Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 574 Turn around
On the edge of the cliff with a cold wind, the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks and rocks, soaring upwards like the roar of an angry beast.And the clothes of people walking in it will inevitably be blown up, like birds flapping on the black and gray rock walls, as if they will take off from the ground in the next moment.

In the shock of the crumbling sea waves, it forms an extremely small contrast with the vast and deep sky and sea waves, blurred coastlines and city outlines in the distance.However, there is actually another building at the other end of the sunken cliff.

It's just that this building is also embedded in the cliff as a whole, only the side facing the sea is made of large pieces of gravel, and the outer wall that has passed through many years shows some traces of artificial creation; Full of moss, vines and low bushes.

Therefore, if one cannot observe closely, it is difficult to find that there is actually a shelter with several layers hidden in the cliff.And Brother Francis Chet also introduced in a low voice: "This is where the internal members of the past generations of the order practiced and meditated. Therefore, outsiders are usually unable to enter; even if the members of the order want to To use it, it must be nominated by the dean of the cathedral, or one of the other six monastery abbots. But this time, someone obviously broke the commandments and oaths, hiding and sheltering unknown existences in it."

Under the feet of the tide rushing like ten thousand horses galloping and reverberating like thunder, Jiang Tian also came to this building.However, at the moment when the heavy outer door was gently closed, the cracks in the outer room roared, the waves roared, and the fighting and attack from the holy mountain all disappeared.

The air suddenly became warm and dry; it was like entering a completely different space.The stone floor has been used for many years, but it is still a soft and silent carpet when stepped on, and the lamps in the recessed part of the wall exude the comfortable smell of high-quality whale oil.

In the short porch, dark red velvet curtains are even hung; it is obviously very different from the hermitage described by Brother Francis Scochet, where priests stay away from the common world and feel nature.And this result also made his complexion even more difficult to look:

"How could this be?" The next moment, he pushed open the dark red curtain without hesitation, and rushed in first; then he let out another exclamation, and backed out in a panic. "...there are several corpses inside!", following the momentary opening of the curtain, there was a smell of blood immediately.

Jiang Tian, ​​who then stepped into the room, saw a rather magnificent hall with complete appliances, as well as several corpses lying across the floor among the messy and overturned furniture.Although they wore the most common gray hooded linen robes for ascetic monks, the elbows and necklines were exposed from expensive materials.

At the moment of death, distorted expressions of disbelief, horror, and anger were frozen on his face.The wounds on the bodies of these corpses did not look obvious, but they all fell on the vital parts of the body, such as the armpits, under the ribs, and the collarbone; therefore, the amount of bleeding was large and had not yet completely solidified.

Judging from their locations, it seems that they were caught off guard and were attacked from the side one after another; after struggling in pain and overturning a pile of objects, they died of heavy bleeding in a short period of time.However, there was nothing in the room, and the murderer seemed to have disappeared.

"There is still room underneath." Then Jiang Tian just stomped his feet a few times, and said without hesitation: Then Utred and Minnie, who accompanied them, smashed the ground and walls with their weapons without hesitation.Soon, under a pile of messy utensils, the concealed entrance was found.

After falling below, there is a cold and humid sea breeze in winter, and in an instant, along the deep downward spiral staircase and the horizontal corridor leading to nowhere, it makes people numb from the soles of their feet to the scalp.However, here, Jiang Tian once again saw a corpse leaning against the wall.

However, the linen robe worn by the corpse was open, revealing the white thick silk lining; and his lower body was also pierced by a sharp weapon, and he struggled painfully for a certain distance before dying; a short leaf hammer of monk style was embedded in the Not far away on the wall.This also allowed Jiang Tian to make up the image of an assassin.

Judging from the height of the leaf hammer thrown, as well as the location of the wound and the angle of penetration, the opponent is at least a very agile little man; and he is quite familiar with these followers/guardians, so he was able to attack in close quarters. One hit kills.This made Jiang Tian even more curious.

Afterwards, Minnie, who entered the horizontal corridor separately, quickly went back and shook his head at Jiang Tian.But Utred, who was going down the spiral staircase on the inner wall, heard roars and the sound of weapons clashing.As Jiang Tian leaped down from the sky, he landed gently at the bottom of the spiral staircase more than ten meters away.

Hearing the screams, Utred, who was holding a military straight sword, had just backhanded an attacker in a linen robe who flashed out from behind the stone wall; Blade sword, struggling to block the small group of armed men from the other end of the doorway.

