Dust of History Chapter 51: The wind is full of buildings (Part 1)

Asa thought about it, got up and said to Jessica: "You stay here, I can go alone."

"Why?" Jessica frowned at him.

"Too dangerous." Asa replied lightly. He knew very well how good Jessica's stealth and stalking skills were, and the black elf was a genius in this area, so he let her go to find the way. But even she was almost discovered, which is enough to show how vigilant and insightful the several guards are.

Of course, alertness and combat effectiveness are always two different things. Even if there were two or three templars among these guards, Asa was confident in dealing with them. But his purpose now is not to deal with these guards, but the cardinal who is waiting for someone in the room. As long as those guards find themselves, the assassination will turn into a frontal battle.

Similarly, assassination and combat power are two different things. Asa's daring to assassinate Eschael does not mean that he has the confidence to defeat him in a frontal battle.

On the piece of parchment given to him by Lord Borugan, the cardinal's name is the largest and most eye-catching. The explanation next to this name is far less detailed than that of other people, only a few small words "do according to one's ability". Although there are only these few words, the most important point of this person has been explained clearly.

Even though this is the most important goal, it is not necessarily one that should be eliminated. Because it is too dangerous.

Actually, the reason why the cardinal’s name is on the parchment is because Borugan-sama has always been rigorous in his work style. In terms of the first place. And no matter whether it was Master Borugan or Cedros, they never asked nor expected Asa to kill Eschael.

As early as more than 20 years ago, Eschael, Ronis and the current Pope Magnus were known as the three major white magicians in the mainland. Although he is the youngest and weakest of the three, that doesn't mean much. Just like the weakest lion is a lion and not a rabbit after all, he experienced countless battles in his early fighting and adventure career, and the nerves, reactions and magic skills he honed over time are by no means at the level of Adela's lack of actual combat experience comparable. What's more, as the cardinal of Erasia, there will never be no guards around him, and the guards must not be masters.

More importantly, if he is still a member of Di Yagu, then the hidden identity behind this is definitely accompanied by unexplainable strength.

Even Asa himself didn't think about killing the biggest target at the beginning. After yesterday's assassination, Asa and Jessica stayed in the royal city. Tula Leon is to the southwest of Erathia, while Ofu is to the northeast. Asa is here waiting for Hilton and the two, and on the other hand, he can also pay attention to Erasia's movements at any time, and can respond immediately if something happens.

But staying here and hiding traces has become the biggest problem. It was the time when the wind was jittery, and the two strangers would definitely attract attention. The Knights of the Kingdom were searching for suspicious people all over the city, and St. Peter's Basilica happened to be one of the places that the Knights of the Kingdom would not search, so the two of Asa He sneaked into the cathedral quietly, lurking in one of the most hidden places. Although the priests and guards here are inferior to the Knights of the Kingdom in terms of combat power and vigilance, but this cathedral is too big and the structure is too complicated, let alone hiding two people who are good at hiding, even It is that two cows can find a place to stuff them in.

But after hiding here, a thought arose in Asa's mind. Since he can hide here, can he simply kill that target? This may be his last in Erasia. Time is also the last chance.

If the three people who were assassinated before were just the fingers of the church to attack Oufu, then Eschael was at least a complete arm. According to Mr. Borugan's observations when he was the envoy of Oufu, the relationship between Queen Catherine and the church is not close, and it can even be said to be close. If the cardinal of Erasia dies at this critical time, then Queen Catherine may It will take the opportunity to weaken the church's influence in Erasia.

Although from this point of view, the biggest beneficiary would be Queen Catherine if Eschael died, but under the current circumstances, the interests of Oufu and Queen Catherine are indeed linked together. Politics is like this. Things that seem unimaginable on the outside are not necessarily contrary to common sense, but ordinary people generally cannot see through them.

But this is not the whole reason Asa wants to take the risk. There is another very important and simple reason, he wants to try himself.

Ever since he came out of Tula Leon Forest, he felt that something deep in his soul was touched and inspired. He couldn't quite tell whether it was because of the awe and yearning for the two after witnessing Gru and his earth-shattering battle, or the fighting spirit inspired by himself and Lancelot, or because the elf elder told him What I said. Whether it was the unparalleled pressure or motivation, it really made him feel that something in his heart was throbbing again.

That is the motivation to have a goal, as well as fighting spirit. Just like when he had just left Karendo, he felt that vitality and strength filled his chest again. He saw the high mountain, but he didn't look up. Instead, he felt more strength in his heart and saw himself.

So when faced with a target of great value and danger like Eschael, he almost immediately decided to take a look and try. Although this is a very dangerous task, it is also a step to take yourself to a higher level. a trial. And this sudden storm is undoubtedly a god-sent opportunity. So he decided that he would go no matter what.

"What do you want me to stay here? Are you afraid that I will die? As I said, I don't need your concern." Jessica looked at Asa coldly.

Asa sighed and said, "I just don't expect you to die. Let me tell you first, this is not Tula Leon. I probably won't be distracted to save you if it comes to a really dangerous life-and-death situation." He knew If it's just stealth, Jessica will never hold him back, but if it's a fight, it's another matter.

"That's the best. Whether I follow you or die is my business."

