Chapter 90: The Oracle
The door was slammed open by a brutal force.
Then, the tall figure of Clifford, the hundred-rider of the Starfire Knights, stepped into the small room stiffly.
"Take the liberty of interrupting, Lord Martina, Enoch Grand See!"
With a slightly inexplicable look on his face, the uninvited knight took a few steps forward, and then bowed down to the two superiors in the room, and took advantage of the moment of bowing his head to quietly scan all corners of the room.
Isn't that sinner here?
The knight with his head bowed frowned slightly, he was a little caught off guard by the fact that it did not match the current situation in the intelligence, but then he settled down. He turned sideways while raising his head, making way for the real speaker of the day: "High Priest Curtis and High Priest Dean have received the divine decree of our Lord this morning, and they hope to be able to ...... with the two lords Well...... Counsel about it. ”
"Oh?"
The old man named Enoch and Miss Knight glanced at each other, and the unnatural pause in Clifford's words naturally did not escape their ears, and the posture of the group in front of them obviously did not look like they were just here to talk.
Undoubtedly, what they feared most eventually came to life.
"High Priest Curtis, High Priest Dean. The old man slowly stood up and nodded slightly to the two high priests who had already stepped forward: "I don't know what kind of will it is, it needs to be so ......."
As he spoke, he looked at the heavily armed guards behind the two priests, and after a moment's deliberation on the wording, he continued:
“...... So much so that the teachers are moving. ”
"Enoch Grand See. The two high priests looked at each other. Then the older one stepped forward and bowed to the old man. He was Curtis Bock, the heir to a prominent family in the empire as a young man. No one knows why he abandoned his family in favor of faith. It is only known that this former noble child has now become an indispensable bridge of communication between the Red Lotus Temple and the Empire.
The Red Lotus Temple was able to gain a safe foothold in the Eastern Regions, in addition to relying on Crimson's own absolute power, he also contributed to the childhood playmate of the contemporary Grand Duke of the Eastern Regions. In the eyes of all the nobles of the Eastern Regions, he is the "lubricant" between Crimson and the Grand Duke of the Eastern Regions.
At this moment, the important high priest was asking in a voice that was obviously hoarse, "I wonder where the sinner who lives here is now?"
"You mean the young man named Ian?" the old man asked in feigned surprise, however, the prepared high priest obviously did not believe that the old man knew nothing about the situation in front of him, he nodded coldly, and then said meaningfully: "We got the news, he was supposed to be in this room, but it is clear that we are still a step late. ”
Because someone warned him in advance!
This sentence was not pronounced by the high priest, but as a subtext, it was obvious that everyone present had already "heard" it.
The air in the room suddenly froze a lot.
"I want you to capture that young man. ”
"Because he's an extremely dangerous being!"
The High Priest's eyes narrowed, he didn't believe that the old man in front of him would be ignorant of the current state of affairs, but at the same time, he also knew that they didn't know everything, "Last night, there were three murders in the city!"
"Wait. Miss Knight stood up and interrupted him: "Murder?
"No, it's homicide. High Priest Curtis turned his head to look at the shocked female knight and said with great certainty, "The guards in the city have found their bodies. ”
At this, the High Priest closed his eyes unnaturally, as if something terrible had flashed before his eyes: "His methods were so cruel that the bodies of the two apothecaries were found in pieces all over the floor. If it weren't for the Apothecary's medals left in the pile of debris, we would hardly be able to identify them. ”
"And what about Master Klin?" asked Miss Knight anxiously, knowing that this man was the key.
"Master Kling and his guards, their bodies lie in the alley half a street apart. The high priest replied, "They were not much luckier than the two apothecaries, for something sharp had come out of the soles of their feet, pierced their bodies, and scattered like explosions in their hearts." ”
Curtis shook his head with trepidation, and even now, he still felt creepy when he remembered the corpses. That's not just because of the tragic condition of the corpses, but also because of the unbelievable means!
"It's not something that mortals can do, but the problem is ...... I couldn't find the slightest trace of the power of the mind. He looked directly at the silent old man and said softly, "Enoch Holy See, I want to ...... You should know what that means?"
All capable people know that subtle control is a symbol of the median power, but above that, it is not possible for a mere median person to detect the slightest trace of the mind.
That can only be ......
Superior!
A superior who is even stronger than the High Priest of Curtis!
"So......" The old man nodded and asked, "You want to say that my lord told you that the young man was a high-ranking person and the murderer of these three murders?"
"Nope. Our Lord foretold me much more than that. Curtis hooked a hint of inexplicability at the corner of his mouth, and the oracle given by "Crimson" will be beyond everyone's imagination.
He first looked at the silent old man in front of him, and then turned to look at the young lady knight with a look of surprise on her face. The Grand Throne of the Red Lotus Temple and the head of the Starfire Knights are the closest to "Crimson". Curtis believes they will not turn their backs on their beliefs. So the only reason why they did the act of shielding that sinner could only be because they were deceived!
At other times, he might have chosen to persuade them slowly, but for now, he felt he had to wake them up immediately.
"I know. You may have been deceived by that sinner, or you may have some special affection for him. ”
"But......" he added, "now I need you to come to your senses at once, and do whatever it takes to find that sinner, and kill him!"
"For this sinner is far from being as harmless as you think, and his threat to my lord is far beyond your imagination!"
At this moment, the high priest's face showed an extremely solemn expression, but in this solemnity, the old man and the knight lady clearly saw a trace of panic that could not be concealed!
The high priest approached slowly, and as if he did not want to be heard, he whispered: "Just this morning I asked my lord for an oracle, and my lord gave me an answer......
"He told me ......"
"The source of the chaos is the dark shadow that lurks in this holy realm!"
"That Shadow Division wields the power of night and shadows, and spreads evil rumors that are troublesome to people's hearts!"
"We need not be cautious, for this shed blood is not the end of everything, but the beginning of the end!"
"The never-ending storm has once again struck from the eastern sky, and when the shadow merges with the storm......"
"The crimson flame will be extinguished!"
