The main reason why the president of the Magic Association kidnapped the archbishop of the temple was to use Morteris to lure out the group of rats from the Court of Heresy, who had been hiding in the gutter, and finally capture a disciplinary knight.
Now that this goal had been achieved, there was not much use in keeping Morteris alive. The simplest way to deal with it was naturally to kill the old man directly. However, Morteris was one of the 17 archbishops of the church, after all. If he were to be killed, there would be too much trouble in the future, and it might even cause a conflict between the Magic Association and the church. Even D 'Achilles was not willing to bear this kind of responsibility casually, so the best way was to let him go.
However, it was also a matter of technique to let the old archbishop go. If they let the old archbishop go for no reason, the temple would soon guess that the two of them had other intentions. D 'Achilles and Rob had discussed this a long time ago.
Once they succeeded tonight, the president of the Magic Association would imprison the captured captive until the antidote was successfully developed. He would need the captive's blood to alleviate the holy poison in Lilith's body. It was expected that it would take a long time, and it was even possible that the antidote would not be developed in the end.
After all, this poison was used by the Court of Heresy to control those horrible monsters that should not exist in this world. Some of these monsters, like the Sins of Shadow, had super toxic antibodies, and ordinary poisons had no effect on them at all. However, after hundreds of years, they still could not get rid of the control of the Court of Heresy. This showed how overbearing this poison was.
D 'Achilles was not sure that he could completely remove the poison in Lilith's blood. If he did not do it well, he might even have to imprison this guy on the ground until he died. This required a safe place where no one would disturb him.
The inner world was currently the safest place in the entire Gudilesi City, but it did not belong to him alone. Usually, there would be other people coming in and out of it. It was not a problem for Morteris to temporarily hide there for a week or two, but it was certainly not possible for him to stay there forever. The other manager of the inner world, Immaculate Flower, had already warned him before. Although D 'Achilles did not care about the threat of the female boss, the inner world was originally a place similar to an ideal place created by him. D' Achilles did not want these messy things in the real world to affect the inner world, so he could only find another place.
Naturally, the new place he found would not be as safe as the inner world, so he had to try his best not to arouse the suspicion of the temple. At least, he could not let the temple see the purpose of their kidnapping. In addition to getting rid of all the other people who participated in the operation that night, the most important thing was to ensure that the process of releasing Morteris was natural.
Rob threw the sachet on his waist back to D 'Achilles.
D 'Achilles caught it, weighed it twice, and curled his lips. "Topthorne vanilla. This hint is obvious enough, right? In the entire Gudilesi City, only the Adeltoi people have this spice. Their brewery is in the south of the city, less than half a magic hour's journey from here. From now on, there is still about an hour left before Morteris drowns in ale. I think there is still plenty of time."
"The premise is that the guy needs to be familiar enough with Gudilesi City and have the courage to go over and take a look." Rob shook his head, but he did not intend to continue this topic. The future Supreme Magister Your Honor did not care about Morteris' life or death at all. He waved his hand at the man and said, "Since this matter has come to an end, I'll leave first. I still have classes tomorrow morning."
"Well, the next date of the poison's attack is very close. I have to rush back to make a batch of 'antidotes' first."
D 'Achilles said as he looked at the unconscious guy on the ground with malicious eyes. His eyes were like a butcher looking at a piece of pork on the chopping board.
Human rights? This kind of thing did not exist in the dictionary of men, not to mention that this matter was caused by the temple first. As long as Lily could survive and no longer be troubled by the poison in her body, the president of the Magic Association would not mind keeping this guy under his feet like a livestock for a hundred years, regularly drawing blood from his body to make an 'antidote'.
When Robb's figure disappeared around the corner of the street, D 'Adrion walked up to the Punishment Paladin named Ian with half a cigarette in his mouth. The president of the Sorcerer's Association squatted down and whispered in the latter's ear, "What are you waiting for? If you want to sneak up on me, now is the best time."
Although the Punishment Paladin on the ground still had his eyes closed, cold sweat had already seeped out of his forehead.
He had just woken up not long ago. The physique of a Punishment Paladin was even more exaggerated than that of a Paladin, who was famous for their defense. From the very beginning, D 'Achilles did not intend to kill him, so his fate was different from his previous companions. He was only affected by the heat wave generated by the terrifying magic that enveloped the entire street. Therefore, he did not pass out for too long.
When he regained consciousness, he found that both D 'Achilles and Rob were beside him. Naturally, he did not dare to make any moves. He could only continue to pretend to be unconscious until Rob left. Originally, he planned to sneak up on D' Achilles when he got close to him, injure him, and then escape. He did not expect that his little plan would be seen through before he could even make a move.
A wave of despair rose in Ian's heart. With the strength of his opponent, he did not think that his sneak attack would succeed. However, he was not sure whether the guy was testing him or if he had really discovered something. Therefore, the Punishment Paladin hesitated for a while and finally chose to maintain the status quo.
After that, he heard the man's voice again. "It's a pity. You just lost your only chance to escape."
The next moment, Ian felt his eyelids suddenly become heavy. He knew that he had been hit by the opponent's mind magic. And because of the magic immunity of the Punishment Paladin, this was a level 6 mind magic. The Punishment Paladin wanted to sneak up on D 'Achilles, but it was too late. Before he could even open his eyes, endless exhaustion emerged from the depths of his heart and swallowed him up.
This time, the Punishment Paladin really passed out. At this time, Ian did not know what kind of tragic fate awaited him in the future.
