129. Chapter 129 Ansardin's revenge
When Akasha walked out of the room on the second floor, the soldiers who were originally watching the night in the corridor were facing her back, so with the help of the magic, she continued to walk through the corridor and down the stairs easily. When she raised her head and noticed the sky outside, Akasha realized that it had passed midnight, so the first floor of the hotel was already empty.
Since she made up her mind, Akasha thought to leave here immediately, but when she passed by the bar, there were a few sausages and bread on it, which made her stop her pace. The "gurgling" sound from her stomach made her swallow, but since she had never done anything stealing since she was a child, she felt unspeakable guilt for her inner thoughts. However, when she thought of her goal, she bit her lip, looked up and looked at the second floor unconsciously, took a deep breath, and reached out to carry the bread and sausage into her arms, and draped a cloak on the chair on her body, pushed open the door and ran out...
But after running for two or three steps, Akasha suddenly turned back and trotted to the kitchen to pick up a bone-clearing knife. She carved a few words on the bar before she breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and pushed open the door, and disappeared into the night without looking back...
The quietness of the hotel continued until three hours later, the soldiers who came to change their guards to check the night before they discovered the abnormality—
"What? Running?!"
Roddy, who had finally had a relaxed sleep, was stunned when she was woken up. He looked at Ruger who came to report the news with bloodshot eyes, and asked in surprise: "How did you run away? Is anyone injured?"
"No, the soldiers who were watching were asleep..."
While explaining, Ruger took Roddy to the first floor of the hotel, "I don't know why, she still left this."
"What?"
Roddy's mind was still full of confusion. After just woke up, he was confused and confused. Seeing Ruger pointing at the bar, he looked up and took a look, and his expression suddenly became extremely shocked: "This is the fuck... what's the saying?"
Soderol, who was also awakened, went downstairs in a twisted coat, "thump" and was stunned when he saw the handwriting on the bar. A scout came over beside him whispered the sentence above.
"I'm so sorry, I need to borrow the cloak and food, and if I have the chance, I'll pay it back."
The handwriting carved on the tip of the knife seemed a little confused, but Roddy and others looked at each other in response—
"You-have you ever seen stealing something and writing an apology letter?"
"No…"
"I haven't seen it before..."
At this time, Carter ran over sleepyly and asked with a confused look on his face, "Who, who, who ran away? Do you need to chase after me?"
Roddy opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I guess I've run away long ago, and it's meaningless to chase."
He was surprised and funny in his heart... How could he save someone and save such a living treasure? Just run away, take something and say he wants to pay back the money. I really don't know how to describe this woman...
Thinking about it now, Roddy found that he didn't know what this woman was called, but it didn't matter. After all, he just wanted to gain less reputation and there was no loss in everything else.
He sat at the bar and took a glass of ale to quench his thirst. After drinking it, he couldn't figure out why the other party was running away. He couldn't help but say to himself: "What are you going to run away? I won't eat you..."
"I guess I've treated us as evil people?"
Ruge next to him touched his nose and muttered: "Captain, you tore her clothes before..."
"Get out! That's to heal the wound!"
Roddy's face was a little red. At this time, he realized that he seemed to be not taking others seriously. He immediately waved his hand and drove him away: "Go back to sleep and go back to sleep. Anyway, you can get the crystal stone, don't worry about anything else."
"If you have the chance to meet me, you really have to ask... Isn't it just taking off your clothes and wrapping them up?"
After yawning, Roddy rolled back to the bed and continued to fall asleep.
"Ah Yee--"
Akasha, who had quietly left Hollier City, sneezed a few kilometers away. She immediately covered her mouth and looked carefully at the forest with the cold wind in the darkness. Her plump body was wrapped in a wide cloak. Her white fingers took out a sausage from her pocket. She hesitated for a moment, then started eating in small sips.
"If you go on this road, there should be towns..."
Although she has a good memory, Akasha is not familiar with the territory of Everta. At this time, she only knew that she could stay away from those religious forces by walking north along the road. But if she had any exact thoughts, she would just find a town and live in seclusion...
She was a little curious and inexplicable about the scouts, but Akasha was unwilling to leave her fate to others to take charge of her at this time. She remembered the words of the captain named Roddy, but she felt a little grateful in her heart. No matter what, the fact that she could make such a decision now was also related to his words.
Strengthening the belief in his heart, the pastor who had left the "Viridian Cross" embarked on the road northward and gradually disappeared into the shadow of the forest.
*******
September 21st.
The day after the Pagan incident, the "purgation" of Hollier City was fully launched.
