Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 79 The Cloak of Invisibility
Russell heard Bishop Vane's request and asked, "Bishop, what do you need me to do in the meeting place?"
When Bishop Vane heard this, he began to assign Russell the tasks that he needed to complete.
"Marquis de Reid is not a suspicious nobleman, but he is not a fool either.
The meeting was held in the conference hall of the Royal Diplomatic Building, so the Marquis of Red, who was in charge of foreign affairs, also had his office in this building, and there were many secrets that only the Marquis of Red knew. ”
Russell immediately understood the meaning of the bishop's words,
"Do you mean to let me enter Marquis Red's office and search for clues about Francis' transformation into a man-eating monster and Ed's mysterious death?
I can sneak in there, but the Marquis of Red is a powerful man, and there must be many guards guarding him outside his office, so it won't be easy for me to get into the room!"
Bishop Vane laughed: "We are lucky, according to what I learned from the informants in the Guard,
Marquis Red, in consideration of the envoys of the Wizards' Association, who had come to inquire about the crime, deliberately transferred the guards who had been guarding various places in the diplomatic building to the vicinity of the conference hall.
Marquis Red was very confident in his defenses, but he didn't expect us to investigate his room at this time.
So the number of guards guarding outside Marquis Red's office will be greatly reduced.
And an ordinary knight cathar sneaking out of the conference hall will not attract attention!"
Russell thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Even if most of the guards are taken away, there must be some guards guarding near the office, and I can't sneak into the room alone!"
"I've been thinking about this for a long time!" Bishop Vane motioned to Russell not to worry too much, "the church has a cloak that has been passed down for many years, a treasure given to me by the goddess of grain when the church was founded, and as one of the bishops of the church, I still have the right to use the cloak.
The cloak hides your figure and makes it difficult for others to notice your presence, and with this cloak you can safely enter the Marquis of Red's office.
Just in case, I'll have people disguise themselves outside the building to create a conflict and attract the attention of the guards as much as possible!"
Hearing Bishop Vane's confidence, Russell, who was a subordinate of the bishop, could only agree to his plan, after all, the church took out the treasures to provide convenient conditions for itself, and Russell also understood the importance that the church attached to this mission.
Therefore, Russell directly accepted the task of Bishop Vane, and now the situation is becoming more and more unstable, if he can eliminate the factors that threaten the security of the Heka Kingdom, it will also be beneficial for Russell to himself.
If Russell wants to find a return to his original world, he needs a stable environment.
A few days passed quickly, and soon Russell heard the news that the mission of the Wizards' Guild was going to hold a meeting with the Heka Kingdom.
According to the previous agreement with the bishop, Russell immediately got up and went to the center of the temple, Russell was still somewhat familiar with this place, when he first came to the church, it was here that he was separated from Betty, and the huge staircase that rotated up and ran through the entire central temple from the bottom still amazed Russell.
"Knight Chief Russell, Bishop Vane has asked me to bring you something. ”
An old-fashioned voice came from above Russell's head, breaking Russell's thoughts.
Russell looked up and saw that it was a sound coming from the stairs.
An old man with gray hair but full of energy walked slowly down the stairs, wearing a peculiar white robe that did not feel like the costume of a clergyman or a knight, but Russell noticed that the old man had a badly worn sword hanging from his waist.
The old man was very tall, even Russell was a head shorter than him, and the old man looked down at Russell for a long time without saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just as Russell was about to ask, the old man suddenly sighed: "It is not the style of that fellow Vane to give the treasure given by the goddess to such a young man, but since he has spoken, I will give you this cloak."
Your name is Russell, right? You must return the cloak in one piece!"
With that, the old man stretched out his hands, but there was nothing in his hands, as if he had just handed the air.
"This 。。。。。。 ”
Russell was a little strange when he saw this, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to ask helplessly: "This old man, what do you want to give me, why can't I see anything?"
The old man frowned when he heard this, and explained: "Didn't Vane tell you, this cloak can hide your figure, if the cloak can be seen by you at will, then what is the effect of stealth?"
Then the old man reached out and put the cloak on Russell's arm, and Russell suddenly felt his arm sink, as if a furry garment was on his hand, and sure enough, as Bishop Vane said, this cloak has the ability to be invisible!
"Be careful, even though the cloak can hide your movements, the sound you make is still there, I don't know what you need the cloak for, but you must send the cloak back to me!"
After saying these words, the old man turned and walked up the stairs, and after a while, Russell could not see his back.
Before leaving the temple, Russell looked back at the top of the temple, and sure enough, as he expected, the church was hiding unknown secrets at the top of the temple.
Perhaps in the temple, there is a way to return to one's own world!
With this in mind, Russell tied his cloak to his back, mounted his horse in full armor, and joined the Church of the Goddess of Cereals to attend the meeting.
