Chapter Ninety-Two: Esther's Plans

As the saying goes, if the cunning rabbit dies, then the fate of the hound will not be much better, and Esther can already guess that his identity will be exposed sooner or later after the nine Divine Punishment Knights and Ascetics have failed, and if he returns to Araskey at this time, it will really be tantamount to looking for death!

Whether it is the Temple of Life or the Temple of the Sun for their so-called interests, I am afraid that they do not want to exist, I have been deceived for so many years, she really knows everything inside the temple too well, then, as a traitor whose strength is only a middle-level knight and at the same time has taken the initiative to abandon the divine arts, hiding is her only choice.

It may also be because she has been a spy for a long time, Esther still has a lot of experience in how to hide herself, for example, she chose to stay in Zemas at this time, this seemingly dangerous place, I'm afraid no one would have thought that she would stay here, of course, she did this just to confuse the people who might be chasing her, staying here for the rest of her life is not what she thinks, just like now, Esther put down the newspaper in her hand, because of caution, she has always tried to reduce the number of times she goes out, It also delayed her access to the newspaper where the Temple of the Sun shook hands with the Temple of Life by several days.

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Esther knew that her plan to escape from Britain could begin, after all, she didn't want to go on like this forever.

The first is the Char Empire, the kingdom of the unbelievers, although there are also branches of the Sun Temple and the Temple of Life, but because there are few people who believe in them, the influence of the divine right in that country is the weakest, and it is said that each temple will generally send those clergy who are not valued to that place, anyway, it is just a name.

The second is Sin City, but Esther doesn't know much about Sin City, only knows that it is ruled by a very powerful and low-key necromancer, and the people gathered there are villains, hooligans, killers, mercenaries, anyway, there will be no good people, and its geographical location is very special, the necromancer built the city under a huge swamp surrounded by mountains in the southernmost part of the entire Faren continent in order to stay away from humans, So it's also the only place in the world of Feren that doesn't have a temple.

"Even if it is the kingdom of the unbelievers, even if the influence of the divine power is minimized, there will still be people from the temple," Esther muttered a few words to herself, and then made up her mind and decided to go to Sin City, "Although you can't take any means of transportation in order to conceal, you can only rely on your foot strength, but with the strength of your middle-level knights, if you go out day and night, it is estimated that you will be able to get there in a month! Anyway, this matter has passed, I believe that even if I jump out and hype it up now, no one will believe it, Then this kind of benefit is whether it is the Sun Temple or the Life Temple, as long as they don't take the initiative to appear in front of their eyes, I believe they won't waste extra energy to hunt down themselves."

As the saying goes, time waits for no one, stay in Britain for one more minute, then you are still in danger, so after Esther made up her mind, she began to pack her bags, not much with her, just a set of clean clothes, a pair of shoes, and at most a bunch of underwear, which almost occupied most of the position in this bag.

After all, she is also a woman, and she absolutely can't accept such a thing as wearing an underwear for a month, as for the golden armor, she has already been thrown away! At this time, she was dressed in linen clothes that ordinary adventurers often wear, and she casually hung a long sword around her waist, and carried a small bag on her back, obviously she had decided to set off now!

Esther took a deep breath and glanced at the place where she had been hiding for more than half a month, nothing was missing, and there was no information left to prove her identity, in fact, she herself was a little tired of this kind of life a long time ago, for her who has been in contact with the dark side of the temple, it is basically difficult to believe in such a thing as God, after all, she is not a fanatical believer!

At first, I joined the temple just to hope for a better life, but in his position, I can't just walk if you want to, and now I have such an opportunity to get out of the sea of suffering, which more or less makes Esther feel like she has been reborn.

In the silence of the night, Esther gently opened the door to the house, and then the smile that came to her face stiffened because she was about to be reborn, because in the doorway, she saw the last person she wanted to see, Rantus Farrell.

"You were changing your clothes just now, I just wanted to wait for you to finish changing your clothes before going in, although I don't have much interest in the body of the female surname, but I also have to have basic respect. ”

"Smack!" Esther's bag fell to the ground, and a trace of despair flashed on her face, obviously in front of this oracle-level archbishop, she would not have any chance to escape, not even a chance to commit suicide.

----------------------------------------------------

"This is where the nine Divine Punishment Knights died," Esther, with her bags on her back and torches in her hand, said with a look of resignation as she reached out and pointed to Lantes, who was walking beside her.

After thinking about it all the way, she figured out one thing, as an archbishop, it was unlikely that she would come and arrest her directly, because the first was a matter of identity, the temple sent a district leader to arrest a small mid-level knight for her, and Esther didn't think she had that much charm.

In one, that is, the archbishop as an oracle of the gods can not leave the temple easily, although most of the time the archbishop is fine, but that is a default rule! So, the only explanation is that for some reason, the archbishop came out secretly, so he may still have a chance to live.