The remnants of the "Viridian Cross" were basically arrested, including those who once belonged to Akasha. However, as Rubens found out the real reason why the four cavalry teams were blocked, these people were not sent to the stolen stand, but had the opportunity to "abandon the dark and turn to the light" and were sent to copy the doctrine and do hard work.
As for the other pagans who followed Gallup to siege, Rubens sentenced them all to death without any mercy, and just waited to pick a suitable day to drag it on the stolen rack to respond to the provocation of "Virgate Cross" - and for Gallup, "Rose Cross" cut off his head and hung directly in front of the largest southern gate of Hollier City, telling the fate of the "Pagans".
Don’t think that religion will be kind. In fact, when it touches the fundamental interests, even the "Rose Cross" that teaches people to be kind will also expose its cruel and bloody side. Therefore, under such measures, the original atmosphere in Hollier City quickly calmed down from the restlessness brought about by the "pagan attacks". Although some people were still panic, there was no other person who dared to make trouble on the surface. Everything seemed to have returned to normal...
But under the "stable" surface, there will always be some undercurrents surging quietly.
Mel is the most inconspicuous maid in the Duke's mansion. She is twenty-seven years old this year and has served in this family for ten years. In the eyes of everyone, she is the kind of honest and dedicated woman. She is an "old virgin" who will run away shyly if others say a few dirty words.
But all of this is just a "appearance".
When she finished the cleaning work in the early morning and returned to her simple dormitory alone, Mel replaced her timid and slightly restrained expression... At this time, the gray-white pupils and cold expressions flashed with grayish white light all illustrate her original identity - the dead.
After Alpha was killed by Roddy, a major purge was carried out in the Duke's Mansion. Fortunately... After the "special transformation" body made Mel no different from ordinary people, so the "internal purge" carried out by the Duke did not reveal her. Therefore, Mel directly became the only remaining "eyeline" of the undead in the Duke's Mansion, and even replaced the former Alpha and became a subordinate who was directly under the command of "Lord Ansardin".
These days, Mel has been extremely cautious in passing all the news to the distant undead Tasman Kingdom, and today, she finally secretly received a response from Lord Ansardin at the market.
When it was just dawn outside the window, Mel, who was hiding in the dormitory, looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he gently took out the letter paper he had accepted at the market, and whispered the contents of the secret words that were deciphered from the above.
"…There has been a new breakthrough in the research of the drug, and the Russiflon family's plans can be chosen to give up..."
"But the people who kill Alpha will have to pay the price. The newly dispatched team will arrive in Hollier City on the 26th. You need to join in the subsequent connection and prepare for the follow-up..."
“…The Russiflon family must disappear!”
"Keep communication and confirm movement..."
When one sentence read out, the coldness and anger contained in it even made Mel tremble. She knew how much effort that Lord Ansardin put into the previous plan. The feeling of all efforts being wasted instantly was definitely a failure that he could not bear. Just look at the content of the letter, you can tell that this Lord had sent out elite soldiers from the undead and would enter Hollier City in five days!
Usually, this means that Lord Ansardin has to use simple and crude means to solve the problem.
Although Mel is stronger than ordinary people, she can't interfere in such a thing after all. She knows the strength of the two knights around the Duke. Her role here can only be to convey information and confirm that those undead killers can be foolproof...
After putting away the letter, Mel changed into a brand new maid outfit, and read the long hair that had already stopped growing. Just as he was about to go out to start today's house cleaning work, he heard another maid coming in from outside and said, "Mel, Lord Duke ordered us to clean up Miss Sally's room, come right away."
"OK."
She nodded, picked up the tools used for cleaning, and walked out of the house.
*******
At the same time, the "Rose Cross" monastery.
Because yesterday's battle caused a large number of casualties, the pacification and aftermath work were in full swing. The priests were busy healing and burying, while the nuns kept reciting prayers to allow the dead to rest. The crying of the family members of the believers continued from last night to the present, and at this time it finally became quiet.
The Bishop Rubens was in a very complicated mood. After writing more than ten letters all night, he was walking among the flowerbeds of the monastery without hiding his fatigue between his eyebrows.
"I have to do things that I have to be busy with one by one. Let's go and have a rest today. I have asked someone to clean up the bed, Rubens, I'll just block the next thing."
Benjamin, who had also been busy all night, came over and greeted Rubens. The two of them were old acquaintances, so they did not use respect, so their tone was very casual.
"I am old and can't stand it, but time is a bit tight, so I naturally have to hurry up and do it."
