The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 259: Abandoned by God (15)
Haggard thought that his theory of rounding up was very complete and had no flaws. Even if the elves were willing to protect Ji Cheng, they could not stay in the elves' territory forever.
Since they were going out, no matter where Ji Cheng and his friends were going, as long as the people of the Holy See of Light watched them closely enough, they would be able to obtain their movements!
As for using teleportation magic?
Basically, every adventurer who had entered the Elf Forest knew that teleportation magic was ineffective there.
So this possibility was automatically eliminated by Haggard the first time it appeared in his mind.
It was just a pity that the Pope did not think that teleportation magic could not be used in the Elf Forest, probably because it was covered by Evelyn's domain.
As friends and guests of the elves, Ji Cheng and his friends could use the teleportation array.
So the spies of the Holy See of Light waited outside the Elf Forest for more than a month, but they did not catch a single hair of Ji Cheng.
Even the final evacuation of the personnel was due to Haggard being too impatient, so he took the risk of using the Holy Order Domain to directly cover the area, so that Evelyn, who had just fallen asleep, woke him up and caught him and beat him up. Then he realized that Ji Cheng was no longer in the elves' territory.
As for where he was?
At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already arrived in a small town called Fuxi with Clara.
From Reed's location when the intelligence came in to the Holy City of the Holy See of Light, there were several feasible routes, but for the sake of speed and safety, there would always be some overlapping locations in these routes, and Fuxi City was one of the places where the Holy See of Light had some overlaps and the power of the Holy See of Light was relatively weak.
Because Clara was a road idiot, Ji Cheng and his men arrived in Fuxi City two days later than originally planned, but Reed's pace was not fast, so they still had one day to prepare when they arrived.
The town has a small population. Ji Cheng and Clara found a hotel near the city gate and paid for two rooms. Then they wandered to a nearby restaurant, chose a window seat on the second floor, ordered some food and sat down.
Because this operation was to attack a ninth-level expert - not to mention other experts in Reed's team, Stephen and others would definitely not be able to help, so they did not come with them.
Clara and Ji Cheng were the only two people sitting face to face at a table. There was nothing to talk about, so Clara thought about it and simply took out the game console from the space ring - by the way, after half a year of preparation and research, the first generation of the dwarf game console has been successfully launched. It is currently very popular among human nobles, but because of limited production, it is not widely used.
Clara went to the dwarf settlement to find Kagel to get this one.
As soon as the game console was officially released, the dwarves also gave Ji Cheng one. However, due to limited technology, there are only two games in it for the time being, and the effects are also very simple. Clara, who has never been exposed to the Internet, is still very addicted, but for Ji Cheng, it is really not attractive.
So he paid more attention to the various special foods served by the waiter and the discussions at the tables next to him.
——It is estimated that the Holy See of Light finally realized the truth after failing to do it to him one after another, or the buffer time is enough (if Ji Cheng knew the follow-up of the Elf Forest, he should think that it may be because Haggard was beaten too badly by the Elf Queen). In short, they no longer concealed Chen’s identity as the "son of God", and officially listed him as a fugitive of the Holy See, with his portrait posted all over the streets.
The former Holy Son of the Holy See suddenly became a wanted criminal. Who wouldn’t gossip about this?
Especially when the portraits posted on the streets are visibly distorted, but still look good to the naked eye.
So while Ji Cheng was eating, all kinds of gossip floated in his ears.
"Alas, I can't believe that the Holy Son of the Church would fall to this point."
"Ahem, pay attention, it's the former Holy Son."
"Okay, okay, the former Holy Son - I really don't understand, this wanted order and portrait are posted, we civilians can't beat the magician who can escape from the Holy City!"
"You don't know this, but I heard that after Chen was captured, his magic power was already abolished, and he was planted with an elemental curse by the Pope... In short, he can't practice anymore!"
"Doesn't that mean he is just an ordinary person?"
"Then the bounty is quite high. I heard that Chen is also beautiful and easy to recognize. We are merchants who travel all over the country and go to many places. We should pay more attention to it. Maybe we will run into him by chance!"
Ji Cheng, who wore a disguise when he went out after the wanted order was officially issued: "..."
I guess these guys don't know that they have already hit the jackpot, right?
The gossips at other tables were similar, and some were so excited that they just sat together to share a table. Clara, who was sitting opposite Ji Cheng, finished a game and heard the gossip. She rolled her eyes and found an angle to join in: "I heard from my teacher before that Chen... ah no, the former son of the Holy See was a very strong magic genius!"
Others were reminded of this and immediately echoed: "Ah, right, right, right--"
"I also remember that the church elders in our place used to promote that Chen was the strongest magic genius in August Continent!"
