Chapter 469
"All the deceased were Red Ant Mercenary Corps registered by the Valdrin Mercenary Union. The leader of the regiment Chad participated in the trial of the Knights of the Holy Tribe when he was young, but ended in failure. Later, he joined the Valdrin Third Guard Regiment for five years. He was upright and generous, and was quite popular. At that time, he was known as the most promising candidate for the commander of the Third Guard Regiment. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured in the process of capturing the heretic Yelins in the year of White Earth. His strength was greatly reduced. He was discouraged and chose to retire and become a mercenary. ≥"
A man wearing a white sacrificial robe held a document in his hand and introduced Chad's life in detail. He seemed to be unaffected by the corpses everywhere. His white face remained indifferent from beginning to end.
"The results of on-site investigation and autopsy show that except for Chad himself, the rest of the dead were cut in half with one sword, and the corrosive power of evil and darkness appeared at the wounds. We found the breath of the glorious mark from the perceived reconnaissance of the air fluctuations. This shows that the identity of the murderer is self-evident."
"I want to know one thing."
Bolin took a small cylinder from Chad's stiff finger, turned his head and looked at the man in the white robe and said, "Why did the warning fireworks in the church appear on a mercenary?"
"This is what I gave him." The man in the white sacrificial robe closed the information and looked at his boss calmly.
"Reason?" Bolin played with the small cylinder in his hand.
"Card is my wife's uncle." said the man in white robe.
"Well, for his sacrifice of his life to reveal the whereabouts of the murderer, I forgive you for your favoritism this time, and they will receive a generous compensation." Bolin casually carried the small cylinder on the ground and said. "The people of the Knights of the Celestial Order have gone to track them. And now you go back and pass the matter here urgently to all the lords of the Inquisition."
"Sir, I have a reluctance." The man in white sacrificial robe stepped forward and walked forward.
"What's the matter?" Bolin said.
"I want to track down the criminal's traces myself!" said the man in white sacrificial robe.
"Revenge?" Bolin was slightly stunned. He turned around, looked at the man and shook his head, "This is not like your personality."
"Maybe you don't know that Chad is not only my wife's uncle, but also saved my life, so no matter what, I will repay him for this kindness." said the man in the white sacrificial robe.
"I will allow you to follow the team after the arrival of the magistrate of the referee." Bolin sighed and said, "Joshua, please do your own things."
Joshua is the smartest child he has ever seen in these years. He is an orphan. He has lived in a church relief house since he was a child. When he was selecting apprentice priests, he was amazed by everyone present. His ability to learn from others is enough to show his intelligence. He did not disappoint Bolin's expectations. At the age of nineteen, he became the youngest priest of St. Rock Church in Valderin. At the age of twenty-three, the power of the holy radius reached the peak of the high ring. Now he is only one step away from crossing the wall of the law.
Unfortunately, no one is perfect. Although Joshua is extremely excellent, his personality is very cold and seems to not take anything to heart. Once he decides, no one can dissuade him.
He has few friends, or even none. Because everyone who comes into contact with him can hardly bear his cold and rigid character, sometimes it seems that he is facing a mechanical puppet who has no feelings and only knows how to comply with the rules and regulations. It is said that he is the same when facing his wife.
Bolin never cared about Joshua's character. On the contrary, for this kind of believer who devotes his body and mind to the glory, he has a bright future in the glory. If nothing unexpected happens, after he leaves the position of bishop of St. Rock Church, the successor must be Joshua.
He was in his heart against Joshua's request, but he knew he could not stop him.
Revenge or repaying kindness is just an external reason, but the real reason is probably that Joshua needs to seek the threshold for himself to step out of the wall of law.
...
...
The soft moonlight shines on the vast plains and land. The light summer wind blows the green flowers and plants. The shrill howling wolf howls sometimes echo in the sky. The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded from far to near, alarming countless hares and groundhogs foraging at night.
Xia Lan and the other two didn't know how long they had run for the desperate period, and their speed did not slow down at all, because the negative effect of the glory mark on Adelina was too amazing, and they could lock it even if they were a hundred miles apart. Of course, those who could detect a hundred miles apart were at least as good as Adelina. As for whether there would be such a strong man in the pursuit, Xia Lan dared not decide. To be safe, of course, they would escape faster and farther, the better.
He knew very well the warning fireworks of the Guanghui Temple. It was a signal that represents an emergency request for help. Anyone who met the warning fireworks must rush to rescue no matter what the reason was.
