Chapter 267 The fated ending

Mayne passed through the glooe into the depths, arriving at the secret teantic cavity

His Excellency O'Brien was already waiting at the doorway

He seeed since the last ti out like a spider web from the corners of his inwardly sunken eyes and over his cheeks However, his smile was still just as soft and filled with concern Mayne couldn't keep his eyes froht He quickly sunk to his knees, “Your Holiness, we -”

“Rise, child,” the Pope’s voice was both gentle and calm “I've heard that you’ve run into some trouble Follow me to the hall and we can talk”

Today wasn't the Day of Conversion, so the hall's walls weren't decorated with as many candles as stars in the sky this time Instead, only a few candles had been placed over in the corner The Pope returned to his Lord's seat, breathing out in relief after he sat “Explain, just what happened outside”

Mayne fully realized the heaviness of His Holinessobien’s responsibility It wasn't that His Holiness couldn't find out news froh time to pay attention to trivial matter As a result of this, the three Archbishops were then established, and would coordinate the sure that they avoid bothering His Holiness with their matter as much as possible, but the current troubleso he was unable to solve by himself

Mayne sharply began to narrate theto end

“Heather is dead…” After listening to everything, O'Brian reh before saying, “She possessed a keen sense of observation and she was both a clever and devout little girl, I've seen her as she slowly grew up…”

“Feel free to grief, Your Holiness”

“The murderer must be punished,” the Pope nodded “How is the current situation, are Garcia and the Wolfsheart Kingdo any effect?”

“During the attack and capture of the Broken Tooth Castle it already showed its effect After a hold's defenders had fallen dead, and the Ares could quickly stor soul within the residential areas However, for the attack on Wolfsheart City, it seems the poison wasn't able to have the same influence and the enemy still remains tenaciously resistant” Mayne reported

“You made two mistakes,” O'Brien slowly said “The disease caused by the poison will lead to death within seven to ten days You should have taken advantage of the illness' first appearance to attack, then quickly rescued and given medical treatnificantly reduced their hostility Do not forget that e need the host city

“The second point is that you waited oneit in this way, you were able to reduce the casualties to a h tih time to find a way to cure the disease The essence of the new poison was theto what the Canon of Magic says, there are more than 70 kinds of abilities that can restrain the infections, and also more than 30 types which can exter for there to be such a witch within a city filled with tens of thousands of people”

“You mean, they colluded itches-”

“In the end, when facing a life and death crisis, no one will care whether they are the Devil's minions or not,” the Pope muttered

“No matter if those witches took the initiative to come out by theue, both possibilities sound like bad news for the Church If they really can stop the momentum of our attack, it is inevitable that the witches' reputation is bound to undergo soarded as heroes”

“This is allhis head

“It certainly was a rave one The reason you used this tactic was to reduce the losses of our Ares and God's Punishment Army,” O’Brien used his scepter to knock Mayne on the shoulder, “Furthermore, the fact that Graycastle's 3rd Princess Garcia and the Wolfsheart Kingdoether is also an opportunity for us”

“Op…portunity?” the Bishop asked shocked

“That's right! This ill have the opportunity to catch everything in one net,” O’Brien stood up, “You, come with me”
