Chapter 108 The Queen is Missing (3K)
When he returned from the Arcane Academy, Lear felt helpless. He ultimately failed to stop Erwin from interfering in the Queen's affairs.
Erwin wanted to help him find the princess, which was perfectly fine, and Lear didn't even know how to argue with that.
Although he failed to stop the cooperation between Erwin and the Golden Church, Lear was not too distressed.
The Golden Church planned to pretend to agree to the deal and then attack him during the transaction, but Lear had no intention of keeping the appointment at all.
He just wanted to divert the Golden Church's attention. Before the agreed transaction, once he figured out the internal layout of the Golden Cathedral, he would take action directly.
In the afternoon, Lear came to the Golden Cathedral. At this time, there were still many reporters in front of the Golden Cathedral.
Wuer looked at the reporters with a serious face and read out the notice in his hand.
"The Golden Church is willing to agree to the Blood Apostle's request and exchange the Queen for the Saint Girl at the Lord's Cemetery the day after tomorrow."
Wu Er said this seriously, but he was very happy in his heart. Sylvia had accepted his plan. If he could successfully rescue the Saint and capture the Blood Apostle, it would be a great achievement for him! The reporters around him looked at each other in bewilderment. The Golden Church actually compromised?
"Please publish this news in the newspaper and make sure the Blood Apostles can see it." Ur said again, reminding the reporters around him.
All the reporters nodded. Even if Wuer didn't say it, they would not let go of such news. Now the most concerned issue in the entire royal city was the matter of the queen and the blood apostle.
This will affect their performance.
Lear watched from a distance, and after receiving satisfactory news, the reporters dispersed and Ur returned to the Golden Cathedral.
After waiting for half an hour, Lear also walked towards the Golden Cathedral. He walked straight in. The Golden Cultist guarding the door saw Lear coming.
"Mr. Lear?" The believer recognized Lear's identity and said respectfully.
"Is High Priest Silvia here?" Lear asked.
"You're looking for the high priest?" The church member was stunned for a moment, then said with some embarrassment, "The high priest is not in the church right now. If you're looking for the high priest, you may have to wait a while."
"Not here?"
"Yes."
Li Er glanced at the interior of the church without leaving a trace, and then said, "Can I go into the church to take a look and wait for a while?"
The Golden Cultists hesitated when they heard this.
Seeing the Golden Cultist's hesitation, Li Er took out the Golden Tree Badge that Gass had given him and said, "This should allow me to enter."
Looking at the emblem in Lear's hand, the Golden Church's eyes widened, and then his attitude changed, "Of course, Mr. Lear, with the emblem you can stay freely in the Golden Church anywhere."
Li Er nodded when he heard this. In his previous life, someone had obtained the Golden Tree Emblem. Simply put, this emblem meant that one could stay freely in the Golden Church, and the Golden Church would meet one's living and food needs within normal limits.
It's almost like a permanent golden meal ticket to the Vatican.
With this, Lear can cross Silvia and enter the Golden Cathedral directly. After all, the Golden Cathedral is generally not open to outsiders. At most, only the prayer room outside allows ordinary believers to pray.
The interior of the church is a real golden cathedral. Generally, only internal personnel of the Golden Church and legal professionals are allowed to enter. Or, when princes and nobles who believe in the Golden Law hold weddings, they can apply to borrow the cathedral.
Lear smiled, put away the golden tree emblem, walked past the believers and entered the cathedral.
When Lear arrived at the hall, he didn't see anyone. He felt a little strange because the afternoon should be the prayer time.
However, the fact that there was no one around made it easier for him to plan his route, and as he walked along, Lear came to the entrance to the underground prison.
There was a guard guarding the entrance. Lear stood far away and waited for the guard to turn his back. He quickly walked up to him, knocked the guard unconscious with a knife, and then walked in.
Lear soon arrived at the queen's place where the guard had brought him before, but the prison was empty.
The queen is gone.
Across the prison, the bound Dahei saw Lear and was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Lear!"
Lear reacted from his confusion over the queen's disappearance and saw Dahei who was imprisoned opposite.
"Where is the queen?" Lear asked.
"The queen was taken away by people from the Vatican." Dahei answered subconsciously.
"Where did you go?"
"I didn't hear that." Dahei smiled awkwardly.
Lear frowned, things were again beyond his control.
It was bad enough that the Golden Church invited Erwin, but now even the queen has disappeared.
Did the Golden Church transfer the queen? Was it because they were afraid that he would break out of prison early? Where would they transfer her? Li Er took a deep breath and regretted why he didn't give the queen a blood mark when he saw her before.
