Barrett stepped forward and tried to flip the two women, only to find that their mouths were stuffed with strips of cloth. 【

'It's okay to look good!' I don't know if these two are the meat goods that the Boulton Brotherhood didn't have time to sell, or if they are a bitter trick played by their family members. Barrett, who touched his chin, lined up his head: "Forget it, what do I think I'm doing here, this kind of thing is still left to those people in the security team to worry about!" Anyway, there is a just Lord's Church, as long as the "Golden Thorn Bird" Viscount is willing to pay the price, he is not afraid of not finding the true appearance. ”

As I said before, the high-level of the organization such as the Brotherhood has learned that the aristocracy is divided and managed by family and blood. Since it is a family, of course it cannot be only men.

Even the members of the Burton family are a group of humane enthusiasts. But without the ability of "male and boy", there must always be a woman to ensure the continuation of the bloodline and the family.

Although the drama once sang "Who said that women are inferior to men", there are still a few people who really don't let women have eyebrows. And no matter what era it is, most of the things that are fought and killed are mostly in charge of men. The number of occupations for women on the continent is also proportionally lower than that of men.

And in the thief industry, there are only a relatively large number of female professionals in the intelligence network. The reason why the brotherhood is called a brotherhood rather than a sorority is naturally related to their internal discrimination against women.

In the previous battles, the Boulton brothers' male top brass may have been able to take advantage of the chaos and escape over the wall. However, family members may not be able to slip out of the noses of players and vigilantes like that.

So for the two women in front of him, Barrett has a kind of vigilance to stay away. However, in order to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the blind spots of the security guards, they will take advantage of the chaos to hide. Barrett still took out two pieces of cowhide rope from his backpack and reinforced, on their hands and feet, last night.

"It's a pity that my rope skills aren't very good. If you want to deal with noodles, there are at least seven or eight ways to tie them! "It looks like there's an ugly cowhide rope on my wrist and ankle. Barrett could only smile wryly and turn away to continue his search.

Across the east side of the kitchen is a wooden door that has been opened. Barrett carefully guarded his surroundings. As he walked into the old wide corridors. He had almost made his rounds around the first floor, and he didn't find anything suspicious except for the two unconscious women before.

"Hell, if only the noodles were in this man! He'll be able to find the secret door. Or let Rielly summon another celestial creature? However, the celestial creatures are aimed at the evil ones themselves, and if the members of the Bourton Brotherhood have already left the house, he will be of little use. It was only then that Barrett realized that it was a bit difficult to move without noodles for a search job like this.

Realizing that he was indeed not very good at this kind of thing, Barrett had to step up the stone stairs on the second floor. However, after he stepped onto the second floor, he found that there was a sense of discord between the thick smoke and the air flow table.

Carefully observing the smoke trail between the hallway and the various rooms, Barrett's mind immediately began to perform a simulation of the most basic fluid formula.

After about 5 minutes of calculations and comparisons, Barrett finally found the key point of discord. Look at the huge blackened oil paintings in front of you. The corners of Barrett's mouth curled slightly: "Although the search technology is not very good, luck still favors me!" I decided before that arson was definitely the right choice......"

Walking up to one of the portraits, which could only discern a third of the content, Barrett didn't care at all about the sparkling stream on the canvas, grabbed the frame and pushed it to the side, then rolled backwards and dodged to the side. Who knows if this painting will trigger a trap after touching it.

After waiting for a moment and there seemed to be no sound, Barrett stepped forward again and pushed away the suspiciously large portrait. Behind the portrait, an inconspicuous secret door appeared in front of Barrett's eyes.

After tentatively exploring the short sword first, Barrett, who felt that there was probably no problem, officially entered the room. What Barrett didn't expect was that the secret room in front of him did not have the secret passage to the outside as he imagined.

What surprised him even more was that there were still many portraits hanging on the walls of this secret room. The portraits were filled with strange creatures of unknown origin. In addition, the remaining space was hung with a round metal mirror, and the uncarpeted wooden floor was marked with a seven-pointed star painted in reddish-brown powder.

