Chapter 399 Aril Sigalia (5k)
——Ratama City!
Luo Xiu, the "bishop" of the church who was sitting upright on the other master, nodded slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Ratama City" was the name of the city that was obtained by the "Divine Light Instructions" before - a new group of "Abyss Beasts" would appear.
Because the "Divine Light Order" prayed for the surrender of the real oracle - this also had a certain impact when Luo Xiu, Abert, Alfan and Eureka agreed on the expedition plan at the beginning of the expedition.
"Latama City" is a great city that you will definitely encounter on the way to Favna City during the "Sacred Expedition".
And that is also the experience field that Luo Xiu has prepared for his players to "swalking monsters"-
"Our next goal is 'City of Ratama', which is on the barren plains one hundred and forty miles west of the Fortress of Caffre."
While Luo Xiu was recalling and thinking, he listened to Albert continue to say in a low and majestic voice:
"That is the guide of the 'bishop' with divine light to send the oracle - we have learned that there is a disaster that will be born."
As he said that, Albert's eyes turned slightly and looked at Luo Xiu, who was nodding slightly and closing his eyes to think about something.
Feeling Albert's gaze, Luo Xiu nodded lightly and said softly:
“…that is a place that is unblessed.”
"The seeds of disaster have taken root and sprouted there, and [Glory] will purify them. To go to our ultimate goal and reach the city of Favna, we must first overcome this place and destroy the disaster here, Entering Latama City.”
“…”
Following the lines prepared in advance, Luo Xiu finished this in a gentle and clear voice, then closed his eyes and nodded again, returning to the posture of listening at the beginning.
Albert nodded, glanced at the people under the two master seats and in the synagogue, and said:
"That's what I mean."
"We have known about the city of Latama. There are three 'sentence officers' guarding there, and we have also learned about the identities and names of two of them."
"It was two days later, after the Expeditionary Force had sufficient rest at the Caverry Fortress, we set out again and set out for the 'Latama City'."
...
Afterwards, the meeting in the Caffrey Hall lasted for up to two hours.
When "General Thunder" Albert Perez and "Biedo" Rothus Carlos reached a unified opinion at the beginning, the rest of the people made "City of Latama" the next goal of the expedition. There is no objection.
Afterwards, General Albert, the "Commander of the Expeditionary Force, disclosed to all participants the information of the garrison officers in the "City of Latama".
Two "sinders" who have already known their identity and name - one is the [intellectual] fate, "all-knowing seat" Kalivian, who masters quite evil alchemy techniques, and he seems to be "hidden" with "hidden" The omniscient person has a thousand connections.
Another "sinceremonial" is the [Supreme] fate - he is a "Shizophrenia", the "Sword of Shizophrenia" specially granted by the Dark Grand Duke, "The Viscount Lost", Yassod, and He is also the one who has the same status as Favner, second only to the lord and the "CEO" Favner.
The identity of the third prisoner is currently unknown. However, for the two prisoners who are known and stationed in Ratama City, the combat power of Roshu and Abert should be enough to deal with them.
——This is Albert’s judgment.
But Luo Xiu actually knew that with Abert's current state, if he really arrived at Ratama City, he would still be a little dangerous if he was besieged by three prisoners.
Because the injuries Albert suffered during the previous battle for the Red Maple City Guards have not yet healed, although his left arm cut off by the "Silver Blood Dragonborn" Quilton has been continued, it still needs some recovery time.
The best situation is, of course, Albert should not participate in any fierce battles, and all enemies belonging to the "Fifth Destiny" and above will be left to himself to solve-
Luo Xiu did think so, because this not only makes Albert owe him a lot of favor, but also can enjoy the rewards of experience and expertise, and advance the promotion task as quickly as possible [Sacred Wings' Ascension 】Progress.
He had a full plan. For the promotion mission [Assault of the Holy Wings], the 20,000 "Divine Punishment" point progress required by his mission goal 4 should be able to be fully pushed before arriving in Favner City.
Now he can kill the saints who are in the "Fifth Level of Destiny" and can also steadily obtain a "epic" and above specialty. After being promoted to the Sixth Level of Destiny, he will kill these prisoners. It is difficult to obtain such quality expertise.
The surplus value of the upper limit of the crushing level belongs to yes.
It is based on these considerations that it may be a good thing for him to not participate in the battle or try not to participate in the battle as the main force.
After all, if the [Supreme] God Seal Knight really wants to fight, it will cause great damage. It is not so easy to grab heads from Albert...
In the "Five-Level Fate Path", except for a very small number of old monsters like the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice", there are few saints at this level who can pose a fatal threat to themselves.
Even without Albert assisting in the fight, his own safety should be guaranteed...
