Twelve-section tracking

Captain Chrissy was alone in the room dressed up by candlelight, or rather, put on makeup. With her extensive experience with the troupe, she soon made herself look very much like a person who was woken up by a noise and panicked.

She didn't wait too long after she had done this preparation. Her door was violently pushed open after a few random knocks. Outside were a dozen clergy and armed guards with torches, all armed with weapons, half in armor.

"Who! broke into the lady's room so late. Chrissy portrays the frightened woman's appearance vividly, but of course, part of it is not acting.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. "The man in the lead was quite polite, because they also knew that the people who lived here were all guests, and God knew which high-ranking people they were relatives and friends of. "We're searching for a thief who has infiltrated. He's badly injured and shouldn't have run far, but we're afraid he might have sneaked into a room somewhere. ”

Although the words were polite, they did not care about the problem of single women in their actions. Without waiting for Chrissy to reply, several people rushed up and looked around. They were all too familiar with the structure of the rooms they were using to stay with their guests, and after examining the few spaces where they could hide people, one of them came to Chrissy's bedside and knelt down to look under it.

Chrissy was secretly worried in her mind, and the armor was piled up by her, and then used the backpack as a cover. Let's hope these guys won't get bored to scrutinize - the armor takes up little space and can't hide a person.

"There's something. The man simply said to his companion, "Give me a spear." ”

"That's my luggage down there!" Chrissy desperately tried to stop the tragedy.

"Don't worry, ma'am, you won't break your luggage. Unmoved, the man turned his spear over his head and pulled out his luggage with the hilt. When he was done, he looked under the bed again.

"It's over!" Chrissy fell backwards with a black eye. Luckily, a man held her up.

"Nothing. The inspector stuffed the luggage under the bed again. Seeing this scene, the leader said a few sorry kind words to Chrissy, and led a group of people out of Chrissy's room and walked towards the next room.

This time, it was Chrissy's turn to believe her eyes. What had happened? the armor that had been taken off Ashrufat......

After making sure everyone was gone, she closed the door and pulled out the duffel bag under the bed. Now she could follow the faint light of the candle flame and see under the bed.

It was empty under the bed, and there was nothing. The armor that Aerufat had taken off was gone.

......

They felt something unusual as they stood outside the room.

Because of the loud movement, the occupants of all the rooms they searched all the way were awakened. Some people opened the door and came out to see what was going on, some huddled in their rooms and were afraid to go out, but all the rooms were lit up.

The room, however, was still dark, with no light coming out of the windows.

"Is this room occupied?" the leading captain of the guard gestured to his men, and his men immediately dispersed and surrounded the house. Of course, the most likely thing is that the guests didn't stay overnight, but in this case, no caution is superfluous.

Today, a group of daring intruders (no doubt a group of thieves attracted by the legendary treasure) infiltrated the underground of the Grand Temple, and to make matters worse, they managed to escape. Only the high-ranking people here know what this means—in the deepest part of the temple's beneath the ground, there is an angel who has received orders from the gods of the Star Field.

The thieves didn't succeed, but the angels didn't kill any of them, and only the bloodstains along the way proved the end of the battle. The thought of how dare these daring bandits defile this sacred land! The thought of this can fill the hearts of true believers with righteous anger.

However, these thieves are extremely skillful, and the fact that they were able to escape from the angels is the best proof of this. Thinking of this, the captain of the guard cautiously turned his spear around and stabbed the gate open with the hilt of his spear.

The glow of the torches made it clear what was in the room—a man and a woman in bed were turning their heads to look out. The man was facing up, the woman was riding on top of the man, and a thin bed covered most of their bodies, but from the ups and downs of the woman's body, a fool could tell what they were doing.

No wonder they were unaware of the noise outside. The guards who were still clenching their weapons just now all relaxed, and those who were more conservative were embarrassed to stagger their gazes, and of course, some of them recklessly stayed on the girl's exposed breasts.

In the next moment, the woman let out an exclamation, quickly lay down, and hid her entire body in the quilt. The man looked shocked and angry, but he couldn't speak for a while.

"I'm sorry, we're searching for a thief who has infiltrated. He's badly injured and shouldn't have run far, but we're afraid he might have sneaked into a room somewhere. The captain of the guard sighed inwardly. He hoped that the two guests would not make a special impression on him, or they would hate him to death and retaliate if they had the chance.

With an awkward silence, several guards walked in and carried out the search that they already knew well, including under the bed. The whole process was short, and then they retreated.

