Ancestors' Benefits - Execution of Xie Nai 3 Chapter 31: Thief Talent
At this time, the two of them saw a blond young man walking into the tavern. He was holding a lifelike half-length painting of Nina, and entered the tavern to ask about Nina's whereabouts... He was a well-dressed man, and he didn't know whether he was a noble or a noble.
Of course, Heath had no impression of the young businessman, but he might have something to do with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art.
"Huo, when did this person paint?" Fageni whispered to Hitz.
"I don't know. It looks suspicious. If that person asks us, we should first ask about the purpose and then see if he is lying." Heath whispered.
After asking the bartender and the waitress, he left directly. "Just holding Nina's portrait in front of everyone, I'm afraid if Nina saw it..." Fageni got up and went out to see if he could call.
Stop him. He walked out of the tavern and wanted to stop the young man, but strangely, he didn't see the man among the crowd. It was very strange.
"He ran really fast." Fageni shook his head and went back to sit down again.
"Go back and remind me. I don't know what Nina would think about being targeted by such a strange guy." Hitz thought about the scene for a moment, and then decided not to think about it anymore.
"Let's go then, we've finished the wine." Fageni drank it all in one gulp.
Hitz also drank the last bit of fruit wine in the cup and stood up. "Let's go."
On the way to the hotel, Hitz suddenly said: "Uh...wait a minute, Fageni, let's go to the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art."
"Huh? What are you going for?" Fageni asked.
"I have to go there." Heath said firmly.
"Why?" Fageni didn't understand.
"Such a beautiful portrait proves that only the church can have painters of this level." Heitz explained the reason.
"Maybe." Fageni was noncommittal.
"Why? A person with a portrait of our companion is looking for our companion everywhere, how can you not find out. Especially when you have lost him... Anyway, do you want to go to the church with me?"
"Hitz didn't blame Fageni, but this matter was indeed a bit strange.
"Nina is here, don't you tell her?" Fageni felt that it was not far from the hotel, so it was better to go back first.
"You can go back and tell Nina, but I have to know that person's purpose." But there is a big problem behind this matter.
"Then go ahead. I'll go up and tell Nina about that person. If she knows him, it will be easy." Fageni said.
"Okay then." Hitz went to the church of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art alone.
Fageni continued walking, returned to the hotel, and went upstairs to talk to Nina about that person. When he was about to knock on the door, he found that the door was only ajar and opened with a light touch.
At this time, Nina was lying on the table and fell asleep. There was also a half-burned scroll on the table. From the pattern, it could be recognized that it was similar to the scroll of the secondary spirit and flesh repair technique held by Alexander before. The specific one was different from the warrior.
Just can't remember it.
"It would be great if I knew how to do this, so I wouldn't have to worry about where the money would come from." Seeing this, Fageni went downstairs to borrow a blanket from the boss to cover Nina, then went out and closed the door.
Afterwards, Fageni found an open space to continue practicing his sword.
On the other side, Hitz arrived at the church, and there was a commotion at the door of the church. A human priest from the Church of the Holy Glory God was trying his best to save a person, who happened to be the young man holding the portrait before. But in his hand, and
There are no portraits nearby, and his face is obviously very pale, and it seems that he has lost too much blood.
As we all know, low-level healing magic cannot regenerate blood. But even if such a big event happened outside, only the people were watching. Those art lovers didn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all. Hitz, who just arrived, left
When he got to the front, he said he was sorry and pushed away those who were watching the fun. He went to the pastor and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"
Maybe the priest hadn't seen the elves very much, so he thought Heath was some important diplomat and told him everything. This man fell here in anger two hours ago, and there happened to be a doctor who was passing by.
During the treatment, someone went to the Holy God Church to ask the pastor for help.
But Hitz and Fageni were actually there an hour and a half ago.
Hitz considered that there were still two bottles of the healing potion used for Thunderbird eggs, which should speed up blood regeneration, so he drank it to see. The potion had a little effect, but the young man did not open his eyes.
Moved his lips.
Hiz reluctantly tried lip-reading. What he said was probably a name, and it was an Endigong-style name. Hiz could only understand the patronymic "Kazisa"-that is, his father's name plus the ending sound.
.
One of the classic formats of Ndigong style names is twelve syllables, five for the surname and four for the given name. The order is first name - patronymic - surname.
After the young man finished saying this name, he died. This was his last flashback...
"...This man has run out of energy." Hitz looked at the unknown man on the ground and sighed. "I'm sorry, I couldn't save this man."
The pastor shook his head, this kind of thing happened a lot, and soon he called someone to dispose of the body.
