The aircraft carrying the Mosca team and Admiral Gwen left the Central City.
Douglas looked at the aircraft gradually disappearing in the sky and said coldly: "Gwen has begun to suspect me."
The priest following him raised his head in fear.
Douglas did not notice his expression and said lightly: "Go and call Isaiah."
Isaiah was the temple knight that Xiao Qiong and his team met that night, and he was also the strongest of all the temple knights.
He was the sharpest knife in Douglas's hand, powerful and ruthless.
The priest who came to deliver the message was a little afraid to look directly at him.
The mask covered half of Isaiah's face, making it impossible to see his expression.
The priest waited for a while, but did not receive his answer. After much hesitation, he could not help but raise his head. He saw that his eyes were deep and he was slowly wiping the long sword in his hand. The reflection of the metal in his eyes actually brought out a murderous look.
The priest was startled and quickly lowered his head and dared not look again.
At this time, he heard Isaiah's emotionless voice: "Got it."
The priest passed the order and did not dare to stay any longer. He ran away in a hurry.
After he left, Isaiah did not go to the tower immediately. Instead, he carefully admired the long sword in his hand before sheathing it. His eyes were like the long sword, with no brilliance, as if it was a machine without emotion.
He came to Douglas and knelt on one knee without hesitation.
Douglas looked down and said, "I have a mission for you."
Isaiah: "Yes."
Douglas' eyes fell on his light golden hair.
The Temple Knights are the military backing of the Temple, and they can indeed defeat a hundred enemies with one, but unfortunately the training of the Temple Knights is very difficult, and they are indeed short-lived, so the number of people has never increased.
Among them, Isaiah is the most perfect one.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Temple Knights are emotionless killing machines, but the Temple has its own way to make them loyal.
Holding such a big killer in his hands makes Douglas quite proud.
He paused for a long time, but Isaiah did not show any impatience. He still half-knelt on the ground, with his head down, looking very respectful.
The anger Douglas had received from Gwen had finally dissipated a lot, and he ordered: "You go to the First Military District, and kill Gwen when he goes outside the defense line, and don't leave any traces."
Isaiah's expression did not waver at all at this terrible order to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the First Military District, and on his own turf, and he said without hesitation: "Yes."
Douglas thought about it, and then said: "By the way, kill the card master named Xiao Qiong and his UR card."
Isaiah tightened his hand holding the hilt of the sword slightly, but there was no trace of anger in his voice: "Yes."
Douglas was very satisfied with his obedience: "Go."
Isaiah then stood up and left the tower.
Douglas looked at his back, as if he remembered something, and asked the priest standing beside him: "Has the boy from the Meloen family not given up yet?"
The priest said respectfully: "Yes, he has been tortured by blood for the third time now."
Douglas frowned. He had persisted longer than he thought, but he didn't care. It's not like no one had tried blood punishment over the years. Many years ago, the young master of the Ignatz family also tried it, but what was the result?
The pampered young master persisted for eight times, but finally collapsed. It was a pity that they arrived a step too late. Instead of taking the crazy young master back, they watched him commit suicide.
Thinking of this, he told the priest again: "Keep an eye on him. If he dies, you will all accept the punishment obediently. Do you understand?"
The priest was frightened and quickly said: "Yes."
At this time, after experiencing the fourth blood punishment, Clement climbed out with difficulty. He only then understood why so many predecessors could not hold on in the face of blood punishment, because this kind of pain is constantly deepening, and he will not slowly adapt to it just because he has experienced it.
On the contrary, because of the previous experience, he is more afraid of this kind of pain.
He has only experienced it for the third time, and there will be at least nine more in the future. Even if he is determined, he has the idea of retreating at this moment.
Clement lay on the ground to rest for a while, but his fingers suddenly felt the ground was a little rough. He turned over with difficulty and found it was a small arrow by feeling around.
The arrow was carved very secretly and was very small. Because the ground was dark and there was no light in the room, it was difficult to be found.
Clement followed the direction of the arrow and slowly moved to the wall. Sure enough, he felt a line of tiny characters in the corner of the wall.
The carving was very sloppy. Clement felt it several times before he understood what the characters meant.
- Go down.
Go down?
Clement was a little confused. Did this sentence mean that he should go under the tower?
But on the first day he came in, the priest warned him not to walk around casually, especially under the tower. Once discovered, he would be severely punished.
Clement didn't want to cause trouble. He just wanted to complete the bloody punishment, get away from the control of the temple, and become an ordinary person again.
But this sentence made him unable to ignore it.
At this moment, his fingers touched something behind him again. He carefully identified it and found that it was the family emblem of the Ignaz family.
Just like the family emblem of the Melorn family is a deer head, the family emblem of the Ignaz family is a peacock.
Clement had to learn the genealogy of the nobles in the central city since he was a child, so he naturally recognized it.
He vaguely remembered that when he was young, the young master of the Ignatz family had indeed carried out blood punishment, and he had persisted the longest among all the people, persisting for a full eight times. It was said that he could not bear it in the end and committed suicide.
Could this be what the young master left behind?
Did he go under the ziggurat?
What was under the ziggurat?
Just as Clement was thinking, he heard some noise coming from outside. He immediately dragged his body away from that corner in pain. The next second, the door was opened, and a novice priest carefully poked his head in: "Mr. Meloen, how are you?"
Clement tried to keep his composure: "Not bad."
