Chapter 90: The Crater
"Old people always like to reminisce about the past, like me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoHis Majesty the Emperor died a strange death...... And now that I think about it, from the advice you gave at the time and the Empire's order, no matter how you look at it, it was intended to send us people to death, so that you could control the little prince alone. Along these lines, I found these. ”
A cloud of ashes appeared out of thin air in front of the "mage", and then it turned into a letter with the papal ring seal sealing wax, and the letter turned into the heads of several people, who were ministers in the military department at that time.
These men were directly involved in the development of the plan for the surprise attack on Castle Black, which was a suicide attack in any way.
As time passed, these ministers revealed their identities as ministers of the Holy See.
"Nice illusion."
Charles I sighed: "That's right, I did it." Anyway, it was for my personal career...... Oh, and for the sake of the whole Holy See and the glory of the Lord. Jack had gone too far at the time, and if he continued, the church would either perish or become a tool in his hands. ”
Speaking of this, Charles I suddenly stretched out his arm and threw out a white energy body.
The orb was filled with terrifying magic, as hot and dazzling as a small sun.
"Now that you've got the truth from me, you should die without regrets, right?"
With a wave of his hand, the sphere turned into a streamer of light and broke through the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The effect of the Pope's magic spell "Father's Eye" is almost magical, not only can he see through the illusion in front of him, but he can also follow the magic line that manipulates the illusion to find the location of the illusion's owner.
The illusion of the young mage vanished in an instant, as if the source had really been cut off.
But the four-colored ball of energy that flew in the illusion's hand also shot towards the Pope at the same time.
For a time, the papal chamber erupted in devastating flames, hail and lightning, followed by earthquakes and hurricanes.
By the time all the overload had subsided, a corner of the hall had collapsed.
Naturally, all the candles were extinguished.
But under such a powerful magic, Charles I did not seem to be harmed.
It's just that in the dark hall, His Majesty the Pope, who has lost the light of the candlelight, looks much weirder at this time.
"Failed?"
He muttered to himself.
Then, facing the guards who had re-entered the temple. "Go and tell Gerald to wait for me in my study." ”
Seeing that one of them had taken the order, His Majesty the Pope turned and walked towards the side hall.
The mess in the Pope's Hall will naturally be cleaned up.
――――――――――――――――――
"I smell conspiracy. Gerald is just a disobedient martial artist, what can he do? ”
Walk through several cloisters. A hoarse and strange voice came from the shadow of His Majesty the Pope.
"Calling him here for another matter. The people from the Shadow Club have been checking for a while, and a lot of unrelated people have been arrested, but they don't seem to be looking in the right direction. Since you also find it strange, then ask your people to check it out. ”
"Another conspiracy against His Majesty the Pope, the enemy must be incomparably strong. The Lord of our people will ask for more benefits. ”
"Greedy and shameless."
The Pope said expressionlessly: "Tell him that when this matter is over, the Southern Forest or the Divine Bless City, you can take whatever you want." ”
"I will definitely convey it."
"Move fast, or he won't get anything."
"Yes."
――――――――――――――――――
A few hours later, a group of Paladins surrounded a hill dozens of kilometers from the city of Leyte.
Eventually, they found a huge open-air crater on the top of the mountain that looked like it had been formed by a meteorite impact.
The crater is several hundred meters in diameter, and the ground in the center has clearly undergone a process of melting and re-solidifying, forming a volcanic ground.
Scattered glass debris and sand and gravel with welded plates were scattered everywhere, showing the power of His Majesty's magic.
But in the very center of this miserable ground there is a small piece of land intact.
The land is only one meter square. It seems to be just enough to stand alone. There are still remnants of mana fluctuations on the ground from casting protective magic.
――――――――――――――――
Night Moon and his party have arrived at Lavi Harbor.
She obviously didn't plan to stay long, but ignored the ship's owner, Colbert, and prepared to go to the imperial capital of Wright by land immediately.
The priest Helen, the "mercenary captain" Susan, the team member Kevin, the "maid" Lajou, and the little orc Mo are all going to accompany them.
Helen joined on an ad hoc basis from the start.
Because she wants to stay away from "Sister Isa", she is ready to go back to practice and pray for "Sister Isa" by the way.
So her destination happened to be Wright's monastery, and "Mr. Wende" also took the initiative to invite her, so it was a natural choice to take a hitchhike to Wright via Port Ravi.
Moreover, she is the same age as the mercenary trio, and she has been trapped on the same ship for several days, so naturally she quickly got acquainted.
Plus there is some curiosity about "Mr. Wende". So now it becomes a matter of course to continue to follow along.
These days, she slowly discovers that all three of them are excellent young talents.
Kevin didn't seem to have much confidence, but he practiced his sword extremely hard, even on a rocking ship. He also wakes up early and swings his sword thousands of times a day.
His swordsmanship skills are therefore excellent, and judging by the number of his swordsmanship, I am afraid that it is some kind of ancient school. I don't know which master of swordsmanship is a high apprentice.
If you can have a little more self-confidence and temper more in actual combat, the future will definitely be bright.
Susan, on the other hand, is extremely lazy. Self-confidence is bursting.
But there's a reason why she's so confident, because her qualifications are ridiculously good.
She knows a lot of swordsmanship, and in an occasional encounter with Kevin, she has changed thirteen obviously different swordsmanship. Although he is not necessarily more effective than Kevin, who fights with only one type of swordsmanship, but being able to integrate so many swordsmanship, this person is simply a genius.
And she herself said that she learned these swordsmanship just by looking at them, and rarely practiced them after learning them.
Next to a genius like her, poor Kevin seemed even less confident.
And this head of the regiment obviously has good magical qualifications, and he can also use a few low-level magic.
But among the three, the one with the best magical qualifications, and I'm afraid the strongest combat power, is the completely inconspicuous "maid" Lajou.
In just a few days, Helen saw her frolicking with summoned nature spirits, immobilizing seabirds in the sky with force field magic, and even cleaning rooms with low-level spells.
She didn't have to use spells at all, and the ability to invoke those mysterious elements seemed to be part of her instinct. She used some low-level magic, just like those mortals raised their arms and thighs.
Susan has flaunted her vision and means more than once - just running away from home once, catching the fool who is willing to contribute her family to the mercenary headquarters on the first day, and picking up a master of magic the next day.
Susan has been trying to convince Helen these days to "pick her up" even her.
In her words, "The mercenary group already has a leader, a swordsman, and a magician, and only a priest is needed." ”
Naturally, Helen has always been polite.
However, even the "head of the group" Susan does not know the origin of Lajou at all.
It's not that Lajou won't tell her "captain", it's that she seems to have lost her memory when she finds out.
She was standing in front of a grilled seafood stall in Said, staring at the steaming grilled fish in a daze.
According to her own recollection, she had not eaten for three days at that time.
Susan dragged a magical genius like her into the "Silver Dragon Mercenary Group" for only one meal, again with Kevin's money.
After that, the magical genius was willingly dressed up as a little maid by the wicked Susan, and really took care of Susan's diet and daily life like a maid.
However, the most mysterious in this team has to be said to be "Mr. Wende". (To be continued.) )
