Chapter 417 7.71 The Road Home (5)

When the church expands to a certain extent, too many gang members make the believers have to be more carefully distinguished to maximize the functions of each believer.

Take the "Holy Lord Church" which is the largest in the Western Continent at that time as an example. In the church, there are both "Holy Army" like professional armies and "Silent Sisters" responsible for guarding seals and sorting out old documents.

Of course, there are also "Blood Martyrs" full of fanatical believers and "Thorn Hermitage" composed of "ascetic monks".

Although they all belong to the Holy Lord Church, small frictions between different sects often occur, and sometimes they even fight for their own interests.

The same is true for the Zoroastrianism, which is not weaker than the "Holy Bishop".

The members of the Fire Transmission Gang with different expertise will be discovered by the Fire Transmission Priest, and will be transferred to different departments if they perform well. Among them, the "Fire Transmission Gang" standing high on the top of the pyramid is called "Fire Thieves".

"Fire Thieves" are a group of humans dancing on the edge of a knife.

All of them accepted the most dangerous tasks within the Pope. These included stealing religious relics, kidnapping royal family members, smuggling difficult hostages, stealing core intelligence, and so on.

Fire thieves are the most deadly spies, and they are also high-risk professions that must be eliminated once discovered. All kingdoms and all churches are extremely vigilant about them.

Every time they appear, it often means huge trouble.

But at the same time, high risk also means high benefits. Every "fire thief" is an intern earl in the Arab Empire. Whether it is the five great fire kings or the rulers of the Arab Empire, the "Abbas Family", they have supreme respect for every "fire thief".

In the empire, everyone is a hero.

Alfred never thought that the 13-year-old beast in front of him would have such a prominent identity!

Although his whole body was numb, his consciousness was still clear. He waited for his eyes to look at the "Big Sparrow", and his heart gradually pieced together an astonishing truth.

"Yes, that's right! Your idea is correct." After feeding all the flat-haired beasts in the chicken coop, the Big Sparrow dragged Alfred to the side hall like dragging a dead dog.

"Be bolder, the truth is right in front of you."

(I was right!)

(They must be monitoring the master in reverse!)

**

Alfred has seen the world since he was a child. Even in the Pantheon, which is full of talents, intelligence personnel like the Big Sparrow are still rare.

Tiny sparrows are everywhere, whether mortals or gods, they will not pay too much attention to the tiny flying birds jumping around.

With the ability to "control sparrows and talk to sparrows", the Big Sparrow is unmatched in the business of spying on intelligence.

As long as he wants, he can easily monitor all corners of human civilization.

Alfred will not be surprised that such a talented member of the Fire Transmission Gang can take the position of "Fire Thief".

But he was willing to live in a small marginal town like "Versailles Castle" and be a fire priest. This matter was full of weirdness from inside to outside.

Zoroastrianism is a machine that keeps running precisely at all times. The "fire priests" will carefully use every resource in their hands and will never let such talents live in a small marginal town.

In this way, the answer seems to be obvious.

They obviously knew that the "Edward Plantagenet" hidden in the deep palace was pretended by Mutu, one of the 12 lords of the lizardmen, "King of the Sea".

When Mutu was secretly controlling the Kingdom of France, the "fire thieves" had already quietly ambushed him.

Their monitoring of the lord did not start today, but has never stopped!

**

"That's right, Master Alfred, you are as smart as the outside world says you are to graduate from the Pantheon with the first place!"

The "Fire Transmission Gang" pretending to be the parents of the High Sparrow lifted Alfred, who was numb all over, and threw him on the sofa.

When there are outsiders watching, they will do their best to play their respective roles.

But when night falls and the door of the chicken farm is closed. They are respectful to the "High Sparrow". They complete his every step of instructions diligently.

"Since I was promoted to the Fire Thief by the 'Archbishop Susas', my task completion rate has remained at the level of 100%! Since I have received the deposit from the Duke, I naturally have to find a way to save his life."

