The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"No, in fact, they are not the only enemy here. Cardinal Della Rovere is the enemy of the Poggia family, but he has a lot of power in the Vatican. He can't be said to be our ally, but he is counted as an ally. Last collaborator."

The sky was thick as asphalt, and the cold wind blowing across the street was mixed with unpleasant sultry heat. There is no doubt that the rain last night was only the beginning, and there will be another heavy rain. These days Zelin contacted Bartolomeo through Ezio, he is the leader of the mercenaries here, and the demon hunter hopes to buy the artillery design drawings from him. It is impossible for him to bring a cannon back through the portal. Let’s not say whether Zelin can drive such a heavy piece of iron. It is estimated that as long as he enters the portal, the chaotic energy will focus on the superfluous things. As for the chaotic energy, the chaotic energy is abnormal. Zelin didn't know what the consequences would be, and he didn't want to try.

And he found something like a sealed letter in the lair of the followers of Romulus, with many words that the demon hunters didn’t recognize. Considering the supporters behind the followers of Romulus, Zelin Handing these rolled up secret letters to Ezio, after all, it is meaningless to stay in Zelin's hands. Putting them in the hands of the Brotherhood might play a better role.

"Bishop Galsworthy is one of the bishops who accepted Caesar's gold. Cardinal Della Rowere is very happy that the Brotherhood can help him to eliminate an opponent. He told us that the Bishop of Galsworthy is participating in a church today. Pray collectively."

"Of course, the assassination of him was only an action by the assassins, and had nothing to do with the cardinal."

"Yes, the cardinal doesn't know why the assassins are looking for Bishop Galsworthy. In fact, he doesn't know what the Brotherhood is, that's it."

"Very good."

It was a relatively remote church. It was said to be remote. It was just because the church was near a ruin and there were some abandoned houses around. Maybe the residents here could not continue to endure the life in Rome and chose to leave the city. However, compared with the ruined ruins and residential areas around, the renovated church is extra conspicuous.

A relatively complete ruin of successive churches is undergoing heavy repair work. Because of the weather, Zelin can only see workers coming in and out. No workers are still repairing cracks and painting the walls. But looking at its embryonic form, this place has been damaged. The restored ruins will also become a new church.

During this period of time, the Brotherhood seized part of the city in Rome and further compressed the power of the Pochia family. This seemed to arouse the alarm of the Pochia family. There were more and more soldiers on the streets, and La Bolpe had already I don't know how many times I have to go outside to rescue the thieves' guild members who have been caught. There is also Caesar's alliance, the French, who have attacked Bartolomeo's mercenary camp more than once. In short, although the situation in the Brotherhood has improved a bit, the situation in Rome as a whole has gone from bad to worse.

"I can't get in here."

Bishop Gallsworthy should be in the church, standing far away from the church gate. He could see many priests walking inside, and their target should have already been inside. There are many soldiers from the Pokiah family patrolling around, and there are also four soldiers as guards at the door. Obviously, only priests who are not hostile to the Pokiah family can enter the church.

"I should go to the ruin that is still being rebuilt on the side. Since they will rebuild on the side of the church, there is likely to be a connecting passage between the two places."

However, before entering, Zelin believed that he should check around. Recently, he has not heard any news from Romulus believers. He does not think that Bishop Galsworthy or Pokia behind him The family will abandon the tools to create fear in the dark because of the blow.

The traces here are very confusing. The traces of the leather boots of Romulus and the cloth shoes of ordinary Roman citizens on the ground can easily become indistinguishable after a period of time. The demon hunters circled around, especially behind the church and near the ruins. If the Romulus believers wanted to contact their masters, they would certainly not walk openly on the streets.

It's windy.

The dust rolled up in the air will quickly erase all traces. The cratered stone slabs nearby are not to mention any tracking search at all. He is good at tracking monsters, but tracking humans is not the strength of the demon hunter, but it benefits from Romulus believers have strange dresses. If they don't necessarily have to transform their leather boots to look like wolf feet, it may take a lot of effort for the demon hunter to follow them.

