Chapter 515: Countdown to Lanqi and Talia's mutual destruction
A giant country located in the west-central part of the southern continent.
The Kingdom of Canberra is the leader in comprehensive national strength among all the kingdoms on the southern continent, and it is also a kingdom that has remained neutral for many years.
Both the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association and the Card Creators Association are headquartered in the Kingdom of Canberra.
Its scale is even much larger than the huge Kingdom of Hutton on the east coast of the central southern continent.
The King's Capital of Canberra, where the United Kingdom's Parliamentary Chamber is located, is so magnificent that it seems to challenge the sky itself.
The tower building has a high ceiling decorated with intricate openwork patterns. Sunlight shines through these delicate openings, turning into countless golden lines that weave the space itself. The walls are inlaid with mosaics that depict the glorious history of the United Kingdom's Parliament.
In the top floor, there was a closed space filled with barriers and metal gates, and several figures were sitting at a round table.
The surface in the center of the round table was as smooth as a mirror, as if it was inlaid with a chessboard of stars, reflecting every ray of light in the room.
“How should we investigate?”
The air was filled with contemplation, and everyone sitting here had a serious, focused, and even nervous expression on their face.
They include permanent members of the United Kingdom Parliament, as well as representatives of associations, churches, societies, etc.
"No matter what, the cardinal from the northern continent has already brought real unrest. The southern part of Hutton Kingdom where he is located has been directly attacked by the Resurrection Church. It is hard to say that this cardinal has no connection with this attack."
"We must understand what his conspiracy is and any intelligence we have about him."
The congressmen's eyes moved between each other, as if trying to find each other's positions and ideas in silent communication.
The chessboard in the center of the table is an ancient divine object that can interact with the authority of the Pope passed down from ancient times by the Resurrection Church, and at the same time determine the approximate position of all cardinals.
In addition, its essence is a magical device with astrological properties. Every year or so, it can reflect the energy gathered by the stars and perform divination without the need for an astrologer.
Although the divination results can only present vague sand drawings on the star sand, it can eventually lock in more or less information without any clues.
Its divination effect on the "future" is not necessarily accurate, and its divination on the "present" is also easily misled. Only the divination on the "past" will be more accurate, but the time difference cannot be too long, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the more complex the problem itself, the more ambiguous the divination results will be.
Today, the core members of the United Kingdom Parliament decided to use their divination abilities to find out information about the new cardinal from the Northern Continent.
Yesterday's terrorist attack finally made them realize the danger posed by the new cardinal.
After discussion, they determined the direction of divination——
They wanted to see the most crucial scene for the new cardinal in the past few days.
Maybe we can find out the whole story of the attack on the southern part of Hutton Kingdom!
"Let's start with divination. If everyone has no objection, we can try divination with this."
"No."
Everyone responded.
Under the control of the Speaker, the star sand in the center of the chessboard turned into a flowing halo that flowed on the mirror. The pupils of all the core members were reflected in pure white, as if they were surrounded by the power of the stars, trying to be the first to witness the truth.
Eventually, the light blue star sand gradually condensed and took shape, turning into a blurry sand painting.
The congressmen all stood up.
He looked at the center of the round table with a frown.
"This is……"
"ah?"
There seemed to be three people on the sand painting that appeared to be a chessboard. They were entangled together like three ropes twisted into a knot. Their true appearance could not be seen at all, and no one even knew what they were doing.
"What on earth is this doing?"
Some people blushed, as if they felt that the new cardinal was doing something shameless.
The Speaker quickly coughed twice to ease the extremely awkward atmosphere in the parliament hall.
"In any case, let's first remake this Star Sand painting into a normal sand painting and publish it to some media outlets of the United Kingdom Parliament as an art painting. If anyone knows about this, please contact us immediately. In order to avoid causing panic, do not reveal that this painting is actually related to the new cardinal."
The Speaker looked at the painting solemnly and said.
The lines on the Xingsha sand painting can be roughly distinguished. The figure at the bottom is a male figure, while the figures riding on the top and sandwiched in the middle are slender female figures.
