Chapter 490: Faith and Magic Invalid
Auroville, castle, office.
Since the weather outside was extremely hot, Owen asked the demi-human maid to place two buckets of ice cubes indoors to cool down, so that he could sit at his desk and process documents without any distractions.
At this time, a personal guard hurriedly walked in, saluted and announced: "Your Majesty, Minister of Education Teresa and Bishop Flynn are urgently seeking an audience."
Hmm? What happened that made these two people anxious to see him? Is it related to the Rumicale Cult?
"Bring them in." Owen agreed.
"Yes." The guards took the order and retreated.
After a while, Teresa and Bishop Flynn came to the office.
As soon as he saw Owen, Bishop Flynn walked to the desk emotionally and put his hands directly on the table.
"Your Majesty the King, something big has happened! We urgently need your help!"
Seeing this, Owen raised his hand and pressed it down, trying to stabilize the other person's emotions.
"Bishop Flynn, please don't be so excited yet."
"Oh!" Bishop Flynn still couldn't contain his excitement and raised his hand to slap the table, "The magic of faith has failed. This is a big crisis that will shake the faith of countless believers. How can I not be anxious?
!”
"The magic of faith has failed?"
With a frown, Owen immediately realized that this matter was definitely not simple and stood up from his seat.
"What exactly is going on? Can you tell me in detail?"
"Bishop Flynn."
Theresa stretched out her hand to press Bishop Flynn's shoulder at the right time and said calmly: "You will only make His Majesty confused, so let me explain."
"Yes." Bishop Flynn could only nod in agreement and stepped aside, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Next, Teresa turned to look at Owen and explained in detail the whole process of how they discovered that the magic of faith failed.
It turned out that this morning in a factory in the northern industrial zone, a worker did not strictly follow the routine procedures at work and was accidentally injured by the machine. He was in urgent need of medical treatment.
Fortunately, the factory had spent money to hire a high-ranking priest to serve as a therapist, so the person in charge quickly called the priest over and asked him to use the healing magic of faith to treat the worker.
Because there had been several work-related injuries in the factory before, and the senior priests hired had successfully treated the injured workers, so everyone felt that this time the accident would be solved like before.
What I never expected was that after the senior priest arrived, he prayed to the gods several times, but was unable to perform the healing spell.
In the end, the senior priest was so anxious that he could only tell everyone with tears that his faith was probably not strong enough, which prevented him from using the magic of faith.
Considering that the worker's injury could not be delayed for too long, other workers in the factory worked together to send him to the church to find other senior priests to perform healing techniques.
This was the first wounded person received by the church today. As a result, many senior priests took turns to fight, but none of them could successfully perform the magic of faith.
After learning about this, Bishop Flynn came forward in person, and found that he could not use the healing technique either, so he had to ask the priests present to give the injured worker a simple bandage and treatment, while he ran to Teresa for help.
Although Teresa now serves as the Minister of Education in the City Hall, she is still the most powerful senior priest in Dawn City who believes in magic.
This incident alarmed Teresa, who immediately put down the work at hand and followed Bishop Flynn to the church to check out the situation.
Sure enough, Teresa couldn't cast the magic of faith. Then she and Bishop Flynn had a private discussion and came to the same conclusion——
The inability of so many high-ranking priests to cast faith magic is definitely not caused by lack of firm belief in the gods. The faith magic may have failed.
In order to verify whether this conclusion is correct, they need to contact the senior officials of the Holy City of the Holy Theocracy of Caleb to confirm the status of the Fire of Faith.
Ever since, there was a scene where Teresa and Bishop Flynn urgently requested to see Owen.
As soon as Teresa finished telling what happened, Bishop Flynn couldn't wait to step forward and asked: "Your Majesty the King, I heard that you have radio equipment that can be used to communicate with the Holy City. Can you lend it to us? I
This matter needs to be reported to the church’s senior leadership.”
Last autumn, the Kingdom of Dawn and other countries in the mainland signed an emergency mutual assistance agreement in the Holy City, agreeing to jointly deal with the threat of undead monsters.
In order to facilitate the relocation of troops to the countries that signed the agreement, the Dawn Kingdom sold a set of radio equipment to each country, then sent people to build a signal tower at a suitable location in each country's capital and taught how to use the radio equipment.
Therefore, Morning Light Kingdom can now easily get in touch with high-level officials of various countries.
"Oh, I want to use that radio equipment, no..."
"I'm very sorry to interrupt your conversation. I have something urgent to report."
Just when Owen was about to agree to the other party's request, a soldier rushed into the office in a hurry.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, our army has just received news from Red Sand Fortress. The undead monster that has disappeared for two years has finally appeared! Viscount Jarvis sent me to contact you, hoping that you will come to attend the emergency military meeting."
"What?!"
Not only Irving, but everyone present was shocked when they heard the news.
Why do all kinds of strange things happen one after another at the same time? This is too coincidental.
Is there any connection between the appearance of undead monsters and the failure of faith magic? This is very doubtful.
"I know, I'll be there right away." Owen said to the soldier with a solemn look on his face.
Then, he turned to look at Teresa and Bishop Flynn.
"The radio equipment you want to use is placed in the Northern Military Region. It's just on the way. Let's go there together."
"Okay." The two nodded solemnly.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, Owen and his party left the castle and quickly rushed to the northern military region.
After arriving, Owen ordered other soldiers to lead Teresa and Bishop Flynn to the communications camp to use radio equipment to contact the Holy City, while he himself went to attend an emergency military meeting.
At the meeting, Owen received more detailed information from Viscount Jarvis.
"A huge undead army poured into the Mark Desert from the Arctic Icefield and is heading towards our country?!"
After learning the news, Owen looked at Viscount Jarvis with some confusion.
"Didn't you say that undead monsters cannot survive in the arctic ice?"
"This... I'm very sorry, Your Majesty."
Viscount Jarvis frowned and apologized: "Although I don't know how so many undead monsters were hoarded in the far north ice sheet, it can be seen from this incident that the Kazitus are very cunning and put us and Jia
The Holy Theocracy has been deceived."
Regardless, Viscount Jarvis is not to blame for this matter. The conclusion was also drawn by the previous Templar investigation. It can only be said that Kazitu is too insidious.
"One more thing, Your Majesty."
Kadir said with some worry: "Since the first joint investigation team suffered heavy losses during the execution of the mission, and only the captain Elena Helen survived by chance, then has the second joint investigation team that set out from Dawn City also encountered misfortune?
