There was screaming and screaming at the scene, and everyone only saw the guards rushing in in and babbling, saying nothing but not hearing anything at all.

The legend was useless at the moment, and at the moment of the explosion, Erebes had already accurately located the location of the explosion next door, and could even vaguely guess what it was.

But just as she wanted to stand up and rush over, several aristocratic girls threw themselves into her arms with the sound of a thunderous bell...... Then desperately hugged her arm and screamed at the top of her throat, and she didn't let go!

Then quickly, a circle of nobles gathered around, and everyone advised her not to be impulsive, and to stay where she was (to protect us)!

In fact, everyone knows that only Erebes can protect them at this moment. Nasher? At the first moment of the explosion, his throne was vaulted into a secret tunnel - he was alone, and everyone else was left outside, including the chief of staff with a wry smile......

If they were enemies, Erebeth could cut them in four with a single blow of his arms!

But now the people who are holding her are delicate noble ladies, and they are pushing each other with a happy face, she is really helpless...... Am I so manly?

So Erebeth could only yell, "Everyone, be quiet! ”

With his legendary voice, he suppressed everyone's voices.

After that, the emergency evacuation of the people attending the banquet was arranged, and then the city guards were mobilized to strengthen the defense. When everything was on track, Erebeth came to the door and found the guard who had come first to report the information and asked, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

"Next door to the Blue Palace, someone detonated a bomb and blew up all the healing potions, and then fled with the formula. Heard...... It was Deszel, the priest of Haim, who was now looking for him, but he and the people he brought with him are all gone! ”

Really...... Erebeth sighed in his heart, "What about Vanswick? He's been with Deszel all along, how is he doing now? Were you injured by the explosion? ”

"Lord Vanswick, he ......" the guard was a little embarrassed, but he still said it under the pressure of Erebes. Your Excellency was imprisoned by Archbishop Linton...... He argued with the fleeing Deszel, and the archbishop and lord declared Van Swijk to be complicit and arrested him. ”

"I see, thanks."

Looking at Erebes' serious face, the guard said in shock, "Commander, don't be impulsive......

"Don't worry, I won't, I'm calm now."

Erebeth smiled, clutched his gloves, and smashed the walls of the Blue Palace with a single punch!

*****

In the dungeon of the Blue Palace, a cell made entirely of stone, Vanswick sat quietly in his chair, not at all like a prisoner with a fifty-pound shackle. Even though his clothes were torn, his dusty face was bruised, and his nose was still bloodied, Vanswijk still had a good demeanor.

"Vanswijk!" Archbishop Linton stood before him, heartbroken and helpless. "Tell me honestly, are you involved? Yes or no! ”

"What do you mean by participation? Does dispensing together count? Does chatting together count? I'm friends with Deszaire, yes. But I didn't know his plans, and yes. You can't suspect me of being his accomplice just because we're friends, and my faith in Tyre doesn't allow for such questioning. Vanswick said calmly, but his eyes were wandering. It's as if looking at infinity instead of focusing on the face of the person opposite.

"Whew~" Pastor Linton pressed his forehead with a headache, "Vanswick, I can't help you clear your suspicion like this." Yes, a friend doesn't mean he's part in his plans, but you should know how the Inquisition in Neverwinter is convicted...... With the exception of Erebes, any judge would be swayed by the emotions of the onlookers. But with the news leaking, how much people out there loved you in the past and how much they hate you now!

You will never get a verdict of not guilty in court, and not only that, but you will also be sentenced to a heavy sentence! ”

"So, teacher, what do you think I should do?" Vanswick finally looked back at Reverend Linton, his eyes like two stars in the gloomy cell.

Archbishop Linton felt as if he had been seen through, and he looked away slightly. "Vanswick, you're my student, and I'll treat you like my own child. I've been nurturing you because let's say if I die, I want you to inherit everything I have.

I'm willing to sacrifice everything for you! Includes ......"

Archbishop Linton stood up and walked a few steps, stopped in the shadows in front of the door, turned his head and said, "Confess your sins...... Let's just say that you were deceived by Deszel and didn't recognize his true face in advance. ”

“…… Is that enough? ”

Archbishop Linton felt an itch in his throat, and he felt that Vanswick's tone sounded like mockery, not like his obedient student, but he was not sure.

He hesitated, but still said what had been discussed. "And you have to name ...... Erebes is an accomplice, or at least an insider. You know that doesn't make a difference to Erebes, because Nasher will have to rely on her to fight Luskan next. Then the Lord of Nasher will use his lordship to pardon you, and then you will return to the Golden Abbey for a few years, and I will arrange for you to become the next bishop of Neverwinter. ”

Now that Erebeth is a legend in the world, no one will believe that it will not be much effective to splash dirty water directly like in history - or that people are too realistic now, and the legend of being able to protect the city is more important than a little stain!

Coupled with Erebes's business for so many years, although she is indisputable, who knows how much power is hidden under the water!