Luo Xiu thought about this.
However, there are still some difficulties in keeping the guards like Latama City, where there are three or even more "sentencers" at the same time, and it is still a bit difficult to face them alone.
But of course—they have not only prepared in advance.
The commander of another expeditionary force that set out at the same time as the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force and embarked on the journey of trial - "Rin, a "Divine Seal Knight" from Snold Fortress in Matsubara and the third seat of the "Round Table" General Winter" Lansas will face the city from another direction while the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force arrives in Ratama City and meet with the Red Maple City Expeditionary Force.
However—this information was not announced in the synagogue. It was only known to Abert, Roshew, and several Supremes and priests of the "Fourth Destiny Path".
What the subsequent meeting mainly discussed was the allocation of some details and the tactical arrangements in some details-
And that is mainly the home court of the supreme people of the "Border Court".
Most of the time, Luo Xiu and the priests in his church only listened, and only when Abert asked, Luo Xiu expressed some opinions in time.
He did think that everything was good, and Albert and the throne knights in the "Border Court" did know the battlefield better than him. As long as the tactics they decided to do had no major loopholes, Luo Xiu would not say much. .
For him, "quietness" and "listening" maintaining a sacred and solemn image is more in line with the identity of a "bishop" in such occasions.
...It's just that it's true.
Just like in my previous life, I had to hold a smelly and long regular meeting every Monday morning when I went to the company every week—
However, in comparison, it is still much more interesting to listen to the strategic arrangements and tactical formulations discussed by the Supremes of the "Border Court".
...
Until two hours passed, the meeting in the synagogue finally ended.
All the extraordinary people who were "Fourth Level of Destiny" and below left the synagogue one after another, and when only Abert, Luo Xiu, and a few of their accompanying waiters were left in the huge synagogue, Abert also came from He stood up from his master's seat and came to Luo Xiu.
A relaxed expression finally appeared on his face, and the previous meeting did make him feel a little nervous-
"Sometimes, I really envy you, Luo Xiu."
Luo Xiu heard Abert say to him:
"Even in such occasions, you can still maintain a certain degree of slackness."
Slack...
He always felt that Albert's evaluation of him was strange, but inexplicably quite well-placed, so he stood up and said with a smile to Albert:
"Just because this is not a 'sacred' occasion."
"If the church will hold a 'God' ceremony or a 'altar ceremony' next time, I will invite you to come too, Lord Albert."
"At that time, you will be the one who can feel 'relax'."
"Haha, if you have a chance," Albert smiled.
The relaxing atmosphere like this did not last long. Albert quickly restrained the smile on his face and said to Luo Xiu's correct expression:
"So, now--it's time to 'visit' that old friend and have a good chat with that 'Ariel Sigalia'."
"That Sigaria must have known many secrets about Favna's reign. It helps us make plans in detail and prevents us from neglecting something important."
After a pause, Albert's expression became solemn, and he continued:
"And - I want to know from him that there are people from the [Supreme], [Intellect] and even your [Glory]."
"So, let's go with me, Luo Xiu?"
"This is my invitation - that Sigaria might be afraid to see me, but she should not resist seeing you."
“…”
"Yes."
Luo Xiu nodded.
He had no other arrangements afterwards, so he just went there with Albert. Just so, maybe we can know some inside information about the infiltration of the Gold Bank from that Aril Sigaria.
He can also take this opportunity to meet more people from the "Golden Kingdom", and maybe in the future, he can use it as a bargaining chip for himself to negotiate new cooperation with the shareholders of the "Golden Kingdom Bank".
...
It is approaching evening.
Fortress of Caffrey, Sigalia Mansion.
This is a manor house built on the secondary street. In the afterglow of dusk, it stands next to the lonely and deserted street.
The old stone walls are covered with mottled erosion marks, moss grows freely between the cracks of the walls, the iron gate is already rusty, and the door is half open, as if it is inviting the wind and frost of the past.
The four "Guard Knights" who had already received the orders from "General Thunder" Albert were stationed in front of the gate on this side. The other three sides of the Sigalia mansion also arranged guards to guard the guards, not allowing any unrelated people to enter and exit the mansion.
When the guards saw their "General" Albert and the "bishop" of the church appear before them, they put the long weapon they held on the ground and respectfully greeted the two high-ranking people. military salute.
"How is the situation, Avery?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"General, and the Bishop."
The leader of the Imperial Guard Knight named "Avery" reported to Abert and Roshew:
"Three hours ago, two 'Black Tooth' tried to sneak into the mansion, and were killed on the spot by us."
"Their purpose?"