"Now, you have to talk about something serious. You can't move, just listen carefully to me."

Waving his hand to dismiss the two subordinates, the High Sparrow pulled over a chair and sat next to Alfred. He raised a finger and his face became solemn.

"Today is not dangerous."

"The real danger is how to transport you out of the city tomorrow. Because you have received help from the members of the Fire Transmission Gang, this matter is no longer a secret to the Golden Scale Guards in the city!"

"Since you entered the city, they have begun to investigate all the people in the city who are suspected of colluding with the "Fire Worship Cult". We have no choice but to sacrifice some of the believers to save your lives."

In front of Alfred, the High Sparrow had no intention of maintaining any "glorious image". Hearing his stomach growl twice, he remembered that he had not eaten yet.

He stood up and walked into the kitchen, took out two pancakes and smeared some hot sauce on them. He stuffed them into his mouth and returned to Alfred.

"Don't worry, we are safe for now."

"But when we leave the city tomorrow, it will be a huge test for all of us!" The crumbs of the pancake flew in his mouth, and the High Sparrow wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, "At least one of you must return home alive to save the life of Duke Loki."

"Can't figure out this logic?"

"It doesn't matter, listen to me carefully!

We know two theorems.

1. Since Duke Loki performed that outstanding skinning show at the wedding, the Lizardmen and the Illuminati are no longer a secret in the entire Viking circle.

2. The reason why the lord is fighting with you Vikings is for one and only one reason-the Asgard portal!

If you go back alive, it means that you can pass a message to the rest of the Vikings-Duke Loki has fallen into the hands of the Illuminati.

The Vikings will infer a very likely thing: Duke Loki will be killed and then killed by the old The lizard put on his human skin.

At this time, if the lovely Lord of the Sect was really stupid enough to wear Loki's human skin and return to the Normandy region to try to retrieve the Asgard portal under the identity of the Duke, it would be like a sheep walking into the mouth of a hungry wolf.

With the shrewdness of the "Lord of the Sect", he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

He would spare Loki's life, and then perform the "Soul Search Technique" to extract his memory of the portal in his mind.

In terms of efficiency, this is certainly not as good as him borrowing Loki's identity to directly extract information. But we have to admit that being alive is better than anything else!

Although it takes several months to perform the Soul Search Technique, as long as he spends some time, he will definitely know the hidden location of the Asgard portal.

This means that at least the Duke is still alive. "

Stuffing the whole pancake into his mouth, the big sparrow gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold water and flicked off the sesame crumbs on his body.

"But on the other hand, if all of you die here, no one can bring back the news of the Duke's capture for your Viking friends. Our respected lord can wear his human skin at will and continue to sit on the position of the Duke of Normandy.

In this case, the respected Duke Loki will definitely die.

Because compared with the time-consuming and labor-intensive soul-searching technique, wearing human skin will naturally bring more benefits and be more stable!"

**

Alfred looked at the High Sparrow with a sharp gaze. He wanted to speak, but the poison paralyzed the nerves of his whole body. He couldn't say a word.

"Hey, I know what you want to say. Master Alfred, I advise you not to even think about it!"

"It's impossible for us to help you pass on the message."

"This is indeed not difficult for the members of the Chuanhuo Gang! But you may have forgotten one crucial thing. Only the ignorant can be fearless!"

"Around the world, only you crazy people dare to provoke the Illuminati! And we have seen too many skills of the Illuminati members, and have experienced their dark methods many times in the past hundred years.

We dare not take the initiative to challenge their authority!"

"This time we helped you escape from France because you showed too much sincerity! The lord would not be happy to know this, but at least he could understand.

We are a group of people who do this business. With the imperial seal in hand, no matter how he punishes us, Afraid of expelling us from the French land forever, we can accept it even if it costs hundreds of lives.

