A subjugated princess will never die a vagabond

"I'm just a senior investigator, this is not a question I can answer," Lehman said with a wry smile, "but in my personal opinion, even if the corruption of the monastery really affects Gringo, it cannot be the entire Pioneering Party... I have met people corrupted by profit, and I have seen people who have been taken advantage of because of corruption. However, from the perspective of attacking the heart, the corrupt monastery should not be able to use a large amount of materials to corrupt all the lords who are already rich. From the perspective of force, the great lords are not afraid of external challenges... The reason why the abyss is the public enemy of the whole world is because they are not satisfying desires, but the despair brought by deprivation of all satisfaction. I will pay homage to them with all my heart.”

"The process of gratifying desires can lead many people to their own depravity," Cloris emphasizes.

"Because of desire, everyone is facing corruption, but to varying degrees," Lehman sighed, "This will indeed give corruption an opportunity to take advantage of it. Maybe what we need to do is not to resist desire, but to control it, Put the reins on it."

Cloris smiled and said, "You are eloquent and understandable."

"The first rule of the investigator, see the path you are going on, and don't get lost." Leman pointed to himself, "I have been to many dangerous places. Compared with the harsh environment, it brings spiritual The torture is often more severe."

Cloris already knew that the Church of the Stars had been in the game, but now she did not intend to add fuel to the plot to promote the breakup and full-scale confrontation between Star City and Gulingdu.No one is willing to face such consequences, and no one wants to bear them. In the end, only the real lunatics hiding in the dark will profit.

And what they have to do is to find out these lunatics.

Cloris asked: "What should we do now? Balian has been captured by them."

"Charles Northon is the eagle dog of the lord group, not all the sergeants on board, he must strictly abide by the superficial procedures, and Balian will definitely be taken to the police station for interrogation," Lehman said, slapping his forehead , "Let's get on the boat quickly, I hope there will be time!"

After Cloris ordered Peggy to take care of the daily life of the nuns, she used a line to jump onto the airship heading east.

It is nearly [-] kilometers from here to Light Harbor City. Two hours later, Lehman stepped out of the Light Harbor City Police Department in a hurry. He changed his coat and took out the badge of "Special Investigator of the Explorers Committee" from a stack of documents. And documents, and said to the police officer at the front desk: "I am Commissioner Lehman of the Commission. This is the Commission's signing order. I need to see the criminal Baroda Balian immediately."

The city of Light Harbor is controlled by the Explorers' Guild up and down, and their salaries come from the guild rather than Gullingdu, so both the National Guard and the Police Department have guild logos.

The police officer accepted Lehman's request. She checked the files and took the three of them to the prison built next to the police station.

"This is unreasonable..." Cloris murmured suddenly.

"What's unreasonable?"

"Anyone can do the hijacking of the ship, why is it the corrupt believer Hermes?"

Lyman thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "According to the timing of the warship's appearance, if you hadn't appeared, Charles Northon would have wiped out the gang of air robbers, so he would have no chance to escape to Nar Island to catch Balian. , there is no risk of exposure... The accident is still an accident, but no one knows that there are more air robbers among the victims."

Cloris nodded, agreeing with Lyman's statement.

At this moment, a stretcher came out carrying a corpse covered in a white cloth. When Cloris looked over there, she suddenly found that Charles Northam was following him!

Seeing the girl approaching the door, the elegant middle-aged officer smiled gently: "Why are you here?"

Leman walked over and said, "Where is Balian, the committee wants to interrogate Balian himself!"

"Unfortunately," Charles Northam said helplessly, "Balian participated in the sacrifice ceremony where the cultists hijacked the merchant ship. He has..." The officer sighed seriously, "He committed suicide in fear of crime!"

490. Scored twice

Balian committed suicide in fear of crime!

Seeing Charles Northam's serious expression, Cloris felt a ray of indignation at being cheated by a fool.

A few strands of colorless thread went around the edge of the wall, pointing at the corpse carried on the stretcher in an instant, however, an invisible wind wall blocked where it passed, and within an extremely narrow range, the fierce air flow rubbed and burst out A ray of lightning flashed, and with a sound of "Zi", it was burned out by the fleeting lightning.

Cloris raised her foot and kicked Charles Northam in the vagina. The latter stepped back a little, and grabbed the girl's ankle with his bare hands. A phantom bubble shattered. With her eyes misaligned, she had already bypassed the officer and went straight to the stretcher. .

