Chapter 44: Infiltrate the Temple
Chapter 44: Infiltrate into the temple
After I asked, the woman did not answer my question immediately, but saluted me first, and then said, "I want to ask Lord Zi Ri to do me a favor."
The woman's words made me stunned. There were many people who asked me to help in the past, but she was definitely the first one who dared to open her mouth when she was afraid of being like this. "Tell me what you want and what you plan to use as a reward. If I think it's a good deal, I will help you."
The woman immediately looked up at me excitedly and said, "Then did you agree?"
"Wait a minute. When did I say I agreed? You haven't told me what you want me to do yet?"
"That's right." The woman explained: "I was actually a famous magician, but Solo asked for a seal from the temple to force me to marry her and completely sealed my power. Now I am almost no different from ordinary people. If you can help me destroy this seal, then I am willing to pay you any reward you think is appropriate."
When I heard this woman's words, I bent over and leaned on Ye Ying's neck with interest and looked at her and asked, "Is the reward you said that I think is too general? Can I understand it as a contract to sell your body?"
"Yes, as long as you can help me unseal, then I'm willing to be your slave."
I stretched out three fingers and said, "First, there is no shortage of people around me. Second, I don't know how strong you are yet. Even if I need help, you may not be qualified. Third, how can you be sure that I can unseal the seal?"
I originally thought that the woman would beg me wrongly after I asked, but she was not humble and arrogant, but she also stretched out three fingers. "First, whether there is a lack of people is relative. As long as I have the ability, for you, even if you lack a man, you are the one you lack. Second, you are absolutely sure of my strength. In the human world, except for the gods, I can basically deal with most of the enemies. Of course, the premise is to get back all my strength. Third, the way to unseal is to kill the person who sealed the seal or the god who provides the seal. Of course, I did not intend to let you fight with the gods, after all, that is too difficult. You just need to kill Soro, he is the user of the seal, I am the bearer, and the god who provides the seal is the guarantor. As long as one of the three parties in this seal does not exist, the seal will naturally be lifted."
When I heard that woman's words, the first thing I thought about was not how to help her complete her request, but to borrow her things to get into the other party's forces. First of all, this woman is a local. If she is willing to provide cover for me, then I will basically not be exposed. After all, with a local guide, everything will be much easier. Second, even if I was discovered, this woman's mission can confuse the enemy very well and make others think that I am just here to complete the task. My real purpose is to investigate the secrets of the Russian gods. Of course, I would be very happy to kill one or two advanced gods by the way to earn some experience.
"What's your name?"
"Hmm?" The woman didn't expect that I would suddenly ask her name. When she heard my question, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "My name is Celia Annette Augustine. You can call me Celia."
"Do you know where that Soro is now?"
"At..." Celia was about to answer but was stunned. "What do you mean you agreed?"
I nodded and said, "I will help you restore your mana first, and then look at your strength. If you are really strong and able to meet my requirements, I will take you to my guild and give you a suitable job. Don't worry, I will not treat you as a slave. You are our formal employee and enjoy the same treatment as other employees. Of course, this premise is that you have enough strength to make me admit. If I finally find that your strength does not satisfy me, then I will come back to see if you have anything else to pay. Look at your father, you should be the city lord here? I think he should have enough family background to bear the cost."
"Yes, if you don't like my strength, we can pay for something else. Thank you so much. That, please wait a moment, I'll take you to find Solo."
"Don't ride your horse, that thing is too slow." I made a random move and Xiaoxue suddenly appeared beside Ye Ying, then picked it with her head, threw Celia directly on her back, then spread her wings and flapped it and flew.
Because everyone next to us heard about our conversation, she didn't react much to the sudden departure and the crowd around her, but was shocked by Xiaoxue's beauty. Celia, who was riding on Xiaoxue's back, was also surprised by the mount under her. The Silver Winged Unicorn is an extremely rare creature even in the God Realm. Celia had only seen it from afar before. Not to mention riding, she had never even touched it. Today she was able to ride on the back of the Silver Winged Unicorn so excited that she even breathed quickly. Fortunately, she knew that she had something to do now, so she immediately calmed down and pointed me the way: "The street in front is the teleportation array, and we can just teleport to the Knights City from there."
"City of Knights? Isn't that your kingdom?"
"Yes. The god who guaranteed Solo is the God of War. His temple is in the center of our capital, Knights."
"Haha, it seems that this guy is born with a bad luck." If I hadn't met Celia, I would have to trouble this martial god. Who said he was the closest god to me? I didn't expect that after taking on a small task, he still pointed at him, so I said that this guy is a bad luck and could never escape the fate of being asked for trouble by me.
Of course, Celia didn't know what I had planned before, so she couldn't understand what I said, but she also knew that this matter was not something she should care about, so she didn't ask.
After flying directly from the air to outside the Teleportation Hall gate, we landed, and then led by Celia. We directly used the teleportation array to teleport to the Knights City. Because Celia said that the Knights City is the capital, riding mounts is prohibited in the city except for personnel with special permissions, I put away Ye Ying and Xiaoxue in advance. Rules and other rules are not bad for me, but I don’t want to add extra trouble, so it’s better to be low-key.
