Simon had covered for someone in the concert hall last night. Although the process was tense and exciting, fortunately, he was safe and sound. After that, he was thanked by Rob, who gave him a set of methods to train his perception. However, the next patriarch of the Grady Family couldn't help but be more curious about what Rob had done during those three hours. He even hid it from Genie and Genie.
Perhaps even Simon himself didn't expect that he would get the answer to his doubts so quickly.
Early the next morning, the entire Gudilesi City was in an uproar. The number one figure of the shrine in the south, Morteris, one of the 19 archbishops, was kidnapped in the mansion of Earl Nathan, the most powerful man in the entire university town. The kidnappers killed the old bishop's guards in public and took Morteris away. Before they left, they even set fire to the earl's mansion. Although the fire didn't cause any casualties, the impact was undoubtedly extremely bad.
And the most unbelievable part of this news was yet to come. It was said that there were only two people who attacked that night, and they were both Spellcasters. It was these two Spellcasters who appeared out of nowhere who suppressed the experts around Morteris and the guards in the Earl's Mansion with their extremely ferocious firepower. According to the description of some of the guests who attended the banquet that night, the two Spellcasters were like gods who descended from the heavens, and no one could stop them. From killing and breaking the spell formation to capturing the people, it only took a total of less than five minutes for the two Spellcasters to escape. After that, the people who were still in shock were left trembling on the ground.
It was said that President D 'Addarion, who attended the banquet in the earl's mansion that night, strongly condemned this violent behavior on behalf of the Gudilesi branch of the Magic Association and righteously said that the Magic Association would definitely investigate this matter and actively rescue the kidnapped old bishop.
Not long after, the city council also received a letter from Earl Nathan, who was on vacation. The old man was now on his way back to Gudilesi City. Even through the letter, the councilors could feel the old earl's anger from between the lines. It was not difficult to understand. After all, no one would feel good when their house was burned down, not to mention that an archbishop of the shrine had been lost at the banquet. Earl Nathan had enough reason to be angry at the administrators in Gudilesi City.
The Guard Station had already taken action that night. Everyone, including those who were on vacation, was woken up from their beds and began to search the entire city for the two mages involved in the incident with portraits in their hands. When the Guard Station heard about what happened at the banquet in the earl's mansion not long ago, they could not help but feel weak at the knees. When Thomas received the order, he could only smile bitterly. After all, his subordinates were just ordinary people who had received training. Most of them were not even professionals. In terms of strength, they could not compare with the guards in the earl's mansion. They could handle some ordinary cases, but if they really encountered a master like the one tonight, they would simply be courting death. Generally speaking, they would report such matters directly to the council, and the special investigation team would take over.
However, this time, Morteris was attacked and kidnapped in the earl's mansion. The vile nature of the incident shocked the whole city. Coupled with the fact that the city had been criticized for having a security problem for some time, the council was obviously anxious this time, and could not wait to grasp at any straw to clutch at. Hence, they also issued a strict order to the Guard Station, and even those in charge of civil affairs had to join the search.
This kind of unreasonable order naturally caused a lot of complaints, but it could not be helped. Most people had to rely on this salary to support their families. Hence, despite the complaints, they still picked up their weapons and began to search the city cautiously. However, this time, everyone prayed in their hearts that they would not run into the culprit.
In addition, the city council also held an emergency meeting immediately after the incident. After the meeting, they immediately blocked the dock and the city gate, and announced that the whole city would enter a state of Level Two alert. All ships were only allowed to enter, but not leave, in order to prevent the two criminals from escaping with the old archbishop.
However, this method was actually useless. Judging from the situation of the battle that night, the other party was an out-and-out high-level mage. If such a high-level mage really wanted to leave Gudilesi, there were too many ways for him to choose.
Fortunately, President D 'Addario kept his promise and actively participated in the subsequent rescue work. Not only did he announce the location of several medium and long-distance teleportation arrays in the city, so that the Guard Station could send people to keep an eye on them, but he also activated the giant wave detector that had just been developed on the top floor and could detect magical waves. Once there was a strong magical wave in the city, the Magic Association would immediately know the exact location of the wave.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Shrine, which was supposed to be the most shocked in this incident, was the calmest. The current person in charge of the Church in Gudilesi City was Bishop Wenger, who was also the person who destroyed the insects and rescued the students trapped in the giant white eggs. He was younger than Morteris, only in his forties. He looked very elegant and more like a scholar.
He was also one of the few high-ranking officials in the Shrine who clearly opposed Morteris. Because he was close to Morteris and was also in the south, he had heard more about what Morteris did. In fact, the two had completely broken up more than three years ago. Wenger was just a bishop, but his background was also not simple. Although Morteris was his nominal leader, there was no way to remove him from his position for no reason. However, the conflict between the two was no longer a secret in the Church.
This time, when the old bishop came to Gudilesi City to attend the banquet, he did not go to the church in the city at all. Instead, he went directly to Earl Nathan's mansion to rest. From this, it could be seen how bad the relationship between him and Wenger was.
However, Morteris was, after all, the archbishop of the Church. Even if there were many conflicts between him and Wenger, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent when the former was kidnapped. In fact, after Wenger received the news, he immediately wrote a letter to the Third Holy Knight Regiment in the south, asking for armed support. After that, he planned to go to the Saint Roland Academy of Magic to pay a visit to Mage Absus. After all, Gudilesi City was the territory of mages, and the person who kidnapped them was an expert among mages. If Absus was willing to help, he would definitely be able to find out something from the battle that night. However, not long after this letter was sent, he received a letter from the Pope, indicating that there would be specialized people in the south to take over the matter, and he just needed to act as usual.
