Chapter 51: Shifting Targets

Lin always thought that Il would be captured by the church because of her own willfulness, if she hadn't sympathized with that mermaid back then, Il would not have been tortured by the people of the church, and she would not have vowed to overthrow everything in the church today, all because of herself!

That's why she's been practicing magic all these years, hoping to help Il even a little bit one day!

Il never knew that Lin had such a big sense of guilt in his heart, he didn't blame anyone, they shouldn't feel guilty about all this today, that shameless church was the culprit.

He bent down and gently lifted Lynn's tear-stained arm, and he was distressed to see that Lynn had cried, wiping her hot tears with his cuffs, and holding her in his arms so that she leaned against his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

"Lin, I've never regretted it, everything is wrong with the church, you just want to save that poor mermaid, you're not wrong, you're not wrong......"

Lin lay in Il's arms like this, she didn't seem so sad when she heard Il's comforting voice, but she still couldn't control her uncompetitive eyes, but she didn't cry so much.

Ilr gently patted her on the back, and slowly Lynn was tired of crying and leaned on Il's arm and fell asleep. Il slowly put her to sleep on the bed and covered her with the quilt, then kissed her on the cheek and reluctantly left.

This night, I don't know if it was under the influence of alcohol or under the comfort of Yier, Lin slept very peacefully.

That night, I don't know if it was because of the deepening hatred of the church or because of Lynn's tears, Il couldn't sleep all night.

When the sun rises the next day and the morning light shines on the earth, the white-tailed ground jay, which is only found near the desert, cries and wants to leave their homes in the desert bushes in search of food for the day, their long, pointed beaks bent slightly downwards to dig for food under the sand.

Lin didn't seem to remember what happened after she drank too much last night, and after waking up, she began to complain of headaches, after all, after drinking so much ale, even an alcoholic who has been drinking all year round is estimated to not be able to get up the next day.

They stayed in Tata City for another two more days before setting off again, during which time Lynn lay down in bed to recover her alcohol-tormented head, and Ill pondered for a whole day and a night before sending a long letter to Allen, which reads:

My dear Highness Alan,

I don't know if my friends have already finished making that batch of goods, maybe we'll have to create more events to be useful in the future at the same time.

I need some help to do something in the Otos Nation and the Free Federation, let Adorno bring a few people to me, now is the time to use Adorno.

There's also a recipe for 'fireworks' and drawings for 'hot air balloons', which I hope will convince people that humans can do what only gods can do with their own power, and that they will bring you a lot of money when they are produced on a large scale.

I'm going to start creating some chaos with the Ottos Empire, hoping that our goods will be perfectly suited to take them off guard.

Electrolux

After Il had finished the letter to Alan, he changed into his costume and drank the Transfiguration Potion, and by the time he walked out of the room, he was a new face that no one knew.

There is a large church in Tata City, even larger than the one in Black Dragon City, and it is jointly run by three white bishops.

Every rest morning is a time of collective prayer for the believers of God, and a white bishop leads the missionaries to pray in front of the statue of God.

While one of the missionaries was reading the doctrine, another bishop hurried out of the nave.

"What's going on?"

"There is a demonic reaction, and we must find this arrogant person who dares to oppose God as soon as possible. ”

The bishop, who was still praying just now, suddenly changed his face, that thing had not given instructions for a long time, although the archbishop had recently issued orders to churches everywhere to be vigilant and not to let people take advantage of it, but no one in Tata City dared to openly oppose the church.

"Knight Chief, you lead a team of men and horses to the south gate to see who is believing in the devil without self-determination?"

The Bishop immediately ordered the paladins to go in the direction indicated by the demon detector to arrest the people, and although the prison of St. Pietrona was burned down a few months ago, the new prison was built on the old site and is waiting for a new batch of prisoners to move in.

The chief knight rode his horse south with a group of paladins, and they searched for suspicious people and things along the way, including what strange things had just happened, and there were no suspicious people or rumors all the way out of the city gates.

The chief knight sent a few paladins to the towns and villages in the south to check, while he took a few people to continue to check in the city for anything strange.

"It's strange, captain, you said that in the past, the bishop asked us to come out and arrest people, and we could quickly find the person to be arrested, why is there no abnormality in the city this time?"

A paladin asked strangely, listening to the bishop's meaning, the heretics were in the direction of the south of the city, and did not instruct them to go out of the city to look outside.

The chief knight shook his head, "What the Lord Bishop says, it must be that the heretics this time are very cunning and hidden, but after all, they can't escape the eyes of the gods, you all cheer up!"

"Yes!"

What they didn't know was that a man was smiling at their constantly checking figure, holding a round palm-sized object in his hand, and making tiny drip, drip, drip, and drip.

Such a stupid paladin, I don't know how the side found me all at once.

The paladins did not get any useful news until noon, the flow of people in Tata City was huge, it was impossible to find out about everyone, and the few paladins who had left the city had not returned except for the two towns that were farther away, and the rest of them had already returned fruitlessly.

"Captain, nothing unusual has happened in the village, we are going back to report to the Bishops?"

The chief knight finally decided to go back and report this strange thing, this was the first time he had returned in vain, and now he could only hope for the people who had not returned.

Il, who had seen them turn around and start walking back, shook the things in his hand once more and walked out of the city gate, where he buried the palm-sized thing in a dirt pit and left.

Don't the people in the church like to look for it? Don't you wait to find it, don't worry.

When he returned to the inn, Il slept soundly until the next morning, and he did not bother to check to see if the church had found the mechanical watch he had buried in the earth.

It took Il and Lynn a few days of driving away from Tata City to finally reach the town, which didn't seem to be as full of life as a normal town, and the sun was only halfway down when the shops on the streets began to pack up and prepare for closure.

Il-Il helped Lynn out of the carriage, and the coachman's task was to bring them here, and then they could leave, but he seemed to have heard the slightest rumor, so he told Il-Lynn a few words.

"I've heard that people often go missing this time, and they will come back by themselves after a few days, so this young lady, you have to pay attention to safety when you come here!"

Lin was immediately angry when she heard him say this, she stared at her eyes to express her anger, she and Il had been sitting in the carriage for so long, how could this groom arrive at the place to tell herself such important news?

"Uncle, why didn't you say it earlier? Are you still afraid that we won't dare to come after hearing the news?"

Lin's words immediately made the groom's careful thoughts, this groom saw that they were generous, and it was indeed afraid that they would hear some bad rumors and give up the plan to come, and did not want to lose such a large amount of business, so he did not warn them in advance, knowing that the price offered by the man in the mask was twice the normal price.

"Forget Lynn, didn't Uncle still tell us these things at the last moment, let's not embarrass him. ”

Lynn felt that Il was a little absent-minded, but she didn't know that Il was indeed in some trouble, the hideous scar on his right shoulder that extended to his chest had never affected Il's daily life, but from today onwards, the location of this scar was actually dull and painful, and it was getting more and more serious.

"Then, those two bosses, I'll go first, you pay attention to safety, pay attention to safety......"

Seeing that Il had not troubled him, the groom quickly took the money and returned to the carriage and fled.
