Chapter 599-98- Please save Sister Susan!
"Huh? Where's the person? He was here just now?"
Looking at the place where the little girl had just stood, the tavern owner was stunned.
He turned his head stiffly, looking at the Knights of Judgment whose faces were becoming increasingly gloomy, beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out.
"Then... that... Lord Judge Knight, may I ask... what crime did you commit in order to find the child?"
The boss asked weakly.
The Knight of Judgment did not answer his question.
The leading team leader just glanced at him coldly and said indifferently:
"When handling a case in the Inquisition, don't ask questions that you shouldn't know. Be careful not to be suspected of being an accomplice of heresy!"
After that, he looked at the entire hall and ordered the other knights:
"Search carefully. No one here can leave until the person is found!"
Soon, the Knights of Judgment took action, and the tavern was suddenly in chaos.
In the corner of the tavern, where the "Mage Apprentice" and the "Knight Squire" were chatting, it had become empty since some time ago, and the two of them were no longer seen.
All that was left on the table was a half-drunk bottle of beer, an untouched piece of fried meat, and a few brand new silver coins pressed against the edge of the table.
……
Outside the pub, in a remote alley.
Along with the light blue magical light, a complex circular magic circle slowly emerged.
The magic circle gradually spread, and the surrounding space also vibrated slightly. Along with a series of distortions of the void, two cloaked figures gradually appeared and slowly walked out of the magic circle.
It was Sebastian and Nice who had left the tavern.
"Huh... I'm really not used to staying in this kind of civilian tavern. After I came out, I felt that the air in the whole world became purer."
Nice stretched his body and took deep breaths greedily.
"You are just used to being pampered by your master."
Sebastian complained as he gracefully put down the unknown creature that was tucked under his elbow.
If the tavern owner saw it, he would realize that the "unknown creature" abducted by Sebastian was none other than the little girl who "accidentally entered" the tavern.
When Sebastian held her under his armpits, the girl continued to struggle, and when she was put down, she ran away.
"This place is not far from the tavern we were in just now. There are Judgment Knights patrolling the streets. If you want to be caught, just run away."
Nice chuckled and said.
The little girl froze in place.
"Hey, judging by your reaction, are you really being chased by the Judgment Knight?"
Nice added.
little girl:……
Her eyes suddenly widened, her innocent pupils were full of grievance and anger, she seemed not to have expected that the words just now were actually a lie to her.
Seeing the girl was interesting, Nice wanted to tease her, but was quickly stopped by Sebastian:
"Okay, Nice, stop teasing her."
After saying that, he looked at the little girl and asked gently:
"Child, what is your name? Why are you being hunted by those Judgement Knights? Where did you get this necklace in your hand?"
After hearing what Sebastian said, the little girl immediately became alert.
She quickly hid the necklace in her hand behind her back, and then retreated timidly like a frightened little rabbit.
"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions. If we had, we wouldn't have saved you just now. We are just a little concerned and a little curious."
Sebastian soothed.
The little girl remained unmoved, and her eyes were still full of vigilance as she looked at him.
"Gulu~~"
The sound of her stomach growling broke the silence and the girl stiffened slightly, her dirty face instantly turning red.
Sebastian looked strange.
"Nice, did you bring any food?"
He glanced at Nice and said.
"Here, it's delicious."
Nice took out a bag of dried fish.
"Damn it! I'm talking about food for human consumption! Keep this for yourself!"
"Discrimination! You are discriminating! This is something that Luoxing Red Palace specially provided to me, Master Cat! It's cleaner than what people eat!"
"It's cleaner than what humans eat? Doesn't that mean it's still not what humans eat?"
"roll!"
The two of them started arguing again, and the little girl was stunned.
"Pfft..."
She couldn't help but laugh.
Sebastian and Nestor immediately stopped bickering and looked over.
The girl's expression was alert again.
"Oh, never mind. Let me do it."
It's time to go to the end of the day.
After saying that, he "conjured up" a box of exquisite small chocolate velvet cake and a cup of sweet milk specially provided by the Northern Ranch.
Nice:…
"Here, it's not poisonous, eat it with confidence."
Under Nice's strange and subtle gaze, Sebastian first took a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth, and then placed the cake and milk in front of the girl.
The girl hesitated.
But in the end, she couldn't resist the aroma of cake and milk, and picked it up carefully.
She took a light bite, and then her eyes widened instantly and her whole body froze in place.
Then he began to eat voraciously.
However, after eating halfway, she suddenly slowed down and ate carefully, taking small bites at a time, as if she was afraid that she would eat too fast and not remember such a wonderful taste.
"Eat it bravely, I have more here."
Looking at the girl's intoxicated yet cautious look, Sebastian felt a little distressed.
