Chapter 1008: If You Don't Come, I Won't Go
Still underwater, underground.
I have to say that a few years have passed, although Jack's strength has not changed by leaps and bounds, but his professional skills have not been pulled down, and there has been a qualitative improvement.
The current difficult magic lock, which a few years ago could not be destroyed with it, can now be easily unlocked in just a few minutes with Jack's skillful hands and many auxiliary tools that he carries with him.
Of course, this is just the beginning. Although the Shrine Guild didn't expect Don to start with the underground passages right now, it must have been built with water safety in mind when it was built many years ago. Therefore, not only at the entrance of the passage, but also in the subsequent passages, there are also a lot of magic locks, magic traps, etc., to ensure the safety of this place......
Needless to say, in this field, Jack, a professional thief, is naturally more professional, so he is now the vanguard of the three-person team.
And this, in fact, is one of the important reasons why Don chose to bring Jack over this time!
Looking at Jack crawling in front of him, he muttered and cursed, wiping cold sweat from his forehead from time to time, as if he was very dissatisfied with this dangerous journey, but he did not mean to stop at all, on the contrary, he continued to risk danger to unlock one trap after another that could kill him...... Don smiled, and for a moment, he felt extremely lucky.
That's right, luck!
Although throughout the past few years since Tang En came to the other world, most of the time he has been in the dilemma of being hunted down, it is really not the slightest luck. But if you look at it from another angle, he is in this bizarre journey. Met Jack, David, Michaeu, Philip and a number of other friends and brothers. also met Josia, Xia Wei'an, Lan Sha and other confidants. Even if he is going to assassinate the Pope now. This is an obvious act of death from any point of view, and there are also friends and brothers who are willing to catch knives for themselves and play with their lives......
How can such an encounter not be called lucky?
Well, the above hypocritical mental activities are the old problem of Don En's habitual cranky thoughts and indiscriminate emotions when he acts......
"Let me see, oh, another fire magic lock...... Wrong. It also smells of wood-based magic...... Ha, I found out, it turned out to be a dual-attribute magic lock!Tsk, it's a little tricky...... Come on then and let the great Jack the Thief come and unravel you...... Well, what are you doing?"
first looked sideways at the palm on his shoulder, and then Jack looked up in surprise, and looked at Don who was a little emotional and a little moved.
"Nothing...... Well, thank you, brother!"
ā...... Are you sick?"
......
At this time, above the head, the temple will always be.
"Your Excellency. The Knights of the Templar Guard have been deployed in place, and the docks on the other side are also being controlled by people. A net will be laid within a radius of ten miles, and there will never be the slightest difference in the pool...... The elite mage group has just released a few waves of detection magic, and they haven't found anything abnormal for the time being......"
"Well, how's Charvian's side?"
"At breakfast, a qiÄ normal. ā
"Okay, you go down first. ā
"Yes. ā
......
As the heralds rushed back and forth, the already relaxed atmosphere of the main hall couldn't help but relax even more. Sitting at the top of the table, an old bishop with white eyebrows dressed in a bright red robe smiled at the corner of his mouth at this time, turned his head to look at the noble old man with respect on one side, and said with a simple salute: "Sir Lao, I have come to tell you the news for my hard time, thank you." ā
"Hehe, it should be, it should be. Although this red-robed and white-eyed bishop is not the Pope, of course, the Pope is not something anyone can see if they want to, but with the status of this cardinal archbishop, this noble old man naturally did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly returned the salute with a smile, "The empire and the temple have coexisted since ancient times, and they are both prosperous. In this way, when it comes to the safety of the Pope, the royal court does not dare to be careless. Of course, we believe that the thousand-year-old power of the temple cannot be shaken by the audacity of some treasonous evil heretic. Just ......"
Seeing that the aristocratic old man's expression hesitated slightly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, the white-eyed and red-robed bishop smiled lightly and spread his hands indifferently: "Just what? ā
"So, offended. The aristocratic old man saluted politely, "It's just a few days away, it will be an important moment for His Highness to ascend the throne and be crowned, and there is no room for the slightest difference, so the royal court is ...... Hehe, please forgive me, Mr. Bishop. It's not that we don't believe in the temple, it's just that it's too serious, and it's inevitable that it's unavoidable. Well, this is what His Royal Highness the Grand Prince wants to convey to His Holiness the Pope. ā
Speaking of this, the white-eyed bishop will not be angry, and after knowing his head, he still chuckles and makes a promise: "Lord Sir, rest assured, please return to Your Highness at ease." It is said that the heretic called Don is also an old rival of our temple, and the temple will not take carelessness lightly, and will definitely hold the coronation ceremony to a complete conclusion, and there will be no misery. ā
"That's good, I'll go back and report to Your Highness, don't bother. ā
"Oh, won't Lord Sir stay for breakfast before leaving?"
