Chapter 466 Speculations

Hamidi leaned against the living room window and looked up at the sky, gazing at the bright stars and sighing.

The city of Tristram was destroyed silently, and these people fled to Shattrath for refuge like stray dogs.

They have been stranded here for several days, but the Duke has not made any arrangements for them, which makes him feel uneasy.

Although they brought a lot of wealth, living off the wealth is not a solution.

"squeak"

The bedroom door was gently opened, and a beautiful woman in silk pajamas walked out. She came to Hamiti's side and said softly: "It's so late, why are you still not asleep? What are you thinking about? I've seen you look worried these days.

Tell me what's bothering you, maybe I can help you out."

The moonlight is bright, illuminating the snow-white and crystal-clear chest of the beautiful woman.

"Selena, why aren't you asleep yet?" Hamity smiled bitterly, taking his wife's hand and placing it on his cheek.

"Don't be too stressed. The current predicament is caused by this era. We just need to do what we can. Let the Lord of Fire judge everyone's fate."

Selena kissed her husband's forehead and said lovingly that she knew her husband had not had a good rest for several days after everyone rushed to the strange place in the north of the kingdom by airship.

Our Lord may no longer be able to protect his believers. Hamidi felt more and more bitter in his heart, but he could not tell anyone.

The information that the Lord of Fire was suspected to have been contaminated and turned into an evil creature should be known to the public as late as possible. He hid it from his wife because he wanted her to think that the world was not that bad.

"We saw the troops in the territory gathering this afternoon. Did something happen?"

Selina paused and continued:

"Judging from the soldiers' spirit, the strength of the army in the territory cannot be underestimated."

She was a third-rank priest and had good eyesight. Although she was far away, she could still feel how powerful the army was. They were even a little stronger than the Holy See's Crusaders.

Hamiti hummed and said gently: "That unit is called the Silver Dawn, and it is the Duke's direct force. In terms of eliteness, it is indeed much stronger than the Vatican's garrison.

What do you think, we should settle here permanently? "

Selina was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

"This place is great. The special magic circle is very beneficial to the growth of extraordinary people. No wonder the quality of the troops here is so high."

The family she came from was a small to medium-sized family rooted in the city of Bly. When the city of Tristram was besieged by fire zombies and the archbishop did not ask the Vatican for help, she realized that something was wrong with the Vatican.

Her husband didn't tell her the reason and she didn't ask. Now, her husband proposed to settle down in the small city in the north of the kingdom. She knew that they might never be able to return to their hometown.

There was another silence. The room was so quiet that one could even hear the night breeze blowing through the curtains.

Selina's voice became hoarse, and her words were lower than the night wind:

"Bishop Hamity, can you tell me what happened in Bligh?"

She smiled sadly and continued:

"It is the place where I spent my childhood and youth. It is also where my parents and other relatives live. It is the Church of the Lord of Fire and a haven for countless believers to rely on."

Hamidi closed his eyes, raised his head, sighed, and remained silent for a long time.

Selena's heart sank as she realized that the seriousness of the matter was beyond her worst imagination.

"The city of Bly was attacked by an unknown entity. The entire city."

Hamidi's voice dropped to a low note: "The entire city is just rubble. It's gone."

"how so?"

Gone? A city with nearly a million people gone? My relatives gone too?

Selina's expression was completely stagnant. Bly City was the seat of the Kingdom's Church and had the strongest sixth-order protection array in the country. The entire city was destroyed, so what level could the perpetrator be? She bit her lips tightly, not daring to think further.

Hamidi held her in his arms with compassion and patted her shoulder gently:

"We are safe now and the children are safe too."

Selena's tears couldn't stop flowing, wetting her husband's clothes.

At this moment, Wellington Saxon was standing in the living room of a room not far away, looking up at the stars in the sky.

He had been standing there for a long time, and especially after seeing a golden light flying out of the castle, he did not move a step.

The night in Moya Castle was like a bright moon hanging high in the sky. He saw clearly that the person flying out was none other than the Duke of the North, Crown.

