Chapter 21 [Lockdown...... Curfew】
After a banquet, it can be said that there were laughter, Lin Tao and the members of the dark group drank a lot of wine, and there were even two guys who were drunk and noisy and sang and danced, and this included He Yiming.
This guy can be regarded as the kind of existence that is a big ghost, and when he was in his hometown in Hejia Town, he used to steal wine and drink with his friends, but now he can drink it blatantly, but he is not a cow drink? Lin Tao didn't bother to remind him and let him taste the end of a hangover.
A jubilation swept away the fatigue and nervousness of cultivating during the day and spying on the news at night. The members of these dark groups are all men, the kind who drink wine and eat meat in big bowls. They mobilized the atmosphere, and they also brought Lin Tao into that mood.
The believers of the Holy See only eat vegetarian dishes for more than half a month every month, because Lin Tao had to do this because of the status of Laurivic, and after a long time, the mouths of these guys have no taste. Wouldn't you be happy to eat and drink so much today? What's more, the big thing that General Lin was going to do was unusually smooth, and everyone naturally drank two more glasses when they were happy.
But fortunately, the scale of the inner courtyard of this mansion is also quite large, and even if Lin Tao and the others laugh heartily, they are not afraid of being heard by the servants in the outer courtyard. Unlike the emotions of the people in the inner courtyard, the gang of family members in the outer courtyard were destined to be a sleepless night tonight, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, their minds were replaying the events of the day, and tears flowed from the corners of their eyes unconsciously.
Someone trembled and fell to the ground in prayer, because he found a trace of distrust of God and the Holy See rising in his heart. Suddenly frightened, he lost his sleepiness, and when he lay on the ground, he kowtowed repeatedly, "Lord Almighty, please forgive me for my infidelity and forgive me!"
-------------------------
After eating, everyone cleaned up a little and went back to their houses to rest. After drinking so much wine tonight, even Lin Tao was a little drunk, if he hadn't relied on the fighting spirit in his body to forcibly expel a lot of alcohol, I am afraid that he would have been drunk a long time ago. After all, he doesn't drink often, where can he be compared to those members of the dark group who were formerly known as military masters?
Lin Tao couldn't stop burping, rubbing his head and muttering: "This wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and it's really right." Loria looked angry and funny, her lover looked really cute, but her majestic appearance outside on weekdays was very different, it seemed that the Lin Tao in front of her was even more flesh and blood, which made her heart fascinated.
She glanced at Lin Tao, but she picked up the decanting tea that she had prepared a long time ago and handed it over, and said with a little complaint: "Since you know that you can't drink it, why do you still drink so much?" You don't know that those guys have been raised into wine barrels in the army, and it's really uncomfortable to fight with them. ”
Lin Tao smiled and didn't speak. The complaining appearance of Loria in front of her is very similar to that of a wife who has been married for many years, but it has a different flavor.
After drinking the sobering tea, Lin Tao sat on the side and exercised to get rid of the alcohol in his body.
There are important things to do tonight, but we can't delay business.
Loria was quite considerate and didn't ask much, and went straight to bed to rest.
I don't know how long later, Lin Tao opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, the wine in his body was all removed, the spirit of the whole person stood at the peak again, and his head was also unusually clear, after stretching comfortably, he saw Loria, who was already asleep, smiled faintly, and walked over and printed a kiss on her smooth forehead.
After changing into a black night suit, he tiptoed open the door and disappeared in place.
At this time, Loria opened her big watery eyes and looked at the door in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and there was still the residual warmth of the kiss on her forehead.
—————————————
As an important fortress in the northwest of the Byzantine Empire, Ayibagh is naturally quite important in the eyes of the Holy See, which can only be seen by the Holy See sending Gandi, the seventh of the ten cardinals, to preside over the prayer ceremony of Ayibagh City. At the same time, the number of both the Divine Officer Supervision Team and the Law Enforcement Team in the city is extremely large, and Lin Tao has to go to the camp of the Divine Officer Supervision Team to find out.
Such a great event happened during the day, and tonight was different from the previous one. In the past, although the streets were silent and dark, there were still occasionally one or two pedestrians passing by, or drunks laughing and scolding. But today there is not a single ordinary person in Ayibagh Street, and all the people in the city know about the events that happen during the day, and they dare not go out without permission at night. One is that they are afraid that the so-called infidels will catch them and kill them, and the other is that there is a curfew tonight.
It's only been less than a day, and Lin Tao has been rumored to be a demonic monster in the sky and hard to find on the ground, which is okay. It is even more miraculous that some people have passed on, and they have everything to say. Some say that the monster has a bloody mouth, and the two eye beads are the size of copper bells, and even say that Lin Tao has double pupils, and there is a demon eye at the center of his eyebrows, and he is ashamed to say that he was praying by the demon's side at that time, and he saw the demon clearly by chance.