This is the police department, and both of them restrained their own strength, which was beneficial to Cloris.In the case of only combining two skills, her short-term explosive strength and continuous combat ability are always inferior to those of elite transcendents. Due to the extremely hasty fight, Charles Northam was unable to give full play to his comprehensive advantages.

The officer's fist wrapped around the Thunder Snake hit the air, and Cloris was like a white thread spreading out on the wall. She kept flickering and moving, and large areas of creep were burned to ashes. Countless strands of residual electric light compressed her moving space, causing The appearance.

Just as Charles Northon spread his arms to completely block off the corridor with a wind wall, Lehmann suddenly slapped the wall, and the wall immediately erupted with a strong gravitational force, pulling the officer's sleeve and slamming him Suction to the wall.

"Shh!"

Cloris lifted the white cloth with a thread, revealing Balian's swollen and purple face, with bloodshot eyes.

The battle stopped at this moment, Lehman withdrew his hand, he quickly walked around Charles Northon, and asked, "Is it Balian?"

"It's him..." Cloris nodded, and directly checked Balian's body, "There is no trauma other than the beating by the air bandit, and the remaining memories are very chaotic, and most of them stay in the conversation with Hermos. See It looked like it was suffocating."

The spirit and body of most ordinary people are inseparable. If one is damaged, the other will also become weak. If the body dies, the soul will decompose and turn into spiritual matter within a short period of time.

Most of the spiritual matter will be completely integrated into the spiritual world, and then spread to other worlds through the spiritual world, and only a small part will remain in the place where reality and the spiritual world overlap, and be used by dream walkers.

Charles Northam didn't take this opportunity to attack, he walked over and covered the white cloth again.

Cloris asked: "Is this what you said, committing suicide in fear of crime?"

Charles Northam said: "It was suicide."

Cloris reached out and grabbed the edge of the stretcher, and was about to lift it up, but Charles Northon pressed on the chest of Balian's corpse and pressed it back.

"You can't take him away," Charles Northam said. "Balrian is going to be cremated. I'm just doing justice."

"What an impartial law enforcement!" Cloris looked indifferent.

"Let's go, Ms. Cangsheng," Lyman said equally indifferently, "We don't need to go to war over a dead body," he stared at Charles Northon, and said, "I hope you can do the same when we look for something later." Kill the mouths of those witnesses in time."

"Silence?" Charles Northam was puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"The person you are loyal to is cooperating with the corrupt monastery," Cloris patted Balian's chubby belly through the white cloth, and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you know about it or not, since they risk the world It’s too bad, sooner or later you will be liquidated by everyone, and when we have the evidence, do you have any other way to survive as an accomplice of the evildoers?”

"This hat is too big, I don't think anyone can afford it," Charles Northam said with a slight frown, without changing his expression, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

He ordered his cronies to carry away Balian's body, while paying attention to the movements of Cloris and Lyman to prevent them from attacking suddenly.

But in the end, the girl and the investigator just watched them go.

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Nun," Charles Northon nodded, "I hope that when we meet next time, we can keep a friendly distance like the first time."

He didn't expect a nun to fight in such a violent way. Although the girl had been dodging just now, Charles Northam had a hunch that if he let those white lines spread out, he would usher in a wave of uninterrupted attacks .

Adults can't be careless when facing a child with a gun, not to mention from the previous fight, Charles Northon found that the opponent is an extremely mature fighter.

This seemed unbelievable.Not all Transcendents are good at fighting. Many Transcendents who are not threatened by survival will use their accompanying skills more in the field of work. For example, [tailoring] is only used for surgery or sewing, not for killing people.

A nun who looks sixteen or seventeen years old has such a strong and decisive fighting quality. Even though she looks soft and beautiful, it is difficult for Charles Northon to equate her with the nun of the temple. It is more like some forces A professional assassin trained.

"Better." Cloris watched as Charles Northam disappeared down the corridor.

"What should we do now?" Suni, who was hiding in the corner, came out.

Although she belongs to the Law Enforcement Bureau and has a temporary position in the investigation team, she doesn't know how to fight. If a conflict does break out, it is the best policy to protect herself and prevent her teammates from being distracted.

In fact, Lyman is not a combat commissioner either. Without Cloris to attract the firepower, he would not be able to survive a head-on confrontation with Charles Northam, so he could only run away.

