More than ten miles away from the imperial capital of Borelli, a simple checkpoint made of wood was erected on the spacious avenue. Two arrow towers and a wooden guardrail blocked the avenue, plus a row of crude wooden houses. This is
All levels.
But on the grass next to this simple checkpoint, there is a large inn with three entrances. The inn is made entirely of blue-gray boulders and looks old and colorful. There are several trucks carrying goods.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and a dozen porters were washing the pack horses.
Blackbeard, wearing a set of ordinary armor, stood behind the checkpoint, holding a golden disc the size of a human head made of unknown material, frowning at the flickering stars on it. The disc was carved with extremely complex details.
The celestial pictures and texts on the disk have a deep and mysterious luster, like a door leading to another space. If you look at it for a long time, you will have a strange feeling that your soul will be sucked away from your eyes.
There are hundreds of flashing light points moving on the disk. These light points are either white or purple-gold, and the light is extremely bright.
Only a small blood-colored light spot loomed on the disk, sometimes emitting a strong light, sometimes disappearing, and its position always floated around on the disk, and it was impossible to grasp where it was. Blackbeard
He sighed in annoyance: "It is indeed the Black Abyss Prison with the strictest security in the church. Even Lao Bing, who was exiled to the Ice Demon Realm, can locate the astrolabe, but it can't determine where Lin Qi is!"
With a faint sigh, Blackbeard stuffed the astronomical disk into the space ring. He frowned and complained: "This was when the kid was just born, so I begged the old immortal of the Dazong to take a drop of Lin Qi's blood.
This fixed astrolabe is bound to Lin Qi’s soul. Even though Lin Qi’s position cannot be determined like this, is it possible that the Black Abyss Divine Prison is not in this world?”
Sha Xin, who was standing next to Blackbeard, was slowly sharpening his nails with a small knife. He lazily looked towards the distance of the avenue: "It's better if you're not dead. If you're not dead, there's still hope of rescue. But I said tiger,
You told Stan that after you left the imperial capital, you would go back to Dunerki to be a good citizen of yours. It has only been a few hours, but you came here to set up a jam. What do you want to do?"
Before Blackbeard could answer, Sha Xin pointed at the huge inn again: "There is also this shop. It seems that this shop has a history of at least hundreds of years. In just a few hours, you can build such an inn.
?”
Blackbeard calmed down, wiped his beard vigorously, and looked at the strange sand heart and laughed.
"Stop talking nonsense, I came here to kill people!" He laughed gloomily a few times, and Blackbeard gritted his teeth and said: "The anger has not gone away, I have to kill a few more! As for this shop, hey, hey, hey hey
The affairs of my Black Tiger family have nothing to do with your Fox family!"
Sha Xin shrugged his shoulders and forcefully inserted the knife into the wooden railing of the guardrail. He rolled his eyes and glanced sideways at Blackbeard, and spread his hands helplessly: "They say that people from my Sha family like to hide the most.
Things, but I always feel that your Lin family is the biggest miser among us! I always feel that there is something weird about this inn!"
Blackbeard said nothing, he just pinched his fingers and slowly counted the time.
The Holy Glory Cathedral was bloodbathed, and Alpha alone would definitely not be able to bear this responsibility. The church would definitely send core figures to the Gallic Empire to investigate the matter. But because Alpha suddenly used a positioning teleportation array to forcefully break through the empire's interference,
The empty barrier appeared directly in the court of the Supreme Court. The Gallic Empire used a messenger circle to submit a fierce protest to the church.
At this sensitive moment, the various countries in the mainland have just reached certain agreements with the church. The church will definitely no longer take the risk of angering the emperor and directly use the teleportation circle to appear in Bo Laili. They can only take a detour elsewhere.
The closest and largest church to Bereli is located in Black Forest City, a medium-sized city fifty miles south of Bereli.
Those clergymen who came to Bo Laili to investigate the murder case at the Holy Glory Cathedral most likely transferred to the teleportation circle in Black Forest City, and then rushed from Black Forest City to Bo Laili.
So after Blackbeard bid farewell to Stan, on the one hand, he pretended to take his family men back to Berelli, but in fact, he took all the elites to a place more than ten miles south of the city to set up a card and hung up the sign of the Imperial Legal Department.
, set up roadblocks here to arrest fugitives.
"So many people have died in the Holy Glory Cathedral. Even if there is a power struggle within the church, a few hours are enough for them to send out an investigation team." Blackbeard looked at his hands: "I'm not greedy either.
I just want to kill a few Templar Archbishops to vent my anger."
"The church is too strong. It is impossible for the Black Tiger family to have a head-on conflict with the church, but there is no problem in killing a few of its henchmen!" Blackbeard patted Sha Xin's shoulder hard: "So, Fox, we will do it again this time.
You helped me kill someone."
