Chapter 1008 If You Don’t Come, I Won’t Leave
Still underwater, underground passage. ? ..
It has to be said that after a few years, although Jack's strength has not changed by leaps and bounds, his professional skills have not declined and have improved qualitatively.
Now, this difficult magic lock that I wanted to die with a few years ago can now be easily unlocked in just a few minutes with Jack's skillful hands and many auxiliary tools he carries with him.
Of course, this is just the beginning. Although the Temple Association did not expect that Tang En and the others would sneak in through the underground passage, when they built this place many years ago, they must have considered the safety of the water source. Therefore, not only at the entrance of the passage, but also in the subsequent large sections of passages, many magic locks, magic traps, etc. are also set up to ensure the safety here...
Needless to say, in this field, Jack, a professional thief, is naturally more professional, so he is now the vanguard of the three-person team.
And this is actually one of the important reasons why Tang En chose to bring Jack here this time!
Looking at Jack crawling in front, he seemed to be mumbling and cursing nervously. From time to time, he wiped his forehead with cold sweat. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with this dangerous journey, but he had no intention of stopping the work in hand. On the contrary, he continued to take risks to solve problems. Following one after another, there were all kinds of traps and locks that could kill him... Tang En smiled, and for a moment, he felt that he was extremely lucky.
That’s right, it’s just luck!
Although looking at the past few years since Tang En came to the other world, he has been in the dilemma of being hunted most of the time, and he can't really be said to be lucky at all. But if you look at it from another perspective, he is on this strange journey. I met Jack, David, Michu, Philip and other friends and brothers. I also met close friends such as Joshua, Xia Wei'an, and Lansha. Even if he is going to assassinate the Pope now. No matter from which angle you look at it, this is an obvious act of seeking death. There are also friends and brothers who are willing to catch a knife for you and risk their lives with you...
How can such a chance encounter not be called luck?
Well, the above-mentioned pretentious mental activities are just Tang En's old habit of thinking and feeling randomly when taking action...
"Let me see, oh, it's another fire magic lock... No. It also smells of wood magic... Ha, I discovered it, it turns out to be a dual attribute magic lock! Tsk, it's a bit tricky... So Come on, let the great Jack Thief untie you... hmm? For what?"
First, he looked sideways at the palm that patted his shoulder. Then Jack raised his head in surprise and looked inexplicably at Tang En, who looked a little emotional and touched.
"Nothing... Well, thanks brother!"
"...Are you sick?"
…
At this time, above the head, the temple will always be there.
"Your Majesty, the Knights of the Temple have deployed their defenses in place, and the docks on the other side are also being controlled. There will be a trap within a ten-mile radius, and there will never be any mistakes... The elite mage group has just released several waves of detection magic. , and no abnormalities have been found yet..."
"Well, how's it going over there with Xia Wei'an?"
"Having breakfast, everything is fine."
"Okay, you go down first."
"yes."
…
As the messengers running back and forth reported actively, the already relaxed atmosphere in the main meeting hall couldn't help but become more relaxed and relaxed. Sitting at the top of the table, an old bishop with white eyebrows in bright red robes, with a smile on his face, turned to look at the respectful old nobleman on one side, and said with a simple salute: "Excuse me, sir, for taking the trouble to come and tell me." Thank you to the temple for this news.”
"Haha, it should be, it should be." Although the red-robed and white-browed bishop is not the Pope, of course, the Pope is not something anyone can see if they want to, but with the status of the red-clothed archbishop, this aristocratic old man naturally does not Dare to trust him, he quickly returned the greeting and smiled, "The empire has co-existed with the temple since ancient times, and both have prospered. In this way, when it comes to the safety of the Pope, the royal court does not dare to be careless. Of course, we believe that the power of the temple for thousands of years is impossible. A certain treasonous evil heretic can be shaken by his daring behavior. It’s just..."
Seeing that the noble old man hesitated for a moment and seemed hesitant to speak, the white-browed and red-robed bishop smiled softly and calmly spread his hands: "It's just what? Sir, it doesn't matter if you say it."
"So, I'm offended." The old noble man saluted politely, "It's just that in a few days, it will be an important moment for Your Highness to be enthroned and crowned. There is no room for any mistakes, so the royal court... Haha, please forgive me, Lord Bishop. No. We don’t believe in the temple, just because this matter is too important and will inevitably make people feel uneasy. Well, this is what His Royal Highness the First Prince wants to convey to the Pope.”
Speaking of this, Bishop Baimei would not get angry. He nodded with understanding and still smiled lightly and made a promise: "Don't worry, Sir, and please report back to Your Highness for peace of mind. It is said that the heretic named Tang En is also an old person in our temple. You are an opponent, the temple will not look down upon carelessness, and will definitely hold the coronation ceremony successfully without any mistakes."
"That's good. I'll go back and report to His Highness. I won't disturb you anymore."
"Oh? Sir, don't you stay and have breakfast before leaving?"
"I have responsibilities, I have responsibilities, I'll wait for the next opportunity, haha..."
