"He recognizes you, sir." Uriel said to "Yeyan". When Zepei heard this, he just raised his eyebrows.
"I have met him." Yeyan explained, "Before the White Night War, Zeppe Blenken was the heir of Sasbeth Blenken. Their family was quite famous in Byrne."
"Noble Byrne?"
"To be precise, a self-proclaimed noble." Ye Yan added.
"Brenken is one of the oldest families in Byrne." Zeppe said dissatisfiedly. "Since the founding of the city, Brenken has been a loyal subject of His Majesty the King. The lords of the Seven Pillars are constantly rotating, but my family remains standing. fall."
There is no doubt about this, Uriel thought, except for making money, the Blenken family would probably not leave Byrne for even half a step. This kind of survival difficulty is very different from being an undercover agent at the Seven Pivot Points. I am afraid that there is a lot of water in the achievement of "standing still".
"In other words, His Majesty the King trusts you?" Uriel said this relatively tactfully.
Zeppe narrowed his eyes: "Anyway, Brunken grew up in Byrne."
The seven lords are different. They are all betrayers of the mysterious fulcrum. I know you want to say this, Uriel thought to himself, but you would never dare to face "Lord of the Fire Moon" Seroma, regardless of whether the latter is Nightingale or not.
"The Blenken family plays an important role in Byrne," the guy emphasized. "His Majesty the King personally received my grandfather and asked about his health."
"But when his personal situation is uncertain, you betrayed his trust." Uriel was no longer polite, "The Blenken family sent assassins to provoke the Night Watch and the Ravens, and also planned to rescue the prisoners of the association. This is Is this a sign of your loyalty?"
Only then did Zepe realize that he had been fooled. "This is the way to survive, Lord Messenger." He immediately retorted, "Or do you want to watch Bain's destruction? As far as I know, you are also one of our compatriots."
Uriel glanced at Sita. Another person, who is both your compatriot and a spy of Order, is here right now.
"Surviving to order is also a dead end." He told Zepe, "The nameless people became enemies of order precisely because during the period of the evil dragon, there was a secret society that opened the door to hell."
"What do you want to say, Uriel?" Zeppe looked at the stone bricks casually, "For this betrayal, Order will tear up the contract and ensure our destruction. Is that what you mean?"
"This is all old history, and it probably won't affect you at all."
"You're right." Zeppe snorted, "But I've heard enough. Kill that raven and let's get out of here."
Sir Ryan took a step back, almost putting his thoughts on his face. Uriel knew that there was little point in comforting him at this time, so he had to finish his words quickly: "Don't rush us away, Brenken. You haven't confirmed the whereabouts of the king yet. If he suddenly returns, you still have to get it." Are the chips sent back?"
Zeppe quickly glanced at the "chips." "What does this have to do with you?"
I'm not telling you this. Uriel did not look at "Night Flame", but he could feel Sita's gaze. He moved his fingers a little, deliberately looking into Zeppe Blenken's eyes.
"Just asking," the apprentice continued, "or are you planning to use the chips to make other articles?"
"of course not."
"I don't believe this. Do you want to swear an oath, Brunken?" Uriel pressed forward step by step. At this time, even Lord Ye Yan couldn't help but feel moved. He looked at Zeppe and seemed to approve of this safety measure.
"There is a church in the palace." Ryan also spoke, proving that the conditions for swearing an oath were at hand.
A strange look appeared on Zeppe's face, which didn't quite match his identity. "Some things are better left undisclosed."
"Then stop telling lies to the contrary." Uriel sighed, "Especially with clear-cut statements like 'that's true' and 'of course not'. If you can understand, in front of me, there is no difference between what you are saying and telling the truth. "
Zeppe frowned: "What?"
Uriel nodded towards Sita. "Look, this guy is not here to help you, Lord Ye Yan. He doesn't even want to swear."
"What is this?" Zeppe shouted. He glared at his apprentice angrily and tried to persuade Lord Ye Yan to
: "We each take what we need without interfering with each other! Your Excellency, this is the only chance, isn't it?"
"And you can't even give this guarantee." Uriel pointed out.
"I can completely guarantee that..."
