Chapter 182: Clarification

Following the instructions of the Bronze Coin Emissary, he unfastened the ring neck armor of Fenrir's avatar and took off the helmet with the characteristics of the ferocious wolf, unsurprisingly revealing the face of Burgtha Daywalker, Aldrich pounced on a bucket of cold water.

"Boom", the icy thorn fury caused the companion of the Night Watchman who had fallen into a coma to instantly regain consciousness, and his hands clenched into fists to the ground, and he stood up violently with the help of this recoil force.

Gently lowering the barrel, Tris handed over a new towel, and Baron Federi's second son lowered his guarded fist and carefully took it, wiping the water from his face and wrapping his hair to suck up the remaining ice water.

When he wanted to raise his hand a little higher, he found that the soreness in his shoulder area instantly swelled up, and continued to affect the coordination of his hands, and he couldn't help but glare at Aldrich, but the fourth knight didn't care at all, as if he had solved an inconspicuous trivial matter, and was talking to the chief priest.

But in the eyes of Anel Jones, it was the chief priest Pragg who questioned a recent mystery in the docklands.

The leaders of two less established but very dynamic union organizations that clean up the silted up of the river and serve the town hall are suddenly missing, and the most immediate suspicion is none other than Aldrich Triss, a potential boss in the docklands who is standing in the hallroom attached to the temple.

"Oldman, the leader of the raft guild specializing in sand mining, and Garba, the leader of the snail shell guild that clears the silt and dredges the silted river, adopted a strategy of competing to increase the price of the order for the dredging of the Deer Sand River under the scavengers' union, and it was not long before the two disappeared completely, and the order fell into the hands of a third party. Lord Tris, not only the Docklands gang, but we have also heard that the whereabouts of Oldman and Galba are unknown, and they have a deep relationship with you. ”

Aldridge smiled in surprise, his eyes looked directly at the chief priest of the temple, and when he saw that the other man's eyes did not waver, he turned to the bronze coin messenger Anil Jones, and the Emerald Eye did not dodge Tris's somewhat offensive stare.

"This is the level of the temple's standards, and I was really surprised! I had no real credentials, and I was able to believe the rumors I had heard from unknown sources, and confronted me in person. Am I the suspect? I am very suspicious of your minds, have no subjective judgment, and my intelligence is reduced to the level of a civilian who listens to the wind and rain. ”

The chief priest Pragg was a little angry, but he still put aside his superfluous emotions, took a step forward, and continued to ask aggressively: "Did you do the disappearance of the two of them?"

Undeterred, Tris pushed back, "I didn't do it!" he held up his right hand, "I swear by the source of my faith, and the two guild leaders who took advantage of the opportunity to raise the price were stupid and greedy, but I had no reason to do it. ”

The bronze coin messenger placed his left hand behind his back and turned in front of him, a white ball of light the size of a grape, continuously emitting a bright but not dazzling fluorescence, "He didn't lie, it's all true." ”

The chief priest's face was much better, and no one could lie without being seen in the shadow of a lie, and since Aldrich had not killed the two gang leaders, the plan to go to Middle-earth could go ahead.

"Wait a minute!" "Now it was Tris's turn to frenzy, "I didn't want to pay attention to the whereabouts of Oldman of the Raft and Galba of the Snail Shell, but since even you have been affected by the rumors, it seems that there is someone behind it, and it is very consistent with my speculation. ”

"What's going on?" Anielle Jones suddenly felt a burst of cold and piercing malice, and it was clear that the truth of the matter was about to surface, and it would be a shocking reversal.

"The two of them...... First of all, very important, they are not dead!Second, Oldman of the raft and Galba of the snail shell are not missing persons, they have just been taken away by some big man in the underworld, and they are properly protected in the secret rooms of the sewers that my discerning eye can see. ”

"As for whether it was coercion and persuasion, taking the initiative to follow the rhythm of the big guy's baton, or directly knocking out and kidnapping, I don't know for the time being, if you need to, I can save the two of them at any time. ”

"But it's a pity that after the raft and the snail shell lost their leader, in order to fight for the only vacant seat, the interior fell into an unsightly chaotic fight, for the order of the dock area, I taught them a hard lesson, most of the backbone lay in the hospital bed to recuperate, all business and daily operating income have stopped, it is estimated that no one wants to take over the mess now. ”

"Ruthless!" Prager's mood was extremely complicated, after all, the Fourth Knight had not lied from beginning to end, and the temple's evaluation of him had to start over.