Of course, this is just a scene. Don't look at Xia Wei'an who is drinking delicious chicken soup with a sad face. It is just a special situation. In fact, the real breakfast in the temple is quite boring and dull, and the old nobles who are accustomed to fine clothes and fine food will naturally not be used to it...
After symbolically seeing the old noble off and walking out of the main meeting hall, the white-browed bishop turned around and frowned. After thinking for a while, he waved to the statue-like attendant guard and said in a deep voice: "Take a message to the person in charge of the intelligence department. I don't care what method they use." , we must find out the heretic’s whereabouts as soon as possible. Also, pass Tang En’s intelligence information to the Bounty Hunter Guild, the temple does not raise waste, let them decide what to do!”
"yes!"
…
As mentioned before, when a behemoth brings a single individual into its field of vision, it roars into action, and the strength it unleashes is absolutely astonishing. But no matter how much the red archbishop thought about it, he never thought of the target he was looking for. In fact, it is at his feet now...
"Haha. It worked! The great thief, Uncle Jack, succeeded! Haha——"
The three people underground shuttled back and forth through the underground passage like mice. After finally arriving at a slightly spacious underground space that looked like an air-raid shelter, there was a brief silence, and then triumphant laughter suddenly resounded throughout the surroundings.
This is an underground water source purification place of the Temple Association. Coming here means that they have left traps, locks, etc. behind - magic is mysterious in nature, and in some aspects it means that it is not stable enough. No one can guarantee that its effects will not undergo fundamental changes as time passes. Therefore, at the downstream end of the purified water source, the Temple General Assembly should not set up any more traps...
in other words. That is to say, Jack, who has an explosive personality, relied on his excellent professional skills and some imaginary shit luck to actually eliminate all the traps on this passage route and successfully reach the safe zone!
Of course, there is also a factor in this that the temple has never cared about underground passages. Moreover, the underground passage is the foundation of the island. To be honest, the temple does not dare to make any big moves here. You must know that if one is not careful, the Millennium Temple above will always be blown up to the sky. But it has to be said that based on this record alone, if word spreads. Jack should also have a place in the world of thieves!
He roared heartbreakingly, "Am I a cow? Dunn, Owens. Tell me loudly, I am a cow! No! A cow--"
"Okay, okay, you're awesome, you're awesome! You little heifer somersaults, it's so awesome!"
"Haha, this flattery sounds good, here's another one!"
"roll!"
After forcefully suppressing Jack who was so happy that he didn't know where the north, south, east, and west were, Tang En rolled his eyes, took out an oilcloth map from his arms, looked at it, and called Owens to make a designation: "We should be in this perimeter now. area, and if you climb a little further forward, you will officially enter the hinterland of the island. According to the information provided by Philip, Xia Wei'an should be detained here now. Owens, you are familiar with the general structure of the Temple Association..."
Before he finished speaking, "Don't worry, leave Xia Wei'an to me." Owens nodded decisively and looked at Tang En with piercing eyes, "As soon as you make a move, I will rescue her from the island!"
"Okay!" Tang En didn't waste any words. He turned his head and looked at Jack again, who had calmed down his excitement a little. The latter nodded in understanding, stood up and took off his outer layer of night clothes, and untied the dark oilcloth-like thing wrapped around his waist layer by layer... This was a super-era design proposed by Tang En and Phillip secretly found someone to build it. The product is the weapon for this operation and the key to their ability to successfully leave the island after it is completed!
...Well, to put it bluntly, it is just a shriveled skin bag that has not yet been inflated.
After inflating, it becomes a small kayak that can travel smoothly on the water.
What? You ask how to inflate here? Of course it's... uh, artificial air blowing!
There is no doubt that this is a huge project just by imagining it. Tang En patted Jack's shoulder with a solemn look on his face: "Xia Wei'an is a pregnant woman and should not touch cold water... Well, I'll leave it to you!"
Jack looked at the unfolded skin bag, which was about one foot long and wide, with a grimace. He swallowed, took a deep breath, and nodded bitterly: "Don't worry, as long as I still have breath, it will have breath!"
"Then - let's take action! Let's go!"
"Wait a minute!" Jack grabbed Tang En's shoulders as he turned around quickly. The latter looked back in surprise, "What's wrong?"
After a pause, Jack opened his mouth, then opened his mouth again, finally exhaled, shrugged and said relaxedly: "I will wait for your kid to come back... If you don't come, I won't leave!"
Just now, Tang En told Owens and Jack, but he did not say what he was going to do. Of course, there is no need to say this. Compared to Twain's goal, both Jack and Owens knew very well that the dangerous behavior they were going to do next was completely incomparable to Twain.
That is a dead end, once you step on it, there is no possibility of turning back!
Looking at Jack who was hesitant to speak because he was probably afraid of his crow's mouth, Tang En smiled. He didn't say anything or make the promise that the other party wanted to hear. He just squeezed Jack's shoulders again, nodded easily, turned around, and accelerated. , instantly disappeared into a seemingly endless dark waterway...