"Damn! I seem to have discovered something terrible again. With that, Barrett cautiously exited the chamber, and then patted his breastplate: "Damn." Lao Tzu is not an exorcist who is specifically responsible for this, why do you always encounter such bad things. Forget it, let's let the temple personnel take over! I don't want to get myself in trouble. ”

Barrett, who had made the decision, jumped straight out of the second floor window of the mansion. One of the regiments somersaulted and shouted as it landed, "Captain Warburton go and ask the temple for reinforcements now!" ”

"Request reinforcements from the temple?" Captain Warburton, who was collecting the wounded, was stunned for a moment, and then complained, "If we could have asked the temple for reinforcements, we would have done it a long time ago." But today, they have always pushed back when it comes to things like this. Only the Temple of the Lord of Justice sent a few paladins in the name of purging criminals. Or Mr. Boreham, do you think there's something about you that you might as well give it a try? ”

"I don't have the same face to make the temple side take action, but I'm afraid the situation here can't help the other party. In a secret room I found on the second floor, there was a suspicious place such as a sacrifice on the lower plane. At this point, Barrett unconsciously scraped the tip of his nose with his hand.

Before Captain Warburton could react to Barrett's words, Rielly, who was a little farther away, frowned and complained, "Lower plane sacrifice? Barrett: Don't you think you should go to Timorrah? Why do you always get into that kind of big trouble that doesn't do you any good? ”

"Do you think I like this kind of thing? Along the way, I always feel that the system deliberately arranged them in front of us? At this point, Barrett suddenly remembered the previous system's journey table about the need to activate the power of myths.

This made Barrett immediately frown: 'Damn! It won't be after this journey table. The system opportunity deliberately arranged for me to have contact with those monsters! If that's the case, it's really a difficult future......

Somehow, such thoughts could not be shaken off in Barrett's mind as soon as they appeared. How this guess is correct words. Although, in a way, it does help Barrett complete the combat journey required to obtain the power of mythology. But on the other hand. It has to be said to be a disaster.

You must know that the monsters in that history table are not easy to deal with. Participating in large-scale battles on the main plane can be described as an extremely dangerous act. Because once they live on an alien plane, once they launch a plane invasion, they will often be led by super powerhouses with silver rank or even legendary strength. When the time comes, he was accidentally swept away by the aftermath of the battle, and most of Barrett's current strength is gone.

Just like Barrett, he knows how lucky he has been on the two journeys he has completed. The invasion of the unspeakable in the port of Walter was a complete trick. This kind of tactic without a big monster sea can be met once, which can be regarded as lifting the skirt of His Royal Highness Taimora. Barrett could count on a second time like this.

And the demon invasion incident encountered in Karada was also because his party had received a defense mission in advance, so most of the people he faced were the low-level cannon fodder among the demons - high-level demons such as fire demons and snake demons would naturally have high-level professionals with the same strength to deal with them.

However, a military power like the Norhan Kingdom can be said to be the only one in the Western Continent. In other places, you may not be able to meet such a large number of high-level professionals who are good at fighting. What's more, if a similar event is triggered in the wilderness, Barrett and his party will definitely explain where they are.

What's more, if you face a high-level demon, I don't know if the consumption of the resurrection stone given by the system will increase exponentially - after all, both demons and devils are masters of playing with souls. According to the background, it is very difficult for the intelligent beings who died at their hands to return to the kingdom of God. Barrett doesn't believe that the black heart of the system will not take this opportunity to knock the players hard.

This made Barrett eager to complete the journey sooner and see what would happen when he acquired the power of mythology. However, for the sake of safety, Barrett himself does not want to encounter the monsters he needs for the rest of his journey in the near future. In his opinion, it would be better to be able to encounter such an enemy after a higher level.

