Seeing that Orivia had sensed the crux of the matter, Ian nodded slightly.

"He appeared. ”

Hearing this, the faces of the two ladies suddenly became a lot more serious.

"Where?"

They asked almost in unison, but Ian didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at the old man on the side.

Miss Merchant was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, and immediately shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter, Enoch's Holy See, like Martina, is the person I trust the most, and he already knows the real situation. ”

"That's good. This reply made Ian let his guard down slightly, he was willing to trust Orivia's vision, in any case, this lady was also the main god revered by the Red Lotus Temple, and she had run the church for decades to make a mistake in this regard.

"I don't know exactly where He really is, or how He has been hiding from my perception for so long, but from the remnants of His revelations last night, I can confirm one thing. ”

Ian crossed his hands and looked around at the three in front of him, "He's been hiding in a corner of this palace somewhere," he fixed his gaze on Orivia's body, and continued firmly, "He has almost exactly the same divine thoughts and authority as Crimson." ”

The air in the room froze at this moment.

No one present would suspect that Ian had misjudged. Because even if someone can really blind the perception of the god-like, it is also tantamount to a fantasy to disguise one's aura in front of the strongest, especially one who is a sword saint.

As a result, the facts are almost laid out in front of us.

No matter how incredible they felt, they had to admit that there really was another crimson in this world.

Time grew sticky in the silence, and Ian didn't make any more noises as Miss Merchant lowered her head slightly.

He could understand the other party's feelings at the moment, for the strongest person who held great power, when one day he suddenly found that there was another person sitting on his throne, that mood could definitely be said to be extremely bad.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to have two masters sitting on one throne. If one gains authority, the other loses authority.

But what if there really are two masters on the throne?

That almost means that no one can have absolute control over this authority.

This is like the two gods who held the same divine right in ancient times, and nine out of ten of them are life-and-death relationships, and if one does not fall, then both will inevitably fall into the clouds.

"Is it really the fifth?"

After a long time, Orivia raised her head, but her face was undoubtedly much more gloomy than before.

"I don't believe it's going to be the fifth. ”

Ian shook his head. This was initially dismissed.

The celestial phenomenon of the strongest ascending to the clouds is not so easy to hide. Moreover, each being who ascends to the clouds is unique, and even if it is in the same authority, its appearance will inevitably have a completely different style. Just as he himself replaced the night with a sword curtain, just as Orivia replaced the color and temperature of the flames.

In fact, he had already guessed a possibility, and had an object of suspicion, but this object had also been excluded from them in the first place, and he was really not sure whether his conjecture was correct at the moment.

"But if it's not the fifth," Martina interjected, but before she could finish her sentence, the voice of the Enoch Holy See rang out.

"Don't worry, Martina, maybe we've all ignored an existence that shouldn't be ignored for some reason. ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his gaze to Ian and asked with a smile, "Are you right, Lord Ian?"

"Huh?" Ian turned his head and made eye contact with the old man, and suddenly both saw the same thing in each other's eyes. The two invariably bowed slightly, as if they had reached some kind of consensus.

"It seems that our conjectures are consistent. ”

"What?"

Miss Knight looked at the pair of old and young people in front of her who suddenly had a tacit understanding, and just as she was about to ask, Ian suddenly raised his hand and stopped her with a gesture.

"I'm in trouble. ”

A wry smile tugged at the corner of the black-haired boy's mouth. In his perception, a group of heavily armed guards was striding in the direction of this room, and the group of guards in front of them seemed to be the other two high priests in the Red Lotus Church and the Hundred Horsemen of the Starfire Knights, Clifford, who had seen it outside the gates of the Holy White City.

Who they are aiming at is hardly a question that does not need to be thought about.

And the moment this group stepped into the realm of Ian's consciousness, he knew that what he was worried about had finally happened.

Without the "Crimson" divine decree, how dare they rashly and blatantly come with soldiers to offend Martina, the head of the Starfire Knights, and Enoch, the Holy See of the Church?

Whether it was coincidental or deliberate, the opponent's second move was faster than they could have imagined.

"Enoch's guess is similar to mine, Martina, you can ask him directly later, as for me, I'm afraid there is no way to stay in this temple anymore. As he spoke, he leapt up from his seat, drew a black sword from the void, and slashed it directly in front of him.

"Ian!" Seeing that the space was split into a black gap, Martina, who had also noticed the footsteps outside the door, suddenly said urgently: "You can't leave, otherwise those nobles will definitely confirm your crimes." ”

"Nope. Without waiting for Ian to explain, Orivia, who had been gloomy all the time, was the first to speak: "He really can't stay here anymore. ”

"Orivia?"

Martina looked back at her best friend, incredulous.

"Martina, trust me. Orivia said: "Right now, Ian is hiding in the shadows, and we have a chance to turn the tables." ”

"Yes"

She was right. Ian said to Martina, "If I get bumped into here, whatever happens to me, it's going to be much worse than my disappearance, and besides, there are some things I'm going to talk to that bastard Harris." ”

"Also, Orivia" Ian paused involuntarily at this, he knew that the next sentence would be a great hurt and insult to the "Crimson", but after careful consideration, he finally decided to say it: "Don't go near the fire source in my absence." ”
