Chapter 5013 Contact
Conquer the southern coast of the sea, Port Kankerdar.
In the dark night, a bright and clear crescent moon was hanging high in the sky. The bustling port city fell into silence at this moment, with only a few street corners still lit.
In the foreign residential area of Kankedal, on the top of a tall building near the Dove Hotel, a cool evening breeze, different from the heat wave during the day, blew over it, blowing up the flag on the roof and the clothes not far away.
On the rooftop where the night wind was howling, a figure wearing a traditional Beiwu robe, a headscarf and a face scarf was standing on the edge, remaining motionless despite the strong wind. The eyes on the figure's head were staring ahead, and the target of his gaze was the nearby Yige Hotel, a suite on the third floor.
As the figure was staring, there was a sudden movement on the roof of the building. Behind the figure, a phantom appeared out of thin air. Not long after, a translucent phantom image slowly emerged, showing the image of a nun.
Appearing behind the prying figure, Evie looked at the sound coming from the edge of the floor in front of him, and observed it silently for a while, then slowly spoke.
"My dear guest, you have been standing on the rooftop for so long, don't you feel cold? Would you like to sit inside?"
Hearing the voice behind him, the figure on the edge of the roof suddenly paused, then slowly turned around and focused his gaze on Evie who suddenly appeared. His expression seemed unable to hide his surprise, but he quickly returned to normal, and then he slowly spoke.
"Who are you? Are you spying on Sister Vanya as well?"
The robed figure spoke to Evie in front of him in a steady male voice in pure Northern Utopia. Evie responded calmly to the words of the robed voice.
"It's surveillance... it's also protection. I came to Kankedar on orders from the Holy Mountain to ensure that the devout believers will not be framed by conspiracy and malicious intent. So, you who came here without a clear origin, please explain your purpose. What do you want to do by spying on Sister Vanya?"
With a hint of danger in his tone, Evie stared at the robed man in front of him and spoke slowly. Looking at the translucent nun in front of him, the robed man froze for a few seconds, then he looked at Evie and spoke slowly in a vigilant tone.
"People from Mount Saint? Protection? Humph... Based on the information I know, the investigation team from Mount Saint got involved with the bastards from the Kankedar Guards as soon as they arrived at the port today. They came here non-stop to arrest Sister Vanya. What do you mean by protection? When it was just the Kankedar bastards alone, they didn't dare to act alone."
The man in the robe said this to Evie. Listening to his words, Evie's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and then he continued to speak.
"From what you said, it seems that you are on Sister Vanya's side."
"No one from Shenglin Mountain has any right to interfere with my position..." the man in the robe spoke with undiminished momentum. Listening to his words, Evie looked at him with interest and then continued speaking.
"You are from the Northern Wu, hostile to the guards of Kankedal, and you stand on the side of Sister Vanya... I think you are from Shadi..."
Evie spoke this directly to the man in the robe, and determined the other party's origin in one sentence. After hearing Evie's words, the man in the robe's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of disbelief.
"No...you guessed wrong. I have nothing to do with the revolutionary general of Adus."
"Oh, you don't need to deny anything. I have no opinion on General Shadi. I hope you can understand that in the Holy Land, there are different attitudes towards Shadi and Sister Vanya... Please think about it, if the Holy Land really wants to arrest Sister Vanya, why is she still there now?"
With a slight smile, Evie spoke to the robed man in front of him. Listening to Evie's words, the robed man couldn't help but pause slightly, and then continued speaking.
"You mean... the reason why the previous investigation teams failed to arrest Sister Vanya was because you were obstructing them?"
"Yes, the power from Holy Mountain must be stopped... I have said before that I am here to stop the spread of malicious conspiracies. If you really stand on Sister Vanya's side, you can trust me. Now only I can protect Sister Vanya in front of the Inquisitor... So stranger, be honest with me. While I still have patience, I will communicate with you in a normal way..."
Evie spoke silently to the robed man in front of him. Hearing Evie's words, the robed man couldn't help but pause, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. Finally, after thinking it over again and again, he sighed and admitted it.
"Yes, I am indeed General Shadi's subordinate. Sister Vanya's delegation suffered heavy losses in the incident in Addis. When Sister Vanya was returning to Kankedar, General Shadi was worried that her guards were insufficient, so he sent us to accompany her secretly for protection. We had no problems along the way, but we didn't expect to encounter such a thing when we arrived at our destination."
The man in the robe responded to Evie in front of him seriously. After hearing what the man in the robe said, Evie nodded silently, with a look of confusion in her eyes, and then she continued to ask.
"On the day of the assassination at the South Station, Sister Vanya was inexplicably accused but escaped. A thick red fog with spiritual traces appeared at the scene to cover Sister Vanya's rescue efforts. Did you do all this?"
"Yes, when we were secretly observing, we found that Sister Vanya was possessed by an alien ghost who wanted to control her to assassinate, so at the critical moment, I helped Sister Vanya suppress the possessed spirit and exorcised the spirit. The first guard of the delegation who was possessed was also subdued. But what I didn't expect was that in addition to the possessed spirit, they also planted ordinary people as undercovers in the train crew...
"Afterwards, the assassination was completed by the undercover agent. Sister Vanya wanted to rescue her but was blocked. I realized that something was wrong and that the guards might be in cahoots with the assassin, so I used extraordinary items to create conditions for Sister Vanya to receive treatment and recover some of the damage."
The man in the robe silently described to Evie the situation at the assassination scene that day. The details were so sufficient that Evie felt as if he was there. After listening to the man in the robe's explanation, Evie thought for a while and then spoke again.
"So that's the case... Then where did the extraordinary item you mentioned come from?"
"I bought it on the black market. I wanted to buy a life-saving item, so the black marketeer introduced it to me. It's a mist that can heal wounds and is not afraid of being blown away. It's said to be a product of other extraordinary associations, but I don't know where it came from..."
The robed man spoke directly to Evie. After hearing these words, Evie nodded slightly and then continued.
"Then... I have another question now, which is what is Shadi's current attitude? Has she really broken with the heresy?"
"Mukhtar is dead. The general can no longer compromise with the savior faction in the country. His attitude has been written in the secret letter to you. As long as the general completes the integration, Adus will immediately declare the Three Saints the only legal status in the country..." The man in the robe responded directly, and Evi raised his eyebrows and continued to speak.
"So... what about the Heavenly Judge Cult?"
Hearing Evie's words, the man in the robe paused, then remained silent for a while, and then responded cautiously.
"The Three Saints will be the only official faith of Adus, and the secret societies and sects that exist under the public faith are difficult to eliminate. Isn't this the same for most countries on the main continent?"
