Section 1490 Orientation
When Alex left the hut, he still looked reluctant and sad, but the moment he closed the wooden door, the muscles on his face seemed to be over, and everyone returned to their own homes, and their faces became expressionless again.
This scene of changing face was fully seen by Angels.
"I think if you don't become a priest one day, you can actually consider becoming a stage actor. Angel's sincere suggestion was met with a silent glance from Alex.
"If you are interested in becoming an actor, I can introduce you to a place called the Torch Academy. The actors there, all of them are excellent. ”
Alex completely ignored Ingres' words and ignored them.
He looked around for himself.
It is surrounded by woodland, which is fairly flat. However, because the forest is very dense, the view is not too clear.
Finally, Alex's eyes fell on a cliff high not far away.
Half an hour later, Alex came to the high ground, and from here, he could clearly see the wooden house below, and the surrounding forest, which was a great vantage point.
"Next, it's just a matter of waiting. Alex said lightly.
The so-called waiting, of course, is waiting for the arrival of the pursuer.
The location of the abandoned forest ranger's cabin is actually very far away from the place of last night's incident, in the other direction of Gust Town, it can be said that it is completely two extreme directions.
The next thing they have to do is to see if the undead who are chasing and killing will come here.
If Knight Revane and Camelot don't find any trace of Lady Connie in a short period of time, one thing can be determined for a thing, the person who manipulated the undead is definitely not someone outside the cage. After all, if this controller is outside the cage and peeps into this cage, his vision must be far-sighted, and he will definitely be able to grasp all the movements of the cage at the first time. Even if Lady Connie wanted to, she couldn't.
But on the contrary, if they can't find any trace of Lady Connie in a short time, it means that the controller of the undead must be in the cage. Moreover, he can only detect the person who touches the barrier at the first time. If the toucher escapes, and he wants to catch the toucher, he will need to make great efforts to find it.
So, Alex chose to wait here.
If no one comes here to execute Lady Connie in a short period of time, it can be judged that the other party is not someone outside the cage, then this is when Alex is really dispatched.
Because, once the undead manipulator puts a lot of effort into finding Lady Connie, the other party will definitely show his feet!
Alex thought about things very thoroughly, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Mrs. Connie, who was rescued by Alex, is now used as bait by Alex again......
While waiting, Ingres and Alex exchanged small and trivial matters, including local customs, customs, language habits, and racial characteristics.
He hoped that through these details, he would be able to roughly deduce the location of Gusttown.
Maybe it's because last night, Angel saved Alex's life. His attitude was slightly better than before, as long as it didn't involve Alex himself, Ingres would answer whatever question he asked, as long as he knew.
However, there is no special custom in the town of Gust, except for the worship of the church in Kruja on major festivals. But this custom is actually not too special, basically this situation will occur in countries where religion and politics govern together, and Alex also said that although he doesn't know what the country of Gusttown is, it is certain that the Crua Divine Court is the only religion in this country.
From the information available so far, Ingres is unable to deduce the exact location.
However, Angel guessed that it should still be somewhere in the Southern Regions. After all, he had only been in that strange passage for a very short time, and with Ingres's understanding of the time distance, he should still be in the Southern Regions.
Moreover, the inhabitants of Gusttown are also human, not humanoid. Both language and writing are the lingua franca of the mainland.
Various clues indicate that this is the place where the civilization of the wizarding world is round.
But there was one thing that Ingres noticed.
The inhabitants of Gusttown, although speaking the lingua franca of the mainland, still have a distinctly local accent. But Alex is different, although he has an accent, it is not the same as that of the residents of Gusttown.
Angel asked Alex about his accent, but Alex's memories of the past were blank and he couldn't answer anything.
However, Ingres has a guess. Although he didn't hear where Alex's accent belonged, he felt that it should be an accent somewhere in the Prosperous Continent. Because from Ingres' point of view, Ingres can understand both the accents of the residents of Gusttown and Alex, but Alex's accent will make him less strained.
The sun receded, and Alex stopped talking. He took out the cowhide kettle from his waist, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then said: "It's been almost twenty hours, and the two undead haven't been found yet, it seems that my guess is not wrong, there must be an undead manipulator, and this person is definitely not outside the cage." ”
Alex turned his head and looked into the distant mountains, where the buildings of Gusttown could be faintly seen.