Walking out of the teleportation array on the Knights' City, you can immediately feel the huge difference between this side and the previous Hope City. Although the villagers I met when I asked for directions before said that Hope City is a large city, in my opinion, it is a small town. Although the so-called royal capital in front of me is not as big as I imagined, it is much larger than Hope City. At least it can be seen from the road in front of me. The road in Hope City is only more than six meters wide, and it is okay to walk, but if you have a car, it will be a little crowded. However, the road in Knights' City is as wide as a square, and it is already quite good.
"You are familiar with this place, so you can lead the way." I said to Celia.
Celia nodded and took me out of the Teleportation Hall, but she did not take me directly to find Solo, but took me to a strange building first. This building is located opposite the Teleportation Hall, and there is only a considerable reception hall. The crowds coming and going in the hall are constantly flowing, and it feels like the traffic of the Teleportation Hall is almost catching up with the traffic.
“Where is this place?”
“External Personnel Registration Office.”
"Ah?" I was shocked. "There is this thing in the Knights City?"
"What? Is it strange?"
"It's really strange. I've never heard of any city that has this thing before."
"That's probably because there is a temple here!" Celia replied uncertainly.
"There are many cities with temples, and only there is such a registration office here. I think people just want to use this thing to monitor outsiders. After you take me here to register, we will be targeted immediately. It is estimated that whatever you want to do will become very inconvenient!"
"But if you don't register here, you will be arrested as long as you walk out of this street!"
"Did you say it earlier?" I said, and pulled Celia to an inconspicuous corner, and then asked Celia to help me block it for a while. When Celia blocked the corner, I entered invisible mode. Not to mention that there was no registration now, even if I wanted to kill people in the street, few people would find me. "Okay, go out now."
"Are you invisible?" Celia heard my voice but was surprised to find that my figure disappeared.
"Just know I'm by your side. Now you just walk forward and I'm behind you."
"Okay, don't lose it." Celia said that, then turned around and walked out of the registration office, and then I followed her out. After returning to the street, Celia's speed was significantly slower, probably because she was afraid that she would lose it. After all, she couldn't see me now, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
We walked less than fifty meters, and suddenly we heard a shout. "Celia!"
I followed Celia and obviously found that her whole body shook when she heard the scream, but after seeing the person making the sound, I understood everything. The person coming was not someone else, but the Solo. Although I had never seen him, I recognized it at a glance, because the kid was indeed wearing the same equipment as me. If he hadn't brought a helmet, he would have really looked exactly the same as me.
Seeing that guy running over, Celia immediately wanted to retreat in fear, but she only took a step back and I reached out to hold her back. "Don't be afraid, I'm behind you. I can beat a hundred people like him. If he dares to do anything, I promise to kill him as soon as possible."
When she heard my assurance, Celia was obviously calmed down. It seems that she was originally a senior combatant, but now that her strength is blocked, she will naturally be afraid. It was not until I spoke to remind her that she thought that she was a super bodyguard, and that she felt stable.
Soro, opposite, ran over quickly, then stood in front of Celia excitedly and said, "Celia, why did you come to the Knights City? Did you come to find me? Haha, I am so excited. I said, sooner or later, my sincerity will touch you. Come, go back with me." After Soro said all these words, he didn't care about it, and immediately reached out to pull Celia away. Celia wanted to struggle, but after I whispered to remind her, she let Soro leave half-heartedly.
Although I am invisible now, it is on the street at least. If I do something, I will definitely be discovered, so I have to leave the crowded area. Although Celia doesn't want to follow her, she also knows that if she wants to completely solve the problem, she must solve Solo, so she has to follow my advice and let Solo go.
My original plan was that Soro would take us back to his palace, and then I took the opportunity to capture him and ask about the temple. I heard the golden-retriever say that this guy seemed to be a temple knight, and he should know more about the temple, so that I could get closer to that temple. However, a little different from my plan was that Soro did not bring Celia back to his palace, but took her to the temple directly.
As soon as we turned to the road in front of the temple gate, I found two Hawkeye Guards standing at the entrance of the temple gate. This special NPC that is very popular in European temples has no other skills, but I am good at identifying and disguising. If I follow this way now, I will definitely be discovered immediately. However, although the Hawkeye Guards are not considered high-level troops, they are very small, so it is impossible for the entire temple to be everywhere, but I can't enter through the main entrance.
While the distance was still far, I quickly put my finger in Celia's ear and whispered: "The two guards at the door can counter-invisible. I can't go in through the gate. I will touch the temple from another place later. Don't be nervous, just follow Solo. I have put my summoned creatures on both of you, and I can know your situation at any time."
Although Celia was a little nervous when she heard my words, she finally nodded. After she confirmed, I quickly left the road and rushed to the building next to her, and then several rises and falls into the building complex on the side of the temple. A large number of ghost insects were released to detect the surrounding environment and then I easily touched the inside of the temple along an unguarded route.
Speaking of which, although this martial god temple is cultivated in the divine realm, its scale is not as large as that of the temples of light and dark temples in various countries. I don’t know if this martial god is not doing well or for some other reason.
After entering from the side of the temple, I carefully walked through several buildings, and then touched the rear door exit of the temple hall. To enter the interior of the temple, I had to come out through this door. The hall in front was just a place for some regular work, and the real temple staff were all behind. The place where Soro wanted to take Celia to his place must not be in the front hall, so I could definitely wait for them here. However, after I waited for a few minutes at the back door of the hall, Celia and the others did not come in, but I saw another group of people, and they were also a group of extremely important people.
