Chapter 226: Bishop
Before Sijak escaped underground, a small building at Fort Bucher was crawling with creepers.
The rococo-style hall is lavishly furnished, with brilliant colors such as gold, silver, and ivory white. On the sterling silver candlestick, hundreds of large candles emitted bright light, making the temperature of the hall several degrees higher than the outside world.
The floor-to-ceiling windows are all closed, and the thick curtains are closed, so that the wind is impermeable, and there is no light to let through.
On the handmade jacquard wool carpet that was nearly three inches thick, young men and women in disheveled clothes lay there in all directions, covered in sweat and wine, and from time to time someone twitched a few times and made inexplicable babbles.
Gil Jung Butcher lay on a couch on all fours, his eyes slightly rolled and stared at the gold-painted patterns painted on the ceiling.
A breeze blew, and the maid, who had just gone down to bring him a pot of hot tea, staggered towards him, only to be seven or eight feet away from Gil when she was dragged by a few arms, and fell to the ground with a 'sneer' laugh.
The air was filled with the smell of erosion, and a wisp of palpitating evil power enveloped the void, slowly but surely squeezing the spirits of the men and women in the hall.
In the middle of the hall was a small ebony altar with a strange statue of a two-foot-tall, pure gold, inlaid with countless ornate gemsโa strange being with a human head and a body like an octopus, and a body full of tentacles, surrounded by three women with blurred faces.
The strange being surrounded in the center, its eyes were two pink diamonds, wisps of evil power were spewing out of the diamonds, the two diamonds shimmered faintly, like the eyes of living creatures, peering through a layer of void diaphragm, peeking at the indulgent men and women in the hall.
Gil Rong Butcher, Carben's youngest son.
During the day, it was for him that Carben went to Ruhr Cathedral to bribe and threaten Archbishop Hoffmann, using a large check as a bridge, and the two successfully reached some shady deals.
Originally, Gil was a child who followed the rules, and when he was a teenager in Ruhr, he was law-abiding, respectful of the old and loving the young, diligent and motivated, and everyone said that he was a model for all the noble children of Ruhr.
But at the age of fifteen, Jill was sent to study at the Intermediate Academy in the imperial capital of Hyderabad...... No one knows what happened during his years in the imperial capital, but when he finished his studies and returned to Ruhr from Hyderabad, he was completely different......
Gil spends his days mingling with the famous luhr of the Ruhr city, eating, drinking, and indulging...... Eventually, Jill began to organize secret gatherings and perform some bizarre rituals......
Jill had a good father, a good father who doted on him very much.
Otherwise, for what he has done in the past two years, he would have either been arrested and imprisoned by the Ruhr City Police or burned at the stake by the Ruhr Cathedral Inquisition as a heretic.
However, Carben doted on him very much, doting on him unreasonably and unprincipledly, so Jill has been smooth sailing and living an extremely happy life to this day.
A young girl in a light veil crawled down the carpet with difficulty.
She winked at Jill from afar, and a cat-like cooing sound came out of her throat......
Jill shook his head slightly, he straightened up, picked up a glass full of lipstick marks in front of him, poured two sips of ice water with 'Goo Dong Goo Dong', and then shivered excitedly.
"Just now, it seems...... Uh, my head...... Just now, it seems ......"
His bewildered gaze took a little focus, and he staggered to his feet, staggering to the door of the hall, his body trembling open the heavy door, and poking half of his head through the crack in the door.
Outside the door stood a few delicate maids, and an old butler with a stiff face.
Jill blinked, looked at the old butler, and coughed heavily: "Just now, how long ago...... Like, for a while...... You just let people go in and tell me, say, speak...... What happened to my father? โ
The old butler took a deep breath, he looked at Jill who was still in a state of confusion sadly, and said in a deep voice: "The head of the family has been kidnapped, and Mr. Joseph temporarily takes over the position of the head of the family...... Master, please don't go out these days. โ
Jill froze, a chill flashing in his confused eyes, then retracted his head and slammed the door shut.
The old butler looked at the closed door, shook his head slightly, and then sighed heavilyโhe had served the Butcher family all his life, and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had also worked for the Butcher family all their lives. Seeing that the once well-behaved and excellent Young Master Jill has become such a depraved gentleman...... The old butler's heart hurts!
Just when he sent someone in to inform Jill, Jill and a group of 'friends' were at a climax, and everyone was in an uncontrollable hysteria.
Jill didn't even hear what the messenger was saying......
The old butler simply stood at the door, anyway, as long as Jill didn't go out and run around, the old man Joseph asked that these descendants of the family not have any more problems.
