In the room, Eliza's voice continued.
"Originally, I still felt a little guilty about this matter, whether it was towards you or Joanna, but since you agreed to kill Joanna with your own hands just now, my guilt is only for Joanna... After all, she is my good friend It is precisely because of this that I can't bear to do it directly and let her go to some stormy island, maybe... there is still a chance of survival."
Elisa said she was guilty, but there was no expression of guilt on her face, which made Paul shudder. With the danger of the island of storms, even if Paul went by himself, it would be difficult to survive, let alone Joanna.
This time, Paul's inner struggle was much smaller than before. After all, "the first life, the second time acquaintance", he knew very well that Eliza did not fully trust him, and killing Joanna was to cut off his escape and avoid half-heartedness. .
"By the way, I sent someone to tell Samuel yesterday afternoon that Joanna was trapped in the Island of Storms. According to the information I received, he had already rushed to the Island of Storms for rescue as soon as possible. You get rid of this annoying guy together." Eliza's eyes flashed, "You don't have to be too grateful to me, as a close comrade in the same camp, this is what I should do."
Chen Rui's heart sank, he didn't listen any more, he didn't listen any more, and left the room without a sound. He had managed to gain the trust of Elisa and Paul, and he would soon be able to sneak into Baiya. Killing Elisa rashly would only be a small loss. The most urgent task is to try to help the young couple Samuel out of danger.
Chen Rui immediately left the church and went to look for Lucio. As Chen Rui's follower, Lucio also mixed in the church during this time, but spent a lot of time wandering around Garden City, inquiring about various news.
When Chen Rui found Lucio, Lucio followed someone, an acquaintance, Ina, the leader of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group.
The place where the three of them met was in a remote alley, but Yi Na still carefully looked around, then took out something and handed it to Chen Rui.
"Samuel asked me to hand it over to you, although I don't know why he did it." The female mercenary was unabashedly puzzled. In fact, in the hill dwarf's thick earth castle, Ina It was already felt that Samuel might have an unusual relationship with "Richard". It was only later that the two sides had a quarrel and broke up, which dispelled the guess.
Unexpectedly, before Samuel left Garden City in a hurry yesterday, he gave Yi Na something and asked her to hand it over to "Richard" who had already joined the church.
This made the female mercenary feel suspicious again. Since there seemed to be an assassination incident related to the church in a certain manor last night, the city lord Kraut ordered the city guards to be dispatched overnight to search for people of unknown origin. Until now, they are still in the city. State of martial law. The door of the church is also closed, and the entry of believers and outsiders is suspended. Ina has never had a chance to meet Chen Rui until she found Lucio today.
Chen Rui took the long package, opened it, and found a broken knife inside, which was broken when he pointed Samuel at the beginning.
Samuel asked Ina to hand over the knife to him, which represented a farewell apology, because the Silver Knight knew that he might not be able to return to the Island of Storms this time, and could no longer continue to serve "His Royal Highness Arthur".
"Do you know where he is going this time?" Chen Rui asked.
Yi Na shook her head, bit her lip and said, "He didn't say anything, he just told me a few strange words, but... I can feel that he seems to be going to accomplish an extremely dangerous thing."
"I have to say that a woman's intuition is really accurate," Chen Rui sighed, "This guy left with the determination to die."
Samuel didn't ask Chen Rui for help. For a true saint-level powerhouse, Storm Island is also a place full of danger. He has been unable to fulfill his oath to "His Royal Highness" for the sake of his beloved woman. "His Royal Highness" involved in danger
This made Yi Na startled: "Do you know where he went?"
"As a mercenary, you have already completed the commission." Chen Rui shook his head, "There is no need to worry about the rest."
"This is not employment!" Yi Na showed anger. "I don't know what kind of relationship you have, but as a friend who cares about him, I have the right to know the truth! What danger is he going to face?"
Looking at Yi Na's excited expression, Chen Rui suddenly understood something, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know why I deliberately turned against Tie Dun publicly? Because I don't want to hurt you! If you are really not afraid of being involved, You have to be quite conscious, at least you have to disassociate yourself from the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, and you may even need to remain anonymous for the rest of your life... "
Yi Na didn't expect such serious consequences, and only heard Chen Rui add another sentence: "I just want to reveal one thing, he risked his life this time in order to save his beloved woman, are you sure you still want to?" Get involved?"
Yi Na was startled, her excitement finally calmed down, and her eyes were full of disappointment.
"Let's go, since he trusts you, I won't do anything unnecessary to you. But you must forget what happened today, including this thing." Chen Rui raised the broken knife in his hand and used it on Lucio. She winked and walked forward, leaving only Yi Na standing there in a daze.
After leaving the alley, Chen Rui said to Lucio: "How much do you know about Storm Island?"
