Volume 2 Don't Chapter 15 Discussion (I)
Solar calendar October 1728 Holy capital of Loule
After several days of sailing, the passenger ship carrying Yass Langley sailed through the channel called the "Pilgrimage Road" from the southern continent to the northern continent.
The ship docked in the coastal port city of Loule, the holy capital, and got off the ship, Yass Langli did not rush to leave, she stopped where she was, looking at the lively and busy port at this time.
Most of the people who disembarked from the ship were guild members, as all guilds were headquartered in the Holy Capital, which was a vestige of the guild's predecessor sect. Although the Holy Capital was prosperous, its splendor was not created by commerce and trade, as Pamela did, but by the devout devotion of the faithful. In addition to the members of the guild, there were also some other people on board, some of them were bards, some were craftsmen, some were painters, musicians, and of course citizens of other countries, who came to find inspiration for their work, and ordinary people came to worship the holy places in their hearts with devotion, and some of them, if they were lucky enough, could obtain the right to settle in the holy capital, so that they would leave their original nationality and become citizens of the holy capital, which was a great honor for ordinary believers.
Merchants are not allowed to enter the holy capital, and there are inspections at the port of Loule. Because the principle of the Holy Capital is not to trade with any country or organization, nor to participate in any fighting, it belongs to a completely neutral area. Therefore, there are many people who want to rely on entering the Holy Capital to avoid pursuit, debt, and capture, but they all underestimate the power of interrogating the Holy Word.
"It's still the same, nothing has changed here. Looking at the people who came and went in a hurry, Yass Langli couldn't help but sigh that most of the people who came here were because they were going to their guild's headquarters, so everyone's steps were in a hurry.
She was also summoned by the deputy bishop, Yass Langli didn't dare to spend too much time staying, as long as she arrived at the Adventurer's Guild, she could use teleportation to reach the capital Gilsde, and the deputy bishop should already be waiting for her.
She quickened her pace and walked forward, although there were carriages around the harbor, they were usually hired by people, and it was very difficult for Yass Langli to take care of the image of the priesthood.
"Yass Langley, please wait a minute. A low-key dressed woman stopped in front of Yass Langli with her head down, and her hood covered the woman's face, but judging from her walking posture, Yass Langli judged that she was not an ordinary person.
"Are you?" said Yass Langley, habitually vigilant.
"Mistress Natalia and Mistress Modrella are already waiting for you. The woman lifted her hood slightly with both hands and looked at Yass Langli, the two looked at each other, and Yass Langli recognized her.
"Vice President Enis!" Yass Langley lowered her voice, "please lead the way." The hood that had been blown off because of the sea breeze was now put back on by Yass Langley, and the two left the port like that.
Ennice led her to a secluded back street, which seemed to be rarely visited, the bricks were covered with moss, and the air was filled with the smell of decay "Holy Maiden, this is it" Ennice pointed to a door, which seemed to be the back door of the previous building, and opening it should allow you to enter the building.
"Thank you" Yass Langli held the doorknob, from the handle she felt a magic coming from the handle, she hesitated.
"Holy Maiden, go in. Enise's voice came to her ears.
"Enise, this is the first time you've brought someone here?" Yass Langley leaned back, feeling a sharp object against her.
"I can't count them, Yass Langley. It's a hassle to let them in every time, but it's easier now, don't embarrass me, okay?"
The saint really had no choice now, she unscrewed the doorknob, opened the door, and pulled Yass Langli in with a suction, there was darkness in front of her, and the saint instinctively wanted to hide back, but behind her was a sharp blade, and she held the door frame for a while. Enise pushed the saint in, and Yass Langley was pulled in unsteadily.
When she came back to her senses, the saint looked again, and it was an ordinary room, and Natalia was in front of it. She was comfortably cross-legged and her hands were on her knees.
"Is this really teleportation magic?" Yass Langli said and looked around again, the room didn't seem to be special, the furnishings were very ordinary, the only thing worth noting was the table next to Natalia, which glowed with blue light, "Your teleportation magic looks too scary, can't you ask the mages for advice, and you have to be held up by a knife and forced me in." β
"I apologize to you on behalf of Inise, Yass Langley, the secrets here must not be known to any mage, just as the things we are about to talk about cannot be overheard" Natalia stretched out her hand and invited her to sit down, "Welcome to the Thieves' Guild Headquarters, believe me it's safe here." β
"The Surrogate invited me, presumably the investigation has been completed, right?" Yass Langley came to the table and sat down, there was no one else but Natalia, but a magic rune was drawn in the middle of the table, which must have connected Modrella. The saint and the nightingale had almost no contact, and Yass Langli was still a little nervous in the face of the leader of the nightingale, Famera's surrogate.
