Chapter 80: Gambling
Seeing the paladins and squires scrambling, Pije could conclude that they didn't know Anne's true identity for the time being, otherwise they wouldn't have pounced so willingly to send her to death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Dangdang—"
The room on the first floor was kicked open one after another, and screams kept coming. There were not a few of the little nobles who had been prostituting themselves with the prostitutes in the inns, and these people, who were not bound by the scriptures like the fellows in the sanctuary, were suddenly frightened, and could not help but be furious, and shouted at the clergy who were not long-sighted.
"Bastard! Do you know who I am? I'm ......."
However, this kind of deterrent power, which may have some deterrent power in the traditional power system of the Empire, has no effect on the paladins, after all, they belong to two different institutions, and the paladins have the right reasons for patrolling, and there is a sheriff from the public security administration office outside, so there is no need to be afraid of this small intimidation.
Amid the screams of the women and the cursing of the men, the entire first floor of the inn felt as if it had just been subjected to a hurricane, and everything that could hold it was either opened or destroyed. The weak boss faced the mess in front of him, and could only shout in his heart, how long will it take to make up for the loss.
The first floor was quickly inspected in the midst of a flurry of chickens and dogs. Except for the excitement of watching the romantic action dramas in the process of destruction, the paladins and their scores have nothing else to gain. Unwillingly, after receiving the order, they immediately rushed to the second floor.
"Bang Bang - Open the door - dang!"
The red-eyed paladins had apparently not given the occupants of the house enough time to open the door, and they had already kicked it open. The leader took the long sword and entered the house in a menacing manner, and the people behind him were about to rush in, but they were firmly blocked out.
The huge vicious dog looked at the people in front of him fiercely, and the snow-white teeth faintly showed in his mouth, warning that if anyone came closer, he would not be welcome.
But this time the team came differently from the previous one. Although the people in charge of taking the lead are all low-level paladins, since they have thrown off the hat of the squire, it means that they have a certain amount of magical power.
The paladin standing at the front seemed to be slowly retreating, but in fact there were words in his mouth. Soon, a "mantra of obstacles" appeared on his body.
This defensive mantra has a similar effect to the Light Shield, but it is not as defensive as the latter, and has the advantage of being able to attack in one direction while defending.
No matter how sharp the teeth of an ordinary beast are, it is very difficult to break through this seemingly weak barrier, so the paladins are not afraid of it. He leaned forward, the tip of his sword slightly upward, and he wouldn't hesitate to cut the dog's throat if something moved.
"I guess you've come to the wrong place, this is Miss Anne's house."
Alice's massive figure suddenly flashed out of the inner compartment, followed by Sam and Bols. The fat girl originally planned to take out the momentum of a noble maid, but when she saw these fierce paladins in front of her, she couldn't help but feel weak, and she had no confidence in what she said.
Of course, the paladins knew who the fat girl in front of them was. Today, at the commemoration ceremony of the Ondale Church, almost everyone remembered the beautiful noble lady Anne, and of course they also remembered the appearance of the fat maid next to her.
But this time the paladin didn't come to catch up with Miss Anne. His gaze was fixed on the three people in front of him, then he turned to the people behind him and said, "Tell the Bishop, we have found Miss Anne." ”
Actually, things are not more troublesome than this. According to the old paladin Herbert, all those involved in the operation can go on a rampage when conducting a search, without any regard for the identity of the other party. But the young paladin felt uncomfortable at the thought that he might have to be rough with an elegant and beautiful aristocratic lady who had come from afar, or even kill the strange beasts that the other party had raised.
After listening to the message from upstairs, Bishop Harvey was expressionless: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing next time." When no other orders are issued, everything is done according to the established policy. ”
The implication is that you can search how you want, and you don't have to save face because of the identity of the other party.
In fact, Bishop Harvey couldn't have been clearer about the old paladin Herbert's thinking. This time, they used such a big battle to search for an inn, which was actually like a gamble. Neither he, Harvey, nor Herbert, was sure that the beautiful girl upstairs who claimed to be a noble lady had something to do with the Night Race.
But Bishop Harvey had to admit that sometimes intuition is a very scary thing. Because this kind of thing that only relies on inner feelings to judge right and wrong can actually be replaced by another name, which is called experience.
What exactly did Herbert rely on to tell that Anne had a problem? If this old guy really said it, it would definitely surprise everyone. His reason was that Anne had been too active in recent times.
That's right, if you link the appearance of this woman to a series of events that Ontario has recently encountered, you will find that there are many coincidences.
It can even be said that the catastrophe of the bright race of Ontario began with the appearance of this beautiful woman.
Why did the Night Race come after she sent the shards to the Templar? Why did the two paladins who appeared in the Sanctuary at the same time as her carry a succubus? Why prostitute. Will the prostitute's priest be found in the inn where she lives? Why is she the only one who saw that so-called monster today? Why was the knight with her captured near the ruins of the Templar......
At first glance, this sequence of events seems to be nothing more than a coincidence, as there is no accurate evidence to point to Anne. But old Herbert has always believed in the truth that it is impossible for all coincidences to occur in the same person, just as dragonflies cannot always be in the same place.
Think of all coincidences as well-planned conspiracies, and everything will make sense. Because of his full confidence in his own judgment, Herbert dared to carry out this manhunt on the important day of San Antonio's birth, in the presence of high-ranking clergy who came to Ontario from various cities of the Principality.
Whether this judgment is correct or wrong depends on the final result.
