Chapter 820
2014-08-16
A northern town, fame doesn't matter. . Just know it's remote, deserted. Except for the local residents and some bards who stray here by accident, there are basically no strangers here.It is precisely because of this that although the straight-line distance between the town and the northern temple is only a hundred li or so, it is almost the closest gathering place to the temple. But the many wind and rain about the temple from the outside world still did not affect the silence here.
But this morning, the town welcomed a strange face.
With a handsome appearance, a warm smile, and a holy armor, the whole person looks extremely heroic and tall. Dressed up like this, even if the townspeople don't see the world, they know that they have a great character.
The attitude of this great character seems to be very gentle, but the residents here naturally dare not come up to chat with him, and the purpose of this great character is also very clear, passing through most of the town while smiling with passers-by nodded , came to an ordinary house on the north side.
Turn your head and look around, raise hand, dong dong dong... squeak!
The wooden door of the private house was not closed, but it opened on its own after a few knocks, great character eyebrow raised, and I had to step in. But at this moment, suddenly, his legs and feet hovered in the air, his expression changed, and he said anxiously, "Don't get me wrong...it's me!"
The half-closed wooden door was fully opened, and a small figure appeared in sight. small courtyard down. On the front steps of the house, an old woman with white hair was sitting halfway, with a pale expression, pursed lips and squinted eyes, with a persistent fighting intent that was seriously inconsistent with her identity.
The explanation of identity has no obvious effect. On the contrary, the fighting intent around the old woman has risen wildly, covering the entire courtyard in a short period of time. .
paused, looking at the fighting intent that never subsided, the great character realized something and raised his hands: "That, I came alone."
Looking at each other for a moment, The old woman's eyes drooped slightly, and the fighting intent around her disappeared instantly, brows slightly wrinkle: "How did you know I was here... Owens?"
That great character, oh, that is, Owens does not Instead of answering the question immediately, he relaxed first, wiping cold sweat on his forehead.
Others don't know, but Owens knows exactly what kind of terrifying strength this seemingly aging old woman has! Leaving aside the other things, if the old woman chose to do it just now, then all he could do would be to turn around and run away...
He waved his hand to say hello, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, "Hi, Savian. I'm also a friend I've known for many years, I don't expect you to hand me a cup of tea, but at least let me in first..."
After a pause, she frowned when she saw Savian, who was pretending to be an old woman. , Owens eyelids twitched, quickly spread his hands and pressed down, "Okay, okay, I'm really scared of you... I'll come in by myself." , "It's really nice to have this as a hiding place, it's very quiet, and it's not easy to be thought of. But hehe, to be bragging, there are a lot of people who know your name, but I'm definitely one of the top ones. One of them."
"The way the temple did to you about the Bounty Hunter guild was really indignant. But I knew you were impossible, so you were disheartened and betrayed the temple. Instead, you only thought about it. How can we get the temple back on the right track, right? Hehe, so I conclude that you are too far away from the temple, so you should be waiting for the opportunity here."
Savian was silent. Do not speak. Not denying it would mean acquiescence.
"As for how to know that you are hiding here..." After a while, Owens shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I just deliberately collected information around the Lower Temple. But you, Savian, will always be So jealous. But only a few days later, a bully in the small town has been cleaned up..."
Having said that, everything will become clear, Savian came to hide in this remote town, and shouldn't have There was no movement, but her surname, who hated evil, still let her make a move to teach the bully in the town a lesson. And it was this unremarkable little thing that made Owens, who was so thoughtful, come to him quickly...
To a certain extent, what Owens said before was really not boasting, he really understood it very well Savian.
"Of course, these are just guesses. You know, the moment I entered the door, I thought I was going on an errand for nothing this time..." Stepping closer, Owens couldn't help squinting his eyes. , looking up and down Savian's Camouflage, especially the face part, can't help clicking one's tongue in wonder, "This Camouflage technique is absolutely amazing! If it wasn't for the fighting intent just now, I still think I've identified the wrong person... , when did you know such an expert?"
Subconsciously touched the folds of his face, froze for a while, and then returned to normal. Saviian didn't mean to explain, but said in a low voice: "What are you doing to me... I'm now a fallen wanted criminal who colluded with heresies. If you guessed correctly, the temple is chasing and killing me right now. Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"
Owens couldn't help but froze when he heard the words: "Uh...you already know?"
"hmph!" lightly snorted, Savian right hand turns, Throwing a... bird? Owens raised his hand in amazement, took the origami with wings and the shape of a bird, and his face suddenly became strange, "Hey, I really don't see it, Savian, when did you have this skill? How is this folded into the shape of a bird? It's so ingenious..."
"This is a paper crane..." Savian subconsciously corrected, but then frowned and waved his hand impatiently, "Take it apart!"
"Ok. , but how do you take it apart... eh?" Judging from the traces on the paper, it seemed that the paper crane had been taken apart and folded many times, so before Owens finished his distressed words, the paper crane in his hand had been taken apart naturally, and it was broken into pieces. A black and white sheet of paper.
