Chapter 279: Chess Piece of the Night



There was a hint of doubt in Eros' eyes. What did Father Arigato want him to do?

My communication with him was limited to arranging some work for Jessica.

Although he was puzzled, Eros nodded and said, "Okay, Captain, I will go to the Jordon Cathedral later."

Seeing that everything had been ordered, Captain Red looked around at everyone in the office:

"Then everyone should get ready now, because we will have to rush to the East District in advance."

After everyone agreed, Captain Red seemed to have remembered something and shouted to Eros who was about to leave the office:

"Since Conan has to go to the Jordon Cathedral later, why not let Conan go to the underground storage room of the cathedral to apply for the Sealed Artifact."

"Wait a moment, I'll write you an application now!"

Captain Red picked up the fountain pen beside him and began to write on the white paper in front of him.

After writing, he took out a seal from his body and stamped it on the paper.

After doing this, Captain Red handed the note in his hand to Eros and said with a smile:

"Just give the note to the assistant guarding the door of the detention room. They will understand what I mean."

Eros took the note and took a look. There was only one line of words on it:

"Request for Level 3 Sealed Artifact 3-0042 Eye of Insight."

Looking at the name of this sealed object, Eros roughly knew what Captain Red wanted to use it for.

Is this to prevent the cultists from escaping by disguising themselves? Captain Red is indeed a warlock with decades of experience, and he is indeed cautious enough.

After putting the note away, Eros nodded to Captain Red and said:

"I'll bring the seal!"

Captain Red smiled and said, "Go!"

Eros walked out of the gate without stopping. When he arrived outside the Jordan Cathedral, he saw Father Aligado standing at the door waiting.

Father Aligado obviously saw Eros as well, so he immediately came forward and said with a smile:

"Mr. Conan! Archbishop Dino is looking for you!"

There was a hint of realization in Eros' eyes. He was afraid that the archbishop of Johnton Cathedral wanted to see him for something.

But he couldn't attract too much attention, so as not to expose his true identity.

That's why the archbishop called him to the church through Father Aligato.

After learning this, Eros nodded and said politely:

"Then please ask the priest to take me to see His Excellency Archbishop Dino!"

Father Aligado smiled and nodded, "Mr. Conan, please follow me!"

While leading the way, Father Arigato fell into deep thought.

He also didn't quite understand why Archbishop Dino suddenly wanted to meet an ordinary member of the Night Watch.

But since the archbishop has given the order, he will definitely carry it out seriously.

After walking for about a few minutes, Father Aligado took Eros through the church in front and came to the office area in the back.

He walked to the door of an office, knocked on it, and said respectfully:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Mr. Conan has arrived!"

As these words were spoken, a steady and powerful voice came from the room the next second:

"Please let him in!"

Father Arigato responded, then opened the door of his office and gestured to Eros to come in.

Eros walked in, and when Father Arigato saw Eros enter, he closed the door and began to stand at the door.

The moment the door closed, a spiritual wall rose up and enveloped the entire room.

The next second, Archbishop Dino stood up from his office chair and walked towards Eros:

"Your Highness! Please forgive my presumptuous behavior. I should have come to see you in person, but in order to prevent your identity from being revealed, I had no choice but to do this."

Eros waved his hand and said naturally, "It's okay."

Archbishop Dino breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Eros say it was okay, and a smile returned to his face.

"What's the matter with you calling me here?"

Eros asked in a puzzled tone as he sat down on an office chair nearby.

Archbishop Dino stood aside and said hesitantly:

"Have you heard about the incident at the Scarlet Cult stronghold, Your Highness?"

Eros nodded, "I just heard that from my captain."

Seeing that Eros had heard it, Archbishop Dino said quickly:

"What does your Highness think about this matter?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Eros' face. Seeing this, Archbishop Dino told him the whole story, including how they got the news.

After listening to this, Eros frowned and fell into thought. After a while, he spoke:

"Didn't you send anyone to confirm whether the news was true?"

Archbishop Dino shook his head and explained, "If the news is true, it means there really is a divine messenger from the Scarlet Cult there."

"And to be called a divine messenger, his strength must be at least Sequence 4."

"So if we send someone over to confirm, it will easily alert their envoy and cause them to evacuate early."

Seeing Eros was a little surprised, Archbishop Dino smiled bitterly and explained:

"The Scarlet Cult's Sequence 4 is called a blood monster. They have the ability to sense the power of blood over a large area."

"The blood power of a warlock is obviously stronger than that of an ordinary person, so as long as you enter his perception range, he will detect you."

"Even if I go there in person, there's a certain chance that he'll find me."
