Chapter 62: 067 Minster College (2)
Chapter 62 067 Minster College (2)
This made the Royal Government very dissatisfied with the Church of Nature, and the big capitalists who mastered the newspapers and media contributed to this, making the Church of Nature's reputation worse and worse.
The Minster College in Langton City is the church school established by the Church of Nature in Langton City. It has been implicated by the Church of Nature in the past two years, and the number of students has become less and less, and it has almost closed. If Penny really came to Mester College before her disappearance, then it is very likely that her disappearance is related to the Church of Nature!
"Another Nature Church! It's really an eventful time!" Green couldn't help sighing in his heart when he understood the whole story, but he wasn't too surprised. The Tower of Yin Spirit, the Eye of Blood, and the Void Club all appeared, and there would be one more Church of Nature. No fuss. It's just that you know the other party's footsteps. When you go to Minster College this time, you have to be extra careful to guard against being ambushed.
However, in the expected gloomy and dilapidated ruins, the crazy believers hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to assassinate did not appear.
On the contrary, Minster College looks pretty good. Although it is old, it is a well-renovated teaching building. The spacious and flat playground is also very clean. It should be cleaned every day. There is also the gate of the college. A feeling of flourishing.
The three of Green and Peter were a little surprised. They didn't expect this scene, so they couldn't help looking at each other. Didn't the data say that this academy is about to close down?
After the notification, when I approached the gate of the academy, there were no more students in it. I even heard the old Tutsom, who was the gatekeeper, say that even the hired teachers had been dismissed, and now the only one left behind in the academy is the one who devotes himself to the **** of nature. The old principal.
Soon, Green and the others saw the old principal, who was in his seventies, with a pale face in the principal's room.
The old principal was not tall and had a stooped figure. He couldn't hide the disappointment and frustration on his face. It should be that the collapse of this college had hit him hard.
"Principal Minster, I take the liberty to visit, please forgive me." Peter said politely. Back then, the old principal spent all his money to establish this college, so the college was named after him.
Principal Minster looked at the four young people opposite the oak desk and smiled reluctantly: "It doesn't matter, you have shown the ID of the special bureau, who can refuse it? Tell me if you have anything to say."
Peter was a little embarrassed, but he didn't hesitate anymore, and went straight to the point: "I'm very sorry, dear sir, we came here to find a young lady named Penny. According to reliable information, she finally came to Minster before she disappeared. College, so…”
"So do you suspect that I kidnapped a little girl?" Principal Minster slapped the table angrily and stood up before Peter could finish speaking. Although he was not tall, he was also old and frail, but he was very imposing, and it was obvious that he was also very young when he was young. A difficult character.
Peter is also an old fritter, so he would not be frightened by him, but he still smiled and said: "Of course I don't suspect you, I just came to investigate, I hope you can cooperate."
Principal Minster frowned and sat down slowly, then sighed for a moment: "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, the college is closed anyway, those **** bureaucrats, I just want to help those children!" Then he whispered even more. Muttering: "And those idiots full of brains, who actually went to cooperate with those lunatics in the Tower of Yin Spirits, ruining all my hard work over the years..."
The old principal waved his hands in a disheartened manner, motioning Green and the others to act casually, then lowered his head and started smoking sullenly, ignoring the four of them.
Green's ear is very good, and when he heard the old headmaster's whisper, he couldn't help but move in his heart, but he didn't act rashly, just looked deeply at the headmaster of Minster.
Peter and the others didn't hear it, they looked at each other, stopped talking nonsense, and left the principal's room.
Although the old principal agreed that he could act at will, but for a large college and four teaching buildings, where to start and how to investigate is still a problem.
And by coincidence, there were several more people in the corridor outside the principal's room. Judging from the clothes and weapons, they should all be mercenaries.
It seems that there are many mercenaries who have taken on the task of finding Penny, and even more powerful ones. They actually found it here and met Green and others unexpectedly.
"You little brats want to grab Baron Paul's bounty too!" A muscular man shouted rudely. Obviously, Green and the others arrived first, which made him feel the pressure and wanted to Start first to be strong, drive competitors out of the game, deliberately provoke, cause conflicts, and take the opportunity to kill Green and several others.
Of course, the so-called 'killing' is not killing them, it just leaves them injured and unable to continue the mission. After all, mercenaries are not killers. If there is no need, mercenaries will not kill people, because killing means running away, which will make They lost a lot of gold pounds.
But at the next moment, this aggressive and strong man seemed to be a little hen strangled by his neck, his voice stopped abruptly, his footsteps stopped, his face turned blue and white, and he looked at Xue Li, who was holding a special bureau certificate in her hand, provocative Yang. chin.
Tom the Burning Man has never wanted to find a hole to crawl in like now. He wanted to teach a few young and lucky rookie mercenaries a lesson, but he didn't expect the other party to be an agent of the special bureau, which made him more than alive. It's still uncomfortable to have a fly, especially the old enemy Silvastin next to him to observe the whole process. Tomorrow, the mercenaries in the entire Langton City will discuss his embarrassing things.
Tom can have the nickname of Burning Man to show his temper. In the face of this situation, he gritted his teeth several times, tried to make up his mind, and continued to recklessly. What a special situation, let’s talk about it first. But thinking of the terrifying consequences of that kind of behavior, he almost broke his back molars and didn't dare. In the end, he could only cowardly, smiled embarrassingly, and stepped back, not even the sarcastic sarcasm of Silvastin next to him. Ignore it.
At this time, Peter stood up after thinking about it and said loudly: "Gentlemen, this matter has been taken over by the special bureau. You can leave now, or you can stay for dispatch. If you can find Miss Penny, you can pay Viscount Paul's reward. We do not participate in the bounty sharing.”
When the mercenaries who had almost given up heard it, their eyes lit up and they glanced at each other. There were five people in total. Even if the reward was shared equally in the future, one person could share twenty gold pounds. Better than leaving with nothing.
"Okay sir, I'm willing to listen to your command for a while." A strong man in his forties took the lead, and immediately attracted the other four to follow, turning the tracing team into nine. It happened that there were too many people, so we could split up and search Minster College first to find clues.
Peter's command and dispatch ability is good, he quickly worked out a plan, assigned tasks, executed them individually, and then agreed on a time and place to reunite.
Half an hour later, Green searched the first and second floors of the main teaching building and found nothing, and returned to the meeting point—a classroom on the first floor.
What makes Green surprised is that he was not the first to come back. It stands to reason that the range he searched was closest to the meeting point, and there was no time wasted in the search process, but someone got there first and was already sitting in the classroom!
