The archbishop of the "Friendly Hand" took Zug, Shao Liang, Mu Chi and others to meet the local bishop Antoniola under the symbol of vigilance.
The clergyman, who was over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black cloak and a minimalist mask, with no grass on his head, looked quite strong, raised his arms, crossed them over his chest, and took a step back:
"Vigilance is God's prompting.
"Archbishop Dello, your room has been arranged."
Archbishop Dello, who had thinning hair, wanted to give Antoniola a hug according to the most formal and sincere etiquette of "friendly hands", but seeing his unabashed vigilance, he had to turn his body, show his back to the other party, and said in red river language:
"Be kind to others, believe in each other."
The differences between the two major sects were suddenly revealed.
Moreover, this is different from the Church of Vigilance and the Cult of Fear, which each have their own doctrinal priorities, and the "Friendly Hand" is completely anew, which has no similarities with the other two.
The only thing they have in common is that the "Friendly Hand" also believes in the "Yougu" in October.
If the vigilant sect and the fear order are born from the same origin, then the "friendly hand" is picked up from the outside.
This is also slightly equivalent to the fact in a sense.
——In the chaotic era, the "Friendly Hand" originated from those who needed to unite against the "heartless" and various aberrant creatures.
The concept of "Friendly Hands" and the "Salvation Army" have something in common, and the two sides do have a long and close cooperation.
It was not until the 10th year of the new calendar that because of the oracle of "Yougu", the "Friendly Hand" regularly sent people to participate in the popular education conference between wary sects and fearful orders.
It was precisely because of their existence that the Vigilant Sect and the Fear Cult did not repeat the previous arguments to the point of fighting, almost killing the red eyes.
In Zug's self-deprecating words on the road:
The year of the year was unbearable for his believers to suffer unnecessary casualties due to a little doctrinal dispute, so he specially sent people from "friendly hands" to persuade him.
When the people who followed him turned around and bowed with their backs to the vigilant bishop Antoniola, Dello, the archbishop of the "friendly hand", had a gentle attitude and said in a soothing tone:
"I once came to the Red Stone Market and had contact with the 'Underground Boat', which is an old friend.
"I don't know how he is doing now, can I go visit him?"
Antoniola put on a white minimalist mask and said in a deep voice:
"Dimarco is dead, and the 'underground boat' has changed its owner."
"What did you do?" Del Lo acted as if it was the first time he had heard about it.
Antoniola shook his head:
"No.
"It's five outsiders."
"They are also believers in the year?" Del Lo asked in "surprise".
Antoniola shook his head again:
"I don't know much about their beliefs, but they are definitely not believers in the old age, and they don't usually live in Red Stone Collection, but only come here occasionally.
"Actually, you should have seen them just now, when you entered the church, they just left the hall and returned to the underground."
Zug, who was next to "......", thought about it seriously and realized that Bishop Antoniola was talking about Bai Chen and the four of them.
They?
They killed an Awoken who was considered stronger than him by Archbishop Dello?
When did Bai Chen become so powerful?
Although her companions looked like they were from a big force, they weren't that strong, were they?
Too young......
In the blink of an eye, Zug held instinctive doubts and asked:
"Your Excellency, didn't you say that there were five people who killed the original owner of the 'Underground Boat'?
"We only saw four ......"
Antoniola did not hide it:
"The other is an intelligent robot, which didn't come this time."
Bai Chen, that intelligent robot? Zug felt that things were right.
But he still didn't want to believe it.
How many years has it been since Bai Chen has grown to the point where he needs to look up to him, and has joined a team with unfathomable strength? Moreover, over the years, I have not gained anything, and there is a world of difference compared to the beginning.
Archbishop Dello pondered and asked:
"The main force is that intelligent robot?"
Yes, intelligent robots are very restrained by awakeners in certain fields, even if the other party has entered the "spiritual corridor"...... After remembering this, Zug subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was reasonable.
"I don't know, I didn't participate, and there was no surveillance video left at the scene." Antoniola replied calmly.
