Chapter Ninety-One: The Holy Maiden of the State Religion
The headquarters of the Wizards' Guild is located in the imperial capital of Castro, and there are also branches in major cities in the provinces, and Luther City is no exception, and the building that Nigel walked into is the Wizards' Guild chapter in Luther City.
The building of the Sorcerer's Guild presents a low-key luxury, and ordinary people can only see the ornate decoration of the exterior, but they have no idea that the staircase to enter the door is paved with cedar stone of comparable value to silver, although it looks like it is just ordinary blue and white stone.
Nigel walked into the Wizards' Guild and was immediately approached by someone who led him into a specially prepared room to ensure that no one could listen to the conversation.
Nigel walked to a stone platform and sat down, took off his gloves and stretched out his hands to touch the stone platform, and activated the fifth-order magic array on the stone platform with his spiritual power, and after about five minutes, the upper body of a person appeared on the stone platform.
This is a fifth-order wind magic called "spatial mapping", which can map a person's voice and face to the same magic array engraved on it, providing great convenience for human long-distance communication.
The legend of spatial mapping magic was invented by an enchanter named Antonio Muzzi and is more than four hundred years old. The use of spatial mapping must rely on enchantment to achieve, and there are also high requirements for enchantment materials, and must have a high affinity for the wind element.
In the early days, the communication station could only communicate point-to-point, and there were still some inconveniences, so magicians continued to try to improve their magic methods, but did not make much breakthroughs, but only improved from the original sound transmission to be able to transmit images. But human wisdom is great, and the magicians who stand at the top of human wisdom still came up with a solution, that is, to set up a magic communication headquarters in the Magicians Association, all the communication stations are first connected to the communication stations of the headquarters, and then transferred by the communication stations of the headquarters to the communication stations that want to communicate, although it is more cumbersome and requires a lot of manpower, but it is undoubtedly a huge progress.
In modern times, the Magic Communication Headquarters has registered and numbered all the communication stations in the country, creating a virtual space, in which all the communication stations are set up as a space node, when someone activates the magic "space mapping", this virtual space will also appear in their minds, lock the space node for them through the number, and then connect him to the communication station he wants to contact. As complicated as it sounds, it's a matter of seconds, but it takes some time to wait for the other party to respond.
The communication station can not only be seen in the Wizards' Association, but also among many nobles or wealthy merchants, and the price is around 3,000 gold coins, which is naturally not too expensive for the upper class.
At this time, Nigel's communication partner was not in the Wizards' Guild, but in an office in a corner of the Imperial Palace, and although it was inconspicuous, its name was terrifying, that is, MI7. MI7 is known as the Seventh Intelligence Bureau of the Imperial Army, and its public duty is to protect the security of His Majesty's access, but in fact, it is mainly responsible for handling various intelligence gathering and assassination missions for His Majesty the Emperor.
At that time, the Duke of Geraldine threatened to eliminate harm for the country, completely ignoring the authority of the emperor, and then he was assassinated by MI7, but it ended in failure, and the true face of MI7 was also revealed by Duke Geraldine in public, which embarrassed the emperor for a while. Since then, however, MI7 has become known to the Empire, and many nobles have expressed their dissatisfaction with it, but successive emperors have never intended to abolish MI7 until now.
Seeing that the communication was successful, Nigel immediately saluted the other party and said respectfully: "I've seen the sir!" ”
The face of the person who communicated with Nigel was also difficult to see, his voice was thick and somewhat nasal, and it seemed to be a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, who returned the salute and said, "How is the task done?" ”
Nigel shook his head and said, "There is no investigation in Luther City about 'that one'. ”
"Really...... The replies from the others have almost come in, and it seems that nothing has been found. Has he already left Lutheran? The MI7 commander pondered for a moment and then said, "You stand by in Luther City first, and I will go to His Majesty the Emperor to explain the situation to him." ”
With that, the image in front of Nigel went out, and Nigel stood up and saluted, then put on his gloves again and left the room.

The imperial capital of Castro, the Royal Palace.
Todd Frank got up from the messenger desk, straightened his military uniform, and walked to the Emperor's office, each step keeping the same pace, and after passing through several corridors, he stood in front of a red golden door, two guards with spears guarded the door, glanced at Todd and then looked straight ahead.
Todd, who was over fifty years old and had a slightly hunched back on his head, had a straight face, few wrinkles on his face, a broad forehead, a high hooked nose, a double chin, and a pair of iron-gray eyes that covered all his emotions, and he was also a handsome man when he was young. Although it is difficult to tell from his appearance, he is indeed the top officer of MI7.