Outcome...... Jill behaved beyond the old butler's expectations - his father had been kidnapped, and he didn't react as he should?
Jill shivered as his legs went a little limp, and he walked through the hall one by one, pushing open a door, and through a hallway, he came to a common room. As he walked, he muttered in a low voice, "Damn, why this time?" Which bastard kidnapped him? I'm not ready, I'm not ready......"
Closing the door of the lounge with his backhand, Jill came to a row of bookshelves against the wall, and after a few fiddles on the shelves, the bookshelves slid open silently, revealing a secret door, and then he carefully knocked on the door.
"Bishop Arya? Can I come in? Jill asked softly.
The secret door opened silently, revealing a short aisle, and a translucent black face was suspended in the aisle, and when I saw Jill, this strange face grinned silently, revealing a wicked smile.
Two glimmers of light erupted from the translucent eyes and quickly swept over Jill.
Jill nodded to the face, then walked straight forward, through the face itself, into a fully functional and ornately equipped ensuite chamber.
Facing the aisle, behind a rosewood desk, a woman in a scarlet robe, with red hair, red eyes, a soft face, and an inexplicable evil look on her facial features, was sitting cross-legged on a chair, holding a thick parchment scroll in both hands.
"You should start the second round of happy hour now...... Is it still early? "Arya, the red-haired woman, the bishop of the Hill Church in the Ruhr region raised his head, his eyes flashing red, and he smiled quietly.
Jill tapped his head, he walked over to the desk, frowned and whispered, "My father was kidnapped. โ
Arya's smile froze for a moment, then quickly disappeared, she looked up at Jill, and said coldly, "Who did it?" โ
Jill spread her hands and shook her head: "I don't know, maybe ......"
At this moment, an explosion was heard in the distance, and then, through the secret door, gunshots rang out from near and far.
Jill looked at Arya in astonishment.
Arya shook her head slightly, "No, no, no, it's not us...... Yesterday's plan to attack the special train failed, and those idiots were killed by the Empire, so I was asked to keep a low profile during this time...... You see, I've even started researching the history of the Knights of Tribulation. โ
Arya gently placed the parchment scroll in her hand on the desk, and her body floated silently.
She looked at Jill and said softly, "You go...... Ask the people of the Butcher family about the circumstances and consequences of your father's abduction, and any information that may be useful, and ask in more detail...... Why is it your father? The power structure of the Ruhr is solid, and the division of interests is also stable...... Nothing like this should happen. โ
Tilting her head, Arya frowned, "You're here for me?" Or is it the trouble that the one below has incurred? โ
Suddenly, Arya's eyes widened, and she sneered: "Ho, ho, it's really not to be underestimated, that old guy, he actually ran away?" What does this do? Well? Does he think he can escape our grasp? โ
Arya's face was gloomy, she reached out and patted Jill's cheek gently, and smiled softly: "Dear Jill, go, find out all the causes and consequences of the matter...... This old guy is an important part of the next step, he wants to go, but it's not so easy! โ
Arya smiled and closed the parchment scroll heavily.
In the parchment scroll, there is a hollowed-out space, and the lost Wall chapter is placed in the scroll.
The scroll closed, the twisted marks on the cover shimmered with a deep light, the faint prayers of countless people came from the void, and a powerful evil force turned into a black shackle the thickness of a little finger emerged from the void, and the 'choking Langlang' locked the ancient scroll to death.
Arya's body exploded violently, and with a long, high-pitched whistling sound, a cloud of red light enveloped a transparent banshee bust and circled the chamber several times, leaving several rune marks on the walls like scorching runes, and then quickly sank into the floor.
Jill patted his head hard, and he muttered in a low voice, "Okay, I'll ask...... Damn, who kidnapped him? Uh, what a headache...... The next time you take the five-color Tongshensan, you must not use spirits...... Damn, you must not use spirits...... My head ......"
Everything is happening almost simultaneously.
Siyak fled for his life at a fast pace, and so did the Hydra Guard...... Arya was the first to hunt down Seeak, but she still couldn't catch up with him in time.
On the ground, Seeak had already been knocked down by Joe's punch, and Arya, who had turned into a transparent banshee, flew up from the secret passage with a subtle chirp.
'Choke'......
The slight grinding sound of the long knife coming out of its sheath was long and cold, and as soon as Arya rushed out of the secret passage, the long knives in the hands of several Hydra guards slashed at her almost at the same time......
The long knife sliced through the body, causing no harm to Arya.
Arya in her current form is immune to all physical damage!
