This time it was Taksis's turn to look stiff.
The information she received after sending someone to spy on Xia Fan was indeed much richer. When she learned that the three members of the envoy group disappeared into the mountains and forests to the east of the city and did not come out until several hours later, Taxis finally couldn't sit still.
Obviously Xia Fan has information that she doesn't know and is investigating something privately. Even if the other party never revealed their willingness to cooperate, she could only take the initiative to come to the door, intending to rely on the prestige of the church to "coerce and induce", and even thought of adding a little more leverage.
After all, it will be the church that fulfills the promise, and the Ambassador from the East will return to the East sooner or later, and no one will remember her lack of grace.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fan crushed the gem as soon as he arrived at the door of the Foreign Affairs Building.
Now it would be a bit stiff to go back home and pretend that it didn't happen, so Taksis could only walk upstairs with a complicated mood.
"Well... In order to investigate the case, I happened to be patrolling near the harbor area. It's not strange to pass by the Foreign Affairs Building, right?" She pulled out a chair for herself and sat down, "What about you, why are you using the badge at this time? Could it be that? Did you think of the Church of Hera when you encountered troubles that you couldn't solve yourself?"
"You can think so." Xia Fan did not delve into the timing of the other party's appearance. "I agree to cooperate with the church, but there is a prerequisite."
"You might as well talk about it." As soon as they talked about business, Taxis immediately returned to her normal state.
"The employees of Baiguoyuan were kidnapped by Achie. I hope that the trial team can mobilize all its forces to rescue them." Xia Fan briefly told the story of the factory.
Lars, who was hiding in the cloakroom, was shocked!
The people the ambassador said were willing to help were actually the Judgment Team of the Church of Hera
Is this really possible
That is the dragonborn who is superior to the local nobles in terms of status, and is also the strongest force in the Holy Wing Islands! Even a low-level employee like him clearly understands what the word Sun God means.
That Ambassador Xia... who is he
He clearly heard Momola say that the other party had just arrived at Azure Castle a few days ago.
"What do you think of the Tribunal?" Guardian Knight Des Moines said solemnly, "The employees went on strike, and now they are being retaliated by Achie. This is just a cycle of cause and effect, and the church has no reason to get involved! And the Tribunal is coming The only purpose of this is to catch the real culprit who attacked the convoy, and nothing else—"
Taxis raised her hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Xia, the premise you mentioned is a unilateral condition, and cooperation requires contributions from both parties. So far, I haven't seen anything you can provide to the church. "
"Is this enough?" Xia Fan took out the gold and stone pendant found in the basement from his arms.
"This is..." Des Moines couldn't help but his expression changed!
Taksis grabbed it immediately, "You can't be mistaken, it's Hera's Royal Order."
"Hera's Royal Order?" Olina on the side asked curiously, "What is that?"
"A general order used within the church. With it, some resources and force can be mobilized without approval from above." Taxis also took out a similar pendant from her waist, except that its gemstone color To be more red, "Generally speaking, believers who can get this item must at least reach the priest level. Sons of the Holy Spirit are only eligible to obtain Hera's Order when they are traveling."
At this point, there was a hint of danger in her tone, "Where did you find it?"
Obviously, only the real culprit who kidnapped the Son of the Holy Spirit himself could get this pendant.
"That's what happens after cooperation." Xia Fan said unmoved, "I can provide detailed information, but you must also try your best to search and rescue Baiguoyuan employees. Besides, these two things are not unrelated. Saving them means It may also be a key move to destroy the plan of the real culprit behind the scenes!"
"Okay." Taxis responded decisively, "I want to know about the pendant now."
"It was found in the basement of the Chengdong Sanatorium." Seeing the other party nodding, Xia Fan no longer shied away, and immediately told all the relevant information about his investigation of the Sanatorium and Du Lin, "... In short, there is a high probability that the murderer is Hidden in the cave in that mountain.”
After listening to his statement, Taxis and Des Moines' faces became very solemn.
The evil experiments secretly conducted underground, the death fog from Watch Island, and the attacks and frame-ups against the church all mean that this kidnapping case will never end easily.
"Sir..." Des Moines looked at his boss worriedly.
"We must take action now." Taxis Yongyi made the decision without thinking for a long time. She stood up and said, "You go and inform the Earl of Cleveland now and ask him to send all his men to search for the transport workers throughout the city. The whereabouts of the carriage. The trial team is divided into two teams to attack the residences of Achie and the steward of Baiguoyuan respectively. The relevant personnel must not be allowed to escape. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
This also means that she will take action before the application order is responded to. If something goes wrong, she will bear all the responsibilities alone.
"Yes, I will take the order!" Seeing her determination, Des Moines put away his worries and solemnly clenched his fists on his chest.
Then Taxis looked at Xia Fan, "Honestly, I don't want to put an envoy from afar in danger, but now the trial team needs to be divided into several teams to act at the same time, and the frontal combat strength will inevitably be weakened, and The joining of any high-level mage will be of great help to us. I wonder if you are willing to work with the trial team to attack the cave in the mountain where the murderer is hiding?"
Even then, there was nothing coercive about her invitation.
Looking into the other party's energetic eyes, Xia Fan knew that even if she refused, she would not have any complaints and would just resolutely lead the team to the cave.
"I have to ask everyone for their opinions," he turned to look at Li, Qian Yan and Olina.
None of the three raised objections.
It is the most beneficial plan for them to rescue the Holy Son as quickly and safely as possible.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Xia Fan replied, "But the terrain there is steep. I'm afraid we need to prepare a few small boats to transport people in."
"That's not necessary." Taxis suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth wide and let out a silent roar! Through her thin and small red lips, her two slender fangs on the left and right stood out.
It was said to be silent because Xia Fan didn't hear any of her voice, but he knew that the other party was indeed roaring, because Olina and Des Moines immediately covered their ears with painful expressions on their faces.
After a while, a dull and intensive sound of flapping wings came from above the house!
