"After that, the legend of the curse began to circulate here, and now the people in the surrounding towns know about it, and no one dares to come here, and only we homeless people want to come here to see their luck, to see if there are any valuable things that can be taken back for money, of course, the most important thing is that there is another church investigation team here, they are quite good to us homeless people, at least ask them for something, they will generally give some." The beggar said.

"The Church's investigative team?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered, it is true that the Pope said that they are now re-investigating the situation of this matter, so they also sent someone over, Li Huailin now feels that it is necessary to ask this group of people what progress has been made, and whether there is any news about the female knight, so he decided to take a look.

"Any idea where the church's investigative team is now? Take me there. Li Huailin said.

"My lord, are you going to the church? This is not Mingzhi's choice, the people in the church are very good, and they probably won't pay attention to you. The beggar said kindly.

"Huh, ignore me?" Li Huailin sneered, he is a cardinal in the Terran region, you dare to ignore one and try, "Take me there." ”

"Okay then." Since Li Huailin insisted, the beggar also nodded, and then quickly took Li Huailin to a relatively clean-looking building, which was different from the chaotic streets over there, it seemed that the people from the church were here, and the homeless people here did not dare to mess around, but Li Huailin saw that many homeless people were squatting at the door nearby, probably waiting for the alms of the church.

"This is it, then my lord, I'll go first, and I still have to occupy a good position here." After saying that, the beggar here immediately squatted to the side and leaned against the wall next to him.

Li Huailin didn't care about him, and walked directly into the building. Sure enough, I saw four knights at the door, seeing that the other party was dressed as a knight of the church, and when I saw Li Huailin, several knights here immediately greeted him.

"This is the temporary investigation headquarters of the Church, and it is not convenient for people from the Empire to enter for the time being." The knight didn't recognize Li Huailin, but he didn't say anything excessive when he saw Li Huailin's dress.

"I am a cardinal of the Terran diocese. What about your leader, let him come out to me. Li Huailin directly disclosed his identity.

"Huh?" The four of them were stunned, but they couldn't recognize Li Huailin at once, and after thinking about it, they immediately said, "My lord, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask the captain immediately." ”

Li Huailin waited for a while, and sure enough, a person dressed as a knight captain rushed out, and when he saw Li Huailin, the captain here immediately saluted and said, "Woollitz, the No. 6 knight team leader of the Bishopric of the Church of Light." Say hello to the archbishop. ”

"Greetings to the archbishop." Several knights next to him also said immediately.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay." Li Huailin immediately said, "I'm here this time, just to hear the progress of this investigation, I just came from Huang Daren, and he asked me to cooperate with your investigation, so I'm here to ask you what the investigation is going on, and then what help you need." Can you tell me about it? ”

"Yes, no problem, archbishop, please come with me first." Naturally, no one doubts whether the words of Li Huailin, the cardinal archbishop, are true. Woollitz, the captain here, also said immediately.

Following Woollitz, Li Huailin came to the inside of the investigation department, but as soon as he entered, he saw a huge square at the door, on which there were all kinds of corpses neatly arranged, Li Huailin knew that this was the place to investigate the corpses of the townspeople.

"Archbishop. We are now investigating the true cause of death of the townspeople. "We thought that the townsfolk here were killed by the undead attack, but after careful investigation, we found that very few townspeople actually died under the sword, and most of the townspeople did not have any scars on their bodies. But the death is very terrifying, we initially thought that the villagers here may have inhaled the water of death, but after the current investigation, it may not be such a thing for a while, you can see that although the state of death is somewhat similar, the inside of the corpse does not appear to decompose, which is very different from the situation of inhaling the water of death and dying. ”

"I see." Li Huailin nodded, "Do you know now what kind of guide zhì townspeople died?" ”

"It hasn't been investigated yet." Woollitz said.

"Then investigate here first, if you need any help, go directly to the diocese of the main city of the human race to find the vicar Moira, and say that I let you go." Li Huailin said immediately.

"Yes, Archbishop." Woollitz here said immediately.

