Chapter 16 Exile
When Chen An and Alex headed to the fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, the Reggie Temple went to arrest Alex's men but died in vain and finally returned to the temple without any gain.
"The person is gone?!"
When he heard the report from his subordinates, the Priest Baier was furious in public, which shows that the blasphemy in the temple hall must be related to Alex, otherwise why would he disappear for no reason? I guess the other party was guilty of hearing the leaking wind in the temple! Of course, the above are all subjective conjectures of Priest Baier!
"Yes, one of our teams found that the target was not at home, but another team found out that he had returned from the Demon-Captaining Tower with a group of gods yesterday, and was drunk until the middle of the night when celebrating in a tavern. According to the gods who were with him last night, Alex had participated in the chat between them after waking up, and left the tavern when it was almost dawn. Then they never saw Alex again." Tolan, the captain of the temple guards in charge of capturing Alex, who was in charge of capturing Alex, arrested Alex.
The arrest was roughly described. "In the end, we investigated the residence of a friend who accompanied Alex to attend the awakening ceremony that day, but found that the other party was also missing. So we have reason to guess that Alex woke up in the tavern and heard about the blasphemy incident in the temple immediately took the excuse to go to his friend's residence for information, and finally escaped and disappeared before us... I have ordered Bella Ouca's security department to fully cooperate with us in finding the whereabouts of the two, and inform us in time when there is any news."
After listening carefully, Priest Baier's expression finally calmed down a little. After all, Toran had done his best to capture Alex. Unfortunately, things in the world were unpredictable. Who would have thought that Alex would escape one step ahead of them?
"What is his friend's origin?"
"The other party's name is An. It is said that Alex met a friend on Luke Street more than half a year ago. After Alex's introduction, he entered a Bella Oka Chamber of Commerce as an accountant. He had a very good reputation among colleagues and superiors, but no one knew when he asked about his origin." Toran said in detail with a serious expression. "We learned from it that the other party is dull and would go to Bella Oka's library whenever he had free time. The library managers were impressed by him. After all, Bella Oka rarely had civilians as enthusiastic about books as he was, but the books he borrowed were very strange. From the borrowed materials obtained by the library, we found that all the books he borrowed involved Oscar's world history and social culture. With the progress of reading, the books he borrowed became diverse, but most of them were related to mythological and humanities..."
"Haha... I didn't expect that the other party was a hardworking and studious 'scholar'!" Priest Baier sneered.
"I don't know why my subordinates felt quite strange about what he did, because the order in which the other party borrowed books showed that he was exploring something very purposefully." Tolan frowned and said his inner thoughts.
"...Do you think the blasphemer will be him?" Priest Baier pondered for a moment.
"It's very likely!" Toran nodded. "After investigating Alex's personality and background, I don't think he is a person who dares to commit sacrilegious behavior."
"But he escaped in the end." The priest Baier said coldly.
"Perhaps all this is inseparable from the man named An." Toran said.
"Anyway, I'll leave all the arrest of Alex to you. I'll find out the whereabouts of the other party in the past few days!" Priest Baier left this sentence and turned around and left.
...
"Alex, have the surrounding situation been checked?"
In a forest within the fourth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower, Chen An was using dry thick branches to build a tent frame on the flat ground. When he heard the sound in the distance, he immediately looked in the sound with caution, but only found Alex's return.
"Well! I just walked around the woods, but there was no trace of monsters lingering at the moment." Alex said with a dagger in his hand, turning back and forth in his hand, and said with a relaxed expression.
"Since you're fine, come and help me. I don't know when I can set up a tent alone." Chen An sighed and hurriedly called the other party to come and help.
The choice of this forest was the common resolution of the two. When they first arrived at the fourth floor, although Alex said that there were a large number of forests here, after seeing it, Chen An still found it difficult to believe how the forest in front of him survived. There was no sunshine or water nourishment from rain. But these trees still had dense branches and leaves, which was like a fantasy.
A place where you can hide safely requires consideration. Chen An is responsible for making suggestions, and Alex is responsible for searching. It took a long time to find the woods in front of you. First, there is only one clock to the nearest teleportation altar. If you are accidentally discovered, you can quickly reach the altar to escape. Secondly, the terrain here is complex and there are few monsters, and generally there are few gods who are hunting. Finally, there may be a better hiding place on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, Chen An was exhausted during the search process and really had no strength to continue walking.
It turned out that when Chen An and his classmates went to outdoor picnic camping on a whim during the summer vacation. The equipment for picnic camping on the earth is both simple and rich. Ordinary people can easily experience the taste of outdoor camping. Despite this, Chen An still searched for a large amount of outdoor camping information online, hoping that it could come in handy when an accident occurs. Unfortunately, everything in the end of this picnic camping was safe and smooth, and his preparations in advance became useless.
Clinker is unpredictable, and the camping knowledge that he had no place to use at the beginning is now useful in another world.
