Late night rescue
When the old woman saw that the young priest was willing to help, she was immediately delighted and thanked her, then hurried home to her belongings and quickly handed them over to Gallo.
On the other hand, the sheriffs on the side inevitably complained about what Gallo was doing:
"Reverend Gallo, don't get into trouble at a time like this, right?"
"the old man's grandson has been missing for several days. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with this incident."
He is also telling the truth that the case of missing persons is very common in the ghost place of the city of innocence. Not long ago, there was a mystery that a whole town disappeared in York town next door.
Although the city of innocence appears to be prosperous, it has been surging undercurrent behind its back, never stopped, no one can control it, and criminals like skull crusher are still at large.
All kinds of countries, sects and forces regard this place as a fragrant steamed bun fighting for every inch of land, and even the lich, a dead creature, has always coveted it and wants to be involved.
No one can say why the city of innocence is so popular, maybe only the gods know it.
All in all, there is nothing wrong with the sheriff's hope that Gallo will not be distracted by chores.
But Gallo has its own insistence:
"I have a hunch that there is something to do with these two things."
"there is only one truth, and we can't give up the slightest clue!"
"if you can, can you inquire about any other cases of disappearance here?"
Although the sheriffs thought that Gallo was a little too sensitive, they had no choice but to ask their immediate boss to listen to the arrangement of Gallo, so they had to continue to inquire.
As a result, after this inquiry, we learned that in this village alone, over the past three months, more than 20 people have disappeared one after another, more than the followers of the Miya sect!
And I heard that there are also people missing in several villages next door. If you add up these missing people, I'm afraid there will be hundreds of them!
However, because these people are not missing at once, but one after another, the intervals are inconsistent, and there is no fixed rule, so they do not attract much attention and are regarded as accidents.
After all, these villages are not far from the border of the empire, and there are alien races, bandits, cults and so on from time to time; they are also relatively close to the ruins and wilderness, and they are occasionally attacked by beasts, Warcraft, and even all kinds of demons, so it's not uncommon to go missing once in a while.
But more than 20 people have disappeared in half a year, which is enough to arouse vigilance, and even the sheriffs are aware of this.
They even suspected that the anonymous letter was sent by a relative of a missing person. He may have realized earlier that something was wrong and thought of the cult. After all, it was the cult that caused the most disappearance of people. It is also very common for the whole village to believe in a cult. This person should be afraid of being discovered by a cult and retaliate, so he chose to write anonymously.
Gallo hurriedly asked someone to find the belongings of the missing people, and then quickly took the sheriffs back to the Miya church and asked the old bishop to help with divination.
With the personal belongings of the divination target, the accuracy of divination will be greatly increased.
The old bishop got busy at once.
However, divination is still disturbed.
"it seems that this case is really unusual. I used my personal belongings to help with divination, but it was still disturbed."
"but the scope of the final decision has been narrowed down a little bit."
The old bishop looked at the slightly shrunken wreath on the map and then began to predict the whereabouts of the next missing man.
He did more than a dozen divination in one breath, and finally narrowed the wreath to a barely acceptable range.
It is a forest located in the northwest outside the city, some distance from the village of the original destination, has been close to a mountain called 'Serpent', over which is the great mysterious and dangerous wasteland of 'abandoned relics'.
The road from the city of innocence to those villages basically spreads along the outer edge of the forest.
"so it must be some dangerous thing in the ruins of the wilderness that has come to these woods and lurked down to attack passers-by?"
"but it doesn't have a big appetite, and there are very few people attacking each time, so it hasn't attracted much attention."
"and Lieutenant Wintini must have found something wrong and ran to death with her men."
Gallo guessed the whole story and then said:
"anyway, just go and have a look."
He was ready to start at once.
The old bishop hurriedly advised:
"although I don't know what kind of means are used, it can even interfere with my divination. It must be very dangerous. You must be careful!"
"and this trip is mainly about finding and saving people, and you need more help, so don't act alone, take those sheriffs with you."
"if you need to do it, keep it as low-key and secretive as possible."
Gallo nodded again and again, answered, and quickly called the sheriffs to set out again.
It was almost dusk, and everyone had been messing about all day early in the morning, but Gallo was all right, the others were very tired, and now they had to venture into a dangerous forest at night.
But in order to save the lives of colleagues, no one complained, and no one was afraid to refuse.
Sure enough, the sheriff of Section Nine is not like other sheriffs.
So it took the crowd several hours, near the wee hours of the morning, to reach the area marked by the old bishop, which was already deep in the woods, and no one's horses could get in except Gallo's little donkey.
There was such a dead silence that you could not even hear the tiny sound of insects, and the weather was not very good tonight. There was no moon in the sky, and it looked spooky and frightening only by torches to provide some faint lighting.
If ordinary people come to such a place, they will be too afraid to walk.
But these sheriffs are not afraid at all, and they are looking forward to some powerful magic thing to fight against it for three hundred times!
At the same time, Didn't feel tired and felt energetic and wanted to run wild in the woods.
They even have the energy to shout Wintini's name:
"Lieutenant! Lieutenant, are you there? "
"Lieutenant, come on out! We won't laugh at you for not having a boyfriend anymore! "
"Lieutenant, marry me! If you don't agree, you'll take it as an acquiescence! "
Of course, this is all thanks to divine technique, the third-order divine technique, of the asylum system, which is durable and fanatical.
In fact, Gallo would rather use those heroic prayers and hymns of courage that cannot be used without permission, but the old bishop said to keep a low profile and regretfully chose these simple divine technique.