Only through Vanswick, the "Sister A's beloved", can the hammer be truly dampened to Erebes's prestige and keep her from posing a threat to the position of the lord of the city. In order for Sister A to take a step back and continue to serve the Church and Neverwinter willingly, Archbishop Linton and Lord Nasher were really heartbroken in those two hours that had just passed!

"Oh, I knew it! For what? The kingdom of God on earth? Vanswick's sneer let Archbishop Linton know that it wasn't a delusion just now. At this moment, he was extremely lost in his heart, and the disciple he valued the most finally abandoned him.

"It's ****." "It's not just that, it's about the alliance," the archbishop explained. Now the time has come for the two gods to form an alliance, but Erebeth stands in the way. Her position was closer to Haim than Tyr's teachings, so she needed to back off a bit. What we need is a union with a position, not a bireligious unity.

Well, now give me an answer! ”

“…… Teacher, you know I can't say yes! ”

"I knew that...... Then there's Nasher. Linton gave him one last look, "Goodbye, Vanswick." ”

"Goodbye, teacher."

……

"Hehe~" A jailer with a masked face, a red upper body, and bulging muscles walked in with a sinister smile.

He dragged a large bag of torture instruments, slammed it in front of Vanswick, and pressed Vanswick's head and smashed it on the table.

"Little white face, I know that the soft one is not good! To deal with a boy with fine skin and tender meat like you, my methods are more effective! Hehe~ It's long tonight, enjoy it slowly. ”

He took out pliers, a thin-edged knife, a short saw, and a steel needle from his pocket...... The same thing was placed in front of Vanswick, and the knife or something was stuck directly on the table. After a while, the small table was filled.

"Ready? Let's start with the simplest. He grabbed Vanswijk's hand and shoved one of his fingers into the mouth of the pliers, deliberately moving slowly to torment Vanswick's spirit.

Vanswick's hands trembled, but his eyes remained the same, he just closed his eyes and said, "You clip it." ”

"Huh~ pretending to be a tough guy?" The jailer slammed it down......

*****

Vanswick heard a crisp "Gaba"!

Strangely, the finger did not feel pain, but the metal pliers slipped away from the finger...... When he opened his eyes, he found that the jailer was pale and covered in cold sweat!

A gloved hand pinched his chin, preventing him from making a sound; The other hand was held on the wrist of the jailer's hand with pliers, and that hand was hanging and was directly broken!

Erebeth stood behind the jailer, "How are these used?" You teach me in a moment. She said. When the jailer heard this, he seemed to think of something extremely terrible! His eyes widened suddenly, his mouth let out a few "oh-oh" sounds, and then he fell to the ground with convulsions...... He's dead.

Scared to death.

Erebeth let go of his hand with a nonchalant expression, letting the corpse slide away. She didn't persuade, but pointed to the big hole in the wall behind her, and said to Vanswick, "Come?" "The incarnation of Tyr had said this to her years earlier.

"No!" Vanswick closed his eyes, the last thing he wanted to see happen—the church he loved, Neverwinter, and Erebes, a complete break. "I'm sorry, if this is what you and Shen Yan wanted to tell me but couldn't...... At that moment, I wanted to be calm. ”

"Well, goodbye." Erebeth seemed to know that this was the answer.

Just as she was about to leave, Van Swijk finally said.

"Erebes...... If one day you own the city, don't serve her, rule her! She doesn't deserve the kindness you give. ”

……

As he leaves, Erebeth walks through the devastated dungeon and is confronted by Nasher, who is hurrying to meet him.

"You ......"

"Nascher," Erebes interrupted, "if Vanswijk is a little mistreated before trial...... I'll kill you! ”

*****

An early harbor outside of Neverwinter was abandoned by the tide and was already nightfall.

Tonight, however, the deserted harbor was flooded with people.

Soon after, Arthur and the others also followed the whereabouts of Pastor Haim Deszel and others to this place.

As a "display" of the dinner, the adventure team naturally had to appear at the dinner party "as usual" in full gear, in order to suffocate the girl with the smell of blood on the armor. When the unexpected happened, they were the only team that was well prepared, and immediately followed the trail left by Deszel.

The whole journey is more than ten kilometers, and normal tracking should have been abandoned a long time ago. But Arthur and the others were really abnormal, they gritted their teeth and chased them all the way to the harbor, and even killed a lot of broken cultists.

The harbor wharf is a terrain that protrudes out of the sea, in other words, as long as the exit is blocked, the remaining three sides are the ocean, which is equivalent to surrounding.

After a bloody battle, the five men wiped out all the cultists, and surrounded Deszel at the end of the harbor out of breath.

Deszel did not resist at all, nor did he say a few unwilling words like the villain. He sat on a barrel and watched the whole battle. He seemed too indifferent to think he was an old fisherman who was dying.

Finally, Deszel looked at the dark sea and said wistfully.

"You may not believe it, but I always thought there was a ship here to pick me up."
