27 Chapter 27: Interrogating A Bishop (2/2)
Carefully putting the bishop on the floor in a sitting position making him lean against the wall, Alex gave the bishop a good look. The man before Alex was quite old, probably in his seventy's, his hair grey and his face marred by time with many wrinkles.
Alex placed his hand on the bishops head, ”I will make this as painless as possible”, he spoke softly at the bishop then chanted, ”animam quaerere(Soul Search)”. Alex closed his eyes as he looked through the bishop's soul, from the day he was born everything he knows or has forgotten Alex saw everything, from greatest accomplishments to darkest secrets. In just a few seconds the bishops entire lifetime of memories have been seen by Alex, ”Got it”, Alex said opening his eyes.
Alex turned to Aura who has been silent the entire time, ”What are you thinking”, he asked, approaching her.
”What, are we doing here Master, you haven't told me anything” Aura said, unsure of what to make of the situation.
”Children are being experimented on and we are here to find out where that place is and stop it”, Alex said.
”Then he...” Aura said viciously looking at the old bishop, ”He knows nothing”, said Alex alleviating her anger, ”but he knows where the person responsible is.” turning back to the bishop Alex spoke again, ”he is of low ranking, not qualified to know any details, even then I don't believe the church is wholly in the know about what is going on, this bishop only knew that Valper was busy with an important project and where it was taking place”.
”Where?” Aura asked she seemed worried about the children, that was the kindness found in all light elementals, wanting only to heal and help.
”As a bishop, he didn't know the precise location but he knew of the general location somewhere in Switzerland”, Alex said stretching out his hand towards Aura, ”Shall we?” he asked.
Aura didn't accept it immediately but turned towards the unconscious bishop, she pointed towards him as she sends a bit of light towards the bishop, as the light touched him his wrinkles started receding and his skin became healthier, he looked as if he had become twenty years younger. With that, she turned towards Alex smiled before taking his hand.
”Next stop, Switzerland”, Alex said preparing to teleport towards the country.
”Let's go,” aura said
Space twisted and as it returned to normal the duo disappeared.
...
Not long after the duo disappeared the barrier Alex sat up disappeared, and a lone deacon found the bishop. The deacon immediately ran towards the bishop, trying to wake him up.
The bishop's eyes slowly opened as he stared bleary-eyed at the deacon, his only thoughts, ”I've got to stop drinking,”
