At the lively banquet, the surrounding atmosphere was busy.
But in this corner of the banquet, it seemed very quiet.
Adil talked quietly with the priestess in front of him, and slowly learned about the specific situation of the appearance of the Dark Church that day.
According to the priestess in front of him, it was not the intention of the bishops of the Dark Church to stop Gruel from returning to the capital, but it was just the spontaneous action of some of the radical priests inside.
"In the kingdom, the church has been suppressed for too long, so much so that there is a lot of dissatisfaction within the church. Finally, under the temptation of some promises, it led to the occurrence of this action."
Standing in the same place and talking to Adil in a low voice, the priestess named Sylner sighed softly, and turned to look at Cudoni and Gruel in the center of the venue. "It is also because of this that Bishop Cudoni came here in person to take this opportunity to personally apologize to His Highness Gruel and convey the true attitude of the church."
Adil listened to Sylner's words calmly, but he just kept silent, and did not make any comments.
Speaking of which, this banquet was nominally held for Adil, but now it had completely changed.
The meeting between Bishop Cudoni and Prince Gruel was enough to attract the attention of most of the nobles present, and all their attention was drawn to the center of the stage.
As for Adil's side, although there were also many people paying attention to him, and even many noble ladies lifted their skirts and wanted to walk over, after seeing Sylner in front of Adil, they hesitated and stopped, making the area very quiet.
Adil enjoyed this quiet atmosphere very much.
Because of his early experience and the long-term research in the laboratory as a wizard, he preferred quiet occasions. Although a lively situation was not a banquet, he still felt that it was very troublesome.
Sylner in front of him was similar.
Along the way, from time to time, some people came to invite her to participate in the ball, but the priestess maintained a smile from beginning to end, and declined all the invitations. It seemed that she was also a person who did not like crowds.
Just like that, they chatted for a long time. After a while, when the sky turned slightly dark, Adil nodded and said to the priestess, "It's getting late. I'll go back and rest first."
"Alright." The priestess smiled and nodded. "It's been a pleasure chatting with you. I hope we can meet again."
"I hope so." In response to her words, Adil only smiled and waved his hand. His expression became calm again as he walked out.
Sylner watched Adil leave in Silence. Sylner didn't say a word. She just looked at him in Silence, with a calm smile on her face and eyes.
Only when Adil's figure completely disappeared did she move her arm and shake the little girl lying on the side.
"Wake up, he already left."
"I'm so sleepy, big sister Sylner, let me sleep for a while more …"
The little girl shook her head and just lay on the big sofa at the side. Even her mouth was drooling, which made Sylner a little speechless. She couldn't help but continue to shake the little girl until she woke up directly.
Looking at the sleepy little girl rolling on the ground, Sylner covered her mouth and smiled. Then she couldn't help but look at the direction where Adil left.
"What an interesting person …"
… …
"Interesting …"
On the way back, thinking about the conversation with the priestess just now, a smile appeared on Adil's calm face, as if he had discovered something interesting.
That girl was very special, which Adil had discovered when he first met her.
It was not her appearance, nor her temperament or strength, but her transcendent and unique nature, as well as the sense of burden as if she was hiding something.
Just like Adil.
This unique feeling aroused the interest of both of them. That was why they could talk for a long time without any awkwardness.
"No wonder it's the strongest world I've encountered so far … Even though it's not as good as an ordinary world on the surface, it's actually full of terror …"
Walking on the road, Adil couldn't help but think of this again.
This world seemed to be weak on the surface. The strongest person in Tamru Kingdom was only a Gold rank, which was equivalent to a Level-2 Sorcerer.
With this kind of strength, not to mention the Sorcerer World, even the few worlds that Adil had been to before were far stronger.
However, under this weak appearance, this world hid a deep terror.
There was Orff before him, and Sylner behind him. Just the existence of these two people made Adil feel vigilant.
These two people looked ordinary, but in fact, they were extraordinary in nature. Once their terrifying inner strength erupted, they would probably not be inferior to Adil's real body by much.
Orff belonged to the God of Massacre, and Sylner belonged to the God of Darkness. Then, would there be similar monsters in other churches?