Lantes didn't seem to care about these little ninety-nine in Esther's heart, but leaned down and squatted in front of the land that had no traces, and touched the ground with his hand, "It seems that that guy is also a very careful person!"

Lantes could feel that the soil on this land was newer than the surrounding places, and it was obvious that the mage had cut off a layer of the surface here when he left, especially after more than half a month, even the slightest hint of spell fluctuations was gone, and there was no way to know what spell he had released here!

"Bang~Bang~" Lantes clapped his hands, "Do you know where the ascetic died?"

"It looks like it's on a mountain a few kilometers away from here."

Under the light of the fire, the tomb at the mouth of the cave halfway up the mountain was very conspicuous, there was no tombstone, only a dirt bag, obviously this should be the grave of the ascetic who died here.

"Strange man," Lantes waved at Esther behind her, "Let's go and have a look in the cave."

"As expected," after walking around, Lantes sighed slightly, there was no trace of anything in the cave except for the broken walls left by the fight, "It seems that the only clue is the corpse, what a cautious guy."

"Gollum," Esther swallowed, "Lord Bishop, are you sure I want to dig up this grave?"

Lantes took out a shovel commonly used by civilians from the spatial ring and handed it to Esther, "I stole it on the way here, of course I'm sure, or do you think you have what it takes to bargain with me?"

"No, no," Esther snapped and threw away the bag she was carrying behind her back, took the shovel and began to dig the grave, but secretly, she had begun to hold her breath, it was very simple, even if it was winter, it seemed to her that more than half a month had passed, and the corpse had at least begun to decompose.

After Esther bulldozed the top dirt bag, she continued to dig down, thinking that she would dig out a bone with a spade or something, but who knows if the ascetic's body would remain intact against that perverted mage!

The result was beyond her expectations, and at the same time to Lantes's surprise, when Esther dug open the entire tomb, what appeared in front of the two of them was not a rotting corpse, but a crystal clear ice cube, the ice cube wrapped in the body of the ascetic, Lantes brought the torch close to the ice crystal, and the magic circle engraved on the ascetic's chest could be vaguely seen, "Really" Lanster rarely showed a wordless look, "Strange mage!"

Obviously, the mage didn't want the ascetic's body to decay, so he deliberately set up an ice-based magic array to protect the ascetic's corpse, Esther looked at the magic crystal embedded in the ascetic's corpse through the ice crystal, and couldn't help pouting, "Is this mage really too rich to spend it?" This magic crystal is worth at least a few hundred gold coins!"

"Take it," Lantes handed the torch to Esther, and his two hands gathered some light slightly, which looked like it should be the Sun Magic, and then he pulled his hands slightly, and the ten fingers were connected in pairs, and five rays appeared, and the light squeaked when it touched the ice, and the ice was not melted, but directly vaporized, and you can imagine how high the temperature of this light was.

"Bang!" When the ice was almost cut, Lantes put away the sun god technique, and gently tapped the ice with his fist a few times, and finally the ascetic's body completely leaked out, because of the long time of death and the relationship between the ice, the ascetic was covered in a miserable white color, coupled with the pair of eyes that had been pierced and blinded, and the silent environment around him, there was indeed some infiltrating feeling, of course, as the archbishop, Lantes could not be afraid of these, but was very serious about examining the body.

"There are six wounds on the body, the back of the neck, the forehead, the eyes, and the chest, and the one on the left side of the heart should be fatal! This couldn't help but make Lancet a little suspicious, "Could it be that the woman named Kyle is hiding her strength?

But then this somewhat illogical idea was extinguished by him, and according to these wounds, the ascetic's defenses were gradually disintegrating, and Lantes knew more about it than Don Quixote, who knew almost nothing about ascetics.

For example, he knew very well that such an injury would not be possible for an ascetic with the means of possessing an air membrane and a golden light body, so the only explanation was that the mysterious mage had some kind of means to break through the ascetic's defenses!

Not only that, but with the ascetic's powerful hand-to-hand combat ability, even if he loses his defensive ability, he can't be blinded!, so that mage should also have the ability to restrict people's movements!" Strange, powerful, cautious mage, indeed a difficult opponent!"

"Bury him," Lantes waved his hand, and the ice around him and the body of the ascetic were blown back into the grave.

"Oh," Esther handed the torch to Lantes again, reaching out to pull out the crystal from the ascetic's chest, but Lantes stopped her, "what are you doing here?"

"Rather than let it go to waste here, you might as well leave it to me."

"Do you think you'll survive?"

"Of course."

"Why?" Lantes looked at Esther with a smile and a curious look.

"At least you didn't stop me with my bag, and if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't do that!"

"Clever little girl~ But don't move that magic crystal, anyway, I hired him, so let's leave him a whole corpse~"
