Chapter 390 The Holy Lady of Light killed the gods and ascended to the throne!
Si Yuan only told the Cardinal that Abel was colluding with the Dark Church, but did not tell him how Abel was colluding with the Dark Church.
So when Avian revealed that she was a dark magician, he thought that Avian was the only member of the Dark Church, and Abel was seduced by the member of the Dark Church because of her beauty, so the two sides colluded.
After all, who would have the time to collude with the Dark Church, a rat in the gutter that has been suppressed by the Light Church and can only act in secret?
Even if there is some connection or collusion with the Dark Church, there is still the fear that the Church of Light will find out one day and then the whole family will be destroyed.
After all, on this continent, the Church of Light, which has the God of Light as its backer, is the continent's number one force. Even the strongest empires on the continent have to bow to the Church of Light, and even the king of the empire needs to ask the Pope of the Church of Light to crown him if he wants to ascend the throne.
Although there is formalism in it, the strength of the Church of Light is not enough to suppress all empires, and the Church of Light cannot summon the God of Light to the earth at any time. It still has to give those powerful empires some face, such as allowing the empire to choose its own king and then notify the Church of Light to let the Pope come forward to crown him.
But the title of divine right of kings is very important. In name, the Church of Light suppresses the major empires, and the strongest force on the continent is the Church of Light.
No one dares to openly resist the Church of Light, which is ruled by the God of Light.
Therefore, the Cardinal of the Church of Light could not understand Abel's collusion with the Church of Darkness.
In the past, nobles who colluded with members of the Dark Church were also caught, but those nobles were deceived by members of the Dark Church who changed their identities.
Now that the Cardinal was facing Abel, he couldn't help but ask him if he had been deceived by Avian, a member of the Dark Church?
Of course Abel nodded quickly and said yes. He was deceived. He had never colluded with the Dark Church. He and his son Caesar were both innocent.
Abel still wanted to try his best to save his son Caesar's life.
The cardinal had not originally thought of Caesar's child, but after being reminded by Abel, he remembered and decided to see the child.
This was a remarkable sight, as it immediately revealed Caesar's dark holy body qualifications.
After all, he is a cardinal from the Church of Light, a ninth-level peak light magician. In addition to being good at observing light attribute qualifications, he is also good at observing dark attribute qualifications.
He was the one who saw through Olive's Holy Body of Light before.
Unexpectedly, this time he actually saw another child of the Dark Saint Body.
The cardinal had mixed feelings. Was he the chosen one? Just collect the Holy Body of Light and the Holy Body of Darkness so easily?
But once he noticed Caesar's dark holy body talent, the cardinal realized that Caesar's identity was extraordinary.
The Dark Host is as important to the Dark Church as the Light Host is to the Light Church.
The Holy Body not only has 100% affinity with elemental attributes, fast cultivation speed, and great strength, but it can also break through the barriers between the human world and the divine world to communicate with the gods, and can even serve as a carrier for the gods to send their power to the human world.
In other words, after Olive became the Holy Maiden of Light, her strength increased and she could contact the God of Light at any time. If necessary, she could even ask the God of Light to bestow some of his power upon her to fight against the enemy.
In this way, the Church of Light does not need to trouble the God of Light to come down to earth in person, and can still have the power to make the final decision.
After all, even if the God of Light can only send down a part of his divine power, it is still an extraordinary power that cannot be resisted by the great magicians in the world.
Caesar, who possesses the Dark Holy Body, also has a 100% affinity with dark elements. He can contact the Dark God at any time and, if necessary, ask the Dark God to bestow some of his power upon him to fight against the enemy.
Even if the Dark God is sealed, the God of Light is in the God Realm, which is separated from the human world by a more powerful space barrier, and can still send down his power to the Holy Body of Light. The Dark God is only sealed on the other side of the continent, also in the human world. The barrier of the seal is not as strong as the space barrier between the human world and the God Realm, so it is easier for the Dark God to send down his power.
Of course, this kind of power is limited to the dark holy body that can carry divine power.
The cardinal, who knew well what the Dark Body meant, would certainly not let Caesar go again.