"Report to the higher-ups and wait for the news." Lehman said helplessly, "At least we still have some clues, Ms. Cangsheng, on the airship, you said that the name Balian mentioned was 'Rhodean Krampus' right Bar?"

"Yes, do you know the name?"

"The lord of Camps Island is on the fourth spiral arm north of the Sea of ​​Floating Stars," Lehman said, "At the same time, he is also the spokesperson for the Campus Consortium behind the Pioneering Party, the largest food supplier in the Sea of ​​Floating Stars, and a banker."

"Can't you catch it?" Cloris asked knowingly.

"The lords and consortiums control the economy and resources of the Floating Star Sea. If there is no evidence, it will be unknown..."

Cloris understands this quite well.

In the city that never sleeps, she herself has to cooperate with many parties. Relatively close business houses like Pteris Canary are fine, and some forces that control other economic and trade exchanges. If Cloris is stubborn to the end, the food supply will be cut One item can make the city that never sleeps full of mourners.

You must know that the city council still has an enemy who has coveted Hurricane Island for decades-the real king of Ubu Noor, the demigod Uronos.

It is unimaginable what will happen to the city that never sleeps if those fools are pushed in the opposite direction.

Therefore, before gaining overwhelming power, in addition to demonstrating strength through the Valint family and the Church of the Sun to suppress disobedience, Cloris had to compromise with all parties and reach an exchange of interests, but this does not mean that she It has been going on like this, training Wolsey to start "commercial competition" with slave owners, and supporting outsiders such as Pteris Canary, are girls who deliberately weaken those local forces that hinder administration.

This obviously takes time.

To judge others by herself, Cloris felt that the Church of the Stars was also facing the same predicament.

Back on the airship, Leman sent the news to the Star Luo Temple in the form of a telegram. Half an hour later, he looked at the document in his hand and said to Cloris: "Ms. Cangsheng, the Lord of the Temple has summoned you."

"Meet me?"

Cloris was taken aback.

Isn't it only two days since we met?

To be honest, there is always a lingering fear in the girl's heart about a demigod at the level of the palace master.

Nothing to do, she could only follow Lyman back to the Star Luo Temple, and after stepping out of the depressing elevator, she stepped into the even more suffocating quiet hall.

The Hall Master did not sit cross-legged in nothingness this time. In front of her was the information gathered by the Milky Way, and all the information would eventually be gathered here after entering the Star Luo Temple.

Cloris looked at the black and white robe that seemed to separate day and night, and walked over cautiously.

She was thinking about what to report, when the hall master's clear voice suddenly sounded: "You should be in the temple at this time."

"Investigator Lyman said you summoned me..."

"I summoned you," the hall master turned around, with a majestic and displeased expression on his handsome face, "but you should be in the temple at this time."

Cloris had already heard the interrogation from the Palace Master.Needless to say, she must have reported to the Star Luo Temple that she abducted the nuns to the seaside to skip classes.

Of course, this news does not necessarily come from the temple. It is not a trivial matter for air pirates to rob a ship in the sea. , Even how many cats and dogs are raised at home.

Naturally, she, the nun of the temple, would become the most conspicuous piece of information sent to the lord of the temple, and then she was found out about the "evil deeds" of abducting nuns.

Cloris raised her tearful eyes pitifully, and said, "By the way, sister of the hall master, I saved many innocent people, and was almost killed by the air robbers. I..."

"You should be in the temple at this time." The hall master said again.

It's not over, isn't it?

"It's like this, because I'm new here, so everyone proposed to find a place to get together to enhance mutual friendship," Cloris said, "You know, democratic voting, I can't live up to everyone's kindness Well……"

"Oh, kindness." The hall master sneered, "Do you know why I let you go to the temple?"

"Because of my devout star belief!" Cloris said proudly and excitedly, "I have always been proud to bathe in the brilliance of the Milky Way!"

"Pious, proud?"

The hall master seemed to have heard a big joke, and even a thousand years of life experience could not suppress the anger in her heart.

She has seen countless despicable, tyrannical, evil, and dirty guys, but those maggots in the cesspit are not worth any emotional waves from her.

But the girl in front of her, this charming, cute, smart girl with excellent talent and potential, is actually such a brazen little bastard, how dare she openly proclaim the devotion of her faith after doing those unruly things!

Especially when the other party was still a temple nun arranged by her, the temple master's emotions were not only hating iron, but she wanted to pick up a ruler and beat the little girl's palms to pieces and her butt to bloom!

