Part of the truth in the episode (7) on the way home

The dense forest was still a little cold in the midday sun. A certain oppressive atmosphere spread here, silent and silent, even the chirping birds fell silent.

Along the way, the group didn't say much, I don't know if it was because the small group had mixed in with outsiders and needed to maintain its image, or if it was silent that the purpose of going here might be to move forward, perhaps to face more corpses that were difficult to comfort. Silence lingered.

Sunshadow walked behind the soldier, and Kevin followed closely behind him, and the strong sense of oppression of the aura faintly coming from behind made Kevin tremble a little uncomfortably, so he got closer to Sunshadow's side even faster. Mott and Melson didn't look at each other, Mi Jian followed Robert behind, and Miga followed behind and played with the short knife in his hand boredly.

The group walked extremely fast, but in a few moments, they were already at the edge of the dense forest. There were several people in the middle of the forest who were looking for something. One of them spotted them and hurried towards them.

"Captain. The man saluted and shouted at the soldiers.

"Did you find anything?" asked the captain.

"Yes, it has been spreading around that well, and ......" the soldier continued, hesitating. "Captain, you better take you with you. The general said, "When I see you, I'll take you straight there." ”

The upright-looking squad leader immediately took action, "Everyone, please come with me immediately." With that, he headed deeper into the forest to the right.

A group of soldiers and a few monk-like people were gathering together, not knowing what they were discussing. Edward and Adore were talking in a heated voice in a whisper, and when they said they were excited, Adore kept waving his hand in protest. When they noticed the coming, the people they were talking to stopped and looked over.

Edward watched as the crowd approached, and it was obvious that the group was really headed by a thin young man he had never seen, not his friend. He knew that his friend had entered the most prominent private corps in the empire, and it was rumored that there were many elite nobles in the mercenary group, and yesterday's high-ranking Viscount and his friends who seemed to be not far behind him were only inferior, and today, the young man who looked weak and weak, was still followed by his friends?

Sunshadow is also scanning Edward and Adore. Edward's dark skin shows his years of military experience, with the baptism of war in his breath, and his standing posture is the backbone of an imperial soldier, standing like an aspen, tall and tenacious, tenacious and unyielding, with the pride of being a soldier and the ambition that is difficult to ignore written in his eyes.

Compared with Adol, there is a world of difference, his well-maintained skin seems to have not seen the sun for many years, and the pale of a sick and weak teenager makes people unable to read the age at all, but his eyes are the eyes of an old man, a pair of eyes with vicissitudes of life. The youthful paleness and the vicissitudes of the old man coexist harmoniously in such a middle-aged man, which makes people can't help but want to get close. He looks at you seriously, as if he understands everything about you. He is really worthy of being a deacon of an indoctrination, and of course he has his own special features.

"A few hands stretched out a little long, right?" The deacon of the Indoctrination Church, before he began to greet him, directly said mean language in a gentle tone.

"It's really worthy of being a deacon of the Catholic Church, and they all treat people like this. Sunshadow raised an eyebrow in disgust. Sure enough, as long as it is related to the Holy Court, it is so disgusting.

"It seems that Your Excellency has a grudge with my Sect. Then I'm afraid that Your Excellency will not be able to walk far on this Sealand continent. "Adol said proudly.

"Are you endangering me?" "Mr. Deacon, don't say that the Sealand Continent is so vast, I think you may only be able to walk within ten steps. The tone was light, but the cold murderous intent lingered.

He really wanted to kill him.

Sensing the imminence of death, Adol retreated unconsciously, stumbling and almost falling. Mott and the others were startled and hurriedly stepped forward. Edward also hurriedly stood in front of Adore.

"Do you two have something to say, don't you know each other yet?" At this time, it was Kevin who spoke, he seemed to be frightened, but he trembled and persuaded and.

"Kevin, why are you here. Adore shouted in surprise.

Sunshadow looked coldly at Kevin, who went to help Ador, no matter when, he wanted to kill someone related to the Holy Court of Light, and of course the killing intent at that time was very real. But he was cold and self-controlled, and he didn't feel like an impulsive person. He took a step back and looked at Edward. "Shogun, do you think we're troublesome too?" asked Sunshadow.

"Edward, he's the Sunshadow. Our tour leader. Mott interjected briefly.

Edward nodded. I hesitated, but I said. "Truth be told, your presence has really bothered us. And what is investigated is impossible to talk about. ”

"Does the general feel that missing or dead people are irrelevant? Should we be indifferent to the plea for help?" asked Sunkage coldly.

"Of course not that's what it meant. But before you came, nothing had happened here, but after coming, Adol's and I missions here were exposed, and there were so many more corpses!" Edward's brow furrowed as he stepped aside and pointed to the side. The people who were blocking them got out of the way.