Anyway, when praying, the big guys all wore huge hoods, and no one could see Lin Tao's appearance clearly, so he made it up. According to their inner likes and dislikes, they scandalized Lin Tao as much as possible, which seemed to be able to vent the depression and anger in their hearts.
Thinking back to the news that came back from several other members of the dark group in the evening, Lin Tao smiled bitterly and shook his head, is he really that ugly? What is even more outrageous is that these people have everything to say, and they all have trouble.
For these ordinary people who chew their tongues, it is really difficult for Lin Tao to mention any anger, and he already knows that this road of revenge will be quite difficult, and he has already made various plans in his heart. Moreover, every forerunner who dares to uncover the lie is lonely and incomprehensible, and will not wake up until others have seen through the true face of the deceiver.
Tonight's Ayibagh Street is unusually cold, and the cold wind is accompanied by a roar or two of strong winds from time to time. The snow was still falling in a dripping manner, and there was no intention of stopping. This snow has been falling since last night, and it is getting worse. The whole world is covered in white snow. The snow on the street is so deep that you can sink your ankles if you step on it. Even so, the streets still come and go from time to time with groups of priests. There is no doubt that these people must be the Priest Law Enforcement Team.
There was a curfew in the whole city of Ayibagh tonight, and the gates of the city had already been sealed, and the priests and law enforcement teams were on standby to prevent the thieves who had imprisoned the archbishop from escaping. In the afternoon, Ayibagh was only allowed to enter and not leave, and it was late at night and he was not allowed to enter or leave.
The priests sent to the Holy See headquarters to ask for help are almost arriving in the imperial capital at this moment, and it is believed that a large number of priest reinforcements and the new cardinal archbishop will arrive tomorrow evening at the latest, and then find out the whereabouts of the thief. Now what the priest law enforcement team in the city has to do is to seal the city of Ayibag, and not a single fly can fly, and then everything will be fine as long as the reinforcements arrive, and the rest will be left to them.
According to the news of returning from the gates of the city during the day, there were not many people who left the city during the day today, and all of them went out of the city lightly, without carrying any luggage and heavy belongings, and did not find the whereabouts of Bishop Gandy. As a result, the priests in Ayibagh believed that the thief was likely to still be in the city, and they did not dare to act rashly at the moment. So many priests died during the day, and even Lord Gandy was captured alive and still greatly stimulated them, they knew that the strength of the heretic was extremely strong, at least in the late stage of the Great Dou Division, and he might even be a Dou Saint powerhouse, otherwise he would not have defeated Lord Gandy in the late stage of the Great Dou Shi with one punch. The strength of the enemy is so strong, do these priests dare to act rashly? In that case, it would be no different from seeking death. Now they just need to keep a suspicious person out of the city, and wait until tomorrow's powerful cardinal comes, and they will have no fault. They can't think of fighting to the death tonight, the enemy is stronger than they imagined, and it is not their strength that can be solved at all.
According to the analysis of the captain of the Ayibagh City Priest Law Enforcement Team, although it may not be 100% sure that the heretic is still in the city, there is at least a seven-eight-tenfold possibility, and it is naturally not wrong to close the city and wait for reinforcements, even if the new bishop accuses them of ineffective capture of thieves, they can also push it cleanly. The possibility that the remaining thieves have escaped from the city is not non-existent, but the law enforcement captain believes in his subordinates defending the city very much, and secondly, he does not have the ability to take care of every move outside the city, and it is already good luck to be able to see the situation in the city.
Even if the new Cardinal finds Lord Gandy's body in the city and confirms that the thief has fled, it will be none of their business. After all, no matter what, the enemy's strength is too strong, and they can be called humiliated.
Therefore, the captain of the Priest's Law Enforcement Team, Sharon, gave a death order, "Strictly guard to prevent thieves from escaping, if something happens, you will be headed, and martial law will tell those believers that there is nothing to do and stay in the house for me." ”
Lin Tao naturally didn't know these things, but he could roughly analyze them through the non-stop patrols of the team of priests and law enforcement teams in front of him who were not afraid of the cold, and judging from the news he got from the dark group today, he also had an understanding in his heart.
Lin Tao thought that with the identity card of Laurivic, the possibility of the Holy See people wanting to find out about him was very small, but it could not be said that it must exist. What he had to do now was erase the remaining possibility, preventing the situation from spiraling out of control. After all, in the Holy See's reinforcement team, there are likely to be Dou Sheng-level powerhouses, and if their identities are revealed, it will really be difficult to fly. Even if he was able to escape from the sky with the help of the Space Ring, what about the dark group that he had worked so hard to cultivate? What about Loria and He Yiming? Therefore, Lin Tao did not allow any accidents to happen, and he had to nip the danger in the bud while the situation had not changed to his advantage.
In addition, this afternoon, the fact that Alvin went out of the city to inform Loria to return to the city must have been recorded, and the final spearhead was also pointed at Laurivic's mansion.
So tonight, Lin Tao must erase this information, otherwise once he encounters a sharp-minded investigator, it is likely that his secret will be revealed.