"That is to say, except for you, there is no guarantee." The apprentice translated the meaning. "If you guessed it right, the Blenken family is preparing to search the palace. Escaping from prison and escaping from Byrne is just Sasbei's order to your son. He himself chose another path, so that the two parties can make a bet to ensure the survival of the family. "
Zeppe Blenken could not utter a word of retort.
Misfaran knew what was going on. "This is a wise move for the family," he commented, "but a shameless move for the association."
"There's no way to have the best of both worlds," Zeppe said. "If you insist on being perfect, then we'll just break up."
"Thank you for your help, Sir. But we have our own considerations." Ye Yan expressed his attitude.
"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't believe this stranger who calls himself Zeppe Blenken. I think he is stirring up trouble in order to gain benefits." The apprentice turned to his companion, "Is that so, Sir? ? You were murdered and escaped. And since I saved your life, I will not kill you again."
Ryan was suddenly mentioned, and his movements slowed down: "Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't."
"Then, there is only one way to reassure you right now."
He blinked, as if he still didn't understand: "What?"
Our Lord Sir is still trying to work his sluggish mind, but others are responding quickly. Before he finished speaking, Zeppe Brunken turned around and ran away, his figure flickering like a ghost...but he ran into a magical barrier. His head collided and made a "clang" sound, which didn't look like a flesh and blood body. Uriel couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Brenken was even more surprised, wondering when the apprentice had laid the trap. But the trap only stopped him for a moment. Then, a transparent flame bloomed under his feet, breaking through the obstacles like a pillar spring, rising into the sky, and swallowing Zepei's body.
When the heat wave dissipated, they saw a strange piece of burned human skin. Uriel had seen similar things and couldn't help but squint his eyes. Where does this guy come from? He looked at the human skin.
"Mysterious means. How did you discover it?" Your Excellency Ye Yan was quite curious.
Through "spiritual vision". "I am an astrologer, sir."
"It's not just that. How did you find out he was lying?"
It’s not me, it’s the Scroll of Oath. This cannot be stated explicitly. But Uriel looked at the equally translucent "Night Flame" and knew that it would be impossible to stuff him into a bottle and take him away. Sita is a life of the element of light. As long as there is light, he can quickly recover his power and gain a level of mystery at the sky level. I gave him too much fire.
"What's going on?" Ryan asked in horror, "Can you please tell me more clearly? I almost died!"
As if I have this obligation. Uriel thought to himself. Fortunately, apart from the parchments, there are still many details to prove. "Let's talk as we walk. Oh, you can't go to the back door. It's very possible that someone is pretending to be Zepe and setting up manpower there." The skin seemed to be shrouded in some mysterious power, making people not want to touch it. The apprentice picked it up with his sword and looked carefully. It is impossible for a living person to be burned by fire and only a piece of skin is left. At that time in the hospital...
"Not even the Holy Gate." Ye Yan reminded, "If Sasbeth Brunken asks to see the king, he will only take that path."
"We'd better hide first." Uriel agreed.
They got into a nearby building and discovered that it was actually a church. It seems that what Ryan said about the existence of a church in the palace is not a rumor. When Uriel saw the icon of Gaia, he was filled with resistance.
But it’s not just Gaia here. He soon saw Lucia, and a strange male statue surrounding the stars. She is different from the two goddesses. The pearl-encrusted hole contains the light of otherworldly divinity, but there is no trace of mercy. In fact, her gaze had no earthly focus.
"Gaia and Otto." Ye Yan was surprised.
"The Church of the Three Gods." Uriel looked away. It turned out that the male statue belonged to the God of Destiny. three
The only sect where gods are in the same room is the Mercury Temple of Aurenia. It seems that the style of the ancestors of the times is still reflected everywhere. "You have never been here, sir?"
"No. Except for the main hall behind the Holy Gate, I have only stayed in the underground chamber." The former lord smiled mockingly to himself.
Ryan frowned and looked at him, and finally asked Uriel: "What's going on, eh? What's this guy's name, Seroma? I seem to have heard of it somewhere."
You'd better not think about it. Uriel forced himself not to roll his eyes. "Don't worry about it. These things are difficult to explain. As for Zeppe, I dare say there is someone pretending to be him. That guy is definitely not who he is."
"There's a piece of skin on the ground. Damn it! It looks like human skin."