The other party's sudden going out in the middle of the night made him alert, because he knew that Cthulhu's minions were heading north.

After a rough calculation, he believed that the enemy had entered the Duke's territory.

The Duke's troops have been assembled, and the Duke should lead them to fight the enemy.

But he felt something was wrong. Why didn't the Duke call them together? It was very likely that the Duke didn't trust them.

A petite maid came over with a tray with cheese, crackers, bread, some jam and a glass of red wine.

The maid placed the tray on the table and said softly:

"Your Highness, it's time for a midnight snack."

Your Highness?

Hearing this word, Wellington felt a pain in his heart. Perhaps he would no longer be qualified to call himself His Royal Highness.

"Leave it there. I have no appetite now."

Wellington waved his hand and continued:

"You go down first. I want to be quiet for a while."

The Duke went out to meet the enemy, and he could not eat until he had turned back.

The enemy is the minions of the evil god who captured the city of Porto Suva. He is well aware of how powerful the enemy is, and he has to wait for the results of the battle.

Not long after, he saw two golden lights flying in the sky. He was startled: "Why are you back so soon? How is the battle going?"

His heart was in turmoil as he waited for news from the Duke.

He was disappointed, only to see the Duke fly straight back to his room and never come out again.

The golden light at the back was the Duke's tamed animal, a large mutant crow. The crow flew back to its nest and there was no more movement.

Wellington was paralyzed. He had no way of knowing the battle situation. He guessed it should be good, otherwise the Duke would have to recruit more high-level extraordinary people to fight.

However, he couldn't sleep without hearing the news with his own ears.

The next day, Wellington, who had not slept all night, washed up and went out. He couldn't wait to have breakfast and wanted to meet the Duke to ask about what happened yesterday.

The Duke was not away for long, and he expected that the enemy he would encounter would most likely be just a small scout force, so there would be a fierce battle today or tonight.

Now is the time to show his ability. He needs to make it clear to the Duke that the Saxon family is willing to stand with the other party and jointly stop the enemy.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Hamidi who was walking towards him.

"Your Highness, good morning. Why are you out for a walk so early?"

Wellington quickly looked at the other person and said with a smile:

"I don't have the habit of getting up early to take a walk. I just remembered some urgent matters that I need to discuss with the Duke."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Hamiti said, extending his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Your Highness, please, let's go together!"

The two walked side by side and soon arrived in front of the main castle, where they met the butler.

Hamidi bowed slightly and said gently, "Mr. Lord, His Royal Highness Prince Wellington and I have important matters to discuss with the Duke. I wonder if the Duke of Crown has woken up?"

It is still early now, just half past six, the sun has not risen yet and the gray fog has not yet dissipated.

Lord smiled in return and responded kindly: "Good morning, Bishop, good morning, Your Highness. The Duke has woken up and is meditating in the quiet room, but it is inconvenient to disturb him now. Why don't you two wait until after breakfast? Or you can tell me what happened and I will mention it to the Duke during breakfast."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Duke gets up at five o'clock every day, and he must have been meditating for a long time now.

Unless there is something urgent, no one who comes to report in the early morning will be allowed to pass.

Wellington frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Lord, I want to ask you something. Last night, I was admiring the beauty of the night sky, and suddenly I saw a golden light flying away. I could vaguely see the figure of the Duke.

Based on what I saw and heard when I came here, I guess we should have found the vanguard of the evil god's minions. I wonder how the battle is going? Also, I came here this time to tell the Duke that if we fight against the main force of the evil god's minions, the Saxon family is willing to send out elite troops to fight alongside you.

The troops we can mobilize are: 6 fourth-level extraordinary people, 106 third-level extraordinary people, and more than 600 second-level extraordinary people. "

Lord was suspicious. At five o'clock in the morning, he met the Duke. The Duke did not tell him that there would be a battle today, but only told him to lift the first level combat readiness of the troops.

He fully understood what this sentence meant.

"Your Highness, perhaps you are mistaken. The Duke ended the battle last night, and there will be no fighting today."

