Chapter 422 The Scapegoat
Although Fiona's disappearance is worrying, some things cannot be solved in a hurry.
While the family guardian immediately set out with a ninth-rank warrior to look for someone, Duke Carrot revealed his whereabouts in public to paralyze other possible enemies in the empire.
This "enemy" does not refer to the mastermind who took Fiona away, but the other high-ranking officials of the empire who are waiting for an opportunity to find Fiona in advance and study her body.
Several ninth-order warriors unanimously agreed that the most likely reason for Fiona's disappearance was an enemy attack.
The one who is most likely to have taken action at the moment is the Door in the Eye.
Although the previous raid by the True Knowledge Society had basically crippled the enemy, the centipede was still alive and well. As a force with many ninth-level warriors, even if it was severely weakened, it should not be underestimated.
Therefore, in order to ensure their own safety, the two ninth-level warriors who went to look for someone brought with them several ninth-level peak magical artifacts and a limit-breaking spell scroll.
After being teleported to the possible landing point of the space ripples, two ninth-level people appeared in a valley in the Kingdom of Nice.
The transmission could only be accurate to this range, so with this as the center, the two ninth-level warriors immediately began a large-scale search.
Half a day later, no clues related to Fiona's whereabouts were found, but the two accidentally found a secret base of the Door in the Pupil.
The two men, who were already angry, immediately took action, turned the base upside down, captured all the people inside, and searched their memories directly.
It was originally just a casual act, but it unexpectedly allowed them to discover some information.
According to the memories of the highest-ranking member of the Gate of the Eye in this base, he did not seem to be the person in charge of this base before, but a senior researcher in another secret base of a higher level.
Most importantly, Fiona's figure appeared in his memory! A man in a black robe led her through the corridor of the base filled with a faint gray mist, sank into the depths, and passed by the researcher.
Seeing this scene, the two ninth-level masters were extremely angry.
It was one thing to have heard the news before, but it was another to see the actual scene.
If it weren't for the fact that Fiona and Avis' life crystal balls were all in normal condition, they would hardly be able to resist killing these people.
However, through his memory, the two also knew that the base had been destroyed by an attack from the resistance organization [Circle of Truth], and the controller of the base was missing.
And, based on the time calculation, that should have happened after Fiona was taken away for the first time.
But if you can do it once, you will definitely do it a second time.
This time, maybe after taking Fiona away last time, he discovered something unusual and realized that the person he took away was not the real target, so he caused the current incident again!
Thinking of this, the two ninth-level warriors immediately made up their minds. After sending back the detected information, they continued to search for Fiona, and also began to look for other bases of the Door in the Eye.
Of course, this is not easy. The previous operation of the Zhenzhi Society has already wiped out most of them, and the remaining ones are the most hidden ones.
At this time, the leader of the Door in the Eye was also very annoyed.
Fiona has clearly been destroyed by the attack from the Ring of Truth, why are you guys still holding on to her like mad dogs?
However, based on the Empire's relentless attitude, the leader gradually realized that Fiona was not dead, but had been replaced and taken away by the other side in some way before the attack.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Gray Mist saw the other party's body being annihilated with his own eyes.
As for whether Gray Mist said this on purpose and secretly hid Fiona, the leader had also thought about it.
But this possibility is very low, because Gray Mist has sworn in the name of the Web of Destiny, proving that Fiona is not in his hands.
At the same time, 'Xing' also saw the original scene.
In other words, the people from the Circle of Truth took Fiona away, but left the blame on them.
Thinking of this, the leader felt extremely disgusted and wished he could cut the other party into pieces and roast his soul in the undead flames forever.
However, although he was resentful, he could only spread the news that the people from the Circle of Truth had taken Fiona away, and at the same time asked the members of the organization to hide as much as possible to ensure their own safety.
But the people of the Empire did not buy into this news. Instead, they believed that the Door in the Pupil was the cause of the disaster.
Because of the commotion Anvis made when he left that night, many people knew that the Ring of Truth attacked the base of the Gate of the Eye.
As a result, the actions against the Door in the Pupil not only did not subside, but became more intense, making the leader furious.
At the same time, due to the assassination of several members of parliament, the top forces of the Federal Parliament also began to operate and began to investigate the identities of these "assassins".
There were only so many ninth-order warriors on the continent, and the parliament quickly discovered their true identities. It began to question whether the Gloria Empire wanted to go to all-out war, and demanded that the murderers be severely punished.
At this time, the representative of the True Knowledge Society stood up and claimed that this was a personal vendetta between the two civil organizations, the True Knowledge Society and the Door to the Hitomi, and that all actions were only aimed at the members of the Door to the Hitomi.
He also produced evidence of the secret attack on the empire by the Door in the Eye, as well as evidence that those congressmen were members of the Door in the Eye.
Some people are skeptical about this, while others don't buy it.
Some members of the Gate of the Eyes are federal councillors, and aren't there many members of your True Knowledge Society who are imperial nobles? But the key point is that if they really go to war with the empire over this matter, most councillors are unwilling to do so.
In the end, the two sides agreed that the True Knowledge Society's attacks on the Federation must be stopped immediately. If there is another attack on federal lawmakers, it will be regarded as the Empire's formal declaration of war on the Federation.
When the Federation was in chaos, Duke Carrot temporarily dealt with the Empire's affairs. After comforting his wife, he prepared to leave for the Federation to find his child himself.
But before the Duke set off, a small accident occurred. Someone sent a letter to Anvis.
If it were an ordinary person, Duke Carrot could have ignored it.
But the writer of this letter is Vernika, [Ring of Time and Space], one of the three presidents of the Continental Magic Council.
The other party hoped that Anvis could cancel the follower contract of one of her students.
Although he was mentally prepared because of the message left by Anvis, the Duke still took a breath and felt a little envious when he received the letter.
Is prophecy magic really that useful? Why don't I have the talent of a prophet? After checking the items left by Avis, the Duke opened one of the time-space constant boxes according to Avis's arrangement, sent the letter back, and crushed a crystal stone placed next to the letter.
Then, in Silvermoon City, a crystal pendant that Avis wore on his chest suddenly shattered.
"Hmm? Teacher Vio, what's wrong? Ugh! Ahem—"
Noticing this sudden scene, Leah, who was processing a dragon's breath grass under the guidance of Avis, was startled and her mental power became disordered.
Then, a ball of fire and thick smoke suddenly emerged from the dark red herb in her hand, smoked the girl's entire face black and made her cough.
"During the alchemy process, remember not to be distracted and do your own thing."
After tapping the girl's head lightly, Avis glanced at the broken pendant and made a gesture.
Then, a contract emerged from mid-air and then burned up in black flames.
Thank you for your rewards and monthly tickets——
The National Day holiday is over, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
