Chapter 366: Seural's Guess
Then, Seural ignored Jossen and directly assigned a priest to come forward and explain the incident to Jossen. This kind of thing happened in the imperial capital, and it was impossible for the Garrison Bureau to completely stay out of the matter, and Seural was not interested in continuing to fight with Qiao Sen, so naturally he could only do it for his subordinates.
Coming to the ruins of the first half of the church of St. Joel, Seural silently looked at the blood stains of the victims of the church and the pieces of ruins that remained on the ground, and only felt that a fire was burning in his heart.
'Demon Seed...... When the time comes, I will slowly scorch your filthy souls with holy flames, and purify the darkness from your bodies...... Hmm? Wait a minute'
Seural, who was spinning with a determination for revenge in his heart, suddenly moved in his heart and realized that something seemed to be wrong.
'Filth...... Wait!In that case......
Shural looked at the ruins in front of him again, a glimmer of light condensed in the pupils of his eyes, but he had once again blessed himself with the spell of the visual detection system.
After scanning back and forth several times, gradually, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Strange, isn't it ......?" Sheral withdrew his visual detection spell and glanced back at Jossen, who was asking one of his gray-robed priests about the incident, his eyes flickering with a hint of strangeness.
After looking at it for a long time, Seural shook his head again, and no longer lingered at the site of the ruins, and walked back to the rest area of the second half of the church, which had been guarded by himself and intact.
"My lord, what are you going to do next?" After entering the house, Eli followed Seural's steps step by step, and respectfully asked.
"The original plan remains the same, but no matter what kind of response the prophetic priest at the church headquarters will give in the end, remember to add an additional ......" Shural said without looking back, and after a slight hesitation, he suddenly added, "No, apply for reinforcements from two more cardinals." ”
"Apply for reinforcements at the level of two black monks?!" Eli couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard this, "My lord, can't even you suppress the strength of the enemy you are facing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eli regretted it, after all, he asked this, which was tantamount to questioning Seural's decision-making and questioning Seural's strength at the same time.
But it's no wonder that he has lost his temper, and his own status in the Holy Light Church is that of a black-clothed bishop, although his seniority in the church is still relatively young compared to others, but in terms of strength, Seural is not much worse than other bishops of the same level.
The black-clothed bishops of the Holy Light Church, each of them basically has the strength of military-level elf envoys, and this time they ask for two more reinforcements, plus Shural himself, it is equivalent to needing three military-level elf envoys to deal with the events on the empire's side, which will of course surprise Eli, who only has military-level strength.
"Just in case. Shural didn't care about Eli's gaffe, and continued in a flat tone: "Through tonight's actions, at least through that low-level demon species, it can be confirmed that the information here about the haunting of the demon contractor is indeed true, and it is not in vain that we have been busy in this heretic country for so long. ”
Eli asked curiously, "So, my lord, is tonight's attack and the misfortune of Pastor Solai during the day all the work of those filthy and damned demon species?"
As he spoke, a look of hatred appeared in his eyes again. Whether it was the death or injury of half of the church destroyed in tonight's attack and the fellow church members who were in it, or what happened to his friends who went out to carry out heretical crusades during the day, Eli's heart was filled with hatred for the murderer who did these things.
"No, not necessarily. However, Eli was responded to by Seural's denial.
"Huh?" Eli wondered.
Isn't it the work of the demon species? In that case, what about the little demon eye before?
"At first, I thought it was mostly the devil's doing. Shural slowly said a hypothesis: "But think about it carefully, if I take a different position, if I find out that the Dark Church's stronghold has been attacked by unknown people, no matter what the truth is, we and the Dark Church are mortal enemies, right?
"Yes, it is indeed as you say. Eli nodded, then suddenly came back to his senses, "Hmm?!, you mean ......"
Eli wasn't stupid either, and Seural's prompt was obvious enough for him to understand his boss's thoughts at once.
"You're right. Seural nodded, and continued to say his guess: "That little magic eye may just be a monitor sent by a certain demon contractor who happens to be lurking in the imperial capital to investigate information, it is just a pathfinder, maybe it is not the same party as the murderer who attacked and destroyed the church this time!"
"Ju, how can this ......?!" Eli couldn't help but feel annoyed while admiring Seural's insight, because if Seural's guess was true, then the situation would be more complicated and tricky.
Needless to say, the demon species is definitely the sworn enemy of their Holy Light Church, and this stance will not change regardless of whether the other party participated in tonight's attack or not. The question now is, it seems that their church has a third-party enemy other than the demon species?
It doesn't matter if the ordinary enemy is not, anyway, there are more shrimp who are hostile to their Holy Light Church, but this time the person who did it was able to sneak attack under the nose of Shural without leaving a trace, which is obviously not easy to deal with.
"But Lord Shural, even if that's the case, it might just be the work of another demon species, after all, the demon species are not monolithic?"
"What you said is possible, but I suddenly remembered a little earlier. Do you think back to the power of the sneak attacker at the beginning of tonight, and you sense something wrong with it, like disgust or something?"
"It feels ......" Eli pondered for a moment, then shook his head apologetically and replied, "I'm sorry, Lord Shoral, I don't seem to feel like that." ”
"yes, no, that's what's wrong. Seural narrowed his eyes: "Don't forget, the nature of the Holy Spirit Power of our church is the opposite of the magic power of those filthy demon species! In any case, since the enemy who destroyed the church used that level of attack, it is impossible not to leave a trace of energy left on the scene, especially since I have confirmed it with visual exploration! However, we did not feel any disgust or rejection of this at that time......
Eli finally reacted: "That's right, since we don't have a feeling of disgust and rejection, it means that it is not the power of the demon species!"
