Chapter 1494: Surfaced

Looking at the residents who were about to leave Gust with their bags in the distance, Angel whispered, "Aren't you going to stop them?"

"Personal choices require you to bear the consequences yourself." Alex said coldly.

"If you don't stop it, it will cause more casualties. If the residents of Gust find out, the situation may get out of control." Angel said.

Angel could even imagine that if all the people died, the residents might also speculate that leaving Gust was the cause of their death. At that time, panic spread and fear boiled. No one could predict what the consequences would be after everyone knew that they were birds in a cage.

"Tear off the calm disguise, and perhaps you can see the turbulent waves under the whitewash."

Angel was sure that Alex must know what the consequences would be, but he remained indifferent. Under his calm and non-competitive mood, he actually hid his restless heart.

"Only when there is a crack in the illusion can the cage see the exit." Alex whispered.

Angel didn't reply, but continued to look at the people leaving in the distance. Suddenly, Angel raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you want to tear off the disguise of calmness, but it's not possible at the moment." Alex looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a team of knights on horses stopping the people leaving. I don't know what they said, but those who left eventually chose to return the same way. "If it's not a coincidence, then the hands hidden in the darkness are still trying to whitewash the peace." Alex smiled: "Although there is no result I want to see, it is also a variable." After speaking, Alex turned and left the watchtower, wearing a neat and regular robe, and walked out of the church. After leaving the church, he greeted the residents in fear with a smile along the way, and comforted everyone with the teachings of the divine canon. No one could imagine that not long ago, this person almost wanted to push the residents of the entire Gust Town into the abyss of darkness. Alex walked along the main road and came to the patrol station of the Knight Guard. With a friendly smile, he walked up and talked to people. The person he was talking to was the knight who intercepted the group of people leaving.

After a while, Alex smiled and left.

Walking to a deserted place, Alex put away his smile and returned to his expressionless look.

"After asking, it was indeed someone who ordered them to intercept. The reason used was that a pack of wolves was found on the way to the Holy City, and the missing body of Knight Raven was most likely eaten by the pack of wolves." Alex paused, his eyes sneered: "A pack of wolves? Maybe there really is a pack of wolves, but whether it is really a wolf, that's hard to say."

Angel's figure emerged from the darkness: "Then did you ask who ordered it?"

Alex: "The news of the pack of wolves was given to the Knight Guard by the sheriff. However, I don't think the sheriff would be the one who wants to whitewash the situation."

Angel once sneaked into the sheriff's house in Gust Town to determine the location information, so he still has some understanding of the sheriff. In Angel's opinion, the sheriff is a somewhat self-righteous and arrogant person, but he has not made any big mistakes towards the residents of the town. In terms of his position, he is barely qualified.

But if he is to equate him with the dark hand, Angel does not believe it.

"If it is not the sheriff who did it, then who did it?"

"With the sheriff's arrogant and arrogant character, it is difficult for him to listen to the opinions of his subordinates. There are only two people who can influence his decision. One is the real lord of Gust Town, Viscount Bega. The other is...Father Berlanlang." Alex lowered his eyebrows: "I just asked, Viscount Bega did not leave the mansion today. On the contrary, Father Berlanlang left early in the morning and went to see the sheriff."

In other words, Father Berlanlang was the source of preventing this group of people from leaving.

Angel recalled Father Berlanlang. To be honest, compared with Alex's powerful aura, Berlanlang was as weak as a firefly and had no sense of existence.

But as things progressed, this person's presence began to soar.

Almost all the people in Gust Town were ignorant, but Father Berlenlang seemed to have seen through something.

"I still don't think Father Berlenlang is a manipulator of the undead." On the way back to the church, Alex suddenly said.

Angel was noncommittal: "Whether he is a manipulator of the undead is another matter, but his desire to whitewash the truth is obvious."

According to this logic, the thing that Father Berlenlang is most committed to, in addition to whitewashing the truth, should be brainwashing Alex. Then, Alex may really be closely related to the cage. If the cage is regarded as a prison, other people are not important. The only person this prison really wants to imprison may be Alex.

Thinking of this, Angel found it more and more interesting.

I was just testing the effect of the door, but I didn't expect to witness such an interesting scene.

