Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 53:
There is a proverb in this world called "a sloth needs three needles." It is said that a certain animal called a "slot" is slow to respond, even if it is pierced with a needle, it must be pierced with the third needle before it yells "Oh, it hurts"...
Of course the senior members of the Church of the Orcs and Gods could not be so slow, so a few days later, they had already reacted.
"The fourth one." The chief priest of the Church of Swallowing Dogs, the most noble figure in the Orcs and Gods Church, the old man honored as the "Crown of Glory" did not furiously, his voice was calm, but gloomy Sen's eyes made the legendary powerhouses in the conference room shudder.
"Farn, tell me." He said lightly, "You are in charge of intelligence. Four high-ranking priests died in a row, and one of them was in the legendary realm. I think you must have some intelligence. Right?"
The person named by him is also a legendary powerhouse named Farn Roger, who was born in the rabbit race. He is not particularly powerful in his own force, but he has extraordinary attainments in reconnaissance and concealment. He has been hosting for more than a hundred years. The intelligence work of the United Church.
To be honest, he has done a good job, and there have been no major mistakes so far. But this time the incident was very unexpected. He spent a lot of energy and arranged a lot of manpower, but he has not been able to find true and reliable information.
"...There are only some uncertain news for the time being." Fain sweated profusely and said bitterly, "I haven't been able to verify one by one."
"Let’s talk about it first." The old man, who was so noble enough that few people dared to mention his name, glanced at him, so the cold sweat on his face was a lot more, and his face was almost fluffy. It's all soaked.
"The first news, the centaur priest Ovira Ironhoof left the tribe alone because the tribal chief Olek Ironhoof was drunk and wanted to stay overnight in the temple, and was injured by her. She was found The weapon may have been contaminated with corpse fungus because of too much killing. She went out to search for corpses with corpse fungus to detoxify Orick."
"That's it?"
Faen hurriedly continued: "At that time, she was heading east, and the people I sent to track her whereabouts using magic techniques, and found that she suddenly lost contact on the road. After investigation, we found traces of battle that were deliberately erased. .Because it has been damaged so badly, it is impossible to determine the specific combat situation."
"Can't be sure?" The old man's tone was still calm, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, "How many elders do I need to call from the temple to help to be sure?"
Farn shivered suddenly, and even his underwear was soaked: "After the meeting, I will go there in person! I must investigate the situation clearly!"
Who are in the temple? It is the senior church leaders who have retired and the retired predecessors. They have reached the extreme of the legendary realm, and the power and status of the world are meaningless to them, so they escape from the world and live in seclusion, thinking hard about how to understand and grasp the "source" of power, and take the step of real immortality. .
This little thing must be done by the elders of the Labor Temple. God knows how those elders will deal with themselves after they learn the reason! It's better to take the blame and commit suicide, at least die simply.
"Don't rush to make a statement, let's talk about other news." The old man said nonchalantly, casting his eyes down.
"The second news is that on the night of the death of Belen Sila, the priest of the Western Wilderness area, he struck up a woman named Lilim on the street." Farn said as he took out a crystal and combined a paragraph. The scene was projected in the air, "This is the memory read from his guard."
The scene reflects the prosperous streets of the West Wilderness. The half-human, half-bearful man wore a large robe and walked on the street stumblingly. Everywhere he went, everyone retreated, and many people had fear on their faces. The color.
"Roaring Iron Arm" is not a good man. If he goes to **** to be tried after his death, it would take a whole day to introduce his charges one by one in detail.
Suddenly, the bearman chief priest stopped and said to the guard who provided the memory picture: "Look over there, that woman is good."
The picture shakes, and a woman selling fruit on the corner of the street appears.
The weather here is dry, and the delicious and hydrating fruits are very popular, so there are still a lot of fruit vendors. They wholesale fruits from vendors who specialize in large-scale business, and then sell them on the street at a retail price slightly higher than the wholesale price, making a difference by working hard.
The woman is very beautiful, and the most rare thing is that her skin is abnormally white and translucent, and she has a fruit-like feeling when she looks closely.
Western Wilderness is very windy and sandy, and the climate is dry. As long as you live for a long time, both men and women will have rough skin. Only those patrons of the rich and wealthy family, soaked in water almost all day long, can keep their skin moisturized. But such women often lack vitality and have a morbid sense of weakness, which is not in line with the aesthetics of the orcs.
In contrast, this fruit-selling woman not only has watery skin, but also looks very energetic. Apart from the slightly shorter figure compared to the bear, she can't find any other shortcomings.
