Chapter 523: The Two Missing

"It's useless for you to tell me about this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The proprietress was slightly surprised, shook her head and said, "By the way, the daughter of Grand Duke Santes, is Miss Niya with her adults? I have another message from the Empire here that needs to be handed over to Miss Niya." ”
"What message?" asked Nya eagerly before I could answer.
"This is Miss Nia, and this message is about a Miss Nilori. The proprietress understood and said, "She's missing." ”
"What?" Nya was startled, stood up and grabbed the proprietress and asked, "You said Nilori is missing?" Nilori is a former priest of the Star Mercenary Regiment, an orphan adopted by the Santes family, and has been like a sister to Nia since she was a child.
"Yes. A look of pain flashed on the proprietress and said, "The news came two days ago. I heard that the Lord and several ladies were in the Nikolasha Empire, so it reached my hands, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to tell Miss Niya. ”
"Two days ago?" I realize, if you add the consumption on the road, this incident should have happened three days ago, right? In other words, it should have been after we killed the five holy beasts and the sword god Hygru. It seems that the revenge of the Holy See is not as simple as spreading rumors on the mainland.
"Nia, let go, she can't handle the force of your hand. I grabbed Nia and said solemnly, "Is it just news? Is there anything else?" I was worried not only about a Nilori, but also about the Duke of Santes's family. If this is also part of the revenge of the Holy See, then it is not so simple.
"No more. The proprietress shook her head.
"And how did she go missing?" I asked indifferently as I reached out and put her on the back to soothe her.
"I don't know much about what's going on. However, it was supposed to have been taken away during the prayer in the church, but when the time came, it was impossible to find it. I just left a scroll, saying that I would not release him until Miss Nia came forward. ”
"We know the news, we have eaten the same meal, it's time to go. I said indifferently, and pulled Alice by the hand, and if I didn't leave, the little girl's resentment would be my turn to have a headache.
Philia didn't know that I was taking the opportunity to play, but she didn't want to be too strict with Alice, so she didn't care about herself. Although the hostess was full of hope that we would stay a little longer, she couldn't say anything.
"Brother Long, can you let me go back to the Ottoid Empire?" Nya remained silent all the way until she returned to the inn where she lived. After receiving such news, we naturally lost interest in playing.
"Do you know why you have to come forward to release people?" I said lightly.
"Their purpose should be me, or simply you, Brother Long. Although Niya's surname is big and varied, it doesn't mean that she doesn't have any thoughts, it's just that she doesn't bother to think about it.
"Do you think you can really rescue Nilori if you return to the Ossian Empire?" I asked.
"This ......" Niya hesitated, now she didn't even know who the opponent was, and everything she said was false. It's just that she and Nilori have always been like sisters, and it's really uncomfortable to know that something happened to her but didn't help.
"So, if you go to the Ottoid Empire, you won't go alone. Phia chuckled, "How could Xiao Tian be willing to let you take the risk?"
"Eldest sister, don't you say it!" Nia Mei's eyes were full of brilliance, and she said coquettishly: "People want to hear what Brother Long says himself!"
I smiled wryly and shook my head, she knew! In fact, I couldn't leave Nia alone for whatever reason. After capturing Nilori but looking for Niya, the other party's goal is naturally clear. Since I'm looking for Nia, whether it's her or me in the end, it's no different to me. But before I can do that, I have to do something else.
"Hehe, it turns out that the fourth sister wants to hear Xiaotian say it herself? Then how can I do something bad with good intentions? Filia teased. Still, I noticed a deep worry in her eyes.
Of course, I know why she's worried, and if it's really the Holy See's hands this time, then they're definitely not just targeting Nia. Among the people around her, Melina's only relative, Dean Siskaya, has a transcendent identity, and he is full of peach and plums, even the Holy See does not dare to offend easily. Sister Camilla, like Mr. and Mrs. Roger, has no relatives, so naturally there is nothing to worry about. Although Qinsi has a lot of relatives, if she wants to go to the territory of the elves to arrest people, probably no one can do it. The only thing to worry about is probably Filia. After a slight groan, I gave a few commands, and I left the hotel alone.