Thinking about it, Barrett's frowning look naturally fell into the eyes of his companions. Rielly, who thought she had said the wrong thing, immediately apologized: "I'm sorry! I hadn't thought that much about it before. Things like this are definitely made by the system itself. How can a small person like us have the opportunity to influence the thoughts of the system gods. It's really not your fault that something like this happens. ”

"No, I'm not just thinking about my own business." Speaking of this, Barrett paused, "Rieli, have you noticed that since we players entered the game, it is not just dimensional invasions that have happened more and more often. The contradictions and negligence between the large and small forces in the main plane are already in a state of sitting on a powder keg. ”

"When I hear you say that, I think that there seems to be a trend in the situation recorded by players on offline forums. It's as if the whole continent is about to enter turmoil, but in the end. It seems that my original plan was not going to be completed for the most part......" Rielly frowned as she said this.

For a mage who enters the game half for enjoyment, the turmoil doesn't work with her intentions at all. Only a relatively peaceful environment can allow her to charge and enjoy the pleasure of traveling all over the continent and experiencing the customs and customs of different parts of the world.

Although she is not interested in bloody battles, brutal battlefields. But in her mind, the fun of the game would be lost for the most part. No matter how you think about it, it's an unpleasant thing.

In the midst of Rieleigh's chatter. Several players around were also attracted one after another. After hearing what she said, Claudia. Auditore and Clematis. Bot and Bot were also frowning.

Claudia. Auditore then began to complain: "Damn, the system is still not letting people live." Wrong! The government has also made it impossible for people to live in peace. ”

"Don't let people live in peace. That's right, not letting people live in peace may be the means of this game! Barrett snapped his fingers: "I don't think the government will let a player like me earn credits easily." The reason why the system leads the event to develop this way. Or throw us to this pre-turbulent point in time. It can be said that it is deliberate. ”

Captain Warburton, who had wandered around the house and couldn't find a place, had to come out and ask the players for help: "Mr. Barrett, what are you busy with right now!" Can you take us to see where the secret room is? ”

"Oh! I'll be right away. Barrett had to leave an apologetic gesture to his companions. Led the aboriginal vigilante into the mansion.

"This is it!" Re-enter the same chamber you've been in before. Once again, Barrett was overwhelmed by the eerie atmosphere.

"This?" Captain Warburton and Captain Cassandra both frowned at the same time. They had expected to find the remains of the blood sacrifice or something. I didn't expect it to be just a weird room and that weird magic array on the ground.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Barrett, who saw the other party's thoughts, clapped his hands and said. Not all lower plane sacrifices are bloody. Besides, it is possible that the traces of the last blood sacrifice have been cleaned up. I think the final result will be left to those professionals to judge! By the way, the two ladies in the kitchen also asked the vigilantes to keep an eye on them, and they might know something. ”

"Their identities are indeed questionable." Captain Cassandra nodded, "I'll take care of that." ”

Captain Warburton immediately deployed the personnel to go to the temple to report the incident. Everyone then exited the suspicious chamber as little as possible to disturb the original appearance of the room's furnishings.

Not long after the heralds of the vigilante returned to the district, the bells rang in the temple of the Lord of Justice. Then the clergy of the remaining temples in the borough hurriedly stopped what they were doing at the sound and gathered in the chapel where the prayer and sermon were organized.

It is different from the previous situation when Viscount Christol of the "Golden Thorn Bird" asked for help, or pushed back or talked about conditions. After hearing the news about the lower planes, these church members were like chickens in blood, and their work was surprisingly efficient.

After all, for the vast majority of churches. The conflict between the Viscount Christol family of the "Golden Thorn Bird" and Eetasia, whether they want to participate in it or not is just a transaction or investment. And between those creatures of the lower planes, the two are completely in an endless war.

Soon, a mixed team of people from several churches walked out of the district. With the help of the gods, they galloped all the way, but the rubble in front of them was like walking on the ground.

These even arrived at Burton Manor at a faster rate than Captain Warburton and Captain Cassandra had imagined. Then these anxious guys directly removed the portrait of the first mate who was blocked from the secrets.

The then chamber was filled with clergy, making it difficult for first discoverers like Barrett to find out how they could identify them. Also blocked out were the two vigilantes and their men. In front of the powerful temple, all of you who are connected to the same illness can quietly wait for the result except to look at each other and smile bitterly.

