Chapter 18: The Erosion of Darkness (2)
The time goes back to three days ago.
"Vice Captain Dacora, what are you doing?"
In the financial room of the arrest team, Duck bent over, stopped his hand that was rummaging through the drawers, and looked at Woods and the other team members very embarrassed: "Ah, this ......"
The accountant on the side was a powerless clerical officer, and he shrank and said, "This, this, this is none of my business......
Vanessa and Fernandez are imprisoned, much to the consternation of the arresting team.
The squads didn't need evidence to catch someone, and now, the flame golem alone could determine that there was something wrong with the Satama Glass Factory. It is completely possible to arrest Lubik and interrogate him, and then enter Fernandez mode, and the rest is smooth sailing, one thing is done, and everyone is happy.
However, the captain and all the members of the team who were directly involved in the operation were arrested.
No one expected that the Holy See would actually stand with heretics!
"That Trisson must have been at odds with Father Fernandez, and Magnum must have a ghost!"
"But to be deceived is to be blinded, let's think about what we should do—will the heretics let us go?"
"Perhaps, an order will be issued to investigate us soon. ”
"That'...... So what should I do? Escape?"
Woods was more composed: "It's better to look at the situation first, if they are convicted of 'abuse of power' and 'damage to property', it is not a big problem - besides, there is also Deputy Captain Dacora, listen to his opinion......"
With a bang, one of the team members slammed open the door and shouted angrily: "Oh no, that Dacora has run to the finance room!
"What?!"
A group of people were immediately furious, and rushed to the finance room with great momentum, just in time to catch Duck who was rummaging through the drawers.
Duck shrugged, "I didn't expect you to come so quickly." ”
Some team members sneered: "Why, the captain just went in, and you, the vice captain, are going to get back the capital?"
Dark's position as the deputy captain was bought out of his own pocket, and now that the arrest team is about to fall apart, it is not surprising that they will use some means to return to their capital.
Darker smiled and pushed out a piece of paper: "See, the official letter I just received from my superiors wants to cancel our arrest team, and your establishment must also be canceled, from tomorrow we will all be civilians." ”
The team members were dumbfounded.
Duck said, "The worst thing is me! I spent so much money to buy the shortest-lived vice-captain in the history of the church!" He sighed helplessly, "Who are you going to reason with?" Okay, everyone, don't delay. I'm going to rent a carriage and go to Fartigan, and from there I'll change cars and flee to the kingdom of Doland. ”
As he spoke, he began to scour the corners of the drawer again, leaving not even a single copper.
His shameless behavior immediately attracted a lot of condemnation. But he was unmoved, and buried himself in hard work.
In the midst of the chaos, Woods suddenly said, "Do you need our help?"
All voices fell silent, and everyone looked at Woods in a daze.
"Now the situation is so dangerous, we have lost our legal official status, and even if we are not arrested, we will be divided and conquered by heresy, and if you are a greedy person for money, you will not risk your life to come back and loot, but will quietly walk away, let alone give us an escape route. ”
Duck smiled, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you after I escape." ”
"But it's so unfair to you, how are we going to repay you?"
"Say kind words, I'm also for myself. ”
The back and forth conversation between the two made everyone dizzy, and someone asked, "What are you talking about?"
Duck said, "Everyone, time is precious, I'll make a long story short. All the props for this operation were provided and sponsored by me, and the arrest team has been torn to pieces and cannot pose a threat to the heretics, so for the heretics, in addition to guaranteeing their evil plans, what they want most must be my skills. ”
Everyone nodded. Duck continued, "I think Dean Trisson was just being used, and his hatred of the Inquisition was channeled into Father Fernandez, the sword in the hands of the heretics, and that Magnum was a degenerate and hypocrite in collusion with the heretics. Now the situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable to us, and if we don't launch a decisive counterattack, we will all be dead. ”
"How to fight back?"
"We are too weak and must distract the enemy. As soon as I escape, the eyes of the heretics will be focused on me. They will think that I have seen through their intentions, and will not stay and die, and will abandon you and abscond alone. Then, their vigilance will definitely be lowered, and as soon as the time comes, you will act decisively and seize the decisive evidence in one fell swoop!"
The team members looked at each other, and someone couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"
"Of course I'll deal with them, but I can't do it, I can just be arrested, and then it's time to boil the torture. ”
"How can this work?"
"What's not to do? Maybe you're moving fast enough to take down the heretic's nest before I'm caught. ”
"Impossible, Captain Vanessa is not here, our combat effectiveness ......"
"I've thought about it. Heresy uses the power of the Holy Religion against us, and we can also use the power of heresy to fight heresy. Which of you will play the flying carpet, totem poles, and individual combat systems? Look, look, if you don't learn anything, you won't be able to fight heretics in any way? You people, all go to the Yi workshop, and my wife will arrange everything. From now on, everyone is fully concentrated and no solo action is allowed. Until a decisive victory is achieved. ”
Woods said, "What about you?"
"Of course, I'm going to run now!"
"Be sure to return victorious!"
Duck laughed, "I'll try my best." ”
"Teammates, let's pray for this brave fugitive!"
An hour later, amid the prayers of the crowd, the fugitive Duck embarks on a desperate escape, while the only remaining five members of the team, including Woods, arrive at Dayi's workshop and find Isabella.
Woods, as the temporary captain designated by Dark's departure, spoke first: "Hello, Lady Elizabeth, we have been commissioned by Vice-Captain Dacora to ......"
Isabella smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a slit: "Welcome, welcome, he told me when he left, please come in." ”
"I'm sorry that we're going to have to stay with you for a while this time, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience. ”
"You're welcome, in order to fight the heretics, we have to learn some heretical methods, will you feel embarrassed?"
"There is no way to do this, otherwise we will not be able to clear the injustice of the captain and us. The vice-captain is right, heretics can use the means of the Holy Sect to rectify us, and we can also use their tricks to clean them up, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
"Great, please go this way. ”
"Yes, then madam, how do we get started, should we first familiarize ourselves with weapons and spells, or should we first theorize...... Uh, it's-"
In the center of the wide basement is a strange alchemy machine, extending a large pile of wires of various colors. The wires are connected to the backs of the six chairs.
Isabella pulled out a glass fish bowl and smiled, "Everyone, please put it on your head like me." Welcome to the training ground in Dacora!"
