At the southern end of Gangdian City, in the Jazz District, in a dark alley.
Da da da. Accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, under the leadership of senior investigators, a group of members from the Hunting Church finally arrived at the scene. When they saw the corpses of their colleagues in the alley and the scene of blood , each with solemn faces.
"It's that bastard again, damn it!"
The leading woman in robes cursed fiercely. She is highly valued by Selena and is responsible for handling the affairs of the city. At this moment, she is undoubtedly very negligent. When Selena returns from the secret place, it is very likely that she needs facing penalties for dereliction of duty.
There are only two ways to make up for this.
The first one is to deal with the ancient nobles and control the situation in the city with a thunderous force.
In this way, even if the Jixue Church reacts, facing the situation that is a foregone conclusion, they can only hold their noses and admit defeat, and there is a high probability that they will not stir up war again. After all, Gangdian City is just a border city-state, not a city of heavy civilization, far inferior to Nusha Port, Rin Snow City and other places.
Between the outbreak of a deeper conflict with the Hunting Church, or the sacrifice of the ancient nobles, the Jixue Church must have a very clear and definite decision. On this point, the Hunting believers who are also the Orthodox Church know each other very well. The latter is bound to be chosen.
However, the ancient aristocrats have been running Gangdian City for a long time, and their roots are deep-rooted. They already have some hunting members who are cleaning the Huangdian area, but the two sides are still in a stalemate. What's more deadly is that something happened to the Lonely Moon Ceremony, and it seems to be stopped halfway. up
Lucia looked up into the sky, seeking answers.
At this moment, the plant vines that had placed hope in their eyes no longer had faint blue spots, and floated down.
Such a strange scene also fell into the eyes of other people. Although no one mentioned it, Lucia knew the mentality of other people. It turned out that their confidence in this operation was faintly shaken in their hearts.
Right now, she can only take the second method, which is to get rid of the important target.
Even if the operation fails, she will not be punished by Selena for her negligence
"Immediately track down the whereabouts of 'Sulman Arthur Doyle' and kill him!" Lucia ordered in a cold voice, and immediately a member who was good at tracking stepped forward and took the initiative to assume the responsibility.
It was a blue-haired young man with a high forehead and slightly puffy bags under his eyes. He was wearing a monocle and walked up to the corpse of his colleague in the alley. There is a dark green light floating out little by little.
When the dark green light full of vitality, the stars fell on the corpse, they merged into it, as if certain traces on the corpse were born, and spread out a route that was also composed of dark green on the ground, step by step Extended into the depths of the alley.
[Orion], one of the sub-jobs of the natural archer, is also the best at hunting down the enemy's traces in the low-level hierarchy. Because of this, the hunting orders of the Church of the Hunt are often more deterrent than other churches in the world of Eternal Night.
In the previous hunts between the two sides, the investigators in the Hunting Church with the deputy position of [Orion] kept pursuing Suleman's whereabouts. Although they paid a heavy price, Suleman could not get rid of them, step by step. The range of activities is compressed.
In their view, just keep going
He will definitely be able to tear that exhausted enemy into pieces by relying on the crowd of people on the wheel!
"Chase!"
Lucia rushed into the depths of the alley first, and the others followed. However, before Lucia ran too far, she paused, staring blankly at the dark green traces left on the ground. The whole path was up to her In front of my eyes, it was interrupted.
Next to the interruption, there was the body of a burly man, which Lucia recognized. It was the captain of another investigation team. It was not weaker than her in strength, and it was also at the peak of the second order.
"It's gone." Lucia clenched her silver teeth, and an uncontrollable look of anger appeared on her pretty face. At this moment, as one of the candidates for the priest of the diocese, how could she not understand the special ability brought by the [Orion] deputy? [ Grasp the clues], the real reason for the interruption here
This can only be done with the help of space movement in the imaginary world!
Otherwise, as long as there are clues left on the other party, unless it can be removed actively.
However, the information on the clue path shows that the 'Sulman Arthur Doyle' has not mastered the corresponding ability and does not have the ability to clear the clues, so there is only one explanation. The other party is using the space of the 'virtual world' to move, this is the mage The exclusive ability of the profession!
