Chapter 324: The Church's Investigation Team

"My son is alive!"

More than ten miles away from the imperial capital, on the wide avenue, a simple checkpoint made of wood was erected. Two arrow towers, a wooden fence blocking the avenue, and a row of crude wooden houses, that's all there is to the level.

But on the grass next to this humble level, there is an inn with three entrances and three entrances in front and back. The inn is made of blue-gray boulders throughout, and it looks very old. Several wagons were parked in front of the inn, and a dozen porters were washing their pack horses.

Blackbeard, dressed in an ordinary iron armor, stood at the back of the level, holding a golden disc made of unknown material the size of a human head, frowning at the flickering starlight on it. The disc is carved with extremely complex celestial graphics and texts, and the surface of the disc is deep and mysterious, like a door to another dimension, and if you look at it for a long time, you will have a strange feeling that the soul will be sucked out of your eyes.

There were hundreds of flickering points of light moving around the disk, and these points of light were either white or purple-gold, and the light was extremely bright.

Only a tiny blood-colored dot of light loomed on the disk, sometimes emitting a strong light, sometimes disappearing, and its position was always floating around on the disk, and it was impossible to grasp where it was. Blackbeard sighed a little distressedly: "It is worthy of being the most heavily guarded Black Abyss Divine Prison in the church, and the stargazing disk can even lock the location of the old ice who was banished to the Ice Demon Domain, but it can't be sure where Lin Qi is!"

With a faint sigh, Blackbeard stuffed the stargazing disk into the spatial ring. He frowned and complained: "This is still when that kid was just born, I begged the old immortal of the Great Sect to take a drop of Lin Qi's hard work and bind this astrolabe to Lin Qi's soul." In this way, it is impossible to determine Lin Qi's location, is it possible that the Black Abyss Divine Prison is not in this world?"

Sha Xin, who was standing beside Blackbeard, slowly sharpened his nails with a small knife, and he lazily looked at the distance of the avenue: "It's good if you don't die, if you don't die, there is still hope to be rescued." But I said, Tiger, you told Stein that when you leave the imperial capital, you will go back to Dunerke to be your good citizen, and it has only been a few hours, and you have come here to set up a card, what do you want to do?"

Without waiting for Blackbeard to answer, Sha Xin pointed to the huge inn again: "And this shop, seeing that this shop is at least hundreds of years old, in just a few hours, can you build such an inn?"

Blackbeard snorted coldly, he wiped his beard vigorously, and looked at Sha Xinwei and laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to kill people!" A few gloomy laughs, Blackbeard gritted his teeth and said: "This breath hasn't subsided yet, I have to kill a few more!" As for this shop, hey, hey, hey, hey, the matter of my Black Tiger family has nothing to do with your fox family!"

Sha Xin shrugged his shoulders and thrust the knife into the wooden railing of the guardrail. He rolled his eyes and glanced at Blackbeard, and spread his hands helplessly: "It is said that the people of my Sha family like to hide things the most, but I always feel that your Lin family is the biggest miser among us!

Blackbeard didn't say anything, he just pinched his fingers and slowly counted the time.

The Cathedral of Divine Radiance was baptized in blood, and Alpha alone would certainly not be able to bear this responsibility. The Church will surely send a core figure to the Gallic Empire to investigate this matter. However, due to the fact that Alpha suddenly used the Positioning Teleportation Array to forcibly break through the Empire's Disturbance Barrier and appeared directly in the Supreme Court court, the Gallic Empire used the Messenger Array to submit a rhetorical protest to the church.

At this sensitive juncture, the countries of the mainland have just reached some agreement with the church, and the church will definitely not risk angering the emperor and directly appear in Berelli with the teleportation circle, and they can only make a detour from other places.

The closest and largest church to Berelli is located in the middle of the city, Blackwood, a medium-sized city fifty miles south of Berelli.

The clergy who came to Berelli to investigate the bloodshed of the Holy Radiance Cathedral were most likely to divert to the teleportation circle in Blackforest City, and then rush to Berelli from Blacklin City.

So after Blackbeard said goodbye to Stein, on the one hand, he put on the appearance of going back to Berelli with his family, but in fact, he took all the elites to a place more than ten miles south of the city to set up a card, and hung up the signboard of the Imperial Legal Department, where he blocked the road and set up a card to arrest fugitives.

"With so many people dead in the Holy Radiance Cathedral, even if there was any power struggle within the church, a few hours would be enough time for them to send an investigation team. Blackbeard looked at his hand, "I'm not greedy, I just want to kill a few Templar archbishops in one breath." ”

"The church is too strong, and it is impossible for the Black Tiger family to clash head-on with the church, but it's no problem to kill a few of his dogs!" Blackbeard patted Sha Xin's shoulder hard: "So, fox, I want you to help kill people this time." ”

Sha Xin sighed heavily, glanced at Blackbeard with a pitiful look that made friends carelessly, and then nodded heavily.

