Chapter 202: Worry
Kane was amazed at what seemed to be the kind of dark creature he had encountered before who controlled Wengris and them.
"The Longling Empire was one of the first countries to be infested by this dark creature, a duke was invaded by them in an assassination, and then his will was completely controlled, and then he used drugs to control the king's will, so that the power of a country completely fell into his hands, in addition, there are four or five other countries where this happened, if it wasn't for a chance, we wouldn't know that such a thing happened. β
"You mean... Duke Jean?!" Kane exclaimed.
"Yes, it is this duke, he and his family have a very prominent position in the Longling Empire, after being controlled by dark creatures, he became a key figure in the last war, the defeat of the Longling Empire has a lot to do with him, and it is even rumored that he murdered an important sergeant general who was responsible for guarding the west of the Longling Empire at that time, which is equivalent to directly sending the city out. β
It turned out that everyone had guessed wrong before, even the major guilds of the empire had not guessed correctly, and the mastermind behind this series of events for a long time was not the king, let alone Victor, but Duke Jean, or the Night Clan?
It's a bit hard to accept, but it's the most plausible answer, and it explains why King Lawne ignored the loss of his own territory, and why he killed his own son!
"How did you find out about this dark creature after that?" Kane could sort out the ins and outs of what had happened.
"Because the consequences of that war were very serious, the Holy See sent a red-clothed high priest to inspect, and when he went to the Longling Empire, he met the king who was controlled by drugs, and the high priest was proficient in pharmacy, and he could see that there was something wrong with this king at a glance, so he sent someone to investigate privately, and slowly found out about the duke's body. β
"Probably because he has not been seen through for a long time, the dark creature hidden in the duke's body has gradually become unscrupulous, and he was detected by the high priest who is extremely sensitive to the dark aura, but unfortunately, we did not catch him, and when he realized that he had been exposed, he turned into a cloud of black gas and fled. β
"This matter attracted the real attention of the Holy See, and sure enough, it was found in several other countries later, the people who were controlled were all people with great power in the country, and the Holy See realized the seriousness of the situation, this was no longer a war between humans and beasts, but a war between humans and dark creatures, so we sent most of our men to tightly control the countries involved in that war. β
Kane shook his head, "No, it's not a war between humans and dark creatures, it's a war between the entire continent and the Night Clan!"
"NightClan?" Evely frowned, "Are you talking about the dark creatures?"
"Yes, they're NightClan, from a space called Dire, and I'll go to the Holy See to explain the details to the Pope in person when I'm done with my own personal affairs. β
"Dire?" Evely was more and more surprised, "although we have fought the dark creatures a few times, we have limited knowledge of them, this is very important information, and I must report it immediately. β
Kane was noncommittal, "What about that war three days ago?"
Evely still seemed to be thinking about the past, and it took a while for her to come back to her senses and say: " A few days ago, we suddenly received a secret report, saying that the dark creatures were about to launch a large-scale war against humanity again, although the source of this secret report was a little strange, but the Holy See still attached great importance to it in a rather credible attitude, and sent a large number of elites, but I didn't expect that what the secret report said was true, because of full preparation, we won a great victory in this war, and severely damaged the dark creatures. β
Kane was not happy to hear her say that, but he was a little worried for no reason, he had seen the battlefield, although the invaders did die a lot, but most of them were half-orcs, and the number of the Night Clan was not very large, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, this... Maybe it's a conspiracy..."
Evely didn't understand what he meant, "Conspiracy? Are you saying that orcs and dark creatures are deliberately losing to us?"
Kane shook his head, "I don't know about this matter, but I know that the Night Clan's war actually has another purpose, which I can't say for the time being, and I'll explain it one by one when I meet the Pope later, by the way, who sent the secret report." β
Evely frowned and thought for a while, and it was not easy to ask, and said lightly: "It was two humans who sent the secret report, one of them claimed to be the descendants of the murdered marquis in Voss City before, they hurried from the beast realm, as if they were fleeing for their lives, but they were carrying a fox clan, so their identity is very suspicious, if someone did not confirm the identity of the marquis's descendants, the Holy See is afraid that they will be executed." β
"What? what are you talking about?!" Kane shook and stopped and stared at Evely, "Where are they now?"