Listening to the news, the best choice is naturally the Thieves' Guild, which can be bought for money from small locations infested by low-level magical beasts to insider information about the war. However, I have a better choice.
Walking around the mercenary area of the city, I smiled when I noticed a strange tree figure carved into the corner of the wall, this is the place I was looking for. When I left the Alliance City, Captain Hans told me about the logo of the Alliance Mercenary Regiment's intelligence organization and gave me an offering token. With this, I can find secret intelligence points for the Alliance mercenary group in most cities.
Pushing the door directly in, I also took the door with my backhand, and it naturally felt like I was at my own home.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" asked a very ordinary-looking civilian man who didn't seem to know martial arts and magic after making sure he didn't know me.
"I'd like to have some news. I smiled and shook the token in front of him.
"It turned out that the worship lord had arrived. The man's expression changed and he said solemnly. "Whatever you need, I'll be able to gather right away. ”
"I wonder if anything unusual has happened in the last five days in the palace of Duke Jesse in ancient Cassia and the palace of Marshal Santes in Osterle?" I asked with a smile. For the sake of safety, I still moved the time forward by two days.
"It takes half a day. The man thought for a while, and replied solemnly, "I don't know, where does Lord Worship need us to send the news?"
"Can't you get it now?" I was a little surprised.
"Of course. The man said funny: "There are so many things happening on the mainland every day, how can we keep abreast of them at any time, I am only responsible for what is happening in this small city and this area." Therefore, if you want to find the information that the worship elders need, I only need to relay your request to your person in charge, and I don't need to interfere in other matters at all. ”
"I see. I nodded with relief, a one-line contact is indeed a good way to keep secrets. "Then just send the information to the hotel where I am, I live in ...... By the way, it's best to send me a copy of all the major events that have happened in the Duke's Palace in the past six months. ”
"Okay, in half a day, the message will arrive. After the man had carefully written it down, he respectfully escorted me out of the door.
The efficiency of the alliance mercenary group is really high, and in less than half a day after returning to the hotel, the news has been delivered to me. It's just that, looking at the thick stack in front of me, it's hard for me to imagine that so many things can happen in Duke Jesse's Mansion these days.
"Xiao Tian, what is this?" said Philia curiously.
"Information from the Alliance Mercenary Regiment. I explained, "By the way, let's see if there's anything strange." ”
"Xiaotian, you ......" After only reading a few copies, Filia already understood my plan, and her eyes suddenly became a little cowardly.
"Look, hell knows who lives in your daddy's house, and that's what happened in five days. I interrupted her with a wry smile and said depressedly.
"A family, what's strange about such a little information. Filia had long been accustomed to the impression I gave her, and quickly calmed down, and said, "I'll take a look, these, these, well... And all of these can be ignored, we just need to look at the information in it. "Knowing my purpose, she immediately categorized the information, and quickly cut out more than half of it.
Actually, I don't need this job at all, there are so many people in Filia, and they have already checked the information in just a while. Originally, these were all about Duke Jesse's mansion, and I didn't plan to let others look at it, after all, there are some things that still need to be avoided. But Filia insisted that everyone was a family, and it was nothing to know, so the matter was quickly done. However, it was also an eye-opener. Take Phocas, who made me feel quite strange at the beginning, for example, he actually had more than 20 wives and concubines, plus the maids of the waiters, etc., and the total number of people was more than 100, which really made me have to marvel.
"Xiaotian, Edward was also taken away by the Holy See. The results came out quickly, and Filia said with some frustration.
"Is it the same as Nilori?" I asked, frowning.
"It's not missing. Filia shook her head and said, "Instead, she met the new archbishop in the church, and was forcibly taken away, saying that he was the best candidate to be the Holy Son, and the time was also three days ago." ”
"What bullshit Holy Son, don't you just want to study and find out the reason for the great improvement in his physique. I said angrily. The shamelessness of the Holy See is really underestimated. "Then did your father make any moves?"
"My father led people to surround the church that day, but unfortunately because the king stopped him, he didn't even rush in. After a day's delay, the archbishop actually disappeared with Edward, and should have rushed to the Holy Mountain. Filia said distressedly.