In the end, he found a wolf paw print that should have been left by a Romulus in a corner near the ruins. These marks were densely piled together. Zelin knelt down, looking at these footprints, in his mind. Can imagine the scene at that time. Those cultists, they must be waiting for something, but the Romulus believers are impatient. They paced back and forth, kept walking up and down, stepping the weeds under their feet into the soil until they saw that they had to wait. Afterwards, his footprints stretched into the trimmed ruins and disappeared on the stone slab.

To be sure, this was definitely not left by the coyote. The wild wolf would never stay in one place for too long, especially since he hadn't noticed any traces of the wild wolf eating here. Maybe he did find the right target.

The demon hunter raised his head and looked at the sky. The city of Rome was overcast, but who would have thought it was noon at this moment.

"It's Highnoon. It's time."

Chapter 192 A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

The demon hunter had some trouble entering the church.

"Hi! You can't come here!"

Zelin raised his eyebrows and looked at the supervising man who was approaching him in doubt.

But he had already made plans in his heart. Pretend that you just strayed into this place, making yourself look like an ordinary Roman citizen, and his clothes will provide him with a good disguise. It's just a citizen who accidentally walked to the construction site. The demon hunter can be sure that there are soldiers from the Pokya family nearby who are paying attention to this place.

Quiet, calm, like an ordinary Roman citizen, once suspicion arises, who knows what will go wrong.

"Don't you know that the church is being repaired here? It's not that workers are not allowed to enter here!"

Ze Lin moved his gaze downwards, and scanned the decaying church by overseeing the left side of his body. The towering top is about eight meters above the ground. Wooden scaffolding on both sides has almost replaced the walls. Workers put beams on the roof and fixed the wooden boards with ropes so that they can paint higher walls and domes, and clean up cobwebs and dust. . As the supervisor said, there are only people dressed up like workers.

The demon hunter's speculation about this place is correct. There is an iron gate on the left wall, and according to its location, it should be connected to the church where the priests are located.

"I thought this was a church, so come in and have a look."

"Hey! Are you blind or a fool?" The supervisor sipped on the ground and almost threw up on Zelin's boots. "Get out quickly, or I'll let the soldiers come!"

"Okay, okay, I will leave now."

Hearing the footsteps behind him, it was the sound of iron boots stepping on the gravel, and soldiers were approaching here. Zelin couldn't stay here for too long. The news he got was that the target would come to the church next door, but Zelin didn’t have time to entangle with the soldiers of the Pokia family. There were too many soldiers here. Yaxifahin could affect two soldiers at the same time, but it would inevitably let him. The other soldiers were suspicious.

Besides, he didn't know how long the activities in the church would last. Maybe it was just a small prayer, just like the prayer meeting that a demon hunter had seen in the temple of the goddess Meritelli. He really didn't understand that the content of this kind of work was the sacrifice of closing and then opening the eyes, but they said they would communicate with the goddess Meritelli again.

It was impossible for Zelin to ask Goddess Meritelli whether the coins he paid were actually dedicated to the gods when he stayed in the temple.

"But you forgot, I am a worker here."

The Yaxifa Seal is as effective as ever. In a world where there is almost no chaotic energy, Zelin's Yaxifa Seal seems to have not failed.

His finger clicked three times.

"Elvis, I have a headache." A Pokiah soldier behind him suddenly clutched his forehead. "Damn it, this bad weather, if it rains, we should go back to sleep, why patrol this tattered place? ."

"Kizmo, are you okay?" The other soldier didn't seem to be affected in any way, and he asked his colleague strangely. Zelin couldn't count on how much the magic seal would have. He hadn't taken any magic potions of the female warlock for more than a month. He wanted to affect three people at the same time. Without the help of magic potions, he was still a little too reluctant. Warlocks will absorb chaotic energy in the magical place. That is what the magician can do. The magical place is relatively rare, and most of them are under the records of the order. The Demon Hunter had no choice but to use potions mixed with magic power to enhance the effect of the Seal.

After all, before they were called Demon Hunters, they were ordinary children without magic talent.

"I don't know, **** it! My head hurts! I'm going to rest."

"Hey! We're still patrolling! You can't let me do two jobs by myself!"

