Chapter 5 A Tragic Life
"Lord Rice, I have searched all the places above the mountainside, and there is no figure of His Highness the Holy Son, do you want to expand the scope of your search?"
"Do you need to ask, search the Holy Mountain in an all-round way!" Les's unkind tone made the knight who reported the news shudder, and hurriedly retreated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info now Les desperately wants the Holy Son to find a place to hide and be lazy, and the miscalculation of the location of the Holy Son makes him very uneasy, and the people who monitor the ghost have not yet discovered how the news is transmitted, so there is no way to find the mastermind behind it. If something really happens to the Holy Son, it will be very bad.
The irritable Les longed to go in search of the Son like the little nun named Elaine, but reason told him that he needed someone to sit in the center and direct the transfer.
"No matter what, the safety of the Holy Son is of paramount importance. Les muttered, waved his hand to a close knight on the side, and ordered: "You take someone to take down the inner ghost and torture him severely, I want to know who is behind him! ”
The holy mountain is not open today, but there are still many pious pilgrims kneeling in the direction of the mountain on the street at the foot of the mountain, and the whole street does not seem empty.
After giving the knights an ugly smile, Eren spread his tired legs and rushed down the flat road below.
Soon after, Allen, who had finally completed his descent down the mountain, walked on a flat avenue, tired and completely unaware that he had been followed by several ill-intentioned people around him. Alan knew that he couldn't stop and rest at this time, but he really didn't have the strength to continue running, so he decided to slow down and regain his strength.
At this moment, a huge bell rang from the holy mountain behind him, this time is definitely not the time when the bell should ring, Alan turned his head strangely, and saw that the knights at the foot of the holy mountain who had just greeted him were like great enemies, and when Alan just wanted to ask about the situation, a sack came to him as a hood, and then he was hit the back of the neck, and fell into a coma again. Poor Alan's last thought before he fell unconscious was "Bad luck, faint again." ”
After several people put Allen in a sack, they carried the sack and turned into an alley. And the holy mountain did not know what was happening, and the knights who were in a panic did not notice that His Highness the Holy Son was taken away right under their noses, and a young knight remembered Allen, who was sweating profusely just now, and said: "Nine bells, the highest alarm, will not be related to His Highness the Holy Son." ”
An elderly knight on the side said, "Worry, even if His Highness the Holy Son sneaks out of the Holy Mountain, there is no need to use such a high-level alarm. Then he was a little worried, "I don't know what happened on the holy mountain." ”
Hearing the alarm, Uriah, the head of the Mountain Guardian Knights, who had just arrived, heard the conversation between the two knights, and hurriedly asked, "His Royal Highness the Holy Son came out of the mountain just now?"
"Yes, just a little before the alarm bells rang. The young knight hurriedly replied.
Uriah looked back at the street, and on the wide pilgrimage avenue, many pilgrims were in a panic because of the sound of the bells, and the shadow of the Son could not be found in the crowd.
Uria frowned, and instructed the young knight: "Lehman, you go to His Highness the Holy Son and bring His Highness back, now the situation is unknown, and you can't let His Highness run around." ”
The young knight Lehman looked at the chaotic pilgrimage avenue, took the errand with a bitter face, and then entered the crowd and began to try to find His Highness the Holy Son, who had long since disappeared.
Before you know it, the sun has begun to set to the west, and darkness will soon take over the land. As if corresponding to the sky, there was a dead silence in the Holy See Temple, where Pope Edward IV, the Grand Priest Manto, Rice, Elaine, and Uria hurried up the mountain were concentrated.
Edward IV frowned, Manto looked angry, Rice was depressed, and Elaine stared at Rice with tears in her murderous eyes. Only Uriah didn't know why, but after the mountain was closed, he hurried up to the mountain to inquire about the situation, and after the Pope casually said that the Holy Son had left the scope of the Holy Mountain, the temple fell into this strange situation.
Uriah twisted his body uneasily, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what is the matter of sealing off the Holy Mountain? Before I went up the mountain, there were still many pilgrims gathered at the bottom of the mountain to wait for news, and there were rumors that you had passed away. ”
Edward IV glanced at Uriah and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, the blockade will be lifted, you can explain to the believers under the mountain and let them disperse." ”
"Ahhh Uriah was confused, but the atmosphere here also made him not ask too much, and hurriedly went down the mountain again. "What a hard work!" Uriah sighed as she looked at the long steps of the mountain road.
After Uriah left, the angry Manto immediately stood up, "What are you doing sitting there, immediately block the Holy City and search the whole city!"
