Chapter 454: A Potential Threat from the Holy See
William, the former president of the Continental Naturalist Association and the current acting city lord of Pamplo School City, came to Misty Town for the first time, and he was a little unclear about what magic this inconspicuous town had that allowed Duke Vane not to stay in Santan City usually, but to stay here permanently.

In fact, when he arrived in Misttown, he didn't know where to find Duke Vane - there wasn't a single building in the entire town that was worthy of being a duke.
He inquired with someone at random, and soon met a purple-haired girl who claimed to be the lady-in-waiting of the Duke. It wasn't until he saw the girl that William was convinced that he was in the wrong place—the girl looked even more charming than the noble daughter of Coennas, and almost only Princess Lucia could compete with her. William had seen Princess Lucia from afar.
Now, the purple-haired girl had set out to inform the Duke, and William was intrigued by the strange buildings in the town's clearing.
William, who had a wealth of naturalist knowledge, quickly saw what the buildings were for—the wind drove the huge fan blades to rotate, and then transferred this rotation to a grinding disc instead of animal or human flour.
"The Duke wouldn't be in town to get this thing, would he?" he thought to himself, "but wouldn't it be worth the loss to spend so much money just to grind flour?"
William walked under a windmill as he walked towards it.
......
When Donner returned to Misty Town, William was talking to Bruno, an old dwarf craftsman, and instead of feeling sorry for each other, they were both a little dissatisfied with each other, William's expression was a little disdainful, and Bruno looked irritated.
"It's too stupid," William said, shaking his head, "You have to try the friction between different materials before you try them......
"You know what, this material was just made, and I'm not trying it now?" argued Bruno.
"But before you make it into a part, you should first summarize its characteristics...... Instead of using ...... directly in the project," William said slowly.
Downer heard William's voice from a distance, and knew that he was not in a hurry to say that something was going on—otherwise he wouldn't have the leisure to talk to Bruno here.
However, listening to the conversation between the two men, Donner suddenly had the feeling of hearing a heated argument between theorists and experimentalists.
Perhaps, this scene is a foreshadowing of a possible future controversy between the school city and the engineering college.
Donner shook his head as he walked up, "William, are you looking for me?"
"Lord Duke," the arrogant look on William's face disappeared without a trace, "yes, there's a tricky matter, and I don't know how to deal with it. ”
"Master Vane," Bruno also turned his attention away from the part at hand, and looked up at Donner and grumbled, "this man is long-winded, can you keep him away from us?"
"Hey...... I'm obviously kind enough to help you improve your efficiency, why don't you distinguish between good and bad. William said urgently.
"Okay, okay, let's put things between you for now. Donner waved his hand, and Bruno blew his beard and glared at William, who shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless expression.
A few minutes later, Donner took William to the wooden building in his town, where he no longer lived, but which was still the command office for the entire town.
After listening to William's statement, Donner realized what trouble the school was in.
Here's the thing: at the end of May every year, it is the day of the annual martial arts conference of the Fermont Empire. Also at this time, it was also the day when the royal family of Fermon received divine grace.
When the Son of God came to Cohenas this year, one of the priests who accompanied him came to the city of Pamplo.
As president of the Naturalist Society, William knew that the Holy See had always been opposed to the study of naturalism, believing that the so-called search for the essence of things was a vain attempt by mortals to involve the realm of God.
So, when he saw God's shepherd, he immediately thought that he should tell Donner about it.
"Your Excellen......cy," William added in a low voice, "In case the Holy See really intervenes, this is a major matter related to whether the school city can continue to do it." ”
Donner's brow furrowed, for him, the problem was indeed serious. It's just that what he worries about is different from William's - in Pamplo School City, Austin's research project involves a high-dimensional space, which must not be known to Jingwei.
"Is the priest still in the school?" he asked.
"Yes. William replied.
Donner stood up: "I'll go meet the priest." ”
......
It normally takes three days to get from Misty Town to Pamplo School City, but if the time is particularly tight, two full days can be reached.
But Donner knew that if he let this priest go back to Donnath to see the Son of God, things would be even more troublesome - although Donner could now order the Son of God as an apostle, he could not cut off the Son's unconditional obedience to Jingwei, and if the Son of God knew what was being studied in the city, he would have to kill the Son of God, but this would inevitably arouse Jingwei's suspicions.
So, after coming out of the misty town, Donner left William, rode his horse alone, and after nightfall, he gave up his horse, and used the magic of Azure Fighting Qi and Wind and Wood at night, trying to pick a wasteland with no one and hurried in the direction of the school.
Even so, the next evening, when he came to the city of Pamplo, he could not catch up with the priest.
Then Donner left the school town and chased all the way to Coennas, and finally early the next morning, he saw the church carriage embroidered with the Holy Cross on the border of the province of Pamplo.
The carriage was full of people from the Holy See in front of and behind, and Donner did not dare to make a move, but followed from a distance, and waited until noon, when the carriage entered a small town, and the priest stepped out of the carriage.
Donner used illusion to disguise his appearance, pretending to pass by accidentally, and then unknowingly cast a soul contract to control the priest.
As Donner had expected, the priest had learned about Austin's research. Downer's worst fears didn't happen, though.
Before that, Donner's biggest concern was that this priest was actually the demon pet of the Son of God.
If that's the case, even if it's too far away, Miko can't directly understand what he saw and heard in the school city through this demon pet, but once the spiritual connection between him and the demon pet is severed, Miko will still be suspicious.
In that case, whether it is to let Miko doubt or kill Miko with his own hands - Donner and Miko are both seventh-level spiritual mages, and they are not absolutely sure whether their spiritual power can be stronger than each other, and they dare not easily use soul contract magic on him - it will inevitably reach Jingwei in time, and at that time, Donner may have to face Jingwei's pervasive surveillance. If this is the case, the plan to eliminate the Holy See will have to be greatly advanced.
Thinking of this, Donner couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
However, now that he has taken control of this priest one step ahead, he can in turn use this spy to monitor the movements of the Holy See.
At that moment, he gave the priest a number of instructions, and then he left the town in a good time and headed in the direction of the school city of Pamplo.
