Chapter 64: Assassination
The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of murder, but it is also suitable for a tryst with a lover. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
McCree changed into an ordinary aristocratic robe, and with a little disguise, he looked like a nobility who could be seen everywhere, and no one would recognize him as the priest of Ainosk Cathedral.
Although a tryst with a lover is not a big deal, it is still necessary as a fig leaf for the clergy, not to mention that the tryst with him is a baroness, and it is better not to provoke the stupid nobles in this sensitive period, but he really can't resist the stimulating temptation of a tryst with a baroness.
Walking slowly down the deep alleys, McCree was a little anxious to put on the baron's green hat, and he unconsciously quickened his pace at the thought of the wonderful carcass.
However, he did not know that he was not leading to a wonderful tryst, but to a heavenly kingdom of judgment.
A white figure jumped like a ghost on the ledge of the roof of the house, and without making a sound, approached the disguised Father McRae, with its eagle-like pupils as if watching the dying prey.
In the silent alley, only the sound of Father McRae's own footsteps, step by step, seemed to step on his own heart, and the inexplicable palpitations made Father McRae's breath become short, he was only a non-military clergyman, who was usually responsible for officiating weddings, praying for the dying, confession, and performing exorcisms.
In the face of the inexplicable horror of this dark silence, Father McRae hurriedly quickened his pace, and as long as he crossed this alley, he reached the back door of the courtyard of the tryst, where guards would be waiting for him.
"Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, and be not afraid or dismayed, for your God will be with you wherever you go. ā
Whispering the scriptures, Father McRae's trembling body gradually calmed down and his steps became steady, but just as he was about to cross the alley, his heart settled, a barely audible wind appeared above him.
A white figure descended from the sky, and the whole person was like a swooping falcon showing its cold claws, and pierced the sharp hidden blade in his hand into the priest's heart, and the huge force knocked the priest to the ground, and blood stained his robe.
The Assassin crouched down, drew a cross in front of him, and whispered, "May the Father forgive you for your sins and guide you to His kingdom." ā
Blood continued to spill out of his mouth, but the priest who had returned to the light still stared at the other party's face under the white hood with wide eyes, and said intermittently, "Kill...... Clergy...... Yours...... Sin will ...... Not to be forgiven!"
The white-clad assassin gently closed the priest's dead eyes and turned to disappear into the darkness.
"Even if we are unable to go to the kingdom of God, we will firmly carry out the judgment of judgment and judge the blasphemers who seek to steal God's authority, and the light of God will shine again on the whole world. ā
"Our Father in heaven: Hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven......"
......
Early the next morning.
After a whole night of thinking and weighing repeatedly, Bai Huang still decided to choose to take the land route, after all, the waterway was too dangerous for him, not to say the danger of sailing, but in case of accidental overboard, it would be the consequence of a catastrophe.
After all, have you ever seen a skeleton that can swim? No matter how well you can hit the water and paddle the water, it won't help, because you can't float at all! Bai Huang thought that if he accidentally fell into the water, he would not be able to drown, and then he could only walk along the riverbed, and if he didn't meet the shallows, maybe he would walk into the sea, and experience the real sea bottom for 20,000 miles, and then go all the way to the end of the world.
It's scary to think about, okay!
Since you choose to go by land, then follow the advice of the little boy and go to the guild to see if there is a quest along the way, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose my way in the wild if I am not familiar with the land.
Compared with the large-scale mercenary group, Bai Huang still chose the Adventurer's Guild. Generally speaking, adventurers pay attention to individual or small team actions, the number of people does not exceed ten, and most of the tasks of the guild are to explore the wild or ruins, find materials or hunt monsters, etc. The mercenary group has dozens or hundreds of people at every turn, and often takes over the task of exterminating robbers or participating in military operations, and some notorious mercenary groups themselves are like robbers, often covering their body signs, covering their faces, and casually shouting "I opened this mountain" jargon.
Bai Huang came to the Adventurer's Guild in the center of the city early, and after paying the fee of five silver coins, he became a "bronze-level" adventurer, with no team affiliation, and the registered profession was a low-level swordsman.
The adventurer's guild Bai Huang is still the first time to come, and naturally there is a sense of novelty, but in addition to not being so noisy, it feels like a tavern here, because it came very early, there are not many people in the guild, sitting at the round table in twos and threes and chatting, mostly talking about some interesting things in the adventure, and it is still rare for a rookie like Bai Huang to be pink and tender.
Bai Huang stood in front of the third task bar of the exclusive bronze and black iron, tilting his head and carefully looking for the relevant escort tasks, but most of the dense tasks were some trivial tasks such as sending letters and running errands and collecting materials, and some escort tasks were also going south or east, it seemed that the wilderness in the west really scared off many people.
Bai Huang looked at it twice from beginning to end and still didn't find any related quests, so he had to leave information about the direction he wanted to go to Salos City, so that if there were relevant quests that suited him, the guild would also give priority to recommending himself to the other party.
Out of the guild, Bai Huang began to wander around idly again, leaving Christina's side, he realized the loneliness of belonging to the undead, not only lost the fun of being a living person, but most importantly, he was at a loss now, he didn't know what he should do at all, and he couldn't even do the most mundane things like eating and waiting for death, and it really made the skeleton feel sad when he thought about it.
Bai Huang's only thought now is to return to the kingdom of Brute, the only place that will make him feel that he still has the need to exist, and only there will make him click and fan his mandible.
After going around and around, Bai Huang, who had been shopping for a long time, came to the Adventurer's Guild again in the afternoon, and two pieces of news surprised and delighted him.
Happily, he finally received an escort mission to the city of Salos, but to his surprise, one of the priests in the city was assassinated, and the sheriff ordered the whole city to be locked down and began to search for the assassins.
PS: In order to distinguish between the war position, there are priests and priests in this book, which is not consistent with the concept in reality, so I would like to remind you.
