Chapter 70: The Wanted Adventurer
Just when Qian Yunyue and his party were busy strengthening the enchantment, an unbelievable wanted notice appeared at the towers of the major cities of Dongsheng Kingdom.
Reward Wanted: Adventurer Qian Yunyue and Adventurer Ling Ziyan, these two people despise the state religion, brutalize the believers, and are extremely heinous, and are now wanted nationwide, and the reward for providing clues to the state religion is 100 taels. The person who captures the prisoner alive will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels and will be given the position of priest. βDongsheng National Religion Worship Dragon Religion
This is the first time in history that an adventurer is wanted, and it is not the dynasty that has issued the wanted warrant, but the state religion. The players are all dismissive, this is clearly a hidden plot triggered by Qianyunyue and the others, it has nothing to do with them, and it is not a player task. However, it is different for NPCs, there is a bounty of 100 taels just for providing clues, which is a great asset for civilians.
"Ding Dong, warning, you have been wanted by the Dragon Worship Sect, there is no safe area within the Dongsheng Kingdom, you will not be able to use teleportation props and facilities, please be careful to accidentally injure innocent NPCs when triggering the battle, otherwise you will be punished by the system."
The two of them were stunned, they didn't expect that the Dragon Worship Sect actually had so much power and moved so quickly, this notice meant that before completing this branch line, the entire Dongshengguo region would be a battle area for them.
"Ahh It's not like I can't even go home, my clothes! Ling Ziyan suddenly screamed, then pouted and turned her head to look at Qian Yunyue, "I don't care, you have to go back and take out all my clothes." β
Their property was shared, so even if it was the clothes that Ling Ziyan kept in the closet, Qian Yunyue could take them.
In fact, even if Ling Ziyan didn't say it, Qian Yunyue was going to go back to the Eastern Holy City alone to check the situation, he could fly with the sword, which was naturally much more convenient. The second task has been completed just now, and the third task is quite general, to go to various places to collect information about the Worship of the Dragon.
So the two discussed, in order to avoid the enemy coming again, Ling Ziyan first took the Qilin family to transfer the place and treat it, while Qian Yunyue went back to the Eastern Holy City to find out information.
Sure enough, there were also some people in dragon worship costumes standing at the gate of the city, checking the passers-by. Each city is protected by an enchantment, and Qianyunyue can't fly directly into it from the sky above the city, so it seems that she can only wait until night to climb over the wall to get in.
After nightfall, Qian Yunyue picked a place where the defense was weak, and used the Cloud Trick to sneak into the Eastern Holy City, he could sense the breath of people, and it was easy to avoid the guards. Sure enough, the house had been cordoned off, and there were still a few dragon worshippers guarding the door. Qian Yunyue sighed with emotion, she didn't expect that going home would be the same as being a thief.
He was stuffing all Ling Ziyan's clothes into his backpack, when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the house, he hurriedly packed up and walked out of the room, and someone had already rushed into the lobby.
"Humph! If you offend the Dragon Worship Sect, do you think you can still have a good life? "The leader is actually the priest from last time.
Qian Yunyue frowned, it seemed that it was because the residence was sealed, and once someone broke in, the alarm would be triggered. He looked coldly at the enemy in front of him, this time he wouldn't keep his hands like last time, the space in the house was cramped, and the enemies were dense, which was just right for him.
"Activate the formation." The priest had just raised his hand and was about to command his subordinates to launch the net that had already been laid, but he didn't expect that a deep sword mark had already appeared on his chest.
How could Qian Yunyue give them a chance, directly pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword, sacrificed the Imperial Sword Technique, opened the fighting spirit explosion, swept through with a sword, and several people, including the priest, didn't even have time to shout out the screams, and they all fell to the ground and died. Before the remaining person next to him could react, he saw a flying sword dancing in front of him, and he saw the king of Hades.
After cleaning up this group of people, Qian Yunyue didn't dare to stay for a long time, so she directly got up and down and left the house.
Dongsheng Imperial City Tianlong City Headquarters of the Dragon Worship
"What?! All dead? β
"Back to the Great Priest, since the branch of the Eastern Holy City did not receive a daily report today, he sent someone to check, only to find that all the disciples guarding the thief's residence were dead." The reporter knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.
"Okay, the deity knows, pass on the deity's instructions, and the local branches will increase the search for the thieves, and the number of all enforcement teams will be doubled, and once the thieves are found, they will be reported immediately." Grand Priest Mo Sen had a headache, and due to the failure of his previous mission, this matter had already alarmed the above. The Sect Leader has personally ordered that these two people must be arrested. But how could the adventurer be so easy to deal with, and according to the reports of his subordinates, these two people were very strong and very tricky, and he couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
"Great priest, my subordinates have something to report." At this moment, a man dressed in a priest's costume walked in.
Mawson glanced at the person who came, waved his hand, and let the person before him retreat.
"The seal has been strengthened in the mountain, and we can't break it, and the unicorn is gone, I'm afraid it was done by those two adventurers." The person who came was Liang Chu, a high-ranking priest, and after the previous failure of the first batch of people's mission, he led people there again, only to find that someone had laid a powerful sealing enchantment, and there was no way to lift it with their ability.
