Chapter 19: Self-directed and self-acted
In less than ten minutes, all 29 important officials were present, and the door of the chamber was slammed shut.
"Ahem. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ say Щщщш."
The Old Saint King coughed lightly, and the chamber immediately fell silent, and all the officials looked at the Old Saint King with respectful expressions.
"At 5 o'clock this morning, the immortal crystal goddess statue in the cathedral was stolen."
As soon as the old saint king said this, most of the officials were stunned for a moment, and the others knew the news earlier.
"In any case, the Immortal Crystal Statue must be found today, and the messenger of Simolo will arrive tomorrow morning, and it is a matter of post-war reparations, and martial law in Dawn City must be lifted by tomorrow morning."
The old holy king's expression was serious, and it could be seen that he was also troubled by the theft of the immortal crystal goddess statue, and if this matter was spread to the Simolo Empire, it would be a big shame.
"The Holy King is right, before tonight, the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue must be found, no matter what method is used."
The Moon Goddess also spoke, because the Eagle Marquis was removed, she and the old Saint King's seizure of power came to an end, at least it will not continue for a few days, the three giant Eagle Marquis have just fallen, and before the follow-up matters are dealt with, if one of them falls, there will be a big problem.
"What do you think?"
The old saint king looked around at all the officials present, everywhere he looked, the officials lowered their heads and said nothing, no one dared to take over this matter, and the Luna Monastery could not solve it in one day, in the eyes of the officials, it was simply an impossible task.
"One day, I couldn't find the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue, so I came to see it."
Su Xiao opened his mouth, and the Old Saint King and the Moon Goddess both looked at him.
"Kukulin ......"
The old saint king sighed, at this critical juncture, the ninth unit stood up.
Including the old saint king, everyone present was not surprised, because if this kind of thing had happened before, this meeting would not have been held at all, and the ninth unit would take over as soon as possible, but now, the ninth unit was almost completely disbanded, leaving only the commander, adjutant, and a branch department, Crow's Eye.
"You don't have to come to see it, if it was a month ago, you couldn't find the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue in one day, you really had to come to see it."
The Old Saint King was well aware of the situation of the Ninth Army, and now it was an empty shell.
"Commander Kukulin, today until tomorrow morning, you are free to enter and exit most areas of the monastery."
The Moon Goddess also said that compared to the old Saint King, she was still a little ashamed in her heart, the ninth unit was the two of them, but at the moment of crisis, she still had to rely on the ninth unit.
"Where is the position."
Although Su Xiao's face was calm, he actually felt a little apprehensive, because the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue was in his team's storage space.
Obviously, neither the Old Saint King nor the Moon Goddess suspected Su Xiao, because in their opinion, unless Su Xiao was crazy, it was impossible to steal the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue.
Besides, even if Su Xiao really wanted to steal, there was no chance, near Su Xiao's residence, there were at least more than 30 Moon Apostles secretly watching, and the Moon God Maiden could be sure that Su Xiao was resting in the residence last night, and the only time she went out was in the opposite direction to the Moon God Monastery, and there was no problem with going out that time.
As for where Su Xiao went out last night, it was a coincidence that he received a secret summons from the old saint king last night, and was responsible for dealing with the remnants of the Eagle Marquis, and he was busy until 2 o'clock in the morning before returning to the residence to rest.
Whether it was the motive, the time, or the location, Su Xiao had no chance of stealing the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue.
In fact, the theft of the statue of the immortal crystal goddess was really an accidental event, Bu Buwang saw that the statue was relatively large, so he stole it, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good.
The meeting ended at 8:20, and all departments gave Su Xiao the green light, of course, only today.
Su Xiao took the little adjutant and Baha to leave the Lulunfei Palace, and the little adjutant didn't feel anything abnormal, because this kind of thing used to be within the division of the Ninth Army, and they didn't know how many times they had dealt with it, and they had encountered something more tricky than this.
"Adjutant, Crow's Eye is in your sole responsibility for the time being, bring the map."
Hearing this, the lieutenant took out a map of the imperial capital from his backpack.
"Here, here, and here, set up cards, all the merchants and thieves in the capital related to antiques, cultural relics, and works of art have all been checked, and by noon today at the latest, I will get a clear answer, during which I will send someone to pick up 'those things'."
"Yes!"
The little adjutant hurried away.
"Your name is ......"
Su Xiao looked at the one-armed Moon God Envoy, the other party was a representative sent by the Moon God Maiden, who had fought with him.
"Tree wolf."
The tree wolf's teeth clicked, because it was Su Xiao who cut off one of his arms, but it was still cut for nothing, and it would be very embarrassing to take revenge.
"Take your unit and search the underground drainage system in the city, and if you find ropes, hoisting devices, etc., send them to me immediately."
"Underground...... Drainage system! ”
A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of the tree wolf, he had a cleanliness habit, a very serious cleanliness habit, but Su Xiao asked him to search the sewers.
"Questions?"
"No, ask, question."
The tree wolf agreed word by word, turned around and left.
"Baha, with the Monastery of the Moon God as the center, search the skies above for all suspicious transcendentals."
“ok。”
Baha spread his wings and flew in the direction of the Monastery of the Luna.
"Imperial Courtesan......
"I am Sonia, the flower of the empire."
Sonia hurriedly corrected that she was not a courtesan.
"Take me to the cathedral."
Now that there is an opportunity to enter the Moon God Monastery, of course Su Xiao will not miss it, I have to say that the time for the theft of the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue is very delicate, and tomorrow is the negotiation between the two countries.
Finding the Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue was extremely simple for Su Xiao, but how to find it was the point.
It can be seen from the attitude of the Moon Goddess today that her mentality is almost bloody, and this is no longer a shameful problem.
The Immortal Crystal Goddess Statue, of course, is not just a statue, it has been worshiped by thousands of believers for hundreds of years, even if it is an ordinary granite, under the influence of so many thoughts and powers, it will become an extraordinary item, not to mention the largest immortal crystal on the continent.
When Su Xiao arrived at the Moon God Monastery, martial law had been completely imposed here, but Su Xiao had the double approval of the Old Saint King and the Moon God Maiden.
After passing through the front hall, through a courtyard, and through the sacrificial building, Su Xiao arrived at the door of the cathedral.
There are at least a thousand Moon Apostles guarding the outside of the cathedral, and now not even a fly dares to fly in.
Walking into the cathedral, you will see a large terraced bench, which covers an area of several thousand square meters, the innermost side is a high platform with oily oak planks, and in the center of the back of the high platform, there is a solid wood base three meters wide and half a meter high, on which the statue of the immortal crystal goddess was originally placed.
The solid wood base was covered with golden lines, and what Su Xiao sensed alone, there were six defensive enchantments.
However, for Bu Buwang, who stole the core of the world in the Black King's Palace, these defensive enchantments are even average, and they can't stop it at all, and it is the existence of these defensive enchantments that makes Bu Buwang feel that the statues above are valuable.
Su Xiao stood on the high platform and looked up and down at the solid wood base.
"Who was here last night?"
Su Xiao is following the normal process, he is always thinking about one thing, that is, who to blame for the theft, the already cold Yinghou is of course the first choice, and the dead will not defend it.