The bronze coin messenger saw the vacillating attitude of the chief priest, and was obviously moved by Tris's words, and immediately interjected: "Then what happened before, you just returned from Beihai, and the leaders of several large gangs in the dock area died violently? After all, the scavenger is the biggest beneficiary. ”

"Ms. Jones, Ms. Anille Jones, Ms. Anillle Jones, what you said is still a rumor heard from someone else's mouth, is there any evidence?

The two high-ranking members of the temple looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't find a way to refute it, after all, they didn't have anything on hand, and they had made all the low-level mistakes that were disgraceful.

Aldridge turned his head to look at Burgtha in the armor of the fierce wolf, both of them were from the Night Watchman, even if he was used by the temple against himself, he had to take into account the position that they were both from the family of the city founder.

"The biggest beneficiary is not the Scavenger Guild, but several medium-sized gangs whose territory and power have reached a bottleneck, and with the help of the news of my return, I paid to anonymously hire Mr. Purple Raven in the underworld, a cursed warlock who is good at making and using highly poisonous potions, and the relevant clues are recorded in the Dark Police Department. Because it was an infighting between the gangs, the big guys didn't care, but I kept all the secret accounts on my back, and sooner or later I had to get them back. ”

"As a knight on the path of virtue, I believe that you will not kill for an unintentional offense. ”

Prager could only reveal the embarrassment with a soft attitude, and he also counted on Aldrich Tris, whose potential was not bottomless, to go to Middle-earth to clean up the scattered Knights of the Lucky Gold Coins.

Now that the other party has already conceded defeat, there is no need for the Fourth Knight to chase and fight fiercely, and tear off the bond that has become as fragile as spider silk, "The affairs of the territory, the union, the allies, etc., are properly handled, and according to the general concept of time and efficiency in the workshop area, we still set off for the destination as soon as possible." ”

The chief priest nodded slightly, lifted his cane and quickly regained his composure: "The Bronze Coin Messenger will guide the way, hoping that the Fourth Knight can protect her safety." ”

Aldridge hadn't yet made his statement clear, and Burgetta Vane Federi, dressed in Fenrir's incarnation, jumped to his feet, "Take me with you on this long trip to Middle-earth." ”

"We are not going out to the villages and towns outside the city, with bright sunshine, clean and tidy cloths, and sumptuous but not extravagant meals, but the flames of war caused by the Orcs of Bimon are burning to the border of Middle-earth, and all kinds of unpredictable dangers may arise on the way. And pay attention to your identity, the second son of Baron Federi's family, isn't it enough to stay in the Night Watchman?"

"I know I'm no match for you now, but when I tap into the potential of this magical armor, I'll be able to defeat you sooner or later, Lord Baron of the Triss family!"

Aldridge was secretly surprised by the resoluteness in Bogta's eyes, and he pondered for a moment, suddenly remembering his experience of going to the North Sea to reap the merits of war, "Sign a contract of life and death, indicating terms that have nothing to do with me, so that I can take you with confidence." ”

"I'm ready!" Baron Federi's second son reached through the gap in his armor into the inner pocket of his coat, carefully took out a well-preserved piece of folding paper, slowly spread it out and displayed it in front of Tris.

"Bang bang bang...... Somehow, I finally won you once. Lord Baron Triss, look in the mirror at the look on your face. Now it's one to one, a tie!"

Aldrich was indeed slightly surprised by the means that Burgetta had planned and secretly arranged, but if he was not able to satisfy his competitive spirit with the method of mental victory, he despised the second son of Baron Federi.

Prager immediately saw that the appreciation and approval in Tris's eyes were fading, and he couldn't help coughing, which was a slight cooling of Burgta, who was carried away by the victory.

