Chapter 259 Carriage
North Tivian, Cathedral District History and History Office.
Kirk sat in his office, looking at the letter in front of him and wiping the sweat from his forehead, but the chill on his body could not be dispelled at all.
At this moment, Cork's heart was beating wildly and he couldn't control it. The panic almost filled his brain. He was forcing himself to calm down.
After taking a long breath, Kirk recovered his mood a little and stared at the letter in front of him, thinking.
"I was discovered... I was discovered! Damn it, what went wrong? Who discovered me? And there was more than one person who discovered me!"
Kirk clenched his fists and tried to think carefully about what went wrong with his plan, but he couldn't figure it out. Helplessly, he could only focus his thoughts on the current situation.
'Anyway, since this letter is here, my actions have definitely been exposed. There is no doubt about it. No matter who it was leaked to, my current situation must be in danger. I must leave immediately before the people from the court arrive!
"Although this is not part of the plan now, I can't wait that long..."
Thinking of this, Coke crumpled the letter in his hand and put it back into his pocket. Then he immediately stood up and walked towards the office door. After opening the door, he walked into the hall of the History and Classics Department and walked straight to the door of the hall. Seeing this, a priest shouted.
"Sir, are you going out?"
"Haha, yes, there are still some formalities at the library that have not been completed. Go and handle it now, and I'll be back soon." Cork said to his subordinate priest with a smile, and then he quickly walked through the bustling and noisy hall.
After leaving the historical office, Cork quickly walked through a series of corridors, went down the stairs, stepped into the square of the church area, and walked among the ordinary citizens who came to pray, heading towards a more remote path.
There are many ways to enter and exit the church area, and the most convenient one is the main gate. Once you go out there, you will be on the main trunk of the city. You can immediately take a taxi and leave quickly, but the guard force is also sufficient.
Cork was now unsure whether the guards had received news about him, and there were many spies at the main gate, so he didn't dare to go through the main gate at all. So after leaving the square, he went into a path and chose a relatively remote alley to leave the church area.
After walking quickly in the deserted alleys for a while, Cork finally walked out of the church area and came to a cobblestone road. Since it was not a main road, there were few people here and there was no carriage on the road.
"We need to go to the main road and find a carriage..."
Looking at the desolate scene on the path, Cork had such thoughts in his heart. Just as he was about to leave, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distant corner. A black horse-drawn carriage was driving over from a distance. Seeing this, Cork's eyes lit up. A car passed by. His luck was pretty good.
Without hesitation, Cork immediately waved to the carriage, and the coachman immediately pulled the reins to stop the horse.
"Where are you going, Reverend Father?"
With a respectful tone and wearing a standard uniform, the young coachman said to Cork in a very polite manner, and Cork responded immediately.
"West District, Redthorn Road."
"West District? Yes, sir, please get in." The coachman responded. After hearing the coachman's words, Cork immediately opened the door and got in. After he closed the door, the carriage immediately set off, driving away from the church district. Looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, Cork breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh... Now that we have left the church area, we are safe for the time being. The most urgent thing now is to go to those guys' base and tell them what happened.
"In short, I can no longer stay in the church now. I can only consider formally joining them. This is something I will only plan for the future. What a pity."
Cork, who was sitting in the carriage, thought so. According to his original plan, he should continue to lurk in the church, cooperate with the association he secretly contacted outside, and find ways to steal more benefits from the church, and then leave the church and join the association at the last moment. However, due to this wave of accidents, his series of plans had to be brought forward.
"But fortunately, the target of this operation has been found, and I have brought a little with me to join them. They should give me a good position."
Touching the hard object in his robe, Cork thought to himself that the secret document he was carrying could be regarded as his token of allegiance. He hoped that this secret document that he had stolen with great effort could gain more benefits for his new association.
Just like this, as Cork continued to ponder, the carriage moved forward all the way. However, what Cork did not notice was that the carriage did not drive on the main road from beginning to end, but instead kept moving forward through various winding paths, and there were fewer and fewer people around.
Cork, who has been doing academic research in the church district all year round, seldom goes out. When he found that there was something wrong with the surrounding environment, the carriage had already driven into a long and dilapidated alley with very few people around.
"I haven't driven on the main road yet. There's something wrong with this car..."
"Stop the car! I'm staying right here."
Without asking the driver any more questions, Cork spoke directly, and the driver immediately and slowly stopped the carriage.
"Okay, then, here it is. Please take your time, sir."
The driver in the driver's seat responded with a ceremonial voice, and Kirk stretched out his hand to open the door and prepare to go out.
"There seems to be something wrong with this car. We must get out now, otherwise if we are led into a trap then... um..."
Before Cork opened the door, a sharp blade shot out from under the wooden seat of the carriage and stabbed Cork in the back. Cork, who was stabbed in the back in this narrow space, had no time to dodge and was pierced directly in the back. He couldn't help but let out a scream.
Cork didn't expect that the car was not leading him to a trap, but the car itself was a trap.
'There's someone under the seat...why didn't I notice it!'
