Chapter 308 Night Exploration of the Cathedral

The architecture of the upper town is very different from that of the lower town.

The lower town is typical of the kingdom – round roofs, tall towers, and then all sorts of military and civilian installations, all of which have in common a very plain and unobtrusive appearance.

The Upper Town is different, where all sorts of strange buildings can be seen, and the aristocracy seems to like to use it as a way to show their status, the local architecture is almost completely invisible, most of the mansions are full of exotic atmosphere, and Xia even saw a crude courtyard made of thick wood, which seems to be a trend.

"It seems that as on Earth, everyone thinks that what's out there is the best."

She vomited in her heart as she approached the brightly lit cathedral in the center.

No one has planted moonshine flowers in this place, white roses are everywhere, and the air is filled with a charming fragrance.

"There's something wrong with the scent."

After smelling this aroma, Xia felt a little dazed in his mind, and the magnificent church in front of him became more and more sacred and solemn, which made people have a desire to worship from the bottom of their hearts.

"With such an obvious trick to trick people, the kingdom doesn't care about it?"

She avoided the three directions where the white rose bloomed the most, and climbed up from the back of the church under the guidance of the little loli in black.

"Where's Klein?"

Coming to a protruding window, Xia didn't rush in, but hung down below and asked.

"Far away, master, even if he comes at full speed, it will take a while, and his perception range must be much smaller than mine."

The little Lori in black went into the room:

"As long as you don't cast large spells, or use powerful skills, he won't find out even if you turn this place upside down...... This room is so big. ”

When she came out of it, she took out a statue made of pure gold from her skirt, and said happily:

"Master, this thing can be sold for a lot of money."

Xia had already told her beforehand that she could take whatever was in this church, anyway, she would leave neither fingerprints nor footprints, and the image regression spell would not work on the fragment of the god at all, and she would only see that the thing suddenly disappeared.

"Take it, but don't take anything too obvious, like the Cross of Light; That kind of thing is not easy to sell, and it is easy to get into trouble. ”

In a place like the royal capital, there are people who are proficient in various skills, and there are also types of divine arts in the order that can go back to images, but this kind of divine magic is often only used by the top powerhouses, and it is very expensive.

As long as the little Lori in black doesn't tear down the big cross that shines with holy light above the church, no one will be idle to deal with some trivial matters of property theft, unless you steal his house without a long eye.

"The rooms around here are empty, master, you can come in."

She put the statue away and went in and searched for it.

Maybe it's because few people dare to attack the idea of the cathedral, and it's not a particularly important place, and the precautions are relatively lax, and even the windows are open, so Xia easily climbed in.

"Don't just pick up things, look elsewhere, and it's best to find the high-ranking people of the Order and hear what they have to say."

Natsu called the black-clad little Lori, who was stuffing a string of decorative silver chains into her skirt, to the window, and asked her to find a suitable object within her visual range.

"Is there anyone else in this besides Klein?"

After a while, she felt that it was almost over, and Natsu asked her.

"With that bad priest, there are three breaths above five turns, but none of them are in the church at this time; One is in the tower to the northwest, the other is in the basement to the east, and the Bad Father is in the garden at the forefront. ”

The little Lori in black told the information she had detected.

"Then it's okay, I'll go and take a look around."

Xia herself is a LV600+ Great Magister, and it is naturally easy to deal with some detection circles and warning traps, even if some spell prohibitions are too strong to be unlocked, she only needs to bypass them far away.

"I don't want to be like Stephanie who is carrying things around, adding weight for no reason and making unnecessary noises."

She decided to search around the area.

"Well, it's a whole column carved out of lapis lazuli."

"What is this, diamonds...... Ao, it's the star stone. ”

"This sword looks so sharp."

Natsu found an ornate longsword on the wall, and after confirming that there were no traps, he pulled it out, and then slashed at the blade with the Dagger of Godfall.

Then I was disappointed to find that this thing just looked beautiful, and the sharpness was not as sharp as the black long knife, and the blade was about to break with a slight stroke.

She put the sword back away, turned to the back window, and silently flipped out, hanging from the edge of the window and moving to another room.

"These rooms look like ordinary clergy live, and there are no valuable clues in them, so let's go to the east and have a look."

The little Lori in black has been keeping a distance from her and searching, reporting to her the movements of the three people at any time, so she is relieved to boldly walk to a place where there are people.

With her current stealth level, as long as the other party is not a fifth-turn profession or is very good at detecting stealth units, she can sneak past the other party unconsciously, and even secretly lift the skirt of the beautiful goddess.

Of course, someone wouldn't do that, for those cute girls, she has always liked to bully them openly!

But counting the past history, in fact, she has been bullied a lot...... It was only recently that I turned over twice.

"This room doesn't give me a good feeling, so don't go in."

She stood in front of a gloomy room and decided to let the little Lori in black scout the place later.

All the corridors in the cathedral are brightly lit and bright as day, only here are the black lights, and you can feel the gust of wind through the cracks in the doors, which is probably not a good place.

"Click."

She carefully opened a closed window with her dagger and came to a small room in the far east.

"This is the storage room?"

A room full of various exquisite chests and parcels appeared in front of him, without the slightest fluctuation of divine magic, and it seemed that it was used to store gifts.

"There are a lot of boxes, open one and take a look."

By the way, she found a gorgeously packaged box and opened it, and inside it was actually a necklace with colorful lights, which was worth a lot of money at first glance.

"I'm afraid this thing costs more than 10,000 magic crystals, and it's just an ordinary gem, it has no special functions at all, who gave it away so generously."

"A knife for women's self-defense, it seems that the object of these people's gifts is a woman."

"The spices produced in the Western Continent have too strong taste."

