As the center of the Holy See in a country, the church of San Cassel is never in the dark.

The shiny white stone of light in the church has a special magical power, and whenever night falls, it automatically emits bursts of bright light. A single piece doesn't have much effect, but when the entire body of the cathedral, which covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, is made entirely of it, it is difficult not to become a holy star in the royal city of Porso.

When night falls, when you look down from the sky, you will find that the most visible is the Church of San Caso, except for the dazzling pearl of Porso at the spire of the high tower of Porso, where the royal family lives.

Its light not only envelops itself, but also affects the surrounding buildings, forming an eternally bright area.

So it's not hard to imagine how expensive the buildings around the cathedral are.

But for some people at the top of a country's religious rights, this kind of thing is not in their eyes at all. Relatively speaking, how to fight the enemy and preach doctrine is the primary goal.

……

"I think since there will be an accident at this Peace Festival, it is best to inform the royal family and interrupt this festival and change it to a safer and more secluded venue."

In the bright conference room, an old man with a gray beard sat on a chair on the side of the head, looked at the head of Archbishop Feligi, and said lightly.

"If the necromancer is really going to assassinate the prince of Chauvin, then it can only be done during the king's speech, but in that case, tens of thousands of people will gather under the tower of Porso, and if those rats are allowed to mess around, the casualties will not be less."

As soon as he said this, some people at the conference table nodded, including Brother Zachary, who was sitting in the middle of the long table.

At this time, there were about 20 people in this meeting room, one row in black and one in white. Basically, all the high-level members of the church of San Cassel, even the head of the inquisition, who had always been mysterious, was not absent.

In fact, if Charles had been here, he would have discovered that the leader of the Inquisition was the same immortal old man he had once pit in the cemetery outside the city.

And at this moment, after the white-bearded words fell, he frowned and said, "But if you do this, it will not be good to find an opportunity to bring that group of necromancers together." ”

"We can slowly deploy and hunt, it's better than causing casualties." A middle-aged pastor beside the white-bearded man replied.

There is a clear distinction between the upper and lower levels in the Thorn Church, but that is only limited to ordinary work and tasks, and there are not so many rules in this kind of meeting, so this "little brother" can naturally speak freely.

"Besides, it is not clear whether the two letters were sent by friend or foe, although we are not afraid of anyone, but we cannot let some conspirators take advantage of them."

His words aroused the approval of many people.

The two letters received by the Church today, despite their different handwriting and delivery times, are surprisingly consistent in content—the necromancer of Turin is preparing to assassinate the prince of Chauvinism on Peace Day, causing chaos.

Concise and clear, there is no mention of who assigned the necromancer, and no other information is left.

But this news cannot be ignored by the church leaders.

In the territory of Durin, in addition to the demon apostles born from time to time, and the various demons who were summoned out of hell, the main unstable factor was this group of necromancers.

After countless years of fighting with the Church, they have a lot of experience in hiding, and in the past, it was very difficult for the Church to find a non-rookie necromancer, but if they got together because of this......

So even though it is clear that there is a conspiracy in these two letters, there are still people who are moved. A black-robed monk from the Inquisition retorted.

"What about utilization? If the letter is true, then we have this unique opportunity. ”

"When this matter is resolved, it will not be too late to thoroughly investigate who is using us, and the conspirators will always need to pay the price."

The black-robed people in the conference room were quite supportive of this, and nodded their heads when they heard this.

"What's more, for fear of casualties, we can protect strange objects with a range to avoid affecting ordinary people, and it's not impossible."

Another black-robed proposal silenced those who objected.

If you use special strange objects to envelop or isolate everyone, you will no longer be afraid of causing innocent casualties.

It's the best of both worlds.

So they began to discuss which treasure to bring.

"Normally, we'd have enough Hunting Crystals, but those necromancers have opened the Warp Gap. The Zachary Church has suffered this kind of loss, so I suggest choosing from three holy things. ”

"I choose the scales of judgment."

"The scales of judgment? That thing doesn't distinguish between me and me, do you want the old king to make a fool of himself in public? ”

"What about the Eyes of Truman? There should be no one among the necromancers who is immune to its wide area of deep lethargy. ”

"I agree."

"I agree too!"

"Agreed!"

