Chapter 628 Intelligence

Thinking that the butler was outside the door, Xia Fan immediately called him in and asked about the selection of the Holy Son.

However, the latter said that he was only responsible for receiving distinguished guests from all parties and did not understand the internal decision-making matters of the church.

Since Oren could not leave school, Olina had to put the matter on hold for the time being and continued chatting about home affairs for a while before reluctantly saying goodbye to her brother.

At least there were three days of vacation, and she could visit once every day.

Regarding the selection of the Son of the Holy Spirit, the two of them were not too worried - even if the housekeeper didn't know, it was impossible for Taksis not to know the inside story.

As long as she is free after handling official duties, the reason for this matter will come to light.

The envoys spent the next few days quite peacefully. Xia Fan took Li and Qianyan out to visit this ancient city in the West as usual. Olina goes to the market every day to buy new and interesting things as gifts, and spends three hours regularly visiting her brother. During this period, the lords of Hilla City and the church headquarters also sent envoys to contact the Eastern Mission, and the three parties also set a time for a formal meeting - just one week later. From what they said, Xia Fan seemed to want to hold a grand ceremony to formally establish diplomatic relations with Qi Guo. Although this would make Olina's previous identity a little embarrassing, making it public would still be a good thing for both parties. .

Xia Fan also specially granted a holiday to the crew of the White Sand, so that they could have four to five hours of relaxation time off the ship a day. Of course, we should not forget to be vigilant while on vacation. The rotation system allows the White Sands to start as usual even with only one-third of the crew.

However, Taxis did not show up until the third day.

This made Xia Fan feel a little strange in his heart.

"Where does Taksis Yongyi usually live?" He had to ask the housekeeper about her situation.

"Miss Yongyi...she is a member of the Judgment Team and basically has no fixed residence." The housekeeper thought for a while, "If she has no mission and needs to go out, she will usually live in the cathedral dormitory."

In other words, she never came out after returning to the church? Xia Fan thought to himself, "What about the head of the trial team who received the mission that day? He can't live in the church, right?"

"You mean Mr. Sedaro? That's not true. He lives on Shell Street in Uptown, about two miles away from here."

"I want to visit you, please send me a message. This should always be within the scope of your duties, right?" Xia Fan paused, "Or do you have different ways of making appointments here?"

Although the housekeeper didn't understand what the post meant, he had no doubts about Xia Fan's words. "If you want to see Mr. Sedaro, I can help you make arrangements now. As long as you are free and willing to see you, I will be the first to do so." Time to bring the news back to you.”

Xia Fan nodded, "Go ahead."

"Are you worried that something happened to Taksis?" Li Cai asked after the housekeeper left.

"It's true." He sat back on the soft chair. "Now that I think about it, her behavior on the ship seemed too calm."

For the same believers who witnessed gods being devoured by demons, those members of the Judgment Team who stayed in the cabin all day long might have had a normal reaction. Xia Fan felt at that time that there was light flashing in Taksis's eyes, as if she had made some determination. Looking back now, I'm afraid it was some kind of attitude that put oneself aside.

"No need to guess." Suddenly someone walked out from behind the door, it was Feleyton, "I just received the news that Taxis has been imprisoned by the church and has been relieved of all duties. You will not be able to see her in a short time. It’s her turn.”

Looking at Li's dangerous look, he quickly added an explanation, "I was just preparing to tell you the news. I had no intention of eavesdropping on the conversation. It was just a coincidence."

"Can your intelligence network cover the church headquarters?" Xia Fan raised his eyebrows.

"Even if you are a high priest in red, you can't live without gold coins in your daily life." Feleyton smiled, "In fact, the more civilized and prosperous a place is, the more information I can get, even if I don't look for it. They, they will also come to me."

"What's the reason why the church imprisoned Taksis?"

"She publicly proposed to part ways with the gods at the Sun Temple." He roughly recounted the information he received. "This incident caused a great impact within the church. In order to calm people's hearts, Taxis was temporarily detained. The senior officials estimated that A ruling will be made soon.”

"Judgment?" Li asked in a deep voice, "What will they do?"

"I don't know about that. The worst outcome is to worship God with one's body, and the best outcome is to be imprisoned for a period of time and then released - she is a dragonborn after all, and the possibility of execution is basically zero."

“What does it mean to honor God with one’s body?”

"Do you really want to know?" Felayton showed a playful expression, "If you ask me, this is simply the most disgusting thing about the Flying Lizard." Even so, his tone did not hide anything for the Dragonborn. The meaning, on the contrary, is said with relish, "The way for these people to stably give birth to dragon descendants is to pass on blood, and both parties are required to be dragon descendants, but in fact there are always some people who will be dazzled by love. So in order to ensure the number of dragon descendants , some sinners contribute their bodies and offspring to the ethnic group, which can be regarded as atonement for their sins. "

Li took a breath, "You mean, these people will be forced to——"

"It's even more cruel than that. In order to ensure that the punishment can be implemented smoothly, illusions and other means of mind control are allowed. In a sense, these criminals live worse than slaves." Feleton shrugged. "Compared to the painless Embrace Ceremony that requires both parties to voluntarily conclude a relationship, the behavior of these lizards is like returning to the primitive tribal period. Therefore, it is natural that the Holy Wing Islands cannot defeat the more civilized Natatin."

"The problem is that what you did to the elves is not much better." Xia Fan said coldly.

"Uh... Lord Xia, I said that the action against the World Island has nothing to do with my master..." Feleton's voice suddenly became smaller.

"Okay, where is the confinement room in the cathedral?" He asked directly.

The other party was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Wait, what do you want to do?"

"Of course, see if there is any way to get her out."

Feleton was shocked. It was the first time he saw such a bold person. "This is the capital of Hera, the headquarters of the Hera Church! If you don't care about Taksis, she will definitely not die, but if you intervene, no one will escape death! By the way, saving my master is much easier than attacking the church. Don't you consider my suggestion? If it is just to save people who have been corrupted by evil spirits, my master can also help you achieve your wish."
