Chapter 248 Sudden change
Even during the hot summer, the ice at the top of Hermes’ plateau never melted
Standing on the top of the heaven tower and looking at the far distance, Mayne rass and the white snow fro a scar left behind by war during the Months of Derow any sort of crops, so all the food they consumed in the New Holy City came froht up by some animal drawn carts
After staying in the city for more than a decade, Mayne had already become accustomed to the omnipresent cold of Hermes
“This time it will only be the two of us?” Tayfun pushed the door open and stepped in, “Further in the secret room?”
“Don’t tellshut into that narrow place?”
“No… of course not,” the old Bishop touched his white beard “If it wasn’t for Heather being in charge of all the rules and proclaier to exchange information at this spot each tiain, I would at least be able to enjoy the scenery of the Holy City below And…” He smiled and said, “I never expected someone like her who is always punctually, to not return on time”
“Perhaps she hadback to the table to take a place “Or perhaps she is already on her way back”
“Maybe…” Tayfun curled his lips, “You really should not help her look for an excuse, everyone should be able to send word even during their travels, these are words she had often said herself Even if you are in trouble, you should always report to us first Furtherdoer wouldn’t take any er would’ve”
“Let’s leave that matter for later,” Mayne said, then pushed three letters over to Tayfun “We seem to have a problem”
“There’s trouble?” The latter became startled, but then sat down across of the round table, spreading out the letters, “Are this all bad news?”
“Yes,” he took a deep breath, “It’s so bad, that it can’t get any worse”
Tayfun lost his san to carefully read the first letter, “… the spread of the deue has been stopped and the whereabouts of Faceless is unknown? Wait a ue?”
“It is the result of the Pivotal Secret Area’s latest research, you do not need to know all of the details, you arded as a rapidly infectious disease,” Mayne si to what Grandmaster Crow Eye had said, it was a kind of micro-demonic beast, that after special cultivation would mutate to directly attack the human body, and the Holy Elixir able to restrain the disease were also demonic beasts, merely with an even more smaller body “The cause of the disease cannot be directly observed with the eyes, and thus cannot be healed through conventional methods, and there should only be one kind of person that can stop the deue”
“Is that a witch?” Tayfun quickly thought of the answer
“Moreover, it should be more than one”
After reading the letter, the old Bishop hit with his fist on the table, “This idiot, as he thinking? Not even mention that he wanted to let the rats encircle and annihilate the mercenaries, he had even sent out Faceless? In the end, isn’t he even aware of the fact how important a pure witch is for us?”
“His plan wasn’t wrong,” Mayen frowned, “If the numbers in the letter aren’t a lie, then a thousand rats should have been enough to annihilate those one hundred mercenaries However, the other side seee crossbohich can be continuously fired Regarding this matter, I rehold had also mentioned that those weapons were the reason why Duke Ryan had lost his battle against a group of miners, the other side’s crossboere sinificantly reduce the power of a crossbow bolt, but rats don’t have any such equipment”
“Granted that it was right to send out those dregs, he should still have never easily sent out Faceless!” Tayfun answered enraged, “I’m afraid that after Heather corow a pure witch, further alone is already very energy consu From a certain attitude, they are even more valuable than the God’s Punishment Army”
“But whether it is a witch or the God’s Punishoal is to annihilate the ene so this process is inevitable”
“Don’t tellPriest Ferry?”
“Do not forget the law of the Church,” Mayne’s voice sank, “Just viewing the outcome is the way the aristocracy loves to handle such h this was clearly a failure of Priest Ferry, but his motive and plan didn’t have er than expected Of course, he will be punished, but the specific punishment ill have to be considered further”
“But Heather won’t see it like this,” Tayfun said, then shook his head and opened the second letter “Don’t forget that she is responsible for arbitration of the Church”
