The Archbishop of the "Friendly Hand" took Zug, Shao Liang, Mu Chi and others to meet the local bishop Antoniola under the vigilance of the holy emblem.
More than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black cloak, wearing a minimalist mask, with a barren head, the cleric who looked quite strong raised his arms, crossed his chest, and took a step back:
"Vigilance is a reminder from God.
"Archbishop Dello, your room has been arranged."
The thin-haired Archbishop Dello wanted to give Antoniola a hug in accordance with the most formal and sincere etiquette of the "Friendly Hand", but seeing his undisguised vigilance, he had to turn around and show his back to the other party. , and said in Honghe language:
"Be kind to people and trust each other."
The differences between the two sects were immediately apparent.
Moreover, this is different from the Vigilance Cult and the Fear Cult in terms of doctrinal focus. The "Friendly Hand" is completely new, and it has no similarities with the other two.
The only thing in common is that the "Friendly Hand" also believes in the "Yougu" who is the old one in October.
If the Vigilance Cult and the Fear Cult came from the same origin, then the "Friendly Hand" was picked up from outside.
This is also somewhat equal to the truth in a sense.
-In the chaotic era, the "Friendly Hand" originated from those who needed to unite to fight against the "Unintentional" and various distorted creatures. Those people relied on watching and helping each other and cooperated sincerely, reluctantly killed a bloody path and opened up different settlements. point, to spread this belief in "yougu".
The "Friendly Hand" philosophy and the "Salvation Army" have something in common in nature, and the two sides have indeed had a long and close cooperation.
It was not until the 10th year of the new calendar that, because of the oracle of "You Gu", the "Friendly Hand" fixed people to participate in the general meeting between the Vigilant Sect and the Fear Sect.
It is precisely because of their existence that the Vigilance Cult and the Fear Cult did not repeat the previous disputes that led to a big fight and almost killed Red Eye.
In Zug's self-deprecating words on the road:
Zhi Sui couldn't bear the fact that his followers suffered unnecessary casualties because of a little doctrinal dispute, so he specially sent people from "Friendly Hands" to persuade him.
When the people who followed him turned around and saluted with their backs to the vigilant sect bishop Antoniola, Dello, the "friendly hand" archbishop, had a genial attitude and said in a soothing tone:
"I have been to the Redstone Collection once, and I have had contact with the 'Underground Ark', which is an old friend.
"I don't know how he is now, can you let me go and meet him?"
Antoniola wore a white minimalist mask and said in a deep voice:
"DiMarco is dead, and the 'underground ark' has changed owners."
"What did you do?" Dello acted as if he was hearing about this for the first time.
Antoniola shook his head:
"no.
"It's five outsiders."
"They are also believers of the old age?" Dello asked in "surprise".
Antoniola shook his head again:
"I don't know their beliefs very well, but they are definitely not old believers, and they don't usually live in Hongshiji, and only come here occasionally.
"Actually, you should have seen them just now. When you entered the church, they just left the hall and returned to the ground."
"..." Zug, who was beside him, thought about it carefully, only to realize that Bishop Antoniola should be talking about the four of them in Bai Chen.
them
They took down an Awakened who Archbishop Delro thought was stronger than him
When did Bai Chen become so powerful
Although her companion looks like it is from a big power, but it is not so strong, right
too young…
As the thoughts flickered, Zug asked with instinctual doubts:
"Your Excellency, didn't you say that there were five people who killed the original owner of the 'underground ark'
"We've only seen four..."
Antoniola did not hide:
"The other is an intelligent robot, which didn't come this time."
Bai Chen's intelligent robot? Zug felt something was right.
But he still didn't want to believe it.
How many years has it been, Bai Chen has grown to the point where he needs to look up, and joined a team with unfathomable strength? Moreover, in these years, I have not gained nothing, it is already a world of difference compared to the beginning.
Archbishop Dello considered for a while and asked:
"The main force is that intelligent robot?"