"What does the master mean? The place where Samuel went is the island of storms?" Lucio was taken aback, and then replied: "From the port of Tor in the south of Garton City, you can reach the sea of storms, if If it’s fast, it will take about two days. When I completed the employment mission three years ago, I passed through that sea area, but I didn’t dare to approach it.”
"If you are asked to go to the Island of Storms now, do you have the guts?"
Lucio was surprised again, hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth: "If it wasn't for the master, I would still be a half-dead waste. Since I followed the master, my life has already been given to the master! Don't say it is to go Even if I go to the Demon Realm, I will never hesitate!"
The last sentence stunned Chen Rui, and then he smiled: "The devil world... Don't worry, going to the island of storms this time won't kill you, you can go get a small fishing boat immediately, remember, the less conspicuous the better, No boatmen or sailors, no supplies, yes, a map of the relevant sea areas."
"Fishing boat?" Lucio thought he heard it wrong, "Master, at least a sea boat and a few sailors are needed. The stormy sea is not an inland river."
"Do as I say, the sooner the better." Chen Rui thought for a while, "Also, I may soon leave Garton City, go to the Dragon Empire, and then go to Baiya. I don't know What kind of turmoil will be caused at that time, you must 'die' once, and then change your identity, so that you can avoid being implicated."
"Ah?" Lucio was taken aback for a moment, then reacted, saluted respectfully, and didn't ask any more questions.
His strength is just an insignificant ant to the saint-level powerhouse "Li Cha", but this strong man who needs to look up to him has even considered the details of his safety and did not use methods such as silence. In any case, he is a true master worth following.
About two hours later, the fat city lord, Kraut, received an urgent message from the patrol team. The church candidate "Richard" was ambushed by a group of unknown people in the third block. He was seriously injured, and his attendant Lucio died unfortunately.
The fat city lord's heart tightened. If it was normal, he wouldn't need to worry about an alternate bright knight being injured. However, the assassination of the cardinal's niece and disciple of the saint, Eliza, happened in Piaoxiang Manor yesterday. As a result, Elisa was seriously injured, and Mana, the pastor of Gudan Town, was assassinated to death. This incident may affect his position as the city lord. It was a sensitive period, but there was a second assassination against people in the church.
The two assassinations should be closely related, probably by the same force, and then the fat city lord received a new message. This Li Cha was the one who reminded Elisa at a critical moment yesterday, and he won Elisa's attention. Appreciation, and has become the follower of Paul, the first genius of the Longhuang Empire and the leader of the Paladin.
His uncle's are all related households that cannot be offended! Fatty's tears were about to fall, and he hurried to the scene to condolence and treat the seriously injured "Richard". At this time, people from the church also came, led by Pastor Sorendon and Paul.
"Lord Paul!"
Chen Rui showed a struggling expression, and was about to struggle to get up, but was supported by Paul: "Li Cha! How is your injury? I will use the light magic to heal you now!"
The fat city lord on the side looked secretly worried. It seemed that the relationship between Paul and this follower was quite unusual. Fortunately, he did not neglect.
Chen Rui sneered secretly. Paul is a ruthless character who can solve even the woman he loves with his own hands for profit. He did this just to buy people's hearts, but he still showed his emotion in cooperation: "No need, Mr. Paul, Crowe The city lord Te has already sent someone to treat him, and there is nothing serious about it. After two or three days of rest, he will be fine, but... my follower, Lucio, was hit by the assassin's poisonous dagger, and even his body was... "
"What's going on?" Paul frowned tightly as he looked at the wound created by Chen Rui's camouflage technique.
"I don't know either. I came out of the Temple of Light, found my follower Lucio, and asked him to prepare for departure. Suddenly, I was ambushed by a group of assassins. If the Thunderbird hadn't reminded me, I would have died. I suspect … Are these assassins related to those in the manor last night?"
There were actually many witnesses to the assassination incident mentioned by Chen Rui, but what those passers-by saw were all the clips that Shura used his magic power to transform. The real Lucio has changed his appearance and went to Tor Harbor.
"Could it be revenge for you reminding Elisa last night?" Paul clenched his fists and patted Chen Rui's shoulder lightly: "That follower will not die in vain, I will definitely not let this matter go! Lisa's injury has not recovered, I just want to stay here for a few days, you can rest assured to recover from your injury, and then return to Longhuang Empire with me."
"As you order, my lord."
Back at the church, Soranton put Chen Rui in a clean room to recover from his injuries, and Elisa even came to visit him specially. To be precise, it was not Chen Rui that Elisa was visiting at this moment, but Shura.
Chen Rui left a star point in the church, left Shura here to "heal his wounds" and continued to steal the power of faith, while he rushed to Tor Port.
