Chapter XVI

When Chen An and Alex went to the fourth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower, the Ricky Temple went to arrest Alex's men and horses but they pounced, and finally returned to the temple with nothing.

"The man is gone?!"

Hearing the report of the people under his hands, the priest of Baier was immediately furious in public, which showed that the blasphemy in the auditorium of the temple must be related to Alex, otherwise why would he disappear for no reason? Presumably, the other party heard the news of the leakage in the temple before he became a thief and fled! Of course, the above are all the subjective assumptions of the priest of Baier!

"Yes, one of our teams found out that the target was not at home, but the other team found out that he had returned from a training session with a group of Divine Favorites from the Demon Sealing Tower yesterday, and was so drunk that he didn't wake up until the middle of the night while celebrating in a tavern, according to the Divine Servants who were with him last night, Alex had been involved in their small talk after waking up, and left the tavern at dawn under the pretext that something had happened, and they never saw Alex again. Tolan, the captain of the Templar Guard in charge of the capture of Alex, gave a rough description of the capture. "In the end, we investigated the residence of the friend who accompanied Alex to the awakening ceremony that day, only to find that the other party was also missing, so we have reason to guess that Alex woke up in the tavern and heard about the blasphemy at the temple and immediately ran to his friend's house to report the news, and finally fled and disappeared before our eyes...... I have ordered the Sheriff's Department in Bella Oca to cooperate fully with us in our search for the whereabouts of the two men, and to notify us as soon as there is any news. ”

After listening carefully, the face of the priest finally softened a little, after all, Tolan had done his best to capture Alex, but unfortunately the world was unpredictable, who would have thought that Alex would escape one step ahead of them.

"What is the origin of his friend?"

"The other party's name is Ann, it is said that Alex met a friend in Luke Street more than half a year ago, and later entered a chamber of commerce in Bela Oka as an accountant through Alex's introduction, and his reputation among colleagues and superiors is very good, but no one knows when asked about his origin. Tolan elaborated with a serious expression. The library administrators were impressed by him, after all, there were few civilians in Bela Oca who were as keen on book knowledge as he was, and the books he borrowed were very strange, and from the borrowed materials obtained from the library, we found that the books he borrowed at the beginning were all related to the world history and social culture of Osgaard, and as the reading progressed, the books borrowed became varied, but most of them were related to mythology and humanities......”

"Huh...... I didn't expect the other party to be a diligent and studious 'scholar!'" Priest Baier sneered.

The subordinate was quite strange about what he had done, because the order in which the books were borrowed showed that he was very purposefully pursuing. Tolan frowned and said what was going on in his heart.

“...... Do you think he would be the blasphemer?" said the priest of Bair, in a moment of contemplation.

"Very likely!" Tolan nodded. "After investigating Alex's personality and background, I don't think he is a person who dares to commit blasphemous acts. ”

But he eventually fled. Priest Baier said coldly.

Perhaps, all this is inseparable from the person named Ann. "Tolan Road.

"Anyway, I'll leave all the arrest of Alex to you, and you must find out the whereabouts of the other party for me in the next few days!" said this sentence, and the priest turned to leave.

......

"Alex, have you checked the surrounding situation?"

In a forest on the fourth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower, Chen An was building the frame of the tent on the flat ground with dry thick branches, and when he heard the sound in the distance, he immediately followed the sound vigilantly, only to find Alex's return.

"Well, I walked around the woods just now, and I didn't find any traces of the demon flow for a while. Alex said with a dagger in his hand spinning back and forth in his hand, looking relaxed.

"Since it's okay, let's come and help, I don't know when I'll be able to set up the tent alone. Chen An breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly beckoned the other party to come over to help.

The choice of this forest was a common decision between the two of them, when they first reached the fourth layer, although they had heard Alex say that there were a large number of forests here, but after really seeing it, Chen An still had a hard time believing how the woods in front of him survived, there was no sunlight, no water nourishment from rainfall, but these trees still grew dense branches and leaves, it was like a fantasy of the Arabian Nights.

A safe place to hide requires many considerations, Chen An is responsible for making suggestions, Alex is responsible for searching, and it took a long time to find the woods in front of him. First of all, this place is only a bell away from the nearest teleportation altar, in case it is discovered by mistake, you can quickly rush to the altar to escape; secondly, the terrain here is complicated, monsters are scarce, and there are usually few gods to set foot on hunting; finally, maybe there is a better hiding place in the fourth layer, but unfortunately Chen An's body is exhausted in the process of searching, and he really has no strength to continue walking.

It turned out that Chen An and his classmates had gone to outdoor camping on a whim during the summer vacation when he was in college, and the equipment for picnic camping on the earth was simple and rich, and ordinary people could easily experience the taste of wild camping.

