Soul echo

Chapter 441 Interweaving
Having obtained the information he wanted so quickly, when he walked out of the brothel, Zhong Ye still had a sense of unreality in his heart.

The Thieves Guild in Stuttgart is unbelievably powerful. What is their news channel?Or, they themselves were the Heart Eater in disguise?Tell him the news, in fact, just to mislead him?

There are too many possibilities that can be thought of, and Zhong Ye will be uncertain for a while.

'Ulrik' indeed fits the collaborator's 'pleasure-seeking' personality, but from what the adventurers said last night and the intelligence agent just now, Ulrik Skospier doesn't seem to be a very good person. intelligent.

Is this his disguise?If it's not a pretense, but really stupid, how come he hasn't been replaced by Mind Eater after working with Mind Eater for so many years?
It is also possible that he was replaced by the Mind Eater long ago, but someone knew about his cooperation with the Mind Eater, so the Mind Eater who replaced him had to carry out Ulrik's past actions...

no!There are still too many possibilities, and there is no way to determine that the collaborator of Mind Eater is Ulrik based on these clues.

Fortunately, when he hired the three players last night, he asked them to go to the castle to 'apply'. If everything goes well, they will be able to bring back the information tonight.

Of course, it may not go well. Not only will the information not be brought back, but they themselves will not be able to come back.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ye sighed slightly, and looked up at the busy street.

There were a lot of people on the street, even if there were human beings who had been taken away by the Mind Eater, he couldn't tell which person had a slow beating rate from the chaotic heartbeats.

Maintaining his disguise, Zhong Ye lowered his head and walked towards the church.

After learning from the Thieves Guild that the 'collaborator' might be Ulrik, Zhong Ye's thoughts changed a bit.

He must go to the church and communicate with those priests.

It is impossible for the Church not to know the existence of the Thieves Guild, and it can even be said that the Church acquiesced in the existence of the Thieves Guild.

Each era has its own moral standards. In Zhong Ye’s eyes, prostitution exists only to exploit women and lower their status. However, in the eyes of priests in Dan’s world, prostitution may not be a profession that needs to be abolished.

After all, the world's productivity is underdeveloped and the level of social development is not high. After losing the land, it will become difficult to survive.

It's fine if you have special skills, but what if you don't have anything?
In this era of illiteracy, it is impossible for women without any skills to enter the factory. If their husbands die or flee, there is really no other way to survive except to sell their bodies.

Just as Zhong Ye can understand why prostitutes exist, most of the clergy in this world can understand it, but Zhong Ye finds it hard to accept, and the clergy have already adapted...

When he came to the door of the church, Zhong Ye wiped off the ashes on his face with his sleeve, straightened his back, tensed his nerves, and tried his best to pay attention to all the eyes around him that were focused on him.

There are two on the opposite side of the street, one in a house on the side, and one in the crowd at the left rear. In addition, there is a line of sight from a distance, and I don't know where it is.

I don't know who these gazes came from, and why he paid attention to him, but Zhong Ye remembered them all.

After walking up the steps in front of the church, Zhong Ye turned around and looked back. As his gaze swept, the three gazes were taken away by their owners.

"Heh!" Zhong Ye laughed and walked into the church in front of him.

Like other big cities, Stuttgart does not have only one church, but many churches coexist here.

He chose the church with the largest area in this square, and walked in with his head held high.

The strong sense of presence made Zhong Ye attract the attention of others as soon as he stepped into the chapel, and more than a dozen gazes pierced him from all directions at the same time.

Pieces of stained glass pieced together into dazzling religious paintings one after another, inlaid in each window frame, and a hole was opened above the statue, and the hole was filled with circular transparent glass, making this The slightly dark chapel has the only leak that can let in a lot of light.

Countless sunlight poured down from the ceiling, just falling on the statue, adding a bit of sanctity to the statue that was supposed to be full of bravery.

Holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, the God of War stood upright on the stone pedestal. His eyes that should have been glaring became soft against the sunlight, as if approving.