After feeding them, the atmosphere between the little girl and the two men finally eased.
"Kid, what's your name? Why are you being chased by the Knight of Judgment?"
Sebastian asked the same question again.
This time, the girl finally let down her guard and said pitifully:
"My name is Ellie, and I'm an orphan of the Grey Swan...then...those knights in red are bad guys!"
Grey Swan Orphanage?
Nice and Sebastian looked at each other and recalled the news they had overheard in the tavern.
"Ellie, where did you get your necklace?"
尼斯问道。
Hearing this question, the little girl Ellie suddenly became alert again and hid the necklace behind her.
Nice helpless:
"Don't be nervous, we're not trying to steal your necklace, we're just a little curious."
"Don't look at us like this. Actually... we are also holy believers. We feel a power similar to ours in your necklace."
As he spoke, Nice stretched out his hand and released the divine power that Charlotte had temporarily bestowed upon him through the network of faith.
The little girl's eyes widened instantly.
She stared at the two of them blankly, her big eyes covered with a layer of mist, and her childish voice was filled with nervousness, excitement, and surprise mixed with tears:
"Light! This is... the light in my dream!"
"My Lord! You are the Lord of God mentioned by the oracle!"
Lord God's Messenger?
oracle?
Nice and Sebastian looked at each other.
They were about to ask more questions when the little girl Ellie suddenly knelt in front of them.
I saw her face full of tears, her big watery eyes were full of prayers and hopes, her soft voice was filled with uncontrollable sadness:
"God's envoy! God's envoy! Please save Sister Susan! Please save Sister Susan!"
"This necklace was given to me by Sister Susan. It belongs to Sister Susan!"
"Sister Susan is not a witch! Sister Susan is definitely not a witch!"
Susan?
Witch?
Could it be the chief priest from Grey Swan who has a background in the Inquisition?
Sebastian and Nice looked at each other again, thoughtfully.
"Don't be impatient, Ellie, take your time."
Sebastian's voice became gentler as he spoke soothingly.
…………
"Please decline all these invitations. Also, tell the church that before the ceremony officially begins, I intend to decline all diplomatic activities and pray for the Holy Spirit with all my heart."
Charlotte rubbed her temple as she handed the umpteenth salon invitation she had received today back to her maid Shirley.
A week has passed since she performed the "miracle" and moved into the Holy Palace.
During this week, she lived relatively peacefully in the Holy Palace. Although there were countless eyes watching her every move, at least no one really jumped out to cause trouble for her.
The deterrent power of "miracle" is still very strong, and the identity of the saint also gives Charlotte enough convenience.
The Temple of the Sun was obviously planning to avoid her for the time being, and the only thing that gave Charlotte a headache was probably the almost worshipful enthusiasm of ordinary clergy and believers after the miracle.
Faced with countless invitations every day, Charlotte had no choice but to send out her last resort - "retreat".
To be honest, Charlotte even suspected that this was deliberately instigated by the Temple of the Sun, whether it was the recent instigation of her praise and killing in the Holy City, or the increase in the number of guards of the Holy Palace on the grounds of safety after the assassination, all these things probably had only one purpose, which was to make her stay there honestly and not think about going anywhere.
Fortunately, Sebastian and Nice were both very good at disguising their identities. After leaving the Holy Palace, their activities were not restricted and they were not under surveillance. It was enough for them to be her eyes.
"After so many days, I don't know if they have any new news."
Charlotte muttered to herself as she took a sip of the sweet milk specially supplied by the Northern Ranch and tasted a small piece of chocolate velvet cake.
She still had great confidence in Sebastian and Nice's abilities.
There has been a lot of commotion in the Temple of the Sun these past few days, apparently the aftermath of her performing a "miracle".
The bigger the noise, the bigger the flaw. As long as the Temple of the Sun is eager to kill her, it will inevitably reveal its true colors.
After finishing her snack, Charlotte wiped her mouth gracefully.
And just at this moment, a sudden impulse came, and Charlotte heard whispered prayers and calls.
It's Sebastian and Nice.
"Great Master, Nice and I have found important intelligence and need to report it to you urgently!"
Listening to the voice from the bottom of her heart, Charlotte was cheered up.
She let out a light breath, and communicated with the two of them, transmitting her voice:
"Return to the palace immediately and report to me."
It is still too risky to transmit messages through the air, and it is not necessarily clear. After all, this is the Holy City, and who knows if there are any sensing artifacts deployed.
Even if Charlotte still has the ability to use the connection between the two to perform divine descent, she will only use it when absolutely necessary.
To be on the safe side, let's listen to their reports in person.
In less than an hour, Nice and Sebastian, who had taken off their disguises, returned to the palace where Charlotte was.
