It was first brewed overnight, and the waves began to form!
The next day, before the sun rises, the atmosphere in the capital, which has been tense in recent times, is now even more solemn. In and outside the city, especially in the aristocratic areas near the Royal Castle, the level of patrolling and martial law has been increased again. It is an exaggeration to say that there is a sentry every three steps and a post every five steps, but wherever you look, no matter where in the capital, there is no shortage of cavalry guards wearing armor. This is true
"When such a huge formation falls into the eyes of ordinary people, a burst of panic is inevitable. But from the perspective of the knowledgeable nobles, knowing that this is just a superficial appearance does not have much practical significance.
You must know that Tang En is a ruthless character who retreated completely from the Sword God Sword. In front of a master of this level, this kind of martial law formation against ordinary warriors and assassins is really useless
??????????????????????? However, the nobles who are still sober-minded don¡¯t have much panic in their hearts. Just as Powis and the two guessed, not many people are fools, especially the nobles who have been shrewd and calculating all their lives. Although they failed to see that these two little guys, Powers and Bernie, had the guts to lie to them, and although they were a little surprised by Tang En's plan to assassinate the Pope, they knew in their hearts that Tang En was not here for them. . In this way, as long as they go out less often and don't suffer any unlucky consequences, their personal safety is still guaranteed.
As for the temple, they can just send someone to notify them in time, so there is no need for them to worry In fact, the eldest prince and others did exactly this, and the efficiency was quite high. Not long after the white-haired old noble entered the royal castle to report last night, The messenger cavalry hurried out of the city and rushed to report the news to the Temple General Assembly.
But it¡¯s worth mentioning. The eldest prince and others only learned the news in the early hours of last night. The temple will always be in the southeast of the capital. The distance is at least a hundred kilometers. In other words, when the messenger cavalry rushed to the river bank around the temple, it was already the early morning of the next day.
At this time, the temple transport ship carrying rich supplies had already been launched. It was breaking through the misty morning mist on the lake and slowly approaching the islands in the lake At this moment, a number of huge mountains of cloth bags were piled up in the cabin of a certain transport ship. There was a shaking and violent gasping. Then three figures hanging with various vegetable leaves struggled to move out,
"Whoops I've been suffocating you to death, Uncle Jack. You finally came out and you were pinned down to the bottom. Damn it!"
Amidst the complaints, the figure who came out quickly approached the window at the bottom of the cabin and looked out. Without turning around, he said directly, "It's not all your choice. I must say that I have experience and careful reasoning, so I chose this person." The hiding cloth bag at the bottom.¡±
"Ahem. A mistake, a little mistake! Believe me, I am a professional thief It's all the fault of those thieves. How can fresh vegetables and fruits be so suppressed? There is no storage common sense at all, no culture"
"Haha, this is not a matter of common sense." The third figure besides the two people was calm, standing aside, shaking off the vegetable leaves on his body, smiling softly and waving his hands and replied, "Holy Lake, Well, although the lake area is not small at the moment, the speed of the temple transport ship is still enough, and it will not take long to travel back and forth between the two sides. So as long as it is not fragile and precious items such as crystal paintings, there is no need to carefully classify the goods transported back and forth. "
After the explanation fell, the cabin was silent for a moment, "Brother Owens, right? I know that you are from the temple and are familiar with this place. But the excuse I finally found out, do you want to expose it honestly?"
"Uhsorry, sorry"
Needless to say, these three people were naturally Tang En, Jack and Owens who hid in supplies and finally arrived here after traveling by land and water all night.
There was no problem with the advance plan, and the execution was even more flawless. Putting aside Jack's innocuous mistake, the three of them now successfully approached the Temple Association. What they still need to do now is wait patiently, wait for the ship to approach the island and be about to land to unload the cargo, then sneak into the water and sneak in
Of course, planning is planning and execution is execution. No one dares to claim success until the results are successfully achieved. After all, he was assassinating the Pope, so anyone would be nervous, especially Jack, who had been a petty thief all his life, so he seemed to talk a lot, even babbled.
