Parallel Army - The Sound of Turning Tide Chapter 15 The Seal Is Loose
Since it was already dark and going would cause trouble, Chester consciously proposed to stay in the hotel and copy the contents of the magic book.
"Well... let's go back to the hotel together, Xiz. You seemed a little uncomfortable just now, so be careful. And we have to avoid being alone now, even in the hotel." Alexander suggested.
"Do you suspect that he knew we were coming?" Fageni asked, and then whispered: "Yes."
"I don't suspect anything. There are so many clues now. I can't doubt everything. I just proceed with caution." After Alexander finished speaking, Fageni told Heath the location and handed the key to Chester.
And taking advantage of the last unscheduled dinner time, Kanas "walked" to the trading house. It happened that Alexander and Fageni saw this scene from a distance - the latter also got what he wanted and saw the burly Naga.
The countercurrent trading company here mainly deals in seafood and jewelry. The supervisor in charge is not surprised by Kanas, who has been here several times. Putting aside what happened today, Kanas learned from the supervisor that everything is normal
, presumably only a few strong people in the countercurrent trading firm feel this way.
"Oh?" Alexander walked into the business and saw Kanas talking to the staff and said hello: "I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
"This is Naga." Fageni looked at it curiously with eyes that were as non-offensive as possible. "As expected, it's better to see it with your own eyes than to hear it from others."
"Oh? You're here too." Kanas turned around after hearing the archer's greeting.
"Hello, my name is Fageni, and I am Alexander's companion." Fageni gave a simple self-introduction to Naga, and he looked very strong.
Kanas caressed the hilt of the knife at his waist. "Kanas, you can call me Kanas. I haven't asked you before, are you adventurers?"
"We are mercenaries, and we also have a job of licking the blood with the blade and making a living. It's ridiculous." After Alexander and Kanas finished talking, he said to the staff member: "My Excellency, Alexander Johnson, this is Fageni.
." She reported her identity and purpose of coming, and asked for information about Ronan and the situation of the village annihilation case that she had previously entrusted the commercial bank to investigate.
"The case of annihilation of villages? Is it from the sea?" Kanas asked.
"For now, it has nothing to do with Haili." Alexander waited for the staff to reply.
Fageni looked at Kanas's scales, recalled the scales on the silver-haired man's feet, and then carefully identified the differences from those on Kanas's body.
It seems that Naga's scales tend to be snake scales, and the hooded man he saw earlier seems to have fish scales. Fageni shook his head to get rid of his random thoughts.
Then Kanas noticed Fageni's weapon. He could tell at a glance that the rusty iron sword carried by this human warrior was very extraordinary and contained a trace of real sword intent.
This is an ability that can only be mastered after reaching a certain level. It is said that it is produced after the magic power in the body infects the weapon. However, it seems that the human warrior in front of him has not yet mastered the sword intention, but only the sword intention that has just been generated.
Even the weapon of Kanas, the leader among Nagas, has not yet developed the sword intention. Maybe it is because there is no weapon to take advantage of.
"Your weapons are very good, but you..." Kanas glanced condescendingly at Fageni. "Some of them are too weak and are not worthy of this weapon."
"Oh." Fageni replied without anger: "Would it be easier for a Naga with multiple arms like you to fight?" Fageni thought he knew why the Naga named Kanas behaved like this.
explain.
"Of course, Naga's swordsmanship is unparalleled in the sea." Kanas said proudly.
"The most powerful sea? Are there other races in the sea?" Fageni asked curiously.
"Of course, in your human language, they are fishmen, mermaids, naga, and other non-intelligent races. The sea is the source of life."
"That's it. I don't have much knowledge. I didn't even know about Asians before." Fageni shook his head, thinking about when he would take time out to go to the library to read books for a few days to refresh his mind.
Kanas looked at the sword with regret, feeling like a treasure covered in dust.
The staff has completed the confirmation. It is estimated that even if the investigation has results, it will not reach such a far away city so quickly. There is no need to use the Origin Core to transmit Alexander's information, because the source of the Origin Core is now almost completely cut off.
.
Ronan's words and the professional spies hired from the trading company showed that at least he had not left the city gate. Apart from this information, there was no other new information. In other words, Alexander and others could still only make passive preparations, hoping that before the wedding started
Catch Bishop Ronan's trap unless you have bad luck.
Alexander then expressed that he understood, and then gave the intelligence notes he received from Chester to his supervisor to explain the situation and see if he could contact someone over there to handle the matter.
Next, the supervisor will update the information and send it over. Of course, it will be about a week later.