"The responsibility is in the body, the responsibility is in the body, and the next time you have the opportunity, hehe......"
Of course, this is just a scene, don't look at Xia Wei'an is now drinking delicious chicken soup with a sad face, it is just a special situation. In fact, the real temple breakfast was quite boring and bland, and the old nobles who were accustomed to fine clothes and fine food naturally couldn't get used to it......
After symbolically sending the old nobleman out of the main hall, the white-eyed bishop turned around and frowned, thought for a moment, waved his hand to the entourage guards who were solemn as statues on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Bring a message to the head of the intelligence department, no matter what method they use, I must do my best to find out the whereabouts of the heresy." Also, pass on the intelligence news of Donn to the Bounty Hunters Guild, the temple does not raise waste, what to do and let them do it themselves!"
"Yes!"
......
As mentioned before, when a behemoth brings a single individual into its field of vision, it roars into action, and the strength that bursts out can definitely be called shocking. But no matter how much the cardinal archbishop thought about it, he never thought of what he was looking for. Actually, it's at his feet right now......
"Haha. The great thief, Uncle Jack, succeeded!
The three of them shuttled back and forth through the underground passages like rats. Finally, after coming to the slightly spacious underground space like an air-raid shelter, there was a short silence, and then the sound of smug laughter suddenly resounded all around.
This is a groundwater source purification place for the temple association, and coming here means that they have left the traps, locks, etc. behind them - magic is mysterious in nature, and in some ways it means that it is not stable enough. No one can be sure that its effect will not change substantially after a long period of time. Therefore, at the downstream rear of the purified water source, the temple should always have no more traps......
In other words. That is, Jack, who has an explosive character, with his excellent professional skills and some illusory shit luck, really lay down all the traps on this passage route all the way, and arrived at a safe place!
Of course, there are also factors in this that the temple did not care about the underground passage. And the underground passage is the foundation of the island, to be honest, the temple doesn't dare to make any big moves here, you must know that if you are not careful, the thousand-year-old temple above will always be blown up to the sky. However, I have to say that just based on this record, if it is spread. There should also be Jack's side in the world of thieves!
Heart-rending yelling, "Am I a cow?" Donn, Owens. Say it to me, I'm Jack, cow! no! cow-"
"Okay, okay, you cow B, you cow B! You heifer turns his head, cow B rushes to the sky!"
"Haha, this sycophant sounds good, another one!"
"Get out!"
Strongly suppressing Jack, who was already so happy that he didn't know where the southeast and northwest were, Don rolled his eyes while taking out a piece of oilcloth map from his arms, looked at it, and called Owens to designate: "We should be in this outer area now, and if we climb a little further, we will officially enter the hinterland of the island." According to the information provided by Philip, Shavien should be locked up here now. Owens, you're familiar with the general structure of the temple general meeting......"
Before the words fell, "Don't worry, Charvian will leave it to me." Owens nodded categorically, his eyes blazing at Don, "As soon as you make a move, I'll immediately save her from the island!"
"Okay!" Don didn't talk nonsense, and turned his head to look at Jack again, who had calmed down a little in his excitement. The latter nodded knowingly, got up straight and took off the outer layer of his night clothes, and untied the dark tarpaulin that was wrapped around his waist layer by layer...... This is a super era product designed by Tang Enti yƬ and secretly created by Philip, which is a weapon for this operation, and the key to their successful departure from the island after the fact!
...... Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a shriveled skin bag that hasn't been inflated yet.
When inflated, it is a small kayak that travels smoothly on the water.
What, you ask, how to inflate here? That's of course ...... Uh, it's a blow!
There is no doubt that this is a huge project just by imagining. Don patted Jack on the shoulder, with a solemn expression: "Xia Wei'an is pregnant, so it is not appropriate to touch cold water...... Yes, I'll leave it to you!"
Jack looked at the skin bag that was about a foot long and wide with a bitter face, swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath, and nodded bitterly: "Don't worry, as long as I still have gas, it will be angry!"
"Then let's go!"
"Wait!" Jack grabbed Donn's shoulder, who turned quickly, and the latter looked back in surprise, "What's wrong?"
After a pause, Jack opened his mouth, opened his mouth again, and finally exhaled, shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "I'll wait for your kid to come back...... If you don't come, I won't leave!"
Just now, Donn explained Owens and Jack, but he didn't say what he was going to do. Of course, there is no need to say this. Compared to Done's goal, both Jack and Owens are extremely aware of the dangerous behavior they are going to do next, and compared to Donn, there is no comparison at all.
It's a dead end, and once you step out, there's no turning back!
Looking at Jack, who should have been afraid of his crow's mouth and wanted to stop talking, Don smiled, didn't say anything, and didn't make a promise that the other party wanted to hear, just pinched Jack's shoulder vigorously again, nodded easily, turned around, accelerated, and disappeared in an instant into a seemingly never-ending dark waterway......