After listening to the speaker's idea, the members of parliament gradually nodded and agreed with it.
"The new cardinal must be a man with very messy relationships with men and women."
In short, they came to this conclusion.
"We may have to send professionals to the Kingdom of Hutton to investigate. I'm afraid we still won't be able to find the identity of the cardinal based on the clues in this painting alone."
The Speaker's resolute tone made no secret of his determination to catch the cardinal.
Originally, there were five bishops in the southern continent and five bishops in the northern continent, and they could still maintain a balance.
Half a year ago, after the great war between the Bishop of Destruction and the Bishop of Dimension, the Bishop of Dimension disappeared in the Southern Continent for a while, but returned again a few days ago. Not only that, an unidentified cardinal came to the Northern Continent.
There are now six bishops in the Southern Continent.
Coupled with the movements of the Kreming Empire, the United Parliament of the Southern Continent Kingdoms is now under tremendous pressure.
"I'll go."
At this time, a figure covered in light gold heavy armor sitting at a corner of the round table raised his hand.
The last time the high-level priests of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny were assessed in a high-dimensional observation space, the Chief Paladin was very worried about the mental state of his best friend Loren. He felt that he was in a very bad state and always had a bad feeling in his heart.
As expected, Loren had a tough battle yesterday.
Since the distance between the Kingdom of Canberra and the Kingdom of Hutton is extremely far, the Kingdom of Canberra is in the western part of the southern continent, and the Kingdom of Hutton is in the easternmost part of the southern continent, so the ultra-long-distance communication magic between the two countries needs to transfer stations in several countries, and it is difficult to contact each other on a normal basis.
If I want to go to the Kingdom of Hutton in person to see Loren, the journey is long and it is difficult to take a long vacation. Now I have the opportunity to go to the Kingdom of Hutton on a business trip.
“…”
The Speaker stared at the Paladin of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in amazement. He did not expect that the Paladin would be so determined to take on such a dangerous mission.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Speaker made a solemn request to the Chief Paladin.
"Um."
The Paladin Leader secretly clenched his fists.
My dear friend, here I come.
…
at the same time.
The Kingdom of Hutton, the capital is Ikerite.
At this time, it was not the peak dining time at Boss Cat's Restaurant and there were few customers.
Pranay stood behind the bar, wiping the glasses leisurely.
Sudden.
He covered his eyes with one hand, as if he had a sharp pain in his head.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Shinola hurried over and handed over a glass of water, asking with concern.
She felt her brother's face turned pale, as if he had seen something terrible.
However, they had just returned from escorting the dangerous Decayed Alchemy Beast from Nanwantina Territory this morning. Pranay had contributed the most, and after returning to the capital, they had to pretend that nothing had happened yesterday and continue working normally. It was normal for Pranay to be tired.
"Intermittent clairvoyance. I can't control this nascent magic right now."
Pranay gently took the cup of water, shook his head, and used a magical voice that only Shinola could hear to signal Shinola that he was fine.
Then, Pranay took a special look at Antanas.
Fortunately.
Antanas didn't notice him.
In fact, his clairvoyance seemed to have interfered with the divination spell that was cast from somewhere unknown, allowing him to see a scene that might change the node of the world line.
However.
He actually——
The three figures of the king, Hyperion, and Talia were tangled together on the ground! For a moment, Pranay suspected that his clairvoyance was broken.
He is still sweating.
He must not let anyone know that he knew.
Otherwise, even ten thousand lives won’t be able to survive!
This is something Pranay will take to his grave.
Pranay made up his mind.
"call……"
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to manage the restaurant, preparing for the peak period at noon.
Fortunately, Talia can't read minds.
According to the ancient books of the demon world that he knew, the demons' innate mind-reading ability might cause them to speak out what they read uncontrollably during the evolution process, just like his unfinished clairvoyance, which would be accompanied by some side effects when triggered intermittently.
Otherwise, if an accident happened, regardless of whether Pranay could survive, the king might really die with Talia.
