Verse 44 The beast of prey out of the cage
"Plan ahead?"
Looking at the fading images around him, Chen Yin asked, "What plan?" ”
The girl didn't answer Chen Yin, but just put the parchment in her hand aside, and I don't know what happened, and the white wall in front of her changed again......
The image of a white-bearded old man in a black robe gradually appeared on the wall.
"Daddy McCarthy!?" Chen Yin was stunned.
"Yo, hello, young man! See you here...... Why am I not surprised at all? It looks like you and ours cough cough ......," McCarthy coughed a few times.
Before McCarthy could finish speaking, the silver-haired girl's eyes suddenly changed, and the rest of the words were swallowed back unnaturally by the old guy.
"Adams, your guess is correct." The white-haired girl said.
"Of course." Daddy McCarthy smiled proudly, then turned his eyes on the girl and Chen Yin, and suddenly noticed the map in the girl's hand, "It seems that you found it?" ”
"Just a clue." The white-haired girl frowned, "You don't seem to be worried?" Do you want me to apply for support? ”
"No, I think I can handle it for the time being."
"Just those paladins?"
"It's not just the Paladin, I've got something else here...... Uh, something inconvenient to say. "McCarthy seemed mysterious.
"Have you read the report of the Hand of the Holy Judge?" The silver-haired girl didn't ask, but instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Of course."
"You've seen the Ring-Keepers' Guild too?" The silver-haired girl said, "According to a captain-level paladin named Lancelot, the directors of the Ringbearers' Guild, who have been out of business for decades, have also appeared. ”
"You mean the quasi-legendary Night Slayer? He actually showed up...... I didn't notice that. McCarthy stroked his white beard and fell into deep thought.
"And, as far as I know, he's not the only quasi-legend on the move."
The girl's words made the pensive McCarthy frown deeply.
"If there are more than 3 quasi-legends, it's a bit difficult for us to do it......" McCarthy said hesitantly, "If you ask for help now, it will probably take a long time?" ”
"20 days minimum."
"If it's an airship......
"That's what I'm talking about." Looking at McCarthy's ugly face, the girl continued expressionlessly: "But 5 days ago, I applied for an airship to come in the name of protecting my return voyage, and now all I have to do is to re-declare its use." ”
"Thank you so much, Your Highness! cough cough cough ...... Hey, it's strange, why is the signal a little bad, I'll hang up first and talk when I'm free......" McCarthy suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, and quickly pretended to cough and disconnected the communication.
Before leaving, McCarthy also raised his eyebrows covertly at Chen Yin's defense, and he didn't know what he was trying to say.
The silver-haired girl stared silently at the snow-white wall, where McCarthy had disappeared.
The girl who was called by McCarthy's father to reveal her identity was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Chen Yin: "Let's go, you and I have a lot to do." ”
"Uh......" Chen Yin scratched his chin, "that...... Map? ”
“…… Do you really want to keep tracking? The silver-haired girl raised the map in her hand, "Go on...... You're going to regret it. ”
"Huh?" Chen Yin was stunned, "Don't lie to me, you're tracking it yourself, okay?" I've just seen them all. ”
"I ...... Hehe. The girl smiled bitterly, "Forget it, you don't understand if you talk too much." Whatever you want. ”
As he spoke, he handed the map back to Chen Yin.
"Then you're not going to say it, are you?" Chen Yin asked cautiously.
"No, it won't."
"Then ......" Chen Yin had to inch in, "What do you know, why don't we exchange some information?" ”
“…… You'll know when you go. The girl didn't want to continue the topic anymore and went straight back to the "elevator".
"Wait for me." Chen Yin hurriedly followed.
The elevator slowly rose, and there was a strange silence between the two.
"You...... Must go? ”
Suddenly, the girl's voice sounded again.
"Of course."
"Okay." The girl nodded, "I'll give you limited help, and in return, you'll have to write down what you've seen and give me a copy." ”
"Yes." Chen Yin thought about it, archaeology still needs someone to sponsor this kind of thing after all, and it is his old business to deal with investors or something.
"But for the time being, I don't know where this golden city is......"
"You'll know."
The "elevator" carried the two back to the ground, and after the girl left this sentence meaningfully, she turned around and jumped off the high platform and walked out the door.
"How do you know? Feed? Don't go......"
chased until the door, but the girl never spoke.