Perhaps, this man is hiding in the town, switching between black and white, treating everyone as a joke, carrying out the orders of the creator of the cage, and slaughtering those who find the truth to their heart's content. ”
Alex stood up and bowed slightly to Angle, "Mr. Pat, I'm sorry for you." ”
Ingres understood what he meant, and slowly floated down the cliff to near the Forester's hut.
Looking in from the window, Lady Connie was staring out the window at the sunset, muttering the name of Knight Revane with tears visible on her cheeks.
Angel stretched out his hand, and a wave of illusion slowly spread, enveloping the abandoned forest keeper's cabin.
Alex, who is on the cliff face, witnesses the process of the gradual disappearance of the forest ranger's cabin.
Although it was the second time he had seen the power of the so-called "illusion", he still felt shocked. Where does this superhuman power come from? Can you gain this power?
By the time Alex was in a trance, Angel had completely hidden the Forester's cabin behind the illusion.
That is, in a short time, Mrs. Connie was safe again.
Previously, Alex asked Lady Connie to be bait to find out the reality of the undead manipulator.
However, after learning the depth of the other party, what to do now is to try to let the other party find Mrs. Connie later, in this way, the other party's movement will definitely get bigger and bigger, which is conducive to grabbing the other party's feet.
Therefore, Alex asks Angel to hide Mrs. Connie and delay the other party to find Mrs. Connie.
Lady Connie didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.
After hiding Lady Connie through the illusion, Angel returned to the cliff: "Because there is no stable energy supply, this illusion will not last too long, and if it is not destroyed by external forces, it can last for about a week." ”
Alex nodded: "A week, that's enough." ”
Stepping on the sunset, they walked along the secluded path all the way back to the town of Gust. By the time we arrived in town, it was nightfall.
Angel took Alex and walked the road where no one was, turning many intersections before sneaking back to the Cruja Church.
Mrs. Connie's escape was definitely an accident for those behind the scenes. As long as you think about it, you can find that someone must be helping Lady Connie, and someone may even have discovered the truth about Fan Cage, so it is very likely that the other party will investigate the people in the town, which is why Alex will be so cautious on his return trip.
When Alex pushed open the door to his room, his brow furrowed suddenly, and he walked around the room, deep in thought.
"What's wrong?" Ingres asked.
Alex: "The note I left behind, the position of the pen, the dust on the door frame, hasn't changed. This means that Fr. Bronlong has not been to my room today. ”
Angel glanced at Alex's desk, where an inkwell had pressed a note. There was a line of words written by Alex on it, which read: He was going to the river to recite the sacred scriptures, and he might return late.
According to Alex, he himself floated down the river to Gusttown, so he occasionally went to the river to recite the sacred scriptures in order to retrieve his memories and thank his father. Father Bronlong also knew about this, so Alex left a note on this as an excuse when he left last night.
However, the night passed, and Father Bronlong did not come to his room.
"It stands to reason that Father Bronlong would come to me every morning to listen to my father's admonitions, but why didn't he come today?" Alex wondered.
Soon, however, his doubts were answered.
There was a commotion in the front yard, and Alex opened the window to look, only to see that the church, which had only a few worshipful night lights lit at night, was suddenly brightly lit.
"Let's go over and see. Alex took off his dusty clothes and changed into a more formal robe, looking more solemn and holy.
After changing his clothes, Alex adjusted his expression slightly and walked towards the Cruja Chapel.
Before I could enter the church, I heard the sound of crying from inside.
Alex pushed open the door, only to see a crowd of people gathered around Father Bronlong, crying incessantly.
Father Bronlong looked a little tired, but he still tried his best to comfort the people around him, and when he saw Alex walk in, he said to the people around him: "Father, please calm down, Father God will definitely expel the dark clouds hanging over our heads for us." ”
After saying that, Father Bronlong turned his head and whispered to a sheriff wearing a round hat, who took over from Father Bronlong and comforted the crowd, while Bronlong walked over to Alex.
"Alex, why are you only coming out now?" asked Bronlong in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, I've been studying the Divine Scriptures today and haven't noticed what's going on outside. Alex made no mention of where he studied the canon.
"It's good to study the scriptures, but it's also important to pay attention to the things of believers. Brunnlang's face softened slightly.
Alex immediately understood from Burlen Lang's reaction that Buran Lang did not know that he had not been in the room for a day, and it seemed that he had said that he was going to the river to read the sacred scriptures, but he could do without it.
"Father, what the hell is going on here, and why is everyone so sad?" Alex asked, putting on a sad face.
"Alas......" Chamberlain sighed and told what had happened.
