Chapter 144: [Sacrament Floor] Audrey's Mission
ββ¦β¦β
Yager did not comment on Miss Audrey's inexplicable description of the truth, and silently turned his gaze back to the street in front of him, trying to find an opportunity to change the subject.
When you step out of the alley, you'll find that the town outside is in a state of decay.
Abandoned objects were everywhere on both sides of the road, as if some sudden disaster had forced everyone to flee for their lives.
Overturned bamboo strollers, dilapidated wooden tables, wooden chairs, and even carriages with horse carcasses all contribute to the gloomy atmosphere of the city.
However, there are not too many monsters blocking this section of the road under the high bridge.
Under his cleanup, it didn't take long for only three or five beast corpses to lie flat.
Ahead is a deep house.
This is the only route that is clear, and there is only a closed iron gate in the rear.
Although the cascading buildings may seem complicated, a closer look reveals that there is only one option.
Enter the building at the end, climb the stairs and cross the bridge to the bottom of the bell tower on the other side.
If nothing else, the conspicuous bell tower that pierces the sky is the way to leave.
He was ready to go that way.
Unexpectedly, Audrey in the rear stopped him again.
"De, Monsieur Dresser," Audrey looked nervous, her teeth biting her lower lip hard, pressing a dent into the rounded flap.
This is the expression she subconsciously shows when she encounters something she can't handle.
She clutched a yellowed page with trembling hands.
"I see, you don't seem to mention the note, didn't you receive it?"
This time it was Yager's turn to wonder: "Note? What note? β
"A note that popped up in your pocket." Although Audrey panicked, she still told the story in an orderly manner.
"When I first came here, I subconsciously searched my body to see how useful my belongings were, and then I found this extra note."
"In my cloak pocket."
"I was at Sir Shaw's banquet. I'm pretty sure I didn't bring anything like this with me. β
She handed over the piece of paper in her hand.
The ability of the 'audience' allowed her to judge the state of affairs well.
With its yellowed and antiquated appearance, and the tattered edges of the note, it was true that such an object that seemed to have been torn off at random should not be in the pocket of a noble girl.
Hearing this, Yager silently touched his pocket.
Nothing.
He could only reach out and take Audrey's note and read it.
It reads in black letters:
'Below the great bridge, you wait. β
You watched all this with pity. As you have seen, the old city burned to ashes on an ordinary, bright night. β
What does that mean?
Yager couldn't help frowning.
In the text, 'your' experience is clearly limited.
In front of the gate, I saw the burning of the old city, and the two certainly have nothing to do with Audrey's past, more like the story of this area.
However, the note appeared in her pocket.
Audrey next to her also noticed the difference.
After carefully looking at Yager to make sure he had finished reading, she said hesitantly, "I wonder if this means to restrict me?" β
"I've heard at parties that there are some special extraordinary items that give people an identity."
"Could it be that this is actually my identity?"
"But, Mr. Dryster, you have no identity. That's what makes me unsure."
Yager pondered for a moment: "It's not impossible. β
After all, it was his dreams that were connected here, and it was normal for him to get some special treatment.
"If that's what you suspected, you probably shouldn't have left the area and gone against the rules on the note."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Miss 'Justice' may have to stay where she is alone.
When the surroundings have been cleaned up, that's fine. But the point is, what is she going to 'wait for'?
As a low sequence, subsequent changes can be fatal.
Audrey's nervous expression showed determination: "I also brought a lot of extraordinary items of protective nature, please don't worry about me!" The monsters around me were terrifying, but I felt like I could barely handle them. β
Werewolves look scary, but they are only the strength of Sequence Nine.
If they all wait in place, Yager, who has no identity, will waste time out of thin air.
Late will change.
In extraordinary events, every minute counts.
"Monsieur Dryster, go and explore, and let me know when you open the exit."
She decided.
After a brief hesitation, Yager finally chose to leave. It's just that before leaving, he gave her an illusory bell, which is said to be protected by shaking it.
In the dark red twilight, Audrey stood in the shadow of the bridge and waited quietly.
'Come on, you can!' Don't worry.'
You'll be fine. In case of an accident, Mr. Bishop's bell will protect you. β
She stood in her heart and repeated the words silently, suppressing the uncontrollable fear in the girl's heart.
Life has never allowed her to go through danger.
But fear doesn't blind her.
She calmly judged the form and picked the safest spot, waiting to test her theory, bell and extraordinary bracelet in her hand ready to go.
The girl's straight body became a highlight that could not be ignored in the bloody corpses.
"Squeak!"
The iron gate at the end of the road suddenly opened with a sour rust grinding sound.
The sound of a shoe hitting the ground was heard.
Audrey immediately turned her head to look over thereβ
Greeted by several tall horses, their shiny black fur looking very oppressive in the dusk.
And even more majestic are their owners.
On top of the black horse, there are many men wearing black or white robes, and the delicate clothes all exude a strong smell of blood. They are armed with all sorts of strange weapons, like paladins.
The embroidered scarf around the neck fluttered proudly in the wind.
It's the kind that Mr. Bishop once wore!
Audrey recognized it immediately.
A squad of holyly dressed horses quickly crossed the street and then came to a sharp stop in front of her.
Apparently, she was discovered.
She nervously made eye contact with the stopped knights, waiting for their action.
The handsome young man with blond hair at the front looked at her condescendingly for a few seconds, his brow furrowed.
He glanced back at his companion, and then reported in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, there are civilians of unknown status here!" β
The other paladins moved out of the way and surrounded the girl.
Out of the way, a man with a conspicuous sword appeared on his back.
Black hair and black eyes, the facial lines are extremely sharp, and the expression is indifferent and majestic.
This is what the teenager called 'chief'.
"Chief of the Healing Church, Ludwig." The man sat on a tall horse and spoke softly.
"Who are you?"
Ludwig, the first hunter to heal the Church in Bloodborne Curse and the original owner of the Moonlight Greatsword, single-handedly formed the Church's team of hunters and led them to clean the city of beasts. Year-on-year mystery sequence one or so level.
Participated in the Church's attempt to hunt the sea god "Kos", and later lost control and became a beast.
