Chapter 32: Wenger's Doubts
Simon was in the concert hall last night to assist someone to cover, although the process was more tense and exciting, but fortunately, the result was finally thrilling, and then he also got Rob's thanks, who gave him a set of training perception methods, but in this way, the next patriarch of the Grady family couldn't help but be more curious, what Rob did in those three hours, even Ginny and Gage had to hide it together.
I'm afraid that even Simon himself didn't expect that the doubts in his heart would be answered so quickly.
Early the next morning, the entire city of Gudris completely exploded, and the number one person in the south of the temple, one of the nineteen archbishops, Moteris, was kidnapped, and the location was still the mansion of the most powerful Earl Nathan in the entire university town, and the other party killed the guards next to the old bishop in full view, and then kidnapped Moteris, and set a fire in the Earl's Palace before leaving, although the fire did not cause any casualties in the end, but the impact was undoubtedly extremely bad.
And the most unbelievable part of this news is still to come, it is said that there were only two people who did it that night, both of them were magicians, and it was these two magicians who came out of nowhere with extremely ferocious firepower to suppress the masters around Moteris and the guards in the Earl's Court from beginning to end, and according to some of the guests who attended the banquet that night, those two people were simply gods descending from the earth, no one could stop them, and it took less than five minutes from killing people to arresting and withdrawing, and then leaving the frightened people trembling in place。
President D'Addarion, who was also said to have attended the dinner at the Earl's Court that night, expressed his strong condemnation of this violence on behalf of the Gudris Branch of the Wizards Association, and righteously stated that the Magicians Association would investigate the matter in depth and actively rescue the kidnapped old bishop.
And the city council soon received a letter from Count Nathan, who was on vacation, and the old man was now on his way back to Gudris, and even the deputies could feel the old earl's anger between the lines, which was not difficult to understand, after all, it would not be good for anyone whose house was burned, not to mention the loss of an archbishop of the temple at the dinner, and Count Nathan had enough reason to be angry with these administrators in Guderies City.
The garrison had already moved that night, and everyone, including those who had been on leave, was called up from their beds, holding portraits and began to search the whole city for the two magicians involved, and when the guards heard what happened at the banquet at the Earl's Court not long ago, their legs couldn't help but weaken, Thomas only smiled bitterly when he received the order, these people under him were just some trained ordinary people in the end, and most of them were not even professionals, and their strength could not be compared with those guards in the Earl's Palace, and it was okay to deal with some ordinary cases in ordinary times, and if a master of that level really bumped into it tonight, it would be purely to dieGenerally speaking, they report things like this directly to the Parliament, and the Special Investigation Unit takes over.
But this time Motellis was attacked and kidnapped in the Earl's Palace, and the nature of the bad nature shocked the whole city, coupled with the law and order problems that have been criticized some time ago, the House of Representatives is obviously forced to be anxious this time, eager to grasp every life-saving straw, so it also issued a death order to the garrison, and even the part of the personnel in charge of civilian duties must join the search.
This kind of impersonal order naturally led to a lot of complaints below, but there was no way, the vast majority of people still had to rely on this salary to support their families, so complaining was complaining, and then everyone still took up arms and began to search the city tremblingly, but this time everyone prayed in their hearts not to let themselves run into the main master.
In addition, the city council also held an emergency meeting immediately after the incident, and immediately after the meeting, the docks and city gates were blocked, and the whole city was put on second-level security, and all ships were only allowed to enter and exit, in order to prevent the two gangsters from escaping with the old bishop.
But this method is actually useless, judging from the battle situation that night, the other party is an indispensable high-level magician, and a master of this level has too many ways to choose if he really wants to leave Gudris.
Fortunately, President D'Ardarion kept his promise and actively participated in the subsequent rescue work, not only announcing the location of several medium and long-distance teleportation arrays in the city, so that the garrison could send people to keep an eye on them, but also opening the giant fluctuation instrument that could be used to detect magic fluctuations that had just been developed on the top floor not long ago, and once there were strong magic fluctuations in the city, the Magician Association could immediately know the exact location of the fluctuations.
However, to everyone's surprise, the temple side that should have been the most shaken by this incident was the most calm, and the current person in charge of the church in Gudris City was Bishop Wenger, the person who had previously killed the bugs and rescued the students trapped in the white giant egg, he was younger than Moteris, only in his forties, he looked elegant, and looked more like a scholar on the outside.
And he is also one of the few high-level leaders in the temple who clearly opposes Motellis, and because he is close to the latter, he is also in the south, so he has heard more about what the other party has done, the two have actually completely broken up more than three years ago, Wenger is just a bishop, but the background behind him is also not simple, although Moteris is his nominal leader, but he can not remove his position for no reason, but the contradiction between the two is no secret in the church.
This time, the old bishop came to Gudris City for a dinner, and he did not go to the church in the city at all, but went directly to Earl Nathan's Earl's palace to rest, which can also show the extent of the friendship between him and Wenger.
However, after all, Moteris is the archbishop of the church, even if Wenger has more conflicts with him, it is impossible to be indifferent when the former is kidnapped, in fact, Wenger immediately wrote to the Third Holy Knights in the south after receiving this news, asking for armed support from the other party, and then planned to go to the Saint Laurent School of Magic to meet the super-mage of Arbus, after all, the city of Gudris is the territory of magicians, and the person who shot is a master of magicians, if Absken helps, he will definitely find out something from the battle that night, but not long after this letter was sent, he received a handwritten letter from the Pope, signaling that there will be a special person in the south to take over this matter, and he only needs to act as usual on his side, without asking more.
This handwritten letter was sent to the church two hours after Moteris was kidnapped, which means that the super-distance teleportation array mail is directly used, this kind of delivery method is expensive, generally only when the situation is very urgent, the temple will take this method, Motellis has someone to contact the Pope directly, he is not surprised, but the content of the handwritten letter issued by the Pope is very strange, if the disappearance of the old bishop is really so serious, why doesn't the temple let him take any rescue action?
