'Mr. Murphy' stood up, stroked his chest with one hand, bowed slightly to the old bishop, and finally said:
"What a touching reunion, unfortunately it's getting late..."
"Goodbye, my teacher."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes suddenly, his whole body twitched, blood gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, he fell heavily to the ground, and then he stopped breathing and died suddenly on the spot.
There were bursts of exclamations all around:
"Kill... kill!"
"That old magic stick killed Mr. Murphy!"
"Quick! Call the Sheriff!"
---------------------
It was not until lunchtime that the old bishop was picked up from the cell by Bishop Yeke.
"I'm so sorry I'm late!"
Bishop Yeke said with a face of shame, and personally helped the old bishop into the carriage, showing respect.
After the carriage started, Bishop Yeke considered his words and asked the old bishop what had happened.
"That person has become Jin's puppet, and after chatting with me, he was discarded."
"Kim? You're talking about the... Betrayer Kim?"
Bishop Yeke asked with a look of surprise, a thread of cold sweat involuntarily oozing from his back.
The most terrifying villain in history, the most ferocious gangster, the most hateful traitor, the most wanted criminal who has been at the top of the bounty list for a hundred years, actually sneaked into the city of innocence
Now he understood why Artanis was so nervous after receiving his report.
Before going to the bar, the old bishop sent the letter to Bishop Yeke. It just so happened that the Shenguang Cult introduced a set of valuable magic communication barriers a while ago, so Bishop Yeke promptly sent the contents of the letter to him through the new equipment. Read it to Artanis.
The old bishop's letter contained only one line:
"He has come to the city of innocence, I will meet him."
At that time, after Artanis heard this sentence, he suddenly exclaimed:
"Quick! Take your people and go to Gallo!"
Even through the communication barrier, Yeke could also feel the panic of his old boss through the panicked voice of the other party.
He had never seen such an out-of-control Artanis, even when the evil gods invaded, he still looked confident and calm in the face of danger.
And his order is also a bit strange, instead of asking people to go to Saint Jolo, but to go to Gallo first
Fortunately, Artanis quickly regained his composure and gave more precise instructions.
Notify the Miya sect first, then summon the paladins and crusaders, and then prepare to activate the Wall of Sighs.
Yeke got dizzy when he heard it. The Wall of Sighs hasn't been repaired yet. Why did the archbishop give orders indiscriminately
It's a pity that this communication barrier is not very durable, and it was interrupted after such a short time. Bishop Yeke had no choice but to carry out the order of his superiors, ordering the call of the Crusaders, and at the same time took Mitheran to the Mia Church .
But Gallo wasn't there...
The little loli dressed as a pastor told him that Gallo had gone to the suburbs with an old woman with purple hair who kept walking and swaying.
And the old bishop went to a tavern in the city, it seems to be called 'Roses with Thorns'
So Yeke and Misseran split into two groups, one went to find Gallo outside the city, and the other went to the bar to find the old bishop.
As a result, he had just arrived at the bar when he heard the news that an old murderer was tortured by the sheriff.
After a lot of useless hands and feet, he fished out the old bishop.
Then I asked again, only to find out that such a vicious incident had actually happened, that the betrayer Jin actually sneaked into the city of innocence!
Before King the Betrayer became the notorious 'Betrayer', he was the leading magic genius in the empire. Although he was not as exaggerated as the later Gallo, he was still shocking.
At that time, the titles and halos on his head and body were as dazzling as the sun, which was unprecedented and unprecedented. No one else could attract the attention, be sought after and worshiped by thousands of people like him.
But such a dazzling person, for some reason, betrayed his teacher and classmates, and created the sensational "Cold Pool Massacre".
He sacrificed more than 40,000 innocent people in that city to the evil god Eas.
It is precisely because of this bloody living sacrifice that the "God of Lies" and "Mother of Desire" can break free from the seal of the righteous God, exert more influence on the present world, and cause harm to the world.
This is why Yeke and Artanis are so nervous.
After committing a bloody crime, King the Believer fled eastward, intending to go to Visa Theocracy.
The empire offered a reward of 5,000 gold to capture this person, and he became the most wanted criminal in the empire.
That was the five thousand gold from almost a hundred years ago. Now, two more '0's have to be added at the end.
In addition to the staggering bounty at that time, the three major orthodox churches also offered generous conditions, such as the position of the next archbishop and the head of the church.
