Chapter 185 Suspicious Existence
Two days later, a group of 'black robes' came to Mozwa City.
These people wearing black robes, with their faces covered, and only one pair of eyes exposed, look quite mysterious, and they are also the priests and priests who belong to the lacquer night palace of the twelve palaces of the church, the necromancer sequence. exist.
Life and death are two ends of the journey of life, reflecting and opposing each other, and in the thousand years after the end of the Quicksilver Dynasty, many necromantic sequences have also become part of the church.
However, in the eyes of many outsiders, this group of people is still mysterious, and they seldom make public appearances. Because of the sequence they are repairing, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, most of them will not reveal their true colors when performing official duties.
As for normal times, they usually serve as the cemetery guardians or the church's night watchers, patrolling the surrounding territories to prevent evil necromancers from interfering with the peace of the deceased and using special necromantic spells to do evil.
Of course, sometimes they also serve as surgeons, or work related to dissection, but such a scene does not look beautiful, so it is often feared by people.
————————
After the war, the city was still under martial law, and patrols were often seen on the streets, and some special locations were also sealed and partitioned to restrict access. There are still a lot of gravel and debris on the ground, but fortunately, people can generally leave now.
In the refugee resettlement site, many of the original residents who were originally worried have gradually calmed down after spending the past two days together. Although Crancia's army strictly managed them, fortunately nothing out of the ordinary happened, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
You must know that in history and memory, after many cities have been breached, there will always be appalling burning, looting, and rape incidents, and this is what they are most worried about and panic about.
In a temporary tent within the settlement site.
"Huh, I didn't expect this group of people to be really disciplined. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have never believed it when they told me this before." An old man who had just returned to the tent said to his companions.
"Yeah, I said you don't have to be suspicious every day, calm down, have a good rest, and think about how to live after the war." Another man in his early thirties in the tent was lying on the blanket, resting his hands on his head. back.
"In my opinion, if Crancia goes on like this, many people in the lower classes will soon forget about the alliance between Ruerna and Frost. After all, it was the masters who enjoyed the blessing at that time. No matter how good the development of the country, Our lives won't change much."
"And now, as long as Crancia is a little more fair and less harsh to keep people alive, I don't think the people who are begging for food on the docks and alley corners don't really care who runs the country."
"Anyway, it's all about the big men. What does it have to do with us lower-class people, hehe." He smiled slightly self-deprecatingly. Compared with those young people in their early 20s, this one can be regarded as an old fritter who has been beaten up.
"Alas..." After listening to the old man on the side, he could only silently agree.
Compared to the man next to him, he was doing fairly well. He was a businessman with a well-to-do family. He traveled between Mozwa and the surrounding towns. He was considered to be in the middle class of society.
In the kingdom of alchemists and mages, people like him are out of reach for upwards, but if they are downwards, they disdain to live with those vulgar people. After all, food, clothing and life are not bad.
Now that the city is broken, the Frost and Frost Union has almost collapsed, and many of his family and property have also been lost in the war, and the interpersonal network that was established before is expected to be completely torn down. It's not easy.
Therefore, compared to these people who originally had nothing, he was even more frightened and lost.
"I don't know what else I can do at my age." He touched the top of his head in disappointment, and the hair under the hat was already thinning.
"Big brother, you're not bad, at least your daughter is still alive, isn't it? Today, I specially let you meet each other at the female placement site next door."
Thinking back to his lovely ten-year-old daughter, the old man's heart softened again, yes, he still has to support this family, at least he has to see his daughter marry happily, so that he can be complete.
After gradually calming down, he also calmed down a little and sat in the tent.
"You said, what will they do or arrange for us?" The old man passed through the gap in the tent curtain and looked at the soldier standing upright in the distance.
"There is really nothing to say about losing to such an enemy." Now he has to admit that these soldiers with firm will and discipline are respectable and terrifying opponents.
"Who knows, maybe we will be organized to work first, and then redeem ourselves? It is said that there are no slaves in Crancia. As long as you do not commit a crime, you will not be imprisoned to restrict your freedom."
"In that case, we have to live a hard time." The old man also agreed, but he had seen those master masters who "don't eat the fireworks of the world", and they called people to do whatever they wanted.
A person in the middle class of society like him is a relatively sober kind, because he can see the luxury and prosperity of the upper class, and can also experience the hardships and sorrows of the surrounding lower class.
The only regret is that he also clearly realized that it is difficult for him to reach the upper floors, and slipping to the lower floors will be even more frightening. After all, he has seen those beautiful and comfortable lives, and it is even more difficult to accept such a drastic drop.
Thinking like this, he also gradually felt sleepy for a while, and entered into a nap for the lunch break.
"Hey, wake up!" After a long time, a pushing voice came from beside him.
The old man opened his eyes a little vaguely, and only woke up after a few seconds.
.
"What happened?" he asked involuntarily.
"Shh, be quiet, come and have a look."
The man in his 30s crouched at the tent curtain and looked at the people in black robes who passed by. And the old man also came over slowly, crouched down with difficulty, and looked outside.
"These are...?" He had some questions, and even a well-informed businessman felt strange and curious at this time.
"I don't know, but I just heard the officer's order to let the soldiers in our resettlement site cooperate with the actions of these black-robed people. It seems to be searching and looking for something."
"Ah, they're here." A black-robed man with a mask and a face hidden in a hood came over.
Maybe they were talking a little loudly, or maybe they wanted to warn these people who guessed wildly. When the black-robed extraordinary person approached, a cold and biting feeling brushed the surface of the body, making people unconscious. Got goosebumps.
