Chapter 24 Kelsey's Plan
Uru has always been very nervous when facing the Knight Commander Kelce.
Not to mention now, Uruming knew that the person the Knight Commander was looking for all over the town was him, but he still stood in front of the Knight Commander, which seemed like he was walking into a trap.
But this is not Uru's origin. If it were not for Lord Visas' request, he would not dare to appear in front of Kelse.
But this was exactly what Lord Visas asked for, and he couldn't refuse. He also knew that Lord Visas was right - "If you don't come to find him, do you have to wait for him to come to you?"
Especially at such times, we should turn passivity into initiative.
Ulu took a deep breath and then folded his hands over his chest.
This was ostensibly a prayer, but in reality it was to enable Bai Wei to see more clearly.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Kelsey," Uru said, "but I feel I have to come here. Obviously, something is happening in this town, and Father Luigi has not come back. You were unwilling to tell me what happened last night... Honestly, I don't think this is very appropriate for me as a priest here."
After hearing what Uru said, Kelsey narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at Ulu and read a hint of nervousness in Ulu's eyes, but this did not surprise him because he always knew that Ulu was afraid of him.
There was nothing wrong with Uru's words, so Kelsey didn't think too much about it, so he said calmly: "You don't have to wait for Luji, the old guy is dead."
Ulu's eyes widened, and he made a very appropriate expression of surprise: "Dead?! What's going on?!"
"It's simple, because he took something he shouldn't have taken." Kelsey said calmly, "Then he was killed by the cult, and now the thing has been taken away by the cult. We are now looking for that thing."
After saying that, Kelsey waved his hand, as if he didn't want to reveal any more information.
"That's all you need to know. Let's go."
Hearing Kelsey telling him to hurry up, Ulu felt relieved. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but the finger that did not belong to him gently tapped the back of his hand, which froze him in place.
Wu Lu knew what this meant. After all, Bai Wei had already told him everything on the way here. Now he wanted to run, but Bai Wei stopped him.
There was no other way. After taking a deep breath, Ulu still stammered towards Kelce's back, "Yes, something related to fingers, right?"
Kelsey paused, then turned his head sharply and stared at Ulu with murderous eyes: "How did you know?"
Following his move, the rest of the knights gathered around him, their eyes locked on Uru's hands.
At this moment, Ulu's heart was in his throat.
He knew that if his explanation didn't satisfy Kelsey, he would have to die here, so he forced himself to remain calm and said what he and Bai Wei had agreed on: "I was checked three or four times by the knights on the way here. Everyone had to look at my middle finger and thumb... To be honest, it's hard for me not to think about it this way."
After listening to Uru's explanation, the murderous intent in Kelse's eyes gradually dissipated.
He glanced behind Ulu and thought that there were indeed several checkpoints from the church to this side, and Ulu was not an ignorant person, so it was normal for him to think about what that thing was when his hands were checked like this.
Kelce waved his hand, and the knights surrounding Uru immediately retreated. Kelce's expression gradually became playful: "You know a lot."
Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Ulu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Haha, I know a little bit about that person's body parts... Of course, it's just based on this level of knowledge."
"Haha, since you already know all this, what else do you want to know?" Kelse looked at Ulu with a smile.
"Well, I just wanted to ask if there is anything I can help you with. After all, I am also a clergyman..."
"You just need to hand out some porridge in the church." Kelsey interrupted Uru, "This is our job as a logistics staff. We don't need to think about it so much. What do you think?"
Seeing that Kelsey had said so much, Uru took a deep breath in front of Kelsey and forced a smile: "Okay, I get it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Looking at Wu Lu's lonely back, Kelsey felt that it was a bit meaningless to let him go back like this, so he called Wu Lu: "Actually, you can help if you really want to."
Ulu turned his head and looked at Kelsey with some surprise.
Kelsey shook the paper in his hand and said, "This is the method Bishop Corey came up with for dealing with [Taboo Item 29]. That is, plug your ears with earplugs so that you don't hear the sound of the finger snap."
"Don't hear the sound of the finger snapping... Is that okay?"
"Yes." Kelsey spread his hands and said with a smile, "It's that simple. After all, it's just a finger and has no offensive power. So if you really encounter the cultist who stole [Forbidden Item 29], don't hesitate, just plug your ears and go and kill him. As long as you catch him, it will definitely be the greatest achievement, and Bishop Corey will definitely transfer you back to the East Church."
Then, Uru left.
The knights asked Kelsey in confusion: "Captain Knight, is blocking your ears the way to deal with [Forbidden Item 29] (Middle Finger)?"
"Of course, I didn't lie to him."
"Hasn't the Bishop figured out the method for [Forbidden Item 24] (Thumb)?"
Kelsey glanced at the knight who asked the question and said with a smile, "Of course we have researched it. Whether it is [Forbidden Item 29] or [Forbidden Item 24], the bishop has given a way to deal with it."
The knight was even more puzzled: "Then why don't you tell him everything?"
"Why should we tell him everything?" Kelsey said calmly, "Anyway, with this guy's strength, if he encounters a cultist, they can kill him without using the power of the forbidden item."
"Then why do you..."
Kelsey replied calmly: "What is Article 20 of the Rhine Code?"
Article 20 of the Rhine Code...
The knight was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood everything and stopped asking questions.
Because Article 20 of the Rhine Code states: When a Rhine clergyman encounters a "taboo object", if he does not understand the rules of the "taboo object", he can retreat immediately. If he understands the rules of the "taboo object", he must seal it. If he retreats when he understands the rules, he will be considered dereliction of duty and will be sentenced according to the degree of harm caused by the taboo object (those who encounter the top 100 taboo objects will be hanged).
Kelsey looked at Ulu's back calmly.
Luggie is dead, and he died for the serious crime of possessing a forbidden object. It will be very troublesome for the church to track him down in the future. Kelsey and Luggie happen to have some unclear relationship.
Only two people knew about these relationships, one was Bishop Cory, and the other was...Father Uru.
So, to be on the safe side, Kelsey had to make some arrangements for his "old lover".
It is the best choice to let him go on the road with Lu Ji.
Luji, Ulu...
When these two names were linked together, Kelsey suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.
What was this guy doing when I first met Ulu yesterday?
Kelsey stopped and thought for a moment, then remembered something.
Uru seemed to have asked him to help mail a letter, and the letter was from Luji to Bishop Cory. But Luji ran away that night, so why did he mail a letter to Bishop Cory during the day?
Kelsey felt something was wrong and immediately looked through his things, and then found the letter.
Still here.
Kelsey didn't care that the letter was addressed to Bishop Corey, and immediately opened it and read it carefully.
The content of the letter was normal, full of details of those shady transactions.
But Lugi has already got Visas' finger, why would he care about these things?
Kelsey still felt something was wrong, and then his eyes slowly moved up to the top of the letter paper, where there was a red spot.
He rubbed it with his fingers, then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
It's blood.