"I've seen human skin like that."
"You've seen it!" Ryan repeated loudly. "This is really amazing!"
Thanks for the compliment. Uriel had had enough, but fortunately Yeyan came to his rescue. "How did you find out about the Blenken family's plan? Someone tipped you off?"
"No. There is an element of speculation." The apprentice answered truthfully, "Leaving Byrne at this time is not a good move. If it were Brenken, I would be more likely to regard this as a last resort, rather than the current plan."
"Indeed, before taking action, you should confirm the whereabouts of the king." Ye Yan glanced in the direction of the palace, "Otherwise, it would be too bad to offend the king first."
Putting the king aside, Uriel thought to himself, the Black Knight and the Glimmer Lord were enough to make this group of people feel better. Unless Sasbeth Blenken knew nothing about the lord, or was a foolish fool for taking the plunge, he should have known the risks of escaping the prison.
The person who came was not the real Zeppe. After testing the other party with the contract, Uriel had some idea of this person's purpose. "The contract," he told them, "is the strongest evidence."
"The Blenken family has no means to terminate the contract." Ye Yan said.
"I think most people don't." Ryan said.
"Then it's useless for them to send people here." Sita pointed out, "I can't leave the palace without breaking the contract. Merchants will never do business at a loss."
"Brenken must know this." Uriel added, "Maybe someone with the talent of the Nameless One can do it."
"But Zeppe didn't want to swear." The Blenken family would not send anyone if the contract could not be terminated. This time, even Ryan understood. "That's why you found out. I see, this guy has absolutely no secrets in front of you."
[In view of the general environment,
The apprentice shrugged. "Although we have the same purpose, we have different motives."
"Not everyone is discerning, Uriel. When your motives are not understood, they will think you are doing something wrong."
It can be described as advice. However, even though Uriel himself didn't quite understand it, he still felt that he was doing the right thing.
"You are not the first unknown person to advise me like this, sir." The apprentice smiled, "What a strange thing. You all want me to stay away from the quagmire of demon hunting, as if I can really escape. Where should I go? ? Return to the surface world, work in a laundry for a whole year, and end up unable to afford a coat? Impossible."
He sat down and leaned in front of the last step. There was a seat less than two yards away, and the backrest just blocked the sight of the statue. "Then I'd rather stay."
"I won't say that I understand you, Uriel." Night Flame floated in the air, its outline molding into the lake with the flow of breath. "When I was Seroma, I was also obsessed with Byrne's life. Compared with the Glittering Pool, this place is colorful and full of life. I hope that Byrne can exist forever until I get tired of it in my long life. The real world with flesh and blood.”
He paused for a moment. "But I don't belong here."
"Tekapo is still waiting for you, Your Excellency." Uriel was not surprised. I have friends in the tower, but I am not a knight of the tower. Uriel, the Knight of Proverbs, belongs to Gaia and has sworn an oath to the goddess.
He remembered another thing: "Why did you lie when the Blenken family searched the palace?" No one knew the whereabouts of the king, not even Ye Yan. This person should not be able to answer, but looking at him calmly and calmly
Guaranteed, you won't be able to tell anything about him. "Does this help order?"
Ye Yan did not deny it. "In the final analysis, the situation has tilted towards the side of the mysterious realm, and the war will be won soon. Going to the king at this time, creating an extramarital affair? It is not a good thing for order."
"Really? If you don't go to him, maybe the king is plotting a counterattack."
"What kind of counterattack?" Ye Yan smiled, "Open the gate of hell again and let the evil dragon into Knox? Don't be stupid, Uriel. We all know that the king of the starless night was the one who fought in the Dawn War. Holy Ones, they swore an oath to the "Victor" and to Knox. Even if he wanted to overturn the table, the king could not resist the three saints. "
"Since the Association is not the opponent of order, why do we need to fight the second demon hunting war?" Uriel emphasized the emphasis on "the second time".
"Because this is the guidance of fate." Ye Yan said calmly, "As Nightingale, I got the news of the king's disappearance. In the outside world, Lord Mercury and Lord Shimmer exposed their identities and lost their territory, allowing the Silent School and the Glorious Council to get rid of It has penetrated. The tower is like the sun in the sky, and the field of vision covers the land of order."