Lear walked around the prison in despair, but there was indeed no sign of the queen.
After more than ten minutes, he returned to where the queen was supposed to be with a somewhat grim expression on his face. He was silent for a few seconds, and finally turned and left.
Dahei looked at this scene with some surprise, and watched Li Er's back disappear into the prison.
…
The queen was missing, which was unexpected.
When Li Er returned to the mansion, he also received news from the incarnation of blood. Dahei passed the information to Li Huanhuan and then to him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lear looked absent-minded, Millia asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to rescue the queen." Lear smiled nonchalantly.
"I heard that the Golden Church has agreed to exchange the Queen Mother for the Saint. Are you really going to let the Saint go?" Millia asked.
She already knew what Lear had done, but if she let the saint go, her and Lear's affairs would be exposed. Even if she brought her mother back, they would still be in danger.
"The Golden Church didn't really agree. They just pretended to agree to my request and then wanted to lure me out and arrest me." Lear shook his head.
Milia's eyes widened, and after a while she said angrily: "How could the Golden Church do this!"
"Don't worry, I will rescue Her Majesty the Queen, I will not return the Saint to them, and our secret will not be exposed." Lear stroked Millia's hair gently, his tone was relaxed, but his heart was a little heavy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"By the way, are you familiar with the Morning Star Scepter?" Li Er suddenly asked.
"I have already mastered it!" Millia laughed when she heard Li Er mention the Morning Star Scepter.
She directly picked up the scepter on the bedside, which was emitting a faint blue light.
"I have mastered both features of the scepter. I can see anything that happens within a range of ten kilometers through the gemstone mirror!" Millia said proudly, and the scene outside appeared in the sapphire mirror of the Morning Star Scepter.
It was already dark outside and the environment was somewhat murky, but the image in the mirror of the Morning Star Scepter was very clear, and even in places without light it could be seen clearly.
Looking at the image in the mirror, Li Er suddenly had an idea and said to Milia, "Can you adjust the image to the location of the Golden Cathedral?"
"Of course!" Millia nodded, slid the scepter a few times, and the Golden Cathedral appeared in the mirror.
Millia continued to click, and the image in the mirror continued to expand, and finally she passed through the stained glass on the dome of the cathedral and entered the interior of the church.
In the hall, Sylvia was talking with a group of Golden Cultists.
Li Er was shocked by the function of the Morning Star Scepter. "The mirror of the scepter also has the function of perspective?"
"As long as the starlight can shine in, you can see it." Millia nodded.
Li Er didn't know what to say. This function was really beyond belief.
"If you get closer, you can hear their conversation!" Millia added.
Her hands slid across the mirror, and soon Sylvia's voice was heard from the mirror.
"Just in case, I have moved the queen. When we trade with the Blood Apostle, Gass will lead the other Golden Cultists to guard her."
"Ur and I will take the dummy to the Lord's Cemetery to lure out the Blood Apostle. Ur, you must have Archmage Elvin hide in the dark and not alert the enemy."
In the Cathedral, Sylvia was making preparations for the transaction, completely unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching them.
Lear stared at Sylvia, hoping that he could tell him some information about where the queen was transferred to.
But he was disappointed, Sylvia said nothing.
"How is it? Is this information helpful to you?" Millia looked at Lear carefully. She really hoped that she could help Lear.
Li Er came back to his senses and smiled, "Of course, it helps a lot."
He patted Milia's little head, but this was not to comfort her.
Although Sylvia did not directly say where the queen was transferred to, she said that Bishop Gass would be there to guard her, which means that Bishop Gass knew the whereabouts of the queen.
Lear's eyes became gloomy. If that was the case, he could find out the whereabouts of the queen through Garth.
Silvia and Ur, the two strongest fighters of the Golden Church, planned to capture him together with Erwin, and only sent Gas to guard the queen. This was a good plan.
If the Blood Apostle comes to fulfill the deal, they can do their best to capture the Blood Apostle.
If the Blood Apostle's deal was a scam, it was a diversion to lure the enemy away from their mountain hideout, and they were planning to go to the Golden Cathedral to snatch someone away, but the queen had already been transferred.
It can be said that Sylvia was very thoughtful and anticipated that the Blood Apostle might be deceiving them.
Li Er smiled. Sylvia was very powerful, but he had a cheat! Let's learn about remote monitoring and perspective.
He pondered for a while and made a plan in his mind.
Since Sylvia intended to deceive him, he would play along. The Blood Apostle would go to the appointment, and his real body would rescue the queen.
Sylvia thought he had attracted the Blood Apostle, but it was just an incarnation of Lear.
