Chapter 146: The Caretaker
Needless to say, the fate of the three black-robed people was not much to say, Xue Hua didn't do much of it himself, and Lilia, who had just finished cleaning up the second floor of the tavern, took the shadow insects and locked them in a small black room full of infected people......
More than ten minutes later, Xue Hua dragged the half-dead bartender out of the sea by the collar, and then threw him at the staircase in the basement to lie down.
This guy's injuries have almost been cured with the mother's feeding, except for a little skin wound that is ready to hurt him for a while, which can be regarded as a lesson for him to sell fake wine.
After solving the problem of the Snake Bay Tavern, Xue Hua quickly rushed to the third altar.
He had obtained information about the third sub-altar from the hapless black-robed lightning mage, a small True God Cult leader who had been lurking in King's Harbour to patrol the altar beneath the Snake Cove Tavern and another altar, and under the nerve parasitism of the infestation, he unresisted the location of the other altar he knew and the basic information of the other altar caretaker.
Originally, in their canons, the two altar keepers were not allowed to know each other, for fear of being pulled out by someone else.
But this guy and the other caretaker have always had a personal affair with each other, and naturally the two often meet privately without the help of other cultists, so they not only know each other, but also know each other very well.
Xue Hua, who got this clue, was overjoyed, and he had a clue to complete the task this time.
He hurried out of the tavern and headed towards the docks in the harbor area, where the next Bloodchild Altar that the lightning mage had given him was in the shallow sea beneath the docks.
At the same time, he ordered Lilia and the Shadow Worms to immediately find another Altar Keeper, and make sure to keep that creature under the control of the Worm before the True God Cult finds out about the problem.
And it just so happened that not long after he left the Snake Bay Tavern, two more guys wearing black silk cloaks hurriedly rushed into the tavern.
They searched around the tavern but couldn't find the person they were looking for, but found the bartender still unconscious at the entrance to the basement.
The two men in black immediately sensed that something was wrong and immediately rushed into the basement, only to find that the basement had been soaked in seawater, and the door of the wine cellar that had been sealed before had been blown open.
The two of them hurried into the cellar, only to see three clumps of mud wrapped in black cloaks and a broken stone slab, on which the sub-altar circle had disappeared without a trace.
"Bastard! What a damn one! ”
One of the black-robed men cursed viciously.
"Draco is a level 62 lightning mage, and there are few ...... in the entire King's Harbor that can make him unable to even make a decent counterattack."
The other black-robed man had a serious face, and his eyes were old and calm.
"Let's hurry up, it's not appropriate to stay here for long, hurry back to the stronghold, and report what happened here to the priest."
He very decisively pulled his companion around and left, without the slightest intention of staying here for another second.
Judging from the situation here, the time of the battle just now is not far away, and the guy who killed Draco is likely still nearby.
He and his companions, one of whom was a level 69 necromancer and the other a level 67 assassin, were only a little stronger than Draco, and if they were met by that guy in this place, they would probably end up in the same fate.
"Let's go!"
The black-robed necromancer slipped out the back door of the tavern with his companion in quick steps, and returned to their stronghold without a moment's delay.
Meanwhile, in a low-slung shantytown off Second Avenue in the port district, two black-robed men are navigating narrow, dirty alleys.
The purpose of their trip was to find another altar caretaker and to bring her back to the stronghold for temporary house arrest at the instructions of the Priest.
These altar guards have at least two altars in their hands, and they must not fall into the hands of the enemy!
The two black-robed men were swift and agile as they navigated the narrow alleys full of debris, turning one labyrinth of intersections after another, and soon found a small dilapidated house that looked like it was made of old planks and dirty strips of cloth.
At the door of this dilapidated house, one of the black-robed men reached out and knocked on the door in a peculiar rhythm, and at the same time said to the crack in the door: "Who is the duck who can't lie?" ”
"There is no duck in this world who can't lie!" A response was quickly heard from inside the door.
"Ducks are livestock, what are you?"
"I am a snake, the snake eats the duck, the snake is stronger!"
"Open the door, caretaker."
"Tell me where you're from."
"The Priestess has an order to return to the Sanctuary at once!"
There was silence in the door of the "......" for a while, and then there was a continuous "click" sound, as if some mechanism had been lifted.
Immediately after, the door opened, and a figure shrouded in darkness poked its head out of the door.
“... Zoya, while I appreciate your caution, you're too cautious, aren't you? ”
"It's uncertain right now, and we can't be too careful until our plan is successful......
The voice came from inside the door again, but it was not the black figure who opened the door.
The door was only then fully opened, revealing the true face of the figure - it was actually just a shadow master.
"The priest recalls the caretaker? Why is that? ”
The Master Assassin's owner slowly stepped out of the shadows of the room, almost wrapped in strips of black cloth that at first glance looked exactly like the Master Assassin......
"There's a tough guy intervening in our plans, and we have to be prepared for the worst......"
"Okay, let's talk about the rest slowly on the way, now let's get out of here quickly."
After the two black-robed men finished speaking, they left directly with the caretaker named Zhuoya, and they didn't even clean up the things in the house.
Less than ten minutes after they left, Lilia surrounded the small dilapidated house with the Shadow Worm.
But when it saw the door of the hut wide open, it knew they were a step too late.
Sure enough, the Shadow Bugs quickly searched the entire hut inside and out, but found no valuable clues.
There was nothing in the room except a bed and a lame broken table, and if it weren't for the fact that there were traces of sleep on the bed, Lilia would almost have thought that this place was unoccupied!
"Let the Overseer Worm expand its vision from this place to the center, and keep an eye out for all suspicious humans and creatures with hostile markings!
When you find them, keep them to death and report back to me! ”
As soon as Lilia gave the order, the swarm's watchdog immediately began to search for the target around the small ruined house.
With their vision almost upgraded to the point where they could see through their legendary camouflage, Zoya and the two black-robed men who came to pick her up were quickly found out of the crowd!