The Guanghui Temple has very strict control over warning fireworks. Generally, it is only possible to configure important figures or sacred knights who perform missions. What puzzles Xia Lan is how could this thing be found on a group of guys who seem to be mercenaries?!
It's time to come, thinking too much is useless.
When the people of the Guanghui Temple discovered the group of tragic deaths, they would inevitably notice something strange, and could even trace them through clues. Xia Lan would never doubt this.
Facing the giant figure of the Glorious Hall, if you are a little careless, you will be doomed.
And Xia Lan will never take risks with her own life.
"It seems there is a village ahead, so let's go there for a rest."
As the sun rose, he rode non-stop all night, and fled day and night a few days ago, even a strong man like Xia Lan couldn't stand it. What's more, this weak woman, Winnie, was exhausted, and he immediately said loudly after seeing the smoke rising from the distance.
Baishan Village is a secluded village with only dozens of families. The houses are generally simple, with a circle of tall and thick wooden walls around it. It is thought that it is a simple fortification dedicated to defending wild animals and robbers. The simple villagers did not show much vigilance and rejection of the arrival of Xia Lan's three uninvited guests. After simply explaining their purpose to the respected old village chief in the village, they accepted the warm greetings from each other.
Except for merchants who come to buy grains on time every year, the remote village of Baishan rarely meets outsiders at other times, not to mention the wanted manifesto of the Guanghui Temple. After enjoying the breakfast sent by the villagers, Xia Lan and Adelina and the others rest in a vacant room at the villagers' home, while the horses are temporarily handed over to the other party to take care of each other for feeding.
"This is the most relaxing and at ease since I came to Elderland."
In the wooden house, as soon as Winnie entered the room, she fell directly on the thatched bed and fell asleep while Xia Lan sat on the chair and closed her eyes to rest. The only spiritual Adelina, who was still energetic, suddenly sighed while standing on the window.
"If I can, I really want to stay here and live."
Xia Lan opened her eyes and looked at Adelina. He was not surprised that Adelina was moved by her heart. Thinking about them traveling through the Summer Wind Strait to Elderan. When did Adelina meet other people treat them so sincerely and enthusiastically?
Adrina often feels guilty that drags him down, but the reason is that if she hadn't been in contact with her with bad intentions, her life wouldn't have changed so dramatically, but... Compared to her original life trajectory, who can tell whether it's good or bad?
Staying in the village to rest seems like a rash decision. After all, the pursuers from the Guanghui Temple may arrive at any time, but if Xia Lan did not think carefully and carefully, she would definitely not make this decision.
If the pursuers really appear, he will take the innocent villagers of this village as hostages. Will those guys who claim to be justice and bright will choose to surround them and kill them regardless of the hostages? The possibility is very small, and it is not ruled out. Who can know whether there are cruel and hypocritical people in the pursuers, and in the end there will be a fierce battle.
Another convenience is that if the pursuers do not come, they can mislead the other party’s own escape direction when they leave, and fight for a certain chance to breathe, and maybe they can completely get rid of the tracking of the Radiant Temple.
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.
Xia Lan has become accustomed to things beyond the plan over the years, and it is unknown whether there will be accidents at that time.
As noon approached, Xia Lan woke up Winnie who was sleeping as mud. After a brief lunch, they said goodbye to the village chief, and insisted on leaving a bag of gold coins for remuneration, and then headed north as the villagers bid farewell.
About two hours later, a team of storm-filled cavalry appeared in the small village of Baishan. The villagers almost thought it was a robber attack, but they realized that it was a misunderstanding. It turned out that the other party was the Knights of the Templar Temple stationed in Valderin, and were urgently chasing the evil and cruel murderer.
After a while of Q&A, the old village chief could not believe that the kind man and woman who had just stayed in the village to rest was actually the murderer mentioned by the Knight opposite. After pointing out the direction of the other party's escape, the old village chief seemed to have suffered a great blow and returned to the house in a daze.
"Northern? Rubska? They thought that sneaking into the vast Ceylon grassland would get rid of the tracking of the church? It was so naive!"
After the subordinates confirmed the confessions of other villagers about the direction of the escape of the murderer, Hadid, the Knight in charge of tracking Xialan, sneered and ordered people to send back the latest tracking information before setting off, and then tirelessly led the team to chase northward.
