There is no moon tonight.
If there is no light, it will appear darker than usual. Thick fog covers the tall buildings, like monsters hiding in the misty forest waiting for opportunities.
The patrol airship stayed over the dawn scene, and bright lamp posts were cast down, illuminating the chaotic darkness.
People could be seen all over the street, and those guarding the entrances and exits were not the Dawn Knights, but the Royal Jade Knights with live ammunition. They came quietly, and when the chaos started, they suddenly appeared.
The white knights captured the fleeing believers, and then were controlled by the royal army that poured out. They brought with them the latest research results of the Atlas Alchemy Institute, which was a new type of firecracker named "Death", which can Load it quickly, I heard that the fatal pain of the bullet can catch up with the fear of death.
"Hi...Long time no see, Knight Commander Hughes."
Ethan's head emerged from behind the white armor. No one noticed when he slipped here. The steam dispersed, and Hughes under the armor sighed helplessly.
"Block the streets and be sure to catch Bishop Dawn."
The Royal Pure Temple Knights have long been concerned about the anomalies in the Church of Dawn. Judging from the report submitted by the Atlas Alchemy Institute, it seems that there is another hidden reason for the fire in the Church of Dawn. After in-depth investigation, only burned corpses were found. Museum investigators also disappeared nearby.
Ethan looked leisurely at the World Tree in the distance, which was brightly lit. Perhaps, someone was standing on a high place overlooking the entire city.
This gathering is not just a gathering, but an opportunity that many forces are waiting for.
"Remember to count the number of people, are there any omissions?"
"Bishop Dawn hasn't caught him yet."
The Knights of the Pure Palace were already moving very quickly, and Hughes knew that those who had not been caught so far would most likely have escaped.
A black figure appeared in the distance.
Ethan's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to help Jiang Chenchuan out.
"Where are the people?"
Ethan leaned closer and said.
"Ran."
"Is there something to hide?"
The smart Ethan reacted instantly and lowered his voice and said.
Jiang Chenchuan nodded gently.
Recalling the man's expression, I always felt that there was a missing link in the information obtained from Goat Town. This last crucial link was probably in the map the man gave him.
That is the layout of the underground sewers in Polnia. The sewage flowing throughout the city will eventually flow into the Xinlan Sea.
The White Knights had their weapons confiscated, and they were no longer able to fight back. It was rare to see the Royal Jade Knights in the city. Usually only a small number of escorts would come out to take action. There must be someone with a higher level commanding behind them. Watching them.
The nearby residents who were disturbed heard the noise and stuck their heads out to observe secretly. When they found that it was a cavalry they had never seen before, they retreated silently.
It was an overwhelming advantage with almost no suspense. Even when they saw the badge of the Knights of the Pure Palace, the white knights had lost all thoughts of resistance. They knelt under the cold wind and said nothing.
"Who's in charge here?"
Jiang Chenchuan asked.
Ethan looked towards the position of Knight Commander Hughes. He was explaining something to his men around him. His face was wrapped in exquisite armor, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"It's not that easy to leave now." Ethan leaned aside and said lazily, "Everyone present will be taken away."
"where to?"
"I don't know. I only know that in Bornia, there is nothing that the Pure Palace Knights cannot figure out. It's just a matter of time."
Now is not the time to wait. If the Knights of the Pure Palace figure it out, the man will not be able to control himself. Plus, the thing in his hand must be a lost relic in the museum.
Recycling relics is also one of the responsibilities of museum staff.
"Ethan, I don't have time to wait."
Jiang Chenchuan said softly.
"clear!"
Ethan's greatest strength is that when he becomes a teammate, he understands all your thoughts and takes action quickly.
He pointed at the steam car that seemed to be almost scrapped and gave a look.
Jiang Chenchuan shook his head, saying that he couldn't bear another adventure, and besides, this time he was facing the Royal Knights, and it wouldn't be that easy.
"You know, the Pure Palace Knights have the right to shoot anyone. I don't want to take my own life yet."
"No, I mean, we can go faster in that one."
Ethan seemed to be waiting for something. When he got an opportunity, he stepped forward to talk to Knight Commander Hughes, and while speaking, he looked in the direction of Jiang Chenchuan.
"May I have your name?"
Hughes walked towards Jiang Chenchuan.
"Evel von Heinrich."
Jiang Chenchuan replied and showed his museum work permit.
Hughes nodded and signaled the knight to let him go, just like Ethan said, drive away faster.
Racing on the street late at night is something that only Ethan can do. According to the mark on the map, it is a remote trail not far from the gathering, and it is also the entrance to the sewer.
"Wow--"
The insulating steel mesh was lifted, and the disgusting smell came from below. Despite this, they still climbed down the iron ladder.
"Wow, that's disgusting, Yvel, with just a map, do you really believe that there is truth in a place like this?"
As soon as Ethan landed, he covered his nose and said with disgust on his face.
Jiang Chenchuan followed closely behind.
"First of all, in that scenario, there was no need for him to lie to me, and secondly, he was in a bad situation and I needed to find him."
The sewage flows along the sewer, and the distance on both sides is still wide enough for people to walk. It is for the city's underground drainage. This is also an excellent masterpiece of the Atlas Alchemy Institute.
There were dim electric lights hanging on the walls on both sides, one at regular intervals. This was to facilitate the activities of maintenance personnel entering and exiting at night. There seemed to be some dark red thick substance in the water flowing away.
The sound of empty footsteps echoed in the endless sewers, far and near, as if someone was following them.
"Why are you following? Ethan."
"Obviously, if what is waiting for us is not a trap, then I am also very interested in the truth that the Church of Dawn has been hiding."
Ethan replied with a relaxed expression.
Of course, it was not his turn to be moved, so he added:
"It would be great if everyone could come to Believe in Peace Church by then."
“Despicable and peaceful people.”
There are no footprints in the sewer, and there are not many traces of people having been there. Starting from the starting point of the map and walking along the signs, you can hear nothing except the sound of running water.
After walking for a while, I couldn't find the entrance when I looked back.
Wow——
It's the sound of people stepping on water.
Ethan and Jiang Chenchuan stopped instantly, motionless, and listened.
Wow——
It seemed like someone was approaching them.
