Underground in Pendor City, there is a winding passage.

Perhaps because it is located underground, the pitted walls are always damp, and the gaps between the bricks are filled with dark green moss.

On both sides of the passage were dim magic lamps fixed, in which the obsidian shone dimly.

At this moment, rhythmic sounds resounded in the passage. A man who looked like a priest was walking at the front, and two soldiers following him were escorting a prisoner to the ground.

This is the underground cell of Pendor City, where the most vicious mortals are imprisoned.

And the person being led to the ground was none other than the current undead mage, Tan Xiao.

Time went back to two days ago, when the curtain of wronged souls was completely broken, a scene like a nuclear explosion erupted at the location of the Temple of No Return City.

Almost everyone realized that it was Elijah's self-destruction that would produce a horrific scene.

For the undead, the terrifying high temperature that could kill them upon contact was more like the warm sunshine of winter for the warriors who were fighting fiercely in Wuhui City and those outside the city who had finally purified the Veil of Wrong Souls.

At that moment, the blizzard clouds created by Fraze completely disappeared in the sky of No Return City. Instead, there were thickening cumulonimbus clouds on the higher sky. Coupled with the terrifying high temperature caused by Elijah's self-destruction, it rained heavily in Wuhui City.

The pastor stood motionless in the rain, praying with his eyes closed. His face was covered with water stains. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.

Almost all the people who survived without returning to the city knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Elijah's explosion. Their cries mixed with the sound of rain turned into a sad song, as if they were seeing Elijah off.

On the outside, there are the adventurers who have been watching the show, and they probably know what happened.

However, they had no idea about Pope Elijah, and they didn't know anything about Wuhui City. Some people couldn't bear to see such a sad scene in front of them and turned around to leave. Others were exploring the friend channel with great interest, talking about the changes in the quest line that this incident would cause, and also mixed in the praise of the magical world.

"It's really a big production! These NPCs are so realistic"

"Don't tell me, my wife has started to drop pearls."

But at this moment, a figure gradually falling in the sky began to attract the attention of nearby people.

"Who are you."

The person who discovered Tan Xiao was the priest who saw him opening a door outside the Curtain of Wrong Souls that day.

"Your Excellency Sophia! That's that person! It was through the gap he opened that His Highness Elijah entered the City of No Return!"

His shout attracted everyone's attention, and then Sophia's eyes fell on Tan Xiao.

"Huh? This is."

Tan Xiao only felt that there was a sharp gaze looking at him. It was Sophia's skill [Delusion-breaking Gaze]. Tan Xiao's profession was instantly noticed by the other party.

"Undead Mage?! Quick! Catch him!"

Sophia gave the order, and the people around her immediately reacted. The excited clergy swarmed forward and subdued Tan Xiao.

As a result, Tan Xiao was sent to Pende City Prison.

Only then did the previous scene happen, and at this moment, Tan Xiao was about to be sent to the Pandel City Temple, where he was going to be judged by the Goddess of Courage.

"Adventurer Feng Sheng, as far as I know, it is impossible for anyone in the Star Pulse Empire to change the profession of the Undead Mage. So I have reason to believe that you have colluded with the undead to introduce the Pope to the city without return and kill him. , to weaken the power of our human race, right?"

The speaker was Cyprian the Wise, the northern archbishop who came from the northern diocese. He received the news of the fall of Wuhui City a little later than Elijah, which made him arrive at Wuhui City half a day late.

However, in this half-day, because Tan Xiao suddenly opened the curtain of wronged souls, Elijah took the lead in entering the city of no return, which ultimately led to his death.

Only then did Tan Xiao know why Elijah gave him the Paladin's Certificate before he blew himself up.

Although it did not improve his combat power, Elijah seemed to have anticipated the risks that Tan Xiao's career might face, so he handed the Paladin Certificate to Tan Xiao in advance.

Tan Xiao did not answer the question directly, but gestured to the people around him to untie the shackles on his hands.

"I have evidence, please unlock the seal on my hand."

As he said this, the expected opposition appeared.

"Absolutely not! Bishop Cyprian, if it takes out any equipment, Pendor City will be in danger!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Echoes came and went.

The tragic situation of not being able to return to the city frightened these people. They were afraid that the same tragedy would happen to Pendor City. This is why Tan Xiao was controlled immediately and a very strong seal was imposed on him, so that he could not make any resistance and was thrown into Pandel City Prison.

Just as Cyprian was weighing, there was a commotion outside the trial hall, followed by the sound of the army's neat steps and the kneeling greetings of the surrounding crowd.

It was King Chris Stella who was there in person.

"His Majesty King Chris!"

Cyprian was also extremely surprised by the king's presence. Although he was the Archbishop of the North, he stood up and saluted as usual.

"It's okay, you continue."

After King Chris arrived, naturally someone immediately moved a throne near Cyprian for Chris to listen.

At the same time, Chris’s voice echoed through the hall,

"Since he wants to get evidence, let him show it. If he is really an undead person, he won't be able to make trouble."

Chris turned his head and looked at the figure following him closely. He could not see his appearance under the white cloak, but the aura exuding from him could not be faked. He was obviously a fourth-level combatant, Xingmai. One of the strongest men in the kingdom.

"What do you think?"

The figure under the cloak nodded without speaking, which was considered an answer.

Only fourth-level combat personnel dared to answer the king's questions like this.

As a result, the seal on Tan Xiao's hand was lifted, and what he took out was exactly what Elijah gave him, the Holy Knight's Certificate.

"ah!?"

"The Holy Knight's Certificate? Is that the Holy Knight's Certificate?"

"It can't be fake, right?"

"It looks real!"

The people around them spoke in surprise after seeing what Tan Xiao took out.

Cyprian also stood up and looked at the shining paladin's certificate in Tan Xiao's hand with a puzzled expression.

The expression on Chris's face did not change. He raised his chin towards Tan Xiao. The guard next to him stepped forward to take what Tan Xiao took out and returned to Chris.

"His Majesty."

Chris took the Paladin Certificate, looked at it carefully for a moment, handed it to Cyprian at the side, and then said something that everyone present did not expect,

"It's fake. It looks like he is a spy. He will be executed immediately."

Cyprian looked at the Paladin Certificate in his hand, and then at Chris's expression, full of confusion.