The novice priest was timid and afraid of the blood pool and even this room, so he would not wait for him in the room, but would wait until he had finished the blood punishment before opening the door and taking him away.
Clement held the wall and slowly stood up.
He looked at the novice priest's face that still retained its childishness, and an idea slowly emerged in his mind.
The aircraft quickly returned to Mosca Academy.
As soon as they got off, they were surrounded by other classmates, who wanted to hear what happened to them in the central city.
But no one dared to surround Xiao Qiong.
So Xiao Qiong took Gu Xingmian directly back to the dormitory.
Gu Xingmian jumped directly onto the bed, hugged the familiar quilt and pillow, and rolled around happily.
When he was in Central City, he was always worried, and it was not until he returned to a familiar place that he finally let go of his worries.
Xiao Qiong also relaxed a little and sat on the bed.
Gu Xingmian accidentally rolled to his side. He looked up at Xiao Qiong who was bowing his head, and suddenly thought of the same position they had in his dream.
Then, Xiao Qiong found that Gu Xingmian, who was rolling vigorously just now, suddenly blushed, and then quickly got up and sat up straight.
Xiao Qiong: “?”
Gu Xingmian realized that he had overreacted after he sat down. Seeing Xiao Qiong’s suspicious eyes looking at him, he was worried that he would question him, so he could only rack his brains to change the subject: “By the way, did you bring back the genealogy?”
He was talking about the book that recorded all the noble information they found in the home of the gay noble in Central City.
Originally, they just wanted to find the Clement family through the genealogy, but later, Gu Xingmian unexpectedly kept it and was brought back by Xiao Qiong.
Xiao Qiong took the book out of his luggage.
Gu Xingmian avoided his sight and pretended to be flipping through the book seriously.
Xiao Qiong could naturally tell that he was deliberately avoiding him. Ever since he woke up that day in Central City, Gu Xingmian had been acting a little weird.
Xiao Qiong was a little worried, but every time he asked Gu Xingmian, he dodged and said it was okay.
Xiao Qiong knew that Gu Xingmian would not harm him. Just as he said, even though they were a close relationship between a card master and a card of God, they still had the right to privacy.
So he resisted asking further questions, but his heart could not be controlled by reason. There were always some emotions that accumulated slowly when he was not aware of them.
Just like at this moment.
He couldn't suppress the irritability in his heart, but he didn't want Gu Xingmian to find out.
Under his calm face, he was anxiously trying to break out like a trapped beast.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the part of Gu Xingmian's neck that was exposed.
Even after so much training, Gu Xingmian still looked slender and fair. That small part of her neck was fragile and easy to break, but against the background of her black hair, it was as delicate as milk, making him want to...
Xiao Qiong suddenly woke up, and was shocked when he realized what he wanted to do.
He turned away to prevent the white from blinding his eyes, but he couldn't help but think back to it in his mind. The desire came like a beast, fierce and urgent, almost catching him off guard.
He closed his eyes, but thought of that night in Central City.
Gu Xingmian didn't sleep well and kept tossing and turning, so he didn't sleep either.
Later, Gu Xingmian finally fell asleep, but he couldn't sleep at all, so he just got up.
Unexpectedly, he saw Gu Xingmian turning over with the quilt in his arms, and his loose clothes were rolled up, revealing a white and supple waist. The moonlight from the window poured in, and the white seemed to reflect light, and it fell into Xiao Qiong's eyes.
When he realized it, he had already squatted beside Gu Xingmian's bed.
Gu Xingmian was sleeping soundly, with his cheek pressed against the pillow, his lips slightly pouting, his black hair a little messy, and his small earlobe exposed.
Xiao Qiong didn't know what possessed him, he actually leaned over and gently held Gu Xingmian's earlobe with his lips.
The small earlobe was soft and warm, which reminded him of the soft and warm lips during the four-school league match.
Xiao Qiong suddenly opened his eyes and took several steps back in disbelief.
If Gu Xingmian was still in his spiritual body, he would know that the storm when he saw the nobleman being gay before was nothing, and the real shock and storm was at this moment.
That night, Xiao Qiong did not sleep all night, and it was not until the early morning that he finally imprisoned the beast of desire in his heart deep in his heart.
But he did not expect that the beast would come out again at this time.
Just when he clenched his teeth and was about to suppress it again, he suddenly heard Gu Xingmian say "Huh".
Gu Xingmian handed the genealogy chart in his hand to Xiao Qiong with a solemn expression: "Take a look, does it look familiar to you?"
Xiao Qiong did not take it, but just looked at it carefully in his hand.
This is the information of a noble family named Ignatz. What Gu Xingmian showed him was the picture of the noble manor.
Indeed... it looks a bit familiar.
He looked up at Gu Xingmian.
Gu Xingmian hesitated and said, "Do you remember that when we were in Quilmo City, we killed a wanted criminal named Catherine. Later, we found a diary of hers. There was a photo of her and her brother in the diary. Isn't the background of that photo very similar to here?"
After being reminded by Gu Xingmian, Xiao Qiong also remembered it.
At that time, there was a line of words behind the photo, which read "Photographed by Anthony and Catherine", but unfortunately the words behind "Photographed by" were painted over, so they didn't know where the photo was taken.
Later, Gu Xingmian buried the photo and the diary in a place with a good view.
The two looked at each other and decided to dig up the diary.
The author has something to say:
The previous chapter was slightly revised and a little plot was added, which does not affect the logic of the story. You can read it or not.