A moment later, the blue and white fluorescent lights in the secret room flashed one after another, and then the voice of the clergy came: "This is a magic array with the different planes, but what kind of lower plane it is still to be verified." ”

"Were you dozing off when you were learning about the plane? This feeling is obviously the magic circle that connects to the plane of the Sun Wasteland! ”

"The Sun Wasteland Plane? Are you sure it's the Sun Wasteland Plane? ”

"Nonsense! You have to trust the professionalism of our church. The Lord plane has the most to deal with them, and we are the only ones besides their believers......"

Although the debate between the priests in the secret room about the plane is not over, the result of the sacrifice of the lower plane here has been conclusive. Whatever the purpose for which the Boulton Brotherhood would use this anyway. They were all blacklisted by the vast majority of churches in the Western Continent.

Of course, for the Viscount of the "Golden Thorn Bird", this discovery has another important significance. That is to affect the relationship between the Etahian royal family and the major churches. After all, it was no secret to those churches why the Burton Brotherhood was in Port Walter.

Since this is the case in the organization of the Etasia royal family. Then the royal family itself will also arouse the suspicion of others. Even if the organization was only a periphery within a periphery, it still couldn't stop the speculation in the minds of others.

"I didn't expect the Burton Brotherhood to do such a thing." Captain Cassandra said with a sigh. Even if he had been fighting for a long time, the security captain still didn't expect that the thieves' union in front of him would be so limitless.

"This gentleman. The temptation of evil spirits is everywhere, and it is a shortcut to power for those who are immersed in darkness themselves. With these words, a well-dressed clergyman appeared in front of them.

This middle-aged man in a white silk robe has a black shiny beard that is not too short. He's just like the Esmung Envoy of the Battle League, and he has a special ability to attract attention just by standing there.

"Do you have any instructions now, Lord Reverend?" For Barrett, dealing with church members was already a no-brainer.

Then the middle-aged priest said unhurriedly, "Since there is a situation of sacrifice in the lower planes, all the actions related to the Bourton Brotherhood will be directly taken over by our churches. So please hand over the two women found in this mansion and the members of the Burton Brotherhood to us for interrogation. ”

"Handed over to you for interrogation? We have finally cleared the stronghold of the Bourton Brotherhood, how can we leave it to you like this. Captain Warburton said indignantly.

Someone's angry words did not affect the pastor, and he still looked calm: "Don't worry! We will complete the negotiation with Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird" on matters related to this regard. The credit that belongs to you will not be affected in the slightest. And if we find any information related to Viscount "Golden Thorn Bird", we will also attach a copy of his hand. ”

"Alright! Since you've all said so, what else can we do? Captain Cassandra, who knew that his security team couldn't resist the opponent at all, immediately shouted to the team members under him while dragging his colleagues in tow: "Close the team!" Out of the estate. ”

Amid the chaos of footsteps, the player and the vigilantes did not have much time to leave Burton Manor. The manor was left with clergy from various churches.

Barrett, who had completed his second goal of the day, turned around and asked, "Captain Warburton's next matter about the Smuggling Alliance, is it necessary for us to mix it up?" ”

Despite his lip service, Barrett did not want to get involved in the smuggling coalition if he could. It's an alternative criminal organization that's very troublesome to deal with.

The smuggling alliance is divided into three parts: collection, transportation, and sale. The person who collects works outside the city to obtain these illegal goods, and this can be done by purchasing the goods in other locations, which is simple, or it can be secretly manufactured or illegally obtained, which is complicated.

The transporters, who were then responsible for transporting it to the city, were first-class smugglers, who might use wooden barrels with false bottoms to carry pottery or through guò long-abandoned sewers. Eventually, the seller will form a black market to sell the contraband. It is a cunning task to let consumers know where illegal goods are available without suing the law enforcers.

Each part has a leader and one or more sub-leaders, and these upper operators ensure the safe movement of goods from one part to another, working together to handle the details. The Smuggling Alliance may or may not have a leader who is in charge of the overall situation. (To be continued.)
