The capital of the Kingdom of Saxony ββ
Shortly after contacting the White Dragon Katras, an attendant from the Temple brought important news to Miria that the city security team had recently found two women trapped in a stone in a meat processing workshop, and that the priestess Elena of TongguΓ² had gone to inspect the scene and determined that it was caused by the alchemy of the two brothers.
After receiving the news, Miriya, who had just returned and had not had time to take a sip of water, quickly went out and rushed to the temple.
From the mouth of the priestess Elena, Miria learned that the two rescued women had strange expressions when they asked them about the details, and after interrogating them in the temple, it was finally discovered that both were suspected of worshipping demons. Although the two of them have been arguing with each other, Elena has determined that the temple's maid, Tia, may have been kidnapped by cultists, and that the two brothers witnessed the kidnapping and tried to rescue them.
"Further interrogations are now underway against the two cultists, and the worst-case scenario may be that the two children were also captured by the cultists while saving Tia. Elena looked very gloomy and anxious.
"These two little fools" Miriya sighed and said very angrily: "If you find out about this kind of thing, you should notify the security team or come to sue me!"
Elena also agreed: "Indeed, they should have notified us as soon as possible, instead of running to save people on their own initiative." β
The disappearance of the temple's maid and the discovery of the cultist also attracted the attention of the Saxon authorities, especially when Miria quietly informed the royal family that someone in her team had also disappeared because of the cultist, and the royal family immediately took action and issued a search order. The intelligence forces of the entire royal capital were quickly mobilized. Soon clues about the female cultist were excavated, and the personnel of the temple and the investigators of the royal capital quickly searched a certain cultist-run store in the laneway of the commercial street, and the relevant personnel of the store were quickly charged and interrogated, and at the same time, the records of the store's entry and exit from the city in the past few days were also retrieved.
Soon, after the relevant personnel interrogated the personnel on duty who were responsible for the inspection of the entrance and exit of the city gate at that time, the captain of the garrison, who had a relationship with the two brothers, recognized Alphonse on the portrait, there was no way! It was difficult to ignore such a tall and big man's armor.
"Are they out of town?"
"No~ because they didn't bring the relevant texts, I didn't let them out of the city. They slipped away when they were asked to be examined, and I have reported the matter in accordance with the relevant regulations. The captain of the garrison said one of the 1510 that he could recall.
When the investigators learned the news, they began to search the neighborhood at the same time, and soon found a tunnel in a dead corner of the city wall, a very neat and standard square tunnel, which did not look like it had been excavated casually. After the news was reported, both Miria and Elena were sure that only the alchemy of the two brothers could make such a tunnel in an instant.
Twenty minutes later, 300 guards of the royal capital, together with seventy or eighty security guards, rode out of the city on horseback and began a large-scale search, and the royal family even sent a cavalry unit stationed near the royal capital to join the search party. The Temple's Priestess Elena, who also personally led some of the Temple's personnel to join the search, while the Ice Goddess Priestess who stayed behind communicated with the Ice Goddess in the Temple, hoping to get some revelation from the oracle.
Miriya was naturally relieved to ride together to join the search, and the white dragon Katras, who was supposed to be the main force, was a little aggrieved. Because he was still on duty, Cutraz could not leave his post, and if Destier was allowed to replace Cutraz with 'sincere deception' for a period of time, without the ring's ability to hide his aura and identity, Cutraz would not dare to guarantee that his identity would not be able to hide from Serena, the chief priest of the goddess of ice. You must know that the spokesperson of the gods in this world will be endowed with the ability to see through illusions with the ability of 'true vision'.
Naturally, the large-scale search operation could not be kept secret, and even the Holy See sent personnel to inquire about the news, and after learning that one of the temple's maids might have been kidnapped by the cultists, the Holy See chose to remain silent, as two opposing religious organizations, as long as one side was in trouble and made a mistake, it was inevitable that the other side would seize the handle and attack it. But this matter involves the demons, and the Holy See has not carried out the fall under the unwritten rules of each other.
Naturally, the large-scale search also made the eyes of some cultists in the royal capital quickly send the news to their companions!