"By the way, didn't you say that there was a branch of the church here before, some 41 branches of the Holy See Knights? Are all their people dead? Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, we found several bodies that appear to be theirs." Woollitz said here.

"Suspicious?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, it's hard to identify." Woollitz said, "You also know that Death Valley is full of poisonous mist, and these poisonous mists are quite corrosive, when we found these corpses, basically the skin and flesh have been corroded, and there is not much clothing left, but we still found the highly corrupted swords and armor of the church, and we can basically determine that this is the personnel of the church, it should be the people of the 41st branch of the Holy See Knights." ”

"Have you found them all? Are there any fewer members? Li Huailin asked.

"This ...... In fact, there are not all discoveries. Woollitz replied, "In Death Valley we found about 16 bodies of what is supposed to be the 41st Regiment of the Holy See Knights, and then 11 more were found in the town, and about 9 were the bodies of the 77th detachment we sent later, which were well preserved. Do adults want to see it? ”

"No need." Li Huailin said, "So everyone's bodies have been found? ”

"No," said Woollitz on the other side, "......in fact, there is a deviation in numbers, and there are fewer of them. ”

"Less?" Li Huailin asked, and then immediately thought of the female knight, and immediately asked, "How much less?" ”

"There is one less in total, but we don't know which one, because none of the 16 corpses found in Death Valley can identify who it is, so we only know that one is missing, but we don't know which one." Woollitz replied.

"Is there a list?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes." Woollitz here immediately took a slip from the side, then handed it to Li Huailin and said, "The one with the line drawn above has been confirmed dead, and 16 of the remaining 17 people have died, and one person can't be found, I don't know which one." ”

Li Huailin immediately looked at the list, and then saw the name called Lisa, recalled a little, this should be the female knight, thought for a while and asked, "If these people are really alive, they should report the situation to the church." “

"Yes, Archbishop, that's for sure." Woollitz on this side immediately said, "The knights of the Knights of the Church are the most loyal knights, and they will never betray the Church, please rest assured that the archbishop." ”

"So one of them might have died somewhere else?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, it's possible." Woollitz said.

"I see. Continue the investigation in this direction. Li Huailin nodded.

"Yes, Archbishop." Woollitz here said immediately.

After a little turn, Li Huailin didn't find any useful information, so he found a reason to leave directly, and walked out of the door, Li Huailin thought about the current situation, first of all, he could be sure that this Lisa had left, he watched her go, and then did not return to the Holy See, but according to Woollitz, it is unlikely that she will directly betray the Holy See, so it should be an unimaginable situation.

"If you want to see people in life, you must see corpses in death, and you must always investigate clearly." Li Huailin thought about it, and sure enough, he shouldn't be careless, anyway, now that he has time, he carefully asked if he was dead.

After thinking about it, Li Huailin remembered one thing, that is, this Lisa and himself evacuated the villagers in this town before, as if they were going to evacuate them to a nearby big city, Li Huailin vaguely remembered that this city should be called Degara City, because he also took over a related evacuation task.

Thinking about it this way, Lisa here was scared to leave at that time, and the direction she should go to was Degara City, after all, there was a teleportation array over there, and she could directly teleport to the headquarters of the Church of Light to report, so it seemed that Lisa here should have been on the way to Degara City, although she didn't know what happened, but she couldn't return to the church.

Thinking about it this way, Li Huailin also has a way, that is, to look directly along this road and see if there are any clues. However, although the route is very clear, Li Huailin is not very familiar with this area, so it is a little troublesome to find.

Thinking like this, the beggar next to him who had led Li Huailin before posted it again: "My lord, you came out, it seems that your identity is really not ordinary, I see that those knights who are usually very awesome and coaxing are bowing their heads to you to say hello." ”

"You...... Is it familiar to the generation? Li Huailin asked suddenly.

"Huh? I'm very familiar.,I've been wandering here for a long time.,I'm very familiar with the surrounding cities.,Of course, I'm most familiar with the city of Degara next to it.,It's just that it's not easy to mix over there now.,I'm here here.。 The beggar here said.

"Okay, do you want to make some more money? Take me to the city of Degara. Li Huailin said immediately. (To be continued......)
