Chapter 251: Restless Overture
Brother Vaddin's friends proved to be reliable in their sources, and the upper echelons were indeed in a somewhat strange state of indecision.
They didn't get the feedback they received as much as they normally would, and things didn't stop there.
The presiding judge returned impatiently, complaining that there was no point in wasting time at the long table, and that they needed something more practical.
Instead of letting him fight with a group of bishops who didn't even dare to look at the corpses, it was better to talk with the destroyed pagan strongholds and the evidence gained, and then naturally there would be nothing to argue about.
Green was given an almost explicit hint that he could continue to do what he was supposed to do, as long as he didn't make too much of a fuss.
As for what it means to "make too much noise", there is no clear standard, but it definitely includes the sudden loss of a dozen monks overnight, and it is impossible to explain it again in any way.
This means that they need to use their powers more carefully, reducing the size of their teams and shortening their exploration time. Correspondingly, this requires more reliable candidates.
It must be taken into account that the last rainy night emergency had a terrible impact, no less than any vicious battle with heavy casualties, and some people may not be able to enter the sewers again in the short term, and it is not even appropriate to stay underground.
And there were only two reliable and capable men left, Brother Wadine and Grimm himself, plus a few monks whose faith, courage, or reason had stood the test. That was enough for Green, and Heavenly Father had screened out those who needed them in his trials.
All they had to do was get ready to take the men to the pagan lair and make them realize that the sewers wouldn't be a bulwark to protect them, no matter how paradoxical they were.
Like the presiding judge, he was happy to start the search immediately, after all, no one knew when the next rainy day would come and how long it would last.
But before jumping into the wet and cold waterways without looking back, there are still things to be sorted out on the partner's side.
"I have to tell the professor that there is no hope for the experimental site he wants for the time being, and he has to figure out his own way. As for animals, he can have what he can buy on the market. ”
I'm afraid the professor won't be happy with this answer. And those people, those who show up near the clinic, is it necessary to give notice. Vardin reminded.
The priest pondered for a moment and realized that it was not as simple as he thought, "Well, we have already sent more people. ”
While he believed that Kraft knew that he was under some level of observation, or surveillance, it was another thing to run in front of the other person and tell him.
Especially if you fail to fulfill your promises, it will seem inappropriate to come to your door like this.
"Who could those be?" First of all, you can exclude the vassals of the nobility, who should come directly to the door or send invitations in a more formal way, rather than acting a little sneaky.
"Maybe it's a competitor coming to find out?"
"From Dunling to Westminster, half of the most powerful doctors approve of him, what peers will compete with him, will Maurice be resurrected?"
"Then I should go and check the academy cemetery, I hope they don't have the habit of digging their own graves." Since Green didn't think there was a problem, Wattin naturally didn't object.
Perhaps it was a name in the unintentional words that touched Green's nerves, and he changed his mind in a blink of an eye, "No, let the brother who went to the clinic pay more attention and see if he can catch those people." The professor's side should also be reminded. ”
"Also, what has he been doing lately?"
"In the activities between the academy and the clinic, it is said that there is some progress, and we don't have to worry too much about him being idle."
"May we all find something."
"Did you find anything, Robin?"
Diagonally opposite the hottest clinic in the new city recently, in the attic of the tavern, a young man lying on the bed with nothing to do asked his companion by the window.
They've been living here for a few days, and the prosperity of the clinic has been significantly linked to a significant increase in the cost of accommodation in the surrounding area, but thankfully they don't have to pay for it themselves.
"Be patient, not today." The young man known as Robin leaned against the window, and it was difficult to see his face hidden in the shadows from the bottom up, and the street scene was unobstructed, "Patience has made me perfect and lacking." ”
"Excuse me, what did you say?"
"Probably in the third or fourth verse of the fifty-six books, St. Jaeger talks to people about waiting and patience."
"Genius, I've always felt that you were the best candidate to succeed Brother Vardin's deputy, and Father Green would like you." The young man lying on the bed sat up and took out the holy scriptures and rummaged through them, "Actually, the second verse of the fifty-sixth book, but it's also very good. ”
"We still have a lot to learn. You should be quieter, my brother, and read more. Robin looked intently at the passers-by outside the window, trying to discern the suspicious person.
"Do you really think someone would do something unwise in Dunling City?"
"Who's to say it's impossible? I'm sure you've also heard that convoys are attacked outside the city, and heretics take everything for granted. ”
"Because they're infidels?"
"Yes." Brother Robin affirmed, continuing to observe the street, where the unplanned earth-and-stone road of the new town passed diagonally past the clinic, growing equally crooked branches of the laneway into the buildings.
There are more dead spots than they seem, and any place can be a hiding place for uninvited guests, harboring prying eyes like a sewer for mosquitoes and flies.
But he did not feel repulsed, and his background here made him very familiar with the environment, even with a kind of intimacy, and there was a natural ability to recognize foreign characters.
For example, people who are passing by the line at the entrance of the clinic right now. The man may have felt that he was dressed modestly and blended in with the crowd around him, but he was still subconsciously avoiding stepping into the pit and soiling his boots.
The trouser cuffs are too low to meet the needs of walking in bad road conditions, but the clothes are simple but have long wrist-length sleeves, and the material looks different from ordinary linen, with fewer folds and a better fit.
"Look, here we are."
He beckoned his fellow lying corpse and pointed to the guy who had jumped into the path and quickly disappeared, "What do you think this is?" ”
"Stealing? Not like. ”
"I didn't think it was like it either, so I told Brother Vaddin." Robin pressed his companion's head back into the shadows.
"Even so, it's normal for someone to pass by in a different way every once in a while. What if Vardine really told Father Green, sent someone more, and ended up being in a daze with us? ”
"The one who was sent by the Gagar will thank me for the vacation I have fought for them, and say good things to me in front of the Wadin."
"Be careful, Father Green doesn't blame anyone for being cautious. And it seems that someone has appeared a few times, and his sleeves are particularly long, and I have a little impression. "It's a good habit to be careful, and Robin agrees with that, and often gets positive feedback from Father Green.
"By the way, you just said the second section of the fifty-sixth volume, right?"
"Well, I forgot. You star, I'll go through it again. ”
