As Cody continued to talk, several bishops and priests in the church became furious, and voices of condemnation rose one after another.
Especially North, his face was as gloomy as water, and there was a cold aura around him. If Cardinal Anruk had not spoken yet, he would have already rushed into William's mansion.
The great defeat outside the earldom and the countless soldiers and colleagues who died tragically in front of him made North's inner anger continue to surge.
As a wizard's lackey, William, who continuously delivers supplies to the wizarding land, has done so many bad things that are beyond description. Even sending him to hell would not be enough to vent his hatred!
"Since William is working for those wizards, why did he tell me those two pieces of news?" Anluk continued to ask.
The church was not completely unaware of the unusual behavior of the second prince Hattar, or rather, most of the nobles in the kingdom had noticed it. After all, Hattar's performance in the hall was too poor.
The only thing they didn't expect was that the other party had the courage to seize the throne by force. There was no other explanation except that they were bewitched by the devil.
"It's Master Hellram, Lord William's successor, who is dead..." Cody said hesitantly.
As he spoke in a confessional manner, the power of the divine arts was slowly fading, and Cody had regained some consciousness. However, facing the most powerful man in the entire kingdom, the cardinal of the church, he did not dare to tell any lies. After all, he would be easily seen through by the other party.
Not to mention that he had already revealed too much information, including what should and shouldn't be revealed. At this moment, the only way to survive was to continue talking...
"Also... there may be trouble in the wizard land. Recently, the fog in the Sea of Mist has shown signs of gradually dissipating, so Sir William feels that the end of those wizards is approaching..."
"The Sea of Mist?" North and his companions paused for a moment, and immediately turned to look at Anluk. It was the first time they heard of the so-called wizard holy land. The evil demon's base was actually on the other side of the Sea of Mist! Anluk was not moved at all. As for the changes in the Sea of Mist, the Bible had already given a prophecy two months ago.
"Are the miners' riots related to these evil god believers from the land of wizards?" North shouted harshly.
"Lord William doesn't know much about this matter. The newly appointed wizard does not trust us. However, Lord William has found out that Sir Anthony seems to have appeared on the battlefield." Cody swallowed and spoke in a low voice.
"Anthony..." Anluk whispered softly. He was not unfamiliar with the name. He even knew that the magic school founded by this great wizard was operating in the royal capital.
He did not rush to take action against this group of people, firstly because of the overt and covert obstruction of the royal family, and secondly because he wanted to take this opportunity to root out the parasites within the kingdom.
However, they didn't expect that the other party would get involved with the wizard land and cause a massacre of tens of thousands of people.
"How many wizards have arrived in the kingdom from that evil land, and who is their leader?" asked Anluk.
"I don't know, but the number shouldn't be too many. The leader is a wizard named Lin En, who looks very young and is the current controller of Yieta." Cody paused and continued. "I heard that he came to Yieta from the Sekas Empire two years ago."
Anruk inexplicably remembered the information passed on by North and others, which mentioned a strange hellfire. With a thought, he took out a golden book from his waist, flipped it spontaneously, and stopped at a certain page, showing it in front of Cody.
[Name: Carl (real name not confirmed)
Extremely Dangerous (Great Wizard)
Note: Proficient in elemental and shaping magic, able to control a powerful and difficult to extinguish flame.
Reward: Secas gold coins... 50,000! 】
"Except for the mismatch in name, this should be the wizard who rules Yieta." Cody said with certainty, recalling the intelligence he had gathered at Yieta Harbor.
Anluik pondered for a while, and then suddenly put his hand on Cody's head.
The magic of exploring memory instantly flooded into Cody's mind. Compared with Cody's words, he trusted what he saw with his own eyes more.
About two or three minutes later, after exploring Cody's memory, Anluik confirmed this 100%.
No wonder the army led by Grand Duke Rickman was defeated so quickly, it turned out that their opponents were two great wizards! From Cody's memory, Anluk discovered a lot of important information.
In the past, when they were sailing, they would use a special compass to locate the wizarding land so as not to get lost on the sea.
However, this very important instrument has been taken back by the new controller of Yieta.
Obviously Cody did not lie. After Helram's death, there was indeed some rift between William and those wizards. Now the transportation affairs have nothing to do with William at all.
Those wizards are using a magical alchemical device that can fly in the sky to transport large amounts of ore from the kingdom. Their purpose should be to produce weapons to deal with the war.
As for the purpose of inciting the miners to revolt, Anluik could also guess that it was nothing more than creating unrest within the kingdom, attracting their attention, and thus delaying the pace of the Holy See's destruction of this sinful place.
Thinking of this, Anluik looked at Cody with cold eyes and spoke.
"The Lord is forgiving and merciful. Go tell William that he needs more sincerity to redeem his sins. This is your only chance!"
Since these wizards can come and go freely between the two places, they must have mastered the method of locating the wizards' places.
As early as two months ago, the church was preparing for a war to destroy the wizard land. The reason why it had not taken action yet was simply because the ship that went to the sea to search for the wizard land had not returned yet.
If he could get the compass to locate the wizard's land, or even seize that strange alchemical instrument that could fly in the sky, it would undoubtedly be a huge achievement!
Seeing that the Cardinal actually wanted to forgive William, North and others were extremely indignant. In their opinion, William was just a double-dealer who was sitting on the fence and could not even repent and atone for his sins. He only changed his position hypocritically and pretended to be repentant suddenly when he saw that those wizards were about to be destroyed.
Such people should be damned in hell forever...