Zhong Ye walked up to a priest, and said straight to the point: "I am Zhong Ye, and I am here for the Heart Eater. I hope your church can exchange information with me."

The pastor took a look at this adventurer who was stronger and taller than himself, and felt emotional in his heart.

Hearing what Zhong Ye said, the pastor's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wait, are you really Your Excellency Zhong Ye?"

Zhong Ye didn't carry an iconic weapon, but his tall stature and handsome appearance matched him.

Although there are still horizontal and vertical gray marks on his face, it is not difficult to see that he looks good.

"Please wait a moment." After speaking, the pastor turned and walked to the back of the chapel.

Zhong Ye withdrew his gaze from him, and turned to look at the statue of the God of War.

For some reason, when he saw the statue of the God of War, he couldn't help but feel a little intimacy in his heart, which he had never felt before when he saw the statues of other gods.

After a while, the pastor came back with what appeared to be a painting in his hand.

The pastor took the painting and compared it with himself, and then his eyebrows were beaming, and he suddenly bowed and shouted: "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, welcome to come!"

Zhong Ye couldn't help being stunned for a moment by his actions, and then he heard chattering discussions around him.

"Is he really Zhong Ye?"

"As expected of a hero who saved several cities, he looks really handsome."

"But what did he come to Stuttgart for? I heard that he seemed to be chasing disasters. Everywhere he went, disasters would occur in one place, and many lords and nobles died..."

"Then aren't we going to suffer?"

Listening to those people's discussion, Zhong Ye felt a little helpless.

Fortunately, after the pastor straightened up, he turned around and guided Zhong Ye to the reception room, brought him into the reception room, and asked him to wait for a while before leaving.

The sound insulation in the reception room is good, at least you can't hear the outside sound when you sit here.

Not long after, a heavily armed paladin walked into the reception room and sat opposite Zhong Ye.

After sitting down, the paladin took off his helmet, revealing a fierce and resolute face. Coupled with his short light blonde hair, the first impression he gave was 'fierce'.

"Hello, I am the commander of the Holy Guard of the Church of Stuttgart, Hayley Kusdottir. I am temporarily in charge of the Mind Eater incident. Your Excellency Zhong Ye, I have known you for a long time."

Zhong Ye discovered that these priests seemed to have added 'Your Excellency' to his name and used it as his real name.

"Hello, Captain."

Zhong Ye cupped his fists to salute, and then said: "It's not too late, I won't talk nonsense, do you know who the group of mind eaters want to kill?"

"Ulrik Skospier." After finishing speaking, the warrior captain hesitated for a moment, and added, "We got the news from the Thieves Guild, because they said that their people had seen Ur in secret. A deal between Rick's people and Mind Eater's people."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye nodded slightly, "What are you going to do?"

"We hired the Thieves Guild and let them try to assassinate Ulrik. Of course, this is just acting, just to test..."

Before the warrior could finish his long speech, Zhong Ye frowned, "Heart Eater has been mixed into the Thieves Guild!"

"What?" The warrior commander was stunned.

After Zhong Ye talked about what he had done in the Thieves Guild, the warrior leader stood up abruptly.

Even if Zhong Ye only found one Mind Eater, there is no guarantee that there are other Mind Eaters in the Thieves Guild.

Compared with the Thieves Guild, Mind Eater is more pervasive.

The warrior leader opened his mouth slightly, and suddenly remembered that he was receiving Zhong Ye, and that the Thieves Guild would not act at such a time, so he sat back and let out a foul breath.

"what about you?"

Zhong Ye stared at the warrior commander, "Do you have any new information?"

"Yes!" The warrior captain replied without thinking, "We suddenly discovered something recently, something we hadn't noticed before - some customers of a certain brothel in Stuttgart visited that brothel. After a few times, they will disappear inexplicably, but because they are all adventurers or gang members, and they have no relatives or friends, no one has reported the crime and no one knows about it.

"This incident may have nothing to do with Mind Eater, but we found it when we investigated the whole city.

"We suspect that this matter has something to do with the evil god of the abyss!"
