Just as Rog and Lilith took Grace to fly to the Oak Sanctuary on a giant eagle, the news of the death of the Golden Dragon King spread to everyone's ears in the Dragon Valley, and the sudden death of the Golden Dragon King made the entire valley panic, although the successor of the Golden Dragon King had been quickly elected, the atmosphere of terror still permeated the entire valley.

That night, the High Priest Goethe summoned all the generals present, as well as Murphy, Tully, Catherine, and others, to hold a meeting in the Golden Dragon King's lair, and in front of the new Golden Dragon King, he made a request.

"Generals, ladies and gentlemen," said Goethe, standing in the middle of the crowd and looking around at the crowd, "I have gathered you here today to announce to you the results of the investigation into the death of His Majesty the Golden Dragon King. ”

He walked in front of everyone with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and said in a majestic tone: "According to the investigation between me and the priest group afterwards, the green dragon that bit His Majesty the Golden Dragon King to death was not a member of the dragon clan, but a dragon woman who followed the lone wolf!"

"High Priestess, do you mean that Grace bit the Golden Dragon King to death and caused this series of tragedies?" Hearing Goethe's words, Tali asked in surprise: "But how can she have such a powerful power, the combat power of the green dragon and the golden dragon is completely incomparable, not to mention that it was the Golden Dragon King who was bitten to death." ”

"Miss Tully, your problem may only be known by finding Lone Wolf and Grace. Goethe replied coldly: "But I have absolute reason to believe that she is the initiator of all this, and the golden dragon guards present at that time can testify!"

"But why did Grace do this?" asked Murphy, staring at Goethe suspiciously.

"According to the Golden Dragon, who was present at the time, the dark wizard 'Bloody Hand' William appeared at the scene of the incident, and when the Golden Dragon King ordered them to attack William, the woman suddenly turned into a giant dragon and pounced on the Golden Dragon King, biting him by the throat. ”

Goethe said this, looked at the people present with serious eyes and said: "Judging from the confessions of the golden dragons, it cannot be ruled out that the woman has already been bribed by the dark wizard, and maybe she is a spy sent to us by the dark wizard!"

He sneered, his gaze swept over Catherine, Tully, and Murphy's faces, and shook his head mockingly: "The lone wolf thinks he is extremely smart, but he is stupid to protect that woman, before the incident, he was still helping her intercede with the Golden Dragon King to prevent the Golden Dragon King from killing her, if it wasn't for his stupid behavior, how could everything have turned out like this?"

Everyone present looked at each other, and after a long time, Catherine couldn't help but speak: "High Priest, you are only following the words of the golden dragons, if you want to know the truth, I am afraid you will not know until Mr. Rogge returns!"

"When he comes back, do you know where he is now?" Goethe glared at Catherine fiercely, and retorted sharply, "What's more, who of you can guarantee that there is no second Wilhelm's spy among those who are standing beside him now?"

The people present looked at each other uneasily, and there was a hint of suspicion in their eyes, and the high priest continued to say, "I'm afraid that when the lone wolf returns, the holy weapon has already been brought home by the dark wizard!"

"What are you telling us about?" asked the leader of the Dwarven Elite Firebolt Regiment.

"My plan is that in this situation, the holy weapon is no longer suitable for storage in the Dragon Cliff!" The high priest's words made the people present couldn't help but be surprised, only to hear him say loudly: "The new king of the dragon clan has just been established, and it will take time for the internal stability to be stable, and the rest of the foreign clans are mixed here, and there is no guarantee that there is no William's traitor inside, so there is no way to guarantee the safety of the holy weapon!"

"What are you going to do with the Hallows?" asked Tali, uneasy.

"I'm going to bring the holy artifact back to the Imperial Capital and hand it over to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" replied the High Priest without hesitation.

"High priest, I don't think that's possible!" said Murphy, bitterly dissuading, "The proverb says: Don't put all your eggs in the same basket!"

"Once you transport the holy artifact back to the imperial capital, the Holy Guild Palace in Bahrain will become the target of William's focused attack, plus Elizabeth's blood clan is also eyeing it, the safety of the two holy artifacts is difficult to guarantee!"

"Hmph, ignorant fool!" the High Priest sneered contemptuously, "Don't doubt the defense power of the Imperial Holy Order, there are not only the two most elite regiments of the Empire, but also the most elite army of the human race, as long as the dark wizard and vampire dare to come, they will definitely die without a place to be buried!"

"High Priest!" Tully was about to speak, but Goethe waved her hand to stop her from speaking, and continued to speak loudly: "You should know that the vampire king approached the imperial capital from the capital of the Duchy of Deiz, but was blocked by the holy magic of His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the powerful military strength of the two regiments, and failed to break the city for a month, which already shows that the powerful defense of the imperial capital is unbreakable!"

"High Priest, the battle between the two armies is completely different from the current situation!" Murphy disagreed with the High Priest's words, and argued loudly: "The military strength of the imperial capital may be very strong, but William will not fight with us at all, the enemy is in the dark and I am in the open, even if you have a strong army, it will not help!"

