Chapter 1490 Direction
When Alex left the cabin, he still had a look of reluctance and sadness on his face, but when he closed the wooden door, the muscles on his face seemed to have dispersed, and everyone returned to their own places and homes, and became expressionless again.
This scene of changing faces was seen by Angel.
"I think that if you are not a priest one day, you can actually consider becoming a stage actor." Angel's sincere suggestion was exchanged for Alex's silent glance.
"If you have the intention of being an actor, I can introduce you to a place, Xiju Academy. The actors there are all excellent."
Alex completely ignored Angel's words.
He looked around at the surrounding situation.
The surrounding area is woodland, which is relatively flat. However, because the forest is very dense, the view is not very clear.
Finally, Alex's eyes were set on a cliff not far away.
After a while, Alex came to the high ground. Looking down from here, he could clearly see the wooden house below and the surrounding forest. It was an excellent observation point.
"Next, we have to wait." Alex said calmly.
The so-called waiting, of course, is waiting for the pursuer to arrive.
The location of the abandoned ranger's cabin is actually very far away from the place where the incident happened last night. It is in the other direction of Gust Town, which can be said to be completely two extreme directions.
What they have to do next is to see if the undead who are chasing will come here.
If Knight Raven and Camelot do not find the trace of Mrs. Connie in a short time, they can be sure of one thing, that the person who controls the undead is definitely not someone outside the cage. After all, if this controller is outside the cage, peeking at the cage, his vision must be far-sighted, and he must be able to grasp all the movements of the cage at the first time. Even if Mrs. Connie wants to hide, she can't hide.
But on the contrary, if they can't find Mrs. Connie's trace in a short time, it means a problem, the controller of the undead must be in the cage. Moreover, he can only find the toucher in the first time when the person touches the barrier. If the toucher escapes, he needs to spend a lot of effort to find the toucher if he wants to catch him.
So, Alex chose to wait here.
If no one came here to execute Mrs. Connie in a short time, it can be judged that the other party is not a person outside the cage, and then it is time for Alex to really go out.
Because once the undead controller spends a lot of effort to find Mrs. Connie, the other party will definitely show his feet!
Alex considered things very carefully, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Mrs. Connie, who was just rescued by Alex, is now used as bait by Alex again...
During the waiting process, Angel and Alex exchanged some trivial matters, including local customs, local conditions, language habits and ethnic characteristics.
He hopes to see if he can roughly infer the location of Gust Town through these details.
Perhaps it was because Angel saved Alex's life last night. His attitude was a little better than before. As long as it did not involve Alex himself, Angel would answer any questions he asked as long as he knew.
However, Gust Town did not have any special customs, except that they would go to Kruja Church for worship on major festivals. But this custom is not too special. Basically, countries with religion and politics will have this kind of situation. Alex also said that although he didn't know what country Gust Town belonged to, he could be sure that Kruya Temple was the only religious belief in this country.
From the information currently obtained, Angel could not infer the specific location.
However, Angel guessed that it should still be somewhere in the southern region. After all, he only traveled in that strange passage for a very short time. Based on Angel's understanding of space and time, it should still be within the scope of the southern region.
Moreover, the residents of Gust Town are also human, not humanoid. The language and writing are both common languages on the continent.
Various clues indicate that this is the place where the wizard world civilization is radiating.
But there is one thing that Angel noticed.
Although the residents of Gust Town speak the common language of the continent, they still have an obvious local accent. But Alex is different. Although he has an accent, it is not the same as the accent of the residents of Gust Town.
Angel also asked Alex about the accent, but Alex had no memory of the past and he couldn't answer anything.
However, Angel did have a guess. Although he didn't know where Alex's accent came from, he felt that it should be the accent of somewhere in Fan Continent. Because from Angel's point of view, Angel could understand the two accents of the residents of Gust Town and Alex, but Alex's accent would make him less strenuous to listen.
The sun gradually slanted, and Alex stopped talking. He took out the cowhide water bottle from his waist, drank a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then said: "Almost twenty hours have passed, and the two undead have not come yet. It seems that my guess is correct. There must be an undead controller, and this person is definitely not outside the cage."
Alex turned his head and looked at the distant mountains, where the buildings of Gust Town could be faintly seen.
"Perhaps, this person is hiding in the town, switching between black and white identities, treating everyone as a joke, carrying out the orders of the creator of the cage, and slaughtering those who discover the truth."