Evely was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, she guessed that those people were very likely to have something to do with this mysterious holy dragon knight, and hurriedly said: " They are in Furui City, after the test of the high-ranking priests of the Holy See, the two girls are not contaminated with the dark aura, but because their origin is too strange, they were temporarily sent to the Holy Ministry to guard, as for the fox clan, although she came with the two human girls, but because it is an extraordinary period, her identity is more sensitive, so she was taken away by the high priest, I don't know where she was taken away, but don't worry, since it has been confirmed that the information they brought is true, I don't think they will be in dangerγ β
Kane was still staring at her tightly, his chest heaving violently, and he said word by word: "If they make any mistakes, I swear... Even the Holy See will never be better!!"
"Honorable.. Honorable Lord, have we offended you in any way?" said Evely, visibly frightened by his appearance.
The seemingly harmless young man in front of him was a golden holy dragon knight, and Evely deeply understood what this meant, and also knew what it meant for the Holy See or the entire human world, so she couldn't mention the slightest offense.
"They... It's my wife!!" Kane roared angrily, and then left Evely behind and flew at full speed in the direction of Furui City.
Evely stood stunned, unable to speak as Kane's figure disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Although the two human girls were only under house arrest temporarily, there was no guarantee that they would not be harmed in that case, and if the Holy See angered the Holy Dragon Knight without knowing it, the consequences would be unimaginable...... Evely immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, "No, I have to get this news back to Furui City before he does!"
The strength of the Holy See is not covered, there are many mysterious and powerful characters in it, such as the array mage, in the area under their control, there are many unknown teleportation arrays, recently in order to be able to transmit news as soon as possible, and many have been built, Evely's luck is good, in a city not far from here, there is a teleportation array that can go straight to Furui City, it is expected that Kane will not be able to be faster than the teleportation array even if he is fast.
Kane naturally couldn't know that there was such a thing, and he couldn't think about anything else in a hurry, he only had one thought now, that is, hurry, hurry up, Leah and Sarah may not be in any danger for the time being, what really worries him is Bethany, as Evely said, this is an extraordinary time, ignorant humans think that they are at war with the orcs, at this time, if they suddenly see Bethani, who looks like a fairy, it is difficult to imagine what they will do.
He had seen too much of the sordid side of humanity, especially the so-called aristocracy, and although the Holy See had always been the embodiment of light and justice in the hearts of the people, they were still human beings in the end, and it was inevitable that their despicable side would be exposed in the face of a hostile alien.
Kane's speed was very fast, and it only took him one day to travel for a normal magister, but when night gradually fell, Kane finally saw the long-lost Furui City.
Kane had been in the city for more than two years, so he was no stranger to this place, but he was taken aback by the sight in front of him, where is the current city of Furui still the same as before, the previous city walls and gatehouses are completely gone, replaced by a taller and more solid fortress, all copper walls at a glance.
The entire city area was almost doubled, and when Kane approached, he found that in addition to the city walls, the interior of Furui City was mostly the same as before, but on the left side there were many ornate buildings, which were very different from the previous ones, and even a high partition wall was built in the middle, and the left and right sides were clearly distinguished.
The situation in front of me is very obvious, the right part is still the former Furui City, and the left part must have been built by the Holy See, as a temporary holy department, but looking at the current situation, the word 'temporary' is worth speculating.
Immediately, Kane saw an even more unexpected scene, only to see that at this time, above the gate of Furui City, there was a large group of people suspended in unison, led by an old man with a slightly fat figure and a splendid red robe, followed by two people in black robes, and behind them, there were twenty or thirty people.
Such a battle was amazing enough to be placed anywhere, but Kane knew immediately that they were coming for him, because Evely was among the crowd before.
Kane was a little amazed at her speed, and then thought of something, and secretly scolded himself for being confused, wasting too much time in vain, and then slowed down, getting closer to the crowd in the air.
"How young is you?" the old man at the head couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Kane.