Because finding the imperial seal of the Qin Dynasty will be the greatest achievement of the "Fire Thieves" in the past hundred years!

But

If we help you pass on information again, it means that we are completely on your side! This is a huge issue of principle, which means that we have officially formed an alliance with the Vikings and stood on the opposite side of the Illuminati.

The Red Line Fire Gang will not take this step.

Let alone an imperial seal, even if you bring Qin Shihuang's sword "Taia", we will not declare war on the Illuminati!

One "King of the Earthsea" Mutu is enough to give people a headache, and there are 11 Old Ones as crazy as him in the Illuminati!

Among them, there is a "Patriarch" who is more terrible than a madman! "

When it comes to the word "Patriarch", he is as arrogant as a big sparrow, and his eyes also reveal a trace of fear.

"We will help you escape from this continent according to the contract, but everything that follows still depends on you.

I, the 'Chuanhuo Gang', will do as much as I am paid.

If you want to truly turn the situation around, you still have to rely on your own strength!"

After explaining everything with a solemn face, the Big Sparrow stood up, secretly parted the curtains and looked at the street outside the window. The Golden Scale Guards holding torches were still patrolling the streets. They began to knock on the doors of residents one by one, and walked in to check the identities of all residents.

In response, the "Big Sparrow" did not show any panic. A considerable number of his men were hidden in the Golden Scale Guards.

They would naturally help her solve this problem.

But the show still had to be done.

With a light snap of his fingers, his "parents" appeared again. The two brought out a tray with a few cups of milk tea and seven or eight boiled eggs on it.

This was the midnight snack they prepared for the soldiers on the street as a "chicken farm" farmer.

Firebenders are people who live in their own disguise for a long time. The High Sparrow's identity in Versailles is that of a student born on a chicken farm. Everything the family does must conform to their identity.

In this way, suspicion can be avoided to the greatest extent.

"Your Highness, the dragon-slaying warrior described by the bard sounds majestic and majestic, with a swaying shadow, but you must now understand what it's like to actually walk on this road.

The exciting passages recorded in the "Bible Stories" include Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt, and Seraphim wielding a flaming sword to slay demons.

They will not tell you that the "Holy Lord Jehovah" was willing to save the Jews because only so many people in the land of Kyushu at that time were willing to believe in him.

They will not tell you that the number of angels killed by demons is ten times that of dead demons. This is actually a campaign to eliminate political opponents.

The purpose is to cut off the wings of the 12 angels.”

"well"

The High Sparrow sighed desolately, showing a trace of maturity that did not belong to his age.

"The anesthetic on you will wear off before the sun rises tomorrow,

You've had a long day. It’s late at night, take the time to have a good sleep and recover your strength!

I will put on another face for you while you sleep.

Wait until tomorrow morning. If you use my identity as a worker, I will personally take you out of the city.

Don’t dislike that piece of clothing that smells like chicken shit.”

Blinking his left eye gently, the High Sparrow lightly snapped his fingers. The crisp sound was like a spell, causing Alfred to immediately pass out on the sofa.

Two "permanent workers" employed by the chicken farm promptly walked out of the basement where the workers lived.

They quickly took off Alfred's coat and put him into a linen garment belonging to a farmer. Then they unceremoniously took away the Soul Hunter and Snake Gut dagger he was wearing.

"Hey, I just promised to send you back safely, but I didn't tell you to take the baby back too!"

"Although these two knives are of average quality, they should still be in the eyes of the 'Fire Passer'. Seeing that I saved your life, I will accept it with a smile!"

Alfred, who was in a coma, was naturally unable to make any resistance. Several big hands quickly applied human skin to his face and applied paint. It can be seen that this is not the first time that the Chuanhuo Gang has done this kind of thing, and their methods are very skilled.

After finishing the last few strokes, several people looked at each other and smiled.

Just then, boom, boom, boom.

There were three rhythmic knocks on the door.

The three of them frowned at the same time.
