'Mr. Murphy' stood up, put one hand on his chest, bowed slightly to the old bishop, and finally said:
"It's such a touching reunion, but it's a pity it's late..."
"Goodbye, my teacher."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes fiercely, his whole body twitched, and blood gushed out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. He fell heavily to the ground, stopped breathing immediately, and died suddenly on the spot.
Suddenly there were screams from all around:
"Kill...kill!"
"That old bastard killed Mr. Murphy!"
"Quick! Call the Sheriff!"
--------------------------
It wasn't until lunchtime that the old bishop was picked up from the cell by Bishop Yeck.
"I'm so sorry, I'm late!"
Bishop Yeck said with a look of shame, and personally helped the old bishop into the carriage, showing respect.
After the carriage started moving, Bishop Yeck carefully considered his words and asked the old bishop what happened.
"That man has become Jin's puppet. After chatting with me, he was abandoned."
"Jin? Are you talking about...the traitor Jin?"
Bishop Yeck asked with a surprised look on his face, and a wisp of cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his back.
The most terrifying villain in history, the most ferocious gangster, the most hateful traitor, the most wanted criminal who has been at the top of the bounty list for a hundred years, actually sneaked into the city of innocence silently?
He finally understood why Artanis was so nervous after receiving his report.
Before going to the bar, the old bishop brought the letter to Bishop Yeck. It just so happened that the Shenguang Sect had recently introduced a set of valuable magic communication barriers, so Bishop Yeck used the new equipment to promptly transmit the contents of the letter.
Read it to Artanis.
The old bishop only wrote one line in his letter:
"He has come to the City of Innocence. I will go see him."
After hearing these words, Artanis immediately exclaimed:
"Quick! Take your people and go find Gallo!"
Even through the communication barrier, Yeck could sense the panic of his old boss through the panicked voice of the other party.
He had never seen Artanis so out of his mind. Even when the evil god invaded, he looked confident and calm in the face of danger.
And his order was a bit strange. Instead of asking people to go to Saint Yoro, he went to find Gallo first?
Fortunately, Artanis quickly calmed down again and gave more precise instructions.
First notify the Miya Cult, then summon the Paladins and Crusaders, and then prepare to activate the Wall of Lament.
Yeke felt dizzy after hearing this. The Wall of Sighs has not been repaired yet. Why is the Archbishop giving random orders?
Unfortunately, this communication barrier was not very durable, and it was interrupted in just a short time. Bishop Yeck had no choice but to carry out the orders of his superiors and ordered the Crusaders to be summoned. At the same time, he took Miseran to the Miya Church.
.
But Gallo wasn't there...
The little Luoli dressed as a priest told him that Gallo went to the suburbs with an old purple-haired woman who kept walking and wandering.
And the old bishop went to a tavern in the city, which seemed to be called the 'Rose with Thorns'?
So Yeck and Misslan divided their forces into two groups, one went to find Gallo outside the city, and the other went to the bar to find the old bishop.
As a result, he had just arrived at the bar when he heard the news that an old murderer had been kidnapped by the sheriff.
After a lot of effort, he fished out the old bishop.
After further questioning, I found out that such a vicious incident had actually occurred, and that the traitor Jin had actually sneaked into the City of Innocence!
Before the traitor Jin became the infamous 'betrayer', he was the leading magical genius in the empire. Although not as exaggerated as the later Gallo, he was still shocking.
At that time, the title and halo on his head and body were as dazzling as the sun, which was unprecedented. No one else could attract the attention of the people, be sought after by the people, and be worshiped by thousands of people like him.
But such a dazzling person betrayed his teachers and classmates for unknown reasons, and created the sensational "Hantan City Massacre" incident.
He sacrificed more than 40,000 innocent people in that city to the evil god Eas.
It is precisely because of this bloody sacrifice that the 'God of Lies' and 'Mother of Desire' can initially break free from the seal of the Righteous God, exert more influence on the world, and cause harm to the world.
This is why Yeck and Artanis are so nervous.
After committing the bloody crime, Traitor King fled eastward, planning to reach the Theocracy of Visakha.
The empire immediately offered a reward of five thousand gold for the man's capture, and he became the empire's most wanted criminal.
That was five thousand gold almost a hundred years ago. Now, two more ‘0’s have to be added to the end.
In addition to the staggering bounty at the time, the three major orthodox churches also offered generous terms, such as the position of the next archbishop and chief of the church.
