Wayne frowned tightly.
He was about to say that he was tracking down the wanted criminal Norman Laird to prevent Bulwer from talking nonsense in front of Tasia.
But Bulwer looked excited, as if he couldn't control himself. He rushed to the courtyard crazily and shouted loudly: "Your Excellency Echos, I like you!"
I like you——
ah--
Wayne: Cracked on the spot.jpg.
Tasia behind her couldn't hold it back for a moment, and she covered her mouth and laughed.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~my fame!
Angry and angry, Wayne raised his hand and slapped him unconscious.
"This is not the usual state of getting along. It's probably a sudden illness." Wayne wiped his hands lightly.
hateful! When Tasia heard this, she might have thought that I was fencing with others in the city guard every day!
"Don't worry about him, let's continue the hunt." Wayne said coldly.
Although Tasia hesitated whether to just throw Bulwer to the ground like this, she still followed Wayne closely in the end.
Probably feeling that Wayne was in a bad mood, Tasia suddenly comforted him: "Teacher, don't be angry~ I know that the officer was just joking."
Ha~ He is not joking, he is clearly prepared!
Venn was almost certain that Bulwer must have been instigated by Norman Laird.
I didn't expect that that guy was about to die and still wanted to get along with me. Seeing how dedicated he was to being a villain, I had to arrange a decent death for him no matter what.
"Strange...it seems like the breath of dark magic has disappeared here..." Tasia muttered to herself in confusion.
"Underground." Wayne directly mobilized his magic power to forcefully open a large hole in the middle of the yard.
As the gravel and smoke rolled down, the dark tunnel was revealed in the moonlight.
"This..." Tasia glanced at Bulwer, who was still unconscious, in shock.
Although the identity of the city guard captain is very important, and security protection should be very careful, but digging such a huge tunnel quietly is a bit suspicious no matter how you look at it.
"Come this way." Wayne jumped into the tunnel first.
Tasia raised her hand to gather a magic ball full of light, and caught up with him step by step.
The tunnel can barely accommodate one person, but fortunately the remaining height meets the needs of an adult man. While exploring the situation in the tunnel, Wayne used the buildings on the ground to determine his location.
After walking in silence for a while, the two quickly arrived at the tunnel's exit, located in an inconspicuous private house in the south of the city.
If I hadn't known about the existence of such a tunnel in advance, even if I passed by the gate hundreds of times, I wouldn't have been able to tell that I could get directly to the home of the city guard commander from here.
As expected, he is a veteran who often does shady things.
Tasia was in a state of extreme shock throughout the whole process, looking at this ordinary house and saying nothing for a long time.
"Is it incredible?" Wayne asked.
If she saw the underground space in Earl Chapman's manor, she would definitely be even more surprised.
"I was just thinking... is this kind of thing common for nobles?" She said in a confused tone.
"No." Wayne explained, "Generally few people would choose to dig tunnels. They would only do this to facilitate the transportation of ordinary people."
Although because of the presence of earth magicians, digging tunnels is not as difficult as imagined. But once this kind of thing is caught, the purpose is difficult to explain clearly.
The secret passages extend in all directions. Who knows if they are to prepare for a rebellion in the future?
Following the markers, Wayne walked eastward along the street.
After a while, a tall church appeared in front of them.
Both of them were a little surprised at the same time.
"...Is that person inside?" Tasia asked one more question.
Since entering the tunnel, the dark magic remaining in the air has become thinner and thinner, and now she can no longer sense it at all.
"should be."
Wayne had yet to come to church as Echoes.
To be precise, he had never liked this kind of place, so he always unconsciously avoided dealing with it. After all, it was not in line with his self-perception as a materialist warrior.
If it weren't for the fact that he had traveled through time in an unscientific way, he might not have been willing to attend even the charity party hosted by the church.
——It’s not like the church can only help the poor.
But what is unpleasant is that the Winche family, as an important noble in the kingdom, often receives such invitations, so Wayne often has to accompany them.
The church has been claiming for many years that dark magic comes from the hands of the devil who plots to destroy the world. It has even offered high-priced rewards to publicly collect clues about dark magic. It vows to judge and eradicate all evil and heresy in the world. Norman will escape to This kind of place really surprised Wayne.
However, if he thought that he would be safe hiding in the church, he was totally wrong.
"I will hide you later. Don't make a sound or show your face." Wayne ordered.
Tasia seems to be deeply involved with the church, and showing up like this might cause her some trouble.
"Teacher, can you... try not to conflict with Archbishop Willard?" Tasia asked with a slight embarrassment.
She was worried that Echos would fight with others if she disagreed with others just like she did to Bulwer just now.
"Bishop Willard is a very kind elder. He not only generously funded my studies, but also helped me solve many problems." At this point, she seemed to realize that it was not good to always praise another person, and immediately made up for it: "Of course, you are also very important to me...important..."
It was so important that I didn't say anything else for a long time.
Wayne showed a somewhat helpless expression.
"I'll take care.—As long as he doesn't deliberately annoy me."
After hearing this, Tasia finally felt relieved, and her thoughts suddenly became clear, and she suddenly blurted out the words that she had not organized for a long time: "You are indeed my most important teacher!"
Ah, this... what kind of strange description is this?
But seeing how embarrassed Tasia was, Wayne only found it funny and didn't think anything more about it.
The Royal Cathedral of St. Lornes occupies a huge area. Just the front square occupies half of the street. This is a scale that has been expanded several times.
It is said that when it was first founded, it was just an ordinary orphanage, established by an ordinary missionary who was sent here by the Holy See.
Yes, "issued".
Although this is the first institution in the Kingdom of Lownes that is directly under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, it has a long history.
But for a long time in the past, almost no missionaries were willing to preach in remote areas like Lownes.