While waiting, Hitz heard passers-by say that people died every now and then in this church, and that they were already familiar with handling corpses. The methods of death were also the same, it seemed that they were called death by overwork, or occupational diseases, or whatever, it was all caused by various natural factors.
Hitz hadn't seen any obvious trauma on the body before, so she thought for a while and decided to catch up and have a look. "Sorry to excuse you. I've seen him in a tavern before, and I was looking for someone with the portrait, but the people around said
He has been lying here for two hours, can you tell me what happened to this man before?"
"It's just a routine, like painting with blood. There have been so many madmen who devote themselves to art in the past two years, and they come and go every two months on average." said a clergyman who helped carry the stretcher.
"Obviously I saw this person in the tavern an hour and a half ago. The owner of the tavern and everyone present at the time saw this person. Could it be that he just looks the same? Has the painting this person painted been taken away?
?”
"Two o'clock ago, I was still on the easel in the church of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art." The man was not sure.
"Then what did he draw?" Heath asked.
"It looks like a woman without a face, and her clothes are bright red."
"That's it, I understand. Thank you very much." After Hitz thanked them, the clergy walked further and further away.
Hitz turned back and entered the church, maybe there were some clues inside. But she looked around and found no blood paintings.
After thinking for a moment, she asked about who the man who died at the door was, or at least what his name was.
"My father's name is Vintisel. He may be a noble. I don't know anything else." The person who answered behind Heath was a priest, not a believer.
"Does one of the church members paint with blood every two months?" Heath's expression turned ugly when she said this, and she just left and ignored her.
Hitz checked to see that Bogar was not there, and since he understood almost everything, it was time to leave here and go back to the hotel to talk to Nina about this matter.
When Hitz came back, he happened to walk through the back alley. The window of Nina's room was open now. The window of Fageni's room was closed, and he was practicing his sword in the side alley.
"Fageni, you are exercising, am I not disturbing you?"
"It's nothing." Fageni put away the knife. "These days, I always feel that it might be dangerous to go down there."
"How can there be no danger? After all, we are dealing with evil things. I saw that person when I went to church, the person holding Nina's portrait."
"What did that man say?" Fageni asked.
"It's just not what I expected. When I got there, he was already on the verge of death."
"Huh?" Fageni looked confused.
"I heard from people around him and the pastor who rescued him that he had been in that state for two hours. This is obviously inconsistent with the timeline of the person coming to the tavern an hour and a half ago... and I didn't see Nina's portrait either.
, according to the pastor of the Church of the God of Glory, the painting was hanging in the church of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Art two hours ago, but now it has disappeared."
"There's another matter. It could be two brothers. Has that person been rescued?" Fageni wiped his sweat and felt a little cold for no reason.
"No, he's dead." Hitz said directly.
"But it's okay..." Fageni swallowed.
"He was able to persist for two hours only because of the treatment of doctors and the healing magic of priests. According to what others said, he painted the painting with his own blood. Also, the portrait that others saw was of a person without
A woman in red with a beautiful face.”
"Well, I didn't tell Nina what happened before. She was sleeping and I didn't disturb her. Do you think that painting is the one with Nina?" Fageni reacted.
"It's possible, after all, he is exactly the same as the person we met before, and the portrait happened to disappear from the church. In short, he seemed to want to say something when he was dying, but he didn't seem to have the strength to say it, so I reluctantly could only listen to him
I recognized something from the movements of my lips. Kazisa is the patronymic name of Ndigong. Although there are twelve syllables in total, five surnames and four given names, I can only recognize Kazisa. There is one
The priest of the God of Knowledge said he seemed to be a noble."
"This has nothing to do with us. I'll ask Nina later to see what she wants to do." Fageni shook his head.
"Well, she has a right to know that," Sheets said.
Then Fageni went upstairs to see if Nina was awake, and Hitz followed.
But since Fagenius had closed the door when he came out, the two of them could only knock on the door, but no one opened it.
Heath tried to get in through the window of his house.
"What are you going to do?" Fageni asked in the corridor.
"Go in through the window." Heath opened the window and climbed out as he should.
"You still have the talent to be a thief? Can the guards arrest you for this?" Fageni, who followed in, didn't understand at all.
"This is our companion's room, not someone else's room," Hitz retorted.
"You..." Fageni decided to remind others to lock the doors and windows when they met.
Hitz climbed out of the window of his room and glanced at Nina's room. No one was there. There was nothing on the bed, table, or floor. "What's going on?"
Hitz entered the room through the window. "Nina, are you there?" Of course, the result of entering is still the same. There is no need for Nina to hide in the blind spot outside the window.
