Chapter 48: Holy See
The emergence of the extra-dimensional rift made the mayors of Haitang County and surrounding counties nervous.
the strange thing is.
This dimensional crack only appeared for one night before disappearing without a trace.
When the Knights and Magicians rushed to the front line, apart from seeing a few hundred sporadic monsters from other dimensions, they did not encounter any other dangers.
On this night, several explosions in Haitang County only damaged buildings.
The casualties only occurred in the church in Haitang County.
More than 20 pastors and priests in the church were all killed.
A bright red flag was planted on the cross, which symbolizes light and justice.
It was not until this flag was discovered that everyone knew the culprit of this incident——
Red day!
The news has reached the Imperial Church.
At the long table, there were two archbishops and four cardinals.
Sitting at the upper seat was an old man in a white robe with gold edges.
The Archbishop of the Imperial Church——
Stephen Hawes!
Stephen Hawes sat upright in the high-backed bishop's chair.
Both hands were resting on the golden armrests, and the emerald agate rings on the thumbs reflected the nervous faces of everyone present.
"Who's going to speak first?" Stephen Hawes asked.
No one heard anger in his tone, but everyone felt his irritation.
Overnight, 22 pastors and priests died in the county church.
Among them was a cardinal in purple and two priests in white.
The murderer is none other than the Red Day Organization, which has been frequently provoking the Imperial Church during this period of time!
So far, no one has ever caught a member of the Red Day organization.
No one even discovered where their base was.
A group of powerful bishops couldn't even touch the clothes of these bandits.
How embarrassing!
"Let me do it." A cardinal sitting on the right side of the archbishop leaned forward.
"Since the incident involving Ryan Wood, his hometown, Haitang County, has been included in the list of counties under key surveillance."
"Because Ryan Wood had a conflict with the grandson of Duke Merlin, and then killed the grandson's caretaker, Duke Merlin has already taken action against the Wood family."
"After the imperial edict was issued, the main members of the Wood family were hanged, and the others were sent to the Abyss Fortress and other noble territories."
"In order to lure out Ryan Wood, the Begonia County Church only detained one person, Ryan Wood's sister, Julie Wood."
"During last night's incident, Red Day members killed 22 pastors and priests and took Ryan Wood's sister, Julie Wood, away."
"Therefore, I infer that this incident and the Red Day Organization are most likely related to Ryan Wood."
The cardinal said this, looked at the archbishop cautiously, then bowed and sat down.
Then another cardinal stood up.
"What I want to say is also related to Ryan Wood."
"We have found some clues about the black tower that appeared in Rogue Town."
"It could be the Seven Star Magic Tower that disappeared 500 years ago."
Hear it here.
The Archbishop's eyes moved.
Cross your hands and gently brush your thumb over the agate stone on your other thumb.
"go on."
The cardinal nodded and continued.
"500 years ago, the seven towers scattered across the magic continent disappeared at the same time, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"It is rumored that each of the Seven Star Magic Towers has its own unique abilities and possesses unfathomable magical power."
"The Black Tower in Rogue Town not only contains the power of black magic, but also has the ability to change the internal time and internal structure."
“That’s why, in past investigations, no one has ever been able to discover its true nature and only thought it was an ordinary tower.”
"Also, after the black tower collapsed that day, an eyewitness said that a red light shot up into the sky. It can be inferred that this black tower is still suppressing some powerful existence."
"An ordinary tower cannot do all these things at the same time. It cannot be the current magic tower that is independent of the three empires. So it can only be the Seven-Star Magic Tower that existed in the past but disappeared."
"Among the seven magic towers, the only tower that possesses the magic of time is Morgan's Tower."
When the cardinal said this, everyone except another cardinal and the archbishop looked confused.
They had never heard of objects like the Seven Star Magic Tower and Morgan.
what is that?
Isn't there only one magic tower in the magic continent?
It is not within the borders of the three great empires.
Only magicians who have reached the level of mage can be invited.
"It can't be a coincidence."
The Archbishop's eyes flickered.
Black Saul, Ryan Wood, the Iron Jungle Incident, the Red Day Organization, the Morgan Tower that disappeared for 500 years...
The Caesar Empire, which had been peaceful in the past, was in turmoil within the past half month.
If only one, or two, appear, it could be a coincidence.
But they appear so densely.
There must be an invisible pair of hands behind it.
Who on earth wants to go against the Imperial Church?
"Red Day appeared obviously to target the Holy See, and it appeared after the Iron Jungle incident. Eighty percent of the members of the Red Day organization are those fugitives." said another cardinal.
"Julie Wood was taken away by Hong Zhou, and there is little hope of luring Ryan Wood out again. If Hong Zhou is related to Ryan Wood, then the possibility of Ryan Wood appearing again is extremely small." The cardinal analyzed.
"Archbishop, should we focus on continuing to hunt down Ryan Wood, or should we concentrate on dealing with Red Day?" asked the cardinal.
"Let's deal with Hong Zhou first. This group of evil people must be eliminated."
The Archbishop placed his hands on the armrests again and leaned slightly against the back of his chair.
Said again.
"Holy Spirit Festival is coming soon. How are the preparations going in various places?"
"Everything is going according to plan, except that the location of the Holy Spirit Platform has not yet been chosen."
"Bring me the map."
A cardinal soon arrived with a map of Caesar's empire.
It was handed to the cardinal.
The cardinal then presents it to the archbishop for review.
The Archbishop's eyes swept across the map one by one, and finally stopped at a coordinate.
"This is it."
The Cardinal was slightly surprised when he saw where the Archbishop was pointing.
"Archbishop, this place is a bit sensitive. Would it be better to move to another place?"
"No need. No matter how sensitive it is, it happened thousands of years ago. This is where some people are attracted."
"I understand. Perhaps it will take a little longer to prepare."
"That's fine. This Holy Spirit Festival must be known to all the people of the Caesar Empire. The more grand it is, the better."
The cardinal looked at the archbishop's calm gaze and immediately understood the archbishop's intention.
"Yes! Archbishop!"
"Also, regarding the whereabouts of Ryan Wood, we should go to Mr. Franky of the Imperial Magic Corps. He may be able to figure it out."