The two soldiers argued and walked away, but Zelin had already walked to the door. The gate of the iron fence was not locked. Zelin looked at the fence carefully, it was covered with rust, but he could still see that there was a wet handprint on one of the iron fences, and there was an empty wine on the ground that was kicked by the stone. Bottle. Someone once drank beer secretly here, the demon hunter frowned, and there was still a faint smell in the air, the sour smell of rotten fruits.

Behind the fence gate is a corridor without torch lighting, but the passage is not long. The eyes of the demon hunter can see the road in front of him clearly, at least allowing him to distinguish whether the front is flat or stepped.

When he walked out of the tunnel, the huge fur hung in front of him was like a curtain, blocking the exit of the tunnel. The demon hunter picked up the wool cloth on one side, observing the situation in the church in front of him from behind.

The priests in the church were praying. A man dressed in white is preaching something on the high platform in front of the church. He wears a towering white hat and seems to be preaching their doctrine. It's a pity that the priests below are expressionless and sleepy. Although just a few days ago, Zelin often saw these priests in red on the streets of Rome preaching to the Roman citizens, not listening carefully to the doctrine is an act of blasphemy.

The surrounding walls are the same as the decaying church next door, with several scaffolding towers. It seems that the priests are planning to redecorate this fairly complete place, and some prototypes of portrayals have been carved on the surrounding beams and pillars. On both sides of the church, a soldier of the Pokia family was guarded every five steps, and Zelin could only stay behind, waiting for the opportunity.

There was a muffled thunder from outside. The light of lightning flashed across the sky, reflecting the exquisite paintings on the domed glass, and the cross behind the white priest cast a long shadow on the ground, hiding the faces under the round caps of the audience under the darkness. The sound of rain slid across the glass window intermittently, and the raindrops drew down the window. The electric light made the portrait of the figure above transparent, as if the raindrops were not the rain from the sky, but the tears of the characters in the painting.

The demon hunter still made no mistakes. Rather, this prayer meeting was a gathering where the priests came together to chat in a low voice or doze off, and the music that decorated the venue was the narration of the priests in white on the podium. Zelin didn't understand what he was talking about, but he could tell that he was serious. It's a pity that the people below were all silent, silent, and lethargic with their heads down. It didn't take long before it was over. The priests got up one after another, and the three and four formed a small group and talked. The heavy rain outside forced them to stay here temporarily.

With one exception, Zelin quickly recognized him, the man he had seen in the banker’s mansion.

He also wore the clothes of a priest, like the people around him, with a pious look on his face, but he didn't get involved in the exchanges of other priests. Instead, he walked to Zelin's location when the people around him were not paying attention. Another link on the side leads to the upper steps.

Then he heard the sound of conversation on the other side.

Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Three

"I will write down the sermon and put it on the altar for you to use. You must use your emotions to preach to make your speech more convincing."

The guards in the church looked straight ahead, without squinting, and looked conscientious, but in fact, when Zelin slowed down and passed them behind, they did not even disturb their dedication. Behavior. It is not ruled out that it is just because the demon hunters are too light, but Zelin feels that they are just extra work outside of the guard.

"We have recruited a lot of new people to join our business to make up for the lost manpower. Just say the name of Romulus, and followers will unconditionally do what we say, sir, they believe it is their **** who is guiding them. ."

The priests around are still immersed in their own affairs. They did not notice that they were just a door away from them. Their fellow priests were meeting with the cultists in Rome. Perhaps, they knew, they were just pretending to do everything. It's not clear. Just as they would not be surprised by the demon hunters who appeared next to them, Zelin was already ready to influence a priest with the Yaxifah seal to conceal his identity and help him enter the other passage, but It now appears that Zelin's preparations are just superfluous.

The demon hunter's clothes are not robes. Although it can mislead the soldiers' attention in the priest's room, he must leave as soon as possible before arousing the priest's suspicion. Zelin can pretend to be a member of a certain group of priests. This will arouse other people's strangeness, but it will not rise to the point of questioning, but it cannot be used too many times, otherwise sooner or later someone will come to question his identity.