The content on the paper is very simple, it is a temple arrest warrant. But the wanted object written at the beginning - Savian, these three words are enough to make the world stunned!
Who is Savian? That is the genius of Martial Dao, who has never been in the temple for a hundred years! It is the flower of the Knight that many men and women admire! It was the Holy Knight Captain who had killed countless heresies... But now, Savian, who was so accomplished and full of glory, has become a criminal wanted criminal who colluded with heresies and directly caused the destruction of a large area of the temple!
After a moment of silence, Owens suddenly thought of something, and his face was full of surprise: "You guys... er, didn't leave in Holy Light City?"
This arrest warrant is in the temple It was distributed on the spot when it was destroyed, and the number was not large. It was impossible to have it outside the holy light city. This also means that when the temple was preparing to hunt down with great fanfare, the target of the search was actually under their noses...
"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I really can't think of it..." Repeated it three times in a row, Owens kept shaking his head, his eyes looking towards Savian were full of surprise, "I just found out now that I don't know you very well."
"It wasn't my idea." After a brief explanation, Savian His expression was obviously impatient, "You haven't answered my question, why are you here looking for me?"
It's not you, it can only be that Tang En... Owens suppressed his heart. Guessing, Tan Shou said: "The reason is very simple. I was not optimistic about your attitude towards the temple before, but now I am even more dissatisfied with the way the temple treats you. So, I decided to help you."
"Help Me?" Savian raised her eyebrows and raised her head, "What can you do for me?"
"Uh...what's the matter with your thick skepticism? Please, I'm in mortal danger anyway, I'm here to help this friend. No matter how bad I am, you won't save me face at one point."
Holding his forehead, Owens looked helpless, " And, at least I'm an internal fighter, so I'm always competent to give you advice, right?"
Savian looked at Owens with determination, and pondered for a moment: "Have you made up your mind?"
p>
"Of course!"
"Okay, I believe you!" Savian simply nodded, "However, what news can you bring me?"
"hehe , how can I say that I am also the Holy Knight Captain, my popularity is not bad, and the news is naturally well-informed. Well, let me talk about the recent situation of the temple, you don't know what the chaos in the temple and holy light city was like in the past few days ..."
...
Savian the past few days has been staying in the small town to sort out his thoughts, and naturally he doesn't know what's going on outside. Now, from Owens' mouth, I know the current difficult situation of the temple...
Let's not talk about other places, just take what Owens actually saw. In the city of holy light, where the faith is the most steadfast, it is also in turmoil today.
Some believers gathered around the shrine day and night with the scandal that one after another kept breaking out, asking the shrine's executives to explain and respond. Some were even more disheartened, extremely disappointed with the temple, and immediately moved their family out of Holy Light City. Others are more extreme, quarreling, fighting, and fighting in the city with the fanatics who defend the temple...
"...Well, in the past few days, in addition to collecting information about you, I almost Without a moment's leisure, I kept taking the battalion Knight out to fight... Old Bolton, the baker in the city, remember that his ancestors lived in the holy light city for several generations, and the whole family was a faithful believer of the temple. But this time, for the sake of the temple, and My son, little Bolton, made a move. After we rushed over, the two of them were bleeding and couldn't even pull them apart... Later, the old Bolton pulled away and dragged me tightly, and kept asking the Bounty Hunter Guild aloud. Is it a fake? Is it a rumor made by others? I don't know how to describe that look, but I will never forget it in my life... But how do you ask me to answer? Saying no can comfort him, but I can't explain his doubts, and I can't convince myself. Say yes? How can I bear it? In the end, I had to let him drag me all the time..."
He took a long breath, "Hu... how do you say it? , Actually, I'm not here entirely to help you this time, but also for myself. Because at least this way, I can feel a little more at ease... I didn't think highly of you before because I thought there was still salvation in the temple. But now... It's hard to say. But one thing is for sure, that if the temple goes on like this, it will collapse..."
Amidst Owens' lonely sigh, Savian's expression couldn't help being stunned, and he was speechless.
Naturally, she knew about the Bounty Hunter guild. The past few days, she looked at the arrest warrant, and sometimes she would ruthlessly want to expose this matter directly, and then see how the temple would make money to thousands of people. Believers confessed...
Of course, this is just thinking. After all, she is a member of Light God Temple, and she naturally understands the truth that family shame cannot be made public, so she is more inclined to report this matter to Federation and resolve it internally. But she didn't expect someone to take a step ahead of her and expose the matter directly, but there are reasons and reasons to be convinced...
At the same time, Savian did not expect this to happen. Inducing such a large-scale massacre is far beyond expectations, and even gives the impression that the temple is like Assassin and Thief, to the point where everyone is shouting and beating!
Took a deep breath, Savian pursed his lips, as if he had decided something, and said slowly: "You say, if I stand up now and announce the truth about the Bounty Hunter Guild, what will happen? What kind of result?"
"Uh... stop joking, it's already messy enough... eh? Are you serious?" Looking at Savian's familiar persistent gaze, Owenston was dumbfounded and opened his mouth. I wanted to reject it outright, but in the end I held back, frowned, "Reason!"
