The secret sewer room on the outskirts of the city was filled with a disgusting smell. Even if the door was closed, even if the cleaning magic was used, the nostrils of everyone still seemed to have a disgusting smell.
But whether it was the five heretic arbitrators or the paladin girl, they all acted calmly.
In the corner of the room, Lux squatted there, huddled into a ball, her left and right sides were swollen... Although she was not injured, the two slaps back and forth shattered her confidence and courage.
Now she is very clear that the group of people in front of her don't even care about her father, and even want to kill her, let alone her, an ordinary woman who relies on her father's shadow.
"Ronald, I don't mind if you involve me in your struggle, but I have to remind you again, whether Lux is dead or alive, and the decision of the city lord Nadette is also up to me, you can't intervene .”
Ronat smiled and said, "I'm just suggesting."
"You have surpassed. Arbiters of heresy can only be external, not internal." The paladin girl said lightly: "This time, for the sake of the saint, I will not entangle you with this matter, but if you get involved again If you get involved in factional struggles, I will excommunicate you."
For loyal believers, excommunication is a terrible thing, almost as serious as being sentenced to death.
Ronald smiled and said, "Yes, I understand."
Everyone knows that there is no way to reason with the paladins. Generally speaking, the nine-headed dragon can't pull back what they believe.
"Leave when you understand. I will deal with the rest by myself."
Ronald frowned, then sighed softly: "Ms. Tina, you need protection. I know you are very powerful, but Nadette, as the lord of the city, has thousands of elite soldiers, and, in case he sets up a hired If the Corps returns, then you are in danger."
"Okay, but you have to promise that you will never express any opinions on the matter of Nadette and Lacus." Tina thought for a while and agreed with the other party. She is not the kind of arrogant and stubborn People who can't listen to others.
Ronald hesitated, then nodded.
Lux hid in the corner, occasionally raised her head and glanced at Tina, her eyes were full of jealousy and resentment.
She thought she had hidden these little 'movements' well, but the people present were all strong, and they could perceive her general emotions just from the weak fluctuations in their spirits.
Just don't care about her.
After being separated from Heidi, Beta summoned Joan of Arc in a deserted alley.
As soon as the bird came out, it looked left and right, and then flew up to the corner with a swish, with its wings shielding its chest, and called, "Master, what are you trying to do by summoning me out of this kind of place?"
The corner of Beta's mouth twitched: "You seem to be a little bit wrong recently."
"I'm afraid of being murdered by you. Look at Judy, because you have grown a pair of wings, you made me like that." Joan had a frightened expression: "When I become a human one day, you must You will treat me like this, master, I tell you, I don't like your type, so don't make any decisions about me."
Beta waved his hand angrily: "Don't worry, I won't shoot you, and you have to change into a human form. Now go to the sky and help me monitor the Echo City, focusing on those white-robed priests. A girl who looks like a paladin."
"That's right..." Joan of Arc suddenly remembered that she was still a bird, and she muttered, "Recently I have been dreaming that I have become a human..."
Then it flew into the sky.
With the feeling of Joan of Arc, Beta felt that she had a new level of confidence in controlling the situation in Echo City. Regardless of battle or war, if there is not such a one-sided power gap, then the status of information and intelligence will be very important.
And Beta himself put on ordinary clothes, pretended to be a believer, and went to the Temple of Light to monitor.
Although the Temple of Light in Echo City has essentially turned to the Pope, the status of the paladins is too detached. If there is one, and it seems to be a tendency of the saint, it is difficult to guarantee that no one in the Temple of Light will change sides and quietly put The paladin takes it to the temple.
After all, the Temple of Light is huge and there are not many people, so it is very easy to hide someone.
Until late at night, Beta waited in the hotel room until Heidi came back.
As soon as she came in, she saw the map on Beta's table, walked over to look, and her face was beaming: "Did you buy the Echo Chou map?"
"This thing is a product of military control. Ordinary people or forces in the city can't own it. Where can I buy it in a hurry. I drew it myself. I observed it from a high altitude with the water environment technique. It's easy to do." Beta pointed Lightly tapped on the table, and continued: "The city lord's subordinates are also searching for them. When I came back just now, two groups of soldiers came to the hotel to check. So I don't think they are in the city."
In fact, the Water Boundary Technique can't float that high at all, it's only about ten meters high, and many tall buildings don't reach this height, so it's impossible to survey all the terrain of the huge Echo City in one afternoon, and only magic pets like Joan of Arc To be able to fly to such a height to overlook the whole city is something that even wind magicians cannot do.
Heidi leaned over, looked at the map, her eyes flickered, and she pointed to the outskirts of the city: "Here, here, and here... there is a large drainage channel space. There used to be many 'rats' hiding in it, but Later, it was swept by the city lord, and it should be emptied by now, and they may be hiding in it."
Beta thought for a while and said, "Then I'll check it out."
"I'll go with you, so I can take care of you." Heidi picked up his short bow.
"The smell in those places is generally not very pleasant, are you sure you can bear it?"
The more beautiful she is, the more she cares about these things. In the game, those female players would rather give up the generous mission rewards than go to this disgusting place.
"I've stayed in places that are much dirtier than that." Heidi smiled with the expression of someone who came here, and then said, "I hope these people hide in it."
"Let's investigate the situation first and try not to have a direct confrontation with them." Beta thought for a while and said, "If you encounter a paladin, run away immediately without any hesitation."
Heidi nodded. As a French citizen, she grew up listening to rumors about paladins.
She knows very well how powerful these paladins are once they start their hands.
"By the way, take these things for self-defense." Beta took out two scrolls from the mansion art space: "This is the perfect scroll I made."
Heidi smiled half-smile: "Hidden?"
Beta categorically denied: "No, it was done a long time ago."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything." Heidi walked over and hugged Beta gently: "After all, you have helped me a lot and know a lot of my secrets. If you really count it, I have the handle in your hands." right."