Sha Xin sighed heavily, glanced sideways at Blackbeard with a pitiful look as if he had made a careless friend, and then nodded heavily.
The avenue was very lively with people coming and going. After all, this was the main traffic route leading to Bureleli. In just two hours, dozens of caravans had passed through the checkpoint. Under Blackbeard's order, people dressed in costumes
Leo, a law enforcement judge in the Ministry of Justice, led a group of subordinates to turn these caravans upside down, delaying the time of these caravans intentionally or unintentionally.
The official document with the bright red seal of the Ministry of Justice is hung in the most eye-catching place of the checkpoint. This proves that this checkpoint is an important institution newly established by the Imperial Ministry of Justice to capture suspects. Therefore, no one in those caravans dared to complain, let alone
They dared to move randomly. They just accepted the inspection honestly and allowed their goods to be turned over.
Seeing that the inspection speed was too slow, some businessmen accompanying the team simply left the avenue and went to the inn to have tea and rest.
Some of the businessmen were old people who often walked this route. They were very surprised as to why an inn suddenly appeared here. But their doubts only lasted for a very short time, and then they walked into the inn as a matter of course and enjoyed themselves.
Enjoy the attentive service in the inn.
Just when Blackbeard took out the astrolabe to watch for the fifth time, three white flags suddenly appeared on the avenue ahead. The white flags were inlaid with gold edges, and the flags were embroidered with gold thread, silver thread and blood thread respectively.
A holy crown, a seal and a thick scepter.
This is the flag of the Apostolic Hall of the church. These three big flags represent the presence of senior clergy from the Apostolic Office. The appearance of three flags at the same time means that the three popes have sent their closest subordinates at the same time, at least
A figure at the level of the Archbishop of the Templar Church.
Then a team of three hundred people marched in neat steps, surrounded by three carriages. However, a long team was blocked in front of the checkpoint, and they had to stop two miles away from the checkpoint.
The steps forward were taken.
Soon a bishop in red robes walked over quickly, surrounded by several guardian knights. The cardinal, who looked to be in his early fifties, waved his arms angrily and yelled: "
The spokespersons of the gods on earth, the leaders of all believers, the saints closest to the gods, and the three pope’s envoys who are forever illuminated by the light of the gods are arriving. Get out of the way quickly and don’t delay the important mission of the envoys!”
The caravan members who were being inspected fell to their knees one after another. They knew what the Pope's envoy meant.
Although the various countries on the mainland have joined forces to take a piece of flesh from the church, only the top leaders of each country are aware of this matter. For ordinary people, they have no idea that the various countries on the mainland have just fought with the church.
There was an obscure contest.
In their hearts, the church is still a supreme and irrefutable existence, and the pope, as the cardinal said, is the incarnation of God, the person closest to God, and the spiritual leader of all believers.
They didn't dare act arrogantly in front of the envoys they sent.
So everyone put down their chopsticks and touched their foreheads to the ground piously, except for the people from the Black Tiger family.
Blackbeard swung his arms and walked up carelessly. He punched the official document of the Ministry of Justice hanging on the guardrail with his hand, and howled angrily: "What happened to the church? What happened to the Pope's envoy?"
?We are here to... arrest fugitives under the orders of His Majesty the Great Emperor, the most loyal minister around him, the Minister of Justice of the Empire!"
Blackbeard looked at the ambitious and arrogant cardinal coldly, and spat hard on the ground.
"Just wait and wait. The people in front haven't finished checking, so it won't be your turn to pass!"
The cardinal was furious. He pointed at Blackbeard tremblingly and started to curse. Blackbeard stared at the cardinal and said word by word with a cold face: "Don't bring trouble to the church. This is
Our Emperor’s decree... everyone, anyone, no matter who they are, no matter what their status is, must be carefully checked!"
The expression of the red-clothed Guijiao suddenly changed. He took a deep look at Blackbeard, turned around and left without saying a word.
After a while, the church team of 300 people slowly came to the door of the inn next to the checkpoint. The doors of the three carriages opened, and several old men with white hair and beards slowly stepped out of the carriages. There were six people in total.
The old man, who was wearing a pure white robe, a crown on his head and holding a scepter, glanced in the direction of the checkpoint, shook his head gently, and then walked into the inn.
Not long after, all the guests who were having a tea break in the inn retreated in fear, and left in the blink of an eye.
Blackbeard grinned and smiled cruelly.
"How do you say that? I said, these magicians will definitely be fooled! Because they like to show off, how can they sit obediently on the carriage and wait for us to slowly inspect it? Even if they are waiting, they have to find the best place.
Just a comfortable place!”
Sha Xin shook her head and cursed in a low voice: "Which one of us is the fox?"
Blackbeard smiled mysteriously, swayed his arms and led the people towards the inn. (To be continued)