And these armed men in monks' hemp robes couldn't help being startled when they saw Jiang Tianshu falling from the sky. Rolled to the ground, a large amount of blood splashed from the joints of his hands and feet.

"I ask you to answer, if you make a mistake, you will die!" Then, Jiang Tian stepped on the wound of an armed man who seemed to have the most expensive inner clothes, watched him screaming and asked calmly: "The first The question is, where is Princess Teresia, and who was the previous assassin..."

"Ah... stop... stop..., okay, let me say... let me say." The man, who was in pain and had tears and snot all over his face, screamed: "The princess has escaped!" It was just a while ago that there were no other attackers, we were attacked..."

After a while, Jiang Tian followed a passage in the rock wall and came to the edge of a cliff; it seemed to be another dead end.However, when he was about to turn around and find another way; suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a blood-stained cloth hanging in the low-lying bushes above.

After Jiang Tian ingested it casually, he was immediately convinced that it was part of a woman's skirt, just like Ms. Malena who was asked to dress in various images in countless boudoir games and was torn to pieces by his own hands. Underwear is average, and it is also used to wrap the wound.

As soon as Jiang Tian kicked his feet, he flew out of the cliff, and was in the midst of the oncoming earth and sea tide, and the moist air tumbling; Like a bird, it rises slowly on the wind; it hovers between the cliffs.

Until he saw that it was a bit higher than the location of the hermitage sanctuary, and the other side protruded from the outside like a columnar cliff, a dark red bloodstain that was easily overlooked.Along the direction where several bloodstains extended, Jiang Tian finally came to the top of the columnar cliff.

However, here he lost his target again, only the howling sea breeze, the swaying vines and bushes, and the severely eroded rocks under the wind, sun and rain.The next moment, Jiang Tian took a deep breath and suddenly shouted: "Teresa...Teresa..."

As the huge sound wave continued to reverberate between the mountain wall and the cape, it even overwhelmed the noise of the waves crashing on the shore for a while; and the bats and seabirds hidden among the rocks were shocked to fly like clouds.At this time, an inconspicuous mutation suddenly occurred.

Among the screaming and circling birds, a figure like a small black dot screamed and fell down from the corner of the cliff along with the scattered stones; in an instant, Jiang Tian could see each other It was a small man with short hair, and he was wearing a tan foam stud vest.

"He" was as stiff as a rock, his eyes full of horror and despair, and he rushed towards the suddenly enlarged reef, chaotic beach and surging tide; then, the moment he was about to hit the protrusion of the rock wall, his body suddenly live; face to face with a nest of chirping young birds.

Then, before the gull cub covered in white fluff habitually pecked up; it seemed to be equipped with a telescopic spring, and suddenly soared into the air; dancing and screaming, like a roller coaster He was thrown into the sky in a blink of an eye, and fell down in an instant...

In the end, the inexplicably terrified "he" fell into a firm and strong arm, but he passed out with his eyes rolling and foaming at the mouth.So, in the end, the problem fell on Jiang Tian, ​​because he felt some kind of warmth and moistness leaking from his arms.

Immediately, without hesitation, he raised the chest of this short-haired boy with a face full of dirt, well, it was quite obvious as a gender characteristic.Immediately afterwards, he pulled up his waist anxiously, and there was nothing strange about it.You can basically be sure that this is the goal you are looking for.

It's just that a princess who was able to rise up without hesitation and attack the church guard who tried to silence him in turn, and Princess Teresia who was able to play extreme sports on the cliff, did not fit Ms. Malena's description. ; Or what happened to her all these years?
At this time, the battle at the foot of the mountain was basically coming to an end.Under the counterattack from the ship of knights on the mountain, most of the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom had lost their fighting spirit and courage; they retreated to the port and the dock market, but no matter how urged by the officers, they refused to launch another attack.

At this time, there was another faint cry on the sea, but it was several large ships from the Holy Kingdom on the opposite bank. approaching the direction of Mont Saint-Michel.

This result also cheered up the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who had retreated to the harbor city, cheering loudly; however, after their cheering sounded several times; The prow burst open a large gap.

Immediately afterwards, it shattered in the middle as if the layers had disintegrated; in a blink of an eye, it suddenly turned into a piece of wreckage scattered on the sea, as well as many struggling and sinking human bodies... From despair to hope, to despair Sudden changes and gaps also completely disintegrated the soldiers on the island.
