According to Terrence, he was being held back by a powerful magician while chasing Ben, accompanied by a beautiful maiden. ”

Gutsian spoke.

"Benn and Blatter are a group, and it's strange that Blatter sent a powerful magician to protect his son-in-law. What girl?"

Raphael was originally very dismissive, Viscount Benn was a small character, his value was only the lead of this operation, and the helpers around him were even less worth mentioning. But he immediately realized that Gutsian was not a man who liked to talk nonsense, and that his focus was not on the magician but on the girl.

"It's not strange that the magician is strange, it's strange that the girl actually uses prayer. ”

Raphael guessed correctly, Gutsian was talking about the girl.

"Did they kidnap a priestess?"

Raphael picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. Female priests are not worth making a fuss about, after all, there are few female priests in the Holy See, but there are still them.

"If only it were a female pastor. I just got a secret report from Turner yesterday that he was supposed to protect the Holy Maiden and go to Lua City to patrol, but when he left Lua City, he was attacked by unknown people, and the Holy Maiden disappeared and has not been found until now!"

"The saint is missing, who can snatch her from Turner's hands?"

Raphael was shocked, the saint's trip was a secret in itself, and even he only learned about it later. Besides, who could take the saint from the Templars' protection?

"Alas!" Gutesian sighed, this incident was really an oversight on the part of the Templar Turner, and if it weren't for his unauthorized departure from the team guarding the Holy Maiden, it probably wouldn't have happened, but it was too late to think about it, and finding the Holy Maiden was the key to solving the problem.

"Master Knight, you don't doubt that the priestess is a saint, do you?"

Raphael had already guessed Gutsian's mind.

"Not a suspicion! According to Terrence, they captured a servant of the Benn family, and the servant confessed that the priestess's name was Jean!"

"What!?"

Shocked, Raphael's cup slipped and fell, but with a wave of his hand, Gutsien's cup was held up by an invisible force and flew back to the table.

"Do you suspect that the saint became a hostage?"

Raphael's gaze was uncertain.

"Quite possibly. ”

This time, even Gutesian frowned.

"Where is that magician now?"

"I don't know, our men lost them, but I think they'll come to Triumph City, because the Bennes are in our hands. ”

"Very good, let people strictly check the personnel entering and leaving Triumph City, if you find their whereabouts, don't ask for instructions, rescue the Holy Maiden first. ”

Raphael regained his composure after an initial shock.

"Lord Bishop, don't forget that the dominance of Triumph City is not in our hands now, and if we give an order now, wouldn't it be a surprise?"

"The knight is right to warn that it is not yet possible to search for them in a big way. ”

"The Bishop still makes arrangements according to the Lord's plan as soon as possible, as long as we can grasp the situation of Higg, even if they have the Holy Maiden as a hostage, it will not change the definite fact. ”

Gutsian gave the last sentence and left, leaving Raphael alone in the study, sometimes frowning and thinking for a moment. His work in popularizing the faith in Higg has not been smooth in recent years, the main reason is that the conservative forces of the Higg military department that have lost Gracius are still very strong, although the Holy See has defeated the Higg army head-on, but it has not completely destroyed their confidence, especially in the two things of the "one-sided war" and the extermination of the Bolsma bandits, so that the Higg Emperor has regained some self-confidence, and even reactivated the representative of the conservative forces of the military, Blatter. It is precisely for this reason that this operation is equivalent to Des Hepburn personally planning to solve Higg's conservative forces for him, and completely pave the way for the diocese's expansion of power in Higg, if this matter falls short for his own reasons, then the trust of Des Hepburn that he has worked hard to win over the years may come to an end, and Dennis may replace him at any time, although Des Hepburn has been vigorously cultivating cronies over the years, but he has never been polite to some mediocre talents who cannot meet his expansion ambitions. So I can't afford to lose anything in this matter.

"Lord Qiqi, Marquis Beverly said that there is something very important to ask for. ”

While Raphael was racking his brains, a priest knocked on the door and came in to report it.

"No, I said I was busy praying for the blessings of the believers and didn't have time. ”

Raphael waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes!"

"Wait!"

The priest was about to turn around to reply, when Raphael suddenly stopped him from behind.

"You're talking about Beverly, the former head of the military department?"

"Exactly, there is only one Marquis Beverly in the Higg Empire. ”

The priest added.

Raphael's heart fluttered, he had some impression of this Beverley, this person was a typical wall-riding faction, who had been oscillating between the Higg royal family and the Holy See, and it was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to become the minister of the military department, but then Busman Rolland kicked him down again and replaced the tough Blatter to power. I don't know why this person came here at this time, but his status as a wall-riding faction can be fought for, and maybe it will be of great help to the next action.

"Invite him to the living room later, and I'll be over!"

Raphael decided to meet the wall-rider first and then move on with his plans.

"Yes!"

The priest promised to leave.

"Beverly meets the Cardinal!"

A quarter of an hour later, Raphael, accompanied by his attendants, appeared at the door of the living room, and Beverly, who was already waiting there, hurriedly took two steps forward to give the first salute. Beverly is about fifty years old, but he is well maintained, he looks only in his early forties, his brown hair is meticulously combed, and he usually looks sanctimonious, but at this moment in front of Raphael, he has a flattering and even somewhat flattering smile on his face, and behaves as respectful as a junior.

"Your Excellency Marquis, is there anything important?"

After a few polite words, Raphael invited Beverly to sit down, instructed the servant to bring some drinks, and then asked straight to the point.

"Your Excellency is wise! I have indeed come here this time because I have a major matter to report to you. ”

Beverly moved his ass forward, leaving only half of his hips as a fulcrum, and leaned forward with a mysterious expression on his face.

"Oh, tell me what it is. ”

Seeing that Beverly said it solemnly, Raphael's curiosity was also aroused.

"My lord, Gracis's body has been found. ”

Beverly leaned forward, his head stretched out like a turtle, and then said in a low voice.
