Chapter 367: Bloody Phoenix (1)

"Looking for someone, you have to go to Beicheng District to have a look. And, you'd better go now. Javier could see that Glori was hesitating, but kindly reminded him.

"Thank you for your help......"

A thank you doesn't mean that Glori has listened to Javier's words. However, Glori doesn't want to miss an opportunity. As Master Javier had told, Glori left the inn and headed for the North Quarter.

It's dark, it's a bit bizarre.

Upon entering the inn, Glori remembered that it had just darkened. And now, it's like someone has cast a spell. The night sky, which was originally dotted with stars, was swallowed up by a fiery red. Looking farther away, the red curtain moves little by little from north to south.

However, Glori is sure that there is no war in the distant city.

So, who caused the bizarre celestial phenomenon?

Perhaps, it's just a coincidence. The northern district where Glori was going was right under the red curtain. Returning to the intersection and heading north along the rocky road paved with irregular stones, Glori hears someone talking. Most of the talking content is related to the Knights' Church and the Norton family. Of course, some people are talking about the sunflower salt farm.

Some people said: "Sunflower Salt Farm, today is recruiting again." As for the salary, it will be settled on the same day!"

Someone else said, "Indeed, the salt works are hiring." But I heard that a carriage full of salt bags had been hijacked by a fire mage who danced a waltz. And those hired workers who have only been there for a few days have become the object of suspicion. ”

Listening to the people, Glori thinks that the person who hijacked the carriage might be Andrew. But who is Andrew running for? Thinking about it, in addition to the members of the Revival Legion who surrendered to Silver, there are also some members of the Revival Legion who are led by Mentor Lil. So, did Andrew follow Lil's mentor's request?

From Noah's Jungle to the Emerald Forest, there is such a possibility. In short, Glori thinks that Andrew shouldn't be working for Gabriel's Legion of Resistance - because there is a long journey from the Wild Plateau to the Emerald Forest.

In any case, Gabriel must be in full swing preparing to launch an attack on the neighboring big city. So, what about yourself who want to reorganize a warband?

After taking a few steps, Glori collided with a nobleman in leather armor.

The nobleman had just walked out of the pharmacy with the word "Fenghua" on it. In addition to blaming Glori, he also accosted Glori.

"Hey, redneck, you're lucky that you didn't bump into someone from the Knights' Church. If you see someone from the Knights' Church, stay out of the way, don't get close. Because they are too arrogant, like the flames sown by the god of the sun. Just now, I was questioned by them. ”

“......”

Glori didn't answer, just smiled back. If the Knights' Church is here, then Glori will have to be careful. The people of the Knights' Church usually have good relations with the people of the Norton family. If Glory is regarded as an enemy by Wolfer, then the people of the Knights' Church will naturally have to make a statement as well.

...... Let's put the hood on properly!

Tightening the hood and tether, Glori has become an existence that people fear to avoid under the fiery red. Moreover, the basket behind him makes Glori the same as a traveler shuttling through the streets. Travelers who pass through the City of Honor from faraway places also like to carry baskets on their backs. Some of them, dressed in the same shabby attire as Glori.

Yet, among the shabby travelers, someone stuffed a ball of paper into Glori's hand. And, Glori heard a whisper: "...... Head north, then west, avoiding the Knights' Church and throwing off those behind you. ”

With his head shutting and staring intently at the road in front of him, Glori didn't want to arouse suspicion. When he learned he was about to get into trouble, Glori slowed down. If you want to get rid of the person behind it, you have to analyze it according to the reality.

A person dressed like Glori can't get help when he's being followed on the street. Here, the City of Honor, is under the jurisdiction of the Empire. No one is going to get into trouble easily, and no one even wants to deal with strangers. As a result, Glori had to choose a better way.

One of the ways to keep someone moving is when nothing happens. If you can find a narrow passage where you can hide, you can suddenly speed up and slip in. So, Glori found a narrow passage between the houses.

Entering the narrow alley and running to the end, Glori did not re-enter the wide street, but turned into the shop outside the narrow alley. The shop is located on a west-facing street in the northern part of the city, and some of the people of the Knightly Church are hanging out nearby.

When he met someone, he went up and questioned him. If it is a nobleman, the people of the Knightly Church first give a polite greeting and then apply harshness. If the nobleman does not cooperate, then the people of the Knights' Church will threaten them verbally. If the nobleman still refuses to comply, then the people of the Knights' Church will talk to the Patriarch of the Order of the City of Honor.

