Chapter 256 The Mystery of Immortality
An hour had passed since the five men had been looking at Bastoli's body lying on the ground. He never woke up like he had done the previous two times.

"This time... he's really dead."

Kogan swallowed his saliva and spoke carefully. This man was first shot in the head by himself, and then his internal organs were pierced by Carol's ancient relics. Finally, he became a sacrifice in the mouth of Captain Ricky's god.

Logically speaking, he should be dead, but Kougan felt a little uneasy in his heart. This priest of the Wisdom Cult who called himself Bastoli exuded an indescribable temperament.

"Go get some firewood later and burn him completely to ashes in the backyard."

This was the best solution Carol could think of. He bent down and put all of Bastoli's personal belongings into a bag.

"Mr. Hoss, please call your assistant and have him hide Bastoli's carriage and copper box in a hidden place. We will take them away and deal with them when the matter of Novidon is over."

Mili Tang was worried that other members of the Wisdom Cult would come looking for her, so she could only make the following arrangements:

"Mr. Bean, shall we burn the bodies first, and then enter Novedon at night? Mr. Bean."

After coming out of the dream, Liu Yonglu was still thinking about what Bastoli said in the dream and the strange smile on his face. It seemed that he had anticipated his death a long time ago.

Or was it part of his plan to have him sacrificed to the Toad?
Forget it. It's unrealistic to guess what a lunatic is thinking. Whether he is dead or alive, he can't change the plan we made before coming here.

"Stop daydreaming and quickly order BK. We'll sneak into the city later. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

At Liu Yonglu's command, the five men started to work. Old Hoss's assistant had been guarding the back door after evacuating the waiters in the store. At this moment, he drove the carriage according to Hoss's arrangement and hid Bastoli's things in a barn.

Liu Yonglu and his friends lit a bonfire in the backyard, and Millie Tang set up several forbidden spells in the backyard to prevent any accidents.

Nothing unexpected happened during the burning process. The smell of burning was wafting, the flames were burning, and the smoke was spiraling up. It seemed as if Bastoli was really dead and had never appeared in the world before.

"Master, let the brothers help with the aftermath. Can we head straight to Novidon without stopping?"

In the carriage, Millie Tang and three other people gave a detailed introduction to the escort plan for the next few days. Although the idea was from Liu Yonglu, the details still had to be perfected by her.

Not only Hoss, but also Kogan and Carol nodded frequently. This plan was indeed bold and unexpected enough. It would be difficult for the assassins to guess it.

With Huos around, entering the city was naturally not a problem. After entering the city, Shi Weitian and his men lowered their hats. If they wanted to carry out this plan, they must not leak the news in advance.

Outside Nicholas's estate, Old Hoss knocked on a merchant's door.

"Corbin, I might have to stay at your house for two days."

The person who opened the door was a tall and strong man. He must have had a good figure when he was young, but his figure had changed a little as he got older. He had a big belly that made the light-colored wool sweater he was wearing bulge out.

"Hoss...why are you here? Please come in."

"Corbin was my former comrade-in-arms, and later he started a business. Nicholas's manor was built in the wealthy area of ​​Novedon. The hotels around here all accommodate businessmen from wealthy families. Although the environment is good, the identity checks are also strict.

If you want to keep a low profile and hide your tracks, it is not safe to stay in a hotel."

Liu Yonglu nodded. As expected of an old criminal investigator, he had rich experience.

Corbin is an old widower with only a few family members. His children are all busy with their own work outside. The house is big, and you can see the front of Nicholas Manor from the third floor. It is indeed an ideal temporary base.

……

Liu Yonglu and his companions stayed in Noviden, and old Hoss's assistant found an abandoned barn and threw Bastoli's carriage and heavy copper box into it.

He found a lock, locked the door, marked it on the map, and then rode out of the barn.

"crunch, crunch..."

A few hours later, in the dark barn, a teeth-grinding sound was faintly heard from the copper box on the carriage, as if someone was scratching the brass shell with fingernails inside the copper box!

...On the outskirts of New Neuland, at Canary Wharf, Painter's Hat was directing believers to load goods onto the ship. It was time to go to Novidon.

"Alva, Mr. Wordsworth wants you to go down to the lower cabin."

The believers had changed into black robes at this time. There was no way to hide their tracks this time, and everyone was ready for battle.

"I see, but there are seven or eight carriages that suddenly came today. What are they for?"

"Mr. Wordsworth will tell you. You will know in a moment."

After giving his instructions, the believer walked towards the team of carriages and made his own arrangements.

Painter Hat entered the blue freighter. As soon as he pushed open the door of the lowest cabin, he felt a damp breath blowing towards him. There was no light on in the cabin. With the light from the corridor, he could only vaguely see the figure sitting cross-legged next to the huge statue.

"Alva, you will take a boat around to the port on the east side of New Nurent and wait for an ambush."

"And you, Mr. Wordsworth?"

Alva also heard something wrong. The original plan was for everyone to take a boat to assassinate Nicholas, but why did they suddenly change the plan so close to departure?

"I'm going to Novedon by land."

"Mr. Wordsworth, do you not believe the information I give you?"

A few days ago, Alva shared the clues he got from White with Wordsworth. The two of them identified three ports where Nicholas was most likely to land. They made preparations for this plan for a week. Why did they suddenly change their minds?

"There's a change of plan. Father God sent down an oracle last night. There's a problem around Novidon."

"what is the problem?"

"In Calder County, the Father God has already made arrangements. There is a Dry Well Inn on the road from Novedon to New Newrent. The owner and waiter inside are all believers of the Father God."

"Redstone Town?"

"Yes, a few days ago, believers in Red Stone Town were killed. The wisdom of the Father God connects every wandering and lonely soul. Something must have gone wrong over there. It is very likely that the people from the Investigation Department are clearing the obstacles.

So we can’t rule out the possibility that they were travelling in a carriage.”

Wordsworth had an arrogant look on his face, and the people in the investigation department were thinking they were smart, not knowing that they had already alerted the enemy.

Painter Hat had some impression of Redstone Town. Although the town was deserted, its geographical location was not bad. It was located at the junction of Calder County, Severn County and New Newrent County. The Father God's Order originated from Severn County, so it was not surprising that they arranged their own people there.

"I see. Then I will go with you by land."

In the darkness, Wordsworth stood up and walked out. When he approached the painter's hat, he patted the other's shoulder:

“Don’t think too much about it. Even if there is nothing else in the cult, we still have enough manpower.

You are still in charge of the affairs at sea, and as for Novidon, I will go there myself."

The weekend is coming to an end and it will be Monday soon.

I watched the video and it seems that it is already quite cold in Northeast China. Many people are wearing down jackets. Everyone should pay attention to keeping warm.

I like summer the most and don’t like winter, haha. When I write and look at the fallen leaves outside the house, I will think.

I don’t know what I will be doing or thinking when new buds sprout on the branches again next year.
