Chapter 349: heresy
Hao Ren led a group of friends from Galton's reception room. Two monks took them to the rest area, while the bearded four of them stayed. It seems that the rector and the female marshal are connected. The downs to be discussed should involve church secrets. After waiting for the room to be temporarily settled, Becky suddenly remembered something: "Oh! Right! I haven't asked about the rewards... I don't want to forget about it?"
Hao Ren squinted at Becky: "You can't make a bit of a break? How can a big country swallow your reward?"
Becky screamed: "I am not worth the time. I can stay for up to fifteen days. If someone comes to tell me that I need to report to the king at this time, I will not be stupid after a month’s reply. ”
Hao Ren squinted: "You are really a problem... but take a step and step. Let's say that every time we see Galton and Ovra, see these two people quarreling? Wang and the church army Is there a contradiction?"
Becky waved his hand: "No contradiction, you think too much. Hollerta's politics and religion have complemented each other for so many years, and there has not been any opposition. It's just that they often have a slight friction because of the standard of action. The church is generally The favor is conservative, the king is practical, and the master of Ovra is a man who has been in charge of the army for hundreds of years. It may be more stubborn. But let's not be jealous of this kind of thing, and it is not good to go in and go."
Hao Ren snorted, of course he was not interested in this kind of trouble, and he was only concerned about the hidden secrets under this piece of land. Lily looked very excited: "Hey, you said how they are going to solve the stone giants? That thing is falling from the Longji Mountains, the whole mountain is so big. It can't be finished. Is it that they are going to stay so deadlocked? Going down? The Holleta royal family is also not in a state?"
"I just noticed some notices on the road," Becky sorted out his equipment. While casually replied, "The king has already transferred two groups of troops to help. The Knights of the nearby parish also arrived here a few days ago. Now the strength of the Beinz parish is higher than when we last came. It’s nearly three times. But you’re right, even if the royal family seems to have no good idea: can’t you move the entire mountain range? If you can’t study how the stone giant came, you have to be so deadlocked.” Becky said At this point, my face also showed a worried look: "I hope that the situation will not deteriorate any more..."
After all, it is her hometown. In the face of this strange monster constantly emerging, Becky could not help but worry, but this is obviously not something that her little person can solve.
At the same time, in the reception room of Galton. The atmosphere is turning into an increasingly depressing state.
"You said that here is a heretical sect?" The bearded man pressed his hands on Galton's desk with a look of awkwardness. "What is the specific situation?"
"For the time being, I don't know the ins and outs of this sect." Glenton waved his hand to the beard and let the other side be safe. "Until half a month ago, they only surfaced, and they haven't caught people yet, we just found Some traces of evil rituals. Some strange things have happened recently in this area, and they should also be related to this evil sect."
"Strange thing? What a strange thing?" The beard frowned. It is possible to let the unspeakable ascetic eyes reveal a nervous look, and only this news related to heresy.
Ovra snorted and his voice was cold: "The bodies of many of our fallen soldiers have disappeared. According to the frontline report, the missing bodies were temporarily parked on the ground for some reason. The sight of the guards disappeared after a while. It has never appeared again since then."
"And not just the soldiers who died," Galton sounded low. "It also includes civilians, as long as they are dead in the near future. The bodies may be mysteriously missing, leaving only a little blood on the scene. Sometimes even bloodstains will not stay. The most typical example recently is on the edge of the holy lake. At the outpost, the outpost was slammed by the stone giant and fell. The soldiers who escaped from the outpost led the reinforcements back to investigate the situation the next day and found that the bodies of the dead who remained on the battlefield the night before were not seen. It is."
The bearded four immediately confronted each other, and they instantly thought of where the other side of the outpost was: they came from there, and found a mysterious tunnel under the outpost! It was just that there was nothing in the tunnel, which made the bearded man somewhat uncertain whether the tunnel was related to the matter. He decided to wait for the authentic situation, but asked another question: "Does the missing bodies have something in common?"
Ovra thought for a moment: "Recent death, the missing place is within the western side of the Longji Mountains - the dividing line is based on the central axis of the mountain. The soldiers killed in the east have not encountered such strange things. Another point is that there is no witness. Recording, the body was not seen under unattended conditions. I had specially sent people to stare at this incident. In the case of someone staring, there was no situation for three days and three nights, but the body of the watchman who was watching the gods was not Wings fly."
Ovra said that she couldn't help but clench her fists. Obviously she was confident enough to find out the truth of the matter, but in the end she was almost ridiculed, which made the rare heroine angry.
The young monks in the ascetic monk remembered after a moment of silence: "Have you checked the cemetery?"
Galton nodded. "I also thought that it was after checking the cemetery that we confirmed that only those who died recently will disappear. The old graves in the cemetery are fine, but the remains of the recent burial are also missing."
“Need a ‘fresh’ body?” The young nun in the ascetic monk spoke hoarsely, and the voice was a little surprised. “Is it a Necromancer?”
"I don't think it's very possible," Ovra's hands clasped her chest, and the voice seemed to be a bit contemptuous. "Although the Necromancer is not to be seen, it is legal anyway, as long as the normal procedures are followed, in accordance with the rules of the Masters Association." They can do the experiment they want to do - then the stupid mage will not take the big trouble to do this kind of thing in the Holy Land. And the earliest disappearance of the body is about half a month ago, and the time when the stone giant suddenly multiplied In no particular order, I would rather believe that this is a group of cultists who pursue ancient powers. Don't let me catch them..."
"In fact, we may have some clues." The bearded man felt that he should mention the information he had at this time. He stood up. "We just passed the post you just mentioned when you came. I don't know if you have it." Checked the underground situation..."
The beard had told the weird tunnel and the suspicious blood in the tunnel. Ovra and Glenton listened to each other. Ovra looked at Galton: "There is the church knight in charge, you Is there anything found in the ground?"
"There was no check on the side of the outpost," Galton shook his head. "But you know, there are no other places where the bodies have disappeared."
The bearded man had some accidents: "Other places? That is to say, have you checked the underground? Didn't any other places where the body disappeared found no tunnel?"
Ovra shook her head: "No. We had a lot of work to find after the corpse was missing. Of course, it also included underground, but we never found any authenticity. Later, when there is a body missing, we will no longer Look for clues underground. It seems that you must re-emphasize this issue... Maybe there is something in the underground. Your Excellency, what do you mean? Lord of the rector?"
Galton seemed to suddenly fall into a certain problem and began to meditate. Ovra called him a few times before he reacted: "Oh, of course, I will send someone to the post to check the facts. But I suddenly thought of another Things..."
"Another thing?" Ovra frowned.
Galton spreads his hand: "The energy of the cult is beyond imagination, and it is obviously related to the vision of the Longji Mountains. I even suspect that a group of evil descendants of the ancient magical empire have penetrated into this holy place, and we have all the energy. I am afraid that I will be able to leave the parish in the stone monsters. I hope that you can go to the parish in person, so I hope that you can go to the king to see the king, and to the majesty of the pope and the king, I’m afraid this is already More than a regional crisis, we need support from the highest Holy See."
Ovra laughed when he heard this sentence: "Hey, you have a little urgency." (To be continued, please search for astronomical literature, the novel is better updated faster!
