On the edge of the steep cliff in the cold wind, the sound of waves crashing against the rocks was soaring up like the roar of an angry beast. And the robes of people walking among them were inevitably blown away, like being slapped on the blue and black,
The birds on the gray-white rock wall seemed to take off from the ground the next moment.
Amidst the tremors of the crumbling sea waves, it forms an extremely small contrast with the vast and deep sky and sea waves in the distance, the blurred coastline and the outline of the city. However, in this section of the sunken cliff,
At the other end, there is actually a building.
It's just that this building is also embedded in the cliff as a whole. Only the side facing the sea is made of large pieces of gravel. I don't know how many years have passed on the outer wall, showing some traces of artificial creation; however, there are also growths on the stone wall.
Covered with moss, vines and low shrubs.
Therefore, if you cannot observe closely, it will be difficult to find that there is actually a multi-layered shelter hidden in the cliff. Brother Francis Cut also introduced in a low voice: "This is the monastery of all ages.
It is a place for internal members to practice retreat and meditation. Therefore, outsiders are usually not allowed to enter; even if members of the order want to use it, they must be nominated by the chief priest of the cathedral or one of the other six abbots.
.But this time someone obviously broke the commandments and oaths, hiding and sheltering unknown existences."
Jiang Tian also came to this building as the waves washed under his feet like thousands of horses galloping, and echoed in the hollow like bursts of muffled thunder. However, as the thick outer door gently closed, the cracks outside roared and the waves roared.
The fighting and attacks originating from the Holy Mountain have all disappeared.
The air suddenly became warm and dry; it was like entering a completely different space. The stone floor had been used for many years, but it was still a soft and silent carpet when you stepped on it. In the lamps in the recesses of the wall,
Smells like fine whale oil.
In the short porch, there are even dark red velvet curtains hung; it is obviously very different from the hermitage described by Brother Francescochet where priests stay away from the world and appreciate nature. And this result is very different.
, which also made his expression particularly difficult to look at:
"How could this happen?" The next moment, he pushed open the dark red curtain without hesitation and rushed in first; then he let out a cry of surprise and backed away in panic. "...There are several corpses inside!",
As the curtain was briefly lifted, a smell of blood suddenly emitted.
Jiang Tian then walked into the room and saw a rather magnificent hall with complete equipment, as well as several corpses lying on the ground among the messy and overturned furniture. Although they were wearing the most common gray hooded linen robes of ascetic monks,
But exposed from the elbows and collar are expensive fabrics.
At the moment of death, their faces were filled with distorted expressions of disbelief, horror, and anger. The wounds on these corpses did not seem obvious, but they were all located on close-fitting points such as the armpits, under the ribs, and collarbones.
Harmful; therefore the bleeding is large and has not completely coagulated.
Judging from their location, it seems that they were caught off guard and were attacked from the side one after another. After struggling painfully and knocking over a bunch of items, they died of heavy bleeding in a short period of time. However, there was something inside the room.
There was nothing there, and the murderer seemed to have disappeared.
"There is still space underneath." Then Jiang Tian just stamped his feet a few times and said without hesitation: Uhtred and Migne, who came with him, then used weapons to pound the ground and walls without hesitation.
Soon, I found the covered entrance under a pile of messy utensils.
After falling below, the cold and damp sea breeze that is unique in winter suddenly blows along the deep downward spiral staircase and the horizontal corridor that leads to an unknown place, making the person's whole body numb from the soles of his feet to his scalp. However, here
, Jiang Tian once again saw a corpse leaning against the wall.
However, the linen robe worn by the corpse was open, revealing the lining of white coarse silk; and his lower body was also pierced by a sharp weapon, and he struggled painfully for a distance before dying; a monk-style short-leaf hammer was embedded in the
On the wall not far away, this also allowed Jiang Tian to make up the image of an assassin.
Judging from the height at which the leaf hammer was thrown, as well as the location of the deceased's wound and the angle of penetration, it can be seen that the opponent was at least a very agile little man; and he was quite familiar with these followers/guardians, so he was able to attack at close range during the attack.
A fatal blow. This made Jiang Tian more and more curious.
Afterwards, Migne, who entered the horizontal corridor separately, quickly left and returned, shaking his head at Jiang Tian. But Utred, who was walking down the spiral staircase on the inner wall, heard roars and weapons clashes.
Sound. As Jiang Tian jumped down in the air, he landed gently at the bottom of the spiral staircase of more than ten meters.
Just as screams were heard, Utred, who was holding a military straight sword, had just backhand pierced a linen-robed attacker who appeared from behind the stone wall; while the other two guard knights waved clubs and hammers.
With his sword, he struggled to block the small group of armed men coming from the doorway at the other end.