"It's rare to see it for thousands of years, no, tens of thousands of years!"
"I heard that he started practicing when he was twelve years old to test his magic talent. He became a second-level magician at the age of thirteen, and became a fourth-level magician at the age of fifteen. If he practices normally, he might be able to reach the holy level by the time he is thirty. "
"Oh My God--"
Clara was involved in it and was about to make two more inciting sentences: "When the Holy See of Light was useful, it used people as treasures and publicized them everywhere. Now that they are no longer useful, they destroy people's magic power and list them as wanted criminals. Isn't this burning bridges?" "Scum." When he said something like "men are not such scumbags", someone from the previous tables suddenly cleared his throat.
"Ahem, speaking of this most powerful genius, I don't think he is the former Holy Son of the Holy See of Light."
"I personally have a person who is more worthy of being called the greatest genius in history."
When he said this, everyone else couldn't help but turn their heads, obviously their appetites were aroused, and they wanted to hear who this "strongest in history" was.
Even Jicheng stopped eating and raised his head, wanting to see who this person who was more genius than himself was.
Seeing that the others were interested, the man immediately puffed up his chest, adjusted his posture and said, "The man I'm talking about was born tens of thousands of years ago. He is truly the strongest genius! He is also the strongest magician!"
"Our current position as the ruler of the human continent is the result of the hard work he led his companions back then!"
"Mountains will collapse before him! Seawater will change color before him! Thunder and lightning will surrender before him!"
When the other party came out with his first sentence, other people in the restaurant still had expressions of confusion.
When the second sentence came out, some people started to look confused.
When it comes to the third sentence.
Hearing the other person's accent that was almost singing, Clara couldn't help but patted the man on the shoulder: "May I ask about your occupation?"
The man said: "Bard!"

Others: "..."
The diners who had been gathering together suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts.
Isn’t this a waste of emotions? !

After eating, Jicheng and Clara sat and ate for a while, then leaned against the window to check whether they could see the city gate in all directions from this position. Then they paid the bill and left, in Fuxi City After walking around for a while, I returned to the hotel to rest.
By the afternoon of the next day, Jicheng and the others returned to this location and continued eating and watching.
Their hard work paid off, and when it got dark in the evening, Jicheng and the others saw an extremely huge carriage slowly driving into the city.
Reed was not outside the carriage, but the information about the driver and the group of knights guarding the carriage had long been in Clara's intelligence. Ji Cheng and Clara's memories were both excellent, and they recognized it almost immediately. out of them.
For the sake of efficiency, they did not order staple food today, so when they saw the carriage entering the city, the two of them looked at each other, then put down their chopsticks, paid and left.
Clara and Jicheng secretly followed the carriage from a distance, and saw the carriage driving slowly on the road, and then entered a courtyard.
This should be the resting place they chose in Fuxi City.
After applying the invisibility spell, Clara and Jicheng carefully climbed in from the back door of the courtyard.
I saw the group of knights and guards guarding the courtyard, almost three steps to one post and five steps to one post. The carriage door was also opened, and Reed came down with another old man in black robes. Although he could not recognize his identity, he Judging from the old man's clothes and Reed's attitude, he was at least a strong man on the same level as him.
Probably someone high up in the Inquisition.
Reed and the old man got off the carriage. He looked at the courtyard and couldn't help but smile: "I finally have a good place to rest."
The old man said: "We haven't returned to the Holy City yet, so we need to be careful about everything."
Reed looked back inside the carriage: "You mean him?"
"Don't worry, there are magic-forbidden handcuffs, and we have two ninth-level experts taking turns guarding them. What can happen?"
From the outside, Reed is an ordinary mean middle-aged man - and at this time, the corners of his mouth are very consistent with his character: "He is still a loner, not like those annoying dark people." As a member of the force, if you catch one, others will come crazy to save him. I can guarantee that few of them know the name Louis—let alone come to save him.”
Not to mention that this Louis was like a slippery loach. Just to catch him, with the power and intelligence lines of the Holy See of Light all over the continent, they hunted him for nearly half a year before they succeeded - he was as cunning as a rabbit in three burrows. Where can the dark forces have information about him?
The old man didn't comment, just turned around and rushed into the carriage and said, "Why don't you get off?"
The man in the carriage, or Louis, replied in a sinister tone: "I don't."
"You, the Holy See of Light, do things shamelessly. If you even arrest an honest businessman like me, do you still have any laws?"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but kicked himself onto the carriage: "Can't you get out?!" Is he the only honest businessman? !
Louis: "I don't."
