0268 Assassins
Although Wednesday is not a professional bodyguard, he has dealt with all kinds of mercenaries since he came to this world, and everything he does is to fight with a stick, engage in assassination and sneak attacks, and know some tricks to hide his whereabouts, so he still found two strange people in the crowd at a glance.
It's a bit inaccurate to say that it's weird, the two people are dressed and look no different from normal people, and it's strange that the other party's behavior is strange. The two men did not stand still and shout and watch like the rest of the crowd, but kept walking with the convoy, and their eyes kept falling on Chrissy, who had been following for some distance.
At first, Wednesday thought it was security arranged by Chrissy and didn't pay much attention to it, but then it turned out that it wasn't, because the movements of these people were more suspicious than the security guards. If you're a security guard, you should keep an eye on Chrissy while keeping an eye on the crowd instead of keeping an eye on Chriss.
After staring at them for a while, Wednesday was finally sure that those two men were Assassins, and even if they weren't Assassins, they definitely had bad intentions.
Thinking of this, Wednesday whispered to Li Sisi, "Keep your vigilance, be careful, I found two suspicious characters, come as soon as you go," and after speaking, he gently jumped out of the carriage and got into the crowd. However, Wednesday did not immediately follow because he suddenly got out of the car, which made everyone notice him, not only the people in the convoy, but also the crowd.
Wednesday is wearing a pure white monk's robe today, which is specially arranged by Chrissy to be given, although the style is not very standard, but it also fits very well, so Wednesday did not refuse. But it's okay to sit in a carriage in this outfit, and standing in the crowd is as eye-catching as standing out from the crowd. So Wednesday jumped out of the car and just dodged into a small alley, then quickly changed his clothes, and then returned to the crowd.
When he followed the two men again, he found that the two men seemed to be much more vigilant, and no longer stared at Chrissy so blatantly. It's more about looking around. Is this seeing that he is not in his position, so he is starting to be vigilant?
No matter how vigilant these people are, it will be difficult to find the traces of Wednesday, because Wednesday is completely hidden in the crowd, slowly moving his position in the flow of people, and it seems that the wind is light and faint like a passerby. In fact, it was moving very fast, like a loach, moving forward quickly, closely following the two men.
Both men were obviously swordsmen, the kind with very strong and burly bodies, both blonde white. The two swordsmen apparently didn't notice that Wednesday was a few meters behind them, still looking around, staring at Chrissy from time to time, occasionally whispering, and only pretending to be ordinary people watching the excitement when they encountered the patrolling soldiers.
See here. Wednesday was still sure that the two men were really trying to disadvantage Chrissy. At one turn, the convoy slowed even lower, and the two swordsmen glanced at each other, quietly drew their broadswords and wrapped them around their clothes, and squeezed through the crowd.
Wednesday snorted, and followed silently, behind the two swordsmen, close behind them. He grabbed them by the collar on the back of his shirt and bent over to exert his strength. The back flipped like a catapult that popped out, and at once the two swordsmen were thrown in reverse from the crowd to the side of the road.
Without waiting for the two swordsmen to land, Wednesday jumped back like a city car, and hit the two swordsmen with their shoulders impartially, and they fell into the alley at the bend with a snort, and then stood quietly at the entrance of the alley. Snorted: "Don't try to make trouble, or don't blame me for being rude." ”
The two rabbits rose and fell on Wednesday, from reaching out to grab the two swordsmen to the two swordsmen being knocked into the alley, it was only about a second, and it barely aroused the suspicion of the onlookers. A few people in the vicinity noticed Wednesday's action, but they just looked back and didn't pay attention, they thought it was just an ordinary brawl, where could such a scene be more rare than Queen Chrissy?
And after the convoy drove by, there was a surge of people, and no one noticed the two swordsmen in the alley at the mouth of the alley.
Although the two swordsmen were unexpectedly thrown by Wednesday, and even more slammed, they were not injured, because they had already used their fighting spirit to prepare to attack, but they were too focused on preparing to attack Chrissy, but they ignored the defense behind them, and were thrown into the alley by Wednesday.
Seeing Wednesday standing at the entrance of the alley, and then seeing that Queen Chrissy's convoy had slowly moved away, the two swordsmen glanced at each other, turned around and ran.
And Wednesday saw the two swordsmen turn around and run, but he didn't hurry to follow, but when the two swordsmen turned, he suddenly got up and jumped, jumped on the wall next to him, took two big strides in a row, and rushed to the roof, and then stared at the direction of the two swordsmen's escape from a distance on the roof.