"Ahh
The overnight escape left Edward and Tia exhausted, especially due to the complete wetting of his clothes and the cold temperatures of the Far North. Finally, near noon, Edward had to light a bonfire in the face of being discovered by the cultists, otherwise he believed that if he continued to escape, he would not be found and killed by the cultists. I'm going to freeze to death by the hellish weather!
Tia also curled up and tried her best to lean against the bonfire, only the upper half of her body was wearing a windbreaker to keep out the cold, which made Tia feel that her lower body legs were about to be blown by the cold wind to Cheng DΓΉ, who was unconscious, but fortunately, this windbreaker that had been placed in the space bracelet before was not wet, compared to Edward Tia, who had to stare at the cold wind and tried to dry her clothes, she was already very lucky.
"Tia~ I want to eat a littleββAhhhh
Edward sneezed as he took out the emergency food that had been placed in the storage ring, which Arrin had prepared for everyone when he was in Ulduar, except for the dried meat and biscuits that he had in the same way as in the other world. Yalin also prepared some military food in the dry food that was more convenient to heat.
"Brother~ Isn't there still chocolate?"
"ββThere was chocolate, but I ate it before. "Originally, there was a high-calorie chocolate to replenish the body in an emergency, but it was eaten by Edward as a snack not long after he arrived at the King of Saxony.
In this case, Tia doesn't complain about anything, and she should be grateful to the goddess for being able to fill her stomach a little bit, not to mention the strange way of heating up food in an instant. When the heating potion is poured into the heating belt, it takes less than a moment for the food to come out of the heat. This was a novelty for Tia, who didn't use magic to make the food hot just by putting water in. Although it always feels a little strange when you eat it, the taste is still acceptable.
After eating a few bites of hot food with a plastic soup spoon in his unaccustomed left hand, Edward had to focus his attention on the nearby area, and to be honest, now the three of them are facing another bad situation, that is, they are lost!
After the compass was knocked off and they ran away overnight to avoid the cultists, when the sun rose, Edward and Al found that they couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest after running to this small mound, because they were afraid that the cultists would find the three of them and did not dare to return the same way, so they could only try to make a detour like luck, but this detour made their group completely lost.
Tia is also in love with Nengsuke, although Tia has lived in the royal capital for a long time, she rarely leaves the city to go outside, not to mention that Tia is still sent here in a coma, even in the former lumber yard, Tia may not find her way back.
"Judging by the direction of the rising sun, I think we probably ran to this position. Edward said, holding a twig and drawing a simple map on the ground.
"Then the lumberyard should be a little to the right~ yes! β
Without a body, Alphonse could only provide Edward with some information very inconveniently, and the two relied on their memories to try to recall the direction they had come from. The only place in the hills that could provide reference coordinates was the lumberyard, but the thought of passing through cultist territory, especially in the face of the half-human, half-lion monsters Edward and Al, was not very confident.
Suddenly, Alphonse noticed Tia, who had been watching her and her brother discuss, her breathing began to grow heavy again, and fine sweat began to ooze from her forehead in this cold weather.
Seeing this, Edward immediately took out another bottle of purification potion and handed it to Tia, who drank the potion for a while before Tia finally recovered.
"Thank you~ I think it's okay. Tia said with a grateful expression.
Obviously, the cultist made Tia smell the incense probably something extraordinary, and the grandmaster-level purification potion could only suppress and weaken the effect of the incense, but could not completely eradicate it.
"No!I think you're going to have a big problem!!"
The voice of the priestess Charlotte suddenly came from afar.
Edward was startled and immediately ran to the mound with the location where the voice came, and not far away, Charlotto was leading seven or eight cultists to come over with unkind expressions.
"Tia~ I think we'd better start right now now. Edward took the fragment of Al's bloodmark into his arms.
Just as he was about to pull Tia away, Edward was desperate to find that two more cultists had come from the other end of the mound, and they were the kind of monsters that were half human and half lions.
Now ββIt's over! Suddenly Edward's heart was cold to the bottom.