"Yes" Natalia nodded, and at this time she leaned sideways, resting one elbow on the table and the other on her thigh, and her hands crossed on the chair handle, while her eyes were squinting at Yass Langley, looking very haughty "The investigation is complete." If you enter the cathedral, it will be difficult for you to have a chance to come into contact with it, so I will invite you here first. Yass Langley saw through the light that Natalia was not wearing the cloak that thieves were used to, but a robe, and her legs loomed under the robe, and if it was a man, she would definitely be tempted to look twice.
"Thank you. Yass Langley picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Natalia and herself.
"Let's get down to business. Natalia said, tapping the rune on the table, "Why haven't you said a word until now, Modelella?"
"I'm here, you say, I'm busy, I'll listen first. Modrella's voice came from the runes, and it looked like she was still busy in the guild.
"Then I'll start with that. Next, Natalia told the two of them all about what happened to Rukia during the interrogation.
"So the soul mage made Murdin no longer exist. Natalia finished all in one breath and didn't even drink water.
The scene fell silent for a while, and the unexpected truth gave both the saint and the puppet time to accept.
"I had the same look on your face when I first heard it. Picking up the teacup, Natalia took a sip, admiring Yass Langley's expression at this time.
"It's... It's actually Lola's masterpiece. Modelilah's voice was a little undulating.
"Jasmine Ella, how much do you know about Lola?" Yass Langli was really surprised, the legendary soul mage actually appeared again, and even a teacher like her should never have seen it.
"My advice is not to ask and don't study her affairs" Modrella's tone was obviously a little flustered, "I still remember the task she mentioned, it was a very bizarre event, and I didn't know that she did it at the time, Karena was the strongest adventurer in the Adventurers' Guild at that time, I sent her, but her report didn't mention this paragraph, and I didn't check out that she signed 'geis'..."
"The soul mage's methods are certainly not something we can handle. But fortunately, she has no intention of continuing to influence the current world, this is just a past agreement. Natalia soothed them.
"Then don't mention Lola, the situation in front of you is more important. Yass Langley swallowed, "The key now is Rod." Geis has sealed his former identity, but he has the holy sword in his hand and has been given the feather of Miffus, and we can't ignore it. β
Natalia agreed, "He must be pulled into the Church of the Word, Miffhis's feathers are still secondary, and having feathers is not as strong as your 'sixth', but it's just icing on the cake." But the holy sword can't be lost, and the key is that this sword secret word is also being found. β
"Secret words?" Yass Langli was stunned for a moment, she had an agreement with Z not to say it, but she didn't expect Natalia to know about it, she pretended to be surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"Secret Words commissioned us to find it, and it's a joke to rely on their necromancers and dark magicians to find it. Natalia's contemptuous expression reassured Yaslanley.
"Then you can't let go of Rode. Although Modrella's face could not be seen at this time, I could guess that her expression was definitely not kind, "I suggest reporting to the Church of the Word and letting the Church take him away, or let the Thieves' Guild control him, at least not let him wander outside like he is now." β
"Jasmine La!" Yass Langley shouted, "this is too much, it will ruin Rod's." β
"I know, that's why you didn't report it in the first place, but now that the secret words are also eyeing him, the holy sword is more important than that child. Modrella's tone was calm, and what she said was not unreasonable, and Natalia on the side also nodded.
"It's against my creed, and I refuse. Yass Langley's tone was tough.
"Is it useful for you to refuse? I'll report to the church now, can you stop me?" said Modrella, who felt like she had made up her mind.
"You!!"
"Enough. Natalia slapped the table, this is the Thieves Guild, Yass Langli, calm down, thieves don't like noisy people.
"I'm sorry. Thinking about Natalia, Yass Langley eased her emotions.
"Yass Langley, your creed..."Natalia stopped talking, she still squinted at the saint, "Frankly, is the reason why you are so protective of Rod is because after the 'Angel Incident', you don't want to continue to lose your former teammates after the sacrifice of Depp and Magister K?"
The saint was silent.
"NaΓ―ve, irrational, immature. Yass Langley, to put it more seriously, your current behavior is not worthy of the title of priesthood. Natalia spoke very harshly, her eyes staring at the saint, "You are not thinking about the church but about yourself, for your own little guilt, you are harming the interests of the church, do you understand?"