And these armed men wearing monks' linen robes couldn't help but froze in shock when they saw Jiang Feng falling from the sky. In an instant, they saw a faint circular sword light flashing like lightning, and they screamed in agony.
He rolled to the ground, with large amounts of blood splattering from the joints of his hands and feet.
"I ask you an answer. If you make a mistake, you will die!" Then, Jiang Tian stepped on the wound of an armed man who looked like he was wearing the most expensive clothes. He watched him scream and asked calmly: "The first one?
Question, where is Princess Theresia and who was the previous assassin..."
"Ah... stop... stop..., okay, okay, I said... I said." The man, who was in pain to his bones with tears and snot all over his face, screamed: "The princess has escaped.
...Not long ago, there were no other attackers, but we were attacked..."
After a while, Jiang Tian followed a passage in the rock wall and came to the edge of a cliff; it seemed to be another dead end. However, when he was about to turn around and find another way, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.
, a bloody cloth hanging in the low bushes above.
After Jiang Tian took it down casually, he was immediately convinced that it was part of a woman's skirt, just like Ms. Marlena, who had been asked to dress up in various shapes in countless boudoir games and then torn to pieces by his own hands.
Close-fitting clothing is general and is also used to wrap wounds.
Jiang Tian instantly kicked his feet and flew out of the cliff. The earth, sea tide, and moist air were rolling in his face. With a gentle thought, he gently pulled at the top of the cliff, and suddenly he was like a big giant.
Like a bird, it slowly rose up in the wind; hovering among the cliffs.
Until he saw it, it was a little higher than the location of the hermitage shelter. The other side protruded from the cliff like a stepped column. It was easy to ignore a trace of dark red blood. Along several patches,
In the direction where the blood stains extended, Jiang Tian finally reached the top of the cylindrical cliff.
However, here he lost his target again. There was only the howling sea breeze, flaming vines, bushes, and rocks that were severely eroded by wind, sun, rain and rain. The next moment, Jiang Tian took a deep breath and suddenly shouted loudly
Said: "Teresa...Teresa..."
As the huge sound waves continued to reverberate between the mountain walls and the promontory, they even temporarily overwhelmed the noise of the waves hitting the shore; and the shock caused the bats and seabirds hidden among the rocks to fly up like clouds.
At this time, an inconspicuous change suddenly occurred.
Among the noisy and screaming birds, a figure like a small black dot screamed in surprise and fell down along with the scattered stones from the corner of the cliff. In an instant, Jiang Tian could see him.
He was a short-haired little man wearing a tan vest with spikes.
"He" was as stiff as a rock, and with eyes full of fear and despair, he pounced towards the suddenly enlarged reef shoal and the roaring tide; then, just as he was about to hit the protrusion of the rock wall, his body suddenly stopped.
Live; face to face with a nest of chirping young birds.
Then, before the baby gulls covered in white fluffs habitually pecked up, they suddenly soared into the air as if equipped with telescopic springs, dancing and screaming like a roller coaster.
In the blink of an eye, he was thrown up into the sky, and then fell down again...
In the end, the inexplicably frightened "him" fell into a solid and powerful arm, but he passed out with his eyes rolled white and foaming at the mouth. So, the final problem fell on Jiang Tian, because he
I felt some kind of warmth and moisture leaking from my arms.
Immediately, he did not hesitate to lift up the chest of this short-haired boy with a muddy face. Well, it was quite obvious as a gender characteristic. Then he uneasily lifted up the waistline, and there were no extra strange objects. It was basically OK.
Be sure that this is the goal you are looking for.
It’s just that Princess Theresia, who was able to rise up without hesitation and assassinate the church guardian who tried to silence her; and who could also play extreme sports on the cliff, did not fit Ms. Marlena’s description.
; Or what exactly happened to her in these years?
At this time, the battle at the foot of the mountain was basically coming to an end. Under the counterattack of the ship of knights from the mountain, most of the Holy Kingdom soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and courage; they retreated to the port and dock market, but no matter what the officers did,
Despite urging, they refused to attack again.
At this time, there was another faint cry from the sea, but it was several large ships from the Holy Kingdom on the other side. Under the dual influence of headwinds and tides, they were full of soldiers and knights in full body armor, relying on oars to paddle hard.
Coming closer to Mont Saint-Michel.
This result also made the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom who had retreated to the port city cheer loudly and cheer again. However, after they cheered several times, a large ship that was very close to Mont Saint-Michel suddenly came from
A large gap opened in the bow of the ship.
Immediately afterwards, it was as if the layers were disintegrating and shattered in the middle; in the blink of an eye, it suddenly turned into a piece of wreckage scattered on the sea, as well as many human bodies struggling to sink... From despair to hope, and then to despair.
Sudden changes and gaps also completely disintegrated the soldiers on the island.
