Chapter 207 Tia in Danger

I had just recovered from what happened last night and the atmosphere was pretty good, but he insisted on talking about irrelevant things.

It's really inexplicable.

Walking on the street, Tia still had a cold expression, thinking about the episode that had just happened in her mind.

While walking quickly, he subconsciously kicked the stones under his feet with the toes of his boots.

For some reason, during breakfast, that guy suddenly brought up something related to the Moonlight Scripture.

This made her subconsciously think of Brother Xia.

Tia naturally knew something about this ancient ritual of the Church of Silence.

I only know that this is one of the duties that a saint must fulfill.

This is the most grand ceremony in the entire church, held every three years, and this ceremony is also the first time that Tia has participated in as the Saint of Silence.

On this day, believers of the Church of Silence would gather at the ceremony site and devoutly call upon the Moon Goddess.

And the gods will respond to their believers and display their miracles at the appropriate time.

In fact, every church has similar festivals, but the Church of Silence seems to hold them particularly frequently, which seems to be related to the authority held by the Goddess of the Bright Moon.

Strictly speaking, Tia didn't know much about the Moonlight Scripture. She only knew that when the festival came, as a saint, she had to serve as the "vessel" for the coming of the Moon Goddess, in order to perform miracles and win people's hearts.

This has been the case with all saints of all generations, so naturally she wouldn’t miss it.

But whenever Tia asked about the deeper reasons behind this matter, the nun always looked very secretive.

Until one night, she accidentally heard the words "selection" and "perfect container" from the bishop who was plotting something.

Although she didn't understand, every time she thought about the Moonlight Scripture, she would feel a little bad.

Although she had confessed this countless times, and Tia believed that her faith in the goddess was extremely pure and noble, she felt a kind of resistance deep in her soul when she thought that her body would be used as an object by others.

I always feel that if I really do this, I will become unlike myself.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Tia felt bad after hearing this topic.

As said before.

When the Moonlight Scripture was mentioned, the first person that came to her mind was Brother Xia.

Just because there was an agreement between the two of them.

Because of the blessing on him, Tia and Xia have been in love with each other for so long, but they have never done anything intimate. Even holding hands is just a brief experience.

Although Xia always said that it was okay, Tia actually had some unspeakable guilt in her heart all along.

Not to mention that she had learned from the banned book that Louise secretly took that men all have a thing called "desire".

As lovers, helping each other relieve their desires is actually a very common thing.

But because of the blessing, Tia couldn't do anything.

Therefore, long ago, Tia promised on the demon battlefield at the border that after the Moonlight Ceremony was over and the blessing on her body was lifted, she would dedicate everything to Xia.

This was an unspoken agreement between the two.

In addition, the Moon Goddess also holds the power over beauty and ugliness, so Tia also has the idea of ​​presenting herself to her beloved in the most perfect appearance.

But how could she have expected at that time that the direction of the future would deviate to such an inexplicable situation?

Just last night, she had masturbated a young boy whom she had only known for a short time, and even used her own saliva as lubrication.

Not to mention the kiss before.

So when Lin En mentioned the Moonlight Scripture, the first thing Tia thought of was this agreement.

This is also the main reason why she is in a bad mood.

Even she herself didn't realize that when she was with that guy, she thought of Xia very few times.

Maybe it was because of guilt that he didn't want her to think about it, or maybe there was some kind of change in his heart.

In short, the unknown future led by this change is so strange and unpredictable.

“.”

Looking at the gradually setting sun and after confirming again and again that no one was following her, Tia temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

No matter what, he had already invested so much sunk costs, even the reputation of the Silent Saint was at stake.

What I said to Lin En before, "The church will not punish her," was actually a lie.

The entire church was in chaos when their own saint ran off with a criminal of unknown origin. The bishop was so angry that he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage, fearing that the Moonlight Canon would be affected as scheduled.

Moreover, the other two major churches would not miss the opportunity to step on them and took the opportunity to do many things to smear them.

This was undoubtedly a serious blow to the church's prestige among the people.

Although she is called the Silent Saint on the surface, to put it bluntly, she is actually a vessel. She has to live her whole life to serve the goddess, and even marriage does not allow her freedom.

Under such circumstances, what Tia did could not be described as unorthodox.

The Church of Silence was merciful for not imprisoning her for life, so how could they not punish her? With such a huge sunk cost, Tia Euhesti had gambled everything she had, with the only goal being to ensure that her and the nuns' savior could survive.

Otherwise, this will become a lifelong demon in her heart.

When she came to her senses, Tia found herself at the street where the Black Street Market was located.

Although it is a black street market, what actually comes into view is a dilapidated neighborhood like a slum, with old houses and broken buildings everywhere, as if it had experienced a war.

The entire block is also filled with gang members and various wild supernatural beings who hide their identities and come to seek help.

Rather than a market, this place is more like a bandit’s stronghold.

And because there is a clear distinction between the lower town and the upper town, the nobles living in the upper town are too lazy.

Over time, the entire northern part of downtown became synonymous with chaos and filth, and gradually evolved into a lawless area.

Here, you can buy any banned items on the market, as well as all the extraordinary items you can think of, even moonlight essence can be found.

If you have money, you can also assign a killer to kill any enemy - provided you can afford the price.

In comparison, sneaking out of the city during martial law was extremely easy for these merchants and scoundrels who mingled in all kinds of places.

The thing that is most abundant in this world is methods.

As long as there is a demand and people are willing to pay a sufficient price for this demand, there will be people who will take the risk, even to assassinate Emperor Saint Laurent.

This was also Tia's last resort.

Logically speaking, the high and mighty Saint of Silence should have nothing to do with a place like this.

At this moment, after repeated disguises, Tia looked like just an ugly and gloomy girl.