Moreover, other than these monsters, there were also the legendary gods who lived high above the clouds, immortal for billions of years, and held their God Kingdom aloft.
"How interesting."
Inexplicably, Adil smiled, then raised his head and looked at the sky.
Above the sky, because the curtain of night had fallen, the whole sky was dim. Only the full moon was very bright, emitting a faint silver light.
The light spread on the earth and shone on Adil's body, as if covering him with a layer of silver frost, making his whole temperament seem more peaceful, profound, and sacred.
After a while, he left this place and walked towards his own residence in the outside world.
The moment he left, inside the manor, Cudoni looked thoughtfully in the direction of Adil, then the next moment, he continued to smile and continued to chat with Gruul in front of him, looking very happy for a moment.
That night, after the banquet ended, in the church of the dim church.
Cudoni's face was old, full of wrinkles, and his aura was full of decay, as if he could die at any time.
But even so, his movements were still very agile, completely different from those ordinary old people. His movements were big and bold, even more intense than some young people jumping up and down.
He changed into a set of robes. The priest's robes were stained with the smell of alcohol, so he had already changed. He walked into the depths of the church and waited in a somewhat dark room.
"How's the observation?" A voice suddenly sounded.
"I don't know." Cudoni shook his head, not surprised by the sudden voice at all. He just shook his head and said doubtfully, "Prince Gruul's potential is thin, and now he is not even a Silver Knight. For his age, it is a bit weak."
"The protagonist on the stage is not necessarily the youngest, and a moment of potential doesn't mean anything …"
"I know." Cudoni nodded, "But this at least proves that the possibility of this Prince Cudoni being the protagonist on the stage is greatly reduced."
"But the Knight Yasuo next to him …"
"What's wrong?" The voice inside continued to sound, and then a series of light footsteps slowly came.
At the end of the room, a middle-aged woman wearing a dark black robe with a simple and unruffled face walked over. She looked at Cudoni expressionlessly, as if waiting for his reply.
"I can't see through him." Cudoni shook his head, "This knight is very powerful, and has reached the peak of Silver Knight. He is only a step away from advancing to a Gold Knight and becoming one of the strongest people in the entire Tamru Kingdom."
"There is no doubt about his potential, but I can't see through his essence."
"It's the same even when you are holding the Eye of Darkness?"
"The Eye of Darkness is a divine artifact left by my Lord, but its greatest power is protection, not detection. Moreover, the Eye of Darkness is dead now, and my power is not enough to activate it. It's normal that I can't see through it."
Cudoni shook his head, and there was some helplessness on his face. When he thought of the scene that he used the divine artifact to peep at, there was still some doubt in his eyes, "However, his line of fate is much stronger than that of ordinary people. It's not limited to this place, but has a bigger stage."
"He may not be the protagonist on the stage, but he may be a supporting character."
"That's not bad."
The middle-aged woman wearing a dark black robe seemed to be thinking, "It's not easy to meet the protagonist of fate. Even if it's just a supporting character, it's still a rare gain."
"Also, take good care of those young people in the church."
She turned around and raised her head, and there was some dissatisfaction between her brows, "Before we have given any instructions, they actually directly participate in the full power dispute within the kingdom. Aren't they too daring?"
"Especially at this crucial time …"
"They are a group of young people, after all." Cudoni shook his head, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face. He just had a smile on his face, "They haven't experienced the predicament when we were in dire straits, where we couldn't even find a place to stay, and they haven't experienced the crisis when the whole church was almost destroyed. Naturally, their thinking is more naive, and their methods are also more immature."
"However, it's precisely because of the existence of these young people that the world will continue to move forward and slowly begin to complete changes, instead of being so dead and silent."
"That's true." As if thinking of something, the middle-aged priestess nodded expressionlessly, "It's just that at this time, the actions of these young people are somewhat inappropriate. If this continues, it will inevitably delay the entire plan of the church, and greatly delay the return of my Lord."
"Don't worry." Cudoni nodded, "I'll pay attention, and I won't let this kind of thing happen again."
"As for that Knight Yasuo, we need to send some priestesses to observe him."
"Who should we send?" the middle-aged priestess asked.
"Your student, Sylner, is very suitable," Cudoni smiled and said naturally.