"I'm sorry. As they were leaving, the captain of the guard closed the door with his own hands, and once again apologized to the couple for disturbing their good work.

The rest of the search didn't come across anything worth mentioning. But until they finished searching, they didn't find anything suspicious.

The thief fled, the captain of the guard recalled the search...... No, he should be doing well. But it's hard to say, after all, this group of thieves has proven to be extremely powerful. Even if they are wounded, they may find some opportunity to slip out of the encirclement, but they will waste time searching the area.

His men moved out of the way, and only then did he realize that a man had come to him. The man was dressed in a light robe, holding a silver cane in his hand. He has a strange temperament about him, which makes people think that this person is different at a glance, but they can't say what is different.

"His Majesty, Archbishop. When the man stopped, all those present saluted him. The man was none other than Archbishop Karl, the de facto ruler of the city of Oren. Despite his youthful appearance, it is known to everyone that Archbishop Karl was far from what his appearance suggested. Carl was blessed by the gods of the star field and did not change his appearance until he died of old age.

"Did you find anything?" Karl didn't look annoyed.

"I'm sorry, but I'm ...... I thought it was ...... They will hide in the guests' quarters......" replied the captain in a hesitant manner.

"You didn't find anything?" said Carl's voice this time with obvious displeasure.

“...... I've searched all the houses...... But no eligible casualties were found...... Judging by the blood on the ground, the thief was badly injured......"

"But it's also possible that the injury is very serious, but the wound is not large. Carl replied coldly. "And then you're being deceived. ”

It's impossible - with so much blood shed, whoever it is, no matter what method is used to cover it, there will definitely be a situation of weakness, paleness, inability to move freely, and so on. As long as you are not blind, anyone can see it. However, it was obviously inappropriate to refute the archbishop's words at this time, so the captain could only bow his head to show respect.

That's right...... People who didn't move...... The captain's mind flashed and he realized that he seemed to be missing something.

Seeing that this waste wanted to say something but didn't dare, Carl couldn't help but feel angry. In fact, he didn't care about the threat of thieves - what could thieves steal from the Great Temple? Contrary to the legend, no treasure trove, no vault was here. As for the relics, there is no need to worry, they have arranged for a caretaker who is unmatched in this world! What really makes Carl angry is that he was disturbed while he was indulging in an orgy! And this group of rubbish under his command can't even do such a thing, so that he has to rush out halfway through, and his stomach is on fire.

Carl pulled out a crystal ball that glowed with a faint white light from his bosom and walked down the road from the entrance, with all the others following behind. As Carl walked to the side of a room, the crystal ball suddenly lit up.

"Here!" Karl pointed to the ground.

With the help of the light of the torches and crystal balls, you can clearly see that there is a puddle of marks on the ground. It was a trail of blood that had dried up. There is no doubt that this is exactly what the wounded thief left behind. However, there is not much blood here, and it can be inferred that either the thief urgently bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding, or his blood is running dry. Of course, the former is far more likely than the latter.

Carl continued to follow the crystal ball's guidance, and soon found a small pool of blood. In this way, the traces that were originally hidden in the dark and extremely difficult to judge were accurately found by the crystal ball. It didn't take much effort for them to come to the front of a room.

The door was wide open, and there was no one inside. The captain of the guard remembered that this room was where the previous single guest lived—a room they had searched carefully, and it was impossible to hide a third person. And the female guest moved quickly and freely, and it was definitely impossible to be a wounded.

"There's a guest here?" Karl's gaze lingered on the messy cup on the bed.

"It's a female guest, and she seems to have ......gone away," explained a junior clergyman in charge of chores, "perhaps because of the fright." He added the last sentence.

Karl snorted coldly, ignoring the other party's explanation. His crystal ball glowed quite brightly, far brighter than the location of the blood stains just now. Then, as if aware of some sign, he turned and walked out the door towards the neighbor's house.

The door to this room is also open, and there is no one inside, only the sharp bedding indicates that this is not an empty room. Carl's crystal ball glows brightest yet. Because the embarrassing things that happened here before are impressive, many people remember this room.

"This is it!" Karl waved his hand. In the light of the crystal ball, a virtual image appeared in the room. A man and a woman lay naked on the bed, and then the woman lifted the quilt and got up to get dressed. Now everyone can clearly see that the man's waist is bandaged with a white bandage.

Hardly anyone noticed that Archbishop Karl's gaze was fixed on the woman, and there was a greedy look in his eyes.
