Chapter Eighty-Seven: Out of the City
Chapter Eighty-Seven: Out of the City
"I didn't think you really were a magician," Erica curiously leaned over the window. "That was Mr. Sparky from the Hanlin Guild just now, right?"
"yes, what am I lying to you for, am I teasing you?" Morey's voice was calm, but his eyes were straight on the road ahead, and the leisurely speed of the carriage made him a little irritated. "Joseph, are our horses not fed?"
"Look at what you said! Hehe, our horses have always been fed with good yellow heart grass, and their physical strength is definitely not covered! But you can't see the grace of God when you go out of the city so soon, won't you take a look and go again?" the coachman smiled flatteringly, but still quickened his pace. "This is a grand event, I heard that as long as you have been illuminated by the Holy Grace, you can even be cured of many years of stubborn diseases, it is said that hehe, even that ability can be enhanced!
Oh shit!!
Morey only felt a rush of anger rushing up to his head, and immediately glared at him fiercely. "Give me a good ride!" Joseph didn't expect that this fart seemed to be slapped on the horse's leg, and he was taken aback on the spot, and honestly drove the car
Why did they come to Hanlin City in the early morning?
This only shows that they were in a hurry overnight!
Morey only felt his heart sink and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Why did we leave so early, don't you want to see Divine Grace?" asked Erica with her hand on the window, quizzing to Morey. "I'm sorry to hear that this Grace was presided over by Archbishop Emilyda. At this, there was a look of reverence in her eyes. "He's one of the most senior archbishops in the Holy See, and even my father often mentions him when it comes to light magic. ”
"Most elemental mages don't have a good idea of theology," Morey said slowly, glancing at her. "You don't know, in fact, many magicians are the same. ”
"Archbishop Emilyida?" Aaron also heard these words not far away, and couldn't help but say strangely. "Where did you hear that?"
"That's what I heard anyway. Erica grinned and stuck out her tongue.
There were far fewer pedestrians on the streets, and apparently they all gathered at the east gate to greet them, and the carriages ran all the way from the alleys to the west gate, without even a hint of congestion.
But just as they were about to leave the city gate, a group of soldiers with swords suddenly stopped the carriage.
"Stop, we're going to check our identity!"
Morey's eyes froze, and he sat in the car and was silent.
"Do you have to verify your identity when you go out of the city gate, it doesn't seem like there is such a rule?" Aaron stood up when he heard this, his eyes turned to the leather armor of those people, and his brow frowned slightly. "Why don't you have a badge with Forest City?"
"We are the swordsmen of the Holy See, and we are here to assist the city guards today. A swordsman said coldly. "This is the task assigned to us by the city lord, and I hope you will cooperate so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"With all due respect, even if His Royal Highness the King is there in person, Hanlin City will only be strictly inspected and entered the city. Erica bowed slightly, her gaze calmly at the swordsman. "Hanlin City is not a prison, and it is always free to leave if you want to. Tell us, swordsmen of the Holy See, what is the purpose of this? The power of citizens is not high, but it is not something that anyone can infringe upon. ”
Erica's chest heaved and heaved, indicating that she wasn't as calm as she seemed at this point, but after calming down a bit, she continued. "I don't mean to be offended, on the contrary, I have always had great respect for the Holy See. But don't you think it's too much to meddle in the affairs of an important city in a kingdom?"
But under Erica's questioning, the swordsman's eyes did not waver at all.
"I'm only ordered to stay here, it's all to ensure the smooth flow of the Holy Grace, and thoroughly investigate all suspicious people! If you are dissatisfied, you can ask the city lord to react, but if you want not to accept the check, then don't blame us for suspecting that you are suspicious!"
Joseph seemed to want to speak but did not dare, and looked at Erica pitifully, apparently eager to quickly agree to the examination. More than ten years of ordinary life have come over, and he can be regarded as having a family and a business, and he definitely doesn't want to get involved in trouble.
The swordsman's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and he continued. "But rest assured, even if you are temporarily detained, we will still let you go when the grace is over, all we want is the consummation of the grace. ”
Seeing that the situation had become awkward, Bohr couldn't help but feel a little worried, and couldn't help but glance at Erica quietly. "Sister Ellie, what should I do?"
Erica's expression was as cold as ice.
