Call... Call...

Gusts of wind began to appear on the land of the Sennuma Ward at night, compared to the hot flashes of the day, when the wind disappeared from the horizon at the end of the day; The chill brought by the wisps of strong wind made anyone who underestimated the night in the Sennuma District shiver unconsciously; Moreover, even some prepared people, under such a strong wind, will still unconsciously stomp on their cold and numb feet, and give their stiff hands a breath of heat. ,!

"It's my turn to patrol the night again, and it's on this rock wall again!"

The patrol guard in leather armor carried the gun in his hand straight to his back, then tightened the trench coat that seemed thin to him, and muttered to his partner next to him: "I should only need to patrol four times a month, but this is the sixth time I've come out on patrol this month, and three times on this damn rock wall!" ”

Lacking the shelter of trees and bushes, the strong winds that appeared at night in the Sennuma area on this rocky wall covered with gravel undoubtedly exerted its greatest deterrent; The guard who couldn't help but speak trembled after wrapping his trench coat tightly; The four guards in the rest of the team did the same, and even after hearing the guard's complaints, the captain of the squad who walked at the front did not say anything to stop him, but only raised his eyebrows, and then sighed helplessly.

In the face of the facts, any kind of refutation is pale and weak; What's more, the captain's heart is also full of dissatisfaction - like his own team members, as the captain of the team, he also needs to handle patrols and other duties on weekdays. But there were only four night patrols, and as compensation for the night patrols, it was impossible for him to climb the canyon face for the third time in the same month.

"Another team next door. There hasn't been a night watch this month! ”

The player who spoke first continued to whisper; After hearing the words of his companion next to him, he immediately sneered disdainfully: "Those guys have taken refuge in ...... Hey, Elders, can you be like us? Not only did they allocate the most supplies, but they also did the easiest work! ”

"The ...... of the Elders"

After hearing this title, the entire team fell silent for a while, including the team member who said the news. Then there was a look of helplessness.

"Then, if we don't ...... it."

The first team member to speak, looking at the entire silent team, couldn't help but ask carefully.

"Impossible!" The latter member of the team who spoke immediately whispered: "Even if it is a daily night watch." I'm not going to wag my tail at those guys! If you're going, don't blame me for not treating you as a friend! ”

"I—I'm just talking, talking!"

The refuted team member was not angry or annoyed, looking at his friend who had grown up with him, of course he understood why his friend would react like this - facing his beloved who was about to be transferred into the temple to serve the 'god'. Anyone who knows the inside story of the Tao will have such a temper; The fact that he didn't break out and hurt others was enough to prove his friend's reverence for God and his restraint in himself!

"But there are still ten days left in the month, and I have no food left! This month I only got half of what I used to do, even though I had already saved money. But it's still not enough......" The player who spoke first looked at his friend next to him. Said cowardly; And the whole team fell silent again, because. Their situation is basically the same.

"I still have some ...... there"

"You probably only have a day or two left there, right? After the night watch, go to me and get it! As a captain, there are no other benefits, but the rations are more than yours! The leader of the squad at the front interrupted his teammates, and then said to the other two, "Your rations are about the same, aren't they?" Let's go later! ”

"Xie Lu Xie Captain!"

Facing the thanks of the four team members, as the leader of the team, he did not have any joy, he just waved his hand slightly, and said with a slightly gloomy expression: "The high priest has entered the prayer room again, and he has not appeared for a month; Several elders in the Elder Body have already begun to preside over the next month-to-month prayers. The current temple is no longer the temple it once was; That's all I can help you with; If you want to... Alas..."

Before he finished speaking, the captain of the squad who ended with a long sigh turned around and continued to walk forward, the slightly lonely back full of indescribable loneliness; The remaining four team members watched each other and kept up quickly; However, there is already a difference in the expression.

And after this team walked over, in a shadow under the rubble, Ye Qi, who was wrapped in a cloak that was mainly gray and black, and did not reflect, walked out slowly, looking at the departing patrol soldiers, thoughtfully-

The internal cohesion has reached this point?!

Although he was reminded by the strange wolf, Ye Qi didn't think that the other party would be as unbearable as the strange wolf said, but after seeing the performance of this patrol, Ye Qi had to admit that the sentence that the strange wolf said before was 'even if it is re-evaluated, it is just an adjustment of the existing cognition!' There was some truth to that - the previous team was not the first team he had seen, but the fifth; According to Allen's confession, Ye Qi had already observed all five patrol teams belonging to the rock wall where he was at this moment; Almost every one of the five patrol squads was the same as the previous one, full of complaints and dissatisfaction as they went.