"Even beyond Knox, the Elemental Tide has arrived. The Sunken Plane of Gavash and the Glittering Pools will return to Knox, and Her Majesty the Queen will descend. This is the peak of the power of the Mystic Realm and the lowest moment of the Society. period."
"Three is greater than two, greater than one. You see, Uriel, this moment is the choice of fate."
destiny. The apprentice thought. The oath was my destiny.
"If you persist in your stubbornness, we will be enemies." Ye Yan told him.
"Obstinate? I'm just fulfilling my oath."
"Oath to whom?"
To Gaia. But Uriel didn't answer. He felt that he could no longer tell lies about being loyal to the goddess calmly. Deep down in his heart, he still felt guilty about Croyinta, because some things did not need to be proven by oath. He knew that what he had done was tantamount to betrayal. Wrong loyalty and right betrayal would always be an unsolvable mystery in his heart.
The apprentice stood up. After the trip to Anthoros, he always felt like a light on his back in the church. Perhaps this was a punishment from the gods. The gods may not necessarily have discerning eyes.
The sky has become bright, and the morning light and the silver lily window together form a silhouette. Under the interplay of light and darkness, the stone statue also has a divine radiance, and Gaia seems to have descended into this body imaginary by mortals, showing mercy on her face.
The true god who controls destiny, the god of order whom the Tower calls Otto, turns a blind eye to him. She's not here or anywhere. Maybe she had known my fate for a long time, so she would not speak softly to the betrayer.
He couldn't help but laugh at his own wild thoughts.
But there are others who are in awe of such a solemn scene. The Byrne hesitated for a moment, then knelt down before Gaia and asked for her mercy. Soon he stood up again and went to Lucia, closing his eyes.
Uriel also wanted to pray to Gaia like him, but he ended up standing motionless.
After Ryan came back, Yeyan laughed at him: "You might as well ask Uriel, he will be the one to take you out of the palace later, not the gods."
"Still waiting?" Ryan hoped to leave now.
"You are not the only passenger, ser." Uriel told him. "It would be too expensive to do it twice, wouldn't it?"
Ryan didn't laugh. He was unhappy, but he didn't protest aloud. Maybe he guessed that the initiative was not in his hands, or maybe it was because of the reminder from His Excellency "Yeyan". Uriel has no intention of explaining him. After all, I can’t even understand myself.
"Yeyan" said, "Brenken's plan will never succeed, and neither will you, Uriel. This trip is very dangerous."
"I have other considerations. Have you met the King of Byrne, Your Excellency?"
Sita thought for a moment. "He's missing. I'm pretty sure of that."
"Who will Brunken see at the palace?"
"Lord of the Undead." Ye Yan concluded, "I understand the operation of the association, the Undead Lord of Gavash. He is the most trusted person by the king. But the reason why, even the longest-serving lord does not know."
Maybe it's a kind of reverse confirmation. If the Black Knight was the ancestor Rego, of course no lord would recognize him. Uriel from
He felt a sense of familiarity in his skills, but the Silver Song Knights had a lot of inheritance, including himself, so he felt that there was no real proof. "Did you see the king before he disappeared?"
"I met him once." Ye Yan replied, "The lord doesn't often come to Bain, unless there is something important. We would rather communicate in our own territory."
The traitors must be cautious, otherwise Lord Mercury will learn from his mistakes. She reveals her identity to you and loses her territory. We all know this.
Uriel does not need to hide himself. First of all, he is not a demon lord and is of no importance to the overall situation. Secondly, if Rammons really escaped by chance, the paladin captain would have probably publicized his travels with the Nameless One.
"What about this human skin?" The apprentice picked up the skin on the ground.
"I've never seen this thing before." Ye Yan said. He frowned and looked at their trophies: "Do you know its origin, Uriel?"
"It's probably Zeppe Blenken himself. In other words, these are all his remains." Uriel turned the human skin over and remembered the burnt pie that Furla had baked in the morning. "Someone put on this skin and came to you pretending to be him. I think the Blenken family did send someone to rob the prison and kill Ryan, but the unlucky guy unfortunately died in the tunnel." He looked around, " I killed him, and before that, I also asked about his origin. This is certain."
Ryan was surprised: "Who pretended to be Zeppe?"
