Chapter 314: The Old Man

"Ignore them, they're not here for our group anyway. ”

Alan was not surprised by Stanley's discovery, this is the center of the Holy See, the holy place of faith, and most of the people in the religious reception house where they are located are inhabited by outsiders, it would be strange if the Holy See did not strengthen the relevant surveillance. Of course, their surveillance is not used to prevent someone from assassinating the Pope, but they are worried that someone will take the opportunity to make trouble and damage the image of the Holy See, which is why Alan is not worried at all, they are here to assassinate the Pope, and he disdains to do such a trivial matter.

"Brother Alan, what are we going to do next?"

The little girl asked.

"Don't worry, there are still a few days left on Des Hepburn's birthday. Now that we have come, we have walked around and walked around and learned for a long time that although the regime of the Holy See is cruel, the cultural achievements of the faith he advocated are still worthy of recognition. Of course, we also have to find out if there are any magic crystals to sell, and we can't pin our hopes on the merchant we just met. ”

The next day, the two elves stayed, and Alan took Stanny and Miranda with him, and began to wander around the inner city, listening to the preaching of the priests on the side of the street, and watching the believers in the square sing their praises together. The two teenagers were in high spirits, and Alan looked in the direction of the Temple of Light, preoccupied, knowing that there was an old man of his own who lived in an area of that palace, and it had been three years since he had been in a hurry. Alan thought he had forgotten about her, and it wasn't until he came here that he woke up the dusty memory in his heart.

"Are you okay?"

Alan muttered to himself.

"Brother Allen, what are you talking about?"

The little girl feels that today's Alan is a little strange.

"Oh! nothing. ”

Alan shook his head, as if trying to dispel the flood of memories from his mind.

After a whole day of wandering around the inner city, he couldn't find a place to sell magic crystals, and on a few occasions he quietly asked the owner of the shop if they had magic crystals for sale, only to be seen as an idiot.

"Looks like we're really trying to find a way to get back the magic crystals that the guards took away. ”

Alan left Stanny and Miranda to continue shopping, and he volunteered to find Eros alone.

Eros's address to Alan is a separate courtyard located in the northwest corner of the city, and being able to have a separate courtyard in the inner city of Farston shows that Alos has a lot of energy in Winston. However, Alan didn't care about this, he just wanted to get the magic crystal back as soon as possible, if he couldn't get it back, he could only go out of the city to buy it elsewhere, but it was very likely that it would be too late, so he could only choose to give up this long-prepared assassination operation.

Eros warmly entertained Eren who came to the door, and talked to Eren about his business experience, until Eren realized his intentions, and he suddenly remembered that he had promised Eren to help him get back the magic crystal.

"Rest assured, Mr. Baker, I cannot guarantee anything else at Farston, but it will not be a problem to get a few stones back. ”

Seeing that Eros agreed, Alan could only take his leave, and Eros ordered the servants to send him to the door.

Alan just walked out, didn't wait for the door behind him to close, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves, and a carriage drove in directly from the outside, and on the open carriage in addition to the coachman sat a fat man with a round face, he didn't see Allen, but just rode in the carriage and drove straight in, and the doorman didn't even stop him, as if he was returning to his home.

Standing at the door, looking at the fat man's back, Alan felt that he was a little familiar, like an old friend of his, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

On the way back to the reception center, Allen's mind was filled with the figure of the fat man, and for some reason, the appearance of the fat man made him feel faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Brother Allen, we have visited the Vanston Museum today, which exhibits the relics and deeds of the previous popes, but only the fifteenth pope is missing. ”

Seeing Alan coming back from outside, the little girl immediately ran to him excitedly and told him what she had seen and heard in Winston City today.

"Pope XV, wait! I thought..."

The fifteenth pope in the mouth of the little girl is Gabriel Hepburn, Alan knows, but he has never said anything about the old man Hepburn, so Miranda does not know that the previous pope has been designated as a blasphemous by the Holy See, so all traces of him in the Holy See have been deliberately erased, even if this old man was the most merciful of all the popes.

"Brother Alan, what did you think of?"

The little girl saw that Alan didn't react after hearing her words, but was just in a daze, so she shook his arm and asked.

"It turned out to be him. ”

A light suddenly appeared in Allen's daze, and he finally remembered who the fat man he had seen outside Eros's house during the day.

"Who?"

"Ogg, a papal agent posing as a businessman. ”

When Alan completed his first mercenary mission and returned to Boulder City from the ancient city of Aogu, he had traveled with a caravan, and the owner of the caravan was Ogy, so many years later, Alan saw him again today and didn't think about it for a short time. It wasn't until he heard the little girl mention the fifteenth Pope Gabriel Hepburn just now that Allen remembered that it was the caravan owner Augur who brought Gutesian and others to Nanshan, and successfully lured the old man Hepburn into the ambush circle of the Holy See through the Phelps family, so Augur's identity as a service for Des Hepburn was almost revealed. It's just that Alan never saw him again in the ancient city of Oulton, obviously because of the time of the old man Hepburn, Ogur did not dare to show up in the ancient city of Ogucheng for fear of revealing his identity, but he didn't expect to meet him again in Vanston, and it seems that he has a good relationship with Eros.

Ogy's identity made Alan deeply uneasy, remembering the methods used by Des Hepburn to deal with his uncle Gabriel Hepburn, Alan always felt that wherever this person appeared, there was a smell of conspiracy, making him feel as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake from the shadows.

"Is it Mr. Baker? This is what my master asked me to bring to you. ”

Early the next morning, a man dressed as a servant found Allen's residence and handed him a box.

"So fast?"

Alan opened the lid of the box and saw that there were several colored stones lying inside, which were the magic crystals that had been collected by the doorman before.

"Yes. Yesterday as soon as Your Excellency left, the master's brother sent the stone over. ”

"Is your master's brother named Ogy?"

"Your Excellency knows him too?"

"Of course! I have a lot of old people here!"

Facing the honest servant, Alan laughed.