"Forget it, don't worry about the seal for now, the top priority at the moment is to arrest those two back, otherwise when the sect leader blames him, you and I can't afford it." Mo Sen frowned, there had been no good news since yesterday, and they had never suffered such a great humiliation from the Dragon Cult. "You also bring your men to hunt down those two, and you must capture them alive."
Qian Yunyue had already joined Ling Ziyan at this time, he didn't have any pretense, and he didn't dare to stay in the Eastern Holy City, so he decided to come back to find Ling Ziyan first, and then discuss what to do next.
The Qilin family's injuries have been healed and they have lived in the demon refining pot, and Xiao Yan has volunteered to become Qianyunyue's mount, but Qianyunyue is not happy at all, he is also having a headache now, and this task seems to be very troublesome. They can't enter the city in a bright way, let alone ask the NPC for information, and the reward of one hundred taels of gold makes everyone's eyes red.
Ling Ziyan came up with an idea, they could dress up a little like in the costume drama, her sub-profession happened to be a tailor, so she made two sets of costumes that could be disguised in appearance, and then put on a hat, although she couldn't change her appearance, but at least she wouldn't be easily recognized.
The two discussed it and decided to march towards the Imperial City, the root of the problem was the Dragon Worship Sect, so why not go to their base camp.
Three days later, the two of them came to a small village, where there were no dragon-worshippers, and they had just found a wine house to sit down and rest, when in a few moments a man dressed in a white robe and wearing a hat came to their table. "I wonder if I can share a table with the two heroes?"
Qian Yunyue glanced around, there were still many empty tables, and it seemed that this person was obviously doing it on purpose. This person looks extraordinary, and he is not dressed like an ordinary person, and he also has a jeweled sword hanging from his waist. But even if it was a jackal, tiger and leopard, he would not be afraid. "Why not, please take a seat."
"Thank you." The white-robed man sat down and looked at the two of them, "The two heroes are really dragons and phoenixes among people, no wonder they dare to go against the Dragon Worship Sect." β
Qian Yunyue frowned, reached out and pressed Ling Ziyan, who was about to have a seizure, and turned her head to look at the white-robed man, "What do you have to do?" β
The white-robed man smiled slightly: "The two heroes don't have to worry too much, if I have bad intentions, I won't sit down and talk to the two of them." β
"You have something to say." Although Qian Yunyue didn't know how he saw through the identities of the two of them, it was obvious that he came prepared.
"The hero is really fast-talking, so I won't beat around the bush. I am Long Yao, the prince of Dongshengguo. The white-robed man's face did not change, but he still smiled slightly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you looking for for our two people? It shouldn't be as simple as sharing a table and drinking a glass of wine, and His Royal Highness, dressed as a person from the rivers and lakes, seems to have another hidden meaning. "At first, Qian Yunyue thought that it was some kind of Jianghu people from the Great Gate Sect, but the Jianghu people didn't have a reason to find them unless it was for a reward. Either it was someone who had something to do with the Dragon Worship Sect, but he never expected it to be the crown prince of the dynasty.
"To be honest, I've been waiting here for more than two hours, and I'm going to go to the Imperial City, and this is the only way to go." Long Yao suddenly became a little excited, "Now that I have to see the two of you, I feel that I am not wrong, I have a request, I hope that the two heroes can be fulfilled." β
"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." The red tape of these big-name people is really troublesome, and they can't get to the point for half a day. If it weren't for Qian Yunyue who had been pressing Ling Ziyan, it is estimated that she would have broken out a long time ago.
"I hope that together with the two heroes, I can destroy the Dragon Worship Sect and restore the peace of my Dongsheng Kingdom." Long Yao is colorful.
The two were stunned, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to destroy their own state religion with them? This shouldn't be a trap, it seems that the muddy waters of this story mission are a bit deep. However, Qian Yunyue reacted instantly, this must be related to the third task, they have been like headless flies for the past few days, and they can't collect information about the Dragon Worship Sect at all, but they didn't expect to send it to the door now.
As Long Yao told the story, the two gradually understood the cause and effect. Dongshengguo believes in the dragon god, the royal family is also the surname of the dragon, the dragon worship was originally only a religious organization in the imperial dynasty responsible for sacrifices and historical records, until more than ten years ago the new religion lord ascended the throne, the dragon worship began to develop rapidly, under the banner of believing in the dragon god, to get eternal life, enjoy the slogan of peace to brainwash the people, in the country instantly has a large number of believers. And Long Yao's father also believed it, but think about it, as a ruler, who doesn't want to live forever and never die. As a result, the Bailong Religion was transformed into the Dongsheng National Religion.
However, this state religion has not done anything good, destroying the environment everywhere to loot natural treasures, slaughtering demon beasts to obtain the inner pill, and even spirit beasts are not spared. And it is said that they also use living people to alchemy, in the past few years, the number of missing people in the country has doubled, but every time the case is closed under the pretext of an accident, after all, this era is full of demons and monsters, and no one knows whether the missing people were eaten by monsters or what. Although the entire Dongsheng Kingdom seems to be a country and a country and a peaceful country on the surface, in fact, it has been secretly made into a miasma by the Dragon Worship Sect, and the people are panicked.
