Volume 2 The Beginning of the Legend Chapter 72 Revealing the Hidden Secret
Buna and Sara were shocked by this, and they couldn't believe what came out of Bishop Vane's mouth, and in their common sense, it was tantamount to the sun coming out of the west.
Why were the two of them so surprised? This was because hundreds of years ago, the royal family formed an alliance with the Church of the Goddess and clashed with the magicians.
In that long and tragic war, the royal family of the Heka Kingdom lost many important members, all of whom were the ancestors of many of the current royal family, and the church and the royal family reluctantly expelled the magicians from the territory of the Heka Kingdom after paying a heavy price.
Therefore, for the current royal family, magicians are their feud, and the reason why the Magicians Association has not been able to return to the Heka Kingdom for hundreds of years is because the royal family and the church worked together to keep the magicians out of the borders of the Heka Kingdom.
But now that Buna and Sara had learned the news from Bishop Vaane, they would have thought it was nonsense if they hadn't known that Bishop Vane never lied about big things.
Russell didn't know much about the past, but he could see a hint of something wrong in the expressions of Buna and Sarah, and there were also many questions in Bishop Vane's words.
So Russell asked Bishop Vane, "Bishop Vane, even I know that the royal family and the church are very resistant to the power of magicians, so how do you confirm that there is an inner ghost in our place?"
Bishop Vane pointed to the sleeping man on the bed and replied, "To be honest, I was only suspicious of this until I confirmed the man's identity, but when I saw him appear at the top of the tower, I confirmed my suspicions.
Sara, you're the one in charge of intelligence, so you should know that a group of people from the Wizards' Association have come over to discuss with us about strengthening the relationship between the three parties, right?"
Sara nodded and replied, "Indeed, the high-level of the Wizards' Association has always wanted to ease relations with the Heka Kingdom, and specially sent a mission to discuss this matter with us.
But this meeting is limited to the high-ranking people of the combined forces, and I don't have such a large title to attend that meeting.
Shouldn't this mission have gone back a week ago? I wonder why the Bishop brought it up?"
Bishop Vane smiled, "This sleeping man is a member of the mission sent by the Wizards' Guild!"
"What?" said Russell in unison.
"As the bishop of the Church of the Goddess, of course I attended that meeting, and only about a week has passed since the meeting, and I remember very well what the people who participated in the meeting were.
There weren't too many people from the Wizards' Guild, there were only nine people in attendance, and there were many young faces among them, and of course the sleeping man was one of them. ”
"Really?" said Bunamo, holding his chin as he walked over to the man's side, bent down to look at him, and said thoughtfully, "He does look like a little white face like those magicians with strange personalities. ”
Bishop Vane smiled dumbly and said, "Knight Chief, I understand your dislike of magicians, but this man is not one of those magicians with strange personalities, he is generous, cheerful, and proficient in magicians and various texts of the church, if he is not in the ranks of magicians, I would definitely think that he is an outstanding aristocratic young man who has experienced many years of teaching by famous teachers!"
Seeing that he seemed to be embarrassed, Buna coughed a few times to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
Sara pretended not to see Buna's disguised movements, looked at Bishop Vane and asked, "In that case, what is the name of this magician? I believe he must have been born from a very well-connected magician family!"
Bishop Vane replied without hesitation: "His name is Francis, this is probably just his pseudonym, as I understand that among magicians they rarely use their real names, because they have a strange magic that can create curses through the real names of the other party, and then cast spells on the other party.
As someone representing the church at the conference, I certainly can't be rude to ask for the person's real name, as this would be tantamount to declaring war on the magicians. ”
"In that case, we only know where he belongs, and we don't know how he became a man-eating monster, and how he didn't return with the mages?
Besides, our subordinates have suffered a lot because of Francis, and even though he is a member of the Wizards' Guild, we must also give an account to our subordinates!"
"My Sarah, calm down!"
Bishop Vane softly comforted the impatient Sarah, and patiently explained, "Although we all know that Francis is a man-eating monster, Knight Russell also said that it is a black bead that controls the black liquid to devour people, and he is unconscious, so we cannot kill him so arbitrarily. ”
Russell suddenly interjected: "There is another reason, the Wizards Guild lost an outstanding young man on the way back, wouldn't they be suspicious of the royal family and the church of the Heka Kingdom?"
Bishop Vain, have they questioned us in the past few days?"
Bishop Vane looked at Russell in surprise for a long time, and then nodded lightly to admit Russell's thoughts,
"Knight Russell, you are really very intelligent, you are right, the Wizards Guild did ask us about Francis's whereabouts, but we really don't know his whereabouts, so we can only say that we don't know. ”
Sara reacted too, and he chimed in, "So if Francis dies in the church's temple, killing the members of the Wizards' Guild will be a real name for the church, right?"
"Sarah, you're right!"
Buna finally couldn't help it when he heard this, he slapped his palm on the table next to him, almost slapping the whole table apart, and said angrily: "It's not to kill, it's not to kill, don't you want us to swallow this breath, right?
It's a big deal that I'll kill him with a sword, and when the Magicians Guild asks for guilt, the church will pull me out and kill me!"
"Calm down, Knight Buna!"
Bishop Vane quietly looked at the angry Buna, who was in a rage, and Buner gradually calmed down, and even Russell, who was very calm, felt a sudden coolness in his heart.
Bishop Vane saw Russell's eyes looking at him a little strangely, and said with a smile: "This is just a small trick, it is still important to talk about business!"
Bishop Vane calmed down again when he saw the scene, and said to the three people in front of him with a serious expression: "Knight Captain Buna is the most irrational approach, since Francis has fallen into our hands, we can take the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against the Magician Guild and the traitors in the royal family!"
