The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

After listening, Nancy rubbed her temples, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

The matter at the An'i Church is still unresolved, and Alvin of the Thiel family is waiting for news from her side.

At this very moment, so many violent incidents occurred at Moon Bay Port.

If the People's Council finds out about this, will it question its own governance capabilities?

If this news gets out, will it affect the reputation of Moon Bay Port and lead to an economic downturn?

I have a feeling that Moon Bay Port has become less peaceful lately.

"Where is the prisoner? Has he been detained?"

"They were all imprisoned."

"Bring a few men with you to come and interrogate him."

Nancy arrived at the prison accompanied by guards.

The perpetrators of these violent incidents were all ragged and covered in blood, and they would pounce on anyone they saw.

For safety reasons, the guards have moved the other prisoners to other rooms.

Nancy tried to enter the prison and observe the prisoners through the iron bars.

But all you can see in their eyes is madness.

When the prisoners noticed someone approaching, they slammed against the iron bars, mouths agape, and desperately tried to pull Nancy away.

Nancy frowned slightly and took a few steps back.

The guard wanted to go forward and teach the prisoners a lesson, but remembering their previous outrageous behavior, he felt a little uneasy. In the end, he didn't go forward and instead stood obediently next to Nancy.

"Lord City Lord..."

“I’ve already questioned them, but these people are completely incapable of communicating.”

Nancy spotted a familiar figure in the prison.

That was the guard who used to be the prison's leader.

At this moment, the prison warden was in a corner of the cell, frantically scratching his face and neck, his body covered in blood.

"How come he's in there too?"

"What happened?"

The guard beside him stammered, "Reporting to the city lord."

"We found him on a street corner..."

"At the time, he was tearing at a middle-aged male townsman."

"Furthermore, we discovered that his wife had been brutally murdered in her home, her face unrecognizable, her stomach ripped out..."

"Without a doubt... it was him who did it."

Nancy felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had been doused with a bucket of ice water.

They were perfectly fine not long ago, but just a few days later, they've turned out like this.

What exactly happened to the prison captain?

"You lot, contact the Holy See immediately, and at the same time, find a few experienced magicians to come and investigate their situation."

"In my opinion, they must have been affected by magic."

"Maybe..."

Before Nancy could finish speaking, a commotion erupted at the prison gate.

Several more rioting townspeople were brought over, and the prison guards responsible for escorting them also had bite marks of varying degrees on their bodies.

They brandished their iron bars, cursing and whipping the townspeople.

Upon seeing Nancy, the guards immediately put away their iron bars and tried to explain.

However, Nancy waved them off.

"Take the person inside."

"Be very careful not to get hurt by them."

"Yes!"

Looking at the increasingly full prison and the townspeople who had gone mad.

An ominous premonition lingered in Nancy's mind.

It seems that Alvin's matter will have to be postponed for a while.

at the same time.

Daniel had just come out of the Bago Church in Biscayne.

The clues about the An'i Church have been taken away, leaving Daniel with no choice but to proceed to the next step.

That is, to fabricate rumors and forge evidence to solidify Olina's problems.

Fortunately, the priest at the Presbyterian Church was a reasonable man. Faced with money and status, this middle-aged priest was very willing to follow the arrangements of the Presbyterian Church.

Daniel convinced him, and it didn't take long.

However, for the forged evidence to be credible, the cooperation of the priests of Lavala City is required.

As far as Daniel knew, the current priestess of Lavala was named Helena, and she was about to retire. Her successor had already been chosen by the Elder Council. After five years of targeted training by the Elder Council, this young priestess was already a staunch conservative member who opposed Orina.

Daniel believes.

Instead of trying to persuade Helena, it would be better to have her retire directly and then have the new priestess, who is the candidate to take over, cooperate with him to fabricate evidence.

The best way to "retire" is to disappear completely.

Then, the rest is relatively easy to handle.

That is, to get rid of Helena.

However, Helena is, after all, an elder of the Papacy and possesses considerable strength.

If it comes to a head-on confrontation, Daniel isn't confident he can quickly kill Helena.

Most importantly, Daniel was a member of the Holy See's Knights Order. Openly assassinating a church priest could very well trigger a serious political crisis.

At that time, Elder Trishfa will face some pressure.

The best solution is to let outsiders handle Helena.

The best candidates, of course, were the man and woman that Trish Fa had given to Daniel before they set off.

But just as Daniel was making preparations, he discovered a very serious problem.

That was the man and woman Elder Trishfa had given him when he arrived; they had somehow escaped his control.

"Captain."

"I told you long ago, they are completely untrustworthy!"

"I wonder why Elder Trishfa let them come along!"

"It's a ticking time bomb!"

Daniel grumbled and cursed for a while, but he still couldn't get rid of the frustration in his chest.

"Commander, what should we do?"

"Does this mean we have to kill Priestess Helena?"

Daniel quickly raised his hand: "No."

"We do not have the ability to instantly kill Priestess Helena."

"If it cannot be resolved immediately, it will cause many problems."

Chapter 195 Confession or Prayer?

late at night.

The Monst Church in the main city of Lavala.

Helena sat in her room, with the information she had gathered that day laid out before her. Some of this information came from rumors, others from testimonies of guards at Moon Bay Harbor, and still others from a magician's investigation report.

Due to its geographical location, Lavala is a frequent destination for merchant caravans from other countries and regions.

Among them, there are naturally many believers of the Vatican.

After arriving at the Monster Church, they would also recount their experiences and observations along the way.

Therefore, Helena knew more than the other priestesses.

Especially magical tools.

Merchant caravans that traveled to various countries would be accompanied by some highly skilled magicians and agile adventurers to protect their goods from being plundered.

Therefore, they possess a wide variety of magical tools.

From them, Helena also learned about many magical tools with different abilities.

Among them, the works of the legendary craftsman Fernandez are particularly talked about.

The report Helena had on hand, along with the evidence from the on-site investigation, reminded her of a strange magical artifact she had heard about in the distant past.

It is said that the magical artifact was forged by Fernandez's apprentice by imitating his master's forging techniques.

It is a magical tool that combines the containment of dark attributes with the transmission of wind attribute energy, ultimately forming a tool that can rapidly corrode life.

However, this magical tool, capable of corrupting living beings, completely crossed Fernandez's bottom line.

The exceptionally talented disciple was expelled from the workshop because of this incident.

The magical artifact he forged also disappeared into the long river of history.

If I remember correctly...

That magical tool should be called...
