Chapter 180 -9: Heaven Rewards Diligence_4
“Oh, please let him in.” The thin old man seated in the big chair slowly opened his eyes. The world was so quiet, yet there were still countless mundane affairs that he needed to handle. Was this not a desecration and insult to his faith? Frenster did not know whether this was right or wrong. Perhaps it was only at the moment of ascending to heaven that he could understand the path he sought. “Bathing Fire Red Lotus attains eternity”, such an inconsistent phrase suddenly emerged in his mind.
The serious expression on Kent’s face told Frenster that this would be another unpleasant conversation. It was often only when facing difficult issues that the fearless Corps Commander of the Thunderhorse Knight Group would wear such an expression, which caused quite a bit of discomfort in Frenster’s heart.
Perhaps the rare good mood of the day might have to end here. But if he did not take on this responsibility, who else could shoulder this heavy burden?
“Captain Kent pays his respects to the Archbishop!” Following strict knightly etiquette, Kent entered briskly and touched his heart with a hand, bowing respectfully.
“Mr. Kent, please, take a seat here.” A faint smile, as clear as a brand etched into the depths of Kent’s tranquil mind, added threefold to the profound respect he already felt towards the Archbishop, who was very likely to become the next Pope. Kent showed nothing but reverence.
A gentleman may be deceived in honor, and Frenster extended the spiritual refreshment he had just completed outward, projecting it upon Kent with immediate effect, much to his satisfaction. “Mr. Kent, do you have any new discoveries?”
“Archbishop, indeed there are some new matters I need to report. While continuing their surveillance mission in the Caucasus Region of the Kingdom of Nicosia, Knights Green and Jep discovered the appearance of numerous suspicious individuals. They suspect the presence of Dark Mages among them, and the latest news that came back is that Knight Jep had a conflict with a Great Mysterium Devotee, unfortunately letting the opponent escape.”
“Have those two knights made any progress on our surveillance target?” The lean elder’s eyes gleamed with composed clarity after a moment’s thought.
“I am sorry to say that to date, there have been no findings. Due to the special identity of the target, Green and the others found it difficult to resort to other means. They could only persist with tireless surveillance and scouting. However, the opponent is very cunning and extremely cautious, rarely giving Green and Jep a chance to have better and more frequent contact.”
“What exactly is the reason for these Dark Cultivators to gather in the Caucasus? Are they possibly residents hidden among the populations of places like Myron Duchy or Meine City-State?” Frenster wanted to understand this issue.
“No, they should be from other regions. It is said that they went to Damarlinsk Castle at the invitation of the Lord for an adventure. Most of these people appeared in the Caucasus as Adventurers. From the analysis after the investigation by the two knights, they believe that a substantial part of this group has dark tendencies to varying degrees, hence they suspect the surveillance target is also practicing Dark Class magic, and they deem it entirely possible to use special methods to deal with this person.”
Corps Commander Kent finally voiced his view, continuously assigning his capable subordinates to this endless task was not his wish. In his opinion, if they could be certain of the target’s identity, they would only need to order the two knights to capture and escort the individual to Marco. Although the person was considered a Lord of the region in the Caucasus, Kent believed his two subordinates were capable of completing the task without alarming others.
Shaking his head slightly, a grave expression appeared on Frenster’s sallow cheeks, “Kent, you underestimate this person too much. If we suspect that Magician Malone might also have fallen to him, do you still believe he is so easy to apprehend? Moreover, he has now acquired a number of mysterious Mages.”
“What?!” Even though Kent was weathered by many storms, the Archbishop’s words shocked him to his feet, somewhat uncomposed as he asked, “Archbishop, are you saying Magician Malone died at his hands? What about the Church’s public announcement that Magician Malone died from a failed magic practice and the backlash of magic?”
“That was merely a smokescreen needed for political reasons.” Frenster noticed the obvious aversion the other had towards this revelation and smiled to himself.
It seemed that Corps Commander Kent was still unable to accept the fact that the Church was involved in political affairs, but the reality was such. If the Church could not secure leverage in its dealings with secular power, it would be just as difficult to prosper in a region.
“In fact, Onia and I both suspect this matter is related to the Caucasus Lord, but until now, we have not found any evidence, just like that time you carried out your mission. This person is very adept at handling aftermaths. Another point is that we have never been able to determine his motive for killing Malone, which is also why we have been hesitant to make a decision.” A complex expression appeared on his ruddy cheeks, “Sometimes I am not sure if my decisions are correct, but now this person’s identity is extraordinary. Although he is a minor lord in a remote corner, his status within the Kingdom of Nicosia is somewhat special. We cannot be too careful.”
