I'm not a loser in love from Dimensional Adventurer

Alice raised her hands tremblingly. At the entrance of the church, the smiling Pope Grell Alex was walking forward with steady steps.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for the dead to stand and walk on their own, unless it is a trick of some necromancers.

The three people present did not dare to act rashly. Alice spread the magic power in her body in an attempt to use the resonance between the magic powers to find the necromancer who might be hiding behind it.

However, no, Alice's magic was spread throughout the church with herself as the center. She could not feel the presence of other warlocks, unless that person was hidden too well, or the other person's ability far exceeded Alice's imagination. .

"No trace of magic here!"

Alice shouted in a panic. His Excellency the Pope didn't seem to be disturbed by the sudden sound. He walked closer until he passed through Alice's body.

This scene was very strange. Alice touched her body in surprise. Her hand inserted into her chest and appeared behind her out of thin air.

Vician, who was standing far away, tried to pat Caschia on the shoulder, but like Alice, he also passed through the body of his companion.

The three of them turned into shadows, looking at each other in this unknown church.

"..."

"Can anyone explain? Alice?"

"I have no idea!!"

Alice remembered touching the statue and being transformed into what she was now in a blinding light.Next to her, Lord Alex was praying with his head bowed. His calm and steady appearance was in sharp contrast to the restless three people present.

The prayer that Alex recited was very long, long enough for Alice and the others to recover from their shock.They heard brisk footsteps approaching, the door of the inner room on the right side of the church was opened, and the apprentice who was taken down by the guards because he went crazy in the palace came out.

"Lord Alex! The prayer ceremony is about to begin today. Do you need me to make any preparations?"

There was a little excitement in the older apprentice's questioning tone. He raised his head and waited for the Pope's instructions.

"If you can, please help me get some holy water."

"Are we going to perform a purification ceremony this time too?"

"Yes, my child, go quickly."

Alex was still kneeling in front of the statue. He raised his head and gently asked the apprentice to do a small favor.Alex's voice was consistent with what Alice heard in the church. If she hadn't seen the middle-aged man's body with her own eyes, Alice might have thought he was alive and well...

Weisian observed the surroundings vigilantly. There was no distortion of space, and there was no breath of living people except the five people present.He conveyed this discovery truthfully, and received two faces of varying degrees of confusion.

"What should we do? Are we just going to watch?"

"What else can we do? We can't even touch them."

At this time, the last scene of someone's life was being played out in front of Alice and the three of them. The apprentice followed the instructions and left to get the things. The Pope finished his prayer and walked into the inner room.

Alice and the three of them followed. Because they couldn't touch anything, they went straight through the wall to Alex's room.

If it were normal, Alice would be very excited and running around!

In reality, Alice and her companions stood in a corner of the room, watching the changes.Although they don't know what brought them here, it would be of great help if they could see the prisoner who killed the Pope.

Soon, a sudden change occurred, and a man in a black cloak sprang out of the closet. The silver dagger in his hand stabbed Alex's neck accurately.Alex clutched the bleeding wound on his neck, his eyes widened, and he stepped back in horror.

The prisoner didn't leave him any chance to breathe. Another dagger flew in his hand and stabbed into Alex's heart, killing him with one blow.

"Uh...uh..."

Lord Alex could not cry out for help, his voice was deprived of him, and he fell forever, lying in a pool of blood and no longer alive.

The criminal's skills were sophisticated and he should be a well-trained assassin. He quickly ended the Pope's life and then sneaked away from the scene.

It was uncomfortable to witness someone being killed while she was powerless, and Alice resented her own incompetence.But the scene no longer allowed her to feel sorry for herself. Vician and Caschia were already chasing the assassin in a black cloak.

She had to take action, even for the sake of the Pope who never forgot to pray for the safety of his apprentice even if his throat was slit.

--------------------------------

"Aha! I knew it!"

Seeing the assassin struggling to move the statue to reveal the secret door under the floor, Visian slapped his thigh and started shouting excitedly.