It's very convenient to walk from the top of the rows of buildings to the top of the rows of buildings, which not only saves distance and time, but also makes it easier to track.
At least the two swordsmen didn't expect Wednesday to follow them overhead, and although they kept looking back, they didn't notice Wednesday at all. The two of them fled in panic all the way, and only after running through a dozen alleys and sparing several circles did they slow down, then looked back for a while, and knocked on the back door of the courtyard.
And a swordsman also ran out of the porter at the back door, opened a crack in the door and looked at it, let the two swordsmen in, then looked out for a while, and immediately closed the door nervously. The three of them didn't say a word after the round, and ran directly into the living room in small steps.
It's just that the actions of these three people who thought they were secret, but they were looked at by Wednesday as they were. Who the owner of this courtyard is, Wednesday naturally doesn't know, but the defense is not very strict, and the yard is not too big, so it doesn't look like a big family. However, at this time, it seems that it is clearly one of the strongholds of Chrissy's hostile forces.
I wanted to take this opportunity to sneak in and find out the specific situation, but it would be bad if I accidentally startled the snake, so it would be better to wait quietly until the parade was over and then bring people directly to arrest people. Thinking of this, Wednesday quietly returned to the street, following the back of the convoy all the way to the cathedral.
The journey was uneventful, and on Wednesday there was nothing unusual in the crowd, and I arrived at the cathedral smoothly.
The cathedral belongs to the Holy See, but over the past few thousand years, the Holy See has completely lost control of these churches and has instead become a vassal of the Sean Empire. In the past, the Sean Empire was not a state, but a fiefdom of a duke. But because it is so far from the headquarters of the Holy See, the cathedral is equivalent to a regional branch.
Orders of the church, or the elevation of titles and other matters were issued through the cathedral, and the bishop of the church at that time had the right to act arbitrarily. But after the independence of the Sean Empire, the cathedral became a simple institution for cultivating light mages, and if there was any role, it could crown the king.
Later, due to some power struggles, the church even lost the right to be crowned, and the real only symbolic meaning remained, mainly to train light mages and treat people's injuries and illnesses as a hospital, etc., and occasionally make a cameo appearance similar to the identity of a priest or priest.
And Chrissy came here, it was also a symbolic walk, nominally to pray for the creation of God, pray for the peace of the country and the people, and the prosperity of the people, but in fact, she took this opportunity to show her face, win over the people, and engage in some pro-people activities. These actions may seem boring, but sometimes they are also crucial, at least to let the people of the country know what their king looks like.
Watching Chrissy's performance, Wednesday felt a little boring, but it was not good to return to the team at this time, there were too many people to follow, so I could only look around in the same place. At this time, I suddenly felt that there was something on my feet, and when I looked down, it was a little ball.
Seeing the big dark eyes of the little Dandan, Wednesday felt a little warm, bent down to pick it up, then took out a few hazelnuts, pinched them one by one and sent them to the little Dandan's mouth, watched it chew quickly, reached out and touched its head, and resisted him on the shoulder.
Now Wednesday is already planning to be himself again, even his head is shaved clean, so that the little Dandan can also show up openly, and he doesn't need to hide in his arms every day.
However, when he bent over and looked up again, when he looked at Chrissy on Wednesday, he suddenly found that behind Chrissy, among the ranks of officials of all sizes, there was a red-haired middle-aged man with his head bowed and an anxious face, and he looked at the crowd of onlookers. Because they were standing on the platform, the people around the red-haired middle-aged man couldn't notice anything unusual, but when they looked up from this side on Wednesday, they could see it very clearly.
At this time, Chrissy was standing in a ring built in the central square of the cathedral, behind her was a group of accompanying officials, and less than ten meters in front of her was the crowd of onlookers, although separated by guardrails and guards, but if anyone really wanted to do something, it was still easy to rush to Chrissy's side. And the official who glanced at the audience was not far behind Chrissy, which meant that the man's title was not low.
But Wednesday didn't have time to think too much, but followed the official's gaze, trying to find out who he was looking at and what purpose. But he was also in the crowd, and it was full of people at a glance, and it was almost impossible to tell who was who.
Thinking of this, Wednesday quietly touched the back of the line, then changed into the white monk's robe that Chrissy had customized for him, jumped on the stage, and squeezed forward from the crowd of officials. (To be continued......)