If you want to say that the Holy See interferes in the affairs of Hanlin City, who is the most angry person in Hanlin City. If you don't count the city lord herself, then it must be her and Abigail! In an important city like Hanlin City, a religion dares to suppress the power of the city lord, what does it mean? Even the city lord himself can't control his own city, so what about the king who is far away in the royal capital?
If the power of religion is above the royal power, then whose world is Talir!? As the princess of the kingdom, how can Erica be calm when she sees such a thing!
But hearing the worry in Bohr's voice, Erica looked at the carriage behind her and couldn't help but be silent. After a while, she finally nodded. "Okay, you can check, but we'll report to the city lord. ”
"Feel free. The man said nonchalantly, glancing at the swordsmen behind him. "Hurry up and check! Don't delay these mercenary brothers from leaving the city. "A golden bead was taken out.
Erica couldn't help but be surprised. "Magic carving props!?"
"That's right, it's very easy to check, and it won't involve your privacy. We've just heard," the swordsman said lightly. "Believers with demons have infiltrated the city. ”
Although they knew that they were not referring to themselves, the four of them were swept away by this gaze, and they still couldn't help but feel cold. Joseph was even more unbearable, swept away by this look, and sat on the side of the car trembling.
"Just make sure you don't have demonic aura on you, then you're good to go. By the way, this is something that has just been collected from somewhere outside the city" The swordsman sneered a few times. "If anyone has the magic power that matches this breath, no matter how deep they hide, they will definitely be able to sense it. This magic bead has the magic cast by the archbishop, even if you burn yourself to ashes, you can't escape its detection!"
"If it lights up, it means that the subject must have an evil aura, and no matter who you are, we will protect the city on behalf of the Holy See. There was a murderous aura in the swordsman's voice, and Erica was facing him, and her face couldn't help but turn white on the spot - God knows how many souls there were under his sword!
"I believe that the demon, no matter how cunning he is, will not be able to escape from under the nose of the archbishop. ”
"Well, I wish you a smooth eradication of the demon," Bohr, who had experienced the life of a mercenary, calmed down first, bravely stood in front of Erica, and said. "We still want to get out of town this morning, please check it out. ”
Morey sat in the car with a blank face, and at this time his heart somehow calmed down. "It seems that I can't hide from it. ”
One third-order swordsman, six second-order swordsmen, the one at the front can't be seen. Feeling the inspection of the outside proceeding rapidly, a ray of fire quietly flashed from Morey's eyes.
The golden magic bead shook in front of Aaron, and the swordsman shook his head when he saw a flash of golden light suddenly light up on it. "No problem, next. ”
"Oh, all four of them have been checked?" he looked at the carriage with a strange look in his eyes. "Is there anyone else in the car?"
Aaron asked suspiciously when he heard this, but found that the windows were sealed. "What's the matter, Mr. Morey, it's your turn to check, and we'll leave when we're done." ”
"The one inside, what are you doing?" the swordsman knocked on the window, but the golden-patterned sword was quietly unsheathed and held tightly in his hand. "Hurry up and check it out!"
But there was still no movement.
The swordsman and the others looked at each other, nodded suddenly, and stared at the carriage deadly.
"If you don't come out, I'll go in. ”
The three of Erika also looked at each other, and they couldn't think of why Morey didn't come out - could it be that he fell asleep?
"By the way, he didn't seem to have slept all night yesterday, and now he probably did, right?" Bohr quickly stopped.
However, the swordsman did not listen to Bohr at all, but slammed his long sword at the curtain of the car! Erika and the others did not expect this swordsman to dare to do it directly, and they couldn't help but be angry in their hearts, knowing that Morey was their employer! But it was too late to stop it, and the curtain was picked up, revealing the sleepy people inside.
I saw Morey yawn, opened his sleepy eyes slightly, and asked blankly. "Uh, what's the matter, have you arrived at the hotel?"
"You're still in Hanlin City! We're going to do an inspection, and as long as it's okay, we'll let you out of the city." The swordsman couldn't help frowning when he saw Morey's lazy appearance, but then took the magic bead and came over.
Morey smiled slightly. "Okay, then check it out, right?"
The golden ball was placed directly on Morey's chest, and seeing that the swordsman's attention was all on the magic carving ball, Morey's eyes narrowed slightly, and the pseudo-magic pattern under the cowhide gloves was slightly distorted
The swordsman didn't see it, and at this time, the corners of the employer's mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a faint murderous intent!