"Forget it, I have other things to do." Looking at the girl's back, Chen Yin sighed and ran towards Little Susan's class.
When I arrived at the place, I didn't find anyone, so I inquired and heard that I was taken away by a woman. After carefully asking about the woman's appearance, Chen Yin calmed down - judging from the description, it was obvious that the one who took little Susan was Gianna.
Maybe McCarthy told Gianna something in advance, with McCarthy here, I believe they shouldn't have an accident.
Next, Chen Yin ran towards the gate of the seminary. Every time this happens, Chen Yin misses the little donkey very much. Unfortunately, the little donkey was still tethered to the inn, so he could only throw off his legs and run towards the gate.
Along the way, Chen Yin found that there seemed to be a lot of outsiders in the seminary, and several of them seemed to have conflicts, shouting and scolding each other. But I was no longer in the mood to see the excitement, and I ran past these outsiders quickly.
When Chen Yin came to the main entrance, a team of paladins was escorting a few people through the main entrance of the seminary. The one who took the lead was the priest Chen Yin had seen, and the escort they were naturally the two royal highnesses.
The paladins entered the seminary one after another, and the iron gates of the seminary were closed.
Behind them, followed by dozens of knights in black clothes and black armor riding black horses. And those black-armored knights are surrounded by an old acquaintance.
"Little Pound, I didn't expect everyone to be deceived by your father and son......" The eldest prince William turned around and looked at the leader of the black-armored knights through the iron railing.
That's right, at this time, sitting on horseback, with a 5-star card ring in his left hand, and a handsome guy with blond hair, is the one who has clashed with Chen Yin, known as the god of war "dog" Little Pound.
But at this time, seeing that he was holding a high-level card ring in his right hand and his left hand, looking forward to his majestic appearance, he could no longer connect with the cowardly, incompetent, and hysterical guy in Chen Yin's mind.
"Hehe, if I hadn't played fool for so many years, that old fox of your family would have killed me a long time ago." Little Pound smiled slightly, and narrated in a calm tone.
"How is that possible! Father and Emperor treat your father and son very well, and even canonize Duke Pound as a prince, and even the canonization ceremony is ready! It was Duke Pound himself who did not go...... That's how you repay him for his appreciation? Edmond said angrily.
"Hah, Prince? If he had gone to the canonization ceremony, he would have died long ago. Little Pound shook his head, "It's hard to blame Old Mogot for giving up directly, just the two of you...... Tsk......"
"Damn it! The people of the empire will not let you go! ”
"People!?" The corners of Little Pound's mouth curled slightly, revealing an extremely fierce smile, "People!?" Are you embarrassed to say the people!? ”
"Slaves, why did you become slaves!?" Little Pound turned and yelled at the knights behind him.
"Can't afford to pay taxes!" The knights opened their hoods first, revealing the marks of slavery on their faces.
"Why can't you pay your taxes!?"
"Church of Light!"
"What are we going to do!?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!! ”
"Look, this is your people." Little Pound turned around and looked at the two princes behind the iron bar with a mocking expression.
"Every year, 60 percent of the revenue flows into the Church of the Light, and every year it relies on the strong position of the Gospel Gold Coins, and the wealth stolen from the empire is innumerable. It's called financial ...... Right? I remember that the priest seemed to teach him that way. ”
"Not to mention the wealth plundered from the empire using technological superiority. As long as the Church of Light takes half of it every year, no one will go hungry. Take one percent less, and no one in the entire empire will be sold into slavery! ”
"The Church of Light is like a greedy leech that feeds on the flesh of the people! And you, the Mogoth family, are the faithful lackeys of this parasite! Even if you die now, no one will have mercy on you! ”
As he spoke, Little Pound yelled at the slave cavalry behind him: "You stay here, don't let anyone go!" ”
"Yes!"
"I'd like to see how long you can shrink. The Prince's ...... Soon you will enjoy what hunger is, hahahaha......" After that, little Pound actually turned off his horse and left with a few guards.
"Brother, we ......"
"Don't say it, let's go see my father first." After William finished speaking, he glanced at the priest who led the way.
"Two princes, please come here."
The two princes followed behind the priest with gloomy faces.
The group of paladins who escorted the two did not leave, but scattered on both sides of the gate, cooperating with the guards to guard the gate.
The captain of the paladin, who was led by him, walked up to Chen Yin, jumped off his horse and asked, "Your Excellency, are you okay?" ”
"Lancelot?" Chen Yin's voice was familiar.
