Walking through the street, Xiao Zhi and Frost entered a hotel.
This is the largest hotel in Gladys Town. The environment is not the best, but it has the most people coming and going. If you want to see the basic situation of Blaise with your own eyes, it would be better to choose this hotel.
There are quite a lot of guests in the hotel, and the lobby also functions as a restaurant. It's meal time at the moment, and the seats are basically full.
After booking the room, Xiao Zhi asked the boss if he could deliver the dinner to the room? After all, with Frost around, although Lord Hesse's appearance is still a secret on the mainland, it's better not to let him take off his helmet in such a crowded place.
The white-haired boss was wearing a dark blue robe exclusive to Blaise's service providers, with a gentle smile on his face: "You should be an adventurer from another country, right? But I still want to make sure, neither of you Believers?"
Xiao Zhi said, "No, is there any question?"
The boss smiled and said, "In our doctrine, it is not allowed to eat and drink in places other than restaurants, but if you are an unbeliever, you don't have to abide by this precept."
The boss handed a menu to Xiao Zhi: "Please order."
Xiao Zhi took it and looked at it, and was immediately dizzy by the dense markings on it.
There are many rules taught by Blaise, and there are many dietary restrictions, such as no chicken on the first day of each month, pork and vegetables on the second day, fish and milk on the third day, and cold meals on the fourth day...
Therefore, next to each dish on the menu, there is a large section of text telling you that some of them are fasting at a certain time, what can be used instead, and there are several ways to do it according to the teachings. choose.
At first glance, I simply don't know what else I can eat.
The shop has been open for many years, and the boss is very good at observing words and expressions. He noticed Xiao Zhi's tangled expression, and said in a sincere tone: "I'm sorry, customer, although you are an unbeliever, but the chef in our shop has faith, and he can't cook for you that violates religious teachings. recipes. If you feel troubled, I can prepare a set meal for you, all the ingredients in it are well matched, which can save you trouble."
Xiao Zhi quickly handed him the menu: "Okay, that's it."
Anyway, they didn't come to enjoy the food, it would be nice to have something to eat, it was better than eating bread.
After discussing the delivery time with the boss, Xiao Zhi and Frost walked across the hall to their own room.
On the way, he saw that people wearing Bresse-style costumes used round plates, which in their tradition represented the sun and symbolized light. The plates of those who are obviously outsiders are all square, which can be clearly distinguished at a glance.
The sound of prayer can be heard from time to time on the dining table belonging to the Bresse people. It is said that they have to chant different content for different foods every day.
to the room.
The room is not too big, with two single beds and a bathroom attached. In addition, there is a set of tables and chairs against the wall. It is not gorgeous, but it is enough.
The food was delivered quickly, because Breth taught the relationship between penance and self-discipline. Although the ingredients were fresh, they tasted tasteless and bland.

After dark.
Frost asked Xiao Zhi: "What do you plan to do in the future?"
Xiao Zhi glanced out the window: "Of course we have to take advantage of the night to make troubles, I think today will be fine."
Today's sky is not clear, so the night sky is also dark, there is no moon, only a little faint starlight, which is suitable for doing some sneaky things.
Xiao Zhi took out his ancestral black cloak from his backpack, said while putting it on: "First go see if they did anything shady at night, if you can find any news related to that old man Andre Better."
Frost also put on a black cloak to cover the white armor: "It's been five hundred years, it's not that easy."
Xiao Zhi smiled indifferently: "In case, it's always good to have dreams."
The corner of Frost's mouth raised slightly: "Yes."
He looked at Xiao Zhi, as if he would believe even if Xiao Zhi said Andre was an alien.
After getting ready, the two quietly left the hotel through the window.
Unlike the lively nightless city of Hilaris, all the shops in the town were closed, and no one was seen walking outside.
Because the believers of Blaise believe that the night will pollute their souls, only activities in the sun can be blessed by light. Outsiders generally don't travel at night. First, they have nowhere to go. Second, if they are discovered by patrolling soldiers, they will be closely interrogated, which is very troublesome.
The Athanasian who love to die don't like Blaise very much, which also makes the night here extremely quiet.
