Chapter 234: The Pursuit Fails
"She's gone missing in a tailor's shop?"
The Pope asked rhetorically as if he had not heard Moses' reply for a moment. Or that His Majesty the Pope had thought that if the strength of the demon star was extraordinary, and the Knights of Light team would return in vain, then he would send the Priest of Light to capture it...... But the Bright Knight team didn't find Liu Ci at all, and the Pope suddenly felt that his fist full of strength hit the cotton pile at this moment, and he was very disappointed.
"The Knight of Light has already verified that it is just an ordinary tailor shop in Douala City, and the owner's family has lived in Douala City for several generations, and there is no warrior or magician in the family, they are all ordinary civilians...... The captain of the knight squad has not yet found out why Liu Ci chose the tailor shop to escape, and where she fled. ”
The pope was not pleased, and the priest of Moses spoke with caution. However, His Majesty the Pope is so proficient in the emperor's mind that how could he anger his henchmen because of a trivial matter, the Pope has figured it out instead: "First let the Knight of Light withdraw from the tailor shop and go to the shadows to investigate, and at the same time blockade the city of Douala and let the black-clothed monks go to the city." Send five more teams of knights to set off, centering on the Holy Land Harbor, and investigate in all directions. Don't limit yourself to the diocese of Emst, she might even avoid the parish of Amster...... Once upon a time, one of my elders taught me that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and if she sneaks back to the Holy Land, play hide and seek with her. ”
Priest Moses took the order, and five teams of knights of light soon set out from the port of the Holy Land, and as for the black-clothed monks, only the priest Moses, who received the will of the Pope, could command them personally.
As soon as the black-clothed monk was alarmed, there was quite a rumor in the entire Holy Land Port. The newly appointed Priest of Light in the Holy Land Port, Veblen, sits in a luxurious, low-key new office, with a soaring floor that not only brightens the office, but also provides a view of the street away from the hustle and bustle.
At this time, Veblen stood by the window, watching the black-clothed monks come out of the building that they had been cultivating all year round, and they were wearing black robes walking in the white holy port, their clothes fluttering, and the robes were like ink, but it showed that something very serious was about to happen.
"I hope you all will be safe and prosperous under the light of God." It can't be said explicitly, but Veblen intuitively felt that the black-clothed monk's dispatch was due to Liu Ci's "farewell without saying goodbye". He could not say that the Holy See was wrong in its attitude towards Liu Ci, but Veblen insisted that Liu Ci was not a bad person...... Those who do evil will not have eyes as bright as the stars.
The black-clad monks lived a hard life, and any difficulty was a practice for them, and the knights of light rode fast, but they all relied on a pair of feet to walk quickly. The horses had four hooves, and they did not slow down much on their own feet, and when they galloped too fast, the corners of their black robes were swept into the air, and they looked particularly strong in black.
Soon, a dozen black-clad monks arrived in the city of Douala.
Regardless of the Light Knight, who was still spying on him, the two black-clad monks walked straight into the tailor's shop. The tailor shop owner who still had the courage to maneuver when he saw the knight of light, and the monk in black really weakened his legs and stomach.
The boss relied on the support of his family to keep him from falling, but the black-clad monk ignored him, and the two dervishes ignored it and walked into the backyard and stopped by the cellar.
The knight captain who followed up looked at the cellar and explained, "My lord, we have checked before, and there is no place to hide people in the cellar......
A monk glanced at him, and the captain only felt a chill all over his body, and the rest of the words were blocked in his throat and couldn't speak.
Another monk stretched out only two fingers and gently lifted the entire bluestone slab at the entrance to the cellar. The smell of sprouted wheat came to his face, but the monk jumped into the cellar without hearing it. kicked the bag of sprouted wheat to the side, and the bluestone slab at the cellar level was also exposed. There were a few new mud spots in the originally clean gaps between the stone slabs, and the knight captain's face changed instantly.
As if to confirm his ominous suspicions, the monk still used two fingers to reveal the yellow-brown wet soil under the slate at first.
"There are earth elemental fluctuations, and she left using earth magic." The monk nodded lightly at his companion, and the sound was like a rusty saw sawing wood intermittently, especially in the mood of the knight captain.
The monk standing on the edge of the cellar moved slightly when he heard this, "Oh, she really hides a lot of things. ”
Liu Ci had spent the night in the territory of the black-clad monks, and to be honest, their attention was on Edward at that time, and they paid very little attention to Liu Ci.
The world is unpredictable, but in half a month, Edward Wren has been captured, but they have to leave their territory to hunt down that seemingly ordinary civilian girl.
However, some of them pursued all the way, across most of the continent until the depths of the Morok Mountain Range, and killed a Demon Star suspect, who was still protected by his family and escorted by a great sword master, Liu Ci was just a civilian girl with no backup, and the black-clothed monks were not worried about not being able to complete the task.