"That's right."
"I'm fine, but I didn't expect that it was you who just appeared in the palace." Chen Yin suddenly had the feeling of seeing an acquaintance on TV.
"Uh......"
"Forget it, don't worry, do you have any news of Gianna and little Susan?"
"They're fine, McCarthy has told them to pack their things and should stay with McCarthy at the Cathedral of the Light." Lancelot pointed to the east side of the seminary, "They have been looking for you before, but unfortunately they haven't found the dormitory and classrooms, so they went to the cathedral to take refuge first." ”
"That'...... What about Aunt Gia and Uncle Tim? ”
Lancelot shook his head: "Gia doesn't know what she's up to, she can't even find her, and Tim I went to the blacksmith shop and couldn't find him." ”
"Have you been to the hotel?"
"No, it's too late......"
"I see." After speaking, Chen Yin turned around and left.
"Your Excellency! You ......"
"I'll go to the inn."
"But ......"
"It's okay! I'm not a member of the royal family, and Pound and his son won't do anything to me! With that, Chen Yin had already run away.
Lancelot couldn't leave, so he could only sigh and say in a voice that only he could hear: "I'm not worried about those big people......
……
The equipment for climbing over the wall last night was still on his body, and Chen Yin went directly to the place where he often climbed over the wall, and quickly climbed over the courtyard wall with his flying claws.
In just one morning, it seemed that the people of the entire imperial capital smelled an ominous atmosphere, and the originally busy streets suddenly disappeared, and the shops on the street were closed one by one.
Walking through the familiar streets, just as Chen Yin was about to arrive at the hotel, he suddenly heard bursts of crying.
"No...... Please! I'm really not ......."
"Maggots that suck the flesh and blood of the people, go and die!"
"Ahh
"I, I'm not a priest, I'm just a businessman......"
"Profiteers deserve to die!"
"Ahh
Listen to the sound, the screams are coming from the direction of the hotel. Chen Yin couldn't help but feel nervous, and rushed over a low wall in the direction of the main entrance of the hotel......
Suddenly, an iron hoop-like hand grabbed Chen Yin's wrist.
After being trained by Uncle Tim for so long, counterattacking has become Chen Yin's instinct, and the moment his left hand was caught, his right hand had already taken out the long sword and stabbed it behind him!
The other big hand grabbed Chen Yin's wrist holding the sword again, as if he had already known Chen Yin's reaction.
"Shh
"Don't be silent, it's me."
Uncle Tim's voice sounded behind Chen Yin.
"Are you alright? Hey, why are you here? Chen Yin looked back, and sure enough, it was Uncle Tim, who leaned into his ear and whispered.
"The shop is closed, and I'll be back."
"Have you seen Aunt Jiya?"
"Just saw, she's trapped in a hotel."
"Is she alright?"
“…… She was dressed in a priest's uniform. Uncle Tim hesitated.
Among the people who have just been slaughtered, there is a guy who is suspected of being a priest, and you can imagine the current situation of Aunt Jiya.
Chen Yin asked, "What about ...... Shall we save her? ”
"No, wait."
Just as the two were whispering, the screams in the direction of the inn had gradually subsided.
"Wow! Look! This guy's vest is full of gold coins! I said why is it so heavy! ”
"Mine! Don't rob it! It's mine! I found it! ”
"I saw it first!"
"The merchant I killed!"
"I'll hold him!"
"Don't make any noise, those who see it have a share!"
“……”
Hearing this, Chen Yin's face couldn't help but have a hint of ridicule.
Chaos will naturally awaken the most primitive desires. When a person is dominated by primitive desires, then he is no longer a human being, but a beast in human skin.
The Imperial God of War personally released the beast in people's hearts...... I just don't know if he still has the ability to put this beast back in a cage.
"Hey! What do you think! Uncle Tim tugged at Chen Yin's arm.
"Huh?"
"While they're distracted, get ready."
"Okay."
"I'm counting three-two-one, three, two, one!!"
As soon as the words fell, two figures jumped out of the corner, and without saying a word, rushed to the soldiers in the spoils. At the same time, an agile figure jumped from the second floor, its spandextrous plunging into the heart of a soldier.
A dozen soldiers were as defenseless as they had slaughtered the guests of the inn, and they were cut to the ground as if they were chopping melons and vegetables.
