September 8th, Pig Head Bar.

It was evening, and it was the time when there were many people in the bar, but the difference was that... The bard Raphael did not tell stories here today, so the atmosphere in the bar was not as good as the previous few days.

Especially popular.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in black stepped in. His brown linen robe was not eye-catching, but his wrinkled face had a pair of sharp-eyed triangle eyes. When he looked at others,

, it gives people the feeling of being a poisonous snake with an unconcealed coldness.

This middle-aged man looks about forty years old. Although he has passed the peak of his body, his mental state is more than one or two times better than those who are drunk with a wine glass. Hook, who is sitting at the bar, is being slapped by this guy

After glanced at me, I felt an invisible pressure and felt a little uncomfortable all over.

The other party seemed not interested in drinking, but just walked up to the second floor, as if he was looking for someone to go.

"Awesome guy..."

Hook, who thinks he has extraordinary eyesight, commented.

But he naturally didn't understand that the middle-aged man who walked to a room somewhere on the second floor... was far from being described as "awesome".

He raised his hand and knocked on the door panel at a certain rhythm. Someone opened the wooden door in the room, and then respectfully greeted the middle-aged man-

"Mr. Gallup."

"Master Bishop."

Reverence sounded inside the house, and the five adventurers were talking about the "Viridian Cross" believers dressed in.

These guys' rebellious expressions in the past were now calm. The strong man, who was two meters tall, even knelt down on one knee and took Gallup's robe. After carefully putting it away, he seemed to be the humblest

Like a servant, he was waiting for the next order.

Gallup, known as the Bishop, had a natural expression. He stepped on the main seat. After scanning the triangular eyes of these subordinates, he said calmly: "Sit down."

"Yesterday you sent me a message that the nobles of Hollier City are willing to cooperate with us?"

His voice was a bit dumb and not loud, but the situation of the superiors was very obvious - the bishop of the "Viridian Cross" was far stronger and more ruthless than the dean like Benjamin.

"Someone contacted the offline line we released, but they did not reveal their identities. They just left a letter to reveal such a wish. Judging from the conditions they promised, the other party should be a great noble in the city and has a great power.

.”

"Ha, when I found some clues, did I want to use the Viper Cross?"

Gallup narrowed his eyes and took the letter from Willy, his subordinate of Frances, and just scanned it casually. Then he curled his lips. A dark purple light suddenly appeared on his fingertips. After twisting the whole piece of parchment into pieces.

, whispered: "These nobles will not do anything except for accidents in the nest. Next time they meet these self-righteous shit... ignore them."

His eyes swept over his subordinates in front of him, and his tone was mixed with fanaticism and coldness, "For this action, the sect has sent all the forces that have been lurking here for ten years! Remember, what we are going to do

Things are far more than just clearing out these heresy—so I don’t allow anything extraneous… do you understand?”

"Yes, Lord Bishop!"

Five adventurers responded together - Gallup nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The flaws that should be exposed will continue to be exposed, so that the guys from Rose Cross think that they have mastered all our information, so that they can move smoothly. 20

Rubens would go to the city square only when he was on the voyage, so we…”

Gallup explained the next arrangement, but these subordinates did not dare to listen carefully with slightest neglect. In their eyes, the bishop with a cold look in front of them was definitely not easy to mess with, because he had a sect within the

The nickname is "Snake Tooth" - it means that his personality is as vicious as a snake, and his actions are even more ruthless.

In such a sect, promotion is not based on fundraising and prayer, but on "external strikes"!

For those who target nobles, civilians, and "Rose Cross", as long as they can make profits and absorb more believers, "Virida Cross" is willing to do it. To put it bluntly, it is a terrorist organization. On the premise of this, in order to maintain it

Internal stability, the "Virida Cross" even uses a "high-pressure policy" - be cruel to the outside and even more cruel to the inside!

Gallup is one of the best in such an organization. So far, he has only fallen into "small tasks", but he has never failed in "big tasks". Therefore, he is now in the sect's limelight.

And if he can successfully complete the next task, he will be able to successfully enter the core leadership of the "Viridian Cross"... that means more resources, higher status and almost infinite future.

Forty-two-year-old Gallup is in a strong sense, and has a deep cunning attitude. With the cruel side of his personality, if there are enough opportunities, he will definitely be a hero. This is a point that everyone in the sect agrees with.

Lop's boss, Garkad, had good expectations for him, and this operation sent a "deli subordinate" to assist him.

And this "deli subordinate" is the beautiful woman who came to Pig Head Bar some time ago... Pastor Akasha.

However, if you turn your eyes to her at this time, you will find a very interesting fact. Compared with the energetic Gallup, this beauty who lives in a hidden hotel a few kilometers away is completely different at this time.