After all, the temple master is a decent person, and the epidemic doctor and nuns in her eyes should also be decent people, so it is difficult to make any inhumane lessons.It's a pity that if the hall master had an in-depth exchange of experience with a deceased nun of the church, he would definitely agree with her punishment of hanging naked and cutting her tongue.

Cloris looked upright: "I am proud of my devotion to the stars!"

The hall master glanced at her coldly: "I know I'm wrong but don't admit it, are you trying to challenge my patience?"

Cloris was a little embarrassed.

Such a pious expression was very useful to both Maxi and Moxiu, and even won the approval of all the epidemic doctors in the sacred ceremony of the epidemic doctor, but it was not very effective when it came to the hall master.

"Sister Palace Master, can you explain more clearly, I don't quite understand..." Cloris lowered her head innocently, and said in a rambling manner, "I know I should do what I can, and I can't put myself in danger just to save others , This is likely to bring unnecessary trouble to the church, but how can I let go of those poor people who are suffering? Besides, the other party is a corrupt monastery that I have tracked down for more than ten years. I have the responsibility to fight. This is my responsibility. Mission, even if I die, my red blood will melt away the black filth, and let the cold world feel the warmth of my heart..."

The intelligence did mention dangerous cultists and rituals. If it weren't for the quantifier of "more than ten years", the hall master would have almost believed this guy's lies.

How old are you, little girl?You started hunting down the corrupt monastery from the womb, right?

You really deserve to be a reformer's disciple, and you are full of lies from beginning to end.

The palace master approached Cloris step by step, and under the pressure of clear heels, the girl's heart throbbed, and she even forgot to make up a story.

The woman's slender five fingers pressed on the girl's shoulder and clenched it tightly. Cloris felt that her bones were about to shatter. She only heard the hall master say: "Unless you can communicate with the galaxy, go to the temple and raise three for me." Yue Xinxing, if you dare to take a step away from the temple during this period, I will lift your correctional facility."

"Hall, sister of the Hall Master, I have so many affairs of the Church of the Sun to deal with," Cloris panicked, "It's a little bit..."

"I haven't bothered with you for sending your friend to the temple in the name of the Tianshu Temple," the hall master said coldly, "The four sides of Hurricane Island are also a good place for preaching, but it's also chaotic. Onos repudiates the Church of the Upper Realm. Over the past 200 years, more than a dozen believers have disappeared in that waterway. Anyway, you are a nun of my church, and your property is the property of my church. The Church of the Sun is too busy to take care of itself, so in your name, How about taking the Gospel Correctional Institute into the Star Church? It also shows your 'piety'."

The last word, the hall master pronounced the word very heavily.

"I-I'm also a plague doctor..."

"You mean the newcomer epidemic doctor a few days ago? Huh!" The hall master raised his right arm, and just when the girl thought she was going to be slapped, the sleeve robe just flicked hard, "From the moment you appeared on Hurricane Island It’s been less than a year since you joined the Church of the Sun, you’ve only been a plague doctor for a few days, you’re the grandniece of a vampire, and there’s a priest of Grace House who is wanted by the Church of the Sun in the hotel. There are quite a few, but the status of your disciple, how old is it?" She looked at her like a torch, and asked, "Where do you come from?"

The old stuff?There are probably not many people in this world who are older than you!

Cloris was slandering, when the hall master suddenly said: "If you think about disrespect again, I will put you in a prison of nothingness for three days and three nights."

"Can you spy on my consciousness!?"

"You really think about it?" The voice of the hall master suddenly rose.

"No, Miss Palace Mistress, Miss~" Cloris took that arm, and coquettishly said in a voice that even made her feel nasty, "You say that I am a disciple, of course I come from the void."

The helpless sleeve and threat of the palace master gave Cloris the confidence to be confident. In a sense, she was somewhat similar to Sasha.

Sasha hated Lily ten thousand times in her mouth, but she didn't really do anything to her own sister.

Of course, Cloris knew that she and the Palace Master were not biological sisters. An old woman was more than enough to be her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, and she couldn't rely on friendship. Therefore, the girl was a little bit cautious and didn't push her nose too much.If the palace master was her own sister, there would be absolutely no psychological burden to pick it up.

The hall master looked at the pure and innocent girl on his sleeve robe, and said coldly, "I'll give you two days. After two days, you can go back to the temple to meditate."