"Oops! The joke went too far. The second son of Baron Federi put away the contract with a sneer, and originally wanted to hand it over to the chief priest, but when he saw him shaking his head slightly, he immediately understood and stuffed it back into its place for preservation.

Anil Jones, the coin messenger, also saw that the atmosphere was in an embarrassing stalemate, and hurriedly shouted to signal that the carriage was ready.

"Hayek the dark horse is more suitable for you, but it is too conspicuous, our trip is a secret trip, it is better to keep a low profile. ”

Burgtha, who had not yet taken off in Fenrir's incarnation, could say such insightful words, and Aldridge glanced sideways at the Night Watchman's companion who was standing side by side, and he immediately stepped back half a step to show respect for the Grand Knight of Virtue.

A plain carriage similar to that of the town hall drove out of the temple, and in the carriage the curtains were closed to the airtight, and in the carriage sat Aldrich Triss, Anel Jones, and Burgetta Vane Federi.

Watching the carriage drift away along the avenue and merge into the bustling crowd, Chief Priest Prager closed his eyes and sent spiritual words to his friends in the temple to this day.

"The team has set off, the jade leads the way, the wolf follows, and the eagle is still in the sky. ”

"Understood!"

How powerful the temple is, from the constant change of carts along the way to keep moving at full speed, it can be seen that all over the major cities of the Westeste continent, whether it is the territory of the Western Turkish Customs Union, or the countries of Middle-earth, there are closely related stations to provide all kinds of help within their ability.

"We became a valuable parcel that was passed down from hand to destination through the hands of different postmen. Ten days in a row, Bogta, who had suffered from the life of the carriage, couldn't help but complain.

Emerald Eye Anille Jones also has a little temper caused by lack of sleep, and the only one who doesn't have any discomfort is Aldrich Tris, after all, he is the only great knight who can keep up with the speed of a horse on foot, and magically seems to be flying.

After a day and night journey, the trio finally arrived at the northern border of Middle-earth, and the stricter checks than usual were somewhat offensive to Anelle Jones, who was a lady, but she could only acquiesce to the personal checks for the sake of the mission.

After passing the customs and walking for most of the day, the brand-new carriage that had just been changed not long ago was contaminated with the dust raised on the road and was a little dirty, because the late autumn was over, the old driver of the car wrapped his legs with thick fur, perhaps aware of the change in the weather, in order to prevent occupational diseases to protect himself as much as possible.

Leaving the avenue and turning onto the path, the ground is very flat, Aldrich is estimated to be part of a purpose-built national road project.

The countries of Middle-earth, especially Fryan, are mostly fertile plains, with rolling mountains as their borders, like natural barriers, especially the various fortresses located on the southern border, which have been engaged with the Beamon orcs.

The orc slaves who had never had an opponent in the siege of the city belonged to the legion, and the undead vampires who were masters did not hand over the siege equipment to them, so they could only break through in other directions by touching the ground in front of the impregnable fortress.

"The Knights of the Sun all went out, and under the command of Vlad, the Sun King, launched a group charge with heavy equipment wrapped in men and horses, and crushed the undisciplined and undisciplined Orc Legion in just one shot. Judging by the results so far, Fryan does not need to enter a wartime state at all. ”

The head of the Lucky Gold Coin Residence, a pre-priest who belonged to the upper gold class in the temple, seemed to be familiar with the Bronze Coin Emissary, and Anill Jones had just gotten off the bus and began to introduce the current situation of the Fryan Kingdom on his own.

"Ms. Jones, this is the temple's floatship?"

The three-hundred-meter-long hull cast a shadow over the small valley, such a magnificent mechanical creation should not have appeared, but was reawakened by the desire of mortals, and the bottom of the long river of time surfaced.

Triss was slightly surprised to see that the cigar-shaped hull was inconspicuous, and the spindle-shaped floating air sac was a little surprising, but it was aerodynamic enough to reduce obstacles.

As for the two wings of the floating ship, not to mention the difference between them and the dragon, its core device and power source are simply like a nest where atmospheric elemental spirits gather together.