Clinker is unpredictable, and his knowledge of camping, which he didn't have a place in the beginning, is now being used in another world.

There is no reference to distinguish time in the Demon Sealing Tower, and can only roughly guess day and night according to the body's biological clock, after completing the construction of the camp, it is agreed that the time to take turns on duty and vigilance, Chen An, who is the first to stand up, will fall asleep directly in the tent after eating something casually.

When he woke up, his body, which had not been exercised with high intensity for a long time since he came to this world, couldn't help but feel a little sore, Chen An rubbed his sleepy eyes and got out of the tent, and greeted Alex, who was sitting on the ground not far away and seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed.

"Alex, I'm resting, you should go and rest quickly. ”

"No need!" Alex said with a smile and a wave of his hand. "Since becoming a Divine Servant, I have been sleeping a lot less every day, and after a little rest, my mind will be full again. ”

"The spirit is one thing, the body is another, don't rely on your youth now, plus your physical fitness has greatly improved after becoming a god's favorite, but you still have to rest well when it's time to rest, otherwise sooner or later you will be weakened and sick in the future due to excessive overdraft of your body!" Chen An kindly advised.

"Okay, if something happens, remember to wake me up in time! Don't be impulsive!" Alex didn't want to entangle with Chen An on this issue, and he also enjoyed Chen An's kindness very much, and after explaining the precautions, he entered the tent and lay down to rest.

It is undoubtedly monotonous and boring for a person to face the quiet woods, coupled with the lighting problem, the vision is greatly limited, there are no books to pass the time here, and there is no one to chat with after Alex rests, after eating some dry food and drinking some water to replenish the energy of the body, thinking of the danger that may be encountered at any time in the Demon Sealing Tower, Chen An simply took off his clothes and exercised his body, and improved his physical fitness as much as possible, so as not to drag Alex down in the future!

Jogging around the camp until he was sweating profusely and panting for a while, he then started to do push-ups, sit-ups and other exercises that he was familiar with.

I don't know how long it took, Chen An, who had finished exercising, wiped off the sweat on his body with a towel, and then sat on the ground and looked up at the "starry sky" composed of countless fine fluorescent stones above his head, his eyes were full of confusion and hesitation.

Ever since he and Alex fled the temple, he had always had a sense of foreboding in his heart that no amount of optimism would change their fate.

If the temple is compared to a state, in the face of the power of the state, the power of the individual is ultimately insignificant, not to mention resistance, and self-preservation alone is a great problem. As a law-abiding citizen of the Earth Era, he didn't expect to become a fugitive in another world, and the crime was just blasphemy that seemed extremely ridiculous in his eyes, which he would never admit anyway!

Temple, temple, god, god, how afraid are you of others discovering your secrets?

"What are you thinking?"

At this time, Alex's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Nothing, just thinking about what to do when we run out of dry food and water. Chen An turned around and smiled at him, and did not tell him the "big rebellion" thoughts in his heart.

"Hey, hey, it's up to me!, you can relax!" Alex said with a mysterious smile.

"What can you do?" Chen An said as he looked at him in surprise. "As far as I know, there is no water source in the Demon Sealing Tower, and even if there is, who would dare to drink it safe......ly?

"Eat monsters...... Ann, you're so bold ......" Alex couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after hearing this. "The flesh of monsters is highly poisonous, but no normal person would eat them, and besides, the method I said is none of their business. ”

"Alex, don't hide it, tell me your way!" Chen An said simply.

"The source of food and water can be determined from the gods of the fourth layer of hunting or mortals!" Alex said no more.

"Hmm, are you going to rob them?" Chen An seemed a little surprised by his thoughts. "While this is indeed a solution, the problem is that it will also reveal our whereabouts!"

"You don't have to worry about this, have you forgotten who I am?" Alex said, looking up.

"The God of Fraud and Lies...... Could it be ......" Chen An immediately looked him up and down. "You have the so-called God-given power?"

"That's right, let's show you the god-given power that I have mastered with great difficulty, don't be shocked!"

As he spoke, Alex closed his eyes and pursed his lips, and then a strange scene happened.

I saw that Alex's face suddenly kept squirming, and his facial bones even made a clicking sound, and at the same time, his facial features were distorted terrifyingly hideous, and after a while, his originally immature face slowly turned into another unfamiliar appearance.

, with a talent for plastic surgery!

Seeing Alex's changes, Chen An couldn't help but burst into a foul language in his heart to express his shocked feelings.

"How is it? Scared, right? Haha! This is one of the powers of my lord Ricky's gift, the disguise deception technique!" Alex, who had completed the plastic surgery, suddenly said triumphantly when he saw Chen An's stunned appearance. "So in the future, I can use this appearance to obtain food and water from other gods, of course, robbery is not safe, the best way is to do it through trading. ”