"You see, we're just doing what we're told. Moreover, the prefect here has taken our benefits. If you have to shout, you'll have to endure humiliation. Unless, you have the title of Empire. ”

The person who has been questioning is only thirty years old. 12

Inside the store, Glori pretends to buy bread and glances at the person who is talking. The person who spoke was wearing a bright red robe with a large "ten" on his chest. As for those who followed the speaker, they were wearing brown robes. Looking at the dress, Glori can give a discernment in general.

Perhaps, the leader is the new head of the Knights Church. Glori knew that the new head of the Knights' Church was a legendary figure. While traveling through Noah's jungle with the Knights of Merit, Glori hears some news from the City of Honor.

The news said that the previous head of the Knights' Church had left his post. The successor is a young man with the power of a phoenix. On the battlefield, he exists as a body of flame. If injured, he recovers in flame form. In short, people say that the new head of the Knights Church is very powerful, nicknamed "Son of the Phoenix".

Interestingly, the new head of the Knights Church actually gave himself the name Phoenix, which means to call himself Phoenix.

If the person wandering the streets is Phoenix, then Glori will have to weigh it - he can't leave the store or he'll meet Phoenix. Moreover, Glori doesn't know Phoenix's true strength, or even his professional title.

Glori just remembers, and did hear rumors about a person.

At the time, Glori was lying in the Great Lecture Hall in the City of Miracles. Some of them were scared and talked about what had happened on the battlefield: when the Order attacked the Knights' City, a young man turned into a flame and shuttled through the flames, and then when the dark fire fell, the bloody flame disappeared. It is also said that the young man who turned into a flame survived.

A young man who can turn into a flame must have extraordinary magical powers. If people are talking about people talking on the street, then Glori doesn't want to get into a fight.

Another reason for Glori to stay in the shop was to hear the Knights Church talking about the Sunflower Salt Works. It seems that the sunflower salt field has become an indispensable topic in the city of honor for some reason.

The leader said, "If we can't find the person we're looking for, we'll have to go to the sunflower salt factory." Otherwise, those people in the Rune Church will mess things up. ”

A man who was a cut above the leader said, "However, we have nothing to do with the Runecraft Cult. Why do we have to bear the burden of trouble for them?"

The short man standing behind the leader to the left said, "The Rune Church manages the salt works because of the favor given by the Flore family. But do you know how important the Flore family is to the Kingdom of Norton?"

The tall man said, "How important? Isn't the Norton family important? The Florey family and the Norton family have a great influence in the Norton Kingdom!"

"In short, neither the Florey family nor the Norton family can fall. If something happens to the Sunflower Salt Farm, the first thing to be unlucky is the Flore family. When the time comes, let alone the rise of any kingdom, I'm afraid we will have to be unlucky. So, how did the Flore family get involved with the Demon Dragon Empire in the trade of salt?"

The short man was complaining, but he also ended the conversation awkwardly because of the mention of the Demon Dragon Empire. The leader, who only laughed indifferently, pointed to the bakery where Glori was.

"Look, the store. We should go in and have a look, and maybe we can get something out of it when we get our late-night snacks ready. ”

...... What can you gain?

Something that should have been missed suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Glori was surprised. He thought to himself that if the leader standing outside was Phoenix, then it would not be surprising to have a premonition ability that ordinary people don't have.

Watching the people outside the store get closer, Glori urged himself to calm down. In his hurry, Glori looked around, and only the door in the back kitchen of the bakery was shining.

Untying the belt around his waist, Glori simply stuffed the entire bag of money to the shopkeeper.

"Trouble, I'll have to borrow a back kitchen. Because I want to make some bread myself so that I can give it to my distant relatives here. Maybe if you like my craft? Then I can teach you the craft of my hometown. ”

Generous gifts, the bakery owner is considered a compromise. After all, getting a better craft is something that a store thinks about day and night.

"So, let me see, shall we?"

Pulling back the low cabinet baffle, the bakery owner let Glori walk to the back kitchen.

Just as he entered the back kitchen, the leader of the Knights' Church had already stepped into the shop. Glori didn't look back, but he was accosted.

"Hey, the guy who went inside, please wait a minute!"

"How?"

Glori paused. In an instant, Glori felt the fluctuations of the magic that pushed him. Glori couldn't speak, but he found himself breathless, like he was in a heat wave. Moreover, the temperature of the heat wave is gradually rising. When Glori tried to breathe again, he choked.