The scene in front of you is far more persuasive than the quarrel. That's the right leg.

It is not arranged randomly, but ritually around the well, half-buried in the black soil, engraved with some unknown characters, but still fresh and delicate The girl's right leg, no blood, no scars, all smooth and clean, all cruelly cut off in the cold soil.

". Miga still couldn't help but curse.

No matter how many severed limbs and stumps you have seen, no matter how many corpses you have seen, you still can't adapt to the scene, and it is easy to make everyone present on the verge of losing control.

"Melson, what's carved here?" Sunshadow didn't stop, and instead of lamenting the tragedy in front of him, he should stop more from happening. Without fear or disgust, he gently cleaned out a right leg engraved with a strange symbol in silent writing.

When Melson heard the question, he hurried over. He looked at it carefully. "It's a divine text. But I don't understand. Melson explained, a little ashamed, with his blonde hair wrapped around him. "This higher-level divine script is a very special existence, in the Iris Empire, only the royal family should be qualified to learn, but I have been by Boss Peng's side since I was a child, and they are also ready to teach me, but I don't like to learn at all, so I basically don't know it. By the way, this Holy Court should know each other, right?" said Melson, looking at Adore, who had not spoken for a long time.

Adol shook his head and said quite honestly. "Even in the Holy See, few people are allowed to learn this divine script. At my level, not to mention studying, I can't even judge it. ”

So how did the Divine Text appear here?

This kind of doubt, which could not be answered at this time, came to everyone's minds. He looked around again and asked if he wanted Edward. "Is this your daily well?"

"Not really, but ......" Edward paused, looking at Adore.

"The barracks and the indoctrination hall have their own water supply stations, and since this well is not for your daily use, and seeing that the two of you are so cautious, I think it has something to do with your mission here. Let me guess what the two of them are doing. Sunshadow slowly stood up, walked between them, and continued to speak flatly. "You're here to protect a vein, aren't you?"

In the astonished eyes of Adol and Edward, Sunshadow continued. "An army of the Empire that shouldn't be built here, and a temple that shouldn't be built here for the Holy Court of Light. Didn't the two of you find this more puzzling and strange? When did the imperial system become so lax and casual, or did the Bright Holy See pay more attention to fooling the people in remote areas?

There is nothing in this world that can cause war and maintain peace more than profit. Only interests are the eternal rules and the sharp blade that breaks all systems.

So what kind of big interests can make such a huge force lurk quietly. The scale of the Jiaohua Hall is so large that it far exceeds the establishment, and the sergeants in the barracks are nowhere to be seen in the huge barracks during the day, and they can't even hear any sound of drills.

With huge manpower and material resources, it is not a huge vein of gold and silver, what can it be? ”

Both Edward and Adore's faces were a little ugly.

"Let's make further inferences. This vein is something that Deacon Adore has known since he was a child. Sunshadow's eyes looked at Adore like a sword. "You didn't tell anyone that after you went to the Holy Court of Light, you exchanged this vein for your current status and identity. But it is not an easy task to develop the vein here alone and build an indoctrination hall for covering. No matter how long the Holy Court's hand stretches out, it can't be silent in the Empire, and it can't be unknown to others. So you need someone who can cover the sky with one hand, but who is selfish and will never tell the Empire about the veins here. You've found His Royal Highness the Grand Prince after much deliberation, haven't you? General Edward, is your master the one who covers the sky with one hand?"

Edward spoke in a vague tone.

"However, the mayor of the town suddenly came to us. Even if we say that we are here to investigate the disappearance, there is no guarantee that we will not know the secrets of the ore vein, not to mention, we are a corps under the Five Highnesses, once our group of people knows, it will not be far from the Empire's knowledge.

Well, now we know. General Edward, Deacon Ador, what are you going to do?" asked Sunshadow with his head tilted and asked lightly, his tone flat, as if he was just greeting the weather today, and there was no sword or blood.

Imperial capital. Peng Xiu's mansion.

The lights in the study were still as usual, all night long, day and night. The owner of the study seems to be tireless and works non-stop. Before their secretary, Robert, returned, there was silence.

But at this moment, there was a rare roar in the study, and the servant who happened to be passing by was so frightened that the miscellaneous items in his hands fell to the ground with a clatter. The guards at the door were even more frightened! When did they break in without them checking? They were so frightened that they immediately opened the heavy door of the study.

The master of the study, their Highness, was now talking strangely to a gray and unknown object, and seemed to be very angry!

"What? You mean those bastards, who don't know where to kidnap Xiaoying?!"
