171. We're going to fight back too!
Gallo's side was thinking about how to deal with the Daystar Sect, and the other party's high-level leaders were not idle, and were nervously meeting to discuss the matter.
More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Daystar Sect are nested in a conference room, which is located in an unusually luxurious church, second only to the three major orthodox churches in terms of floor space and hardware facilities, and is considered the fourth largest church in the city.
This place originally belonged to the Cult of Light, but like the Cult of Wisdom, they suffered heavy casualties in the invasion of the evil gods, and were taken over by the Morning Star Sect and set it up as the central cathedral in the City of Innocence.
This conference room has been renovated, and the walls are painted with artistic night sky and stars, and sitting in it makes you feel like you are in a sea of stars, which can make people involuntarily feel the vastness and immensity of the starry sky.
But the people who sat inside were indeed pale and did not say a word, and they gathered in a circle, and in the middle lay the body of the assassinated priest, who had been cold.
The body was intact, and there was not the slightest scar visible on the body, but the person died so suddenly, so strangely, it was really confusing.
In addition, the assassin's origin, purpose, and mastermind behind it are even more inscrutable.
And the captain of the guards who hasn't returned yet... That's a second-order divine envoy, why did he disappear for some reason?
A series of troublesome questions made the atmosphere in the conference room very solemn, and no one spoke out, let alone spoke.
After a long silence, a man with a hooked nose and a shiny bald head spoke:
"Why don't you self-proclaimed experts, strong people, smart people, stop talking? Aren't they all usually able to speak? β
His voice was originally low and calm, but the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he shouted angrily in a loud voice:
"Why can't you even figure out the cause of the death of the priest of Koren?"
As he became angry, black lines appeared on his face, on his bald head, and on his bare arms, which looked like tattoos, but like moving creatures, and kept twisting and writhing, as if trying to form some pattern.
Seeing this, the faces of the few people next to them suddenly changed greatly, and they hurriedly shouted:
"It's not good, Elder Wade has a seizure, bring a woman in!"
The clergymen who had been waiting outside the conference room hurriedly led in a young female believer dressed in the same black sect and with a beautiful face.
With a fanatical light on her face, the female believer willingly knelt in front of the bald head and did her best to serve it.
The bald head took a deep breath, his mood was temporarily calmed, and the black lines on his body gradually faded.
"Hmph~ Compared to the witch, it's still a little worse than the taste after all..."
He glanced at the female disciple who was trying to swallow with some disgust, and continued to speak as if nothing had happened:
"The Priest of Coron was my mentor, my friend, and my introducer... Although I was lucky enough to enter the Senate by the favor of the stars, I will always regard him as my elder..."
"I know him very well, with his strength, with his prudence, it is impossible for him to die at the hands of some witch, those little can't bear to murder a priest in public..."
"Don't make excuses for your incompetence!"
As he spoke, he reached out and slammed the woman's head hard.
A squinting man next to him, who was also strong, but wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked like an intellectual, spoke up:
"Wade, I thought you should learn to be calm and restrained when you came to the City of Innocence, but I didn't expect that you still need this method?"
"I've always been calm, it's just that the blood of the star god in my body is boiling."
The bald head said with disdain, his body trembled suddenly, and the black lines on his body finally disappeared completely.
"Go to my room and wait for me."
The bald head patted the female believer's head with satisfaction, told her to stand back, and continued with a melancholy expression:
"Maybe the plan went too smoothly and we were a little negligent, so we lost our beloved Priest Koren..."
"I can understand your feelings, Wade, but this is not the time to be sad, we still have a lot to think about..."
Squint can directly call the bald head by his name, and his tone is not polite at all, indicating that his position is the same level as the bald head, and he is also the power class of the Daystar Sect, a member of the Senate.
The two of them were the supreme leaders of the sect on the side of the City of Innocence, and they were also the most powerful third-order divine envoys in the sect, with strength comparable to that of demigods.
But they don't have the suffocating substance of a demigod powerhouse, they don't even have much power fluctuation, and they don't even have a specific rank, so they can hide from everyone's sight and enter the city of innocence.
The two patriarchs with demigod-level combat power successfully entered the City of Innocence without attracting the attention of the Orthodox Church, which is the advantage of the Rising Star Sect and one of the hole cards they rely on.
