Chapter 297: Infiltration
Chapter 297: Infiltration
As the sun sets, the crimson glow continues. In the most glorious afterglow of the sunset, the majestic steel city is bathed in deep glory. It seems that there is no premonition of the upcoming earth-shattering battle, and the defense of the City of Glory is still as calm as ever. The city guards patrolled the city walls unhurriedly, and the flow of people and vehicles coming and going at the city gates was generally smooth. There is no urgency at all.
Far away, a shadow slowly drifted by. But instead of entering the City of Glory directly, it stopped in the shadow of a large tree. Staring coldly at the behemoth beast in the distance, calm as a mountain, turbulent as the sea, incomparably majestic, even if Aaron has no good impression of it, he can't help but praise it, even if it is the imperial capital of Alagon. That's it!
While admiring in my heart, I was also slightly excited. After more than a week of running around and twice the distance, this final destination has finally arrived. He did not rush into the city, but remained motionless in the shadows of the trees, observing the City of Glory.
As the capital of the Empire of Light, the City of Glory is not only a bustling central city, but also a giant military fortress, and it also houses the Iliad Cathedral, the holiest of the Holy See of Light.
The Iliad Cathedral is the largest church of the Holy See of Light, as the direct temple of the Lord God of Light, a sacred place that has sent down miracles several times, and its status in the Holy See of Light is probably only the St. Peter's Basilica at the headquarters of the Holy See above it. What is hidden in such a sacred place, even Edward IX can't figure it out!
Looking through the huge city wall nearly twenty meters high, and falling on the magnificent building that towered into the sky in the distance and faintly exuded majestic holy power, Aaron's eyes shrank slightly, but his spiritual power did not follow.
This must be the Iliad Cathedral!, he sighed to himself.
According to the Order's intelligence materials, the Eliad Cathedral is a more mysterious and sinister location than the Minoan Palace of the Empire of Light, and Aaron is not prepared to provoke it, whether necessary or not.
The sun finally set unwillingly, and the sky suddenly darkened. A shadow slowly approached the avenue leading to the city gate, and a magnificent carriage came by, and the shadow flickered, through the gap between the planks, and gently squeezed into the carriage, and then hovered in the shadows, motionless.
Aaron retracted his breath and spiritual power, and gradually, the carriage approached the city gate. Obviously, the owner of the carriage was a man of status, and even though it was already evening, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not examine them in detail, but just glanced at the coachman's family emblem and opened the city gate.
As the carriage slowly moved forward in this strange city, the air was filled with a strong aura of holy power, which made Aaron, who had inherited the Blood Monarch, feel slightly uncomfortable in his heart, it was really not a good place!
On the corner of a street, the shadow squeezed out the carriage deftly and disappeared silently into the gloom of the City of Glory.
Justin Merchant Group Office of the Bright Empire.
After a busy day's work, the fat George had a good rest outside, and then returned to his residence unhurriedly with his good-looking concubine. Habitually, George's gaze looked down at a flower pot placed on the windowsill, and his gaze froze for a moment, and then immediately returned to nature.
The fat big hand slapped heavily on the plump ass of the old man, and the fat man laughed lewdly: "Baby, let's go wash first, I'll go get something good, I'll surprise you later!"
The old good-natured eyes lit up, and every time the fat man talked about surprises, he would not only satisfy her physically, but also give away extremely precious things. With a gasp, the old rosy lips pursed George's fat face, and then obediently rushed into the bathroom.
There was a sound of rushing water, and there was a soft moan of the temptation of the old man in the sound of the water, and the fat man scolded secretly, and walked towards a room without moving. Gently pushing the door open, and carefully closing the door behind the back, there was no light, and the room was pitch black.
With no intention of lighting the candle at all, the fat man sat down on a chair familiarly, and with a few rhythmic taps of his fingers on the table, a black shadow suddenly rose.
"I need Vivien's latest information!" the indifferent voice did not have the slightest nonsense, and at the same time as the voice, an emerald green magic crystal floated from the black shadow to George.
The magic crystal was dazzling, but the fat man's eyes did not change in the slightest, he gently took the magic crystal, and skillfully received it in a secret drawer on the table, George smiled: "Please take a seat, I have been collecting news from Vivian, I believe it will satisfy you." ”
The public identity is the head of the Justin Business Group of the Duchy of Orlando in the City of Glory, but the fat man is also a member of the Dark Left Hand agent, a member of the direct Duru agent. However, as the deepest nail in the organization's glory city, George's life is far easier than that of the average intelligence officer.
There was nothing to investigate, no information to report on time, all George needed to do was to pass on the local information he had collected to Drulu when he returned to the Justin Merchant Corps headquarters to report on his duties.
The relationship between him and the organization is not so much a conglomerate as a cooperation. The organization supports his family's interests in the Duchy of Orlando to the greatest extent, and from time to time he transmits information from the Bright Empire to the organization. Vivien's whereabouts this time were reported to the organization a month ago.
"Vivien still lives in Lady Jessica's mansion, but the guards in the mansion have been taken over by the most elite Knights of Glory in the Holy Light Order. Vivien hasn't been out for a month. ”
Aaron's heart moved: "In addition to the Glory Knight, what other big names has Jessica been in contact with recently?"
"It seems to be closer to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. In addition, she was once seen standing with a cardinal bishop......"
In order to avoid risks, the fat man never compiles information into documents, but his memory is also amazing, and everything he discovers is not missing the slightest. As he elaborated on it, gradually, all the information he knew about Vivien reached Aaron's ears word for word.
After asking all the things he needed to know, Alun nodded slightly, satisfied with the information, and disappeared into the room silently.
