Soul Echo

Zhong Ye They didn't wait long when the priest from the Church of the God of Commerce wiped his sweat and walked in.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

After pushing the door and entering the reception room, the priest saw Zhong Ye sitting on the sofa at a glance, his presence was too strong , just sitting there, it seems to fill the whole room.

——Perhaps only the hero who saved several cities from the abyss can have such aura!

priest wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck with a handkerchief, sat opposite Zhong Ye, and asked respectfully: "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I don't know if you came to us... is there something wrong? Just say, we will do our best to help you."

Others may not be quite clear, but the Church of the God of Commerce is probably the most well-informed organization in the entire Western Land, after all, they believe in Spiritual God They hold the priesthood of 'messenger'. Among the low-level diving techniques they can learn, there is [communication]. If the distance is too far, they can also deliver letters through the air, so their church is the most frequent communication among all churches. of.

even more how, the superiors also released Zhong Ye's information early, letting them know the existence of this 'hero' who seems to bring disaster.

Perhaps by chance, events happen almost everywhere Zhong Ye arrives. Now that he has come to Montreux, does it mean that there will also be events or are happening in Montreux?

After receiving the news of 'Zhong Ye's visit', the priest only had time to say sorry to the receptionist, and rushed over immediately.

Until now, his heartbeat seems to be accelerating.

The cooperation of the priority made Zhong Ye a little surprised.

He thought it would take more words to convince the priest in front of him, didn't expect he hadn't made a request yet, and the priest himself patted his chest and said that he would do his best.

...is his name so useful now?

These thoughts only circulated in Zhong Ye's mind for a few seconds, then he put them behind him, and immediately said: "I want to know the whole story of the assassination of the old lord."

"This..." Priest was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

Could it be that the death of the old lord had something to do with what was going on?

Seeing the priest gloomy and uncertain face, Zhong Ye thought for a while and added: "I think the old lord may have something to do with the cultists - of course, it's just possible."

"Cultist!!!"

priest jumped off the sofa and screamed as if he had been stung by something.

If it weren't for the sound insulation of the reception room, his voice would be enough to attract the church guards.

Lillian slowly put down her hand covering her ears, and looked at Priest with a weird expression. She didn't expect this thin looking man to have such a powerful explosive power, even if she timely Covering her ears, the sound almost pierced her eardrums.

"...Sorry, I lost self-control."

Looking at Zhong Ye for a few seconds, the priest slowly came back to his senses and said After apologizing, he sat back in a panic.

What should I do, what should I do, it seems that there will be an abyss invasion event in Montreux... No matter how bad it is, it is the level of cultists holding sacrifice ceremony, and the impossible is even lower!

The disaster 'brought' by Zhong Ye seems to be calculated according to the size of the town, and with the scale of Montreux, the probability of 'abyss invasion' is very great...

No ! Must be calm!

Although Zhong Ye will bring disasters, at the same time, he is also doing his best to save mankind. Most of the incidents already exist, but they just happened to be broken by him. Therefore, Montreux still has some help. - As long as he cooperates fully!

Zhong Ye watched the priest's complexion change several times after he sat down.

Isn't the death of the old lord not that simple, and there is something deeper hidden behind it?

"Cultists, cultists... um! speaking of which, this is a bit strange indeed."

priest calmed down and carefully recalled what happened three days ago, though It didn't take long for the incident, but it was still a little difficult to recall every bit of the whole incident.

"On that day, the old lord and bishop made an appointment to go to the construction site of the adventurer's house, but when the old lord was assassinated, the agreed time with bishop had not yet arrived-they agreed on the afternoon, but In the morning, the old lord went to the construction site surrounded by a group of guards."

With the description, the memory is slowly becoming clear, and the priest then remembered more things, "That's right! Sometimes the old lord would always take a team of guards and go out of the city. Although he said he was going hunting or fishing, according to our speculation, he might have an illegal child somewhere, and he went out of the city to visit the illegal child. In the previous battle, maybe it was to go out of the city to find his illegal child.

"As for why he went to the adventurer's house in the first place...I don't know, but he had an appointment with bishop that day. , it should be impossible to go out for too long - usually every time he goes out of the city, he will stay outside all day. "

There is still an illegal child?

Zhong Ye brows slightly wrinkle, this matter is getting more and more complicated.

"When the assassination occurred , No one in our church witnessed it, but according to other witnesses, someone in the crowd suddenly shot a crossbow arrow at the old lord, was blocked by the spell prop, and then ran over to assassinate while no one else was paying attention. old lord. "

Speaking, Priest gestured with his hand on his neck, "It was at this position, a knife stabbed in, and then the killer ran away for some reason, and even the transcender who was protecting the old lord failed to catch him. or kill.

"That afternoon, the old lord's eldest son announced his succession after receiving the father's body. You should also know about Hallstatt. Each city-state is relatively independent. There is no division of nobility and titles, the elder son is the first in the line of succession, as long as he announces his succession, then the city is his."

After listening to the priest's remarks, the doubts did not diminish. , but more and more.

Zhong Ye's brows furrowed even more, and he fell into deep thought.

After a while, he suddenly asked: "You should have had a lot of contact with 'The Lake of Xiyong'? Do you know what business they are doing secretly?"

"Ah, this, this..." Priest opened his mouth slightly, and a lot of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and his voice dropped, "This, you see, we are the Church of the God of Commerce, some things... some things We won't ask..."

"You know?" Zhong Ye suddenly wrapped his arms around him, "Still don't know?"

"Uh, know a little..." priest hesitated for a while, whispered, "but I don't know much, after all, we are the church of the righteous God, do not do these things..."

Not doing these things does not mean 'opposition', the god of business And his church attitude is to acquiesce. As the protector of business, if he even opposes these things, he will lose some believers.

——Compared with the primordial Spiritual God who possesses the mighty power of nature, these personality gods who were born out of faith and maintained by faith will also use some careful thoughts and expand themselves when fighting the abyss and protecting the world. belief.

And this also gave the abyss an opportunity!

“Before, I used a map of resources and dangerous routes in the Alps, exchanged some benefits with the caravan, and obtained some secret information from them. They said that they were only selling arms. Do everything else, like contraband, like human trafficking—you know what that means?"

priest broke into a cold sweat and kept wiping the sweat with a wet handkerchief.

The reason why contraband is 'contraband' is because those things may be made by demons and used to corrupt human items, including but not limited to life potions that increase lifespan, and those that make impotent people reborn. Potion, cursed weapon.

As for human trafficking, let alone human trafficking, there have been several incidents of cultists buying slaves and using them for blood sacrifice.

Nowadays human trafficking has been completely banned, and even the gods of business resist human trafficking. Once found, not only the people who carry out human trafficking, but also the local clergy and nobles will be punished - this It was also one of the contracts that Spiritual God signed with the nobles.

Spiritual God and the church can not interfere with the rule of the nobles, but at the same time, they must restrain themselves and their subordinates.

But now——

priest took a deep breath, pursed his dry lips, and asked solemnly: "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, are you sure you are telling the truth?"

p>

"I'm sure."

Zhong Ye replied resolutely and decisively, while taking out a contract from her backpack.

Without careful inspection, the priest recognized at first glance that this contract was a legitimate contract protected by the god of commerce.

"I hope you can cooperate with me when I act." Zhong Ye said softly, "It's not yet when the time comes, cultists are very good at hiding their identities, I still need some Evidence.

"But you can rest assured that this 'evidence' will probably not be long before I can find it. "
