Chapter 557 Is Celia dead?

When the news of "Celia's disappearance" came, Flora and the other two immediately understood why those two fifth-order heretics had come to attract their attention in such a grand manner.

At first, they did not realize that the other party's target was Celia, because Celia had a weak presence at the banquet. She did not even interact with the bishop and Flora. After eating her fill before the banquet started, she found a corner to sit down by herself.

Flora and the bishop, surrounded by numerous nobles and sorcerers, did not notice whether Celia had attended the banquet.

The two had only met Celia once and were not even friends, so naturally they wouldn't immediately associate her with her.

Flora and the bishop looked at Boyce, "So when did Miss Celia attend the banquet? Why didn't you tell us?"

Boyce smiled wryly and said, "She arrived before you. I went to see her, and she said she didn't want to be disturbed, so I didn't bother her. When you came, I was too busy to tell you... I thought you would see her."

Flora and the bishop: "..."

Flora's face darkened: "So, Celia disappeared at your banquet?"

Boyce said, "Lesotho said they've left. Anyway, let's go back first."

"Alright."

If the Twilight Cult's goal is to capture Celia, then things are getting serious.

However, since Celia was already at the fourth rank, Flora found it hard to believe that Celia would be captured so easily.

The bishop said, "Now I understand why those two cast spells with such sweeping, powerful movements, as if they wanted everyone to see the power of their magic. It turns out it was to cover up the magical fluctuations that were erupting from other places."

Flora nodded, her gaze serious. "That should be the case, but Miss Celia should be with the crowd. If a battle breaks out, there's no reason why others wouldn't know."

“Miss Celia won’t be caught so easily,” Boyce said, sounding a little flustered.

Before long, the three returned to the castle and quickly learned what had happened inside.

To get a better view of the battle, Celia quietly left and ran away alone.

However, some people present also keenly sensed the battle fluctuations coming from behind.

However, since the battle was short and the fluctuations did not cause any damage to the castle, they assumed that the castle guards were fighting against infidels who had secretly infiltrated the castle, so they paid no attention to it.

For fourth-tier players, the combat scenes at fifth-tier are the most important.

Upon receiving the news, Boyce, Flora, and the bishop exchanged a glance and quickly went to the scene of the battle.

Seeing the remaining ice and shadow elements on the ground, Flora gripped her staff tightly, almost unable to control the surge of magical power.

"Ice magic is indeed Celia's main specialization, the other being the shadow faction..."

"The one who attacked Celia was a sorcerer from the Shadow faction!"

"No wonder it was so fast. A mage can't beat a shadow mage of the same level if they're caught off guard."

Boyce's expression shifted between light and dark. He suddenly looked in one direction and rushed over.

Not long after, he returned carrying a lifeless body.

Boyce's face was grim: "Damn it, he killed all the sorcerers I secretly planted. No wonder no one informed me."

There were more than just the three of them; Lesotho and some of his men had come along as well.

Upon hearing Boyce's words, and seeing the sorcerer who had died in his hand, Lesotho's expression changed.

"Could it be that Miss Celia died in our castle?"

Celia was a candidate for Holy Maiden of the Holy Court. It wouldn't matter if she died in the war against heretics.

But at the victory celebration after the war, they invited the other party over, which resulted in the other party's tragic death inside the castle...

Lesotho can already imagine the Holy Court, in conjunction with the Ishtar royal family, stripping them of their hereditary titles, imprisoning them, and ultimately leading to their execution.

Boom!
Boyce kicked Lesotho away, who was talking nonsense, and said angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. What nonsense are you spouting? Miss Celia is so powerful, how could she possibly die in our castle?"

If you're going to die, you should die outside!

No, no, no, if you're going to die, you shouldn't have disappeared in the castle and died.

Boyce glanced at Flora from the Temple of Embers and swallowed hard. "Lady Flora, um..."

Flora's eyes flashed, and after a moment of thought, she said, "Shadow mages do have a certain degree of advantage over traditional mages, but I don't think a shadow mage of the same level could kill Celia. Her record is more impressive than you imagine."

He was able to kill a fourth-level opponent when he was at the third level. Now that he is at the fourth level, how could he possibly be assassinated by someone of the same level?
Flora couldn't believe it no matter how hard she tried.

After pondering for a long time, she looked at Boyce and said coldly, "Lord of the City, I suggest that you immediately mobilize all the sorcerers under your command to search for Celia's whereabouts inside and outside the city."

Boyce nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I'll go and issue the emergency order now."

……

The entire city was operating in secret, while Celia, unaware that she had 'disappeared,' had already returned to the City of Dawn.

However, she didn't use her own appearance; she habitually disguised herself.

"I won't go to the banquet. I was just going there to freeload and find out about how Twilight Town is being dealt with."

Celia was very pleased.

She had already learned about the handling of the situation in Twilight Town. They didn't intend to do anything; they just wanted to observe and wait. They even sent people to keep an eye on the worshippers and secretly investigate whether they were loyal to the heresy.

If they're not heretics, then I won't bother with them.

After all, the so-called "heresy" refers to all those who do not believe in gods, or who create their own gods and spread their beliefs, except for those evil sects that commit all kinds of evil.

There was once a large-scale purge of heretics, but because some people always took advantage of the event to cause trouble, it created a lot of big news and was also closely related to the independence of the four great empires.

After that, the Holy Court dared not do it again.

"If I don't go to the banquet, I still have to pretend, otherwise if they find out, I won't be able to do my own thing in peace."

Celia is well aware of her own fame, especially within the Northern League and Ishtar.

At the higher levels, most people know her identity, and given her advancement, her appearances always cause unnecessary trouble.

"Speaking of which, will my leaving without saying goodbye cause trouble for the city lord? For example, will they think I've been arrested or something?"

Celia thought to herself.

Then he shook his head.

"How could such a thing be possible? It's not like a sixth-tier mage made the move."

Celia laughed out loud.

But it wasn't long before Celia stopped laughing.