In the cold land of the north, mages are such a rare profession that there is only one Orthodox church, which has mastered the incomplete path.
"Water! Silver! Heaven! Scales!!!"
Lucia almost gritted her silver teeth and let out a roar like gnashing teeth. At this moment, she seemed to understand the reason—
Suleman Arthur Doyle is the spy placed by [Mercury Libra] in Steel Code City. After all, when the Church of the Hunt launched the 'Lonely Moon Ritual', as their old enemy [Mercury Libra], he believed in Silver Moon The Lord's Silvermoon Church must definitely obstruct it.
It's like the Church of the Hunt, keen to hunt down the absconded descendants of the Stuart family.
The Silvermoon Church will not let go of everything, it can give the Hunting Church eye salve, and increase the chance to respond to them!
"No wonder Suleman Arthur is so close to the ancient nobles. It turns out that he is a pawn of the Silvermoon Church." Lucia clenched her palms tightly, ignoring that these words were heard by others, or rather, As faithful believers of the Hunting Church, they had already guessed the mastermind behind all this. They all looked very similar to Lucia, and they all gritted their teeth, with veins protruding from their foreheads.
"Besides the Silver Moon Church, which external force can cultivate such a character? A wild transcendent? Heh! They can't do this!" Lucia confirmed her guess more and more, and her thinking became clearer and clearer:
"Mercury Libra, we have arranged a group of pawns in the civilized city-states where we are stationed, so as to interfere with our important actions at critical moments. That's right! That's it!"
"This Suleman is far superior to the wild ones in terms of his fighting ability and his personal mastery of extraordinary power, and even the descendants of the ancient nobles of the small and medium levels are not as good as him."
"Only Rinxue City, or Fushi Palace, that kind of place is second only to the ancient nobles of the Orthodox Church, and their direct descendants have this level. Oh, obviously Suleman does not have this status, so he can only It is the seed carefully cultivated by the Silver Moon Church!"
Boom!
Lucia slammed her fist on the wall, the anger in her heart left her nowhere to vent, and she was about to say something.
Suddenly, there was a huge tearing sound from above. The next moment, everyone looked up and saw the plant cover in the sky was torn into pieces by invisible force, and large pieces of plant fragments fell down. Shrink their pupils.
at the same time,
A faint red mist permeated above, seemingly flimsy and breakable, but it forcibly blocked the wind and snow, and blocked the natural power of the cold wave.
This. This is? !
Lucia's heart was shocked, and the next moment, there was the sound of drums beating in her ears, like a warrior beating drums in the arena!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
She only felt that her legs were weak, and her body couldn't help losing strength. Not only that, everyone around her was also hit, and fell into the same predicament as Lucia. You can only turn your head and watch everything happen.
Da da da. A pair of fair and dazzling slender legs quietly stepped on the pool of blood. When I looked up, I saw a red-robed woman with a graceful figure and a charming appearance, stepping gently on the pool of blood. She was naked. Both feet, the skin is dazzlingly white, the facial features are beautiful and mature, especially the charm at the corners of the eyebrows, which is more profound than that of Ms. Hei Die, making people sleepless at night.
"Is it what you guys did to mess up this rural place?" The red-robed woman spoke softly. Her voice was very pleasant, like a nightingale song. Just by hearing her voice, I could tell her age was seventeen or eighteen at most.
"I"
Lucia tried hard to raise her head, but sadly found that her body couldn't get enough strength to support her move.
This group of investigators belonging to the Hunting Church, professionals who have already stepped into the superhuman realm, were unable to move, and they also couldn't lift their heads. They couldn't see the face of the red-robed woman, and could only hear her disdainful whispers. —
"boring."
The next moment, there was a scarlet gust of wind in front of everyone's eyes, and only her declaration was left in their ears: "This is the end of the matter. In addition, I will report this matter to the Council of Saints. If you don't want to taste the war It's better for me to restrain myself a little bit."
"After all, the cold land in the north is not your hometown."
As soon as the words fell, the scarlet storm had gone away. For a moment, the people in the dark alley were like being salvaged from the water. Their backs were soaked in cold sweat, and their hearts were full of fear and fear.
