Chapter 72: Emlock 1
This is a medium-sized car on a train, located at the very rear of the train. This carriage was organized and chartered for the use of Gehr and others.
The interior of the carriage is brown, the inner wall of pine wood is blackened because it has been used for a long time, and the seating arrangement is composed of two benches large enough for two people to sit on both sides of a rectangular table, forming a rectangular seat space, each two rectangular seat spaces are relatively distributed on both sides of the carriage, and the middle is the aisle for people to walk, and the gap between the rectangular seat spaces in the same row is separated by leather-covered wooden boards, and it is impossible to see the other side without standing up.
Gehr sat at the very front of the side near the front of the car, with his back to the door, and he was in and out of the car. Across from him sat Lucarin, dozing off on the table, pen and paper swept to the innermost part of the window.
On the other side of the corridor sat two of Gehr's subordinates, Iona and Kang, who also occupied a bench.
"Excuse me, do you need food or drink?"
Hearing the sound of the door being pulled open at the back of the car, Gell turned to see a young female flight attendant pushing a cart with all sorts of food on it.
Looking at the hesitation on the face of this female flight attendant, Geer understood what she was hesitating, obviously there was some weird atmosphere in this carriage, and from her point of view, most of them were strong men with ruffians, no wonder she was a little afraid to go in.
"Bring me a drink of Ibby. Gehr dug into his pocket, took out a handful of change, counted a few coins, and handed them to the flight attendant.
"It's good. The flight attendant took the money, skillfully took the wooden cup and the corked water bottle, poured the drink that Gehr needed into the glass, and placed it in front of him.
At this time, Lucarin's head slowly lifted, revealing a sleepy face, which should have woken her up.
"Drink something to refresh yourself, why don't you have some too?" Gehr watched Lucarin try to open her eyes with some difficulty, and the underneath them was a little dark, and asked her if she needed some too.
"Well~" Lucarine rubbed her eyes, leaned against the window, and agreed to Gehr's suggestion.
"Another glass of Ibby. ”
"Okay, here's the drink you want. ”
Gehr took the second drink from the flight attendant and handed it to Lucarin. Lucarine pressed the wooden cup to her cheek, and the cool smell of Ibis became even more intense in the cold water, which immediately dispelled the heat of the summer afternoon and lifted her spirits.
"Hey, flight attendant, give me a sandwich, ask for a venison-filled ......" Seeing that Gehr and Lucarin finished ordering, Kangya, who was sitting across from him, began to buy some food from the flight attendant.
Leaning against the inner wall of the carriage, Iona, who was curled up and sat on the bench and maintained the attitude of not entering the living, also spoke: "A cup of ice flower tea, thank you." ”
"Didn't you have something to attend to and were going to stay in San Rotaró, how did you have time to follow us to Emlock?" After taking a sip of the refreshing drink, Gehr felt that the afternoon sleepiness had been eliminated a lot, and Lucarin, who was opposite, looked much better after a few sips of the drink.
Lucarine lowered her head and looked at the emerald green liquid in the glass: "Come out and be quiet, there are a bunch of annoying things going on in San Rotalo." ”
After a period of getting along, the relationship has become much more harmonious, and the two can talk to each other, coupled with Gehr's extraordinary interest in items such as the spirit sacrifice of Femis, and even willing to exchange more precious great knight martial arts, which makes Lucarin, who has always studied ancient objects, also quite interested, and chatted a few times in their free time.
Since they have a common hobby, the relationship between the two can be regarded as good friends outside of their superiors and subordinates.
Originally, after Gehr chose Emrock's mission, non-combatants like Lucarin were supposed to stay in San Rotarlo, and she herself had no desire to go to Amrock. But when it was time to leave for the train station, Gehr saw Lucarin, who had arrived first and had a tired face, and fell asleep on the table as soon as she got on the train, and only now did she wake up.
Gehr smiled understandingly: "It seems that you are in a lot of trouble." ”
Lucarine reached out to the side of her face and rubbed her temples with her fingers, looking a little distressed.
"Don't talk about this, this is the relevant information I sorted out last night, you can take it and take a look. ”
"What kind of information?" Ger took a stack of papers that Lucarin had pulled out of her bag, the first of which had a weapon on the surface that looked like a combination of a one-handed axe and a short spear.
"Ronsha's beliefs, the same ritual vessels used at the same time as the Spirit Sacrifice of Femis were stolen six years ago when they were exhibited at the Louvrin National Museum in the Gantt Empire, and the official clues may have been made by the Holy Spirit Cult. ”
"Huh?" said Gehr, turning the second page, which was roughly the same as Lucarin's words.
"There is also a feast of blood, five years ago, the family of the Earl of Wellington, the chief consul of Aspin Wall, an important commercial city of the Cylufe Federation, was wiped out, and among the items lost in the family was a feast of blood. The Earl of Wellington is one of the bannermen of anti-religionism in the Church of Chelufe......
