The head of the radiant incarnation roughly pushed open the door of the Pope's Tower. This tower of power of the Theocracy, which would not officially welcome a new owner for some time, now only had Mao Jing left.
In order to keep the secret secret, Antonio mobilized the confidants of the Inquisition to a limited extent. They followed the incarnations of radiance and quickly took control of the entire Papal Tower.
Seeing that the person who followed the head of the incarnation of Glory into the reception room on the first floor had a strange expression, everyone in the Glory Academy hurried forward.
Pushing away the crowd eagerly, what came into view were two old corpses. The blood on the ground was like a snake, twisting and swimming in the gaps between the floor tiles, and the bright red color extended forward little by little.
There were tears in Mao Jing's eyes as she was arranging the remains of the two old men. She stared coldly at the head of the incarnation of radiance and stood up little by little.
The head of the radiant incarnation, this eighth-level magician, could not bear the surging anger in the extension of the cat thorn, and subconsciously took two steps back.
After seeing the appearance of the two corpses clearly, some people in the Guanghui Courtyard were surprised, some were ashamed, and none of them dared to meet Mao Jing's sharp eyes.
The two nuns in black, who had been raised by Catthorn since childhood, guarded the Corridor of Time, and silently protected Laurent for half his life, committed suicide.
As they said, they will follow Laurent whether in life or in death, and today is the day they fulfill their promise.
The blood of the loyal souls has not yet dried, and the blasphemers are coming in a hurry. At this moment, they are like the villains in the bard's stories, their faces are hateful.
"The Pope's Tower hasn't changed hands yet, why are you so impatient?" Mao Jing's cold gaze and sharp words made Antonio at a loss.
The head of the radiant incarnation stood up: "Pope Laurent's body is missing and is suspected to have been stolen. It is currently being searched secretly. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Lord Mao Jing."
After he spoke, the Avatars of Glory bowed to Catthorn one after another, and then searched everywhere. The members of the Tribunal also breathed a sigh of relief and acted together.
After hearing that Laurend's body was missing, Mao Jing stood up quickly. She grabbed the silver robe of the head of the radiance incarnation and shouted with red eyes: "When did he disappear? Where are the people who look after the main church? Tell me clearly!"
"
The Radiance Institute carefully thought about the words of the Incarnation of Radiance, and felt that the cat Jing, who was deeply in love with Laurend, had sufficient motives for committing the crime. The reason why Laurent was still unwilling to hand over his body to the Theocracy may have something to do with her.
They couldn't wait to rush to the Pope's Tower, hoping to stop Mao Jing's crazy behavior before she escaped. However, at this moment, Mao Jing's crazy reaction... Cat Jing did not immediately question their suspicions about her, which made the head of the radiant incarnation also
Somewhat shaken.
The search was carried out in great detail. Even the hidden wall in Laurend's bedroom was opened and searched. The hidden compartments where the servants who lived here kept their personal belongings were found. Some items that had been forgotten were even found.
Private money left.
It is not easy to hide a body. The fact that nothing was found in the Papal Tower made the Guanghui Institute surprised and even more confused. They could not think of anyone else who needed Laurend's body besides Cat Jing.
Mao Jing lost her mind and refused the Guanghui Institute's offer to stay at the Pope's Tower, insisting on participating in the search.
If Antonio hadn't reminded Mao Jing that the remains of the two nuns in black had not yet been "rested in peace", they would have no doubt that the clothes of the head of the radiant incarnation would have been torn to pieces by the crazy Cat Jing.
After repeatedly promising to allow her to search together after taking care of the nun's body, Guanghui Institute left a few Inquisition guards to follow Mao Jing and returned to the main church again.
Just relying on their first instinct, they went straight to the Pope's Tower, but returned without success, and were also cleared of the suspicion of cat thorns. Now they returned to the scene of the discovery, and everyone began to carefully summarize the information at the scene.
The knights guarding the main church were trembling. Knowing the seriousness of the loss of Laurend's body, they were despairing.
Through their trembling descriptions, everyone instantly felt that layers of fog were blocking their eyes.
There were four knights guarding Laurend's body. The reason why there were so few knights was because no one thought that anyone would offend Laurend.
Two of them guard the gate, and the remaining two patrol continuously. The highest rank of the four is fifth level.
The main church is protected by a magic circle. If someone invades, even if they escape an average fourth-level knight, the magic circle arranged by a seventh-level magician in the church will immediately warn and counterattack.
However, all four people said they did not hear any movement in the church. During this period, the captain, under the supervision of others, opened the door to confirm the situation in the church, and everything was normal.
The wind is blowing.
The four sharp-eyed people had the same story. Uneasy, they asked separately to confirm, and were finally convinced that what they said was true.
A priest still believed that the knights were lying and decided to execute one person as a deterrent.
Antonio stopped him: "Pope Laurent would not want to see us do this. This is our negligence. The thieves are very powerful. They easily avoided their sight, cracked the magic circle, and stole the body... They
Having done everything within their capabilities, I believe that if they really meet the thieves, they will definitely be willing to take back Pope Laurent's body with their lives."
The knights prostrated themselves on the ground, and burst into tears after hearing Antonio's words.
"Forgive them. This means that everyone will know that Laurent's body was lost in our hands and you have not been crowned yet. This will have a huge impact on you!" someone advised.