The silver-gray pupils under the hood, with just a slight flick, seemed to see through his body, mind and soul, making the man in his thirties stunned and slumped on the ground until the other party walked away for a long time. , and gradually recovered.
"Hu-hu-" He pressed his heart beating violently, and the scene in his mind simply lingered.
And the other side of the placement point.
"Oh, Zachley, you're scaring others again, that's how the reputation of our Necromancer sequence has gone bad." A woman also dressed in black said to her companion. Her plump figure, even if she was tightly wrapped, revealed a bit of charm.
"It's not in the Judgment Division now. Come on, look softer, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a girlfriend." The woman communicated with her companions in an encrypted voice, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were just walking around In the resettlement site, search one by one.
"I don't have to worry about Cecina-senpai in my life, and if I can, I don't mind if she is my lover."
"Yeah, it's a sharp counterattack, as expected of a frightening torture officer. If we get married, will you torture me every day?"
This woman still did not forget to say the words that made people think, fortunately, these words would not be noticed by others, otherwise their mysterious and cold image in black robes would be broken immediately.
After receiving the Pope's order, Qi Ye Palace sent a lot of necromancers to come, and even the Judgment Department sent its subordinates, because according to the information, they found that there are also many "backlighters" in the Frost Union. 'A trail of activity.
And these two people are the team from the Judgment Division. Their task is not only to search the underground and surrounding areas of the city, to find the hidden hiding places of those mages, but also to find the traces of the activities of the "backlighters". Therefore, these people are more inclined to resettlement places for refugees with more people, instead of manipulating ghosts to penetrate the layers of the earth and search for the vast underground space like other necromancers.
While walking, the cold-eyed necromancer suddenly stopped, and his companions quickly reacted.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that there are really big fish." The woman who was just out of line also looked serious.
In front of the two, that is, in a tent in a corner of the placement site, a low prayer sound came, followed by a strange slightly twisted feeling.
However, the two of them did not start immediately, and continued to move forward as usual after a few seconds of pause, but this time they were much more silent and cautious. Not only do they have to arrest this person, but they also need to search in advance to see if there are any accomplices who have slipped through the net, so as not to lose one of them.
At night, the man who was frightened during the day is now sleeping in the tent, and it seems that he has slowly recovered from the shock. And the old man beside him was sleepless. At this time, I had to sit up and look at the snoring roommate melancholy.
Suddenly, there was a burst of infiltrating shouts outside, and then stopped abruptly, followed by the rapid footsteps of the soldiers and the collision of armor.
He couldn't help getting up carefully, gently opened the gap in the tent, and observed the situation outside.
On the spacious road illuminated by the firelight, several people who were struggling were being firmly bound and held by the soldiers, and they were escorted to the outside. As he passed by, a few fallen leaves on the ground rolled up, twirled in the air, and then fell, a familiar coldness hit his body.
A man in black robe tapped one of the bound people, his fingertips landed on his forehead, and then the man suddenly passed out and stopped struggling, which made it much quieter.
Looking at this incredible scene, the old man slowly remembered that rare extraordinary sequence, focusing on the undead sequence of corpses, bones, and souls.
He covered his mouth in fear, stepped back slowly, and then slumped on the carpet in the tent, only then did he dare to breathe a little louder.
————
Under the search of these black-robed necromancers, many hidden existences were discovered, some of them were mages hiding in the depths of the cellar, some were 'backlighters' who concealed their actions, some were the treasures of some rich people hidden in the cellars at home, and some were thieves shrinking There are even some underground entertainment venues that were once invisible.
These discoveries greatly exceeded the previous official assumptions. Originally, they were about to find the enemy's big man and a large secret space. They didn't want to but they were unexpected gains.
In this regard, they had to increase their efforts and continue to clean up the dark and filthy parts of the city, and also imagined whether the several cities they occupied before would also do the same.
Inside the engraved tower,
Loren Hill sat at the large table, looking at the thick documents in front of him, which were all recent reports of various discoveries.
Looking at the dense handwriting and description, even this conscientious girl felt a little tired.
She shook her head slightly to clear her head, and then wondered whether she could use other powers to assist her work. When she thought about it, she unconsciously awakened the system in her mind.
Can you help me analyze these reports? She meditated in her heart, and then looked forward.
[In language analysis, basic inferences can be made by relying on keywords and logical chains, but the results cannot be guaranteed to be completely correct, and the host still needs to detect by themselves. ]
Huh, that's pretty good too. The girl's heart was slightly excited, and she blinked. The paper pages in front of her were suddenly blown up by the wind, and floated into the air like a goddess scattered flowers. Then they were straightened by the wind and spread out neatly one by one, forming a plane full of paper pages.
Immediately afterwards, a line of this plane flew in front of the girl's line of sight, like a locomotive, with a long trail behind her, rolling in front of her, and the contents of the pages were also captured by the system in the girl's mind. Quick record.
After more than ten seconds, all the pages went through like this, and then the mechanical sound also came.
[System analysis, please wait...]
[Analysis is completed, modeling begins]
After that, a light blue transparent three-dimensional model appeared in Roland Hill's field of vision. Of course, in the eyes of others, there was still nothing in front of her.
This transparent model accurately constructed the various areas and buildings of Mozwa, and the previously discovered reports were presented in it as red dots and displayed.
Looking at this complicated and clear model, Roland Hill once again appreciated the convenience of the system, and then began to search for the connection between the events.
After a period of testing and investigation, she gradually discovered a slightly suspicious location, which was on the southern edge of the city. Surprisingly, it was blank, without any red spots, and there were few refugees around. The presence.
Looks like it's worth checking out here. She meditated in her heart, then looked at the model, the abandoned building in the center of the area.
That cafe is out of tune with its surroundings.