"Let's go."
The monk jumped out of the cellar and led his companions in the direction of the aftermath of the earth elemental, until they were out of the city of Douala and stopped at the edge of the moat that had just been cleared of silt this year.
"This is it."
The earth elemental fluctuations continued from the backyard of the tailor's shop to the edge of the moat, and one of the black-clad monks quietly felt the surroundings, and rarely praised: "Very smart." ”
The rest of the monks followed his gaze, which was the sealed gate of Douala.
The lord of the city has already visited the castle tower in person, and the priests of light stationed in the city of Douala have also been alarmed, and it is difficult for even a fly to fly out of the city, and all the caravans that want to leave the city are under strict inspection.
Who would have thought that the civilian girl would not hesitate to use earth-based magic to leave the city of Douala, but return from the city gates in the open?
The rest of the monks had to agree with her companion's assessment, and she was indeed very clever.
It's just that in the Diocesan Office of Amster, since Liu Ci has lived there for a while, even one of the water cups she usually uses must be stained with her own unique breath.
It was a kind of energetic vitality, especially like an elf, but very different from the elven race. But among the vast number of beings who eat bread and milk, get sick and grow old, this kind of vitality is full of energy, the light of fireflies in the dark, and it is too conspicuous to ignore in the eyes of the black-clothed monks.
As long as they follow this breath, no clever enemy can hide.
The black-clad monks returned to the city.
In the heavily guarded city of Douala, a dozen black-clad monks walked there, and no matter how noisy it was before, it was almost instantaneously quiet.
They even passed by the tailor shop again.
The breath was endless, and even the ascetic monks were a little jealous—the vitality was long, which naturally showed that Liu Ci's physique and physical state were particularly outstanding.
They walked through sparsely populated streets and finally stopped at a noisy bazaar. Looking at the scene in front of him, even the black-clothed monks who had rare mood fluctuations could not hide their surprise.
Because the end point of the breath is one of the dirtiest and most chaotic farmers' markets in the city of Douala. There are people selling barley, people selling vegetables, deflated turkeys, lamb divided into small pieces, and fruits brought in from all over the continent...... There are also live livestock, piles of livestock manure and swarms of flies flying around in pairs.
No amount of vibrancy can resist the complex mixed smell of the farmer's market. The white soles of his shoes stepped on the yellowish leaves of the rotten vegetables, and a monk looked at him with a solemn gaze: "She knows how we track them in particular?" ”
The monks were silent, and the clue was interrupted, but they would not give up their task. Even if Liu Ci's breath was temporarily muffled by the stench of the farmer's market, when she appeared elsewhere in the city, that smell would eventually return, and they would just have to wait quietly.
The reason for Mo Ran is also quite simple, the black-clothed monks failed in the first battle, which is quite a loss of face.
The scene in the city of Douala was quickly reported to His Majesty the Pope.
The Pope was not surprised to hear that Liu Ci had first escaped from the city with earth-based magic and then returned through the city gate, but it was natural for his guess to come true.
Of course, the black-clothed monks did not capture Liu Ci in one fell swoop, and His Majesty the Pope was definitely not happy. In the dormitory of the Bright Shrine, the Pope sacrificed the mirror again.
Meditating on Liu Ci's appearance and figure in his heart, the Pope recited the incantation, and the surface of the mirror fluctuated. Those ripple-like lines spread out in circles, fluctuating for a long time, and there was still no trace of Liu Ci in the mirror.
The Pope didn't know whether to be happy or not, which meant that Liu Ci was not in the Holy Land. She was trapped in the post-martial city of Douala...... This may be clever but mistaken by cleverness, Douala City is one of the few big cities with mage towers, once martial law is imposed, Liu Ci will never have the opportunity to use magic to leave.
Under the rules of space, all elemental magic methods are confined to a very narrow scope. For example, she used to be able to use earth magic to get out of the city, but now with the same means, she can only stop at the edge of the inner wall of Douala.
When the black-clothed monks investigated one by one in the city, the Pope believed that Liu Ci could not escape.
However, he still had irrepressible anger in his heart, but he didn't know if it was because Liu Ci played the knights of light, or because he couldn't do everything as a pope.
His Majesty the Pope had only one thought at this time, and it was best for the black-clothed monks to kill Liu Ci in one fell swoop when they captured her. Brought back alive, old Mr. Connie was not willing to let her die, after all, he was the one who had taught him, and His Majesty the Pope did not want to completely turn his face with the other party.
Taking Liu Ci's body back to the Holy Land Harbor, the matter has come to this, and Old Connie will not argue with him for a dead "Demon Star Suspect", a truly perfect ending.
The Pope's attitude towards Liu Ci has changed from hoping that the other party will be obedient and obedient, to the life and death of the armed arrest, and then to the determination to put him to death, so where is Liu Ci, the target of His Majesty the Pope, hiding in the city of Douala?
