Chapter 578: Gathering of Dragons
This time it was Taksis's turn to look stiff.
The information she received after sending someone to spy on Xia Fan was indeed much richer. When she learned that the three members of the envoy group disappeared into the mountains and forests to the east of the city and did not come out until several hours later, Taxis finally couldn't sit still.
Obviously Xia Fan has information that she doesn't know and is investigating something privately. Even if the other party never disclosed their willingness to cooperate, she could only take the initiative to come to the door, intending to rely on the prestige of the church to "coerce and induce", and even thought of adding a little more leverage.
After all, it will be the church that will fulfill the promise then, and the Eastern Ambassador will return to the East sooner or later, and no one will remember her somewhat ungraceful behavior.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fan crushed the gem as soon as he arrived at the door of the Foreign Affairs Building.
Now it would be a bit stiff to go back home and pretend that it didn't happen, so Taksis could only walk upstairs with a complicated mood.
"Well...in order to investigate the case, I happened to be patrolling near the harbor area. It's not surprising that I passed by the Foreign Affairs Building, right?" She pulled out a chair for herself and sat down, "What about you, why are you using the badge at this time? Could it be that he thought of the Church of Hera when he encountered troubles that he could not solve?"
"You can think so." Xia Fan did not delve into the timing of the other party's appearance. "I agree to cooperate with the church, but there is a prerequisite."
"You might as well talk about it." As soon as they talked about business, Taxis immediately returned to her normal state.
"The employees of Baiguoyuan were kidnapped by Achie. I hope that the trial team can mobilize all its forces to rescue them." Xia Fan briefly told the story of the factory.
Lars, who was hiding in the cloakroom, was shocked!
The people the ambassador said were willing to help were actually the Judgment Team of the Hera Church?
Is this really possible?
That is the dragonborn who is superior to the local nobles in terms of status, and is also the strongest force in the Holy Wing Islands! Even a low-level employee like him clearly understands what the word Sun God means.
That Ambassador Xia... who is he?
He clearly heard Momola say that the other party had just arrived at Azure Castle a few days ago.
"What do you think of the Tribunal?" Guardian Knight Des Moines said solemnly, "The employees went on strike, and now they are being retaliated by Achie. This is just a cycle of cause and effect, and the church has no reason to get involved! And the Tribunal is coming The only purpose of this is to catch the real culprit who attacked the convoy, and everything else-"
Taxis raised her hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Xia, the premise you mentioned is a unilateral condition, and cooperation requires contributions from both parties. So far, I haven't seen anything you can provide to the church. "
"Is this enough?" Xia Fan took out the gold and stone pendant found in the basement from his arms.
"This is..." Des Moines couldn't help but his expression changed!
Taksis grabbed it immediately, "You can't be mistaken, it's Hera's Royal Order."
"Hera's Royal Order?" Olina on the side asked curiously, "What is that?"
"A general order used within the church. With it, some resources and force can be mobilized without approval from above." Taxis also took out a similar pendant from her waist, except that its gemstone color To be more red, "Generally speaking, believers who can obtain this item must at least reach the priest level. Sons of the Holy Spirit are only eligible to obtain Hera's Order when traveling."
At this point, there was a hint of danger in her tone, "Where did you find it?"
Obviously, only the real culprit who kidnapped the Son of the Holy Spirit himself could get this pendant.
"That's what happens after cooperation." Xia Fan said unmoved, "I can provide detailed information, but you also have to try your best to search and rescue Baiguoyuan employees. Besides, these two things are not unrelated. Saving them means It may also be a key move to destroy the plan of the real murderer behind the scenes!"
"Okay." Taxis responded decisively, "I want to know about the pendant now."
"It was found in the basement of the sanatorium in the east of the city." Seeing the other party nodding, Xia Fan no longer shied away, and immediately told all the relevant information about his investigation into the sanatorium and Du Lin, "...In short, there are eight out of ten murderers. Jiu is hiding in the cave in that mountain.”
After listening to his statement, the faces of Taxis and Des Moines became very solemn.
The evil experiments secretly conducted underground, the death fog from Watch Island, and the attacks and frame-ups against the church all mean that this kidnapping case will never end easily.
"Sir..." Des Moines looked at his boss worriedly.
"We must take action now." Taxis Yongyi made the decision without thinking for long. She stood up and said, "You should inform the Earl of Cleveland now and ask him to send all his men to search for transportation throughout the city. The whereabouts of the hired workers' carriage. The trial team is divided into two teams to attack the residence of Achie and the manager of Baiguoyuan. The relevant personnel must not be allowed to escape. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed! "
This also means that she will take action before the application order is responded to. If something goes wrong, she will bear all the responsibilities alone.
"Yes, I will take the order!" Seeing her determination, Des Moines put away his worries and solemnly clenched his fists on his chest.
Then Takhisis looked at Xia Fan, "To be honest, I don't want to put an envoy who has come from afar in danger, but now the Tribunal needs to be divided into several teams to act at the same time. The frontal combat force will inevitably be weakened, and the participation of any high-level wizard will be of great help to us. I wonder if you are willing to join the Tribunal to attack the cave in the mountain where the murderer is hiding?"
Even at this time, her invitation did not have any coercive meaning.
Looking at the other party's bright eyes, Xia Fan knew that even if he refused, she would not complain, but would resolutely lead the team to the cave.
"I have to ask everyone's opinions," he turned to look at Li, Qianyan and Olina.
None of the three raised any objections.
The most beneficial plan for them is to rescue the Son of God as quickly and safely as possible.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Xia Fan replied, "But the terrain there is steep, I'm afraid we need to prepare a few small boats to transport people in."
"That's not necessary." Takhisis suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth to let out a silent roar! Through her thin and small red lips, her two long and slender fangs were particularly eye-catching.
It was said to be silent because Xia Fan did not hear any sound from her, but he knew that she was indeed roaring because Olena and Desmoine covered their ears at the first time, with painful expressions on their faces.
A moment later, a dull and dense flapping sound came from above the house!
