Chapter 39 Black Town End
Black Town is a place beyond law.
What is a lawless place? It is the unspoken rule that "what happens in the black town will stay in the black town". As long as all the sins that occur in this place have a legitimate purpose, they will not be pursued by the empire and the church in the future. Therefore, the church acquiesced to ask Chen Yan to book a room on the street.
What else?
The nuns also have to hold the Holy Book in one hand and hold the Battle Hammer in the other, fighting shoulder to shoulder with their companions on the front line. They are also under great pressure! The Battle Hammer is a big stick with thick front and thin back, with rivets with large bottle caps on it. Because it is too thick, this weapon cannot be used for other purposes except fighting... So it is safest to find a man, and it is not reliable to rely on faith to relieve stress. After all, not everyone is a religious maniac...
The combat nun was very upset when he was not hooking up with the handsome little guy. She hesitated and took two steps and suddenly thought of waiting! What's my business? I have magical skills, and at worst I could help him treat it first... But when she turned around, she saw that the handsome little guy who was still weak just now suddenly turned into a monkey, rubbed against the stone and climbed up the wall of the lord's mansion more than 20 meters high! If she hadn't happened to turn her head, no one on the street where the people were coming and going could see Chen Yan's actions just now!
As if she noticed her gaze, the handsome little guy smiled at her on the wall, made a confidential gesture, and disappeared without a trace.
The nun was stunned.
****
After a lot of twists and turns, the blood of the moon elf finally merged with Chen Yan. The natural flexibility allowed him to step on the cracks in the stone wall and run upwards. His whole body curled up like blue smoke, and then silently flipped onto the roof of the city lord's mansion.
There are no elves in this world, and the battles generally take the floor flow route. There are not many people like Chen Yan who fly over the eaves and walls, so they are not wary of it. There are guardhouses and alarm bells on the roof of the city lord's mansion, but the two guards standing guard stare at the distance with dull eyes, and ignore Chen Yan, who is huddled down the guardhouse... obviously treating this place as a lookout whistle.
Chen Yan simply tiptoed to open the small door and drilled into the city lord's mansion along the guard passage. There were many people coming and going in the mansion. Chen Yan could barely notice it first with his perception, and moved around along the way, which was a bit exciting.
...
"...My Lord Matilda will always stare..." The two people in the house who were talking suddenly stopped together, turned to look at the door. Chen Yan jumped up at the critical moment, stuck himself on the ceiling of the aisle, and held his breath and eliminated his sense of existence.
Chen Yan never expected that the two people who were talking in the mayor's room were all high-level professionals! It would be fine if the middle-aged and elderly people who seemed to be the annual knight of the church, after all, the church would definitely send some real elite forces. The old knight is almost a level 17 senior knight, only one step away from the peak of his profession.
What really made him unbelievable was the heir of the noble who served as the mayor. Although he was only in his thirties, he had a short sword and three short guns inserted on his waist. On the surface, he looked like a noble child who relied on equipment to defend himself. In fact, he was also a level 16 senior professional who could not tell his profession! Chen Yan was careless and almost discovered by two people in the house.
"...Your righteous deeds and your sacrifice will be remembered by history." The old knight retracted his gaze and continued.
"Right to act, haha~" the heir smiled a little miserably, with an obvious expression of resentment. "Knight Cecil, I want to know whether you are talking about the decree of Matilda or the decree of Benedict VII?" As the gods left and no longer interfered in worldly affairs, the power of the church became more secular after losing the constraints of God. Not only did they fight for power and profit with the noble class, they even secretly tampered with the doctrine of the gods to serve themselves!
Like indulgences or something... The Pope's words are sometimes more useful than God's oracles!
This is a dark period. The church is doing plundering in the name of God, and the whole world is shrouded under the "light" of the church. Although it is a world of high demons, the real magicians and magic research are greatly suppressed! And the conflict between the church and imperial power is almost almost intensified. However, the gods have bound their hands and feet because of the convention. Unless it is a truly blasphemy, it is difficult to be punished.
Obviously, Black Town is also involved in the entire environment.
The heirs' obvious offense failed to arouse the anger of the white-haired knight. The old knight just picked up his helmet, stood up, and signaled that the conversation was over. However, when he went out, he changed the topic and said, "You should learn from your ancestors and leave more illegitimate children. You should understand that both the empire and the church need the long-term existence of the Shan family! The Shan family, which is in harmony with the country, is not a joke..."
After saying that, he left, when he entered the corridor, the old Knight Cecil glanced at every corner, and found no abnormalities. "Are you an illusion just now?" He left with his iron boots.
But he didn't know that Shen Yan was standing in the corner of the wall and turned a hand towards him. Under the influence of the "hint technique", the Cecil Knight chose to turn a blind eye to Shen Yan.
In the house, the noble heir fell on the chair with a little depressed look. He picked up a bottle of wine and drank it a few times, then placed the pistol on the table, dismantled it into parts and wiped it, trying to calm his irritable heart.
Magic research was suppressed, and the only magicians were trapped in the Imperial Academy, but the world was still moving forward. So medicine and science were stripped out of alchemy and embarked on the road of development alone. Steam engines appeared, and gunpowder and guns became one of the mainstream weapons and equipment. The single-shot musket used by the heirs used an alchemy powder as an excitation medicine and an olive bomb was quite powerful!
I can't hold on anymore, I have to think of a way!
The heir of the noble frowned and pondered. Most people thought that his strength was on those pistols... but no one knew that his real strength was actually a level 16 alchemist! Of course, this ability was not suitable for appearing when the church was almost in full swing, so he pretended to be a scholar obsessed with science. A deeply rooted nobleman, even if he had an illegitimate child, was still somewhat inherited. Moreover, this was a family with an illegitimate child as the traditional one.
He wiped his forehead... On the surface, the church came on the surface to clear out the dark evil in this territory; the deep goal was to destroy the conspiracy of the previous dukes to release the evil gods. In fact, it is not at all!
It is the church's work to attract all the mercenaries to the wasteland, underground, and seashore! The heirs who issued the executive order are just puppets. The church's purpose is the opposite. They are not to stop the conspiracy of the previous dukes, but to encourage the final heirs to complete the ceremony! It must not only be completed, but also under the arrangement of the church!
Because everyone has ignored the fact that the evil god who is devoured and combined with mortals is still an evil god?
The evil god's power entered the main plane in a panoramic way, although it was so powerful that no one could defeat it! But at the same time, the evil god also lost its eternity and became able to be killed... or controlled!
"You seem distressed, do you need help?"
A sound suddenly rang in the room.
Chapter completed!