Seeing this, Archbishop Del Lo of the "Friendly Hand" could no longer hold back his doubts:
"They are outsiders, and they don't believe in the gods, so you watch them break into the basement of the church and kill the owner of the ark?
"The owner of the ark is a believer in the old age."
Even their own sect, which is known for its friendliness, can't do this kind of thing that opens the door and steales!
Antoniola's voice lowered a little, unconsciously.
"The year of the year has acquiesced."
Del Lo was startled, looked around and said:
"Zhi Sui acquiesced to killing the owner of the ark?
"Then why don't you do it yourself? With the strength of your sect, it is more than enough to complete this matter.
"The incident happened suddenly, and it was too late to ask for support from the bishops of fear?"
Antoniola didn't answer, but raised his hand again and bowed:
"Vigilance is God's prompting."
…………
In the afternoon, the "Old Tune Team" followed another smuggling team and penetrated deep into Iron Mountain.
In addition, they took the time to go to the Vigilant Church to visit the Warning Song He and Bishop Antoniola, and obtained some information about the ruins of Tieshan City from them.
The meeting place agreed between the "Underground Boat" management committee and the mountain monsters was at the bend of a mountain road.
There are cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, and the terrain is very steep.
For the mountain monsters, once the smugglers showed hostility, their companions hiding on the cliffs would push the boulders down and muddle the situation, while they and others relied on their talents to climb down from the cliff and disappear into the dense forest.
Four members of the "old tune team" got out of the jeep one after another and waited next to the car.
After about ten minutes, a group of mountain monsters with blue skin, sharp teeth, and a very blue-faced fangs flew down from the cliff wall swinging vines.
Like the fishmen, they were also vigilant enough, and after a quick look, they found that there were four more strangers this time.
Before they could speak, Shang Jianyao had already raised the blue and white loudspeaker and shouted weakly:
"Don't be nervous:
"You are human beings, and we are human beings;
"You are here to trade resources, and we are here to trade resources;
"So ......"
In order to save his spirit, this time Shang Jianyao used the "reasoning clown" he was more familiar with.
The mountain monsters were instantly "persuaded", elected a representative, and took the initiative to ask:
"What resources do you want to trade?"
He uses a gray native language with a more dialectal sense.
Jiang Baimian stepped forward two steps:
"We exchanged three boxes of flour for information related to the ruins of Tieshan City."
These three boxes of flour were exchanged for by them from the "underground boat" with surplus arms.
The representative of the mountain monster was stunned for a few seconds before saying:
"Ask."
Jiang Baimian started with the simplest question:
"Did your tribe explore the ruins of Tieshan City during the chaotic era?"
"At first, there was no, it was too dangerous there, and it was not until the 'heartless ones' were eliminated that our elders tried to search for food." The representative of the mountain monster answered quite skillfully.
Jiang Baimian immediately asked:
"Did your elders encounter anything strange there, and did they collect any useful items or information?"
The mountain monster representative shook his head like a rattle:
"We have always been looking for food, clothes and quilts, and occasionally other items that have been brought back have been sold after someone went up the mountain to trade.
"Uh...... At that time, there were many powerful 'heartless people' in the ruins of Tieshan City, with terrifying abilities, we only dared to walk around, there was nothing strange elsewhere."
Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:
"Did you bring back newspapers, magazines, and books?"
Generally speaking, unless you meet a scholar who studies the Old World, this type of item is difficult to trade.
The bluish face of the mountain monster showed a slightly strange expression:
"Yes, yes, we use it to make fires, paste walls, lay mattresses locally, and make teaching materials for children.
"But someone asked about this two days ago, and I read it on the spot and didn't pick out any books."
Someone asked? Just two days ago? Jiang Baimian's eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Who?"
Shang Jianyao followed suit, extremely "shocked" and heartbroken:
"You guys, you are not vigilant enough!
"How can you take strangers back to the tribe?"
The mountain monsters were silent at the same time, as if they had not realized that this was a very serious problem until this moment.
