Uriel cleared his throat. "You swear to the gods, Du Yilin, they know you are facing a life and death crisis, and they will forgive you."
The female messenger turned her face suspiciously: "Excuse me? Otto or Gaia? I am the messenger of the high tower and also the knight of the high tower." She showed an arrogant look again, "There are no knights in Orenia who are afraid of death. "
But fear of pain is not one of them, is it? "Then you will be blamed by the gods. Because the object of your oath is the gods, not the three gods. The gods include Heather, the god of life and forest."
There was silence. Poor excuse, I can't possibly play a missionary well at the same time. However, Du Yilin did not refute. She didn't even look at her apprentice, concentrating on running her fingers up and down the back of the chair. Uriel expected to be ridiculed. There was no place for Heather in Aurenia, and the Blue Saint did not like Dui Lin, but there was nothing. No one changed their expressions, no one made any sarcastic remarks. Even Joey.
"I came to drive away the Veil of Twilight, not against all the First Sources." The tower messenger spoke, "They are the prophesied destroyers and will bring terrible catastrophe to Orenia."
Uriel was not surprised.
Chloe is the tower of astrologers. Now the prophet is not a saint, but he is still the national teacher of Aurenia and still a prophet. He is the agent of destiny, far more powerful than Cornelius of the later Glorious Council, the stars are Otto's answer, and Lucia does not speak day or night. Under the rule of Alainvor, the forest races surrendered to the empire, and the Oath Keepers Alliance was still a scattered non-human tribe in the wilderness. The replacement of the emperor could not shake the country, let alone a mere "veil of dusk". Only order, only Knox's turmoil can affect Aurenia, the only and most glorious human empire in the ancient times.
"The tower shouldn't have sent you here," Joey asserted.
Dui Lin was enraged, "I am Chloe's best messenger! Ever! You rude demi-human bastard, even Prince Veronka wouldn't dare insult the Sky Tower like this."
"You don't understand the meaning of insult." Bogart muttered, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the Legion Master of the Silver Song Knights, when he is drunk, he can go to the baptistery of the cathedral to vomit. Thank you for your astrology The teacher lives high.”
"But the captain has a surprising amount of alcohol, and he usually doesn't get drunk." Rego added, "I mean, that was the only time before leaving the imperial capital."
These words obviously did not appease Du Yilin. "Unreasonable." The tower messenger's chair hit the floor with a clang. Indeed, Uriel blinked, feeling that the true situation of the victor and the tower messenger was refreshed in his mind.
"Well, before your imminent death comes, let's take the time to get down to business. What kind of catastrophe did the prophet predict?"
"I don't know." Du Yilin said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, it has something to do with those damn first sources. Alanwo does not prohibit the establishment of associations, but... they generally don't come to Orenia to cause trouble. Jayne initially hired local servants I asked for help from the soldiers, but I didn’t expect to get in touch with them.”
"Jayne Hesser is the son of a lord. Is it necessary to find mercenaries for help?" Rego asked. "Mortus is not the city of Alan Warburg, and there are no underground race passages nearby."
"Only the lord's son is needed, nephews don't have to bother. The old lord died without having time to designate an heir. His sons are fighting for the inheritance, especially the most precious territory." Bogat gave the answer, "You Rarely goes out, Rego. This is old news."
"I'm afraid I still won't be able to go out."
"That's right." Joey said, "You stay in the manor and continue your mission. Bogart, Zoman will work with you to ensure that there are no nightingales around. Once you find someone with malicious intentions, there is no need to interrogate him, just stay there Execution.”
"It's more important to catch the poisoner, sir. There's nothing worth guarding in the manor. Lord Sterling's basement is strong enough, and Lady Saint can follow us..." His words stopped abruptly, showing a look of pain. Uriel's heartbeat seemed to skip a beat. The bugs had woken up and were wreaking havoc in the old knight's body. But unlike Orcus, they are now well prepared. "...Let's act together." He took a deep breath and his long beard trembled. "It doesn't seem possible. But the shock of mystery is effective on them, Rego?"
"I've always done this." The saint's guard replied. No wonder he was eager to pry information out of Du Yilin's mouth. "The enemy will definitely come back to investigate the situation, sir, we'd better deal with them first. In any case, this is better than spreading our forces."