It seemed that everyone was unanimous, but the old man in charge of the inquisition suddenly spoke: "I think it is more appropriate to use the Ring of Time and Space. You must know that in Turin our enemies are not limited to necromancers or the bastards of the Dark Side. ”

When these words fell, everyone in the room looked at each other.

The Ring of Time and Space can create a closed chaotic space that envelops everyone, as if they have entered another world.

But the presiding judge's reasons for saying this are naturally not limited to this.

Necromancers are enemies, as are some of the great nobles in Turin who are secretly hostile to the Church. If they can get together......

Cannibalism and then heavy casualties don't seem too unexpected, right?

This idea is somewhat murky, and many in the church are already disgusted with certain pedantic politicians. As a result, while the opposition is loud, the voice of approval is not small.

The first Archbishop Feligi watched them silently without saying a word.

Seeing that there seemed to be some stalemate, a woman of the same age next to her suddenly spoke: "I choose the Angel Ring." ”

After her words fell, those who agreed were quite excited, but their faces were stagnant in disapproval.

The one who spoke was Woodleigh, one of the Archbishops of Turin, who was the highest in status here except for the archbishop.

As a result, although it was possible to speak freely at the meeting, the choice of a vicar could affect many people, and the opposition gradually became smaller.

In the end, under the clap of Archbishop Feligi, it was decided what to bring.

"So, which of you wants to go?"

This is another problem.

However, in fact, this problem is easy to solve, because to move out of this kind of holy strange object, while being escorted by a large number of church knights, it is necessary to send two masters of the sixth ring level together, excluding the archbishop who needs to sit in the church all the time, and there are only three people at the sixth ring level here.

The presiding judge of the Inquisition, Woodleigh, and Whitebeard, who was the first to speak.

This kind of "dirty work" is indispensable for the Inquisition, and Woodley has just "helped" herself to say something, so the presiding judge thinks it is more appropriate for her to go.

The old whitebeard, who was also one of the deputy archbishops, did not object.

So the personnel were confirmed, and the meeting gradually came to an end.

……

Although it involved the necromancer, Zachary, the necromancer, didn't say much, kept watching quietly, and even stood up directly after a subordinate came outside to report in his ear.

"There's a trace of a necromancer, I'll take a look."

He reports to the archbishop.

With permission, he glanced at his titular boss again, then turned to leave.

In fact, Zachary didn't approve of the church's madness, but he couldn't argue about anything after all the people who opposed it at first had been persuaded to do so.

"Let's hope it really goes well......"

Silently pondering this, there was a sudden rush of footsteps behind him, and he looked back to see that it was Archbishop Woodleigh, who had also not spoken much in the meeting.

"Why aren't you in a meeting anymore?" He asked curiously.

"There's something that needs to be dealt with." The other party replied, and the light tone could not be heard to be happy or angry.

The deputy archbishop has always been like this, untalkative and unsociable. Zachary didn't care, and after walking together for a while, they left the church, and the two separated.

Zachary targeted a pub called Hound near the factory district, where people from the church had already arrived and stationed at the time of their meeting. On the one hand, he was out of duty, and on the other hand, he didn't want to continue listening.

However, despite other reasons, when he came to the bar and saw the scene of the crime, he quickly became attentive and frowned.

The room, which might have been bleak but normal, was now pitch black, both on the ground and on the ceiling overhead, looking lifeless and eerie.

In the center of the room, although there was no trace of the secret magic array because of this unique change, the ten skull phalanges were neatly placed and slightly messy, but they were not concealed.

Combined with the piles of tables and chairs in the corners of the room that were broken and scattered due to death, and the more than a dozen corpses on the tables and chairs that were all black and frightened, as if they had been sucked into dry corpses, it was self-evident what had happened here.

A necromancer advanced here, and then he used a spell that created the Land of the Dead, erasing all traces of the surrounding area, while also causing the corpse to be wiped clean of all life force.

This kind of scene is relatively common, and after standing at the door and watching for a while, knowing that nothing can be found in this situation, Zachary who was standing at the door sighed.

"These gutter rats really don't stop."

As he turned around with this thought, Zachary suddenly noticed that his breath formed a visible mist, and at the same time, a cold that seemed to freeze into the bone marrow suddenly hit from all directions.

It feels familiar.

Zachary's face changed, and then he turned around and yelled at the people around him: "Be vigilant, there are enemies!" ”
