Faceless One
Chapter 228:Faceless One
The old woman took back the short sword, put the needle to the ground, took the medicine bottle and wiped it on her body, and handed it back to the priest.○
"Well done," nodded Pey, "and drag him out and dispose of it."
"Yes," she answered hoarsely, dragging the body without any difficulty, not at all like an old man.
“Sir, do you believe what he said?”When the stewards were gone, the Shatas God asked, "Was the caravan mixed with the witch, or was it due to the appointment of the lord of the border town - if I remember correctly, that lord was not the four princes, Roland Wimbledon?"
"Is it really necessary to send someone to check to know," said Paily with a serious face, "but I think that he is unlikely to lie, as long as he looks at the wall, he can notice the movement of the fugitives."If he wants to make up a lie in exchange for holy medicine, at least one is more difficult to verify.”
“I’ll send someone to review right away,” the priest said.
"Go, find out what news to me immediately."
Fei Li slowly went to the table and sat down and played with the holy medicine in his hand.These refugees are already in his pocket, in order to control their movements and avoid their own escape, after the epidemic spread, he instructed the dream water to send rats into the refugees to spread the news that the church was about to come to save them.As long as they endure for a few days, they will not only receive the salvation of the gods, but they may also be accepted by the church and become part of the king of the gray castle.As for the latent mice, most of them are patients infected with the evil epidemic, in exchange for the Holy Spirit medicine, they will certainly spare no effort to do their own work.
If the rat's information is correct, this group of people has been transporting fugitives since at least yesterday, and according to this situation, it seems that not all of them will be removed, which is a serious obstacle to their own plans.More seriously, they also mingled with the witches—and Peyier believed that the one who could cure the evil must also be witches.
"My lord, the body has been disposed of."The old woman walked lightly into the secret room, "Has the fallen appeared again?"
"Ten is," said the ferley, "and there may be more than one."He paused, "There are no outsiders here, there is no need to dress up as this ugly, it's disgusting to look at."
“Yes.”
She bent down, then crackled and crackled all over her body, as if the whole body were rubbing, the body was growing rapidly, the white hair turned black in the blink of an eye, and the wrinkled and loose skin gradually tightened, and became tense and elastic again - time seemed to flow back on her, and when she re-stretched her body, she had become a beautiful woman.
"This is much better," said Pley, smiling with satisfaction, "I remember this man as the one who was hanged in the gate?"
"Yes, my lord," she nodded, "of the four of them you spent most of her time."
"You really . . . know how to please me," cried the priest, "but Shatas reckons he will be back soon, and there's not enough time."He put down the fire of his heart, "and the fallen need you to deal with it - as in the past."
"Leave it to me, my lord," said the other, "and I will not let go of any fallen witch."
About a quarter of an hour later, Shatas returned to the secret room.He first looked at the witch, and then reported to the ceremony: "Adult, there are indeed many shadows in the escape from the west gate, I am afraid that it is not clear in the dark, and let the torches under the ring, many tents have been empty."However, there is no light in the dock area, and it is not clear whether the carnage is still stationed in the same place, as for the witch..."
"No need to check," said Feely, "since the other side dares to take away the sick fugitive, the mouse's intelligence should not go wrong."In this way, the group has at least two witches, one in the air to monitor the situation, and one person can eliminate the evil epidemic.The latter, in particular, is a great threat to my plans and must be stopped.”Now the other side is still pulling people outside the city, and if they bring witches into the city and openly treat those infected people, the Holy Spirit potion they have promoted becomes a joke!
“What shall we do?”The priest asked, “Send the trial army to arrest the witch?”
He shook his head, "This is the king's capital, not the holy city of Helmes, the church has only more than twenty judges, sent them out, who will maintain order when the medicine is issued tomorrow?"And if the number is too small, it will have no effect except to beat the grass and the snake, and even if the mercenaries can be defeated, the witch will probably run away."Precisely because in the royal capital, the judgment army responsible for guarding the church was only maintained on the size of dozens of people, otherwise it would be stationed in a force of hundreds of people, I am afraid that the king would not be able to sleep.
“Then... write to the Holy City and ask the bishop to send reinforcements to do it again?”
“When the trial army comes, I am afraid that the fugitives will be gone.”The priest sneered, "And against a group of mercenaries, there is no need to go out of the army, but leave this matter to the dream water."
“Leave it to the rats?”Shatas nodded.
"At least they are so numerous that they can surround the dock in advance and get up again and again.How many rats do you think a mercenary with a wooden gun can handle without armor?"He asked.
"About two or three people."
"So they can only cope with a maximum of two hundred people, and there are more than a thousand thugs who can gather under the dream sailors."Of course, these brave scum may not be worth a formation of the trial army squad, but it is more than enough to crush the group of mercenaries who have no armor.”Fey stood up, "Bring my words to Tanis, give him a day to assemble the hand, the more the better, and start tomorrow evening."Do not reveal that there are other ways to cure the evil, and do not say that it is to deal with witches, just tell him not to let a person escape.The reward is a whole box of Holy Spirit medicine, and if he wants to get rid of or obsess over, tell him that the next poppy and the sleep fern don't want to get it from me."
“But the witch... what?”Especially the one that can fly in the air.”
“She won’t fly all the time, and the rats can’t end the fight in a short time, or ... they’re acting more to attract each other’s attention,” said Pey, walking up to the witch and touching her face.
By touching it, you can completely disguise yourself or others as another person, and not only the appearance, but also the body and the sound can be perfectly replaced, and the stone of divine punishment cannot be lifted after it takes effect, which is impeccable as an assassin.It was for this reason that she became one of the few witches left in the church and specially cultivated.
“When the other side realizes that there can be no victory, there is bound to be chaos in the camp, and the faceless can guarantee that no witch will survive.”The priest laughed.(Unfinished.)
