Skretil's Ignorance Walker

Chapter 781: Rebuilding the Priory

The battle was over, and after the gate of hell was closed, Amuro disappeared into thin air, and the scene became deathly silent.

"Is the knot... over?"

Looking at the quiet and deep darkness around her, Fafuwei murmured, but Lu Ren shook his head.

"No, not yet. That guy Avic hasn't shown up yet."

Lu Ren was well aware of the dangers that Avik could cause. Until now, that guy hasn't shown up, which only means that he has a backup plan.

Wildi also agreed with Lu Ren's words. Although he had never seen Avic in person, after seeing the end of the monastery and what Lina said to him, Wildi also thought it was necessary to find Avic and eliminate him.

However, after searching the monastery's headquarters for a long time, they couldn't find Avic. There was no one in the entire headquarters.

For this reason, Wildi also asked Dilock and others, but no one ran out of the base. Wildi was worried, so he asked the dragoons to go in and search.

Thousands of people searched here for two whole days, even the floor of the base was overturned by them, but they still did not find any clues about Avic.

"It looks like it probably wasn't even here in the first place..."

Lu Ren concluded that it was very likely that Avic had already escaped from the beginning. After killing the leader of the monastery and taking control of the monastery, Avic left the Gate of Hell here and asked Amuro to guard it, while he himself had disappeared long ago.

This result is undoubtedly worrying. If we can't find Avik, it means that it is very likely that it is still wreaking havoc on the world somewhere.

When they thought of this, Lu Ren and Wildi frowned, but they didn't have any good solution. For now, they could only close the case of the monastery.

However, just when Wildi was about to take Chia and the others back to the Dragoon Headquarters to close the case, he was surprised to find that Chia was missing.

"Oh no, they ran away!"

Wildi immediately organized the dragoons to hunt for Chia, and Lu Ren also discovered that Lu Ming and Paulina were missing.

The magic power in Qia's body was sealed, so it was impossible for her to escape alone, so the only possibility was that Lu Ming took her away.

"Hey……"

Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh for this. Why is this girl becoming more and more worrying?

But soon, Lu Ren sensed that the sensing magic she had left in the monastic base outside the suburbs of Xidao City was triggered. It seemed that Lu Ming had brought Qia and the others back there.

After learning about this situation, Lu Ren did not tell Wildi the information immediately, but said goodbye to her first, and then quietly came to Lu Ming's base alone.

"This is it..."

The base in front of him was invisible as usual, but this time Lu Ren opened the gate of the base and went in with ease. This action immediately attracted the attention of the people inside, and soon Lu Ming, wearing a strange armor, appeared in front of Lu Ren.

"What are you wearing? It doesn't suit you at all."

Facing Lu Ren's teasing, Lu Ming did not respond. She first confirmed that Lu Ren was alone before she started to communicate with him.

"Sister Ren, what are you doing here?"

"You escaped without permission and took the fugitive with you. Now you ask me why I'm here? Don't forget that the three of you are wanted fugitives now."

"So, you're here to arrest us?"

"Hey……"

Seeing Lu Ming's wary look towards him, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh, how could such a good family become like this?

"Okay, okay, if I really came to arrest you, I wouldn't be standing here alone chatting with you."

"Then what are you here for?"

"Aren't you tired of standing here? Can you sit down and talk?"

Faced with Lu Ren's request, Lu Ming hesitated for a while, but finally took Lu Ren to a room, and the two sat down face to face at the table in the room.

Seeing this, Paulina did not forget to pour tea for the two of them.

"So... are you really planning to revive the priory yourself?"

Lu Ren picked up the tea, took a sip, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the tea before continuing to talk to Lu Ming.

"Of course, this is the president's last wish, and the Priory is his life's work. Even if I am alone, I will rebuild the Priory!"

"And me! Lady Alice, I will always be with you!"

"..."

Looking at the determined eyes of the two people in front of her, Lu Ren felt speechless. She looked around the room and found that Qia was not there.

"Hey who... Where's Chia? Did you bring her here too?"

"She is still working on her ideology, so she is not here for the time being..."

At this point, Lu Ming's eyes were a little evasive. She had brought Chia here in the hope of rebuilding the monastery with her, but she didn't expect that Chia was unwilling to do so. Although she would still receive certain punishments, she had been spared the death penalty. As long as she served her sentence and came out of prison, she would be a free person and could live the life she wanted freely.

And now that Lu Ming has kidnapped her, Qia is now equivalent to a wanted fugitive. If she returns, her sentence might be increased, which makes her very dissatisfied.

"If someone doesn't want to, don't force them. Hand her over to me. I'll take her back to confess her crime. Maybe she can get out earlier."

"Who said she doesn't want to? Of course she does! It's just that we haven't reached an agreement yet..."

"..."

Lu Ren looked at Lu Ming speechlessly. It was obvious that Qia was not willing to rebuild the monastery with her, but Lu Ming had no intention of letting her go.

"Please, don't do these dangerous things, okay? Just follow me and live in my house. Even if you do nothing, I can still support you."

Seeing that Lu Ming was so obsessed with the monastic order, Lu Ren was very worried. After all, they were family members, and in this world, they were each other's only relatives. Therefore, Lu Ren really didn't want to see Lu Ming doing those dangerous things.

"What do you mean by dangerous things... Sister Ren, you don't understand me at all! The Priory is not what you imagine it to be! Although its members are all weirdos, we have never harmed anyone. We are all honestly engaged in magic research in our base. In the final analysis, the Priory is just a group of people who share the same suffering and huddle together for warmth."

Lu Ming was talking about deep friendship and loyalty. She was taken in by such a hermitage and witnessed the harmonious relationship between the members. However, Lu Ren was skeptical about this.

"But in fact, weren't all those crimes committed by your people?"

"That... that's all because of Avic. It's all his fault. The Priory has become like this!"

"Then your two friends, Jean and Chia, are they also being controlled by Avic?"

"This……"

Lu Ren's words left Lu Ming speechless. Although she wanted to put all the blame on Avic, these two people had been outside with her all the time, so it was obvious that she could not shift their responsibilities to Avic.

"In short, please believe me. The monastery I rebuilt will never do anything dangerous. As long as I am here, I will definitely restrain the people in the monastery!"

In the end, Lu Ming could only pray that Lu Ren would believe her, his tearful eyes filled with hope.