Listening to Lucarin's introduction, Gell flipped through a few more pages, and soon saw what she called a feast of blood—a short sword with a snake curved like a snake, and drops of blood flowed from the gem-covered hilt.
"And the Messenger of Fate......"
Lucarin's memory is very good, and without having to check the information, she introduced the contents of the information to Ger in the following time. As Gehr flipped through the data, he saw several pictures in it that made him feel a faint jump in the energy bar.
“...... According to statistics, a total of seventeen items similar to the spirit sacrifice of Philimis have been missing in the past few years, and in each case, there is a shadow of the Holy Spirit Sect, either overtly or covertly, so it can be judged that the Holy Spirit Sect has consciously collected these items over the years. ”
"In that case, this incident in the Royal Museum is actually specially brought by the Holy Spirit Sect for the spirit sacrifice of Phimis?" Gehr licked his lips, although his mouth was asking, he already had a positive answer in his heart.
"It should be, and it could have been to cooperate with the terrorist actions of the Philippian Republican Army, but the Philimis Rite must have played a very important part of it. ”
"And what about their goal? there must be a reason for collecting such items?" Ger leaned his head against the partition behind him, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking about the effect that the Holy Spirit Sect's goal might have on him.
"This is not known, according to some of the organization's memorabilia excavated from the remains of the Briggs Dynasty, the information on it mentions the role of these ritual vessels, it seems to be related to an ancient religious ceremony, but the specific content is not recorded, only know that this kind of ritual is very important to the ancient dynasty, and the rest is not very clear. After chatting for a while, and with the help of the drink, Lucarin's spirit obviously recovered a lot, and she returned to her usual demeanor.
"There's still too little information, and I'm just here to try my luck and see if I can find something. Gehr didn't have any idea for a while, picked up the wooden cup and poured it hard, and simply asked his adjutant: "What do you have in mind?"
The corners of Lucarin's mouth showed a hint of smugness: "You turn directly to page 37." ”
Gehr flipped to the number of pages Lucarin had mentioned, and another pattern appeared on it, this time a round cup made of gold, with delicate carvings on the surface, and a page back, and the name of the cup appeared on the first line—Blessing.
"This blessing was also a ritual vessel of the Briggs dynasty, and it was the highest one, which could only be used by the emperor in the highest sacrifices. Now that the blessing is the heirloom of the Dandison family to which Emrock belongs, I think the Holy Spirit Sect will definitely do it if it finds out, and we can go over and see if there is a chance to catch the tail of the Holy Spirit Sect. ”
Hearing this, Gehr frowned, and there was some doubt in his tone: "According to the intelligence, Amlock can be regarded as the place where the Holy Spirit Sect is most concentrated, could it be that they have already succeeded, but the Dandison family didn't say it?"
"It's unlikely, we also know this news not long ago, it was a high-level member of the organization who inadvertently learned from Wally Dandison, the second son of Viscount Dandison, when he visited the Dandison family, and the outside world never knew about the Dao before, this is a secret that the Dandison family has been deliberately keeping. Originally, the high-level wanted to ask the viscount for a purchase, but they were directly refused, so they recorded a sum in the organization's intelligence materials, which is a very secret matter, and the Holy Spirit Sect should not know the news of the Dao. ”
"Then there is another question, since the Holy Spirit Sect does not know the Tao, how can they go to Dandison's house?"
Faced with another question from Gehr, Lucarin smiled confidently: "About a week ago, Wally Brown smiled confidently. Dadyson stole the blessing out and found the person in charge of our Emrock stronghold, hoping to sell this antique to the organization, although he was stopped by Viscount Dandison who rushed over, but the matter has already made a big fuss, coupled with the behavior of the high-level who was once rejected deliberately spreading Wally's behavior in private, and now the entire Amrock people are making jokes about this matter, as long as the Holy Spirit Sect is not too stupid, this news must not be hidden from them. I've mobilized some of the organization's resources to keep an eye on the Dandison family's movements, and I'll let us know as soon as there is news, and of course it's in your name. ”
"Then it's no problem, maybe this Dandyson family is a breakthrough. Gehr nodded, not resentful that Lucarine had done things in her name.
Seeing that Gehr didn't care too much about the fact that she was acting in his name without permission, Lucarin's breathing, which had been a little slowed down subconsciously, recovered again, and the clenched hand under the table was also released, and her voice still maintained the previous tone: "This is just the first plan, as a backup, I still think of several ......"
"Yikes!"
"Bang dang!"
Lucarin's words were interrupted by a scream from inside the carriage and the corresponding sound of objects falling to the ground, a female voice.
Just as Gehr and Lucarin subconsciously looked in the direction from which the voice came, Iona, who was curled up on the bench on the opposite side, had already jumped up and climbed over the partition lightly.
"Ahh
Just counting the time, another scream came, but this time it was replaced by a male voice.