This facilitated the actions of Xiao Zhi and Frost. The two walked through the building lightly, carefully looking for unusual movements.
The night in the small town was very quiet, only the slight friction of clothing between the two of them. They almost went around the town, but they only saw a piece of silence. The residents of the town obeyed the teachings very much, and they couldn't even see the houses with lights on at night. All the houses were dead silent, if it wasn't for white The genius saw someone here, Xiao Zhi almost thought that these were empty houses.
The two had come to the edge of the town, everything was as usual, but they still found nothing.
Xiao Zhi said in a low voice: "A Sen, it seems that our luck is not very good—"
Suddenly, Xiao Zhi's voice stopped, because he caught the slight sound of footsteps coming from a distance.
The sound of footsteps came from the other side of the road, and they were gradually approaching their positions. Xiao Zhi and Frost hurriedly found a hidden position to hide their figures.
Soon, the owner of the footsteps came.
Xiao Zhi was a little surprised by the person who appeared, it was the priest he had seen in the church during the day, he was still dressed in white, with a gentle and tolerant smile on his face.
But walking in the dark with such a shape, it looks a bit intrusive.
The priest walked out of the town, followed by Xiao Zhi and Frost. They followed the priest out for a long time, and finally saw each other stop under a big tree, which seemed to be old, with thick branches, as thick as a few people's arms.
The priest stood under the tree. He looked around cautiously to make sure that there was no other person in his line of sight before turning to face the big tree.
The priest was chanting words, and while he was chanting, he sprinkled some white powder from his fingertips. There was no wind at the moment, but the powder seemed to be controlled by an unknown force, automatically forming a magic circle on the ground.
With the last syllable in the priest's mouth, the magic circle suddenly lit up with a warm yellow light, looking very holy.
Xiao Zhi held his breath subconsciously, reducing his sense of existence.
After a while, a knight in white armor stepped out from the circle.
The armor is inlaid with complicated golden lace, and there is a sun symbol of Bryce Cult on the chest. Without him introducing himself, Xiao Zhi also knows that this is the iconic dress of Bryce Paladin. Obviously the status is not low.
The priest bowed slightly to the paladin, and at the same time raised his hand and tapped his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger together in the middle of his chest, representing the unique sun's radiance, which is a common etiquette for Bryce believers.
The paladin returned the same salute.
After saluting, the priest took out a box from the storage ring and handed it to the paladin in front of him: "This is the accumulation of time, representing the devout faith of the believers, please send it to the Book Tower. "
The paladin took it solemnly: "Our faith will lead to a bright future."
If this scene appeared in other places on the mainland, it would look very strange, but it was a scene that Blaise could see everywhere.
Then, the two saluted again, and the figure of the paladin disappeared into the teleportation array.
The priest kicked off the white powder on the ground, and after confirming that there were no more traces to be seen, he leisurely left under the tree with a satisfied smile, then returned to Gladys Town, and entered the church through a side door.
When the figure of the priest disappeared completely, Xiao Zhi whispered to Frost: "Guess what's inside the box he handed over?"
Frost said, "Jimbe."
And it is the largest denomination, the one of 10,000 coins, so it is easy to carry. Although it looks like a small box, it can easily hold millions of dollars inside.
"I think so too." Xiao Zhi showed a thoughtful expression after finishing speaking, "It stands to reason that Bryce advocates asceticism, why would he collect money in secret? And give it away quietly at night?"
Frost quietly looked at Xiao Zhi's pensive side face, and didn't make a sound to interrupt his thoughts.
Xiao Zhi thought of the road to earning money he started to build Hesse, and seemed to understand something: "Perhaps... Blaise is also preparing for construction."
It's just that Xiao Zhi chose to trade and plunder the Athanasi people, while Blaise chose to squeeze the bottom-level believers in the country.
He looked at Frost: "But the news from various channels did not mention this..."
This speculation made Xiao Zhi feel a little uneasy, Brace was secretly building something, this is not good news. Hesse was Blaise's number one target, Xiao Zhi subconsciously felt that Blaise's action was aimed at Hesse, even if it wasn't aimed at Hesse, Blaise's secret accumulation of power would definitely not be a good thing for Hesse.