With such a huge reward, countless brave men must have stepped forward to succeed. Artanis, who was just a cardinal back then, participated in the siege, but was still killed by Jin and fled to the Theocracy of Visa.
After that, he disappeared...
Many people rumored that he died in the Visa Theocracy, or that he was taken into custody by Eas and so on.
In short, people gradually forgot about this devil, and his reward amount has remained unchanged.
This led to the fact that when later people wanted to arrest new criminals, they did not dare to let the amount exceed the figure of 5,000 gold.
Because even a person with a notorious reputation like the Skull Crusher cannot be compared to a traitor.
It was the later mage Wenner who planned to interfere with the Wall of Sighs and lured the evil god to the city of innocence, so he suppressed the traitor who had disappeared for decades on the bounty list.
The old bishop also noticed the cold sweat on Yeke's forehead, smiled and comforted:
"Don't be nervous. He didn't come over in person. He's still staying on the Visa side. He just played some tricks and tried to infiltrate here."
"He always likes to show off his little cleverness in front of me."
After hearing this, Bishop Yeck nodded first, then hesitated for a while, and then asked cautiously:
"No disrespect intended...are you really sure he didn't come over in person?"
"This involves the safety of the Innocence City, I hope you can understand..."
The old bishop nodded and said very firmly:
"Of course, I'm sure!"
"Because Gallo is here."
Bishop Yeck was stunned for a moment, feeling that the other person's tone was a little strange...
When he usually mentioned Gallo's name, it was very natural, just like a normal elder would mention a younger person.
But when he said Gallo's name just now, his tone was particularly dignified and solemn.
It's like he's talking about another person...
at the same time...
Thousands of miles away in the Visa Theocracy, in an elegant and quiet chapel, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties suddenly woke up from an altar and struggled to sit up.
He was wearing a simple robe with a few patches on it, no jewelry on his body, and even only a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He looked like an ascetic monk.
He is the traitor Jin, the devil who has committed numerous crimes.
Next to him, an old man wearing a black cloak and a crown of thorns stepped forward and helped him sit up.
"The experiment is half successful."
The betrayer stretched out his hand to rub his face, straightened his simple robes, and continued:
"The Saints are still sharp, but 'Gallo' is not as strong as I expected."
"He's still growing..."
As he spoke, he looked at a statue in the middle of the church and asked in a low voice:
"Is this your choice? Master Miya?"
That statue is somewhat similar to the mosaic statue in Miya Church, but it has clear body curves carved out, only the face is still blurry.
The figure of the statue is graceful, charming, and naked, exuding strong desire and strong hints.
There is no doubt that this is a serious blasphemy against the goddess Mia.
"Although I still trust you, as always, I have to remind you, my friend, 'Gallo' has ruined your plans twice..."
"This makes me wonder whether your judgment of the situation is too optimistic?"
The old man beside him spoke as a reminder.
But the traitor dressed like an ascetic smiled, shook his head, and explained:
"No, no, my friend, you are worrying too much."
"Whether it's the dead bones in the grave before or the upstarts later, they are all unworthy people after all. If 'Gallo' couldn't even deal with them, then the Innocence City would have been ours long ago."
After hearing this, the old man touched the gray goatee around his mouth and said:
"But even so, your two so-called temptations also cost us a lot of money..."
"But compared with the Innocence City, these are just trivial losses. You shouldn't be such a stingy person, right?"
The traitor spoke softly, his tone was like a devil tempting others to fall.
Seeing that the old man remained silent for the time being, he continued to add:
"You participated in every experiment and witnessed it with your own eyes. Even I became the experimental subject and showed you the results..."
"What's there to hesitate about?"
"You know the situation in the City of Innocence better than I do now. If we can't seize the opportunity, all our previous efforts will be in vain. I believe everyone is willing to witness this scene happen, right?"
The old man's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and instead of continuing the topic, he changed his mouth and said:
"I've worked hard on you during this period, please take a good rest first."
"We need to discuss the rest."
After saying this, he said goodbye to the traitor and walked out of the small church.
After he got on the carriage and walked a long way, he looked at the scenery of Visa outside the window and whispered:
"With a guy like you, who would really believe you?"
After that, he raised his voice slightly and ordered to the coachman:
"Tell people to keep an eye on this guy, and don't miss any of his moves!"