After staying in this quiet town for a few days, Savian obviously figured out a lot of things through this. Calmly explained: "We all know that what happened to the Bounty Hunter Guild is true, and those who buy murders should not be fake. This matter can't be concealed by hiding it, so why don't we choose to expose it ourselves. Of course. , believers will be very disappointed, and even angry and resentful... But at least this way, we can let some believers know that there is still light, justice, and hope for redress in the temple after their anger!"
Owens couldn't help scratching his hair when he heard the words, suppressing the chills on his scalp with stinging pain, and looked hesitant: "Let it die and then live? Uh, your idea... It's reasonable, but it's a bit bolder. Well, can't you be gentle?"
"No." Savian waved his hand firmly, "The temple is now like a serious illness, it can't be resisted, and only heavy medicine can be used to treat it. Otherwise We can only watch it degenerate, decay, and finally fail completely!"
"Well, your statement touched me." He spread his hands, "but in this way, we still have to give Is there a chance for the temple to heal? Don't hate us over there, just want to kill it and then hurry up!"
This is a fact, Savian and Owens were both born in the Light God Temple, so they naturally know how terrifying the temple is. power. It is no exaggeration to say that it is no more difficult to kill them than to kill an ant.
"Hehe, that's not necessarily true." Xu Shi determined the direction of his efforts, Savian looked a lot more relaxed, and said with a chuckle, "Let's talk about that Tang En. He is wanted by the entire continent of the temple. , he is still alive and well, and he even dared to come to the Northern Temple a few days ago, but we still can't do anything about him."
Owens wanted to say something, Savian waved his hands and hit him. Duan, "Of course, I know we are different from that guy. Well, although I don't want to admit it, he is indeed much better than us in some aspects. At least in terms of how to escape, I have never seen anyone who is more... More professional."
Thinking of a suitable adjective, paused, "But we also have our own advantages and helpers, we are not fighting alone."
"Advantages and helpers?" Owens raised his eyebrows astonished, thought for a while, and asked in doubt, "Is there?"
"Of course!" Savian nodded heavily, looking confident: "There is indeed a problem with the temple now, But not all Cleric have problems. Don't you forget that there is a group of people in Temple Federation, their faith in God the Father is extremely pure..."
Before he finished speaking, Owens's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but He blurted out, "The Puritans!"
"Yes, they are the Puritans. Apart from this, there are also some cultivators of painstaking cultivation. They are the mainstay of the temple!"
The so-called Puritans, In fact, the identity is the normal Cleric. Their every move is strictly in accordance with the ancient temple teachings, and advocates a hard-working and hard-working lifestyle. At the same time, they believe that the status quo of the temple is gradually deteriorating, so their core proposition is the 'purity' temple.
And it is precisely because of this claim that their position in the temple is a bit odd. After all, not all Cleric have their own consciousness. Over time, their surnames will form their own faction within the temple.
It is conceivable that such a faction is naturally disliked by most Cleric, so under the suppression of intentional or unintentional, almost no one in this faction can occupy the high position of the temple, and the sense of existence is really weak. Yes you can. This also made Owens not think of them just now...
As for the cultivator of painstaking cultivation, no need to go into details, just look at the name to know what kind of group it is. They are only interested in studying the teachings, or obsessed with power, and don't care about the rest. They are regarded as one of the few set up Sects in the temple.
To a certain extent, Savian is both a Puritan and a cultivator of painstaking cultivation. Naturally, he has a good relationship with the people in these two groups. So if she came forward, this would indeed be an advantage and a helper!
"Well, it seems that you have really thought about a lot of things in the past few days. Well, I have to say, I was persuaded by you." After pondering for a while, Owens slammed the palm of his hand decisively, " Then do it, I'll contact the Puritans, and you go to announce about the Bounty Hunter guild...must be careful, you know that you may be charged with the temple traitor for a long time to come!"
"Actually, I'm already a traitor, haven't I?" Pointing at the arrest warrant, Savian laughed at himself, and then touched the wrinkled old face, "Fortunately, I have this now, it should be I can avoid it for a while...hehe, it's really ironic to think about it. I wanted to kill him, but didn't expect to use his stuff to save my life one day."
It was not stated explicitly, But Owens naturally knew who this 'he' was referring to, shrugged: "Then take it as the price for him to destroy the Great Demi-God Temple, so it's safe to use."
"...Actually, I threw that devil skull."
"Uh..."
...
After a short day, somewhere in the town, Savian sure enough Stand up and confirm the relationship between Light God Temple and the Bounty Hunter guild.
Let's not talk about whether her practice of putting her to death and then living will be successful, at least for now, these remarks made with her reputation have become the last straw that broke the camel's back. The power of the temple in the north was completely passive, and even had a tendency to be driven out...
And she, the original Holy Knight Captain of the Light God Temple, became a traitor overnight. Ordinary believers can't understand it yet, mad believers are directly insulting, and the temple is secretly sending people to hunt down...
The only beneficiary may be Tang En in Cold Water City. After getting the news, Rao was as calm as him, but he couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but raised his head and sighed,
"It really is...one fan is worth ten blacks!"
