Chapter 142: Crisis Comes
A lot has happened in Pegasus City in the last week, but one of the most well-known events has taken place at the Temple of Dawn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Holy Inquisitor of the Temple of Light personally led the Holy Warriors to besiege the Temple of Dawn, and demanded the arrest of the captain of the Knights of the Dawn, Martina Sullivan, in the name of "harboring the necromancer Gavin Sullivan".
After a stalemate of three days and three nights, Bishop John, the head of the Temple of Light, personally came to the door and demanded that the Temple of Dawn hand over Martina Sullivan in the name of "purging the necromancers" and cooperate with the investigation.
Bishop John was followed by hundreds of worshippers of the Temple of Light.
Eventually, the Temple of Dawn was overwhelmed by public pressure and had to hand over Martina Sullivan.
Martina Sullivan was brought back to the Inquisition of Light by the Holy Inquisitor for a secret trial.
The first time he saw the news, Gavin's heart swelled with a strong killing intent.
Although his soul came from another world, he still had half of his soul, and Martina was the sister of this body and half of his own soul as he grew up with this body.
When the two parts of the soul become one, Gavin will never be able to let go of this family relationship whose blood is thicker than water, and he will not want to give it up.
He originally thought that the Temple of Dawn was the temple of the Goddess of Dawn after all, and following the gentle and tolerant attitude of the Goddess of Dawn, he would definitely defend his sister, and would not let the Holy Inquisitor take her sister away without substantial evidence.
But he never thought that Bishop John would come to the door in person, use public opinion to oppress the Dawning Temple, and force the Dawning Temple to hand over his sister.
The Temple of Dawn was helpless.
The charge of "harboring necromancers" cannot even be afforded by the Temple of Dawn.
Once the populace believes that the Temple of Aurora connived at the Templars and shielded the necromancers, then the Temple of Aurora will lose a large number of followers and thus lose its influence in Pegasus City, which is a huge and irreparable loss for a temple.
It is also understandable why Bishop John came to the door in person.
Over the years, the Temple of Dawn has become more and more gentle, tolerant, and closer to the common people, not as high as the Temple of Light, so its voice among the people has become higher and higher, and it even has a tendency to surpass the Temple of Light at one time.
As the person in charge of the Temple of Light, Bishop John naturally would not let go of the opportunity to suppress the Temple of Dawn.
Gavin has always been very calm and composed, trying to do things safely, and not wanting to rush things.
But now, he's really in a hurry.
The Inquisition of Light, in fact, is the darkest place in the world, where the most terrible punishments and the most cruel instruments of torture are placed. The Church of Light is outwardly radiant and merciful, but for their enemies, their cruel methods, even the demons of the Abyss and Hell are terrified!
My sister was imprisoned there, and no one knew what kind of torture she would be subjected to.
Gavin can't wait to get back to Pegasus City right away!
Of course, before that, he must first be reborn and become a new man.
Because only by becoming a human can he enter Pegasus City openly. Otherwise, with this skeleton body now, once it approaches Pegasus City, it will be immediately shot by the Pegasus cavalry patrolling the sky!
The news of his sister's distress left Gavin distraught, so he just glanced at the second piece of information without paying much attention.
Quickening his pace, Gavin arrived at the auction house in the wealthy area.
He didn't have much leisure to enjoy the competition at the auction, but once again calculated in his mind that the Flesh Rebirth Ritual required all the steps to make sure that nothing went wrong.
When the auction items he needed appeared, he ordered Hank to auction those precious materials at the most ferocious price, even if the premium was doubled.
The three-day auction passed quickly, and Gavin returned to the slum with all the materials.
However, as he approached the Wanderer's Alley and approached the tavern, he suddenly stopped.
His keen perception told him that there was danger ahead that was difficult to fight. One is not careful, maybe he will die here.
"Be on guard. Hank, take a detour through the other streets to see what's going on in the tavern. Squeak, immediately summon the Ferocious Rat, we ...... You have to fight with all your might! ”
Gavin deliberately let Hank go.
An enemy that can make him feel extremely dangerous, even if Hank is here, he can't help and can't resist. It would be better for him to sneak into the tavern and see what was going on there, or if nothing was happening.
Squeak's perception is also very keen, it senses danger almost at the same time as Gavin, so it doesn't have the usual bluff anymore, and immediately obeys Gavin's order, jumps off its shoulder, and escapes from the corner.
Gavin was so engrossed that he didn't dare to be distracted in the slightest.
He didn't know where the other party was hiding, because he could only vaguely sense that the other party was ahead with a perception similar to "intuition", but he couldn't detect where it was.
Is a stalker with strong stealth skills?
Or a mage who used "invisibility"?
Or maybe it's some otherworldly creature with super-hidden abilities?
Or even a magical beast with a talent similar to "invisibility"?
The fingers of his left hand were slightly outlined, and a series of spell aura appeared.
"Detect magic!"
There is no trace of casting, or the opponent's casting ability is far better than his own.
There is no need to do more detection, because the opponent must be a professional or supernatural creature of level 3 or above, and their own detection spells may not be effective.
"Magic Alert!"
Gavin planted a magic alarm not far ahead, covering a radius of more than the width of the street, and any spell cast within the range of the magic alarm would be detected by Gavin.
After casting two spells in quick succession, Gavin took out the "Abusive Heart" and activated it.
He had already noticed that there was no one nearby, it seemed that someone had driven him away, of course, it was more likely that he was frightened away, there were traces of a fight in the direction of the tavern, and it seemed to have partially collapsed from a distance, and there was a little bit of fire shining, as if he had been hit by a fireball technique.
This made Gavin even more certain that the other party was likely to be a mage of no lower rank.
I don't know how many fireballs they were.
If there is only one, then the opponent's spell casting ability is indeed far above you.
The heart of abuse beats slightly, any living thing within a radius of fifty meters is affected by the effect of the "Exhaustion Aura", no one wants and no one dares to stay within fifty meters of Gavin, unless his constitution attribute exceeds 20 points.
Extraordinary physique, not so easy to achieve, especially for a mage.
Most mages have the same constitution as normal humans, unless they are not humans.
