Infinite Mask Game.

Chapter 107 The Death of the Priest
It is impossible for Ximen and others not to discover the secret passage, but they did not find it.

Was it because she was afraid that she and the priest would leave behind some tricks, or simply gave up on the hunt, or was it fishing for law enforcement and waiting for them to return?

Wei Miao didn't intend to go back and have a look, but went southeast into the mountain.

Although this world is plagued by divine flames and lava is everywhere, at least there is still the most basic ecological environment.

Sparse and peculiar vegetation is distributed on the mountain, and small animals adapted to the hot environment inhabit it. A river continues here from the southern coast with difficulty, bringing a meager source of water.

The world's land-to-sea ratio is about 3:7, the number of marine organisms is decreasing year by year, the sea level is lowering year by year, and the sea water is hot and bitter.In the seaside towns in the eastern part of the empire, fishermen have become an out-of-print occupation.

After a day's rest, Wei Miao, who had fully recovered, embarked on the road to Erles early in the morning, alternately galloping and walking slowly, and arrived in Erles in only half a day.

There are different sizes of towns and cities. Relying on the long-distance horse-drawn carriage industry, Erles has a prosperous business and is one of the transportation hubs in the south.

A spacious black soil road runs through the small dense forest and leads directly to the gate of the city.

Near Erles, the small roads from all over the place converged to the main road, and carriages sped past on the deserted road from time to time, and thin ashes were scattered.

Wei Miao was walking by the side of the road, and saw the city gate from a distance, and there were guards guarding the gate.

To be precise, it is not guarding, but "intercepting".This is a good job, specially collecting tolls from passing merchants, and the guards can often put some small money into their personal pockets.

Her gaze shifted to one side, and she saw a corpse hanging on the outer wall next to the city gate.Only those who have committed serious crimes will hang their doors for public display.

But when she observed it carefully, she felt that this figure looked very familiar.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"That's... the priest?!"

A rare sense of surprise made her stop.

She thought that the priest had already arrived in the imperial capital, but unexpectedly, he died in Erles? !

Did he show his feet and was besieged to death by the local Holy Fire Church, or was he chased and killed by Ximen and others?

For a moment, she felt that Erles was a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

Wei Miao closed her pitch-black eyes, and moved forward as usual.

There is a high probability that the priest's death has nothing to do with Simon.

Without knowing that she and the priest would part ways, if he wanted to stop them, Ximen had to go out in person, or call dozens of fire spreaders, and even in a big town like Erles, there were at most fifty fire spreaders.

Now that information transmission is inconvenient, it is simply impossible to gather people in a short period of time.

There are three main roads leading to the outside world from Alede, and it is impossible to deploy manpower on each of them.And once the wrong path is gambled, all the arrangements will be in vain, not to mention, even if Ximen does it himself, it may not be able to stop the two of them.

With such a huge investment and huge risk, the prudent Son of the Flame would directly choose to give up the hunt.

So, who killed the priest?

Wei Miao walked to the gate of the city calmly, her eyes naturally moved up, and looked at the priest's body.

There were scorched holes on the white vest, the skin was swollen, and some parts were scorched black. Half of the white fever that had been properly cared for had disappeared. There is no doubt that this is the masterpiece of the power of the divine flame.

Most of the attacks of the flame spreader have a burning effect, and the scorching heat is extremely destructive.

The wound on his body was a sharp weapon wound, like a sword wound, smooth and deep, and the blood had coagulated.

He lowered his head, his face was solemn and stiff, because of Yong Ye's physique, there were no corpse spots on his body, and he still maintained his appearance when he was alive.

The priest who had been with Yuffia day and night for more than ten years lost his life like this, and was hanged beside the city gate in embarrassment, for passers-by to ridicule and spurn him.

But Wei Miao didn't feel much sadness in her heart.

Uffia has great compassion for the whole world, and she doesn't have particularly strong feelings for individuals, even priests.

For the death of the priest, at most, I mourn but not hurt.

She handed over the toll she had prepared to the short and fat guard at the gate, and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Why is that person's body hung on the city gate?"

He looked directly at her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, "The priest who is said to be from the Eternal Night Church came here a day ago and was killed by a powerful fire spreader."

Appearance and aura are also a kind of weapon. Those who can take up this position must have dignitaries standing behind them. Only by making them look at you differently will they put down their posture and talk to you.

For example, now, Wei Miao can talk to him a few more words.

She smiled and said, "Oh, I'm very interested in that powerful Fire Spreader."

"Then you're asking the right person. The fire-bearer came from other places a few days ago and has been stationed at the city gate. I asked curiously, but this aloof fire-bearer didn't say anything."

"Later, he made a move and easily subdued the lackeys of the Eternal Night Church. He asked me to hang his body on the city gate and left."

Wei Miao: "Do all the adults in the city agree?"

The management of Erles town is in the hands of the powerful class, and the Holy Fire Church is only involved in profit sharing and maintaining order.

"Well..." He didn't say it clearly, but said, "The fire spreaders of the Holy Fire Church are very supportive."

It seems that it is not in favor.Because this move would intensify the conflict between the Church of Eternal Night and the Church of the Holy Fire, which would be detrimental to Erles' management.

"Anyone know him?"

"Anyway, I don't know him." He finally got a little impatient, "It's time for you to go to town."

Wei Miao nodded, "Thank you."

If you ask again, you should be suspicious of your identity.

She stepped into the city calmly, raising her vigilance to the highest point.

A premeditated fire spreader, who knew the priest, and she, was waiting for him in Erles in advance, or they fell into the trap.

It shows that he is closely related to the church attack, and everything in Alade is under his control.

She prefers that all three roads are guarded.

It's not difficult to get to know Father Webb. He used to be active in the imperial capital, and he often came forward to issue Harry's orders.Some firebearers did see him.

The most difficult thing is to know that the night watchmen live in the church of Alade, and their specific identities are Father Webb and Sister Eternal Night.

This goes back to the previous conjecture, who leaked the news, and what is the purpose?
And the person who received the news sent fire spreaders to intercept and kill the poor priest.

It is worth mentioning that not only the Church of the Holy Fire can send out fire passers, but also the Holy Fire lineage as the royal family.

Although the royal family itself is not suitable for practicing as fire passers-by, as the top leaders of the Holy Fire Church, they classify some fire passers-by as "pro-guards" to protect the safety of the noble blood of the holy fire.

The SS has completely separated from the church and only obeys the emperor's orders.

Today's Holy Fire Church is nominally led by the eldest prince Jacob, who can mobilize the fire-bearers of the church.

Connie can only mobilize the Night's Watch.

The second prince, Migler, has no personal power due to various reasons, and has no relationship with the fire spreader.