That's right, from the moment he quickly climbed the rock wall of the canyon after dark, blessed with advanced stealth, and hid in the shadow of a gravel without moving, until just now, every patrol that Ye Qi encountered made the same sound - as for the priest who controlled the magic that Ye Qi was worried about before, he had not found any trace until now.

"It's not a question of internal cohesion, it's a question of fairness!" The strange wolf's voice still carried a trace of disdain: "Using wealth and power as tempting capital has made countless believers climb up. Even stepping on the body of his own companion is what that guy loves to do! Even, if anyone can get to the top in the low position by any means, not only will they not be punished. Instead, you will be rewarded by him! ”

"So, the current situation is fundamentally caused by a being like you?" Ye Qi asked.

"Well, of course! The confrontation between the so-called elder group and the lower strength is reconciled by the high priest, this is what that guy often does, and even the original name of the 'elder group' has not changed! At this, a wicked smile was evident in the strange wolf's tone: "However, that fellow has never had a good eye; Whether it's a young man who was scared silly by you before. Or the High Priest! ”

"It's not the vision, but such a preference, which has long been doomed to such an ending!"

After coldly replying to the strange wolf, Ye Qi readjusted his posture and only used stealth skills. Quickly leaving the gravel pile, towards the front of the rock wall, cautiously sneaking - according to Allen's confession, there are five 24-hour sentry posts on each side of the canyon overlooking the entire interior and surroundings of the canyon; Moreover, there is a full five-man squad in each sentry as the eyes of the sentry; He had already seen the patrols in the five sentry posts now; But. The priest he had guessed possessed divine magic did not appear.

And it was this priest who did not appear and could use divine magic, so that Ye Qi decisively gave up his plan to use stealth after approaching the canyon - although the detection of stealth could not exist like a sentry, but in Ye Qi's blind combat perception, there were many places on both sides of the canyon mouth and the canyon rock wall, and there were many empty places with abnormal frequent fluctuations.

As far as Ye Qi knew. Although detecting invisibility cannot be a constant magic, it can be activated in the same way as using a magic item. But it can be done; Even, an existence with a slight alchemy level. It is possible to create such a thing—after all, compared to the low-level magic items that are stimulated, the magic is a change of soup and not a change of medicine; Seriously, it's a kind of magical item in itself; It's nothing more than a little more troublesome to add.

However, this is certainly not a problem for the one in the canyon; Even, there is no need for that person to do it; It was enough to cooperate with some high-level priests - of course, with these 'traps' that appeared in the blind battle perception and could be easily avoided, Ye Qi paid more attention to the priest with divine ability.

One of the five sentry posts?

After a little thought, Ye Qi determined the approximate location of the priest with divine skills - the five patrols he had seen were all complaining about the cold wind at night, coupled with the strange wolf's explanation of the existence of a 'special hobby' in the canyon, Ye Qi could guess the location of the priest with divine skills and a completely different identity from these patrols just by thinking on his toes.

With a hint of mockery of the unfair system in front of him, Ye Qi in front of him scanned everything in the canyon while paying attention to the distance from the patrol in front of him—unlike the narrow valley mouth that he had stood in the distance before; At this moment, Ye Qi, who was standing on the rock wall, ignored the obstruction of the night, and suddenly took in all the buildings in the entire canyon; Of course, aside from the fact that the darkness had fallen into the darkness only on the two sides where the lower levels of the temple lived, the canyon was not dark, and even brightly lit enough to dispel the darkness.

From the altar in the middle of the canyon to the two walls of the canyon, all the ground is paved with a uniform length of about five feet of marble; A carpet that glows scarlet at night stretches from the very center of the altar to the depths of the canyon; And on either side of the carpet, every twenty yards or so, there was a marble pillar of three people holding together, standing on the ground; At the top of the pillars, a huge brazier was scattered with dazzling firelight, illuminating the entire road - according to Alan's confession, it was the place he wanted to explore tonight, and the most important place in the canyon of the entire temple: the church.

Of course, what attracted Ye Qi's attention even more was a staircase that had been carved out from under the rock wall in the middle of the canyon to the top of the rock wall, and at the top of the rock wall was a sentry post - this was it; Almost following the stairs to the top of the rock wall, and seeing the sentry post nearby, Ye Qi immediately concluded that the priest with divine abilities he was on guard against should be there; And after getting a little closer, the blind bucket perception came with fluctuations that were different from ordinary people. It confirmed Ye Qi's guess.

