Why do you want to call me

Damn the Holy See.

"咚咚-"

There was a knock on the door, the man said nothing, and then the door was gently pushed open.

It was his cronies who walked in.

"Sir, the higher ups have asked us to search the entire city, and then..."

"Then the ghetto side is your responsibility."

After the man heard this, his face became more gloomy, and he said in a low tone.

"anything else?"

"Sir, according to the Emperor's instructions, the city will enter a state of lockdown today."

"No one is allowed in or out."

"But it will open an opening in private, so that those cultists will not jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Cause huge losses to the imperial capital."

"However, after those cultists go out, there will be someone to hunt them down."

"Your task is to assist him."

Chapter 78 I see you

imperial capital.

There is a tense and serious atmosphere in the city, as if something big happened suddenly.

It is now noon.

The bustling street should be full of noisy voices, but it should also be a bustling crowd from a distance.

And from time to time, the bell of the carriage rang, accompanied by the coachman's yelling.

But in fact, the street at this moment is unusually empty and looks a bit lonely.

Only a few figures passed by the empty shop.

They looked worried, and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

His footsteps were in a hurry, and he didn't dare to stay too much on the street.

The yellowed dead leaves of the sycamore trees fell, covering the entire road, but no one came to clean it up.

In the silent street, the only sound is the rustling of shoes soles stepping on dead leaves.

The citizens of the imperial capital couldn't imagine it anyway.

The most prosperous imperial capital...

The city is actually closed!

The sudden news caught everyone by surprise.

They were stunned at the crossroads listening to the announcement of the administrative staff.

People on one side of the empire did not give a detailed explanation, but vaguely told everyone that all this was the order of the emperor.

They are just following orders.

The order was issued from that majestic palace that day.

Then these administrative staff, large and small, executed the order with lightning speed.

It is hard to imagine how these ministers who have always been procrastinating in office efficiency broke out at such a speed.

The citizens couldn't believe it at first, but after repeated confirmation from some people, the heavy gate of the imperial capital slowly closed before their eyes.

These people finally believed.

Immediately afterwards, there was an uncontrollable panic in the crowd.

They couldn't figure out why the imperial capital blocked the whole city.

And in this panic atmosphere, some people even rumored that the enemy country was attacking, that's why the gates of the city were closed.

This statement is actually believed to be true.

As one of the largest cities, its importance naturally goes without saying.

Other than the slums, the safety of other large areas can be regarded as stable and orderly, and there are very few disturbances.

But today, it is blocked.

However, these people were quickly taken away, and they were never seen again.

The gate of the imperial capital.

Some nobles let go of their domineering attitude in the past, and with decent smiles, they chatted cordially with the non-commissioned officers guarding the city.

They all want to get out of town.

Someone has vaguely heard the news that there will be big moves in the city.

So I want to go out of the city temporarily to avoid the limelight.

Facing the nobleman's request, the non-commissioned officer showed embarrassment.

Because the chief gave a death order, even a fly was not allowed to be released.

After being rejected, some nobles darkened on the spot.

But at this moment, the non-commissioned officer is holding the emperor's order, so it's not easy to explode on the spot, so he can only leave angrily.

And all this was seen by the figure hiding in the dark.

"My lord priest, the imperial capital has been sealed off."

"Now the city gate is closed."

"What should we do?"

A thin man asked the elders in the crowd.

The priest glanced at the tall city wall, although there were spots of blue spots on it, but it was in front of the unreasonable mysterious power.

After thousands of years, the city wall that has been exposed to wind and sun is still standing.

Standing horizontally in front of them, it seems to be an insurmountable mountain.

"Go and see where we came from."

The priest frowned.

Seeing that he had no hope of capturing the person whom the gods were looking at, he planned to leave the imperial capital first.

As a result, on the eve of leaving, the imperial capital was directly blocked.

This made a group of people feel a little aggrieved.

……

When they arrived at the entrance to the imperial capital, they found that the place where they were guided was empty.

No, there are still people.

But they were all burly figures in armor.

The priest squinted his eyes, looked at these soldiers walking back and forth, and led a group of people to leave here quietly.

Then I went to a few places and found that they were all empty.

When they reached the fourth place, they finally saw the shadows of some stowaways.

"Master Priest!"

"Look at..."

The skinny man was excitedly calling out to the priest, but before the voice could travel far, his mouth was restrained by a force.

"Uuuuuu-"

The priest ignored the man who tried to speak.

He stared at it carefully. As a criminal, years of escape experience made him feel that something was absolutely wrong here.

Other places are empty, only here.

Although people do behave irrationally when they are nervous, ignoring everything around them.

But is this treating us like pure cerebral palsy?

The priest suspected that when the assassin went out, he was facing a whole row of armed paladins.

The time of confinement has passed, and the man knew that the priest didn't want him to speak, so he could only look there with longing in his eyes.

"Go ahead and change places."

The priest gave up here and turned to go to other places.

The group went round and round and encountered several smuggling points on the way, but they didn't go directly because the priest was cautious.

They hid in the dark and observed quietly, and some of them also hid in the dark.

It seems that they don't believe in the smuggling point here.

"My lord priest..."

There was a trace of complaint in the man's eyes.

Seeing that there were so many smugglers who refused to go, he felt a little anxious.

In case of being taken away at any time, wouldn't he have to be trapped in the city all the time.

The priest glanced at the man's body, which was about to move, and imprisoned him again.

This sect is full of well-known criminals. Needless to say, the degree of ferocity is not too much, but the brain is indeed flawed.

If the head is really smart and knows how to clean up traces, it will not appear on the list.

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the empire has made a real move.

Need to be extremely careful.

"Go back first."

The priest finally thought that these were the traps of the empire, and it was difficult to get out after jumping in.

So they went back to their temporary residence first.

……

"There are quite a lot of people, but there are no big fish."

A non-commissioned officer looked at the smuggled figures outside the city, and said a little bored.

"Your trap is too fake."

A non-commissioned officer next to him joked, laughing and looking down at the sneaking figures.

"Is it fake?"

The non-commissioned officer seemed a little unconvinced. Originally, there was only one exit, but after repeated discussions, several more came out.

"Isn't it fake?"

The person next to him opened his eyes wide, revealing a bit of disbelief.

"If you tell lies again, I'll beat you up."

The sergeant sneered, turned up his sleeves, and then exposed his sandbag-sized fists.

"How do you want to make gestures?"

Not to be outdone, the man immediately loosened a few buttons, then turned his head with a militant smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, if you want to fight, go and finish the task first."

The voice of the third person came from behind.
