I'm an antique shop owner, so it's reasonable for me to know some magic

Chapter 491

"Where is the paladin?"

Theresa, who had been eating non-stop and barely participating in the conversation, finally started to react.

"Vampires? How would they know where the paladin went?"

"According to him, it was just a coincidence, but he hopes to talk to Su Fan directly about many of the details."

Alice filtered out the redundant greetings in the letter, extracted all the useful information, and replied.

"And about Edward and Bella... they've been causing quite a stir in Forks lately, violating the laws enacted by the Volturi family."

However, Aro knew that you, Boss, had connections with them, so instead of taking action against them, he sent his personal guards to clean up their mess.

As she said this, Alice looked at Su Fan, leaned forward slightly, and bowed to her immature younger brother and future sister-in-law.

She had met Aro and knew how controlling that sinister and power-hungry vampire was.

If they weren't trying to curry favor with Su Fan, the Volturi would have already taken action against Edward and his group.

"No need to apologize, Alice."

Su Fan waved his hand, but his face did not show his usual gentle yet slightly mischievous smile. He was as calm as an ancient well with no bottom.

“Let them come and explain to me in person.”

Alice said nothing more upon hearing this, but simply sighed.

Men and women immersed in love are passionate and full of energy, but sometimes they only have eyes for each other, causing trouble for those around them without realizing it.

Edward, you've really stirred up a hornet's nest this time. You've really gotten yourself into a big mess.

Ron, who was listening in, didn't care about Alice's so-called unruly brother. She looked at Theresa with a surprised tone.

"A paladin? Is that the one I'm thinking of?"

When she first inherited the position of patriarch, it caused a sensation within the Mayfair family.

As the last witch in the prophecy, Ron possesses power far exceeding that of all her predecessors combined, and is even comparable to Rashe herself, making her a top-tier fighter.

In addition to her relationship with Suvan, who killed Rashe, many of the new generation members believe it's time for Mayfair to become great again.

However, this trend was quickly suppressed by the elders.

Ron also disagreed with the warlike voices within the clan, but he was also curious whether there were more secrets hidden behind the elders' tacit and forceful suppression.

Soon, Ron found the information in the family's secret files.

As one of the oldest existing supernatural organizations, the Holy See possesses an extremely profound heritage, among which the paladins are the most well-known.

They are not those ridiculous clowns who shout and fool the common people.

They are extraordinary warriors who genuinely receive the blessings of holy light and the power of God.

Not only do they possess superhuman physique and combat skills, but their mastery of holy power is also unparalleled. If they were to be hunted by them, the Mayfair family, with its own strength, would be utterly unable to contend with them.

Most importantly, such monstrous paladins are a sustainable resource for the Papacy, and their lifespans are extraordinary.

The Papacy was established as a mature governing organization a thousand years ago. In this long period, how many paladins have they prepared? And how many unexpected trump cards do they have?
Ron only remembered feeling a chill run down his spine when he realized it.

"If you're not referring to those in movies and TV shows, then that must be it."

Ron was somewhat surprised by Theresa's frank answer.

"Wait, shouldn't you have some reservations? Just like that..."

"The existence of paladins is no secret. If the outside world had the method to imitate and create them, they would have been copied long ago. Besides, you are Su Fan's friends. He trusts you, and I trust you too."

Theresa's poised and confident words made Ron feel a clear sense of the gap between them.

"How is old John?" Jamie asked at the opportune moment.

"When I opened the trunk just now, I saw that he was still unconscious."

"I'd better go and get him out so he doesn't suffocate."

Jamie said this and got up to leave his seat.

Alice and Ron immediately understood and each made up a different excuse to leave their seats.

Theresa showed them trust, but that didn't mean they could eavesdrop on the Vatican's secrets.

That would only get the former into unnecessary trouble.

Only Su Fan and Theresa remained in the restaurant.

"What do you plan to do about the missing paladin?"

“If we can bring them back, we should take them back first. Each of them is a warrior that the Holy See has painstakingly trained, especially at this time.”

“When I was studying at the Vatican, I heard the clergy working there say that the growth in the number of paladins has slowed down considerably in recent years.”

"The older generation of paladins has died, and there are not enough new generations. Now is also a time of strangeness and rampant demons... so that sometimes we have to take the place of the paladins to carry out missions."

Theresa propped her cheek up in frustration as she spoke.

"very tired?"

"Our bodies are not that fragile, and besides, we can travel all over Europe and experience different customs and cultures."

Bishop Fergus is getting on in years and still has to travel so much; it seems too much for him.

Upon hearing the other party's words, Su Fan knew that most of the information Fergus had given him during their last secret conversation was true.

The truth behind the dwindling number of Holy Knights in the Papacy is that God can no longer bestow His power upon believers on Earth.

Only the Pope himself and some bishops knew this; even Theresa, who was a candidate for sainthood, was kept in the dark for the time being.

“The Volturi family’s base is in Italy… which is very close to the Papacy. Perhaps we can inform Bishop Fergus and have him send people to meet them.”

Theresa muttered to herself, but quickly shook her head.

"The clergy of the Holy See are arrogant and pedantic. Sending him to the stronghold of the vampire royal family will only cause conflict, and may even cost him his life."

"Why don't you just go by yourself?"

Su Fan's suggestion surprised Theresa, but she quickly shook her head.

"No."

"why not?"

"No, it just won't work."

Theresa turned to look at Su Fan with considerable displeasure, only to find him smiling and watching her, seemingly waiting for her to reveal the real reason why she refused to leave London.

Theresa was speechless with anger.

"I won't tell you."

"I'm just kidding. Actually, after things are settled here, I plan to go to Italy."

Compared to the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean between the Americas and Europe is always rife with mysterious events.

Add to that the undiscovered island, and all the clues point to that mysterious sea area.