The picture in the line of sight suddenly became very clear, and even heavy breathing can be heard. Obviously, both the guard and Belem had a keen interest in this woman.
The content at the back is lackluster, nothing more than a tacky segment of robbing folk girls.
After capturing the woman back, Belen told the guards not to disturb him even if the sky fell, unless there was an emergency call from the upper temple.
However, the next morning, hearing that his room had been quiet for a long time, the guards finally couldn't help sneaking in, wanting to take a peek.
He only saw Belém lying motionless on the bed, but the woman had no idea what to do.
"The specific process is like this." The scene ended here, and Farn said, "I checked on the spot and I was sure that there were no traces of charms and other spells, but there was a little change from the spells, but it was very Weak, it should not be a powerful magic effect. In addition, I found traces of divine power, but I can’t determine which majesty it came from."
It's not uncommon for priests to use magical techniques when doing this kind of thing, so everyone is not surprised. They whispered to each other, discussing what might be the case.
Although four high-ranking priests died one after another, in fact, only the death of Belen Silas was truly a major event, and the rest of the priests were not worth mentioning. If it wasn't for the death of this legendary powerhouse, even if a few more high-ranking priests died, it wouldn't be worthy of the attention of big men like them.
"How about this woman's situation?" the old man asked.
"It is certain that it is an assassin." Farn had already tracked down carefully, and immediately replied, "Before that day, no one in the city had seen her, and no one after that day. The two big merchants who transported fruits in the city have never been wholesale. Fruit for such a beautiful woman-the gate guard has never even seen her in and out of the city."
"What else?"
"I checked the corpse carefully. Although I can't believe it, Lord Belem was not injured, poisoned, cursed, and all other abnormalities. He was over-indulgent and exhausted." Faun's eyes showed a little confusion. Color, "I have checked it several times, and it is indeed like this."
"This is ridiculous!" Another strong bearman shouted, "It's just a night! With Belen's physical strength, even if he has been fighting for ten and a half months on the battlefield, he will not be exhausted!"
"Yes, no matter how good this woman is... She killed Belen, I believe; she is exhausted to death, I really don't believe it!" Another pastor of the legendary realm also asserted so.
Farn sighed and looked at the old man.
The old man frowned slightly. He didn't doubt Fa'n's ability, especially the cause of death of a legendary strong man. Faun could not fail to check carefully anyway.
But...went for a night and died of indulgence. This method of death appeared on a legendary strong man, and he was also a strong bear priest. It was ridiculous!
He closed his eyes, and strange waves rose from his body.
As one of the few semi-god powerhouses in the entire main plane, he can contact the orcs and gods at any time, and even visit the kingdom of the gods directly with his soul.
Although it was very rude to do so, in order to find out the truth, he only had to be rude once and went to the person concerned to inquire in person.
In this world, the "death without proof" is not true. Even if a person dies, the soul is still there. If you really want to track it down, you can ask the soul directly—just a little troublesome.
After a while, the strange fluctuations in the old man's body subsided, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The legendary powerhouses all cast their curious eyes on him, waiting for his news.
"Hehe...It's really amazing..." The old man squinted his eyes and laughed, "Faen, your test result is correct."
"What?!" Several people exclaimed together.
The legendary pastor with the title of "Roaring Iron Arm", one of the highest figures in the entire Orc and Gods United Church, is really too cruel on the bed, over-indulgent and exhausted? !
"Gosh..." A pigman mage was so surprised that he had forgotten the standard lingua franca he had practiced for many years~ IndoMTL.com~ spoke with the accent he had always despised.
"Then...that woman..." Faun responded first and asked respectfully.
The old man snorted coldly: "Farn, don't worry about other things, and focus on tracking down this woman."
He said coldly: "A woman who can make Belen lose his senses by flirting alone, uncontrollably indulge in crazily indulgence, and consumes so much physical strength that she is exhausted all night... This kind of woman is not common, maybe Which Cthulhu church secretly cultivated a high-level assassin!"
"Your Majesty who was curious just saw it with his prophecy." The old man said in a deep voice, "The prophecy of a true **** has been blocked."
The legendary powerhouses were suddenly awe-inspiring, and they all showed solemnity.
As things have progressed to this point, the severity has escalated.
In contrast, the deaths of a few priests who have not yet reached the realm of legend have been thrown out of the sky by them.
So a few days later, more priests died, but the woman still had no clue, and never appeared again.
In the underground labyrinth, the pink piggy danced, boasting about his achievements to the emerald green jellyfish lying on the ground, triumphantly.
It’s too early for her to transform back into a human form...