"That is the extraordinary person of [Ku Tu], and his profession should be an assassinator - their purpose seems to be to assassinate Aril Sigaria, and they did find only poisonous daggers and hidden weapons on them. Nothing else was found."
"I understand."
Abelt nodded and said to Avery, "Knight of the Imperial Guards":
"Continue to monitor the place closely. I will go in with the Bishop and do not let anyone get close to it."
"Yes." Avery responded briefly and without hesitation.
Then, Abert and Roshe walked towards the Sigalia mansion.
In Luo Xiu's eyes, the first thing he noticed was the weeds in the courtyard inside the mansion, and the rows of withered shrubs barely outlined the exquisite gardening of the past.
It has been a long time since I asked someone to take care of it.
It seems that Arel Sigaria's life in her later years was also quite embarrassing. He still owned this mansion, which was his last dignity.
While thinking about this, Roshu and Abert had come to the center of the courtyard of the mansion.
Occasionally, a few bird songs came from the sparse branches, as if recalling the hustle and bustle of the past.
The fountain in the center of the courtyard has been dry for many years, the face of the stone-carved beasts is blurred, and the scene of splashing water in the past can only be found in the few remaining traces.
The corridor next to it has long been covered by crazy-growing vines. The snails among the green leaves are slowly crawling, and the afterglow before the sunset reflects a shiny yellow light on its shell.
Rossau and Albert have arrived in front of a single-family villa in the middle that is similar to Spanish style.
The two waiters—or "slaves" wearing "waiter" costumes and metal necks—were standing in front of the villa's porch, staring at the new guests with dull eyes.
They are the "owning" of that Aril Sigaria. And when Abert and Luoshu came to them, they bowed and bowed, skillful and stiff.
"Master Sigaria is inside, two guests."
A waiter who looked like a maid said without anger:
"Please come in."
“…”
Albert did not react at all, and Luo Xiu just glanced at them frivolously, then stopped gaze on them, but looked straight ahead.
They stepped straight into the open door leading into the inside and walked into a somewhat dark and long corridor.
The tapestries on the walls on both sides retreated in Luo Xiu's field of view at a constant speed. The patterns on them had already faded and looked blurry.
The floor was still creaking. Because of the accumulation of water or other reasons, Luo Xiu felt that the touch of the soles of his feet was always a little sunken or swollen.
Soon, they had arrived at the hall.
Dust covered the ornate murals and carefully crafted furniture, and a chandelier was shaky and dimly lit, barely reflecting the spider web on the table.
Even inside the villa, it is similar to the courtyard of the mansion, and no one has taken care of it for a long time.
Perhaps because Arel Sigaria could no longer leave his bed - he could not see the scene outside the room, so his waiters and his "slaves" became slack.
Luo Xiu thought about these things in a divergent way.
He and Albert had stepped up the stairs and headed to the second floor of the villa.
It was here that he saw another "Knight of the Imperial Guard"-
The Knight was guarding the door of a room, which was the room belonging to "Ariel Sigaria".
When he saw Abert and Luoshu coming, he saluted respectfully to the two high-ranking people, then opened the door for them and retreated.
Roshe and Abert walked straight into the deepest room-
An old man lying on the bed with some wet spots on his face, thus entering Luo Xiu's vision.
That's Aril Sigalia.
His face was terrible, his skin was like withered bark, and his eyes were slightly opened under his thick eyelids, looking at the direction of the door, the light in his pupils was dim, which was the turbidity of his mind.
And beside him was a "Knight of the Guard" who was directly monitoring him, and another "maid" who took care of him and served him - her slender, scarred neck He also has a steel ring and is also a "slave". However, compared to other slaves, he is more popular with Arel Sigaria.
She was holding a hot towel in her hand and was wiping the old man on the sickbed. And there was no expression on her cold, dead face, but she just repeated the wiping action skillfully.
Luo Xiu just looked at this scene, thinking about something else, and said nothing else.
Aril Sigaria was lying on the sickbed, breathing weakly, and the vitality that could feel was almost exhausted.
“…”
"You are finally here...Ahem."
In Luoshu's ears, he heard Arel Sigalia cough twice, making a weak and old voice.
"I know you will definitely come, you will definitely..."
"Hey... It turns out that Zaska will die, he can't stop you..."
"I also advised him. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm already... a dying person."
“…”
The old man on the hospital bed, Arel Sigaria turned his body and found a lying position where he could try to put less force on his neck, and his eyes could just look at the two guests without turning, and said: >
"You also have many... many things you want to ask me, right?"
"Ask, you can ask me."
"I know a lot..."
"Just treat it as a demonstration of my... sincerity, or atonement."
"You ask me, as long as I know..."
"I can tell you all."
