Lucien’s patience seemed to be running out, and his temper became increasingly irritable.

Seeing this, the guards all avoided the Lord, even walking more lightly, for fear of attracting his wrath and becoming the object of his venting.

Bonfires rose up in the campsite, their orange flames licking the mutton on the grill, only tasting the hot dripping oil.

Lucien sat expressionless in front of the bonfire, taking a golden-roasted leg of lamb, and tore into it without regard for the burning temperature.

A servant quickly and carefully handed over a pot of wine, and then retreated.

He hadn’t taken a few steps when he heard a distant clatter of horseshoes from the entrance of the camp. Then he saw a messenger coming in hurriedly.

Lucien frowned at the man’s attire and asked, “Are you from Swan City?”

The messenger hurriedly advanced and made a bow, “Yes, Sir! Count Schultz sent me to deliver a letter to you!”

With that, he handed the letter to Lucien.

Lucien opened it and found that it was indeed a personal letter from Count Schultz. After a hurried scan, he stood up with surprise, his face full of undisguised elation.

Seeing this, the attendant tactfully asked, “Sir, is there good news?”

“The person was found, hiding right in Swan Castle! Ha, I was right from the start, I was almost deceived!” Lucien said excitedly.

“Congratulations, Sir!”

“Issue my orders, rest for the night, return to Swan City tomorrow!”

“Yes!”

Swan Castle.

Archbishop Agani was led into a lounge by a maid.

However, here, she did not see Count Schultz who had invited her, but another person.

“Viscount Angler?” Agani looked at Colin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, with a surprised face, “You… didn’t you already leave Swan City?”

Colin gave a bitter smile and said, “Well, someone did not want me to leave.”

Agani pointed to the wheelchair under Colin and asked, “Are you injured?”

Colin gave a deliberate sigh, nodded his head, then gestured with his chin to a corner of the lounge, “I am still lucky. The fate of Archbishop John is truly… lamentable!”

Only then did Agani notice a coffin placed in the lounge. She seemed to realize something. Her face solemn, she walked over and saw Archbishop John lying inside the coffin through the opened lid.

“Who did this?” Agani’s tone became icy cold.

“Lucien.”

“Lucien?” Agani exclaimed in surprise, in her voice, there was not only anger but also a faint hint of fear that she couldn’t quite hide.

“That’s right.” Colin nodded his head, his voice deep, “Lucien colluded with outsiders, assassinated Archbishop John, injured me when I found out, and imprisoned me in the basement.

Fortunately, Count Schultz found it in time and rescued me.”

Agani’s eyes flickered, she asked, half-believing, “So you’re saying Count Schultz betrayed her own husband to save you?”

Colin answered solemnly, “As a devout follower of the Radiant Faith, a righteous Northern Knight, a noble Imperial Count, she chose to willingly renounce darkness and embrace light. Is there a problem with that?”

“Of course not.” Archbishop Agani suppressed her doubt, she asked, “What about Countess Schultz? Can I see her?”

“She is in the next room, waiting for Lucien’s return.”

Agani’s expression changed, she asked nervously, “What does she want to do?”

“Of course, she will question her husband about why he has abandoned faith and glory!”

Looking at Colin’s righteous expression, Agani was uncertain, after a long pause she whispered, “Lucien is a rank six warrior, if he gets provoked…”

Colin snorted softly, interrupting her indifferently, “Archbishop, are you afraid of confronting a rank six warrior’s rage?”

Agani took a deep breath, regaining her calm demeanor, “Of course not. Under the glory of our Lord, no evil can escape judgment!”

“That’s good.” Colin grinned at the archbishop in front of him, “Countess Schultz will soon expose Lucien’s crime and sever ties with him. The reason I asked you to come is because I hope you can witness it.”

“Alright.” Seeing Colin’s calm face, Agani seemed to realize something and let go of her worries.

Thinking for a moment, Agani asked again, “You just said Lucien conspired with outsiders to harm Bishop John, who is this ‘outsider’? Why did he want to harm Bishop John?”

“Former Duke St. Hilde.”

“Who?” Agani thought Colin was joking.

However, Colin answered seriously: “That’s right. The deceased Duke St. Hilde, he came back to life. Still, I suspect, it was not the duke himself who was resurrected, but Mr. Ji who used some unknown Forbidden Spell to possess the duke’s remains and brought him back to life.”

Agani’s eyes widened, stunned, looking at Colin, obviously finding what he just said completely unbelievable.

Seeing her reaction, Colin added indifferently, “This is my guess, believe it or not. However, I guess you also know that Prince Lexie is currently in the North Territory, which is precisely because of Mr. Ji!”

Agani was lost in thought.

She knew about the incident of Duke St. Hilde’s body being stolen, after all, she personally presided over his funeral.

Moreover, she had also heard about Prince Lexie’s affairs.

Therefore, although Colin’s guess was shocking, Agani thought there was a high chance that it might be the truth.

Thinking of this, her face became extremely solemn, she said in a low voice: “If Mr. Ji indeed possessed the body of a holy knight, then the gravity of this matter exceeds your prediction, I must report it to the Pope immediately!”

“Exactly. To heal Duke St. Hilde’s wounds, Mr. Ji will definitely continue to kidnap the church’s high priests, you need to prepare for this.”

“Not only that. If Mr. Ji really ends up with a complete holy knight’s body, he will become unstoppable!”

Colin’s face changed, he asked, “Why?”

Agani hesitated for a while before giving a vague reply:

“The power of a mage’s forbidden spell is so terrifying that the only thing that can limit them till now, is that their bodies can’t bear the backlash of the Forbidden Spell. But, if Mr. Ji gets a completely intact holy knight’s body, he might no longer need to worry about the backlash.”

Colin was startled and exclaimed, “Can a holy knight’s body withstand a forbidden spell’s backlash?”

“At least it won’t be as fragile as a mortal body, even if there are some injuries, they can be repaired. If we add the method of sacrifice that Mr. Ji previously used in Fallen Eagle City to share some of the backlash damage, I fear he might become unrestricted!”

A saint mage who can cast Forbidden Spells without a second thought!

Just thinking about it feels terrifying.

The atmosphere suddenly became very heavy.

At the moment when the two of them were engrossed in pondering, footsteps came from the next room.

Colin and Agani exchanged glances without uttering a word, silently sharing their thoughts-

Lucien, is back.