"By the way, Tang En, I didn't understand what you were saying muffledly in the cloth bag just now How did you bring Powis and the others in? Is it reliable? Of course, I was just asking But the plan was set If you change it easily, there won¡¯t be any problems, right?¡±
"Don't worry, I care more about problems than you do. After all, my life is worth more than yours." Gathered in front of the window on the bottom floor of the cabin, squinting at the splashing water outside the window, Tang En explained in a low voice, "We will come to rescue Xia Wei'an. The temple must have known about this matter for a long time. What's more, I want to kill Wen Silin in the capital, and our whereabouts will be exposed sooner or later It doesn't matter if we are exposed, this is part of our plan."?Who will implement it needs to be carefully considered. "
After a pause, he continued, "If the news is released out of thin air, no one will care or say anything. Even if it attracts attention, it will make the other party suspicious. According to our plan in advance, we planned to let Phillip break the news. But on the surface, I Although he has a grudge against the sword god Wooding, the relationship between Philip and me is even more obvious and cannot be concealed by a little investigation, so if he reveals it, the effect will be average and it will still arouse a certain degree of suspicion. Of course, we didn't have it before The better option is to let him break the news But it's different now. Powers and Bernie have appeared. If they find out our whereabouts, they will definitely not arouse suspicion, and the effect will be the best. "
The sudden change of Powis and the two people undoubtedly made Tang En very happy. He raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "Use Powis and the others to break the news about our appearance in the capital. The capital will definitely send people immediately. Inform the Temple General Assembly, haha, maybe people from the capital have arrived at the shore now In this case, how do you think the Temple will react after learning the news?"
Hearing this, Jack squinted his eyes with disdain: "Nonsense! Do you even need to guess? Whether you believe it or not, or care not, the temple must have strengthened its defense and put strict vigilance on it."
"Yes, this is the effect we want!" With a crisp sound, Tang En snapped his fingers, "I have already calculated the time difference. We will definitely approach the temple headquarters one step ahead of the people coming from the capital. In other words, When we dived and found the underground sewers of the Temple Headquarters, the defense above had just begun to strengthen their arrangements"
"I understand!" Before Tang En could finish his explanation, Jack's eyes suddenly lit up, and he took over the words and said excitedly, "When the temple received the news, they didn't know that we had sneaked in and were right under their feet. In this way, their defense focus will only be outward, not inward, which will give us space and opportunities for our next actions Damn it, Tang En, you are so insidious!"
"Bullshit, this is called wisdom!"
"Haha, same thing"
The truth is this and it is not difficult to understand. To use a very simple analogy, it is like a frontline checkpoint fortress. When the generals who defend the city learn that the enemy is about to attack, the first decision they make must be to close the city gates and mobilize troops and long-range attack equipment on the surrounding walls. Above, build a solid wall and clear the field to strengthen defense. Instead of dispersing the troops in the city from the beginning, it is a helpless preparation for street fighting only after the city is about to be breached
This is the reason why Tang En was so happy after seeing the change of Powis and the two, and it is also the whole story of the scheme. To put it bluntly, under Tang En's calculations, the eldest prince's action of conveying news, which he thought could help the Temple Association, actually deceived the Temple Association and helped Tang En.
"This is it!" While Tang En and Jack were teasing and disparaging each other, Owens, who had been tilting his head and closing his eyes as if sensing something, suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at the board under his feet, "The fluctuations of the underwater magic trap are here. Disappeared, we are close to the outer edge of the island."
After all, he was born in the Temple of Light, and he cultivated the power system of the light lineage. Even if Owens took the path of a warrior, he could still sense the fluctuations of light magic. This is why Tang En must bring him here during this trip. one of the important reasons.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Tang En's expression became solemn when he heard this. Without hesitation, he raised his hand to push open the bottom window of the cabin, mixed with splashing water, and quietly jumped into the cold lake water.
Almost at the same time, Owens and Jack also rushed into the lake one after another. Jack, the last one to come out, kicked his legs lightly and closed the outer window to prevent the splashing lake water from seeping into the cabin.
Perfect!
The holy lake Owens calls is very cold and clear.
After passing the shadows of more than a dozen boats passing quickly above our heads, we slowly approached the lake. Not far away, the huge island shadows and large tracts of conjoined buildings with distinct layers came into view.
The waves are sparkling and floating, and the mist is surrounding it, condensing but not dissipating. In sight, the temple building standing firmly on the island in the water and under the dome looks so majestic, noble, mysterious and majestic. That is, just like the white jade god statue that stands above the highest building, as if it reaches the sky and the earth, it is not near fireworks, and it is not stained by any earthly colors.
"Is this the Temple Association? It's so spectacular!" Although the distance was not far away, but under the cover of the thick morning mist without warning, Tang En and the three people floating on the water were not surprised by the guards on the island. The danger of discovery.
¡°Actually, after seeing it for a long time, it¡¯s just like that. There¡¯s no human touch here.¡± Looking at Jack, who had his mouth slightly open and a dazed look on his face, Owens shook his head slightly and replied calmly. Although his tone was indifferent, Owens' eyes couldn't help but flicker when he saw the familiar building again, and he could see a bit of emotion.
Tang EnHe also squinted at the Temple Hall not far away, but his eyes wandered a bit. Of course this is not emotion, it¡¯s more like looking for and discovering something
Hehe, it¡¯s finally here You are right here, just behind the window Don¡¯t panic, wait, wait for me to pick you up and go home with our children