"Hmph, I want to see what the dark wizard and his lackeys can do to escape His Majesty's eyes in the Imperial Capital where the Holy Light shines!" Goethe sneered and waved his hand arrogantly: "Needless to say, I am the messenger of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and according to the agreement I made with the Dragon Clan, I have the right to decide whether to take back the holy weapon for His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

He looked back at the newly succeeded Golden Dragon King, the Golden Dragon King pondered for a moment, and for a moment he was a little undecided, then Tali spoke again: "High Priest, you may be right, the human imperial capital does have a strong force to defend the holy weapon, but it is a long way to reach the imperial capital from here, how do you ensure the safety of the holy weapon on the way?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Goethe turned back unhurriedly and said, "With my Wings of Light priesthood here, those dark people don't dare to approach the holy weapon at all, if you don't worry, you can ask the dragons to send someone to protect us, and when we leave the forest and enter the human realm, there will naturally be principality troops to escort us back to Bahrain!"

Hearing Goethe's answer, Tali silently glanced at Murphy, and the adventurer shrugged helplessly, although they were worried about Goethe's approach, but they could not control him, and finally the new Golden Dragon King agreed to Goethe's request and took him to the storage room of the Hallows.

After obtaining the artifact, Goethe decided to set out overnight, and the Golden Dragon King sent eight golden dragons to guard his priestly corps until they entered the territory of the Duchy of Humanity.

"Shall we come with the priesthood?" Catherine asked Tali softly as the priesthood was ready to go.

"We don't know about Mr. Rogge and Grace now, if we leave like this, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome for Mr. Rogge to return here, maybe we should go to the Oak Temple to find the Great Druid first, and send Jim's body back by the way. Tali said worriedly.

"It's fine. Catherine looked at Monica, the little flower who was following her, and said.

"High Priest," after the discussion had been decided, Murphy came to Goethe's side and solemnly suggested to him: "As for the route back to the imperial capital, I suggest that you choose to return to the imperial capital from the Duchy of Itali, otherwise the road from the Dragon Cliff around the Duchy of Daode Izzy is too far, and the holy weapon is exposed on the road for one more day, and the danger will be greater!"

"You're too worried!" the high priest glanced at him casually, and then continued: "However, I originally planned to return to the imperial capital from Itali, so you don't need to worry about this, so it's better to find the lone wolf as soon as possible, and let him think about how to deal with that woman, and don't drag the Holy Church back any longer!"

With that, he gave the order to the priesthood to set off, and Murphy, Catherine, and Tali followed them all the way to the mouth of the valley, watching the priesthood leave the dragon valley under the escort of the Elven Knights and the Dwarven Firebolt and the Eight Golden Dragons, and the elven and dwarven forces would be separated from the priesthood in the neutral zone and return to their royal capital.

After seeing off the High Priest, the trio returned to the valley and asked the new Golden Dragon King to help them transport the charred Tree Man Jim's body to the Oak Temple, and the Golden Dragon King sent two dragons to help them transport Jim's body while carrying them in the direction of the Oak Temple.

Just as they flew over the forest, a little black owl suddenly landed on the dragon's back, and the red light flashed into Lilith in a black feather dress.

After hearing the news from Lilith, the three looked at each other, and Catherine told Lilith the news that the high priest had gone on his way with the holy artifact, and the three asked her about Grace, and Lilith told them what had happened.

"What do we do now?" asked Catherine, looking at Tully and Murphy blankly.

"At this point, even if we catch up with Goethe now, we can't say that he will change his mind, so it is better to go to the Oak Temple to meet Rogge first, and then listen to his decision!" Murphy suggested after a moment's hesitation.

Tully and Catherine had no better choice, so they agreed to Murphy's suggestion, and the dragon carried them over the forest, and along the way Tully asked Lilith to ask the nearby birds about the whereabouts of Goethe's team, and when they learned that their team was safe, everyone's worries gradually eased.

When the dragons finally reached the Oak Temple, they placed the body of Jim the Treant on the grass of the Oak Temple, and then said goodbye to the group, Catherine and Monica gave it to the Grand Druid, and Augustine promised Monica that he would help her bury Jim the Treant and plant new saplings in the place where he was buried.

Catherine also asked Augustine about Grace's condition, and learned that although Grace was out of danger after treatment, her injuries were still very serious and she was still in a coma, and Lady Louise was waiting by her side at all times to take care of her.

While Catherine was talking to Augustine, Murphy and Tully took the opportunity to tell Rogge that Goethe had taken the Hallows.

"Oh no!" Hearing the news they brought back, Rogge paused fiercely and said: "This is the result that William wants, the holy weapon is stored in the Dragon Cliff, and he has no chance to contact it at all, but if he leaves the Dragon Cliff, he will have ten thousand ways to take the holy weapon from Goethe's hands!"

"And what do we do now?" asked Tali, worried.

"If you catch up with Goethe, you will have to snatch the holy weapon back!" said Rogge, gritting his teeth.
