After unwrapping the cloth bag, what Ghalib saw was a religious-style crown that emitted a faint glow visible to the naked eye. The entire crown was made of shiny metal wires intertwined in circles, and the top section of the crown was inlaid with a huge crystal clear diamond that glowed slowly under the sun.
"This is...Emanuelle's crown!"
Seeing the crown in front of him, Ghalib was so scared that he blurted out, and almost lost his grip on the thing in his hand. He didn't expect that his subordinate's blue-haired bag actually had something like Emmanuel in it! This kind of Radiance Church treasure has a very strong symbol of the devil printed on it, so it will be tracked no matter where it is stolen.
This thing is not allowed to be stolen!
Why? Why is the Crown of Emanuelle in this? Didn't I tell them to just take Albany's stuff? I didn't tell them to steal this!
Looking at the crown in his hand, Ghalib was extremely shocked. He thought at first that his subordinate was greedy and wanted to get some benefits when he was looking for donations from Ebenezer, so he was so bold as to steal the Crown of Emmanuel. But after thinking about it again, Ghalib realized that things were not that simple. His action this time was full of surprises. He encountered Antonio, who should have left, and now there were things that should not be stolen. This made Ghalib feel that he was being targeted. For a moment, he felt that he was caught in some huge conspiracy.
Looking at the Crown of Emmanuel in front of him, Ghalib felt anxious and excited. At this moment, he saw that there was something under the Crown of Emmanuel in the cloth bag. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was a small white card.
Seeing the card, Ghalib couldn't help but stare at it immediately, then picked up the card and turned it over in front of him. Then he saw on the card... was a message written by Ivig.
Staring at the message on the card, Ghalib's breathing became more rapid and his pupils shrank. After breathing heavily for a while, he finally uttered a noun through gritted teeth.
"Thief...K..."
Realizing that he had been tricked, Ghalib struck the tree beside him with a hammer viciously, breaking it and causing it to fall to the ground. He then threw the Crown of Emmanuel to the ground and wanted to run away immediately. Since he had not come to steal the Crown of Emmanuel from the beginning, he had not prepared anything to remove the talisman. Now he could only continue to run away to avoid being caught up by the people from the church.
Just as Ghalib stood up from under the tree, he saw a desperate scene of men in the distance.
Above the distant sea level, thick smoke was rising. Beneath the smoke, the shadows of several warships had already appeared on the sea, and were heading towards the island at high speed.
On the sea far away from the island, three small and slender church warships were cutting through the waves and sailing at high speed. Inside these light and high-speed warships with streamlined hulls, the extraordinary engines built by the White Stonemason Union were burning spiritual reserves at a sky-high price, providing powerful power for the entire ship, allowing it to move forward at a high speed.
On the warship, the church's naval soldiers were ready to go, and at the bow of the leading ship, Antonio was standing there with his robe blown by the sea breeze. As an extraordinary person of "Light", he could already see the horrified face of Gabriel on the distant island.
…
His gaze returned to Adria.
Night turned into day, and soon the pearl of Ivigli, a well-known tourist city in the North Sea, welcomed another morning. Amid the calls of seabirds, the people and tourists of Ivigli walked out of their homes as usual to start a day of work and travel. As a key tourist attraction, the Church of the Pure Flow welcomed the first batch of tourists early in the morning. However, these tourists found that there was something wrong with the Church of the Pure Flow that day.
Seals and police, this is the scene that appeared at all the entrances to the Cathedral Square, no matter whether it is the street or the bridge, there are people guarding it. The Cathedral Square, which was originally where the residents of Adria often gathered, has been completely blocked at this moment, and no one can enter. The reason is that the square is undergoing large-scale renovation and cannot be passed through. Faced with this unprecedented situation, the residents of Adria suddenly went crazy.
The square was being renovated and sealed off so tightly that the police were also called in to not allow anyone to pass. This is a lie!
Suddenly, people on the streets, in the alleys, and in the restaurants were discussing what had happened in the church square. Why was it suddenly blocked? Suddenly, many rumors were flying around. Some said that a large-scale gang fight had occurred in the square last night, killing dozens of people, because there were many loud noises in the square last night. Some people also saw that many church people were able to leave the square freely after the blockade, and said that a famous nun in Adria had disappeared in the square and was now looking for her.
Among these many claims, the most explosive and widely circulated one is that the Crown of Emmanuel in the Church of the Pure Flow was stolen! And it was the thief K who was reported in the newspaper not long ago who did it!
This statement came from some people in the church and an insurance company in Adria. They said mysteriously that at about yesterday morning, they suddenly received a lot of letters and postcards saying that Thief K was coming to see Adria's treasure, the Crown of Emanuel. Because there were too many postcards sent at that time, the front desk staff of the insurance company and the church, who were ordinary people in appearance, were unable to receive them all at once. Not only some ordinary employees saw it, but also some ordinary customers and donors who came to handle business saw it.
After this incident, the insurance company and the church asked ordinary employees and customers who saw the content of the postcard to insure the content of the postcard. However, since quite a large number of people saw it, the incident was leaked not long after.
This kind of protection requirement, when the facts come out, is basically like "I'm just telling you, don't tell anyone else, and you tell others, don't say it was me who said it."
At first, many people did not believe this rumor, but after the square was sealed off that morning, the spread of this rumor began to soar, instantly overshadowing other rumors and becoming the most important rumor.
The reason is simple: the people of Adria could see the flash of the Crown of Emmanuel almost every day on the top of the church, but now it has disappeared. They used a telescope to look at the top of the church, but all they could see was the thick and closed rolling door of the small attic. This is absolutely uncommon for the people of Adria.
The flash on the top of the church disappeared, which seemed to confirm the rumor that the Crown of Emmanuel was stolen. For a while, many places in the whole church were talking about the news of the legendary thief K and the Crown of Emmanuel, who was both powerful and courageous, including a restaurant.
At noon, Nefernis, who was wearing a purple tulle dress, was sitting at the window seat at the end of the dining table. She looked around at the discussions going on in the restaurant, looking a little anxious. She looked at Dorothy in front of her and said, "I'm fine."
"Um... Miss Dorothy, every time you send a notice, could you please be more quiet and just send it to one or two specific people instead of so many..."
"How can I be quieter? If I send just one letter, it will be easily considered a joke and ignored by the receptionist, so I sent more to make their superiors pay attention to it to be safer."
As she spoke, Dorothy took a mouthful of noodles, then looked at Nefernis and continued speaking in Priit.
"After all, for the people in this world, sending a notice before stealing something sounds too incredible. They need to gradually get used to this way of legend, don't you think? Thief Miss K."