"Someone who needs us to stay in the palace."
Ryan didn't understand: "What's the relationship between pretending to be Zeppe and staying in the palace?"
"Think carefully, Sir. Here we need to make an assumption: what we did was guided by someone. This person first revealed the news to Brenken, and asked the latter to send someone to test the status of "Lord of the Fire Moon", and we collided He fell in love with the killer and guessed his purpose. Due to some personal considerations, I will undoubtedly go deep into the palace, find Lord Ye Yan, and take him away. "
The prisoners of the Society listened quietly. "When the followers realized that we were planning to leave the palace, they immediately showed up and approached Lord Ye Yan."
"He's not helping me leave." Sita nodded. When he took action previously, His Excellency had already noticed the strangeness of Zeppe Blenken's refusal of the contract. If it was really to escape Byrne, the Blenken family would definitely choose to cooperate with Yeyan instead of thinking that they could control a Lord Kongjing.
Of course, this is just suspicion. But Uriel never had to worry about doubts. He lost the magic power required for a "spiritual vision". After killing Zeppe in his dream and getting a human skin, this suspicion was confirmed. ...Besides, in the final analysis, Uriel still felt that it was more advantageous to arrange the operation by himself than to send "Night Flame" away from Bain together with Zeppe Blenken.
"He came to Lord Ye Yan for confirmation." Uriel continued, "Brenken, the Ravens, and even the Night Watch are all his pawns. What he wants to know is the whereabouts of the king."
"How can this be done?" Ryan couldn't help but ask.
"Don't forget, the palace is currently shrouded in mystery, and there is no return. By encouraging the Byrnes to break into the palace, you can force the city managers to unlock the mysterious power here." The apprentice reminded, "In this way, regardless of your king, No matter what your Majesty's situation is, he can slowly start exploring."
"I think he doesn't want to take his time." Ye Yan said.
"That's it. He came to you because he wanted to get information about the king and other lords from you."
"Other lords?"
"For example, Lord Glimmer," Uriel told them, "he has been in Bain and has seen similar human skins. He recognized the imposter, and you and I can only find flaws in logic. It obviously shows that Lord Shimmer has a special ability to identify impostors.”
"I understand. You made it very clear, but there is only one thing: this guy in human skin. Why did he lead you into the palace? If he just wanted to get the information from me, it would be enough to slap Blenken and others. "
"Because he cannot completely control Blenken. After all, the latter is a very powerful family. Since Sasbeth Blenken is the head of the family, he should also have the abilities of the head of the family. If the man in the leather bag is not the lord, he cannot Maybe order them."
Even Ryan understood: "Brenken was on bail.
Only when he was completely psychological would he send someone to sneak into the palace! This was unexpected by the man in the leather jacket. "
"That's it." Uriel agreed, "As for Lord Yeyan's condition, I guess he learned about it from me." There is no need to send people to search for the dead. Laimons' actions basically represent the attitude of the Glorious Council. "The Queen of the Twinkling Pool has a way to confirm your life and death, doesn't she?"
Ye Yan was actually not sure. "Maybe. For us, death is not the end."
"Then it's still speculation, not a conclusion. But it's harmless."
"Indeed, you are quite foresight, Uriel." Mithfaran sighed, "It is said that Croyinta can even be compared to ordinary astrologers even members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am beginning to believe this."
That's just a rumor, Uriel thought. Due to his special profession and fire talent, many people cannot tell the origin of his skills. There is no need to explain this, but please do not mention this nonsense in front of my mentor.
"After all, what does this have to do with "needing us to stay"? "Ryan Digu."
"Sorry, I'm a little off topic." Uriel explained, "Zeppe doesn't know that we have terminated the contract. When Lord Ye Yan leaves the palace, he will definitely attract someone's attention. This is not good for his plan."
"You actually understand the association's contract?"
"I can understand any magic, including contracts. It depends on my wishes."
Ryan looked at him suspiciously, but ultimately didn't question it.
"No matter what." "Yeyan" Misifalan spoke calmly, "When the Bain people break into the palace and the isolation power of the Holy Gate disappears, we can leave here. Before that, we'd better not do anything unnecessary. Something." He nodded to his two companions. "No contract can bind us, but we have the same goal."