"There was an orphanage nearby, and that orphanage was used as a rebel stronghold."

"I once discovered a secret passage there. Unexpectedly, the orphanage turned into a church, and even the secret passage was blocked with idols."

Visian briefly explained the reason why he was so excited. As soon as he finished speaking, he passed through the statue and disappeared, and must have entered a secret passage.

Fortunately, they no longer had a physical body and did not have to expend a lot of effort to push the statue away like the assassin. Alice successfully entered the secret passage. Not far away from her, the prisoner was already advancing quickly with a torch.

If other people saw this scene, they might be regarded as three vicious evil spirits chasing a tomb robber.

The assassin looked well prepared. He turned around without looking, bypassed all the mechanisms, and ran towards the bright exit.

The pursuit of Alice and the three of them also came to an end at this time. Just when Caschia stretched out his hand and was about to grab the assassin's back collar, a familiar light enveloped them.

"Boom"

The old bronze bell in the church rang again, and Alice looked at her hands. They seemed to have experienced a time travel, and everything that happened in the past was imprinted in their minds.

They pushed the statue open with the memories they had, and the secret door exactly like that of the time appeared in front of them.

"Walk?"

"Let's go and see where that guy escaped to."

Wei Xi'an's words were like a clarion call before action. The three of them lifted the rusty iron door together, and their hands were stained with some blood.

The secret passage connected by the secret door is very dark. Fortunately, with the existence of a mage like Alice, the three of them don't have to move forward in darkness.

This is a little magic that Alice learned from Clem not long ago. She used her own magic as a medium to create several radiant magic balls.Those magic balls floated in front of Alice, relying on the light emitted by these little guys, they moved along the route they had seen before.

Turn left at the last fork in the road, and after dodging the iron balls dropped from the ceiling, the exit is in front of everyone.Alice was the last one to walk out of the secret passage. They had not been able to follow the prisoner out of the exit just now, and this time they really saw the world behind the door with their own eyes.

The iron gate of the secret passage is connected to the water channel, and the source of the water channel extends all the way to Ander behind the high wall.This is where the prisoners escaped. Alice bent down and tried to find clues from the messy land.

I don’t know what kind of cover-up the assassin used, but no footprints were left on the ground. Just when everyone stood up and gave up, Alice kicked a hard object.

Caschia picked up the dagger that Alice had lifted to his feet, and recognized it as the one that had pierced the Pope's heart.

This is good news. Although the escaped assassin was not caught, at least the murder weapon was found, right?

Just like every perfect crime in this world will leave clues, this dagger brought them a new clue.

This clue led them to a blacksmith shop inside the imperial capital, where all the mysteries were about to unfold.

——TBC——

Chapter 25 The Girl with the Sickle Blade

Caschia completely untied the loose wrappings on the dagger handle, revealing the words hidden underneath.

"Lidstone"

A certain craftsman carved his name on his forged object, and Visian was quite familiar with this name.

When he saw this name, he was not only surprised, but also a little gloating.He once invited this craftsman to build weapons for himself, but he was rejected.

"This is interesting."

Speaking of this craftsman named Lead Stone, his blacksmith shop happens to be near the church, which is extremely easy to find.Caschia put the dagger away properly, and then he checked the area more carefully. After confirming with the other two that nothing could be found, he decided to "visit" the famous craftsman later. .

---------------------------------

It took them some time to return to the church through the secret passage. When they walked out of the church, the sky completely changed from red to pitch black.

It is now seven o'clock in the afternoon, and most people have already had dinner and are ready to enjoy the nightlife, except for Alice and her friends.

The three of them were walking in the street, and after a while they stood in front of the blacksmith shop named by the blacksmith Stone.

The door of the blacksmith shop was locked, and there were still some sparks splashing out of the forge in the open space beside it.Wei Xi'an stretched out his hand and knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. He couldn't help but take out the lock pick from the secret bag and planned to break in by force.

