Chapter 44: Cardinal Adwell (for further reading)

"Hell... This is hell coming!" "Great Lord, please save your believers..."

After that doomsday-like scene came, the entire Harbor Town suddenly became chaotic. The temporarily organized militia guards were unable to maintain order. Figures running in a hurry could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

The raging fire that started at the dock continued to expand in the direction of the wind, seeming to encompass the entire harbor town.

"Move away the things that ignited the fire and create an open area. Where is the fire-fighting team? Get moving!" Tiris, the temporary guard captain, shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to use the 'Adian'

The isolation method taught by adults stopped the spreading fire.

It's a pity that the morale of the entire guard team has almost collapsed. Many people abandoned their weapons and fled outside the harbor town like crazy, ignoring his orders at all.

Seeing the raging flames getting closer and closer, Tiris was in despair.

At this moment, a loud voice like thunder rang in his ears.

"Praise to [Ella] - the Kingdom of Heaven has come!"

At this moment, the extremely chaotic Harbor Town seemed to have stopped in time. All the people who were fleeing in panic stopped and stopped in unison, looking up at the night sky.

The dust cloud that originally shrouded the city was torn to pieces under the influence of some powerful force. Then, a dazzling white light fell from the sky and spread over every corner of the harbor town.

Under the sweep of white light, everyone felt that their tired bodies were re-energized, and the despair and fear in their hearts were quickly fading away.

A man whose leg was broken by a falling rock in the disaster was surprised to find that his broken leg had recovered again, and his face suddenly showed extremely fanatical piety.

Covering half of the city, the raging fire known as the flames of hell, the devil incarnate, was quickly extinguished by such power and disappeared without a trace.

Then, the pure and flawless white light gradually gathered and turned into the shadow of a holy and noble goddess. She looked down at all living beings, with stars twinkling in her eyes, full of mystery and majesty.

"Lord, you have not abandoned your most devout believer after all!"

"The devil...the devil is dead...the great Lord of the Stars [Ella], thank you for your salvation..."

"Lord, I want to repent of my sins..."

Tens of thousands of residents in Harbor Town knelt on the ground, praying constantly, expressing their gratitude for the Lord's grace. Many people even kissed the land enthusiastically, showing their piety.

Of all the people present, the only one who could still maintain some sanity was Tiris.

After being exposed to the white light, a fanatical piety arose in his heart, but he did not kneel down on the spot, as if some magical power stopped his actions.

At some point, a middle-aged man wearing a red and gold robe and an iron mask appeared next to him.

"Your Majesty Cardinal!" Tiris immediately recognized the identity of the visitor from his clothes and saluted with great respect.

"Where's Ansiuk? Why did Harbor Town become like this?" Adwell looked around at the townspeople who were kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly, and asked directly. "If I'm not mistaken,

, the witch hunting ceremony should start at noon tomorrow."

As early as two days ago, the Holy City received a request for help from Anjuk. The archbishop of Nordland led an elite guard and was almost wiped out while rounding up several wizards.

Even the subjugation technique failed to keep the opponent alive.

According to the procedures of the Tribunal, no matter how troublesome the official wizard is, it is not worth letting him take action personally. However, Ansiuk specifically mentioned in the letter that the other party looks very young and will probably become a threat to the Holy See in the future.

What's even more terrifying is that the opponent can use a very strange kind of hellfire. If it spreads, it will burn down a town in a short time, but Ansiuk has no way to deal with it.

It was with these considerations in mind and to ensure nothing went wrong that he decided to go to Haigang Town in person. After noticing the fluctuations caused by the explosion of divine power during the journey, he left the accompanying priest behind and rushed over as quickly as possible alone.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

"The thing is like this, Lord Cardinal, earlier tonight, two devil's believers broke into Harbor Town and set the granary on fire..." Tiris told the whole story as concisely as possible.

Read it again.

When he heard that the person who destroyed the harbor dock was the wizard Anzhiuk was chasing, Edwell's expression suddenly became serious.

A great wizard actually hid his own power and lurked in the territory of Nordland in disguise. It didn't take long for him to know that he must be planning some kind of conspiracy to subvert the empire and the Holy See.

Thinking of this, Adwell saw the sail warship sailing into the fog through the sight of the projection of God, across the ruins of the harbor dock and the vast sea.

After roughly calculating the distance, Adwell quickly gave up the idea of ​​taking action. Even if he used the most powerful magic at his disposal, it would not be enough to pose a threat to a great wizard at such a long distance.

"You did a good job this time, at least you didn't cause the empire to suffer greater losses."

From Edwell's point of view, it was a blessing to have uncovered a deeply hidden great wizard at the cost of only half a seaport town.

Before, he thought that Ansiuk was a waste, and he was made so embarrassed by an official wizard. He was preparing to remove the other party's archbishop's identity after this incident, but now it seems that it was a crime other than war, and Anzuik's defeat

It's entirely because the enemy is too powerful.

Moreover, the casualties in Harbor Town were far lower than he expected. Adwell originally thought that in such a huge disaster, at least half of the tens of thousands of townspeople would be killed or injured. However, judging from the number of souls that were taken into the Holy Land, such a large number of souls were

In the disaster, less than 5,000 people died, including 3,000 black-armored guards.

This is simply a miracle...

"These are all orders from Lord Adrian." Tiris did not mean to take credit at all, and his face was full of resentment. "But Lord Adrian has followed Bishop Ansiuk into the port, and now I am afraid that...

"

"What a pity!" Edwell said regretfully. He was able to calm down the chaos in Harbor Town in a short period of time and organize the militia guards to quickly evacuate the townspeople. This is definitely a rare commanding talent.

"Has Ansiuk collected any information about the great wizard in so many days?" Adwell asked again.

Tiris hesitated for a moment. These things were not something that he, the captain of the guard, could touch. Fortunately, Merk, the lord of Harbor Town, had already rushed over. After learning about the cardinal's request, he immediately asked someone to take it out.

He received the information that Ansiuk had given him before.

However, after Adwell took the parchment roll and looked at it for a few times, his expression quickly froze.

Karl...the illegitimate son of the imperial noble Viscount Stirland, who is only seventeen years old this year, disappeared half a year ago, and the wizard Keru who was captured by them had arrived in the Stirland territory at the same time.

It is speculated that the wizard named Karl may be one of Kelu's apprentices.

"Which idiot collected this information?" Adwell scolded with great dissatisfaction.

This is complete nonsense. Can a new apprentice of a formal wizard who has only been employed for less than half a year use magic that destroys half of the harbor town?

I'm afraid the intelligence officers in Nordland have gone crazy...

The lord of Harbor Town was trembling and did not dare to reply.

Adwell ignored Merck, but took out the golden book hanging from his waist, turned to the latest page, and used his finger as a pen to write new information into it.