Frost whispered: "They mentioned the Book Tower, do you want to go and see it?"
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly. The book tower is located in Holland, the capital of Blaise, and it is the landmark building of Holland.
It is said that books from all over the continent are collected in it, with various contents and themes, even including many isolated books, and ancient books that have long been rumored to have been lost. Therefore, it also attracts scholars from all over the world to study. Li Daye and Wei Di are regular visitors. .
They also mentioned to Xiao Zhi that although the book tower is open to the outside world, it is heavily guarded inside. There are many checkpoints on each floor, and there are countless light magic circles inside, which not only ensure the safety of the books, but also can be used to show Blaise's strength, and become a way to show power to the whole continent.
Such a book tower is not a good place for Frost.
If the Pope of Blaise knew that the Lord of Hesse actually ran to die in the Book Tower by himself, he would be able to take off happily on the spot, and then live another five hundred years in good spirits.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was silent, Frost said, "As long as I don't make a move, there will be no death, you can rest assured."
Knowing that Frost would not let himself take risks alone, Xiao Zhi didn't bother to persuade him to give up. Thinking about it in another way, if Frost was going to a very dangerous place, Xiao Zhi felt that he would definitely follow.
Probably this is some kind of tacit understanding between the two.

Quietly to the hotel.
The two expertly turned the window back to the room, and did not turn on the lights in order to maintain concealment. There is still a little starlight outside the window, although it is not very bright, but it is enough for them to barely see the room clearly.
At this time, the night is already very dark. Although the player can continue to burst his liver, it will also reduce his physical strength. Because he was here for investigation, Xiao Zhi wanted to keep himself in peak condition during his stay in Blaise, so sleeping was the best way to recover his strength.
Xiao Zhi was taking off his cloak, but he suddenly paused and thought of something.
He turned his head to look at Frost, who had taken off his helmet, with a hesitant tone: "Asen, I seem to have forgotten to tell you something..."
Frost's clear platinum eyes looked at him quietly, waiting for Xiao Zhi's next words.
"Ahem..." Xiao Zhi cleared his throat, "Well... you were... touched... in Dana's tomb... so..."
Frost's eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't hide his astonishment. He obviously hadn't told anyone about this. Could it be... that it had already spread among the Athanasis? ? ! ! !
Also... was found out by Xiao Qi...
Who said that…
Xiao Zhi took a deep breath, then met Frost's astonished eyes, and said confidently, "I did it."
Hold on, as long as your skin is thick enough, I'm not the one who's embarrassed!
Frost: "..."
To avoid misunderstanding, Xiao Zhi added: "It was just an accident, I just wanted to touch the teleportation array."
Frost: "..."
Frost seemed to be down, and the expression on his face remained the same as before.
After a few seconds of silence.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing Frost's stiff movements, Xiao Zhi couldn't help laughing in a low voice. In order to avoid making too much noise, he even covered his mouth.
At this moment, Xiao Zhi suddenly had the joy of successfully playing a prank on Asen before, not only did he not feel guilty about being the culprit, but he also laughed so hard.
Since he lost his horse, his courage has become more and more fat. In his heart, the Hessian lord in front of him is no longer the big devil who can stop the Athanasi people from dying, but is with him in Hesse Friends playing in mud.
As a result, Xiao Zhi accidentally lost his footing and fell down on the bed.
With a "bang", the foot of the bed suddenly sank, and the whole bed tilted to one side, almost knocking Xiao Zhi on top of it.
Xiao Zhi had to hold back his laughter, he looked towards the crooked direction of the bed, lifted the sheet, and found a broken foot of the bed. It seems that the traces have been broken for a while, but they were barely covered with a little soil by some wicked guy, and they couldn't bear the force at all.
Xiao Zhi sat up on it without any scruples, of course the foot of the bed was disconnected again.
Xiao Zhi: "..."
Probably this is called getting carried away.
He can imagine what kind of eyes the boss will look at them when they check out tomorrow...
This time, the smiling person was replaced by Frost.
