Chapter Forty-Eight: The Enchantress
The Chief Inquisition, like the Commander of the Templar Order, was an extremely important figure in the Central Church, and those who could hold both positions were of course the Pope's confidants
Pope Frio I trusted Sycastus very much, not only let him sit in the first position of the Inquisition, but also revealed to him some unknown secrets behind himself and the Holy See, but from the fact that the Pope made him open under the sun and hid the existence of Meritgar from him, it seems that Sixtus did not have the same status in the heart of Frio I as Meritgar
My Majesty, I think it may have been that Lilith had been badly injured by William Mano some time ago, and now she was in dire need of a lot of nutrients to heal her wounds, and Ssixtus replied to what the Pope had just asked him
But this enchantress should not have gone on a rampage without restraint, and the Pope said that she had caught the attention of those within us, and that Erinsas and Rubidas were beginning to suspect her identity, and that was a wake-up call
His Majesty the Pope xià what should we do
Do you still need to ask me for this kind of thing, find a way to summon her back immediately, and when Julian completes his mission, the Tower of Seven Sins, which has been sleeping for thousands of years, can be activated, and I don't want to make any mistakes during this time
Obey the order, I'll do it, Sixtus rolled his eyes and asked, His Majesty, according to our informant, William Mano, this guy seems to be chasing Lilith, do you want to ......
No, the Pope immediately vetoed Sixtus's unspoken mention of William, although he left the Holy See twelve years ago, but he did not apostasy and may still be useful in the future, Sixtus, you let your people find a way to trap him, don't let him interfere with your actions, don't be ruthless

And what is the latest situation of the madman Duris, this is the Pope's main concern
According to the reports of Duman and Hathaway, whom we sent there, the Orcs had launched their eighth major siege in the last four days, but in the end it had ended in failure, and Situthorn continued, except that this time the Persians did not send their troops out of the city to meet the battle, but repelled the Orc attack with the help of strange crossbows placed on the fortifications
Strange crossbows
According to Duman's and Hathaway's report, the Polish crossbow was a new weapon that no one had ever seen before, and it could fire ten arrows at a time, which was extremely powerful, so the Polish soldiers could also repel the orc attack without going out of the city to fight
Since Duris had obtained such a powerful weapon, what was he doing with more than 10,000 troops hiding in the fortress, the Pope paced back and forth, thinking about some questions, and Sixtus stood by obediently
Sixtus
at
I am disturbed by the actions of the madman of Duris, and you immediately contact the church of the kingdom of St. Oruffi to get them to attack in advance
When he heard the Pope say that Duris had made him feel uneasy, Sixtus realized the seriousness of the problem, but it was necessary for him to explain the difficulties he was encountering
His Majesty the Pope, due to the sudden attack on the Orc Kingdom by Duris, completely disrupted the original plan of St. Olufe, they had to rearrange the new plan, which would take at least fifteen days to be ready, and there was no reasonable reason to go to war against the Kingdom of Pole
Fifteen days is too long, and I will give them ten days at most, and when the time comes, I must hear the news that the army of St. Auluffi has set foot in the land of Pole, and as for the reason for the war, you let them find whatever they want
In the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Siding, there is a small narrow valley with a very small village
Although the war had not yet spread here, the nobles who ruled the small village could no longer care about this small place, and under the inspiration of King Louis V, they sent their own family soldiers to the royal capital of Paris, to participate in the vigorous siege of the city, so that even if a shocking tragedy occurred in this small village, it did not attract even the slightest attention
The village is very small, with a total of 16 permanent inhabitants and a total population of just over 40, and now all of them are dead
A young girl with a long sword at her waist, wearing short armor, and leather boots was squatting in the middle of a pile of stinking corpses at this time, as if she was investigating something, only to see that she had millet shoulder-length hair, very young, about 15 years old, but there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, adding an alternative look to her delicate face
After a few minutes, the girl stood up, she turned her head to her left hand side and shouted: "Teacher William, I have checked it all, it must have been done by that demon woman, ten of them were cut off from the heart, thirteen young women were sucked dry and died of aging, and the rest of the old people and children were directly killed by the puppet silk with their necks broken
Is there any clue, cough cough, a middle-aged man walked out slowly in the direction the girl was looking, only to see that he was wearing a set of paladin armor, with a sword hanging from his waist, his face was pale, and he looked very weak, and he walked with a cane
The girl shook her head: these villagers had probably been dead for three or four days, and they were already stinking, and they really couldn't find any valuable clues
The knight closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to the girl: Dani cough, collect the remains of these villagers, and you can't let them be in the wilderness, and then ...... Ahem, let's go hunt down that witch again
The teacher girl said worriedly, "Your injuries are not healed yet, just hand over the demon woman to me."
No, the knight categorically rejected the girl's advice, have you forgotten the lesson of the last time in the valley of Benolania, ahem, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have died a long time ago, and although the demon woman is seriously injured now, you are still not her opponent, ahem, how can I rest assured that you will take this risk alone
But--the girl is a little dangerous, that witch's sorcery is so powerful, even the teacher's light magic can't heal your own injuries immediately, how can Dani let such a badly injured teacher take this risk, so teacher, you better find a place to heal your injuries first, and then I'll do the rest, I'll take care of myself......
Needless to say, the knight interrupted her, although I fought with the demon woman and lost both, cough cough, but it will take me at least six months to fully recover, and that witch can absorb the life force of others to quickly heal her own people's injuries, cough cough, cough cough, we delay a day, she will recover a day earlier than me, and then our chances of victory will be one point less, and there will be more victims, which this 'freelance knight' William Mano cannot accept
Seeing that her teacher was so stubborn, Dani didn't persuade him anymore and had to obey him
