Chapter 33 Crazy monk
When he saw the strange man wearing a hood holding a dagger on his wife's neck, Dmitri, who walked out of the secret passage, witnessed this scene and felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained for a moment.
He stood frozen in place, while the hair-raising fear surged from his bones to every pore of his skin.
Who is the other party? What does he want to do? Has the matter been exposed? In the blink of an eye, several thoughts quickly passed through Dmitri's mind. If it is a thief, then there is still room for lingering, but if it is a rebel
If so, then all of them will die without a burial place today. Thinking of this, nervous sweat also flowed across his forehead.
But what the other party said next made the nervous doctor unexpected, and to be precise, it was even unbelievable.
"Dr. Dmitry? It was Hendril who asked me to come. Your wife was a little agitated just now, so I had to take some drastic measures." The man said and loosened his grip on Zuo.
He put his hand on Mrs. Yi's shoulder and took the dagger away from her neck.
"I don't know you, who are you?"
Immediately holding his frightened wife in his arms, Dr. Dmitry looked at the man in front of him warily and doubtfully. Logically speaking, his identity had never been exposed in Agrinion. How did the other party know about him?
Because of his relationship with Hendril, Dmitry still kept a distance from him as he did not dare to trust the other party easily.
The man didn't seem to be in a hurry to gain trust. Instead of answering Dmitri's question, he asked: "Where are the princesses and the others? I think they are still safe, right?"
"There is no princess here. I don't understand what you are talking about. Please leave. I am just a poor doctor. There is nothing valuable here. If you like something, just take it away as long as you don't hurt my family!"
When the other party mentioned Princess Agelina, instead of believing the other party, Dmitri became more vigilant. He had to be careful whether this was a false test by the other party.
The man also noticed Dr. Dmitry's caution against him, so he put his hand into his pocket without further explanation.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just showing you something."
The man took out a small seal from the pocket sewn on the shirt in his arms, threw it to Dmitri, and said calmly: "I think you should recognize this thing, doctor. As a last resort, Hendry
That guy will not give this thing to anyone else, it must be someone he trusts, can you trust me now?"
"This is..." Looking at the shiny golden seal in his hand that had some traces of time on it, Demetri recognized at a glance that this was indeed Hendril's private seal. This was the original seal he had entrusted to Thebes.
There will never be a second one made by a craftsman. And very few people knew about the existence of this seal. When the man in front of him took out this thing, Dmitri finally let go of his guard.
"So Mr. Hendril is really fine. So is he also in the city now?" There has been no news for two months. Dmitri has always been very worried about Hendril's current situation, but now he is looking at it.
As a man, he can finally let go of his hanging heart.
But the man shook his head and said: "I can only say that it's okay for the time being, and that guy Hendriel is not in Agrinion now. I was also asked by him to sneak into the city in order to protect the princess, mother and daughter.
.”
"Before that-" Hearing the man's answer, Dmitri finally understood why the other party came to the door. It turned out that he was the one who rescued the princess and her daughter.
"It's me, that's right." The man took off his hood, allowing Dmitry and his wife to finally see his face clearly.
"But just now, doctor, you said something wrong. We have known each other before." A scarred face was exposed from under the hood. The bruises at the corners of the eyes and the torn and scabbed lips were obviously left behind not long ago.
Bottom. Looking at the somewhat deformed, fat head and the sparse hair on the top of his head, it was really difficult to recognize his original appearance, but Dmitri could still remember the face in front of him.
"It's you!" The surprised doctor couldn't believe his eyes. Standing here was the half-dead mad monk who was sent to his place at noon.
But at this time, there was no trace of madness in this man's clear eyes, so much so that Dr. Dmitry was not sure that they were the same person.
But the other party nodded and said: "I haven't thanked you yet, doctor. Thanks to you, I was not beaten to death by those people. Let me introduce myself, Friar Sergius, I am in St. Irene's
We were old friends with Hendriel when he was a priest in the Cathedral of Na. But that was after he left Thebes and went to Constantinople."
"St. Irina's Cathedral, Priest, why are you..." After hearing the origin of the other party, Dmitri couldn't help but be shocked. The priests of Constantinople are very noble, and it is said that they will get something even if they are on the run.
Courtesy of a noble, but why would such a cleric with an unusual status be in such a state of embarrassment and almost beaten to death?
Sergius smiled calmly and said: "After the fall of Constantinople, the church I was in was looted by the Latins, and several of my friends even died in the hands of those guys. It was also lucky that I was killed by my disciples.
I only managed to save my life after being rescued. Therefore, the priests who were obsessed with the camp in the past had already died in the fire, and only I, the crazy monk who redeemed his sins, was left. But those people who wanted to kill me during the day were not because of my words, but because of my words.
It's because I heard their plan in the church. If I hadn't made a decisive decision and pretended to be crazy, and the princess and the others happened to be passing by, I might not have been able to see you, and I wouldn't have been able to save Princess Ajilina and Her Highness Irina."
Having said this, Sergius smiled. However, his seemingly understatement made Dmitry and Zoe sweat from behind. The danger in this was self-evident. Thinking of this
Dmitri looked at the "crazy monk" with more admiration in his eyes.
"So what's the situation in the city now? Mr. Hendryer should have already made a plan when he sent you here, right?" Dmitri looked at the other party. At this time, Sin was concerned about nothing more than this. They were only safe for the time being. If they rebelled,
The army conducted a thorough investigation, and he was not sure he could hide it anymore.
But the "crazy monk" did not give him the answer he expected. "This rebellion has been planned for a long time. Hendryl almost died in the hands of those people. When he came to his senses, it was too late. Now Theo
Prince Dor is dead, and key figures from the major families are under house arrest. It is only a matter of time before the rebels join forces with Rusnina."
"What should we do?" Listening to Sergius's narration, the mood became heavier and heavier, and Dmitry and Zoe couldn't help but panic.
But Sergius was very calm. He looked at the two and replied in a non-joking tone: "Wait. Before we came here, Hendril said that he would find a way, but we have to buy him time.
"
Wait? Mr. and Mrs. Dmitri looked at each other. Although they were willing to believe Hendriel, the words of the "crazy monk" still made them unsure. Do they really need to take such a big risk? After all, the renovation belongs to the nobles.
What happened? Just when they were hesitant, Sergius's other words shocked the couple.
"I heard in the church that the Patriarch who had defected to the rebels said that they had colluded with Mikhail Dukas and were preparing to flank the noble army stationed in Western Macedonia. They were preparing to use this method to completely suppress the rebels and follow their actions.
Style will inevitably flow into a river of blood. Although there is not much time left for us, we must try to stop it all."
When they thought of their only son who was still in the army, the couple finally made up their mind.
"So what do you need us to do?" Dmitri volunteered, patting his chest.
"Wait a minute, where are the princess and the others?" Sergius asked.
"I was a little frightened and have already settled down."
"Then there's no need to disturb them." Sergius originally had something to say, but after thinking for a moment, he changed his mind and looked at the doctor and his wife in front of him and said.