"Then it's up to you." A thunderous sound exploded in my ears, and even the windows trembled slightly. Asa paid no attention to Jessica, got up and gently opened the small window on the roof. The wind rushed in immediately. The smell of rain mixed with the evil spirit of thunder and lightning filled the small mezzanine floor of the attic.

In Tula Leon Forest, after he saved Jessica from Gru, she did not express the slightest gratitude to Asa for saving her, but looked at him with a bit of hostility and mocking eyes Said: "Do you think that I will be grateful to you if you do this, and then I will be your loyal slave forever? Don't you feel disgusted by this trick of making a noble and great appearance to buy people's hearts?"

Asa was startled. Although he didn't expect that Jessica would be as grateful as the character in the knight novel and follow her to the death, but he also didn't expect that it would be such a reaction.

"You know now, in the world of the black elves, there has never been the concept of kindness. People's goodness is for nothing." Gru looked at Asa and smiled.

Asa sighed, and he didn't know whether he said to Gru or Jessica: "I never do good things, I only do what I want to do."

After all, Gru let Jessica go as he said because of Asa's words, but finally lost the sentence "Don't tell others about me". And Jessica found Asa later, and told him in a very strange manner that she planned to follow him as before: "But don't think that I am grateful to you, I just want to see you What kind of person is he, what kind of idea is he playing?"

Asa naturally agreed without saying anything. He just needed help, and although the Black Elf has basically maintained the same position as Asa's helper like Hilton and the others, there are still some differences, such as now .

Asa slid out of the open window like a loach in the water without a sound, and stuck to the outside wall.

Although the outer wall of the cathedral's watch stone is uneven, at least it is impossible for even a monkey to climb on it casually. Asa didn't dare to use any magic like Feather Fall. For a white mage of Eschael's level, any magic fluctuations within a hundred meters would cause him to notice. He used meditation to control his first muscle to the limit, and all parts of his body were attached to the bumps on the wall, and he could even attach himself to it like a gecko. He slowly moved down, and he already knew the location of Bishop Eschael's room, which was right below.

It seems that the sky suddenly leaked a big hole and poured the wind and water accumulated for thousands of years downwards. The bean-sized raindrops were thrown by the wind and hit the body like small fists. Asafeng's body was completely soaked in less than three seconds after he got out of it. The wind tore his drenched clothes and skin crazily, almost blowing him off the wall several times.

But Asa was very satisfied, even he could barely hear the sound of the wind climbing in such a strong wind and rain, let alone the guards in the church hall.

Suddenly a figure slowly slid down from above, Asa was startled, it turned out to be Jessica. Although she couldn't control every part of her body freely like Asa, she tried her best to cling to the outer edge of the wall with her hands, and her feet were suspended in the air, although she could slowly slide down. This is not magic, but a racial ability unique to black elf nobles.

Asa sighed, but didn't stop her from coming, and he knew it was useless to stop her.

In the night of wind, rain, thunder and electricity, two black shadows moved silently on the outer wall of the cathedral. A window below gave off a soft light that acted as a beacon in the darkness.

The rain was heavy and the wind was also strong. The wind and rain kept hitting and pushing the carriage. The carriage was bumping violently as if it was climbing a mountain road on the edge of a wild highland. The female knight lovingly touched the cheek of the girl in her arms, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we will be there soon. Bishop Eschael is waiting for us over there."

The girl in the female knight's hand is very thin, almost covered with skin and bones. Even so, it can be seen from the general outline that she was originally delicate and very beautiful. But now she didn't show the slightest fear, not only was she not afraid, but she didn't even have any emotion or light of thought, and her big eyes were covered with a layer of fog of confusion and chaos. Her expression was also dull, and she kept muttering something in a low voice.

"Knight Talis, is Bishop Eschael really...absolutely trustworthy?" The boy in the same car suddenly asked. His appearance was vaguely similar to that girl, and he could be seen as the girl's brother.

Talis was angry and funny, and said: "I don't even know why you ask such a question. As the cardinal of Erasia, Master Eschael is in charge of Erasia, the largest authority in the Western Continent. You have believed in the Church for twenty years, even in Celeste you have to count him apart from His Majesty the Pope, do you have any doubts about such a loyal servant of the gods?"

"No~IndoMTL.com~ I just feel..." The young man hesitated. ,

"Yabin, I know what you are worried about." The female knight smiled. Her originally handsome and beautiful appearance under this smile is so bright that it can surprise everyone who has seen it. It is unexpected that such a solemn woman who is almost old-fashioned, and her words and even her thoughts are full of justice and gods. Such a beautiful smile. Such a smile was probably something her teacher Lancelot and other Templars had never seen before. Probably it is because she smiles so little that she looks so good.

"I know that after you have experienced such a thing, you are wary of all those who use white magic and mind magic. , That must be an illusion created by someone with ulterior motives. Bishop Eschael will definitely heal Sister Aimei. I will report this matter to Celeste, and I must find you The culprit behind that tragedy."

The carriage had already arrived at the gate of the cathedral. Talis and Yabin got out of the car with Aimei in their arms, and walked quickly into the gate of the cathedral.

The wind and rain are getting stronger and stronger, and even the sacred church gate can't stop it. The raindrops are engulfed by the airflow and poured inward, desperately filling this majestic and majestic building.