A scene.

The fireplace in the room was not lit, and there was a cold smell everywhere. The furniture in the cheap hotel was simple, and a lonely candle was lit on the table. While the light and shadow were swaying, Akasha was wearing a gauze pajamas sitting.

On the chair, I endured something with a painful expression.

If anyone who doesn't know the situation sees this scene, he will probably think that this hot priest is an exposure man with a "special hobby" - if it is the hot summer, she will not gossip about wearing this in private, but at this time

The temperature is enough for people to wear warm long gowns. Her outfit is almost equivalent to naked, which is not normal no matter how you look at it.

The room was quiet, and occasionally only Akasha's unstable breathing sounded.

Although the beautiful pastor's figure is bloody, he is close to him to see her frowning brows, her chewing lips and slightly trembling fingers...

This scene lasted for about ten minutes, and Akasha, whose eyes were slightly red, took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away the sweat from her forehead, and straightened her body slightly...

The originally sexy gauze pajamas were soaked by the blood coming out of her back at some point. The pain of the clothes rubbing made Akasha's mouth twitch, but she seemed to be used to it and did not have too many expressions.

The wound was treated silently and quickly.

After raising his hand to take off his pajamas, Akasha chanted the prayer in a low voice, and the light flashed by, "Intermediate Recovery Technique" made the wound on her back heal in an instant,

It’s just that because I have to go through this process every day, the healing effect of the “divine art” on her has begun to decline, and the scars left behind have not completely disappeared - the original smooth and delicate back has already had it.

There are few bright red marks, and it looks like it has been whipped.

This is one of the punishments of the "Viridian Cross" on internal personnel of the sect: the punishment of whipping.

The effect of "flash" comes from the "Dark Curse" skill of the elder Gaqad. Once cast, she will suffer such punishment every day for a period of time. The power of the curse ignores the shield defense, so the person who was sentenced to death must be forced to survive.

The punishment caused by this shadow energy is considered a "atonement" - after the failure of the previous mission, Akasha should have suffered a more severe punishment, but Elder Gakard was quite "careful" to her and only gave her

Her punishment of "fighting" was also allowed to participate in Gallup's mission, and she "makes meritorious service" with this.

If it is successful, it will go further. If it is failure, what awaits her is a more terrifying punishment. However, Akasha has no room for resistance.

Oppression, enslavement, use… The way the "Virgate Cross" ruled the believers is so bloody and naked, a guy like Gallup can be like a fish in such a struggle, and a woman with a gentle personality like Akasha,

I will only feel bored and feared by this painful punishment and the high-pressure rule within the sect.

Those who can't bear it will be eliminated, and there is no other way except death... This is the consensus of all the clergy within the "Virgate Cross" sect - most of the blind believers only see the glorious surface of the sect, but only gradually "

Only those who stand out and become the "backbone" will gradually realize this essence.

However, those who recognize the essence and develop some "regret" emotions like Akasha, most of them have no way to turn around and can only grit their teeth and continue to move under the control of those black hands...

The pain in the body gradually disappeared, but the pain in the heart could not be eliminated. Akasha stood up and threw the bloody pajamas aside. A few complicated emotions flashed across her pale face. She silently put on her clean underwear and

The robe, the maroon curly hair was closed behind her head, and her weak body was shaking a little, but she still sat at the desk with her support.

She took a few deep breaths, then took out a letter that had been written long ago, and looked at the handwriting she had written in person a few days ago.

"Is this only road left?"

*******

When Roddy walked into the Pighead Bar with a haggard look, he passed by Gallup, who happened to walk out of the door.

If it were the past, he would have been curious about this shocking guy with a high level - but at this time he was in a bad mood and didn't even have the interest to look up. He walked straight to the bar, Guan Hook asked for the price of the cup

The rum, which was not low, was tilted down and took a big mouthful of stool. Then he was choked and coughed for five minutes.

"I'm cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."

The stunned Hook looked at Roddy, then poured a glass of clear water and handed it over, patting the young man on the back through the bar.

"Cough cough cough cough cough cough - Hook... Cough cough cough, I'm really sorry. I'm really not in the mood to tell a story today. I-Cough cough cough..."

"I can see, why, I'm in love?"

Seeing that he was almost fine, Hook sat back and poured a glass of ale on his own, threw the rag to the side, and looked like a "passer" look, and said casually: "It should have told you that women are liars... I'll tell you that you and I

Say, when I was young..."

Roddy had just recovered and picked up the cup of water and was drinking it. After hearing what he said, he was choked again. He shook his head helplessly and said intermittently: "No... cough cough cough--not that's it!
Chapter completed!
