"No, although the disappearance of the Twelve Magic Emperors is very mysterious, it is certain that it is almost impossible for them to return in this era. ”

Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song has denied the speculation of the Presiding Inquisitor Artest and the Ludwig protagonist, as the core figure of the highest level of the Radiant Holy See, she knows many secrets that no mortal can know, and has a deep understanding of the secrets related to the Ancient Magic Empire and the Magic Emperor.

"This time, it should be the Mage Tower that disappeared in the other space after the mysterious disappearance of the Magic Emperor back then!"

Her Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden's gaze seemed to penetrate the void, seeing through the true face of the shadow that lurked in the depths of the tidal depths of the plane.

"Each of the Magic Emperor's Mage Towers is the pinnacle of magical creations built after exhausting the national power of the Ancient Magic Empire and consuming countless cherished magical materials. They are not only mage towers, but also palaces and ships built by the magic emperors for themselves to explore the starry sky and other worlds, with powerful locks and magical guards, constantly jumping in the depths of the alien plane and the starry sky. ”

"After the mysterious disappearance of the Magic Emperors, their mage towers were also lost in the depths of time and space, and only occasionally made a brief contact with the Overworld during the occasional jump. The Tower of Babel, which appeared in the desert country in the past, the secret realm of the moon god, the mirage city that once appeared in the depths of the sea, the city of eternal night hidden in the aurora in the far north, and the island of the philosophers that the Arcane Federation has been pursuing. are suspected to be the mage tower and palace left by the magic emperor of the ancient magic empire. ”

"Combined with the abnormal increase in the probability of the birth of magic apprentices in Silver Tide City in the past fifty years, as well as the blood mage who suddenly became extremely powerful after leaving Silver Tide City, Trodria and the 'Blood Sacrifice Curse', which is extremely suspected to be a forbidden curse power, the church has long suspected that another magic emperor's mage tower has returned from the heteroplane and has a link with Silver Tide City!"

"No wonder!"

The presiding judge, Artest, couldn't help frowning, and said with a serious face: "The Silver Tide City was originally one of the twelve capitals of the Magic Empire in the past, and it is not surprising that the Mage Tower of the Magic Emperor has returned. ”

"It's just that the return of the Mage Tower and the birth of magic apprentices have skyrocketed, and they appear together, is it - screening mage apprentices who meet the logo of the Ancient Magic Empire?"

"That's how it should be!"

The Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song nodded slightly, and said: "Back then, the Sage's Island appeared in the Strait of Giles between the Saint-French Empire and the Bresta Islands, and in the continuous three hundred years, the Saint-French Empire and the countries of the Strait of the Giles gave birth to an endless stream of genius mages, which indirectly led to the establishment of the Arcane Federation. The current situation in the Silver Tide City is very similar to that of the original Strait countries. ”

This time, not only the presiding judge Artest suddenly changed color, but even Archbishop Ludwig couldn't help frowning.

"An island of philosophers has led to the birth of the Arcane Federation, causing countless big troubles for the Church. This time, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and we must do our best to solve this problem before this Arcane Federation finds out. We can't let this mage tower fall into the hands of the Arcane Federation!"

The presiding judge, Artest, suddenly made up his mind and suggested to Her Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song: "Your Highness, I request that the Knights Templar and the entire power of the Inquisition of Heresy be mobilized to carry out a comprehensive purge of the Silver Tide City, and all heretics that are contaminated with darkness and may have come into contact with magic must be purified. ”

"Rest easy, Master Artest!"

Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Brother Tian was not half anxious, but waved her hand slightly, and said very calmly: "Purifying all the heresies in the Silver Tide City is only a symptom but not a cure, and the fundamental source lies in the palace of the Magic Emperor who is about to return. If we don't solve the source of this problem, in another fifty years, there will still be a steady stream of new magic apprentices!"

"So, what do you mean?"

The presiding judge, Artest, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly calmed down.

"What do I mean?"

Her Royal Highness the Heavenly Song Holy Maiden showed a faint smile, fiddling with the faint holy light in her hand, and said, "The Palace of the Magic Emperor has a powerful magic lock and magic guard, and there is even the residual power of the Magic Emperors in it, which cannot be located and locked by prophecy. But the apprentices who have been branded as the Magic Empire have no way to completely hide their tracks. ”

"So, Lord Artest, you need not be in a hurry, for the lost lambs will naturally point us to the place of darkness. All we have to do now is wait quietly. ”

"I see!"

The presiding judge, Artest, calmed down, nodded slightly, and greeted Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Song: "Everything is according to your will!"

Then Artest, the presiding judge, said to Archbishop Ludwig: "Your Excellency, I have no intention of interfering with your teaching of the Lamb of the Lord, but I would like you to pass on to me the list of the lost Lambs. After all, it is the duty of our night watchmen to guard the night of darkness for our lord, and to judge all heretical blasphemers who rebel against the glory of the Lord. ”

"Although Her Highness has other arrangements, I think before we can really act, we still need to find out how much darkness has accumulated under this ancient city!"

"Master Artest!"

Archbishop Ludwig, with his beard white, sighed and said: "You are an expert in how to fight heretics in the dark! I just hope you can consider that the special situation of the Silver Tide City is not suitable for the Inquisition to carry out large-scale trials and purges. ”

"I understand!"

The presiding judge, Artest, said lightly: "It is not a thousand years ago, the power of nobles and knights needs to be respected, according to the 'Pastine Holy Convention' signed by His Majesty the Seven Generations of Pope and His Majesty the Glory Emperor, any trial against nobles needs to be approved by the local supreme lord, and any large-scale trial against civilians must be forgiven by the lord, and in the name of the king and lord, under the supervision of the noble council, the trial will be conducted." ”

"The Inquisition will follow the covenants of the Holy Covenant!"

The presiding judge, Artest, assured this, but did not mention that the Palthine Sacred Convention only protected the interests of nobles and lords, and that ordinary individuals, as long as the court had any suspicions, with the endorsement of the local church, could be directly arrested and interrogated without reporting - unless a commoner had a big man as his protector, he could not resist the court's invitation.

......

"Third-class apprentice Patsy, pack up the specimens and experimental materials, the experiment is over!"

A cold voice suddenly woke Carl up!

Suddenly, Carl discovers that he is no longer in the bedroom of little Lucy's parents, but in a dimly lit basement.

It was a terrifying laboratory, and a crystal-encrusted magic chandelier glowed pale to illuminate the dimly lit laboratory table below, and a humanoid creature with half wings, stripped of its skin, revealing reddened muscles and blood vessels, was placed on a large dissecting table.

Around the dissecting table was a ring of glass containers, soaked in the green liquid with a pale eyeball, a naked brain, a pale human hand with half a deformed shape of chicken feet, a complete heart, liver, intestines, lungs, and other internal organs, as well as specimens of tentacles, wings, claws, tails, and other organs that were obviously not found in humans.