In the end, Alexander said goodbye to her supervisor after finishing her work and planned to go to the Church of the Holy God of Glory. Then she suddenly remembered what Fageni had mentioned before: "By the way, Fageni, haven't you seen something fishy with scales on its legs before?"
People? Ask Mr. Kanas?"
"People with fish scales?" Kanas recalled, and dug out a picture and a sound from the depths of his memory. A female red-tailed mermaid who couldn't remember her appearance told the story of a mermaid who accidentally washed up on the shore and the relationship between her and the man who saved her.
The story of human love, and a vague question and answer.
From the beginning to the end, there is no such thing as mixed blood. The combination of humans and fish-men determines the race of the child based on the race of the mother, and the children of mermaids and humans will only be human. Naga cannot mate with humans.
"Ah, Brother Kanas." Fageni thought for a moment and said, "I met a strange man who seemed to have fish scales on his feet before. He wore a white hood, had silver hair, and had an X-shaped scar on his face."
Fageni gestured at the location of the scar on his face. "I wonder if you know such a person? By the way, the fish scales are blue."
Regarding the situation of fish scales growing on humans described by Fageni, Kanas finally did not think of any matching situation. "Strange, it is difficult for humans and sea tribes to give birth to offspring, and even if they are born, most of them will be humans.
I have never seen the situation you mentioned, where did you encounter it?"
"In this city," Fageni replied.
"Can you please be more detailed? Didn't we just meet him just now?" Alexander shook his head.
"If you want to describe it more specifically..." Fageni told Kanas the location of the alley, but even if he goes back to look for it now, he may not be able to find it. It's a new arrival, not to mention that there are at least one street on the street.
Twenty or thirty alleys. "Maybe it's over there?"
"Strange. So, what are you going to do now?" Kanas was confused.
"We plan to go to the Church of the Holy God of Glory and ask... Hey, I told you about the evil priest before, right? In fact, we are chasing him. Now that he is here, he must do something.
Who knows if what happened just now has anything to do with him, we have to hurry up and act." Alexander felt helpless.
"Evil God Priest, you are really full of blood. Then let's say goodbye. Recently... no, it's nothing." Kanas said goodbye to Alexander and others, turned around and left Nishili Trading Company, and recuperated for the next few days of work schedule.
sharp.
"Well... let's say goodbye first." Alexander saw that the man was hesitant to speak, and was a little disappointed. But time didn't wait for anyone, so he had to go to church immediately.
Considering that he had already inquired with Kanas anyway, Alexander took the opportunity to inquire with the staff of Nishili Trading Company about people with scales on their legs.
Countercurrent Merchant is aware of this. This symptom of unknown scales cannot be simply defined as a disease. There seems to be a certain curse component in it, but it cannot be purified for the time being. Bishop of the Holy God of Glory
There is nothing a senior priest can do.
Currently, more than a hundred people have been recorded, and they are all under separate control, but there have been no deaths yet. This is a statistical result jointly produced by the record officers of the Church of the Holy Glory God and the Bakato nobles.
"That's right...thank you." It was obvious that this fish that slipped through the net was not controlled. Alexander was about to leave and go to the church, followed closely by Fageni.
It was already very late when the two arrived at the Church of the Holy God in another corner. Only two paladins and a few trainee priests were still in the cathedral. Alexander reported his identity and explained his purpose of coming, and wanted to see the person in charge.
After showing the certificate obtained in the imperial capital, and after a relatively tedious confirmation and a period of waiting, a fat bishop in gorgeous clothes came to the two of them.
"Adventurers from afar, on behalf of all the believers of the Church of the Holy God of Glory, I would like to thank you for taking the trouble to come here. The other two bishops are unable to receive you due to business reasons, although I, Tizivan Slovin, am only responsible for treatment and prevention.
Although I am sick, I will try my best to meet your requirements." The bishop's breath was not stable, his face was rosy, and Fageni could even imagine what this man might have been doing before.
This appearance really made Alexander a little uneasy. "Coming late at night will disturb you a lot. But at dusk before, we felt the pressure from the other side of the sea. I thought something big must have happened, so I took the liberty to come here.
, I would like to ask if the church has any news in this regard recently."
"You two can rest assured about this. The other two bishops were unable to escape because of the loosening of the seal. Of course, please do not make a big deal about this to avoid damaging the church's arrangements. If a small-scale battle occurs, please do so.
You two are here to help."
The bishop's tone was quite confident, and his words contained reassurance for his colleagues. Alexander, who was suffering from paranoia, believed that he was not lying.