After continuing to follow the patrol, cautiously moving forward, and dodging several 'traps' that reappeared, Ye Qi's vision was already completely visible to the cracks in the wooden house made entirely of wooden structures. And the glimmer of light that was revealed in it—based on the lack of light at the previous two outposts, and the reappearance of the 'trap', the priest in charge of the night watch was undoubtedly very 'dutiful'!

Not only did they place a guard around their own re-encirclement, but they also had more patrols go on patrol at night; At the very least, Ye Qi, who has been observing this place since after dark, has not seen the five patrols enter the sentry post or stop to rest; At most, it's a little slower than anything else.

Gently moving his steps. Ye Qi, who was following the patrol, deviated straight from the direction of the patrol in front of him, came to the vicinity of the wooden sentry post, and held his breath to put his narrowed eyes on a gap in the wooden house, and looked in—a middle-aged man dressed similarly to Allen. Wrapped in a thick cashmere blanket, he sat in a wooden chair, leaning against a fire pit made of stones the size of an adult's fist, his head dozing up and down; Only when the cold wind enters the room through the cracks in the wooden house, the other party will unconsciously twist his body; However, even when twisting the body. The priest had no intention of opening his eyes, and at most muttered a few curses in a low voice.

Ye Qi, who was paused outside the wooden house, reached out and took out a test tube containing purple powder from the medicine bag on his waist - the medicine refined by Ava was already a necessary thing for some Ye Qi people to go out; Even if it's after disguising your identity. Ye Qi still had several of these very useful potions with him; For example, something like the one in his hand that Ava calls sleep powder.

Pour out a little and pinch the tips of your thumb and forefinger. Ye Qi blew lightly at the crack in the wooden house; Immediately, the purple powder pinched between the two fingers wafted into the room. And only a moment later, the priest, who was already sleepy, fell into a deep sleep; Listening to the steady breathing, Ye Qi knew very well that if no one disturbed him, the previous medicine powder would be enough to make the priest sleep until the moment the sun rose—and with the previous behavior of the patrol members, it was clear that none of them would have been bored by going in; In other words, from the moment of the moon to the moment the sun rises, he has enough time to find everything he wants to explore.

Of course, there are also patrols inside the canyon; However, as long as you avoid the central altar and intersperse it from the lower houses on both sides, until you reach the church of the temple, there is no problem - with Allen's detailed description, Ye Qi knows very well that the altar in the center of the canyon is guarded by a high priest leading several priests and several patrols day and night; For this reason, the lower part of the altar, which was fifteen feet high, was also carved out of several rooms that could be inhabited, neither large nor small; Previously, one of Allen's main jobs was to guard the altar again.

Although the staircase that winds from the bottom of the valley to the rock wall is a very convenient road, Ye Qi did not choose this inverted staircase - although the staircase is convenient, it is too conspicuous for the people on the opposite rock wall; Perhaps, the patrolmen were still unable to see clearly due to their physical limitations, but the priest with divine skills did not have such an obstacle, as long as he stepped out of the outpost, he would definitely be able to see the scene on the staircase.

Even if this probability is not high, Ye Qi will not take such an unnecessary risk; After all, for Ye Qi, it is not difficult to get from the top of the rock wall to the bottom of the valley - with his agile skills, Ye Qi went straight down the rock wall, and leaned on some protrusions on the rock wall, Ye Qi was like a sensitive monkey, and quickly came to the bottom of the valley; Then, one of them turned over and hid in the shadows of the house next to him.

Stomp ......

When Ye Qi had just ducked into the shadows, a series of fairly neat footsteps sounded, and then, the firelight also appeared in Ye Qi's sight - cautiously, avoiding the light; Following the alternation between fire and shadow, Ye Qi moved his body; It wasn't until he moved to the back of the wall that the light couldn't reach at all, that Ye Qi stopped, and stood silently in another shadow, watching the firelight go away.

It's still a team of five people; However, compared to the team on the top of the rock face, the team at the bottom of the valley is much stronger in terms of dress and appearance—it is clear that these patrol teams that can stay at the bottom of the valley have the existence of 'following' or 'following' someone, and Alan has said that there are several such patrols under his command that defect to him because of better treatment.

The way to survive here is more realistic than the outside world!

Comparing the gap between the patrols seen at the top of the rock wall and the bottom of the valley, Ye Qi cautiously sneaked towards the temple.
