Chapter 143: Aftermath
The next day, martial law was imposed all over the city.
Hundreds of people were slaughtered throughout the church, which was an absolute big deal no matter what city it was. Although the city of Bicca is a multi-ethnic city, and there are many races who are dissatisfied with the Holy See, the status of the church is still exalted. This can be seen from the arrogance of the main priest Ah Erzuo. Something so big has happened, and it's no longer something that the city lord of Bika City can bear.
I took Alice and walked leisurely down the street. Because it was too chaotic outside, Filia and the others stayed at the inn, except Alice, because I had promised her yesterday that I would take her shopping, so I was dragged out alive.
Today's city is more solemn, but less prosperous. Except for some fixed shops, the itinerant vendors have disappeared, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets. Along the way, there were soldiers constantly staring at us, but perhaps because we were all dressed in fine clothes and showed a bearing on us, we were not like the others, constantly coming up for questioning.
"Brother, why don't we go to the church?" Alice, who has always liked to be lively, just walked for a while, and found it very boring, and suggested.
I smiled lightly: "What's so nice about the church, besides, it's heavily guarded and full of corpses, if you want to see it, then we'll go see it next time!"
"No, I don't! I'm going to see it now!" Alice said disagreeingly.
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, if Filia was here, maybe I could persuade Alice, but I was alone, but it was no problem, she would naturally be obedient in big things, but I had to be obedient in small things, otherwise, she is now becoming more and more coquettish **, but it is not so easy to accept. Still, there's nothing going on right now, and I'd like to know if the women in the dungeon have run away. I deliberately let them go without reminding them to escape, but I deliberately let them show the dark side of the church to the world, and the same is true of the Treasure Cabinet.
If you want to talk about this treasure pavilion, the wealth in it is great. Not to mention the boxes of gold coins, even the mid-to-high-level magic cores also put two whole boxes, as well as other jewelry, weapons and equipment, and countless others. I just picked out a few nice pieces of jewelry and took a dozen or so high-level magic cores. However, I think it's good jewelry, even if it's not an artifact, I'm afraid it's not much worse. The wealth there is so great that anyone who sees it will think that there must be something big wrong with it.
When I got to the outside of the church, it was exactly as I imagined, the church was full of soldiers, and even the gate was difficult to enter. Outside the gate, a large number of residents of the city gathered and were discussing.
"Did you hear that? All the priests and swordsmen guarding it were killed, even the chief priest died, is this true?"
"What bullshit, Lord Priest, haven't you heard that there is a dungeon in this church, and there are hundreds of beautiful women locked up in it, even the daughter of the blacksmith uncle next door to my house, and we all think that she is here to be a nun! What a pitiful girl! What a well-behaved girl, who has been ruined by them like this! I heard that all the girls who come to the church to be nuns will be spoiled by the priests, and if they are disobedient, they will be locked up! Last night, it was said that the God of Light was angry, so he sent down a divine punishment and killed all the people inside, including the girls who were locked up!" Yi looked at the church hatefully and said.
"What kind of divine punishment! It must be the chief priest Ah Erzuo who provoked some master, so they were all killed, and saving those girls was just by the way!"
"It must be divine punishment, otherwise, how could they not even see who saved them?"
"I really can't imagine that they are so presumptuous in such a sacred place as the church, but fortunately, when my daughter wanted to become a nun, I stopped her alive or dead, otherwise, I am afraid that she will also be ruined by those sanctimonious guys. Ding said luckily.
......
Hearing this, I was no longer interested in listening to it, although the people around me were talking about it, but not many people thought that it was the idea of the Holy See, and only thought that this priest had done something bad. However, no one here mentioned those hidden treasures, it seems that either they have not been discovered, or someone has hidden them privately, but, in my opinion, it is more likely to be privately hidden, and this person, ten likely, is the city lord.
However, none of this has anything to do with me, I did this easily, but I didn't intend to bring down the Holy See just like that, freezing three feet, not a cold, I just touched the face of the Holy See with some dust. As long as the Holy See still wants to rob my little feather, the contradictions between me and the Holy See will be irreconcilable, and I will be happy to cause them a little trouble.
Alice looked at the soldiers guarding the door boredly, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's so annoying, I can't see anything!"
I smiled wryly and shook my head, what did she want to see?