With a few slight clicks, the door of the blacksmith shop opened to everyone like an enthusiastic lady.Alice followed last. She stuck her head out to explore the room. The room was pitch dark. Normally, few people would fall asleep at this time.

Unless the other party was away, and that was the case, the blacksmith Lidstone was nowhere to be found, and they were gone empty-handed.

Unwilling to give up, Wei Xi'an walked out of the blacksmith shop and knocked on the doors of several residents next door. After he knocked on the third door tirelessly, they finally got a clue about the blacksmith.

"Lid, I saw him walking towards the tavern not long ago."

"That kid even told me that he won't come home until he's drunk today."

This is what a resident who lives near the blacksmith shop said. He happens to be a drinking buddy of the blacksmith Lidl and even met him once this morning.

It was really exciting to get this news. Alice and the others arrived at the tavern at the intersection without stopping. Caschia, as the oldest one, opened the door first to ensure that the underage Alice would not see anything she shouldn't. People watching.

What?As for Visian, who has only been an adult for two years?That guy has long been able to drive the carriage of love speeding down the road, and no one cares whether he gets corns or not.

The heavy wooden door just made a harsh "squeak" sound, and Caschia closed it very quickly. It was not because someone behind the door was slapping his tongue wildly at the other person's face, but because several table knives were pointing at him. Attack at the door.The man who threw the knife must have been very strong. The table knife usually used to cut steaks was nailed to the door, and part of the tip of the knife even penetrated the wood directly.

The three people were frightened to varying degrees. Caschia opened the door slowly and carefully this time.They saw a fight taking place in the tavern. The young girl stepped on the edge of the table and was holding a burly man in one hand.She also held several table knives in her other hand, and it was obvious that the "meeting gift" nailed to the door came from her.

"Wow."

"Can't be offended, can't be offended."

"Slip away, slip away."

This was the unanimous thought of Alice's three-person team. They clung to the wall and moved to the bar amid the girl's violent curses and beatings.The boss behind the bar was very calm. He leisurely wiped the glass in his hand and hummed an unknown tune.

Wei Xi'an stood in front of the bar and chatted with the bar owner. His speaking speed was much faster than usual, and there was a hint in his tone that he wanted to finish things early and run away early.

Isn't this the case for Alice? She saw another person being beaten to the ground by a girl and then thrown out casually. She thought to herself, "There are also such strange beasts."At the same time, in order to avoid being accidentally injured by the drunken and violent girl, she was also urging the boss to quickly recall where the damn blacksmith was.

When Alice and Vician questioned the bar owner, Caschia, who had been silent until now, suddenly let out a loud shout. He reached over Vician and pushed Alice to the ground.

The sound of breaking the air and the sound of the glass bottle breaking sounded at the same time. Glass fragments flew everywhere, and some fragments almost cut Alice's arm.

Alice was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly. She stood up shakily with Caschia's help. When she stood up, the first thing she saw was the scythe lying in front of her.

The handle of the sickle was extremely long, and the blade was embedded in the wine cabinet behind the bar. The chain connected to the bottom of the sickle was dangling in the air because it was being pulled by someone.

Alice looked along the chain, and saw the strange girl walking towards this side with heavy steps.Alice let out a shameful scream, like a drunkard who had been punched hard in the face.

"Feel sorry."

The girl said vaguely when she took back her scythe. Judging from her messy steps and the smell of alcohol, she must have drank a lot.

When Alice smelled the other person's scent, her wallet ached for some reason. This was probably her imagination.The girl with the scythe came and went in a hurry. She returned to her original seat, picked up a glass of beer on the table and poured it into her stomach.

No one dared to move at all. The girl knocked down most of the people like a berserker, and most of them were lying on the ground groaning in pain.Seeing this hell on earth, no one would have the courage to provoke her again.

However, it happened. Wei Xi'an keenly noticed that someone was staggering down from the second floor. That person was very familiar to Wei Xi'an.Isn't it the blacksmith Lid? According to his route of action, it seems that he intends to come to the hall.

"Which bastard is interrupting my good deeds!"