Alex stood up and bowed slightly to Angel: "Mr. Pat, please."
Angel understood what he meant and slowly floated down the cliff to the vicinity of the forest guard's cabin.
Looking in from the window, Mrs. Connie was looking at the sunset outside the window with a blank expression, muttering the name of Knight Raven in her mouth, and there were obvious tears on her cheeks.
Angel stretched out his hand, and a wave of illusion slowly spread, enveloping the abandoned forest guard's wooden house.
Alex, who was on the cliff, witnessed with his own eyes the gradual disappearance of the ranger's cabin.
Although this was the second time he saw the power of the so-called "illusion", he still felt shocked. Where does this superhuman power come from? Can I obtain this power myself?
When Alex was in a trance, Angel had completely hidden the Woodsman's Cabin behind the illusion.
In other words, Mrs. Connie was safe again for a short time.
Previously, Alex wanted Mrs. Connie to be used as bait to find out the reality of the undead controller.
However, after knowing the depth of the other party, what we need to do now is to let the other party find Mrs. Connie as late as possible. In this case, the other party's movements will definitely become louder and louder, which will help to catch the other party's feet.
Therefore, Alex asked Angel to hide Mrs. Connie and delay the time for the other party to find Mrs. Connie.
And Mrs. Connie didn't know all these plans; she didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.
After hiding Mrs. Connie through illusion, Angel returned to the cliff: "Because there is no stable energy supply, this illusion will not last too long. If it is not destroyed by external forces, it can last for about a week."
Alex nodded: "One week is enough."
Following the sunset, they walked along the secluded path back to Gust Town. When we arrived in town, night had fallen.
Angel took Alex on a deserted road and turned many intersections before sneaking back to Kruja Church.
Mrs. Connie's escape was definitely a surprise to the manipulator behind the scenes. As long as you think deeply, you can find that someone must be helping Mrs. Connie, and someone may even have discovered the truth about the cage, so the other party is likely to investigate the people in the town, which is why Alex is so cautious on his return trip.
When Alex opened the door to his room, he suddenly frowned, walked around the room, and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong?" Angel asked.
Alex: "The note I left, the location of the pen, and the dust on the door frame have not changed. This means that Father Brunlon did not come to my room today."
Angel glanced at Alex's desk table, where there was a note pressed by an ink bottle. There is a row of words written by Alex on it, the content is: He is going to go to the river to recite the sacred scriptures, and may come back late.
According to Alex, he floated along the river to Gust Town, so he would occasionally go to the river to recite the sacred scriptures in order to retrieve his memory and thank God the Father. Father Brunlon also knew about this, so when Alex left last night, he left a note using this as an excuse.
However, as the night passed, Father Brunlon did not come to his room.
"It stands to reason that Father Brunlon would come to me every morning to listen to Father God's teachings, but why didn't he come today?" Alex was a little confused.
But soon, his doubts were answered.
There was a burst of noise from the front yard. Alex opened the window and looked out, only to see that the church, which usually only had a few sacred night lights lit at night, was suddenly brightly lit.
"Let's go over and take a look." Alex took off his dusty clothes and changed into a more formal divine robe, looking more solemn and holy.
After changing clothes, Alex adjusted his expression slightly and walked towards Kruja Church.
Before entering the church, I heard crying and howling coming from inside.
Alex opened the door and saw a group of people gathered around Father Brunang, crying.
Father Brunlon looked a little tired, but he still tried his best to comfort the people around him. After seeing Alex walk in, he said to the people around him: "Father God, please calm down, Father God." It will definitely drive away the dark clouds hanging over our heads.”
After finishing speaking, Father Brown turned to whisper to a sheriff wearing a round hat. The sheriff took over Father Brown's work and comforted everyone, while Brown walked to Alex. beside.
"Alex, why did you come out just now?" Bollen Lang asked in a low voice.
"Sorry, I have been studying the divine scripture today and didn't pay attention to what happened outside." Alex deliberately did not mention where he was studying the divine scripture.
"It is a good thing to study the sacred scriptures, but you also need to pay attention to the believers' affairs." Bron Lang's expression softened slightly.
From Braun Lang's reaction, Alex immediately understood that Bolen Lang didn't know that he hadn't been in the room all day. It seemed that his excuse of going to the river to read the sacred book was no longer needed.
"Father, please tell me what happened here, why is everyone so sad?" Alex asked with a sad look.
"Alas..." Bolen Lang sighed and told what happened before.
