Chapter 1102: Plunge into the Darkness
The northern county, the front line of the southern expedition, in the main hall of the royal palace.
An old man in a white robe and a crown sat in the center of the head, flanked by two old men dressed in red.
In the middle of the main hall lay a man, covered with a white cloth, who looked like a dead man.
"Luther, he has followed me for thirty years, he has done countless deeds for me, and now he has died in the vast snow-capped mountains, can any of you explain it to me?" The old man in white asked in a sad tone.
"His Majesty the Pope, Luther Magister left the palace alone, and his subordinates and Captain Chiron searched through the teleportation array he left behind, and then went all the way south through the surrounding elemental fluctuations, and found his body in a dilapidated town, where there were fierce battles, and even the elemental fluctuations of the ice forbidden spell remained." The head of the mage group stepped forward and said.
On the other side, the Knight Commander also stepped forward and said, "It is very strange to find that the Luther Magister died from a blow to the head through the examination of the corpse."
The Pope nodded, motioning for the two to continue.
"At the scene, the subordinates also discovered one point, that is, there was a small area where the power of the Holy Rank seemed to appear, so the subordinates dared to infer that the Luther Magister should have encountered a Saint-level powerhouse, and was killed after releasing the Ice Forbidden Spell." The Knight Commander said.
The Pope was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice, "No, if it was a Holy Rank powerhouse, it would be impossible to give him a chance to release the forbidden curse."
"I think it should be, he found a saint-level treasure out of nowhere, so he went to grab it alone, but was accidentally killed by the other party, so it seems more consistent with why he was hit in the head and died."
After thinking about it, the Pope continued, "Three years ago, I asked Luther to hunt down Diana's son, that teenage little doll, he returned in vain, presumably he should have found the Holy Order Treasure in the first place, but he couldn't get it immediately, so he left the teleportation array there."
If Luther had not died, hearing such a meticulous analysis of the Pope would surely have shouted that the Pope is wise and the Pope is wise.
In the palace, everyone nodded in agreement.
"What does this mean? Does this mean that the little doll was rescued by a saint-level powerhouse?"
"No... No, if it is a saint-level powerhouse, it is impossible and will not dare to provoke Luther, it seems that this sect is going to go on a personal trip." With that, the six-pointed star array on the pope's body flickered, and the whole person disappeared into the palace.
"Bring his body down and bury it, Chiron and Cario, you two captains need to have a snack, you've wasted too much time here in Thunder Fortress." The two cardinals spoke at the same time, and their voices were uncomfortable to listen to.
"Yes, please rest assured that the two cardinals will do their best to conquer the Thunder Fortress as soon as possible." Knight Leader Chiron and Mage Master Cario bowed and said.
"Let's disperse—" With that, the two cardinal archbishops gradually disappeared into place.
In the vast snow-capped mountains, there were still snowflakes here, and a six-pointed star array appeared out of thin air, and the white-clothed pope walked out, and for a moment, the snowflakes in the sky were like freezes, motionless.
"Let me see, what secrets are hidden here?" The Pope stomped his foot slightly, centered on him, and a circular energy spread out in all directions, making everything in its path transparent.
This is an extremely clever super probing technique.
"Is there a cave here?" The Pope retracted his mental strength and turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave hidden under the snow.
The Pope of the King Court of Beijun, the great mage of more than a hundred years old, is already one step away from the Holy Order, and now he is also one of the few strong people in the entire Zhongshi Continent.
Walking into the cave and continuing to walk towards the depths, a powerful spiritual power covered the entire snow-capped mountain, and everything here was within his spiritual perception.
"Looks like this is it." Standing in front of the cracks in the mountain, the Pope hesitated to go in.
"Since you're here, come in." Suddenly, a voice sounded, and the Pope's eyes suddenly widened, a strong man, an absolute Holy Rank powerhouse.
Without further hesitation, the Pope stepped through the barrier, and the narrow mountain crack appeared in front of him.
At the end, the Pope froze
Just like when Locke first came, he was shocked by the unique beauty of this place.
"Do you drink?" In the small courtyard below, Tianhui asked loudly while lying in a rocking chair.
The Pope smiled slightly, stepped directly into the void from top to bottom, and walked directly into the courtyard and sat down beside Tianhui.
"Plain water is fine." The Pope said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tianhui made a move with one hand, and a stream of clear water flew from the small river on the side, and fell steadily into the empty cup.
"The water is clean, you can taste it." Radiant said with a smile.
The Pope nodded slightly, picked up the cup and took a sip.
"Why did you come here?" Tianhui asked indifferently.
"One of my men died nearby half a month ago, so I wanted to ask if you knew the situation." The Pope put down his glass, looked at the Radiant and said.
"Is that the Ice Magister?" Radiant asked rhetorically.
"Exactly."
"He offended me, I killed him, I wonder if you are satisfied with this explanation?" Tianhui replied with a smile on his face.
The air fell silent for a moment, and the Pope stared at the Radiant without blinking.
"Your Excellency is really good-tempered, I don't know how Luther offended Your Excellency and wanted to stone him to death, this method is not in line with Your Excellency's strength." The Pope said coldly.
"I can kill him as much as I want, do you still need you to teach me to kill?" Radiant sat up and looked at the Pope with a smile on his face.
The Pope stood up slowly, he was thinking about whether to make a move, if it was for the sake of a dead person to offend a Holy Rank powerhouse, this deal was a little uneconomical.
"Let's go, this is not the place you should be, forget about this place when you go out, obedient." Radiant smiled and stood up and waved his hand, and the Pope disappeared directly in place.
By the time the Pope reacted, he was already standing in the vast snow, cold sweat sliding down his cheeks, the strength of the gray-clothed old man in this cave was too terrifying, and he was so weak in his hands.
The six-pointed star array teleported, and he fled back to the royal palace.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he found the head of the knights, Chron, and quietly assigned him a task, which only the two of them knew.
………
Locke soaked barefoot in the river, Ash frolicking in the trees beside him.
They have returned to Baoshan Town, the trip to the imperial capital has ended, and they will return to Thunder Fortress tomorrow after a day's rest.
Locke grabbed a small pebble in his hand, and from time to time threw one into the water, which made a small splash and rippled the calm river.
Bidding farewell to a lost relationship, his heart could not be calmed for a long time, at this time he was not a magician, not a duke's heir, not a knight who awakened his fighting spirit, he was just an ordinary person who had lost love.
"Plunge into the darkness...... a woman's voice suddenly sounded in his head, and the voice was so attractive that he was instantly intoxicated.
