Chapter 140. Was the Word 'Char' Poisonous?
Ten minutes ago, in the church.
As early as before the warriors of the flame knot began to move, and before the players of Golden Butterfly City followed the crowd, a figure had already appeared here.
Jake...
After the tailor completed the class change for Einstein, he assigned him to the nearest blood trial, and he came back to complete his unfinished mission.
Before he left, Char gave him an obscure gesture that only the Rose Cross Society could understand.
It was an alarm signal.
It was not just a simple 'danger, run', but a warning about a 'disaster'.
Jake quickly realized what he meant. Char had told him before that Golden Butterfly City would soon be in chaos, so the dismembered body that he had buried in the City Lord's mansion had been dug up again, and this incident would even attract the people of the Royal Court.
In addition to the disaster warning he gave, the specific details were self-evident.
Something was about to break out of the ground of Golden Butterfly City, and the movement was big enough to alarm the Royal Court.
That was why he had rushed back here to give the warning.
Jake appeared in the church, but there were not many people there. After hanging the chosen ones from the City Lord's mansion back to the church's cemetery, they had sneaked out to watch the show. Few stayed, so the place seemed very empty.
Standing in the church, he suddenly felt a little awkward.
That was what he said, but what should he do?
He was not even 100% sure of this, so how could he convince a human priest of the United Holy Kingdom and the entire city to evacuate?
Jake stopped in his tracks and scratched his head in distress.
Although he was a local, he usually kept a straight face and did not make any friends. It was also his first time coming to the church.
What to do with this?
The tailor thought as he walked aimlessly. He walked through the long church and wanted to take a look at the courtyard first. He did not expect to meet an acquaintance.
To be precise, the two of them had only met once.
Orivande saw Jake as well. He recalled that he had brushed past him in the City Lord's residence.
This person had a neurotic aura and a deeply hidden killing intent. In addition, the City Lord's mansion disappeared after a quick glance, leaving a deep impression on him.
One of them was a murderer, and the other was a military officer. They should have been completely opposite, but at this moment, because of one person, some kind of connection was formed.
At the same time, Jake looked at Orivande with a strange expression. He recalled Char's words about Orivande growing up in a breeding base.
He really could not tell...
However...
Things seemed to be getting a little closer.
"Char asked me to tell you something," Jake said.
Hearing this name, Orivande raised an eyebrow and stopped in his tracks.
"What is it?"
As expected, there was a chance.
Jake took the opportunity to briefly describe the upcoming disaster in Golden Butterfly City, and finally put on a calm and easy posture.
If it was anyone else who said such nonsense, Orivande would have ignored it. However, this matter was related to Char.
"Did he only say this much?" He asked uncertainly.
Jake thought for a moment, his thin face twitching as he gave a half-smile.
"He also mentioned the breeding base to me."
Orivande frowned and gave him a deep look.
"I understand. Come with me."
The two of them quickly came to the chief priest of Golden Butterfly City. The latter was a kind old man. Just by standing there, as long as he pursed his lips and smiled, he exuded a calming temperament.
Orivande explained his purpose of visit in a simple manner. He maintained his experienced and unhurried manner, making Jake feel that he was talking about something that happened in the neighboring city.
This guy seemed to be too calm.
After the chief priest heard this, he revealed a contemplative expression, then raised his gray eyebrows and smiled slightly reluctantly.
"I've never heard of such a thing before."
As expected...
The two of them looked at each other.
At this moment, Jake suddenly had an idea, and he added, "Yes... Char said so."
Orivande gave him a strange look, as if he was asking, "Don't you know he's a wanted criminal?"
"Char?"
However, the chief priest was shocked.
"That Char who is wanted by the Valkyrie? That wanted criminal? Did he say that Golden Butterfly City was about to face a disaster?"
The old man was shocked, and the two of them did not know how to respond for a moment. They subconsciously nodded.
"I got it!"
The high priest immediately stood up. Although his body was trembling, he quickly walked to the church.
There was a device there that could broadcast the sound to the entire city.
It was the other two's turn to be shocked. They looked at each other, dumbfounded.
"Why did he suddenly give in the moment he heard his name?"
"Why did you give in the moment you heard his name?"
Orivande could not answer the question.
At this moment, an announcement was made throughout the city.
[All citizens, please leave as soon as possible.]
Three times in a row, and then the escape siren facing the entire city sounded, and the people each had an additional speed buff.
Jake heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, but the Elven Officer looked troubled.
"Do you think the others will agree to leave?"
"Why not?"
"The chief priest believed it because of Char, but what about the others? He can't possibly have informed everyone in advance, right?"
Jake was stunned. It seemed to make sense.
The two of them hurried to the church.
This delayed them for less than a minute, but when they arrived at the church, they saw a steady stream of players pouring in. They were a black mass with fanatical smiles on their faces, each of them shouting, "We are willing to assist the church's evacuation"
Orivande was dumbfounded, while Jake's mouth twitched. "Even if these people were to carry the people, they would have carried the people of this city out, right?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
The Elven Officer looked at the chief priest, who was wiping away his tears. The old man cried with joy and lamented that he had never seen such friendly Elves and Humans. They were indeed God's Chosen Ones.
"Pardon me for asking..." Orivande whispered, "Isn't Char a wanted criminal? Why would you believe the words of a wanted criminal?"
"Oh, it's like this..."
The chief priest wiped his tears and smiled. it was the day before the Valkyrie came. The chief priestess of the Astan City, Lady Mia, told me from thousands of miles away that the Golden Butterfly City was in trouble. I asked her why, and she said it was because Ortlinde was coming.
"What does this have to do with it?"
"I asked the same question at the time, and she said that she was here to catch Char, but she couldn't, and would be trapped by Char. Something similar happened once in Astein City, and it will happen again! That's because she looks stupid and not as smart as Char!"
At this point, the chief priest said with emotion, "Lady Mia was right. The Valkyrie is now trapped in the City Lord's mansion, and the wanted criminal Char has said so. This means that he will use the same method to deal with the Valkyrie. It is the Holy Spirits' foresight that saved us from this disaster."
Orivande's eyes widened. "Hey, are you saying that your Valkyrie is in trouble? Why don't you look anxious at all?"
"No, that's not a disaster for her. It's a growth. The Valkyrie will only become stronger and stronger through trials and tribulations. With the protection of the Holy Spirits, she will not die!" The priest said with a pious look.
