"Dejero, is Lawson back?"

Turner asked, his old acquaintance hadn't been seen since he had left to chase the bandits three days earlier, so he was specifically concerned.

Lawson has not returned, and along with his men, he has disappeared. ”

Dejero shook his head.

"Missing?"

Turner asked, his brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but think of the hesitation that Lawson had had when he tracked down the horse bandits two days earlier.

"Yes, now Lawson is not alone, there are several captains of the church's guard who are also missing, they are all going to cooperate with Lawson to suppress the bandits, according to some of the people who have returned, some of them have seen several captains captured alive by horse bandits. ”

Speaking of this, De Yero's face has become very ugly, the collective disappearance of several officials under his command cannot but be said to be the shame of the escort group, and he is only afraid that he will bear the brunt of the responsibility, if it is not for this matter that he can't hide it at all, he has no face to say it at all.

"Several of them should be high-level swordsmen, especially Lawson, who should already be the pinnacle of high-level swordsmen, what kind of horse bandits can capture them alive?"

Turner couldn't hide his shock and asked, after all, he had also seen the horse bandit from a distance that day, and he really didn't see the horse bandit's strong combat effectiveness except for running fast.

"Captain Lawson came back with a message before he disappeared, the leader of the horse bandits is the great magician Amaar, if there is really a great magician, it is not impossible to catch a few high-level swordsmen. ”

Emaar's prestige and prowess were the only things that could comfort Dejero.

"Didn't the Bolsma bandits have been uprooted, and where did Emaar come from?"

Turner asked, confused, feeling that the matter was getting stranger and stranger, and that the Bolsma bandits, who had disappeared for a year, appeared at this juncture.

"yes. These bandits are all masked, could it be that someone deliberately confuses their eyes and uses the identity of the bandits to divert attention, but in fact has other plans?"

Bishop Dennis, who had long been aware of what had happened, was equally skeptical.

"This is indeed a very important suspicion, but according to the guards who came back, they saw with their own eyes that the magician used the fire puppet magic, I specifically asked General Camp about this matter today, Emaar's magic at the bottom of the box is the fire puppet, it is said that this magic array has not yet been used by a second person on the mainland. ”

Djero said.

"It's weird, even if they're really Amaar leading the team, then what are we going to do with our captain?"

Bishop Dennis was equally puzzled.

"My lord, I think there is a possibility that they deliberately use this method to weaken the strength of the adults' side, so that they can have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos during the celebration. ”

Djero speculated.

"At the moment, it seems that this is the only possibility, but now that their identities have been revealed, we can't let them succeed anymore. Don't wander around these days, stay in church with me, and on the day of the celebration, have General Stephen and Kempdor send some people over to keep the law and order. If they want to make trouble, they will definitely find a way to enter the city, let the soldiers guarding the city be careful, strictly check some suspicious people, and would rather misidentify them than let a person suspected of being a horse bandit enter the city. ”

"Don't worry, my lord! I have already instructed that since yesterday the inspection of entering the city has been tightened, and all unidentified Higgs are not allowed to enter. ”

Djero assured.

"My Excellency Pollit and Turner, in order to ensure the safety of the Lord, I propose that all the Lord's activities in Lua City be cancelled before the celebration. ”

Dennis continued.

"Bishop Dennis, in view of the current serious situation, I propose that this celebration be cancelled. ”

Pollitt retorted angrily.

"This is absolutely not possible, now that believers from all sides have rushed over, if we give up at this time, the prestige that the Holy See has just established in the east of Higg will be lost, and the brilliance of God will be dimmed because of it, and His Majesty the Pope will definitely not accept this result. ”

Bishop Dennis said with some excitement.

"Then we have to scale it down, otherwise it is very likely that the horse bandits will take advantage of it, and I don't want the Lord to see the scene of believers being slaughtered by horse bandits. ”

Pollitt's tone was unceremonious.

"I will consider the attitude of the Lord. Okay, let's eat first. ”

Bishop Dennis nodded with a gloomy face, in fact, he didn't care much about the feelings of the Lord in Pollit's mouth, but he had to take care of the other party's face, because although the other party was not the heart of the Holy See, it was the face of the Holy See. However, he did not want to continue the conversation, so he hurriedly ordered the servant to bring the dinner, and the four of them began to talk while eating.

After the meal, Bishop Dennis and De Yero sent Pollit and Turner back to rest before De Yero followed Bishop Dennis back to his study.

"My lord, I have a bad feeling that these bandits may not be coming for the celebration, but for a few of us. ”

After Bishop Dennis sat down, Dejero sat down across from him and said with an uneasy expression.

"For a few of you?"

Bishop Dennis looked up in surprise, looked at De Hiero, who was a little pale, and asked puzzled.

"Yes, sir. The people who went out this time either escaped or found the body, only Lawson and the four of them didn't see anyone alive or dead, so they couldn't have fled en masse and didn't dare to come back, right?"

"There is some truth in your speculation, but they must have a purpose in dealing with you, do you have a grudge against the horse bandits?"

"No, that's what I don't understand. ”

"No matter what, you stayed by my side all this time, and did not act alone, let alone go out of the city, until the end of this celebration. However, General Camp's side must intensify the search, Lawson and the others must see people alive and dead corpses, and the horse bandits who are causing chaos must also be brought to justice, understand?"

"My lord, what if the horse bandit has already run away and can't be found at all?"

"Dejero, you have been in the Holy See for so many years, and you should understand some truths. It doesn't matter if you can find the real bandits, it's the most important thing to give the believers an explanation, the prestige that the Holy See has accumulated in the east of Higg in recent years is not easy, you should know as well as I do. After the people in the east of Higg experienced civil strife, they were all like frightened birds, they needed a sense of security, so we will give them a sense of security, so the horse bandits must be ambushed, so that the believers can see the strength of the Holy See to control the situation, and improve their confidence in the Holy See, do you understand this time?"

"Yes, sir. I'll go back and do it right away. ”

"You don't have to go to this matter personally, just send someone, and don't rush it, I don't want to see anything bad happen during the celebration, and it's best if the horse bandits run away. ”

"My lord, do we ignore Lawson and them?"

Dejero was very surprised by Dennis's arrangement, which was equivalent to giving up the rescue of Lawson and the others, but after all, he and Lawson had worked together for many years and had some friendship, so he couldn't help asking.

"Dejero, I have a different guess about the horse bandits. ”

Bishop Dennis didn't seem to hear Dejero's question at all, he tapped the table in front of him with his slender fingers, a pensive look on his face, and after a moment he looked up again, and the tone changed, and the topic turned back to the beginning.