With a serious expression, he performed a blood test on Caesar and Abel. After confirming that Caesar was actually Abel's biological son, the cardinal immediately threw away his previous speculation and directly convicted Abel: "Abel Anderson must have colluded with the Dark Church!"
The cardinal was extremely confident.
After all, it was impossible for Avian not to know how important a son who was a Dark Saint was to the Dark Church. She even raised the child with Abel. So there was only one possibility - Abel had already defected to the Dark Church and was trustworthy in the eyes of the Dark Church.
The cardinal immediately sealed and imprisoned Abel and Avian, and Caesar, a child of the Dark Saint who was only a few years old, was sealed and imprisoned alone.
Thinking of the incomparable Holy Body of Light and Holy Body of Darkness, one is Abbot's daughter and the other is Abbot's nephew, the cardinal could not help but suspect Duke Abbot who was far away in the capital of Camor.
But thinking that the capture of the Dark Saint today was all thanks to Abbott's report, and that Abbott's biological daughter Olive was the Light Saint, the cardinal's suspicions gradually faded.
However, the trouble was so serious that the cardinal did not dare to do it alone, so he immediately contacted the Pope of the Church of Light.
After hearing the cardinal's report via remote communication, the Pope of Light was shocked. The Dark Holy Body had also been born?
The Pope of Light immediately gave the order: "I will send someone to pick you up."
The Pope of Light immediately sent the Inquisition to pick up the Cardinal and others.
There are not many great wizards in the Church of Light, but the leader of the Inquisition is one of them. Moreover, he is a master of both magic and martial arts, with both his magic and fighting spirit reaching the level of a great wizard. His combat power is terrifying, and he is a deterrent trump card that the Church of Light uses to the outside world.
Letting a great mage-level strongman lead the team to pick up the cardinal and others shows how much the Pope of Light values the capture of the Dark Saint.
The cardinal is also aware of the seriousness of the incident and is rushing to the headquarters of the Church of Light, hoping to meet up with the Inquisition as soon as possible.
The Church of Light acted quickly, but was not as fast as the Church of Darkness that had already taken root in the Anderson family's territory.
Moreover, one is to catch people, and the other is to save people. Of course, the one who wants to save people is more urgent.
The Pope of the Dark Church personally raided the team where the Cardinal was escorting Abel, Avian and Caesar. It was a raid by a dark grand mage. Even though the Cardinal was already a ninth-level peak magician and was only one step away from breaking through to become a grand mage, this step was a world away and an uncrossable chasm.
The cardinal was blown away after barely managing to cope with the situation, and his men suffered heavy casualties. If the Dark Pope had not been primarily concerned with saving people, I'm afraid none of these people would have survived.
Avian was pleasantly surprised: "It's the Pope who came to save us!"
Abel was disheartened and thought that he and Caesar and his son were all dead, but he did not expect that there would be a sudden turn of events and the Pope of the Dark Church came in person to rescue them.
He had heard from Avian before that the Dark Pope was a dark grand mage, and there would be no problem for him to rescue them.
Sure enough, a black tornado swept in and swept the three of them away and disappeared.
After the cardinal woke up from his fainting, he found the bodies of his men lying all around him, and the carriage that held Abel and the other two had completely disappeared.
The cardinal's face turned pale instantly. He knew that things had reached the worst point. The Dark Holy Body was rescued by the Dark Church.
He regretted very much that he had not killed the Dark Saint earlier, and actually gave the Dark Church a chance to rescue him.
When the head of the Inquisition arrived with his team, the cardinal was trying his best to save his subordinates.
As a ninth-level peak light magician, he was very good at healing. Those of his subordinates who didn't die immediately were pulled back from the brink of life and death by him.
Seeing the Heretic Inquisition coming, the Cardinal stepped forward helplessly and said, "You are too late, Captain Karl. The target has been rescued by the Dark Church. The one who did it is a Dark Grand Mage. I am no match for him."
When Carl, the head of the Inquisition, heard the news, his expression was unclear under the visor of his helmet, but his anger and disgust could be heard from his furious voice: "Damn the dark heretics! How dare they attack the Church of Light? Damn you!"