Therefore, when she stepped into the black street market, only a few stalkers wandering not far away cast a vague glance at her and then quickly looked away.

Seeing this, Tia quickened her pace with an expressionless face and headed towards the place agreed upon with the informant in advance.

When I went out this morning, it wasn't just to buy breakfast for Lynn, but more to connect with that guy.

The other person's name is Julie. She is a street gang girl that Tia accidentally rescued when she was on a mission to capture the Church of Silence. She has been hanging around in the North District for many years and is considered to be familiar with the place.

That's why she found the other person when she encountered trouble this time.

Soon, Tia followed the route on the map and arrived at the door of a tavern called "Hound".

"Julie?"

Even from a distance, Tia saw the other person's figure.

She was a short-haired girl with heavy makeup, her slender waist and long thighs exposed.

No matter how many times she watched it, Tia always felt it was somewhat immoral.

At this moment, the other party was leaning against the wall of the tavern, looking around.

After hearing the familiar call, Julie paused for a moment, then showed a somewhat stiff smile: "This way!"

At that moment, Tia read a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

This made her body tense instantly.

What happened? Tia's heart was filled with unprecedented vigilance as she slowly walked towards her.

At the same time, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong around her.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

I used to think it was a feature of the black street market.

But now it seems that it is a bit too quiet.

Even though there has been a recent curfew, it shouldn't be so deserted. There will always be wild supernatural beings who will take risks to get the seals and supernatural materials they need.

But the reality did not give her too much time to think.

When she came to her senses, she had already reached the door of the tavern.

"Sister Tia, you're finally here?" The girl from the underworld held her hand with a happy expression, "It's been a long time since you saved me from the last gang fight."

"I was thinking about how I could repay you, but since our statuses are so different, I didn't dare to go to the church to look for you."

"So I'm really glad that you took the initiative to contact me this time."

The girl named Julie chattered.

However, in Tia's opinion, the girl in front of her was extremely abnormal.

At this moment, the other person's palms were covered with sweat, and there was a slight tremor.

Not only that, the bruised palm prints were clearly visible on the neck covered by the scarf.

However, these were not the main reasons that aroused Tia's suspicion.

The most important point is.

She didn't rescue the other party at the scene of the gang fight at all.

Did I remember it wrong?

impossible.

Next, I will go to meet the leader of the black market, "Hound" Frank. There is no need to reminisce about the past at this time, and it is meaningless to bring up this topic.

All the strange signs indicated that there seemed to be some kind of trap waiting for her in this black street market.

“.”

Tia took a deep breath.

At the moment, escaping directly is undoubtedly the best option. As a fourth-level transcendent, it would be difficult for the other party to keep her even if they set up a tight net.

But this was not what she wanted.

If I leave, what will happen to that guy? Every day I stay in Glostin, the probability of being discovered by the official extraordinary people will increase by one point.

What's more, although he never complained, his injuries were still very serious and he was not completely out of danger. He had to be treated as soon as possible.

So although there seemed to be many choices before her, there was actually only one way to go.

That is to go out of the city through the black street market.

Therefore, even though she knew there might be a trap ahead, she had no choice but to take the risk.

"Don't be afraid, Julie. Take me to see him."

Tia gently squeezed the other person's hand to comfort her.

Of course she knew that it was not the girl in front of her who betrayed her.

Seeing that she understood what she meant, Julie immediately revealed a smile that was uglier than crying, with a hint of despair in her eyes: "Sister Tia, I'm sorry, I..."

"Pa pa pa pa pa"

Before she could finish her words, applause suddenly broke out in the tavern.

At the same time, Julie's face instantly turned purple, and her facial features were distorted to the extreme, as if all the oxygen in her body had been drained away in an instant.

In just a moment, he fell to the ground with a thump.

From her bleeding facial features and red eyes, it could be seen that the girl had completely lost her life and died in extreme pain.

It happened extremely unexpectedly.

It was so sudden that there was still a trace of surprise on Tia's face. She just subconsciously reached out to pull her, but still failed to prevent this life from dying.

"Should I say you are brave or arrogant?" At the same time, the man who was applauding in the tavern walked out slowly and looked at Tia with a teasing look, "You have been wanted by the whole city for a long time, and you are still seriously injured, but you came to me so recklessly."

"Knowing that the only way for you is to escape, who can't guess that your only goal is to leave the city?"

"And to be frank, there are only a few options for leaving the city. Do you think that all the smart people in Glostin are dead, and you didn't think of the black street market as a channel?"

At this moment, Tia, immersed in the sorrow of Julie's death, slowly raised her head.

What came into view was a bald strong man with a scar on his face. There was a shrewd gleam in his eyes. The look in his eyes was mixed with strange greed, as if he was examining her as some kind of item with a clear price tag.

Obviously.

The person in front of him was Frank, the "Hound" who was the boss of the entire North District black street market.

He is also the person she is going to meet today.

"Who instructed you?"

Tia's voice was indifferent and cold, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in her emerald green eyes.

At the same time, the ethereal power of the moonlight faintly bloomed from all over his body.

There was no fear in Frank's eyes, instead he smiled indifferently.

At the same time, countless figures slowly appeared from all directions, releasing a powerful aura unique to high-level transcendents.

Even though the other party is a fourth-level transcendent, he has already set up a tight net here and is destined to capture her alive.

Therefore, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Remember Councilman Black, who was ruined for life by Lynn Bartleron?" Frank smiled playfully. "The Cortes family asked me to say hello to you on their behalf. Although strictly speaking, this debt should not be counted on you."

(ps: Both of the impacted teeth have been extracted. I have nothing to do this month and will not be absent from work. Also, no one should be able to guess where the plot will go next. Big things are coming!) (End of this chapter)
