Chapter Ninety-Nine
If there was to be any one who knew about the anomaly of this activity, it would be the Radish and the others. At John's restaurant, everyone was given that task. At the time, a few people just thought that this mission was the same as the internal test, a national war for territory and population, but this time the war took place not around the Nimitz Empire.
However, this idea changed when they returned to Carrot's home: this time, the men's mission was not to follow the army, take in people affected by the war or protect civilians from disasters, but to investigate the traces of cultists. Although the current radish is still just an ordinary apprenticeship profession, the difference between the current radish and the real knight is only the use of miracles and the experience of training outside. In fact, among the apprentice knights, there are not many people who can be better than turnips.
This time, the five radish members did not act together. Especially Radish, as a relative of the founder and head of the Knights of the Holy Sunshine Cross, and his most favored offspring, his experience is definitely more severe than that of others. Therefore, while the others were only investigating in China and the Duchy of Manhattan, Somme was ordered to enter the Palassa Empire from another direction to investigate the cultists. It's strange that if two gods join forces to investigate the traces of the evil god, it must be in their respective fields, and even if they want to enter each other's domains, they will notify and record in advance, so that they can not only have the idea of reassuring each other, but also get the help of the other party - after all, it is the other party's territory, and it is more useful to speak;
In order to avoid major diplomatic accidents, this time the members who were chosen were all members who had not been baptized as knights, but were loyal enough to the Nimitz Empire and the Eternal Sun, that is, the current teammates of the radish were either descendants of the church nobles or orphans adopted by the church, and they were absolutely loyal. Of course, now they are not led by Turnip, but by another orphan of the Church who is in his forties, and most of the other members are also in their thirties and forties, compared to the youngest of Turnips. These people are people who have been selected to receive various professional training in order to cope with this unexpected situation. Speaking of which, these people have not been baptized to learn miracles, but they are all extremely religious, all of them are devout believers, as long as they accept the baptism, they can immediately bear the seeds of holy power, but in order to hide their identities, they all choose to become shadows in the sun. Therefore, every time I talk about them, Radish doesn't feel a trace of respect on her face. They were all warriors who threw themselves into the shadows so that the sunlight of Ilr could cover a larger area.
And Nimitz City is a very momentary time, even Nimitz City already has evil god believers lurking in it, even including the prison guards. After discovering the cult god, Nimitz began to conduct a secret investigation of the city. The holy city of the sun god hides filth and filth? If this is known to others, I am afraid that they will not laugh off their big teeth.
In order to keep it secret and not let the hidden cult believers know any information about the Radish team, this time, Radish traveled with them in casual clothes, trying not to attract anyone's attention. In order to do this, several men disguised themselves as adventurers, wearing not the glossy, full-covered armor of the Church Knights, but the skins of the adventurers, carrying not the knightly sword of glory but the dagger that the adventurer loved, and carrying a short spear instead of a heavy, solid knight's shield. The originally clean cheeks on his face were stained with fly ash at night, and he looked gray and dusty, without his previous luxury. This makeup artist is a talent! Radish is in the temple, and there are temple professionals to dress up, so that the original aristocratic son disappears, and in his place is a weathered adventurer, even when Radish first saw himself in the mirror, he didn't recognize it at the first time. Of course, if you can do this, Radish won't have to worry about who else will recognize you in Nimitz. As for going out of the city, as long as he ran two laps on the dirt road outside the city, even the prince was about the same as a wild boy in the field.
Carrot's team left the city in the morning, and then began their first event after the game's open beta. Since these people are well-trained elites, they naturally don't have to advance slowly like ordinary people, and they have enough money on them, and they don't worry about supplies, so although they set off a day later than the militia battalion, in fact, as early as the militia battalion was still marching slowly in the Duchy of Manhattan, several people had already entered the territory of the Palassa Empire.
In the past few days, the group slept in a cheap inn at night, and the six people wanted two single rooms, and the three or three groups lived in two rooms; of course, the food was well managed, but the wine and food were not touched. If it is a remote town, it is natural to stay in the inn honestly, and if it is a big city, the two groups will take turns to go out to find out the news if the curfew is not strict or there is no curfew at night.
As mentioned before, cultists of evil gods usually lurk in the middle of the crowd, and they cannot be identified if they are not directly exposed to the divine light. But the cultists of the evil gods all have something in common, that is, they basically have a more tragic past, either they have been treated unfairly, or they have a deep hatred for such people who are most loved by the evil gods. Therefore, when people investigate outside, the focus is on people who have been bullied, or settlers from outside. Of course, this is not accurate, but it can only be said that this type of people is the most likely to appear as a cult god. After all, now I don't have the right or the ability to forcibly identify everyone.
Well, to be honest, even if everyone found someone who was suspected of being a cult god, they could only observe from a distance and then look for clues behind them, instead of directly arresting them. Of course, so far, everyone has found not twenty but eighteen suspected evil god believers, but in the end, it was found that they were all misjudged, and none of the real evil god believers were found.
Of course, that's not to say that turnips are now in vain. You must know that the teammates who are now with him are all old fritters who perform various hidden tasks all year round, and along the way with them, Radish has learned a lot from them, if he has only learned the knowledge of books, the etiquette of nobles and the bravery of knights in the past, but he knows very little about the communication between the markets, especially about the acquisition of information and the ability to analyze, it is even more unheard of. But his companions can just sit in the tavern and listen to the conversation around them, or spend a little money on two small goods from a small trader and then chat casually to obtain some gossip in the market, and finally, through analysis, they can separate the information they need from these seemingly chaotic rumors.