Todd stretched out his hands and slid down his shoulders to make sure that his crimson military uniform was ironed, then stepped forward, clenched his right fist and pounded on his left chest to give a military salute, and shouted: "Director of the Seventh Bureau of Imperial Army Intelligence, Todd Frank asks to see His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
After a moment, the emperor's calm voice sounded: "Come in." ”
So the two guards slowly pushed the door open, and Todd stepped forward and was searched by the guards before stepping into the emperor's office.
Todd stepped on the soft carpet and walked up to the current Emperor, Rhaegar Theo, and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, your subordinates." ”
Rhaegar looked at Todd and asked, "Has the matter given to you before come to fruition?" ”
"Exactly. More than a month ago, his subordinates had sent twenty-three of his subordinates to Lutheran Province to investigate, but judging from the results of the current feedback, I am afraid that the person His Majesty is looking for is not in Lutheran Province. ”
Rhaegar had a strange color in his eyes, nodded and said to Todd, "Help me summon the Speaker of the Hexagram Council and let him appear in front of me within an hour." ”
Todd nodded, "Yes." Then he bowed and departed.
Rhaegar took a sip of the red wine in his hand, and there was a faint hint of crimson in the depths of his dark eyes, and he murmured, "Do you think you can hide anywhere?" ”
The large floor-to-ceiling windows behind him let sunlight into the room, gilding Rhaegar with an aura and making his red hair even more dazzling.
Although Rhaegar Theo is only twenty-six years old this year, the majesty of his body has been achieved, and even if he sits there without saying a word, it gives people a great sense of oppression.
Fifty minutes later, Omily Statham Abner, the speaker of the six-pointed star council dressed in the black ** mage robe, walked into the office, took off his hat and bowed to Rhaegar tremblingly, and then straightened up and said, "I have seen Your Majesty, dare to ask Your Majesty what is the matter?" ”
Rhaegar tapped his finger on the table and said calmly, "Teacher, Todd came to see me just now, and said that the man was not in Luther Province. ”
Omistansen's old face was full of wrinkles, and his hair was gray, but the wisdom in his eyes was undiminished, and when he heard Rhaegar say this, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Does Your Majesty know whether the person has left Luther Province, or whether he has hidden in Luther Province and escaped the detection of MI7?" ”
Rega Yingting's brows furrowed, and he nodded: "Indeed, after all, there is 'that one' by his side, and I am afraid that the people who have escaped from the seven places are not a problem." So how do we find him? ”
Omistensen stroked the beard that hung down from his chin to his chest, and suggested to Rhaegar that "it seems that we can only ask the Anglican Holy Maiden for help." ”
Rhaegar frowned even tighter and said, "I'm afraid it's not a blessing if this matter is known to the people of the state religion. ”
Omistan shook his head and said, "Since the magic fluctuations of four years ago can be perceived by us, then the people in the state religion should also have magic weapons to detect, maybe they have secretly sent someone to find out." His Majesty asked the Holy Maiden for help at this time, but he was able to get help from the State Church. ”
"But if this matter spreads, will there be any danger?"
"Your Majesty, paper can't contain the fire, so there's no need to worry about the matter spreading. After all, the dragon has already written a prophecy: the dragon has awakened, the hero has risen again, and the era of humanity is coming," the old man's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said to Rhaegar, "but we must prepare in advance, otherwise it will be the time of the end of humanity." ”
Rhaegar nodded, got up, and said, "Then please come with me to the church." ”
Omistensen saluted, "It's an honor. ”
After saying that, the two left the palace in a carriage together and went to the Cathedral of Castro, where the state religion is located in the imperial capital.
The correct name of the state religion is the Lariyar religion, and it was later recognized by the royal family as the only orthodox denomination, and then it was called the state religion. The headquarters of the Anglican Church is Calvin in the Eastern Region, but churches were also built in the imperial capital, and even the change of royal heirs took place in the Cathedral of Castro.
The Cathedral of Castro is not too close to the Royal Palace, and it took about 40 minutes to drive to the front of the church, where the towering gray-white minaret soared into the sky.
However, Rhaegar and Omistensen did not have time to stop, as this was already a common building for them, so they entered the church, and under the guidance of the bishop of the church, they went to the temple, which was inaccessible to ordinary people, and a stunning girl was kneeling before the huge idol, quietly praying.
Her pale green hair fell to the ground, she was dressed in a pure white dress, her feet were bare, her skin was white, and the sun shone on her body through the skylight of the dome, making her shine like ivory, like an angel who had strayed into the mortal world.
Just a back made Rhaegar's heartbeat can't help but skip a beat, but he couldn't afford any distractions.
This girl is the saint of the state religion - Cheryl Agatha (Cheryl Agatha). Her other identity is the Wind Dragon Hero.
