After half a month of recovery in Snow City, everything seems to have returned to its original state. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There was no national celebration of the king's enthronement anniversary, no panic of dragons, everything looked the same, but everyone knew that it had changed.

The most obvious is the Three Divine Pillars Grand Holy Court, in which the broken divine pillars have no way to be repaired, and the broken pillars are collected and enshrined by the people of the Holy See. Now the Holy See has not mentioned the change of name, everyone still continues to use the original name, and future generations will ask about it, which can be regarded as a legendary story.

The Grand Church can be understood as the capital of the Divine Court. There are many large and small courts in a country, but there is only one grand court in which the archbishop is equivalent to the rank of king, and all the priests and bishops are subject to his orders and arrangements. Now that the Pillar has been destroyed, it has caused a lot of turmoil in the Holy See.

Today, there were many people gathered outside the Great Court of the Three Divine Pillars, more than on the day of the king's sacrifice, after all, the Winter Festival was a national festival, and all of them rushed here to pray for the protection of the gods.

But everyone's wish seems to be hindered.

There were quite a few soldiers outside the Grand Church to maintain order, and the entrance to the Holy Court was fenced off, and everyone either chose to pray outside or choose other courts.

This happened because Queen Mother Gwynlith was here today to deal with prisoners.

These prisoners are not ordinary people, and the choice to conduct them outside the Grand Church is determined by their status as witches. The last time the dragon appeared, Gwen suspected that it had something to do with the witch, so she ordered the archbishop to arrest all the witches and their accomplices who escaped that day within a set date.

The archbishop worked hard to capture twelve witches the day before the winter festival, and Gwen was satisfied with the number, and immediately decided to execute them on this day, not only to give an account to the people of the country, but also to maintain the authority of the royal family. Whoever broke the king's sacrificial rites, Gwen would make that man pay.

The twelve witches had all been burned at the stake, their bodies were thin, their faces were paler than the other, and they seemed to have suffered a lot, and they all bowed their heads at this time, perhaps not yet sober.

"Queen Mother, are you going to give an order?" the archbishop stood beside Gwen, his round figure and swaying as he walked.

"Where's your scepter?" Gwen glanced at him, realizing that something was missing. The archbishop has a scepter that represents status, something that has been passed down from generation to generation and is to be held in his hand on important occasions. On a day like today, which is also an important occasion, Gwen is a little dissatisfied with the archbishop's negligence.

"The scepter, the scepter is gone. The archbishop saw her displeasure in the face of the Queen Mother, and immediately explained that it would be a great injustice to be convicted for this matter.

I can't remember exactly what the scepter was. On the day of the king's sacrifice, the archbishop still had the scepter in his hand, and then the appearance of the dragon caused the scene to get out of control, and the archbishop could not take care of the scepter in his haste to escape, and then attended the king's dinner and was ordered to arrest the witch, thinking that the scepter had been collected by the people of the Holy See, so he forgot about it, and when he went to check it yesterday, he found that it was gone.

"What?" Gwen's anger grew more and more apparent.

The scepter was like a king's crown, a proof of a person's identity, and now that he had lost the most important heirloom in the Holy See, others had the right to demand that he give up the archbishop's seat. Gwen had been secretly propping him up for years, and it wouldn't be a good thing for him to be overthrown now.

"I've kept this under wrap up well. "The archbishop is very aware of the consequences of annoying the Queen Mother, but it is impossible to hide this matter, except for a few henchmen, he can't send the rest of the people from the Holy See to find it, that will only reveal the matter. In the seemingly harmonious Holy See, there are many people who are staring at the position of the archbishop, and it is safer for the Queen Mother to send someone to visit.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Gwen really wanted to slap him in front of everyone.

"I only found out last night. The archbishop was helpless, he couldn't go in and out of the castle casually, and if he rushed to see the queen mother, he might attract attention.

"We'll talk about that later, let's execute it now. Gwen adjusted her mood, and it didn't help to get angry now.

The twelve witches had no chance of escaping at the stake, and they were all executed by a raging fire.

When the execution was over and the Queen Mother returned to the castle, everyone had the opportunity to enter the Holy See to pray.

The Minister of the Interior, Colin, was already waiting for her at the castle.

"The Bishop's scepter has been lost, do you know about it?" Gwen asked directly, there were no outsiders here, anything could be said directly, and besides, the matter of the scepter was still urgent, and someone needed to be sent to find it immediately.

"I don't know. "Colin has heard about it now, but he already knows what to do, and his spies are best suited to do it.

"What to do, you do it yourself. Gwen never needed detailed instructions, and Colin had always been strict in his work style, and he was able to get things done for himself many times.

"Yes. "Colin already has an idea at the moment. The scepter is a must-have belongings for the archbishop to attend important occasions, and now that the scepter is missing, the archbishop has no way to hide and not show his face, so he can only find someone to copy one before finding it.

"Is there any important news today?" Gwen poured a glass of wine, and Colin didn't come to him for small talk, usually with important news to report.

Colin's spies follow his orders and infiltrate neighboring countries to find out the news. The object of inquiry is the dragon, and it has been many days since the dragon left, and there is still no latest news back.

However, this morning, he received a reply from the spies, and what he said made him feel unbelievable, the dragon was gone, and several towns in the neighboring countries had not seen the dragon, but the dragon flew in that direction, why no one saw it?

"No, are you sure it's a letter from the spies?" Gwen put down her glass, obviously not wanting to believe the report, the dragon's disappearance meant that the dragon's direction was a mystery, and it was possible to go back and forth halfway through, which Gwen didn't want to see.

"I've asked them to go to more places and they will always find out. "Colin's spies use unique contact methods and are not impersonated. Even if someone digs up the spies, it is useless to send fake news, and it is impossible for anyone to hide the dragon's affairs.

"You have to keep an eye on this matter, I don't want to see Xue Man being attacked by dragons again. Gwen's tone was serious, more urgent than the Scepter's matter.

"Yes. Colin agreed.
