Mystic Holy See

v1 Chapter 103: martial law

"I always feel that something is wrong..."

Aldridge muttered in his heart, pressing his hand on his chest. He had been restless since just now.

"That's our parents. They are historians. They were invited by the church to go to the Gorante Forest two days ago. They said they found a relic or something, and they won't go home on such an important day as Enze Day."

Dylan complained unhappily.

He is a young man with little scheming. He is only 18 or 19 years old at this time. He and Aldridge have already talked all the way, and he does not hide his identity as a believer of the Mother Earth.

"There may be something delayed." Aldridge comforted, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

The Church of the Earth Goddess found the ruins in the Great Forest of Gorland... Aldridge will not forget about the Vagan Tree people, and the information obtained before also said that the Church of the Earth Goddess has invested a lot of people in the Great Forest of Gorland. .

Could it have something to do with this ruin?

Pressing this thought, Aldridge turned to look at Johnny, who was playing a game of clapping with the little girl Tina...

Forget it, as long as Johnny is happy.

About 5 minutes later, the steam train stopped at Gorland Station, and several people got off the train together.

"Big brother, won't you come with us?"

When saying goodbye outside the station, Tina's face was unhappy, and her little hand held Johnny's coat and refused to let go.

"Tina, eldest brother has his own business too!" Dylan smiled bitterly and stepped forward to pick Tina up.

Johnny stroked Tina's hair and said softly, "Tina, be good, and I'll play with you when we're done."

"Okay..." Tina pursed her lips, still not very happy.

Afterwards, everyone said goodbye at the station. Dylan and Tina should go to the hotel first, while Aldridge and Johnny planned to go directly to the Gorand Forest.

"What a lovely child." Aldridge sighed.

"Well," Johnny put his hands in his pockets uncomfortably, stared at the carriage that Tina and the others were riding in, and said, "I hope she can grow up healthy."

Aldridge looked at Johnny and knew that he was actually a little awkward. He was rarely this close to anyone, let alone a little girl.

"Have one of your own?" Aldridge laughed.

"Don't..." Johnny lowered his head a little, and his face turned pale red, as he did every time he was teased by Aldridge.

Aldridge was relieved and said, "Let's go too, and try to get out of the forest as soon as possible."

"Um."

The two rented a carriage, and the coachman ordered them to go to the Great Gorand Forest.

As the coachman got into the carriage, he said, "Two gentlemen, recently the Great Gorrant Forest is under martial law, and the Church of the Mother Earth has closed the entrance to the east. Now you can only go south or north to enter the forest."

Aldridge and Johnny looked at each other and said, "Then let's go to the north entrance."

The last time he and Andrea came, they also took the north entrance. Aldrich knew that the north was not the north of Gorrant Forest, but only the north relative to the east entrance.

"Okay." The driver didn't say much, and drove off.

"What happened to Gorrant Forest recently? The Church of the Mother Earth actually blocked the entrance." Aldrich leaned forward and asked the driver.

"It's not something that a little guy like me can know." The coachman snorted and said perfunctorily.

Aldridge naturally knew that it was impossible for him to know the specific situation, but there was definitely a lot of information on these drivers, and there must be some involved. Aldridge took out two silver nars and threw them directly into his hands.

"Hey!" The coachman pretended unceremoniously and said, "I really don't know the specifics, but the Church of the Mother Earth has recently invited many historians and archaeologists who believe in the Mother Goddess, and I heard that they found something. remains."

"What else?" Aldridge knew this and asked directly.

The coachman hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I really want to tell you, don't go to find out about this. The invited historian and archaeologist recently died another half!"

"Dead?" Aldridge opened his eyes wide, and Johnny looked over with a frown.

The coachman seemed to remember something, and his whole body shook and lowered his voice, saying: "If a historian hadn't suddenly gone mad in the town, no one would know about it. That historian came out of the forest. It was normal when I was there, but when I was in the street, I was just yelling and screaming, saying that they were dead, they were all dead, the church was lying, and so on.”

"And then, what happened to him in the end?"

"I was taken away by the church, who knows." The coachman was obviously not a follower of the Church of the Mother Earth, and when he said this, his tone was a bit sarcastic, and he probably made some evil speculations in his heart.

Aldridge returned to the car, and Johnny whispered, "Tina and Dylan's parents are historians, right?"

"It's hard to say," Aldridge said in a low voice, "the church wouldn't be so absolute, or the historian probably wouldn't even have a chance to speak."

Johnny nodded and said again, "I hope our journey will be smoother."

"Well, let's try not to get too close to the martial law area."

The carriage walked for about thirty minutes, and finally came to the north entrance. Compared with the last time, there was almost no one here~lightnovelpub.net~ Now various groups of adventurers can be seen everywhere.

These adventurers are most affected by the closure of the east entrance. Entering the forest from an unfamiliar place is several levels more dangerous than the east.

After paying for the car, Aldridge and Johnny walked into the forest with a wooden crate containing a Bayman rat.

"Let's go deeper." Johnny said, "I guess there are a lot of mysterious hunters here. It's too dangerous to put Kiki on the edge."

Aldrich also has no opinion. Compared with the cautiousness last time, he is undoubtedly a lot more relaxed. As a rank 1 Beyonder, ordinary 'mysterious' can hardly hurt him, and he can never encounter monsters like Bazitan again. Bar?

Although everything in the forest seems to be the same, Aldridge really remembers the road he walked last time. It's better to be familiar than familiar, so Aldridge simply took Johnny in the direction of the last time.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, have you got a good deal with that Greg?" Aldrich asked.

"Of course," Johnny said. "Gegnier is fragile, and he didn't put much effort into Mitch."

"What is his extraordinary ability?" Aldridge forgot to ask his Goldfinger, and simply asked Johnny.

"It's an extraordinary ability called 'simulation'." Johnny replied directly.

"Simulation?"

"Well... how do you say it, it can simulate other 'mysterious' auras."

What's the use of this... Aldridge's first reaction was this.

"I didn't become an Extraordinary for fighting," Johnny guessed Aldridge's thoughts and explained, "I hope to study 'mysteries', they are very beautiful beings, and this ability will provide me with a lot of convenience. "

The so-called intrusion into the enemy's interior.

Aldridge nodded knowingly.