The boulevard is bustling with people, after all, it is the main road to Berley. In just two hours, dozens of caravans had already passed from here in the level. Under Blackbeard's orders, Leo, disguised as the judge of the Ministry of Justice, led a group of subordinates to turn the caravans upside down, intentionally or unintentionally delaying the caravans.

The official document with the bright red seal of the Ministry of Justice was hung in the most conspicuous place of the checkpoint, which proved that this checkpoint was an important agency newly established by the Imperial Ministry of Justice to arrest suspects, so no one in those caravans dared to complain, let alone move indiscriminately. They just honestly accept the inspection, and let their goods be turned to shreds.

Some of the merchants who accompanied the team saw that the speed of the inspection was too slow, and that there was already a long line in front of them, so they simply left the avenue and went to the inn to drink tea and rest.

Some of the merchants, old men who often used this route, were surprised why an inn had suddenly appeared here. But the doubts in their hearts only lasted for a very short time, and then they walked into the inn as a matter of course and enjoyed the thoughtful service in the inn.

Just as Blackbeard took out the astrolabe for the fifth time to look at it, three large white flags suddenly appeared on the avenue ahead. The white banner was trimmed with gold, and embroidered with gold, silver, and blood thread a holy crown, a seal, and a thick scepter.

This is the banner of the Pontifical Chamber of the Church, and these three banners represent the appearance of the senior clergy of the Pope Chamber. The three flags appeared at the same time, representing that the three popes had sent their henchmen at the same time, at least at the level of an archbishop of the Templar.

Then a procession of three hundred men marched in three carriages in a neat pace. But there was a long queue in front of the level, and they had to stop two miles from the level.

Soon a bishop in a red robe walked over quickly surrounded by several guardian knights, and the cardinal, who looked to be in his early fifties, waved his arm angrily and scolded: "The spokesman of the gods on earth, the leader of all believers, the saints closest to the gods, and the envoys of the three popes whose glory shines forever have arrived, get out of the way quickly, don't delay the important task of the envoys!"

The members of the caravan who were being inspected fell to their knees, knowing what the Pope's envoy meant.

Although the countries on the continent joined forces and gnawed a piece of meat from the church, only the high-level leaders of each country knew about it. As far as ordinary people are concerned, they have no idea that the countries of the mainland have just engaged in a vague contest with the church.

In their hearts, the Church is still an irreversible being, and the Pope, as the cardinal said, is the embodiment of God, the person closest to God, the spiritual leader of a group of believers, and no one dares to be presumptuous in the presence of the envoys they send.

So everyone chopsticks down and reverently touched their foreheads to the ground, except for the people of the Black Tiger family.

Blackbeard shook his shoulders and walked up with a grin, and he slammed the official document of the Ministry of Justice hanging on the guardrail with his hand, and howled angrily: "What happened to the Church? What happened to the Pope's envoys? We are here on the orders of His Majesty the Great Emperor's most loyal courtier, the Imperial Minister of Justice...... Arrest the fugitives!"

Blackbeard looked coldly at the arrogant cardinal and spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground.

"Honestly waiting, the people in front haven't finished checking, and it's not your turn to pass!"

The cardinal was angry, and he trembled and pointed at Blackbeard, and was about to scold. Blackbeard stared at the cardinal deadly, and said word by word with a cold face: "Don't cause trouble for the church, this is the edict of His Majesty the Emperor...... Everyone, anyone, no matter who it is, no matter what kind of person it is, you have to check it out!"

The red-clothed Keijiao's face changed suddenly, he glanced at Blackbeard deeply, and turned around and left without saying a word.

After a while, the church procession of 300 people slowly came to the door of the inn at the edge of the checkpoint, the doors of the three carriages opened, and several old men with white hair and beards slowly stepped out of the carriage. There were a total of six old men wearing pure white robes, wearing crowns and holding scepters, they glanced in the direction of the level, shook their heads slightly, and then walked into the inn.

After a while, all the guests in the inn who were originally drinking tea and resting retreated in fear, and walked away in the blink of an eye.

Blackbeard grinned cruelly.

"What do you say? I'll just say, these gods will definitely be fooled! Because they like to put on music, how can they sit obediently in the carriage and wait for us to check it slowly? Even if they wait, they have to find the most comfortable place!"

Sha Xin shook his head and scolded in a low voice: "Who of us is a fox?"

Blackbeard smiled mysteriously, shook his arms and led the people towards the inn. (To be continued)