With such a heavy reward, there must be countless brave men going forward, like Artanis, who was only a cardinal back then, participated in the siege, but was still killed by Jin and fled to the Visa Ecclesiastical State.
After that, he disappeared...
Many people rumored that he died in the Visa Theocracy, or that he was taken as a confinement by Eas.
In short, people have gradually forgotten about this devil, and the amount of his reward has remained unchanged.
As a result, when people later wanted to arrest new criminals, they did not dare to let the amount exceed the figure of 5,000 gold.
Because even a person with a bad reputation like the Skull Crusher cannot be compared with the Believer.
It was the sin of the later mage Wenna, who interfered with the Wall of Sighs and lured the evil gods to the city of innocence, to suppress the betrayer who had disappeared for decades on the bounty list.
The old bishop also noticed the cold sweat streaming down Yeke's forehead, smiled, and comforted him:
"Don't be nervous, he didn't come over himself, he is still staying at Visa, just playing some tricks, trying to infiltrate here."
"He always likes to show off these little cleverness in front of me."
After hearing this, Bishop Yeke nodded first, then hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously:
"No disrespect... are you sure he didn't come over in person?"
"This involves the safety of the City of Innocence, I hope you can understand..."
The old bishop nodded and said very firmly:
"Of course, I'm sure!"
"Because 'Gallo' is here."
Bishop Yeke froze for a moment, feeling that the other party's tone was a little weird...
When he usually mentioned Jia Luo's name, it was very natural, just like a normal elder mentioning a younger generation.
But when he said Gallo's name just now, his tone was extraordinarily dignified and solemn.
As if talking about someone else...
at the same time...
Thousands of miles away, in the territory of Visa Theocracy, in an elegant and quiet chapel, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties suddenly woke up from an altar, struggling to sit up.
He was wearing a simple robe with a few patches on it, no jewelry on his body, and only a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He looked like an ascetic.
He is King the Betrayer, the devil who has committed many crimes.
Next to him, an old man in a black cloak and a crown of thorns stepped forward and helped him to sit up.
"The experiment is half successful."
The betrayer rubbed his face with his hands, straightened his plain teaching robe, and continued:
"The Saints are still sharp, but 'Gallo' isn't as strong as I expected."
"He's still growing..."
As he spoke, he looked at a statue in the middle of the church again, and asked in a low voice:
"Is this your choice? Miya-sama?"
The statue is somewhat similar to the mosaic statue in the Miya Church, but it has a clear body curve, only the face is still blurred.
The figure of the god is graceful, charming and charming, and without a trace, it exudes strong desire and strong hints.
There is no doubt that this is a serious blasphemy against the goddess Miya.
"Although I still trust you, as always, I have to remind you, my friend, 'Gallo' has sabotaged your plan twice..."
"It makes me wonder, are you overly optimistic about the situation?"
The old man on the side opened his mouth to remind him.
But the betrayer, dressed like an ascetic, smiled and shook his head, explaining:
"No, no, my friend, you are worrying too much."
"Whether it's the dead bones in the grave before or the upstarts later, after all, they are all worthless things. If 'Gallo' can't even deal with them, then the city of innocence would have been ours long ago."
After hearing this, the old man touched the gray goatee on his mouth and said:
"But even so, your two so-called temptations cost us a lot..."
"But compared to the City of Innocence, these are nothing more than trivial losses. You shouldn't be such a stingy person, right?"
The betrayer spoke softly, his tone was very much like a devil who tempted others to fall.
Seeing that the old man remained silent for a while, he continued to add:
"You participated in every experiment and witnessed it with your own eyes. Even I myself became an experiment and showed you the results..."
"What is there to hesitate about?"
"You are more aware of the current situation in the City of Innocence than I am. If we fail to seize the opportunity, all our previous efforts will be in vain. I believe everyone is willing to witness this happening, isn't it?"
The old man frowned slightly, and instead of continuing the topic, he changed his mouth and said:
"It's been hard work for you during this time, so take a good rest first."
"The rest, we need to discuss."
With that, he said goodbye to the apostate and walked out of the chapel.
After he got into the carriage and walked a long way, he looked at the scenery of Visa outside the window and said in a low voice:
"A guy like you, who would really trust you?"
After all, he raised his volume a little bit, and told the coachman:
"Tell people to keep an eye on this guy, and don't let go of any move!"
