Chapter 6 Wanted Order
Rogue Town, garrison camp.
Ever since the white-robed priest arrived here, the atmosphere in the entire barracks has become somewhat tense.
As the captain of the garrison of the small town of Rogue, Sim had never seen such a big figure coming here.
You know, as a grassroots church under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Church in Rogue Town, only a priest of the lowest level is responsible for preaching.
But even a pastor, in this town, plays an equal role with the mayor.
neither knows,
What important matter could be behind the arrival of this priest in white?
at this time,
Mayor Gray, garrison captain Sim, priest Alfa, Langton from the Rogue Town Magic Association office and others sat upright.
Their eyes were filled with respect as they all fell on both sides of the white-robed priest who was sitting at the head seat at the long table.
The priest in white had a serious expression.
He waved the cross and tapped the air a few times.
Pages of paper fell out of thin air onto the square table, covering the entire table.
Several people opened their eyes and looked.
Floating on these papers are photos of people.
There are three lines of text under each photo.
The first line of text had three big characters written on it - Wanted.
The second line of text contains the names of these criminals.
The third line of words, which are numbers of different sizes, represent the reward amount.
“Why are there so many wanted warrants?”
The first to speak was Mayor Gray.
A rough estimate is that there are hundreds of wanted warrants here.
As a border town, Rogue Town has posted at most one or two wanted posters in the past few decades.
When have I ever seen such a big scene?
At this moment, everyone realized why the white-robed priest had come.
He represented not only the church but also the empire.
"The night before, the Iron Jungle was destroyed by a criminal of the most heinous character."
"All these prisoners escaped. Except for a few who were caught, the rest are nowhere to be found."
The white-robed priest had a stern expression on his face.
The tone of condemnation was very strong.
As an important area within the Land of Eternal Calamity, the Iron Jungle is under the dual jurisdiction of the Imperial Knights and the Imperial Church.
After such a terrible incident, the entire Land of Eternal Salvation will face pressure from the Church and the Empire.
If this matter cannot be handled properly and all the prisoners are not brought back, the authority of the Holy See will be questioned by the people.
This is extremely harmful to the development of the Holy See.
After the incident, the Holy See sent hundreds of white-robed priests and thousands of deacons.
With the Land of Eternal Calamity as the center, radiate out to towns and cities everywhere to convey this wanted order.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in shock.
As expected, the powerful people in Rogue Town became panicked.
"What should we do? If those criminals escape to Rogue Town, how should we deal with them?"
"How could someone be so bold as to destroy the Iron Jungle!"
"Master Priest, what if these criminals show up here? I heard they are all very powerful. The most powerful one here is Langton."
Everyone started talking.
Everyone looked at Langton, an intermediate magician at the Magic Association's office in Rogue Town.
Langton was not a native of Rogue Town, but was sent by the Magic Association to develop magicians in Rogue Town.
When a child with magical talent appeared, he would send him.
He would then report it to the Magic Association and arrange for him to enter the Magic Academy.
How can an intermediate magician, who is not even qualified to enter the Iron Jungle, deal with the fugitives escaping from there?
The white-robed priest hesitated for a moment.
"So, this is a very serious matter and the situation is very dire right now."
"As long as you find any trace of them, immediately inform the Church of the Land of Eternal Tribulation and support will come."
"Remember, if you find any clues, report them immediately. The Church and the Empire will give you the rewards you deserve!"
The white-robed priest knocked on the table and encouraged.
The scene fell into deathly silence for a moment. No one present had ever encountered such a thing before.
"Master Priest, may I ask if there are any other rewards besides gold coins?"
After a while, the garrison captain Sim spoke up, and it was obvious that he was very nervous.
Captain Sim is in his forties.
I didn't work in Roger Town in my early years.
Instead, he served as the commander of a garrison regiment in a nearby large town.
He is also a swordsman of some fame.
Because he offended his superior during an operation, he was exiled to this small border town and became a small garrison captain.
Whether it is income or future.
All become dim.
Because of this, he was often disliked by his wife.
A small quarrel every three days, a big quarrel every five days.
A look from his wife made him speechless.
Year after year, he thought about how to leave Rogue Town.
It’s a pity that Rogue Town is too peaceful and there is no chance to make any merit.
Not to mention being transferred back to the superior garrison regiment.
Therefore, after hearing about the white-robed priest and seeing these wanted warrants today, his mind became active.
If we can find clues to one of the criminals, we'll have a chance to make a contribution!
Returning to the garrison regiment is no longer a dream?
This is a good opportunity!
Although the garrison force does not belong to the Vatican, it does not belong to the same system.
But because they all serve the empire, under certain conditions, the power of the Holy See even overrides that of the Imperial Knights, and it can directly command the Imperial Knights to do things.
Whether to reward or not is just a matter of a word from the priest of the Holy See.
The white-robed priest glanced at Sim and seemed to see through his thoughts.
"In addition to wealth, there are also power rewards. Captain Sim, if you can really capture one of them, you will naturally have a bigger platform for development."
Hearing this, Captain Sim was delighted.
That's it!
This is what I was waiting for.
Mayor Gray, who was standing by, sighed slightly.
This Sim is really an expressionist...
……
"Here are the pea cakes and rum for you two, and the potato cakes for you little sister. Please enjoy them."
Lin Feng picked up the glass wine glass on the table and sniffed the black liquid inside.
The strong smell of alcohol makes you feel drunk after just one sip.
Looking at Lin Feng’s blushing cheeks, Leah’s father couldn’t help but laugh.
"You look over 18, you can taste the wine."
Lin Feng took a bite.
The hot drink suddenly poured into his mouth and gulped down like a ball of fire, causing him to cough violently.
Seeing Lin Feng's embarrassed look, Leah's father laughed so hard that he slammed the table.
Leah, who was standing by, was also laughing.
Just one morning.
Lin Feng became much closer to the father and daughter.
This story starts with the uncle's leg.
It turned out that when the uncle was young, he worked in a garrison regiment in a big town.
We often have to go out of the city to resist the invading monsters.
During a battle, his leg was bitten off by a ferocious monster.
If his brother Sim had not carried him back to the city, he would have died long ago.
Although he retired from the Knights Templar early due to injury, he was able to get married and have children thanks to a large pension.
The reason for coming to Rogue Town today was, firstly, to sell the wild boar that he had just killed this morning for some money, and secondly, to bring Lin Feng to find his good brother Sim.
Sim is now the captain of the Rogue Town garrison, so it is easy for him to help find someone or get some information.
But just now when I went to the garrison, I was stopped.
Said Sim was in a meeting.
The three returned empty-handed, so they came to this restaurant and had lunch first.
Leah and her daughter were both very enthusiastic towards Lin Feng.
The little girl also sat next to Lin Feng and introduced everything about Rogue Town.
Apparently, they also frequently come to Rogue Town.
"Feng, please sit here for a while. I'm going to do something."
After drinking for a while, Leah's father suddenly said.
Feng is Lin Feng’s own name.
Ryan Wood's name has now become the name of a fugitive, and it is obviously not allowed to be used when he is away from home.
Of course, he was more accustomed to people calling him "Feng" because that would never give him away.
Watching Leah's father's receding back.
Lin Feng picked up the wine glass and took another sip.
