The other four Mages of Faith immediately approached them. However, they were at the foot of Parthenon Mountain, so there were many Mages guarding the place. When the Mages saw a Priest confronting two strangers, another group of Mages immediately surrounded them.
The foot of Parthenon Mountain was heavily guarded. Mofan and Mu Ningxue were completely surrounded by the Parthenon guards!
Mofan had the urge to chop the Priest into pieces. How could someone be so reckless? Mofan would normally go straight to the Mountain of the Goddess, and only the knights on the path to the Star of the Goddess could recognize him. How could the Mages and guards of the Hall of Faith at the foot of the mountain possibly recognize him? The others would obviously listen to the Priest of the Hall of Faith!
"Surrender, or we'll kill you on the spot!" Bude said coldly.
"Surrender my ass, don't you dare touch me!" Mofan snapped furiously.
"Mofan, calm down," Mu Ningxue pulled Mofan back.
If they were to get into a conflict with a Priest of the Parthenon Mountain, it would surely attract more guards of the Parthenon Mountain. The guards could only lend the Priest a hand …
"Brianca is still chasing after those two. She might need our help at any time. We can't stay here for too long," Mofan said.
He was planning to treat his injuries here and regroup with Brianca and the others. To his surprise, he had stumbled into something so ridiculous all of a sudden.
"Can't you tell? He's doing it on purpose," Mu Ningxue said softly.
"On purpose?" Mofan was startled.
She was right, if the guy was really chasing after them from Mount Lanmu, he could easily find out who the culprit was by simply asking the people at the scene. Why would the guy insist that he was the culprit, and even accuse him of trespassing on the Mountain of the Goddess? He was obviously trying to pick a fight with him!
"It seems like the person we are looking for has a formidable background," Mu Ningxue said softly.
Mofan frowned too. The Priest had suddenly accused him of something. He might not be able to do anything to Mofan once they found out the truth, but it would seriously delay their investigation. It was very likely that the person who had contacted Bartholomew was behind it. He was trying to stop Mofan and Mu Ningxue from investigating further!
Luckily, they had purposely asked Brianca to keep an eye on them. Otherwise, not only would Bartholomew had escaped, they would have lost their trail too!
"You're still injured. There's no point in getting into a conflict. Let's just compromise for now. They won't dare to do anything to us," Mu Ningxue said.
"Alright," Mofan nodded.
The two gave up on resisting. They also revealed their identities as participants of the World College Tournament. Since there were so many people at the scene, it went without saying that some of them had taken part in the World College Tournament. A few of the guards were confident that Mofan and Mu Ningxue were not suspicious.
Bude did not expect the two to be so influential, but he still said righteously, "Witnesses have confirmed that they used a destructive spell on Mount Lanmu. They are suspected of killing young man Barbaro and stealing the Verdun Flower of Dusk, so we still have to take them away for investigation."
"We will help with the investigation, but we can swear with our souls that we are not responsible for what happened on Mount Lanmu. We hope the Priest will investigate Mount Lanmu as soon as possible. Don't waste your time on us, just in case the culprit escapes," Mu Ningxue said.
"They are both Honorary Mages of the school. There's no way they would do something like that. Master Priest, we need evidence … it's going to be troublesome if we catch the wrong person," a young guard spoke up for Mofan and Mu Ningxue.
"I … I have evidence. Let's take them away first!" Bude clenched his teeth. He could not care less anymore.
"Alright, remember what you said! I don't know what kind of benefits you've received from that person, but I'll make you pay ten times the price! "Mo Fan snarled at Bude.
Mofan could tell that Bude was trying to stir up trouble. The person behind him must have a formidable background. That was why Bude was so determined to pick on Mofan and Mu Ningxue!
…
The two did not put up any meaningless resistance. They followed the Priest and the Mage of Faith to the Hall of Faith. The Hall of Faith had its own interrogation room. There was no way Bude would let them have an easy time.
"Send a Healer here to treat his wounds," Mu Ningxue said.
"Every Healer in the Parthenon School is very busy. How could they come here whenever they want? This isn't a hospital!" a Mage of Faith snapped.
"Matasha, don't waste your time with them. Just leave them here," Bude said.
As long as he could restrict the freedom of these two, Priest Bude didn't intend to do anything excessive. Bude also knew that they might not have been responsible for the incident at Mount Lanmu, but since it was a request from that person, even if he had to pay the price of acting rashly, he had to do it properly. He believed the favor would give him a chance to be promoted to the Great Priest during the next Priest Ceremony!
The Great Priest … it was the position he had been dreaming of for ten years!
"His injuries are serious. His life might be in danger if they aren't treated in time. Even a prisoner has the right to be treated, not to mention that we are only assisting you with your investigation … "Mu Ningxue frowned and emphasized.
"Alright, I'll find a Healer for you," the Mage of Faith called Matasha said.
With that, she turned around and left.
Bude let out a hollow laugh and left the place.
The right? Of course they had the right to be treated. The problem was, it was hard to say when they would find the Healer!
…
Mu Ningxue could tell that they were purposely making things difficult for her from their expressions. She glanced at Mofan, whose face was turning pale.
The power of the Demon Judgment Sword was still as terrifying as before. The burns from the light were getting worse. If Mo Fan was treated immediately, he would be able to recover in a short period of time, but it would only worsen the situation if he kept wasting time.
"I'm fine, can you treat my wounds with some medicine?" Mofan still had some sacred herbs in his space bracelet that could prevent the burns from spreading further.
"The medicine won't be able to help you recover. After all, the wounds were inflicted by a Super Spell," Mu Ningxue said.
"I didn't expect the culprit to be able to order a Priest around. I wonder who's behind this," Mofan murmured.
Mu Ningxue was treating Mofan's wounds when they heard footsteps approaching. It sounded like a pair of boots.
The person was obviously passing by the interrogation room. He happened to see Mofan and Mu Ningxue trapped inside the room. He blurted out in surprise.
"Why are you here!?" A young knight in a Blue Star outfit stopped in his tracks and looked at Mofan in astonishment.
Mofan was overjoyed. It turned out to be the dull-witted Blue Star Knight he met on the west side of the city.
Blue Star Knights were allowed to enter the Mountain of the Goddess freely. Mofan had been detained by the people of the Hall of Faith. He was trying to find a way to contact the people of the Mountain of the Goddess. He did not expect to stumble into the dull-witted Blue Star Knight here.
"Brother, can you do me a favor and send a message to the Hall of the Goddess?" Mofan blurted out.
"The Saintess has just returned from England. I'm only a Blue Star Knight. I'm afraid it's a little rude for me to go there …" the dull-witted Blue Star Knight said.
"Xinxia is back?" Mofan was overjoyed. He said to the dull-witted Blue Star Knight, "Can you make a call for me? I'll tell you the number."