Originally, Angel planned to return to the Black Castle if he couldn't find the location information. With the ability of wizards, there is always a way to locate it. At worst, there is still Dodolo.

However, because of the dramatic scenes, Angel suddenly wanted to see the final outcome.

Alex returned to the Kruja Church with a solemn look. The church was brightly lit, and Father Burrenlang stood in front of the statue of the Father, telling about suffering, redemption and hope in a compassionate tone.

Regardless of whether they believed it or not, everyone was silently reciting the sacred scriptures along with Father Bolan Long.

Alex did not immediately go to Father Bronlen to ask, but quietly watched the scene in front of him. He did not recite the sacred scriptures, nor showed any pity. He had the same expression as the statue of God the Father in the church. One after another, like real gods, staring at all living beings without emotion.

The waiting process is not peaceful.

Alex heard someone running hastily on the street outside the church. Angel went out to take a look, but someone died again.

Moreover, the people who died this time were not ordinary.

With a bang, the sweating Sheriff opened the church door. In the panic eyes of the believers, the Sheriff didn't say anything. He walked quickly to Father Brunlon and said something in his ear. .

Father Brenlang's pupils shrank suddenly, and after a while, his lips turned white and he nodded gently to the sheriff, and then said to the believers: "Due to some things, I need to leave temporarily. You can continue to recite the sacred scriptures in the church. I Believe that under the gaze of Father God, all darkness will be dispelled.”

Bollen Lang said this, but the believers were not calm. The panic on their expressions and the fear in their eyes all showed their inner uneasiness.

Bolenlang didn't explain, sighed, and quickly followed the sheriff away.

When passing Alex, Alex whispered: "I'm going too."

Brown Lang turned to look at Alex, looking at his eyes that were completely different from before, and finally nodded: "Come on."

…

This death case made the Sheriff sweat profusely with anxiety.

But it was because the people who died were the wife of the lord, Viscount Bega, and his pair of children.

When they arrived at Viscount Bega's residence, the place was already in a mess. Viscount Bega knelt in front of the statue of his ancestors in the courtyard, hugging three heads with his hands, muttering absentmindedly and painfully to himself.

The housekeeper sadly told them that because of a series of horrific murders in the town, Viscount Bega rested in his secret room last night and slept until noon. When he came out of the secret room, he found that the entire mansion was almost dead.

Only then did Alex learn that, except for Viscount Bega, a total of eighteen lives had come to an end, including the maids. As for the housekeeper, because of the murder case, he happened to go to the town to settle down with his parents last night and escaped this disaster.

When he found out that there were as many as eighteen dead people, the Sheriff was completely confused. This was not just a matter of human life, but the dead people were also relatives of the Viscount!

While the Sheriff was worried about his future, Father Brunlon's lips turned white and his hands and feet were trembling.

"Are you okay?" Alex stepped forward and helped Braun Lang.

Bolen Lang did not respond, but muttered softly: "It's over... it's over..."

The steward standing nearest also heard what Bolen Lang said and asked doubtfully: "What's the end?"

Without waiting for Bolenlang's answer, Alex said: "Viscount Bega's mood has not calmed down yet. Going to recite the funeral rites now may make the Viscount even more excited. Moreover, Father Bollenlang also saw this. The people of the God of Many Fathers have fallen into misery, and are in great mourning, and they will certainly not be able to perform the death ceremony.”

"Let everyone calm down first."

After speaking, Alex helped Father Brunlon to a remote corner, seemingly hoping to calm down Father Brunlon.

Alex had reached this point, and the butler could only nod in agreement.

On the other side, Alex took Brunn Lang to a small garden. Because something big happened at the Viscount's mansion, there were no servants to trim the flowers. Except for the flowers that were so prosperous that they were almost dazzling, no one else existed.

"Father Brenlang, I think we should have a chat." Alex put Brenlang on the bench, came to the other side alone, and said against the light.

Bollen Lang seemed to still be immersed in his own emotions, but he stopped repeating "It's over". Apparently, he heard what Alex said too.

"Before talking about other topics, can you explain why you keep saying... it's over?"

"What is over? Is it the end of the people, the end of Gust Town, or..."

The cage is over.

Alex swallowed the last sentence and did not show off his cards immediately. Instead, he quietly waited for Braun Lang's response.