There is no reference to distinguishing time in the Demon-Sealing Tower, so you can only roughly guess day and night based on the human body's biological clock. After completing the camping construction, you will discuss the time to take turns to watch and watch. Chen An, who was the first to eat something casually, fell asleep in the tent.
When he woke up, his body, which had not been exercised for a long time since he came to this world, couldn't help but feel a little ached. Chen An rubbed his sleepy eyes and crawled out of the tent, and greeted Alex, who was sitting on the ground not far away, who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed.
"Alex, I've had a rest, so hurry up and go and rest."
"No need!" Alex opened his eyes and waved his hand with a smile. "Since I became a god-loving person, my sleep time has been reduced a lot every day. After a little rest, my spirit will become full again."
"The spirit is one thing, the body is another. Don't rely on your youth now, and your physical fitness has improved greatly after becoming a god's favor. But you should still have a good rest when it's time to rest, otherwise sooner or later, you will become weak in the future due to excessive overdrawing of your body and become sick!" Chen An comforted her kindly.
"Okay, if you encounter something, remember to wake me up in time! Don't be impulsive and show off!" Alex didn't want to bother Chen An on this issue, and he also enjoyed Chen An's kindness very much. After explaining the precautions, he entered the tent and lay down to rest.
Facing the quiet forest alone is undoubtedly monotonous and boring. In addition, lighting issues make your vision very limited. There are neither books to pass the time here. After Alex rests, there is no one to chat. After eating some dry food and drinking some water to replenish your body's energy, thinking about the dangers that may be encountered in the Demon-Sealing Tower, Chen An simply took off his clothes and exercised his body, and improved his body's quality as much as possible, so as not to drag down Alex in the future!
He jogged around the camp until he was sweating and panting and then took a break, and then started doing push-ups and sit-ups, which he was familiar with, physical exercises were never achieved overnight. Only by doing what he could do could he avoid physical injuries.
After a while, Chen An wiped his sweat clean with a towel, then sat on the ground and looked up at the "starry sky" covered with countless fine fluorescent stones above his head, with confusion and hesitation in his eyes.
Since the beginning of his escape with Alex due to the temple incident, he has always had an ominous premonition in his heart. No matter how optimistic he maintains his attitude, it may not change their doomed ending.
If the temple is compared to a country, in the face of the power of the country, the individual's power will be insignificant after all. Not to mention resistance, self-protection alone is a big problem. As a law-abiding citizen in the Earth age, I didn't expect to become a fugitive in another world, and the charge is just a blasphemy that seems extremely absurd in his eyes. This is a crime that he will never admit no matter what!
Temple, Temple, God, God, how afraid are you of others to discover your secrets?
"An! What are you thinking?"
At this time, Alex's voice suddenly rang beside him.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what to do after we run out of dry food and drink water." Chen An turned around and smiled at him, without telling him the "big rebellious" thoughts in his heart.
"Hehe! This matter is for me! Just relax!" Alex said with a mysterious smile.
"What do you do?" Chen An looked at him in surprise and said. "As far as I know, there is no water source in the Demon-Closing Tower. Even if there is one, who dares to drink it with confidence? If you are hungry, you can go hunting monsters to eat..."
"Eating monsters... An, your idea is so bold..." Alex couldn't help but sweat in his cold sweat after hearing this. "The monsters' flesh is highly poisonous, and no normal person will eat them, and the method I said is not their business."
"Alex, don't hide it, tell me your solution!" Chen An simply said.
"The source of food and water we can make ideas from the fourth level of hunting gods or mortals!" Alex said no longer concealed.
"Hmm? Are you planning to rob them?" Chen An seemed a little surprised at his thoughts. "Although this is indeed a solution, the problem is that this will also reveal our whereabouts!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Have you forgotten who I am?" Alex raised his head and said with his chest straight.
"The God of Fraud and Lies... Could it be..." Chen An immediately looked him up and down and said, "Do you have mastered the so-called power given by God?"
"That's right, let me show you the power of the God-given gift that I finally mastered slightly. Don't be shocked!"
As he said that, Alex closed his eyes and pursed his lips, and then a strange scene happened.
Alex's skin suddenly started to wriggle, and even made a cracking sound. At the same time, his facial features were twisted terrifyingly and ferociously. After a while, his originally tender face slowly turned into another strange appearance.
Damn, I have my own talent for plastic surgery!
Seeing Alex's changes, Chen An couldn't help but swear in his heart to express his shocked mood.
"How is it? Are you scared? Haha! This is one of the powers given by my Lord Ricky, a fraudulent technique!" Alex, who had completed plastic surgery, immediately said proudly when he saw Chen An's stunned look. "So I can use this to get food and drinking water from other gods in the future. Of course, robbery is not safe, and the best way is to complete it through transactions."
Chapter completed!