"This should be the legendary Great Elder...... "George still had a smile on his face, but he sat still.
After a long time, there was no movement in the room, and then he opened another secret drawer, picked out a crystal gem, and slowly walked out of the room.
The sound of water in the bathroom continues. The fat man undressed his wide robe, smiled lewdly and rushed in. Naturally, the sparkling gem provoked another scream of surprise from the old friend. Enthusiasm and ** were aroused at the same time, and the arrival of the black shadow did not leave any traces here.
Mrs. Jessica's mansion is an ancient and simple palace full of art. It was originally a residence of Edward IX, but since Jessica took a fancy to it, she "forcibly" stripped it of it.
As the former Imperial Palace, the defense force here is quite strong, and at this time, dozens of glorious knights who are supposed to guard the important places inside the Minoan Palace have been added, and I am afraid that the birds will not be able to invade the sky above it.
A divine power enveloped the entire mansion, and the intensity was not great at all, and even the vast majority of people did not even feel its existence.
"One, two, three!" The shadow flowed slowly around the periphery of the divine power, and as it flowed, Aaron was also sensing the faint fluctuations of power coming from within.
Jessica is really ready for his arrival, in a small mansion, there are only three golden powerhouses who have not deliberately restrained their aura, as for whether there are other strong people who hide their strength, and they have not used their spiritual power to explore, Alun is not sure!
The shadow swayed sensitively through the back wall of the palace, clinging to the darkest corners, carefully and slowly flowing through the gaps of the divine power.
George had been to the palace, and according to his investigation and speculation, Vivien's residence should have been in the guest rooms in the back garden of the palace.
He floated silently through several corridors, the guards unaware of his arrival, but then Aaron's movements stopped.
The guest room is a two-story building made of large stones, simple and solemn, and its main body is being sealed by a faint barrier of holy power, and at the only entrance, there is a team of knights in silver armor guarding it. These knights all exuded a strong aura of holy power, and even if it was already late at night, they did not relax in the slightest.
The knight's silver armor is carved with a blood sword and shield that symbolize glory, and it is the glorious knight who guards the palace grounds!
An inn can be guarded by a team of glory knights, and in the middle of the guest room, there is a faint power fluctuation of about the strength of gold emitted. Aaron's heart moved, it seemed that Vivien should be here! However, he didn't act immediately, the Holy Force Barrier and the Glory Knight worked perfectly, almost completely sealing off the entire building, and it was impossible to enter the building without alarming them.
Assault? Or, waiting?
Alun's heart fluctuated, if he attacked, he would naturally not be able to stop him at all with the power of the guest building, and if Vivien was inside, he would definitely die! However, what if she was not inside? After all, she was in it, it was just a speculation! And once she attacked, she would definitely startle the snake, which was equivalent to telling everyone that he had come to the City of Glory. If Vivien weren't in it, in this huge city of glory, I'm afraid I wouldn't find her in the future!
Slowly, the shadow shrank into the depths of darkness, let's keep watch! If Vivien was inside, she would show up sooner or later, and she had been like this for months, and it wasn't too much time to keep watching. As long as she showed up, even if there was a Sacred Domain powerhouse by her side, Aaron was absolutely sure that she could harvest her life in an instant.
The old god Aaron retreated into the darkness on the ground, but there were some ripples in a dead secret room of the palace.
"He's coming! The terrifying aura I felt that day has reappeared! But my psychic skills are still a little weaker, and I can only feel him coming, but I can't find his specific location. A voice rang out, it was the Spiritual Priest who had noticed Aaron's presence in the woods that day.
As one of the rarest and often even disconnected beings in the Church of Light, this priest who has given up all his power and pursued only psychic magic has a natural sensitivity to dangerous aura.
Beside the Spiritual Priest, a red-robed old man frowned slightly: "I didn't touch the holy power barrier I laid down, nor did I alarm the Glory Knights......" As if waiting for something, no one spoke, and the secret room fell silent again.
After a while, a cold female voice sounded: "Since he has been here for so long, he should have also found Vivian, and he has not moved for a long time, probably because he can't determine the specific location of Vivian." ”
The woman was Jessica, of course. After waiting in the secret room for several days, the deep tiredness on her face could no longer be hidden, and after a slight pause, her gaze slowly swept over several people in the secret room, and finally stopped at a tall white-robed middle-aged man, and continued: "Teacher, I asked the guards to exchange the Glory Knight in the name of rotation. Prepare yourself!"
Jessica's teacher, except for the one who once taught her and Edward IX the leader of the Templar Order of the Holy See of Light, one of the top ten powerhouses in the continent, there would be no one else.
Lionel smiled and nodded: "Your Highness, you go and arrange it, as long as he is dyed with the kraken's incense, the rest of the matter will be left to us." The middle-aged man's smile contained a strange charm, and even Jessica couldn't wait to stab the enemy who killed her husband and son, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved in her heart.
Nodding silently, Jessica quickly turned to leave.
Slowly fluttering in the depths of the darkness, there were several powerful breaths in the palace, and Alun didn't dare to scan the building with his spiritual power wantonly, suddenly, his heart moved, and he floated towards the entrance of the building. But I saw several guards dressed in full-body steel armor quickly walking over, and one of the guards led by him was holding a token. He spoke respectfully to the Knight of Glory, and Aaron heard it clearly. I'm here to adjust the defense!
A knight of glory took the token, looked at it slightly, handed it back to the Steel-Armored Guard, gave a military salute, and led the others away quickly.
"Is God going to help me?" or ......" Without thinking about it, the Steel-Armored Guard was sending off the Glory Knight, and before he could set up his defenses, Aaron floated in and silently sneaked into the building.