That's right, intelligent robots are very restrained by awakened people in certain fields, even if the other party has entered the "spiritual corridor"... After remembering this, Zug breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, thinking it was reasonable.
"I don't know, I didn't participate, and there was no surveillance video left at the scene." Antoniola replied calmly.
Upon seeing this, Archbishop Delro of "Friendly Hand" could no longer hold back his doubts:
"They are outsiders, and they don't believe in old age, so you just watch them break into the underground of the church and kill the owner of the ark
"The owner of the ark is a faithful believer."
Even their own sect, which is known for its friendliness, can't do such a thing!
Antoniola's voice involuntarily lowered a little:
"Zhi Sui acquiesced."
Delro was startled, looked around and said:
"Zhisui acquiesced in killing the owner of the ark
"Then why don't you do it yourself? With the strength of your sect, it is more than enough to accomplish this.
"The incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to ask the fearful bishops for support?"
Antoniola didn't answer, just raised his hand again and gave a salute:
"Vigilance is a reminder from God."
…
In the afternoon, the "Old Tune Team" followed another smuggling team and went deep into Iron Mountain.
They have screened the remaining books in the ark in the morning and found no valuable clues. In addition, they also took the time to go to the Vigilant Church to visit the Vigilant Song He and Bishop Antoniola, and got some Iron Mountain City from them. information on the ruins.
The meeting place agreed by the "Underground Ark" management committee and the mountain monsters was at the bend of a mountain road.
There are cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and the terrain is very steep.
For the mountain monsters, once those smugglers showed hostility, their companions hiding on the cliffs would push the boulders down and mess up the situation. .
The four members of the "Old Tune Group" got off the jeep one after another and waited beside the car.
After about ten minutes, a group of mountain monsters with bluish complexion, sharp teeth, and green faces and fangs swayed vines and flew down from the cliff.
Like the murlocs, they were also vigilant enough to notice that there were four more strangers this time around.
Before they could speak, Shang Jianyao raised the blue-white loudspeaker and weakly shouted:
"do not worry:
"You are human, and we are human;
"You are here to trade resources, and we are here to trade resources;
"so… "
In order to save energy, this time Shang Jianyao used the "reasoning clown" that he is more familiar with.
The mountain monsters were instantly "convinced", elected a representative, and asked:
"What resources do you want to trade?"
He used a more dialect-like grey earth language.
Jiang Baimian took the first two steps:
"We exchanged three boxes of flour for information about the ruins of Tieshan City."
These three boxes of flour were exchanged from the "underground ark" with surplus arms.
The mountain monster representative was stunned for a few seconds before saying:
"Just ask."
Jiang Baimian started with the simplest question:
"Have your tribe explored the ruins of Tieshan City during the chaotic era?"
"Not at first, it's too dangerous there, and after the 'unintentional ones' have been eliminated a lot, our elders will try to collect food." The representative of the mountain monster answered quite skillfully.
Jiang Baimian immediately asked:
"Have your elders encountered anything weird there, and have they collected useful items or information?"
The mountain monster representative shook his head like a rattle:
"We have always been looking for food, clothes and quilts, and occasionally other items that were brought back were sold after someone went up the mountain to trade.
"Uh... There were a lot of powerful 'unintentional ones' in the ruins of Tieshan City at that time. They had terrible abilities. We only dared to walk around. There is nothing weird in other places."
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Did you bring back newspapers, magazines, books?"
Generally speaking, such items are difficult to trade unless you meet scholars who study the Old World.
The bluish face of the mountain monster represented a slightly strange expression:
"There are, but there are, we use to make fires, paste walls, lay mattresses, and make teaching materials for children.
"But someone asked about it two days ago, and I read it on the spot, and didn't pick out any book."
Someone asked? Just two days ago? Jiang Baimian's eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Which people?"
Shang Jianyao followed, and was extremely "shocked", heartbroken:
"You, you are not vigilant enough!
"How can you bring strangers back to the tribe's location?"
The group of mountain monsters were silent at the same time, and it seemed that it was only at this moment that they realized that this was a very serious problem.