"Wow, what a thin gauze coat, wouldn't you be able to see everything when you wear it as a pajama? The person who sent this thing must have had impure motives. ”

Xia Shun stuffed the fluttering gauze into his bag.

She wouldn't wear it herself, but she could wear it for Nana and Wendy...... Hey, hey, hey.

"What is this?"

She noticed something was wrong inside a small box.

"This is supposed to be a vicious attack device, specifically designed for assassination."

After a closer look at the appearance and structure, she came to a conclusion:

"There's either a needle with a poison quenched inside, or a splatter-type poisonous mist."

Putting the small box aside, she found something dangerous as she flipped through the gifts, including a magic bomb.

"It seems that the person who received the gift has many enemies, and there are some of these enemies who are not very good at using their brains, and they are used to assassinate them during this period."

She dropped a delicate-looking magic bomb and decided to take it with her, something powerful that would come in handy.

"Hey, there's a snake here."

Natsu suddenly saw a small yellow snake entrenched in a large cabinet.

This little snake did not show a wary look when it saw a person like other snakes, but lay there quietly, quietly spitting out a letter, and looking at this side with a pair of shining eyes.

"Why is there a dark fluctuation on this snake, and I didn't notice it when I came in just now."

She felt a demon-like aura in the little yellow snake, you must know that this is the central cathedral of the royal capital!

"Maybe it has something to do with the owners of these assassination gifts."

She glanced at the malicious gifts and made a guess in her mind.

"Run, so fast!"

The snake suddenly shot like an arrow to the ground in the blink of an eye, burrowing through the crack in the door.

"Do you want to kill it? I always feel that this guy looks very uncomfortable. ”

Xia thought about it, and finally put away the dagger that had been pulled out.

The snake's whereabouts are very secretive, and they are good at moving in all kinds of corners and crevices, although if you follow it carefully, you can definitely catch up, but there is a high chance that it will alarm the people here.

"Forget it, maybe this snake is also here to make trouble in the church."

After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to leave the snake alone and continue exploring the room.

"It's so dirty, how can there be such a thing in a gift?"

Before leaving, she roughly rummaged through the gift boxes piled up into a small mountain, and saw a dilapidated machine in a transparent square box at the bottom.

The machine was the size of a melon, covered in rust, and covered in disgusting spots, but the box in which it was contained was beautiful and generous, looking like a transparent crystal, shining a little in the dark.

"The transparent luminous box, which is a famous product in the north, is actually used to hold such a dirty thing."

Xia looked at it for a while, and suddenly thought of what the black-clothed little Lori said:

It is said that the royal family also gave them a gift, a mysterious machine excavated from the ruins.

"This is where the Order stores its gifts?"

She carefully opened the box and scraped the spots on it with her dagger, discovering that those spots were a hard mineral, and if it weren't for the Fallen Dagger's unusual sharpness, I am afraid it would not have been able to scratch it.

"Stephanie said this can be activated without magic or electricity, why don't you try it?"

Natsu walked to the window and opened the hidden window, ready to escape at any time.

Then I walked in front of the machine, squatted there and tinkered for a while, and successfully started it.

Eleven small lights flashed on the shell of the machine, one on and one on and one on dim in clockwise order, and it should have entered the standby state.

"Stephanie, if there's nothing heavy to find over there, come back and get something first."

She didn't see what kind of energy this machine used, and she knew that this thing was not simple, so she had the idea of taking it away.

"Here comes the master!"

The little Lori in black hurriedly flew back, she knew that the owner should have found something good.

"Take all but these ones!"

Natsu tossed aside the potentially dangerous gifts and unceremoniously instructed her to pack all the gifts on the ground into her skirt, including the odd machine.

But fortunately, the machine is not big, otherwise it wouldn't have been stuffed into it at all, so I had to give up, after all, they came here to do business, and they just did it easily.

"Go ahead, keep inquiring about the news, and I'll take a look at the south."

After sending the black-clothed little Lori away, Xia launched a sneak run all the way to the south side.

From the outside of the church, you can see that the windows in this area are far apart, and the rooms should be very few, and the inside is mostly where important people stay.

However, the row of windows was closed, with a faint yellow light on them, apparently protected by magic, and she could only walk through the corridor.

"There are so many beautiful maids...... This must be the place where a bad guy with a fat brain lives. ”

Natsu slipped past the coolly dressed maids, looking at the thighs that were swaying in front of the tip of his nose, and thought indignantly.

"It's strange, it's such a luxurious place, and there are not a few guards."

While secretly wondering, she skillfully unlocked the door with a dagger and dodged into a room.

It was a large and large room, and when you entered the door, you could see a large bed with a veil that seemed to be sleeping inside.

"Damn it, even the bed is so extravagant."

She slipped quietly to the table where many items were placed, and when she glanced over it, she found that there were many spell books stacked on the table, including darkness, elementals, and a few books that recorded the magic of radiance.

The breath of the man on the bed was not strong, so she boldly took a dark magic book and read it.

After obtaining the hidden class of the Ghost Mage in the Elven Secret Realm, she began to have some interest in dark magic, plus the later stage of the main quest is to go to the abyss of hell, it is still very useful to learn some spells of the hell race.

"What a profound theory of magic."

Xia looked at the analysis and practical application of various spells in this book, and felt that his trip was not in vain.

"But this is a cathedral, how can anyone learn dark spells?"

She put the book away and decided to take it back and study it.

As for the elemental magic books and magic books on the table, she flipped them over twice and put them back where they were, they were far less valuable than the dark magic books.

At this moment, the person on the bed suddenly turned over.

Xia was shocked and hurriedly found a place to hide.

"Hey, this guy seems to be a woman."

Through the veil, she faintly saw a graceful leg. R1152