"ah?"

"ah?"

Wellington and Hamity exclaimed in unison.

Hamiti looked at the prince, his eyes showing a very clear questioning meaning: "Your Highness, didn't you say that a group of Crusu's minions who captured the city of Portosuva were coming to Hamers by water?"

He knew the information about the city of Portosuva, which had the second strongest magic circle defense line in the kingdom, and the sixth-level protective magic circle was enough to keep out sixth-level enemies.

However, the city of Portosuva was breached. If there was no divine-level power involved, it would have required the gathering of a large number of sixth-order extraordinary creatures.

If such a powerful enemy wants to attack the city of Hamers, its offensive will inevitably come down with thunderous force, and will not give everyone much time to react.

But now, listening to the tone of the housekeeper, it seems that the matter has been resolved.

Wellington was also confused. Facing Hami's questioning gaze, he explained, "My father told me the news. He said that among the enemies that captured Portosuva City were Hydra, very tall Deep Ones, and countless high-level fishmen. He witnessed all of this with his own eyes."

He turned around and asked, "Mr. Lord, did His Excellency the Duke tell you the details of the battle that took place last night?"

Lord shook his head and laughed:

“Your Highness thinks too highly of me. I am only the steward of the Dukedom. How could His Excellency the Duke explain the whole story to a nobody like me?

Please go back, I will report your concerns to the Duke during breakfast."

Wellington and the other man looked at each other, bowed together, and then turned and left.

The two gradually walked away and out of Lord's sight.

Harrington glanced around, stopped Wellington from thinking, and said:

"Your Highness, what do you think about this matter?

A group of evil god's minions who were able to break through the sixth-order protective formation disappeared overnight. It is absolutely impossible for a sixth-order human transcendent to do such a thing.

unless"

"Unless the gods come to our aid," Wellington said leisurely, "Do you think that Clown believes in an ancient god who remains in the material world?"

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and this also explained why Clown was advancing so quickly.

Wellington calmed down and said, "This speculation has a huge impact. You and I should not spread it for the time being."

"I know," Hamiti glanced around and said, "Let's not talk about the war for now. Your Highness, has the royal family decided to settle down in Shattrath City in the future?"

"Yes, we have no choice. Cthulhu's minions are like a flood, and they will soon occupy the areas originally controlled by the family."

Wellington paused, then slapped his forehead suddenly and continued:

"I will write a letter immediately to tell my father what happened today."

After saying this, he strode away.

If there is a god behind Crown, things will become complicated.

Hamidi stared at the other person's back and murmured to himself, "There is another more shocking guess. There is no god standing behind the Duke. Instead, he himself has advanced to become a god."

His eyes were out of focus, and he seemed to be frightened by his own guess.

The divine level, also known as Holy Soul Gold, is a level of extraordinary creatures that have advanced to this level. Their body structure is completely different from that of their original race.

However, he did not find any special marks on the Duke, which overturned his guess.

'Is it possible that the holy marks revealed when the Duke advanced to the level of a god do not appear on the face or other prominent places like other gods?'

He shook his head violently. The more he thought about it, the more unreal it seemed. How old was the Duke? Only thirty.

If you want to advance to the Golden Stigma, you will have to practice for another twenty years before you have a chance! On the path of the extraordinary, the further you go, the harder it becomes.

After reaching the silver level, if one wants to advance to the next major realm, it will take at least several years and careful preparation, because there are too many precious materials to purchase.

For a human transcendent to advance from the sixth level to the golden level of stigmata, the shortest record is more than ten years, which was created by the goddess of vengeance in the previous era.

No matter how talented the Duke is, can he compare to the goddess of vengeance? Hamidi shook his head and stopped thinking about the things that he couldn't understand at all. Instead, he took a deep breath to calm his excitement.

He quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the house where he was staying temporarily. He wanted to tell his wife the news of last night.

A new god will definitely arouse his wife's interest. If he can become a new support in his wife's heart, he will be very grateful.
