Chapter 299: Failed
"I'll just say, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain!"
Along the way, Lin Qiu was elated: "Finding the prophet is equivalent to finding the whereabouts of those instruments, as long as she determines the location of the instruments through the technique of prophecy, we will be foolproof if we go to dismantle the devices! I'm right, this black brother?"
"I am an apprentice to the Prophet. Theofaran said shyly.
The prophet had said that these three men were the saviors of Theopharan, and now the savior not only smiled at him, but also called him his little brother! What a privileged treatment it was for him to tell the children of the city who were always making fun of him, and it would have made them speechless.
Hey, hey, hey, I'm also a brother to the Savior!
The boy has not changed on the surface, but his heart is happy.
"Wait a minute. ”
Alisa, who was walking side by side with Lin Qiu, suddenly blocked everyone with her skills, and when Lin Qiu got carried away, she did not relax her vigilance. The Prophet's apprentices claim that the Prophet lived in remote places and was rarely visited on weekdays. They were not far from the Prophet's hut, and the door to the hut was already visible.
"Don't you usually close the door?"
The apprentice's eyesight was not as sharp as that of Alyssa, and he glanced at the Prophet's hut from afar, and said inexplicably: "Of course the door is closed, the Prophet is very taboo when he is divining, and she always makes sure that the door is closed when someone enters or leaves." ”
"Then it's a big problem...... the smile on Lin Qiu's face gradually froze, he had already seen the hidden door, if the apprentice didn't say it, he thought it was from the prophet's special welcome ceremony. The door was hidden, the mottled footprints on the ground, he squatted down to check it, the footprints on the dirt were still fresh, it seemed that someone had rushed ahead of them before they arrived.
This definitely does not bode well.
After the explosion of the dungeon, the guards and people all gathered towards the place of the incident, who would have come in a gang to visit an old prophet who was alone at home?
"Teacher, she...... It's going to be okay, is it?" the apprentice asked in a low voice, sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Was there anything unusual before?"
"Teacher, she did a divination in the afternoon, and I remember that after the divination, her face was not very good, and when I came up to ask her, she drove me out very harshly and asked me to come to you. The apprentice recalled worriedly. The Prophet was always kind to him, and he seldom saw the Prophet as hoarse as he did in the afternoon.
At that time, he just thought that the prophet must have predicted the arrival of Lin Qiu and the others, but now it seems that the situation is far from the case.
Your teacher, most of them are no longer good......
Although Lin Qiu came to such a conclusion, he still endured it in his heart. There was a dead silence around the Prophet's Hut, and the quiet and unsettling atmosphere was familiar to him.
When it was in the imperial capital.
Before the first appearance of the Crow Assassin, he had similar feelings.
"Let's go in and have a look. Lin Qiu proposed.
Lin Qiu was the first to push open the door, there was no light in the prophet's hut, and a wonderful incense filled the entire room. He sniffed carefully, and there was no smell of blood in the air, the ornaments hanging on the wall at the door were obviously fluctuating, a string of crystals was missing, and in addition to the fragments of crystals, there were also some dry stones on the ground.
"That...... You're a prophet, aren't you?" asked Phoenix, in an uncertain tone, as flames erupted from her palm.
In the center of the hut stood a chair with cracked figurines in the middle of the room, her eyes wide as if in agony, and even the thick rope that bound her body had been reduced to stone. The apprentice stared at the stone sculpture for a long time in a daze before rushing forward.
It was indeed his teacher who sat in the chair.
"This ...... What's going on?"
"Petrochemical. Lin Qiu suddenly remembered what Belvede said to him: "Ge was originally here. ”
If he had looked deeper, he could tell that the Prophet had not died all at once, that it must have been long enough from the time she began to be petrified to the point where she lost consciousness—the thick rope was stuck in her wrist, and her mouth was wide open as if she were trying to scream, and it was hard to imagine what kind of pain could have caused an old man to struggle so violently.
Extrapolating from the situation in front of him, the only speculation Lin Qiu came to was ......
She watched as every part of her body was petrified and cracked open countless cracks.
The Prophet's chair was clearly moved, and she had been moved to such a prominent position that they would be the first to notice the petrified Prophet as soon as they entered.
Any normal person who sees a statue in the house will immediately focus on the statue, so that they can easily launch a surprise attack from behind.
Lin Qiu heard the sound of wind coming from behind his ears, and he and Alyssa reacted almost at the same time.
"Your tricks are too old, do you have any new tricks?" he twisted hard, twisting the assassin's hand into an irregular shape, the sound of bones breaking was particularly clear in the room, but Lin Qiu knew that as long as they were given enough time to breathe, they would be able to recover again and again.
Crow Assassin.
The two assassins, who had been instantly subdued by him and Alyssa, fell to the ground, glaring at them with a vengeful gaze.
Lin Qiu had heard from the church before his departure that the kingdom had found many ordinary assassins in the royal city after the military had done so, but all of the crow assassins had escaped from the imperial capital by some unknown method - including the two who had been trapped above the royal city by his abilities.
"It's a step too late. ”
"I didn't expect you to be so stupid that you came to His Majesty's kingdom of Goeben by yourself, and you are already dead. The two assassins apparently recognized Lin Qiu and Alyssa, and even in this case, they said with a smirk. They may not be the opponents of these church knights, but in their hearts, Lord Goebon is absolutely invincible.
These people dare to come to their realm, and sooner or later Lord Goebon will turn them all into stone sculptures—after dealing with the outsider who caused a commotion in the dungeon.
"Eventually you will all be like this old woman, and we will put your statues on the walls and announce your fate. ”
He ...... Who are they?"
The apprentice was frightened by the gaze of the two, who looked to be of the same race as him, but who had a suffocating aura all over their bodies. These people look ...... Exactly like the exiles!
It's just that they still have sanity.
"Apprentices of the Prophets, We Have ......"
"You say they?"
Lin Qiu interrupted the Black Crow Assassin, and with a slash of the sword in his hand, he left an incision on the assassin's neck: "They are just two corpses. ”