In Huangdian District, on the central street, under the shadow of rows of high-rise residential buildings, there are a large number of supernatural beings fighting.
There are people from the ancient nobles, loyal believers of the Hunting Church, and even the investigation team of the Snow Sacrifice Church. The three parties hold each other in check.
Suddenly, they felt their bodies go weak, bursts of strength were drawn away, and the special abilities that were originally stimulated by themselves were also reduced to a limit.
Those who released the ice ability watched helplessly as the ice on their hands turned into small snowflakes, which were instantly melted by the temperature of their palms.
Someone hugged his hands, intending to release the sun-like evening light. As a result, a little spark appeared on his arm, which was instantly blown out by the night wind, and the halo could not even be dyed.
Their power seems to have been extracted from their spirituality, becoming mediocre and simple.
Before everyone could figure it out, they were paralyzed on the ground when they heard the sound of footsteps coming from the night, da da da. The next moment they saw a pair of dazzling white slender legs and gracious jade feet gently stepping on the ground in the scarlet storm that was sweeping over. A beautiful woman in a red robe stepped on the ground under everyone's gaze. Enter the battlefield.
Although she looks like she is in her early twenties, no one will underestimate her. In a world with supernatural powers, appearance is by no means the criterion for judging age.
"Master Hong Hong Ji!"
There was a sudden exclamation, and the person who made the sound was the gray-haired old man in white robes. He was the highest-ranking member of Jixue Church in Gangdian City, the parish dean Moore.
It is definitely not a person of ordinary status who can make him call out the word 'adult'. After all, the two parties are not an orthodox church.
There is only one possibility, and that is that the other party is a [Holy One]. Low and mid-level people must maintain respect for high-ranking Holy Ones, because at least in name, they are still the five major churches of the Northern Alliance.
"The little farce between you, I don't want to get involved. This matter is over." The red-robed woman glanced at them, as if she was speaking very ordinary words, but the result of these words was the war in everyone's hearts. The intention was to be pulled away by the madness, and there was a faint feeling of 'I don't want to fight anymore', 'Let me take a break', 'I'm so tired' and so on.
At this moment, whether it is the loyalists belonging to the ancient nobles, the loyal believers of the Hunting Church, or the diocesan dean of the Snow Church, Moore, and the pardon councilor who has stepped into the third rank, they all deeply understand There is a huge gap between the two sides.
If the level of dawn just makes them feel scary and powerful, then the red-robed woman in front of them makes them feel desperate. The gap that cannot be bridged is like a huge gap in the essence of life, and they cannot afford to go against it.
In the next second, she turned around and walked out of the city, leaving only words that went with the wind:
"The mess in the ground, you send someone to clean it up yourself, and finally, say hello to that stinky bitch in Lin Xuecheng for me."
"I have to pick up the little guy."
Wow!
The scarlet storm swept away, leaving only the people who lost their fighting spirit, looking at each other.
On the snow field, the morning sun shone on the two of them.
"Ibis"
Suleman looked at the blond girl in front of him, and his heart was faintly touched, as if something soft had been melted. Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, sparks shot out from the wreckage of the nearby carriage without wind.
boom! boom! boom!
Bursts of sparks shone on the snow field, making the originally gloomy environment with only morning light suddenly bright.
Immediately afterwards, a scarlet storm surged from the flames, blowing the hair of the two people, and the next moment, a figure emerged from the scarlet storm. When the entire storm dissipated, the two saw the beautiful red robe The woman walked towards them step by step.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the opponent's footsteps was like a drum beating. For a moment, Suleman felt as if the power in his body was inexplicably drawn away, unable to activate his special ability, like a fish at the mercy of others, lying quietly on the chopping board.
This. This is? ! Suleman's pupils shrank suddenly, suddenly aware of a possibility.
at the same time,
In the shadows that they couldn't notice, the black abyss tome that had been like a corpse in Suleman's pocket suddenly trembled, and then it slowly opened without the woman in red robe noticing. Eye.
The black-colored eyes rolled, faintly piercing through the barrier of the clothes, and stared firmly at the red-robed woman in front of her!