"Don't be so impatient, Manto. Edward IV spoke, his brow furrowed even more, but his voice remained calm, "Rice, is there anything new about you?"
Les came back to his senses and said, "The situation is very bad, and there is no news from that person's mouth yet." ”
Edward IV paused and asked, "Is it possible that the other party did not act, and the Holy Son is still safe now?"
"It's very unlikely, His Majesty the Pope. Les, who had been hit by the huge blow, seemed to have recovered and calmly analyzed, "The other party must have received information, it is unlikely that this opportunity will be missed, and I have already sent someone to the Holy City Cathedral, if the Holy Son arrives there, my men will immediately send the Holy Son back safely." ”
After hearing this, Manto looked disdainful, and he said to the Pope: "Your Majesty, the other party's purpose is very clear, that is, to ask for the life of the Holy Son, they will not negotiate terms with us, so we must send people to find His Royal Highness the Holy Son, otherwise once the Holy Son falls into the hands of the other party, there will definitely be no way to live." ”
When Elaine heard this, she couldn't help but be even more worried, and she didn't want Les to sing the opposite tune again.
"Hmph, does Priest Manto think that there is not enough chaos today, and how much commotion will be caused by the blockade of the whole city. Not to mention how many people are needed to search the whole city, and how can you ensure that these people are reliable!"
Elaine couldn't take it anymore, and she shouted, "It's not because of you! I think you have never cared about the safety of the Holy Son!"
"If it weren't for worrying about the Holy Son, I wouldn't have ordered the mountain to be closed!" Les had been holding his breath for an afternoon, and it was rare that he had lost patience with the beauty.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, Edward IV slapped the table and shouted: "Don't quarrel, let you solve the problem, not let you quarrel!
After the three of them sat down, Edward IV spoke again: "This matter should not be expanded, Manto, you will supervise all the people who saw the Holy Son leaving the mountain today, and do not let them spread the news." Elaine, you have found a way to create the illusion that the Son is in the Holy See. Les, you're in charge of getting the Son back!"
Seeing that the three of them seemed to have something to say, Edward IV said, "Needless to say, this is an order! ”
Elaine had no choice but to put her emotions in her heart and left the temple with Priest Manto to carry out the order.
Edward IV looked at Les, who did not move, it seems that today's events have a great impact on this undefeated man, but this is also a warning to him, Edward IV knows that the success has made Les a little arrogant, and the same as his evaluation of Allen, in fact, Les himself treats many things as a game.
"Les, can I still trust you this time?"
"I will bring back His Highness the Son, His Majesty the Pope. ”
Soon, the temple fell silent again. Pope Edward IV sighed, he knew that he had been too merciful over the years, and the Holy See had indeed become a mixture of dragons and snakes, after all, he himself would be skeptical of the oracle about the Son back then, as a religious leader, this was a very undesirable thing, but ......
Edward IV couldn't help but remember the secrets he had known when he succeeded to the throne, and also recalled everything that God-King Augsig had told him. "If the Holy Son returns safely this time, let's clean the inside of the Holy See!" Edward IV secretly made up his mind, and all he could do now was wait.
Leaving the temple, Les entered a basement filled with cells, but all but one were now empty.
As Les walked to the door of the cell, he saw a man hanging in the air, with no place left on his body, and a knight was whipping him with a salted whip.
"Still won't speak?"
"Lord Rice, this man is very hard, he has used all kinds of tricks, he just won't speak. ”
Les stared at the man, as if sensing something, and opened his eyes to look at Rice.
"Haha, don't be delusional, I won't say it! But the master is afraid that he has succeeded, you just wait to collect the body of that fool! Oh, by the way, he doesn't seem to be a fool now!hahahaha......"
Unmoved, Les took out a blue potion from his pocket and handed it to the knight beside him.
"Feed him. ”
The knight recognized what was in Rice's hand and asked, "Lord Rice, this ......?"
"Everything has me!"
After a few moments, Les walked out of the basement, his face gloomy, and he shouted, "Inform all the Brilliant Knights to assemble and follow me to the Cathedral of the Holy City!"
......
Alan opened his eyes, wanted to cry without tears, fainted three times in two days, is there a more unlucky time-traveler than himself?
"You're awake. A gentle voice rang in my ears. Alan found himself tied to a pillar, and when he looked sideways, the first thing that came into view was the familiar robes. Alan slowly raised his head and saw a face he didn't recognize.
"His Highness the Son may not know me anymore, so introduce myself to the Bishop of the Lower Augsgro Church, Saladin. Saladin looked at Alan with a smile as if he were looking at a prey.
"Ah, I'm glad I am, Bishop Saladin, I don't know why you're tying me here?"