Seeing that she couldn't get in, Alice lost interest, and said in a loud voice: "Brother, it's so boring here, let's go back!"
Back at the inn, the three daughters of Philia were chatting, and when they saw us coming back, they were all surprised and said, "Why did you come back so soon?" but not for me, but for Alice.
Alice pursed her lips and said, "It's not fun outside at all, there are soldiers everywhere, and there are people staring at you even after walking a few steps, it's so boring!"
Phia looked at me with a smile and said, "Since there is nothing fun, why don't we leave now, and go early to see what Qinsi's home looks like, I haven't seen the elf's tree house yet!"
I chuckled and shook my head, and said, "Now that martial law is under martial law, I'm afraid it's not easy to get out of the city, but it will arouse suspicion, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"
Melina shook her head and said, "There is such a big thing, I'm afraid that this martial law will last for several days, do we really have to stay here for so long?"
Qin Si smiled: "Bika City is different from other cities, most of the income here depends on businessmen, martial law will have a great impact on the commercial activities of the entire city, so it is absolutely impossible to maintain it for long, perhaps, it will be accessible tomorrow!"
Melina: "I forgot that this is Sister Qinsi's land, I just don't know who was so bold as to kill the whole church!" said Melina, but her eyes turned around me.
Filia smiled at me and pursed her lips, "Who knows! Maybe they offended someone? I heard that there are hundreds of beautiful women imprisoned in the church, and one or two of them may have super strong relatives!"
Qinsi couldn't help but look at me deeply, with an inexplicable smile in her eyes. Perhaps, I don't know that I killed those people in the church and it was only Alice, right?
"Brother is so bad, don't take Alice with such fun things!" Alice said coquettishly.
Khan! Miscalculation, it turns out that she also knows.
I looked at them strangely and said, "Don't you wonder why I did that?"
Filia smiled and said, "Of course it's not surprising, if it weren't for the fact that you were meditating and didn't dare to make your own decisions, we would have killed that Ah Erzuo a long time ago." ”
Qin Si said: "If it weren't for the fear of causing a war between the elves and the Holy See, Ah Erzuo would have been killed by my people a long time ago, he is really too hateful." Not only is he usually arrogant and domineering, he has forcibly taken my people's property many times, and even beat the idea of our clansmen, if it weren't for the strength of our stay here is strong enough, some of our sisters would have been tainted by him!"
Alice also said hatefully: "That's it, that guy is so hateful, every time he comes, he stares at his mother and two sisters, and Alice wants to beat him!"
I was immediately relieved, with the temperament of Ah Erzuo's surname, it was naturally not surprising at all to do this, and it was not surprising that they hated it. But why doesn't Melina care at all that I'm against the Holy See?
Seeing me looking at her curiously, Melina said indifferently: "I'm not Sister Mengying, I don't have a good impression of the Holy See, and I don't believe in any god of light, what does it have to do with me to die a main sacrifice!"
"Mentor Mengying, does she have a good relationship with the Holy See?" I asked eagerly.
"Sister Mengying was originally a candidate saintess of the Holy See, but she was only sent by the cardinal to our academy as a mentor. However, this is also a secret, only a small number of tutors in the academy know about it, otherwise, knowing her identity, where would any students and tutors dare to pursue her? However, even my grandfather praised my eldest sister in the cultivation of light magic. Therefore, although the academy has never allowed the forces of the Holy See to enter, Grandpa still left Sister Mengying behind. Melina didn't think it was strange and said indifferently.
I immediately understood that if Mengying was really a member of the Holy See, then the news that I had the Bird of Paradise was told by her to the Holy See's higher-level officials. Thinking of the last time Meng Ying seemed to unintentionally inquire into the secrets of my cultivation, I couldn't help but shake my head.
If I hadn't accidentally learned about her relationship with the Holy See just now, I wouldn't have suspected her, perhaps, this is the advantage of a beautiful woman, right? After I discovered the Holy See's purpose, the first object of suspicion was the Light Law Saint of the Alliance Mercenary Regiment, but I didn't expect that if he revealed it, it would not be so long before the Holy See came to ask me for it. Thinking about it, the wise and gentle Mengying left a good impression on me, and subconsciously, I don't want her to be the one who reported to me!