Joey didn't agree. "Uriel and I went to find Jayne Hesser. He didn't eat lunch, and he is a cleric. Divine magic is the nemesis of these specialties of Alanwo." Others looked at each other, obviously not hearing this statement. However, according to Uriel's observations in the basement, the Holy Commandment spell is indeed very effective in dealing with insects. "Zoman, you must also know magic. I will leave the mortals in the hall to you."
"Me?" Zoman repeated, "How to deal with it? Kill them all? This is the behavior of a madman."
"It's mercy." Joey didn't care. "Insects will turn bones into liquid, and unlucky mortals won't even be able to leave their bodies behind."
The phantom has no body, Uriel thought, but it did not comfort him. Most of the rules in dreams are the same as reality. Those who kill will fall down, and those who are injured will bleed. Why else would he want to save Janus? It doesn't make sense to risk saving the puppets. But Janus is a living creature, or in other words, a being that can give people fresh feelings, so Uriel helped him.
Jayne Hesser's residence is not a secret under detect magic, not even to the First Source. The problem is that the position of the latter changes all the time, and the few moving light spots are more like a kind of confusion. The three-dimensional map is no longer useful. After all, this thing is not an improved version of later generations. The initial magic is really ineffective. The nameless man's soul flame exceeds the measurement range, which actually hinders positioning. They had no choice but to take a step back and find the son of the lord based on the clues provided by Du Yilin.
"Mortus has changed so much." Uriel couldn't help but say. This place is very different from the time period where the Ringott sisters stayed. The streets have changed direction, the houses have changed their positions, the remains of the park have been covered by new green plants, and all traces of the war have disappeared.
"Cities are all the same." The instructor unexpectedly answered him. It seems that this place actually holds a lot of weight in his heart. At this time, Joey still didn't know the power of the Scroll of Oath, and Uriel could easily judge whether his words were sincere. It would be great if he could always talk like Yorkie, but unfortunately Joey is still Joey, and my expectations are unrealistic.
Jayne Hesser's home is anything but ostentatious. The stone path leads to the dark alley, and the steps pass through the densely packed rooftops and go straight up to the high platform. A row of pottery vats for water storage were placed at the base of the wall. At the end was a cart of soft straw, with forks hanging on the handles. On the opposite side, lush creepers cover the well in deep shade.
Joey noticed it immediately. There are far more wells in Mortus than in northern towns, and the pipelines under the city may be complicated and difficult to find the source. There is also a well in Jayne Hesser's yard. By coincidence, it casts another layer of suspicion on "Twilight Curtain". However, after many impressions of the ancestors were refreshed, Uriel did not dare to draw any conclusions.
Jayne Hesser was forced to greet his guest during his siesta. It certainly won't be pleasant. The guard was tense in the yard. He put his head out of the balcony wearing a coat and looked down condescendingly.
"What the hell, how did you find it?"
"Because you are easier to find than Alanwo's association."
Jayne stared at the female messenger gloomily: "I thought we had reached an agreement, Lord Du Yilin, this was my safest place to stay a few minutes ago, but it is not now. I just terminated my employment with those aliens, but you Bring people to cause trouble for me."
"You call this trouble?" Du Yilin was angrier than anyone else. "What I encountered is trouble! Where are the people from Twilight Veil?"
"I terminated my employment..."
"...but didn't cut off contact. Otherwise, your brother would have hired them to deal with you. Don't think I don't know! Tell me which mouse hole they are hiding in, and you don't have to worry anymore."
"Is this necessary?" Jayne shook his fingers, and a handful of cigarette ashes flew out of the balcony. "We are not savage free man bandits. We take money to solve problems. Wasn't it enough last time? Are my gifts that cheap?"
Du Yilin was about to retort, but Joey stopped her with a wave of his hand. "Tell me about the gift later." He pushed the guard in front of him aside, and the guard subconsciously bumped into him with his shield. As a result, his feet slipped and he fell on the spot. Uriel watched his mentor come to the well, and hoarfrost spread all the way.
Without warning or warning, the cold wind rose in the yard and snow began to fall in the sky. The guard's movements were stiff due to the cold. Jayne sneezed hard and rolled back to the bed. His coat was no different than a piece of tissue paper. The pottery jar crackled and cracked, and straw and green leaves were flying in the sky. The female messenger hurried away from the wall for fear of being hit by the debris. Uriel felt that she might not be worried about getting hurt, but she was unwilling to lose her image.
