Chapter 305 Gray And The Priest
The City Lord's Mansion of Cold Winter City was destroyed in a sea of thunder and flames. Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of other forces.
For example, the mercenary guild and church also in Winter City.
As the two strongest forces other than the royal family, these two forces sent people to check almost as soon as the roar came.
Not long after, Gray appeared in front of the City Lord's Mansion together with a middle-aged man dressed as a priest.
Looking at the ruins in front of them that had been doused by the heavy rain, the eyes of both of them were filled with horror.
"What the hell happened?"
Gray had a serious look on his face.
The priest on the side was also lost in thought while looking at the ruins.
Soon, the two of them learned what had happened from the surrounding residents and the servants of the City Lord's Mansion.
The priest immediately said, "Impossible..."
As soon as he said the words, he realized that he was too excited, and quickly restrained himself, and continued.
"What kind of existence is God? He can save the world. How could he use the Thunder of God's Retribution for just one person? Besides, if the God of Man has any divine orders, he will naturally inform the archbishop through the oracle. Why bother?" Do it yourself?"
Gray curled his lips in disdain.
Gray is not a believer in the church. Maybe someone in the mercenary guild believes in the church. Maybe the person who sits in his position will never believe in the church. After all, the two parties are in a certain way competitive.
Therefore, Gray would not easily believe the priest's words, he believed in what he saw with his own eyes.
Gray planned to verify it himself, the so-called divine punishment, he ignored the priest and walked towards the ruins.
Seeing this, the priest also followed.
The two investigated all the way from the gate to the backyard.
It's a pity that the heavy rain washed away a lot of things, making many clues disappear.
However, Gray and the priest deduced a surprising truth based on the location of the castle wreckage.
The entire City Lord's Mansion seemed to be destroyed at the same time.
"Destroyed an entire castle in an instant? How much strength is needed to do this?" Gray was stunned.
The priest on the side immediately said: "No, why is there a lot of aura after the explosion of magic cores around?"
After hearing this, Gray immediately rolled his eyes at the priest, and taunted: "Is it strange that there is a magic core in the city lord's mansion? Such a big explosion, can the magic core not be detonated?"
The priest was taken aback when he heard this, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't refute.
Seeing this, Gray continued: "Besides, is there a way for you to make so many magic cores explode at the same time at different locations?"
For them who have never seen gunpowder and timing devices, it is difficult to imagine any way to do this.
No, there is really a way, which is to have hundreds of people manually detonate the magic core together.
But in doing so, everyone who detonated the magic core will not be able to escape.
The two looked at each other and began to search for the wreckage in the ruins.
However, after searching, they only found the remains of some guards and knights.
These are obviously the guards and knights of the City Lord's Mansion, so the guess just now was wrong.
After that, the two did not find any useful information.
The only strange thing is that the city lord Lenny Carton, Yolande, and Beavis didn't even leave any remains.
But according to the castle servants, Lenny Carton must be in the castle.
It was Lenny Carton himself who drove the servants out of the Santo's mansion.
"It is impossible for Lenny Carton to abandon Winter City. Such a big thing happened. He has not appeared yet, which means that he is really dead. Even a level 6 powerhouse, it is difficult to be silent How about killing an experienced level 5 fighter?"
At this time, Gray already believed in what the servants said about God's Thunder of Punishment.
Even the priest couldn't help muttering at this moment: "Could it be... is it really God's punishment? Or maybe Lenny Carton was picked up by God."
The priest muttered, and immediately decided that this matter must be reported to the Archbishop.
...
Even the mercenary guild and the church didn't give an answer.
It was even more impossible for others to have an answer, and everyone naturally blamed this matter on God.
In this way, the lord of Winter City, Lenny Carton, was struck by the lightning of God's punishment in the castle, and the rumors that there was no bones left spread quickly to the entire human empire.
Of course, some people think that all of this is just a coincidence, and both Lenny Carton and the Santo's Mansion were just unlucky to be hit by lightning.
No matter which version it is, everyone is sure of one thing.
That is, Lenny Carton was not murdered.
...
When Gray and the priest came to a conclusion, the five Li Fans were on their way back to the valley.
From the moment they met, until they enjoyed the 'fireworks' outside the city, they headed straight towards the sinful forest.
At this time, it is still not the time for them to take their guard lightly. If traces are found at this time, it may also attract speculation from people like Gray.
Therefore, Li Fan was very careful along the way. He asked Ying to explore the way ahead, and the four of himself followed behind to avoid bumping into people who should not be bumped into.
Fortunately, Li Fan did so.
After walking more than ten kilometers, Anna suddenly stopped several people.
Anna moved her silver-haired ears and said, "Shadow just played the bone flute, and someone is approaching us from the front."
After Li Fan and the others heard this, they immediately hid to the side.
Not long after, a muscular middle-aged man appeared in their field of vision.
The opponent is very fast, at least a level 4 fighter.
Li Fan thought for a while, and then knew the identity of the other party.
Great Knight - Wood.
The guy was tricked by Anna's password and was supposed to head towards the sinful forest.
According to Li Fan's plan, when they killed Lenny Carton and went back, they would capture this guy by the way.
Qixi said that this guy is a true knight with a sense of justice, and it would undoubtedly be a good thing if he could be allowed to join their territory.
But this Wood probably saw the explosion in the City Lord's Mansion, so he turned back in a hurry after walking not far.
Li Fan thought for a while, but finally did not stop Wood.
For one thing, his injuries are still not healed, and he is in an extremely exhausted state. If Anna alone takes action, he will definitely not be able to take Wood down.
Secondly, he was not sure about convincing Wood, and if he couldn't convince Wood, he could only kill Wood if his whereabouts were exposed.
If he killed Wood, Qixi, a simple child, would definitely not be able to accept it. Even if he didn't complain, there would still be pimples in his heart.
That being the case, Li Fan chose not to contact this Wood for the time being.
Anyway, this Wood has no knowledge of all their actions today, and will not reveal their plans.
Otherwise, even if Qixi interceded, Li Fan would not let Wood live.