The plan went quite smoothly, and the Orthodox Church, as they expected, was sluggish, stupid, arrogant, and did not put up any effective resistance, and even the wall of sighs on their hole cards to save their lives could not be repaired, which made people laugh.
But the death of an important priest gave them a blow in the face, reminding them that the enemy they had to face might not be just Orthodoxy?
At this time, an old man next to him, who was also dressed as the chief priest, suddenly spoke:
"This... Could it be that the 'mystery' did it? β
"I can think of an organization that has the ability to do this kind of thing, and has strange methods, and is not known in itself."
The bald Wade glanced at him with some amusement and asked rhetorically:
"How could you believe that madman? Do you really think that there is some unknown mysterious sect in this world, and it still has a terrifying mysterious power in its hands? β
"But he's an important ally of ours, isn't he?"
The priest retorted in a whisper.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that you are so naΓ―ve when you are so old?"
"Where are there any allies in this world? All we can rely on is ourselves and the care of Daystar! β
"What's more, this is a guy who betrayed his mentor, and I won't believe anything he says."
After thinking about it carefully, the squinting eyes on the side also shook their heads, and said in a fairly gentle tone:
"On this point, I agree with Wade, there should not be such a sect in this world, because it is not logical and common sense."
"You have great power, but you're willing to be incognito? Don't have the strength to satisfy your desires and needs? β
"How can there be such a person in this world? Are you crazy and stupid? β
"What's more, even the apostate can't be sure if this sect still exists, and even if they do, as long as our plans go ahead, there's nothing to fear!"
When the chief priest heard the two high-ranking patriarchs say this, he naturally didn't dare to say more, and lowered his head in shame.
However, his ridiculous statement also opened the minds of others, and they all expressed their own thoughts and discussed.
"Could it be a high-ranking assassin from some assassin organization?"
"High-ranking assassins never assassinate, don't you even know this bit of common sense? In my opinion, the biggest murderers are still those Orthodox Christians, and they still have some powerful magic in their hands. β
"But I didn't find the slightest fluctuation of magic at the scene... I'm still sticking to my point of view, this should be a poisoning case, and those little are very good at concocting poison..."
Everyone's statements were varied, but none of them were marginal, which made the squint-eyed patriarch frown when he heard it, and finally couldn't help it, and shouted angrily:
"Enough!"
Black lines also appeared on his face, which frightened everyone into silence.
But he was probably more powerful than a bald head, and he didn't need the help of a woman, so those lines melted down by themselves and returned to normal.
"These questions can be investigated slowly, but what is important is what do we do next?"
The other priests and captains of the guards present proposed:
"Send men first and retrieve Captain Bruce, every oracle is an important force in the sect."
"Captain Bruce is a second-order divine envoy, his strength is outstanding, there is no opponent below the legendary level, there is no one in this city who can threaten him, the worst case should be trapped by the enemy, or led away by that assassin?"
"He might be having a good time in the bed of some noble lady, and with the charm of Captain Bruce, what woman isn't handy?"
"I also believe in the quality of Captain Bruce, and compared to where he goes, I think this is an opportunity to make a move..."
"Since Orthodoxy is our greatest enemy, and we have lost a beloved priest, there is every reason to make the enemy pay the same price..."
"For example... Leaving a Divine Light Cult bishop missing? β
As soon as he heard others mention this, the bald head suddenly became sexual, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, I like the idea!"
He had long heard that the Divine Light Sect had a young and beautiful female bishop, who not only had the title of a genius magic girl, but also had a charm no less than that of a witch.
You can take advantage of the death of the main priest to take the opportunity to make trouble and capture this young bishop and enjoy it...
The squinting eyes on the side probably guessed the thoughts of his companion, and hurriedly persuaded:
"I heard that Bishop is the jewel of the Divine Light Sect, and if you attack her, it is likely to cause conflict in advance, and we are not ready for anything yet..."
"Hmph~ Are you still afraid that the Orthodox Church's combat power will not be successful? In front of the power of the stars, they are as ridiculous as bugs. β
The bald head said disdainfully.
"No, I'm just worried about the possible angel..."
Squint explained.
"That angel must not appear at random, otherwise the Orthodox Church would have called him out, and this must require complicated preparations..."
"Why don't we use this to test it?"