Facing Captain Karl's anger, the Cardinal did not dare to interrupt him. Although the Cardinal's status within the Church of Light was not lower than that of the head of the Inquisition, he was just a mere ninth-level magician. How could he compare with Captain Karl, who was at the level of a grand mage? When his strength was inferior to that of the other, his status would be lower even if they held the same position.
After making a few angry remarks, Captain Karl directly asked the cardinal, "What is the identity of the heretic who was rescued?"
The cardinal answered honestly about the identities of Abel, Avian and Caesar, especially Abel's identity. He also specifically mentioned that Abbot, the newly promoted great mage, was Abel's younger brother.
He signaled to Captain Carl not to kill all of Abel's family for the sake of Duke Abbott.
After all, the reason why Captain Karl was able to become the leader of the Inquisition was not only because of his absolutely powerful strength, but also because of his extreme belief in judging heretics.
To put it bluntly, Captain Carl is a little stubborn, and the cardinal is very worried that he will directly wipe out the Anderson family.
This is not a matter of destiny. Behind the Anderson family is the great magician Abbott Anderson, who cannot be destroyed casually.
But what the Cardinal did not expect was that, although he did hint, Captain Carl did not understand his hint and misunderstood it, thinking that he was telling him that the Anderson family was backed by a great magician, and he wanted to kill the great magician who backed the family as well.
The cardinal's hint was in vain. Captain Karl recklessly led his knights and rushed towards the Anderson family's territory based on the information given by the cardinal.
After arriving at the Anderson family's territory, Captain Carl arrested all the people with the last name of Anderson without saying a word and detained them in the dungeon for interrogation.
Abel's wife and two legitimate children, who were already imprisoned in the Earl's Mansion and not allowed to go out because of Abel's involvement, were once again implicated by Abel and thrown into the dungeon.
Originally, the mother and her two children would have been kept under house arrest in the Earl's Mansion because the Cardinal had done something for Abbott's sake. However, Captain Carl was planning to personally deal with the great mage behind the Anderson family. How could he let the mother and her two children go just for the sake of giving face?
Naturally, everything was wiped out.
Of course Captain Carl could not get any information out of the Anderson family members when they were interrogated, because they really knew nothing. They didn't even know that Caesar had a dark talent, let alone anything else.
Captain Carl didn't think that they really knew nothing. After all, they were all Abel's blood relatives, and torture would always reveal something.
When he even used truth-telling magic but failed to pry out much information, Captain Carl had to admit that these Anderson family members might not really be trusted by Abel, and had no idea how Abel colluded with the Dark Church.
Even Abel's wife and two legitimate children were still very brave in targeting Avian and Caesar, thinking that they were just ordinary people.
During the interrogation, Abel's wife and two legitimate children learned that they had fallen into this state because their good father Abel had colluded with the Dark Church and even had children with members of the Dark Church. They immediately hated Abel with gnashing teeth.
No wonder Abel doted on Caesar so much, and no wonder Abel so easily agreed to make his eldest son the heir. It turns out that the Dark Church is standing behind Caesar!
Captain Carl still kept the Anderson family members who were bruised and battered during the interrogation in the dungeon. It was not because he did not want to kill them, but he wanted to see if Abel would come back with members of the Dark Church to rescue them. He wanted to use these people as bait.
As for himself, he took the members of the Inquisition to the imperial capital of the Camor Empire.
Because the great mage of the Anderson family, Duke Abbot Anderson, who he was reminded by the cardinal, lived in the imperial capital.
Captain Carl went to find Duke Abbott in order to obtain the authority to arrest and try Abel and the other two, as well as to defeat Duke Abbott and prove that he had the strength and power to kill Duke Abbott's brother and nephew.
Si Yuan, who was studying dragon language magic with the dragon maid and had made new progress, was in seclusion and did not allow anyone to disturb him: “…” There was no need to ask him for proof.
After Captain Carl entered the Imperial City with great force and was detected by the magic circle, the top leaders of the entire Camor Empire received the news and became uneasy.
Is the Church of Light looking for an excuse to attack the Kamor Empire?
No one dared to stop Captain Karl and the members of the Inquisition. They just watched Captain Karl arrive at the gate of the Duke's Palace unimpeded.
The top leaders of the Camor Empire finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they were looking for Duke Abbot.
