Chapter 116: Two Faces
Alice has been a bit sullen lately. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, because the main attention was focused on a series of events in Ontario, the Tank Girl only occasionally brought up Betty, who disappeared with Sem. But as the situation stabilizes, the thoughts and worries about the stupid cat begin to ferment, and Alice gradually can't sit still.
"It's been so long, why haven't the people we sent out to search for anything have any news?"
"That guy Sem usually eats so much, what if he gets hungry and eats Betty one day? No, I'm going to find it. ”
The girl's less round body jumped up from the couch and rushed outside. Pols called out to her, but to no avail. He looked at Anne and Vicious Dog at the other end of the room, and saw that the two guys had no reaction to Alice's departure.
"Don't worry, she'll be back in a moment." Anne flipped the page of the heavy Encyclopedia of Surprises of the Three Planes in her hand and said lightly.
The vicious dog Pijie stuck out his tongue and stood next to the Fallen Angel's sister, also staring at the contents of the book with wide eyes. But at this time, his main mind was not in the book. Anne often carries a fragrance on her body, and as the weather cools down in the past two days, this fragrance is even stronger than before.
In the distance, Bols looked at the vicious dog lying next to Anne, and suddenly felt a little envious, and secretly sighed in his heart: Sometimes people are really inferior to dogs.
But before he could deepen this thought in his mind, Alice's figure had already appeared at the door. It was less than a minute between the girl leaving the house and returning.
"It's too dark outside"
I'm afraid that this kind of fear of the dark that has been brought out since beating my mother's womb will become Alice's shortcoming in this life. On such a dark night, if you let her walk alone on the road for a few minutes, it is better to let her die directly.
Anne glanced up at her, then closed the book unhurriedly and smiled, "Although it was a pure accident that we lost Betty and Sam this time, it doesn't mean that it is not a good thing. The Candle of Light is not just for lighting and exorcism, it is something condensed by countless light races with blessings and prayers, and the space to play is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. But if you want to fully exert this power, a period of experience is essential. ”
Alice will be skeptical of Anne's words. But when she looked at the dark sky outside, she could only assume that it was true.
There was a "boom" sound outside the door, as if a team of people had passed by the door.
Several people have become accustomed to such voices. The Grand Duke of Baria came to power, and although most of the nobles did not dare to raise objections to this, there were still some people who did not know the times who were not convinced. They tried to collude with each other, openly and covertly planning to get rid of the Grand Duke of Barria. In just two weeks, there have been several riots and assassinations.
Thus, in the name of "restoring order", the Grand Duke of Baria began to carry out clean-up activities throughout the Duchy of Finere. In this expanded clean-up, there were many unjust, false and wrongful cases, which led to the danger of everyone among the nobles.
And the team of people who just passed in front of the door should have gone to catch some unlucky bastard.
Bols, who was on the side, also heard the noise outside, and looked down thoughtfully. Then, he suddenly looked up at Anne and said, "I want to join the Principality's security forces." ”
They all turned their heads to look at him.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this for many days." "I've had enough of seeing you have something to do, but I can't help you with anything." If I can join the Principality's security team, I can learn the fighting spirit of this plane, and maybe I can do something for you inside. ”
He looked at Anne with a determined gaze.
The latter nodded: "You can go to Davidson tomorrow, and he will take care of these things for you." ”
To be honest, Anne didn't think that the job in the sheriff's office was suitable for Bols's character, but since the young knight had such a request, she had to go with him. Pols and Davidson are projections of each other, and their personalities are similar, but they should have many common languages.
After solving the problem, Pije and Anne communicate with each other in a spiritual connection.
After Bishop Harvey returned to Ontariel, they secretly planted some eyeliner in the templar. Kyle, who was in charge of the matter, used coercion and inducement to take all the janitors who worked for the church for his own use, so that they could keep a close eye on Bishop Harvey's whereabouts and eavesdrop on the bishop and other clergy.
The purpose of this was not only to find out about the Templar's plan of action in advance, but also to find out where the artifact fragments were. According to Pije's speculation, they should still be in the city of Ontario. But after observing these days, I didn't find any clues.
"It would be nice if Betty was here." Pije couldn't help but miss the stupid cat at this point. If you send Betty to find it, you can go through the Sanctuary without getting caught.
After returning to Ontaret, Bishop Harvey suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
The Bishop, who had been a clergyman in the Duchy of Finnier for decades, hurried back to Ontario with two hundred Holy Knights borrowed from the Alliance, hoping to organize other clergy in the Duchy of Finnier to carry out a comprehensive purge of the Night Race in the territory.
But when he met the new Grand Duke, he unexpectedly put a hot face on his cold buttocks. When Bishop Harvey had finished his thoughts, he found that the Grand Duke of Baria did not seem to be interested in his train of thought.
"I don't think the bishop has to worry about these things. The Night Races that followed the Posador rebellion have all been wiped out, and even if there are one or two fish left that slip through the net, there will be no chaos. One more thing to tell you is that the Duchy has issued a new decree that allows anyone who abides by the law to operate within the territory of the Duchy. Therefore, the Templar will only need to be responsible for arresting the Night Race who violate the law and order regulations of the Principality, and the work will be much easier. ”
Hearing this, Bishop Harvey couldn't react for a while: "You mean that even the Night Race can operate at will within the territory without violating the laws of the principality?" ”
"In theory, that's true, but in practice there will be some control."
Archduke Baria suddenly leaned his head close to Bishop Harvey's ear and whispered, "This is only a temporary measure taken at this time, in order to appease the Night Race. How useful do you really think those Holy Knights brought from the Alliance will be? The Night Race can't be killed, and Ontariel can't afford to toss again. ”