Antonio sighed: "Now that the Papal City has been sealed off, we should have one day to conduct a search. If there are no results, we will consider it again. Incarnation of Glory, are you sure that the body cannot leave the Papal City, or even leave the area from the Papal Tower to the Guanghui Court?"
"
The head of the radiant incarnation squatted near the coffin area and carefully searched for clues. When he heard this question, he did not turn around and answered calmly: "Based on the words of these knights, it is absolutely impossible."
"Again, what does the other party need Laurent's body for?" he asked.
"Blackmailing the Theocracy? Then he can indeed succeed, and we will definitely be willing to meet his conditions for Laurent. But a person who can avoid the sight of the fifth level and crack the seventh-level magic circle will fight with the entire sect in order to satisfy a wish.
Is the country an enemy?"
Antonio agreed with the inference of the Glory Incarnation, and then said: "Then there is only one possibility left. The other party does not want us to preserve Laurent's body, and prefers to keep it himself. The person who has such an idea must be Lao
One of Lund’s closest people…”
Everyone in Guanghui Court realized what was happening and left with the people from the Tribunal in a furious manner.
The head of the radiant incarnation looked at their backs, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked around the coffin where the remains were originally stored. Countless pictures appeared in his mind and then disappeared, and various possibilities were deduced and began to reappear vividly.
He felt that he had missed some key information, but his dignity as the incarnation of Glory did not allow him to show cowardice in front of the people in the Brilliance Institute. When the surroundings returned to calm, he searched hard.
"Cheating Kangxi"
From a distance, Antonio saw Sera lying under a big tree, and a large dark purple jellyfish covering her with a blanket at a speed that was so slow that it could be called slow.
Lu Yu on the side was holding a smaller, glowing, crystal green little jellyfish, teasing her tentacles, enjoying herself.
Beside Lu Yu, the petite Ms. Gulu was flipping through a book with unknown words on the cover. She was so engrossed in it that she didn't notice the changes in her surroundings.
The chaotic steps did not wake up Sera, who was sleeping in an unsightly posture on the ground. Lu Yu stepped forward and pulled the blanket, covering the mountain peak with clouds and mist, and then turned around to face the people in Guanghui Court who looked unkind.
"You seem to have something to do with Sera?"
"Maybe I have something to do with Mr. Lu Yu." Archbishop Bould of the Tribunal asked in a deep voice, "Where were you during the dinner?"
"Me?" Lu Yu recalled for a moment and replied, "Gulu and I are outsiders and cannot enter your dinner party. In order to wait for Sera, I have been waiting outside the door. I want the guards of the law enforcement court and a few people to come over.
The interrogating Black ^, the Quiet One, and any other Shadow Guards can provide me with proof?"
Antonio was shocked when he realized that Lu Yu and Gulu had been left hanging outside the dinner venue all night. He looked at the priest who was hosting the dinner.
The high priest also asked her with sharp eyes what was going on.
The priest had no choice but to awkwardly walk to the two of them and said: "It is said that Mr. Glutton has some conflicts with Princess Tanya of Solon. In order to avoid some unexpected situations, I hope he can go to the seat where the entourage is, or...
He sat in the corner...but he didn't want to and insisted on sitting in the noble seat..."
Antonio and the high priest were greatly troubled.
Lu Yu was Sera's lover. Now that Laurende has just passed away, they treat Lu Yu like this. How would a caring person treat them!
Antonio didn't know whether he should resolve the misunderstanding tonight first or continue to ask for some details. He suddenly felt tired.
"Lord Laurent, have you felt this way before?"
There was really no other way. After consulting Lu Yu's "boyfriend", everyone in the Guanghui Academy used water magic to wake up the drunk Sera.
With an angry look on her face, Sera's eyes were dull after hearing that the reason for waking her up was that Laurend's body was missing. She looked around and pinched her face, as if she suspected that she was in a dream.
Until Lu Yu mercilessly threw the light jellyfish into her face, the light jellyfish pupated like a facehugger... This time Sera woke up completely.
The reaction was exactly the same as Mao Jing's, but this time the unlucky one was Archbishop David of the Law Enforcement Court, who was closest to her and had the best relationship with her.
"Saira God's Chosen, we want to know, where are you after the dinner?"
Facing Bould who asked this question, Sierra seemed to be looking at a fool. After a long time, her eyes moved down and looked at the grass on the ground, the fallen leaves on the ground, and the blanket that Lu Yu had taken from nowhere.
superior.
"Been here all this time?"
"I'm drunk, do you understand?" Sierra's voice suddenly became louder, perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, and she became very excited, "Laurent's body is missing and you are questioning me. What do you mean? Are you doubting me?"
Doubting me!"
"You didn't go to Laurend or search the prisoner, but you came to me as a team. Are you going to take away my title as soon as Laurend leaves..."
Sierra's face flushed, her throat was surging, and her mouth bulged. She turned around, turned her back to everyone, and vomited...
Everyone in Guanghuiyuan just felt that tonight was particularly unsatisfactory.
Laurent's body disappeared. When searching for the Papal Tower, he encountered two nuns in black who committed suicide. After questioning Sera, she found that she had drunk too much and had lost her manners.
No matter what the occasion, they are extremely embarrassed.
With sufficient alibi, Lu Yu, Sera and Gulu were also cleared of suspicion.
Could it be that the God of Glory came and personally took away her most loyal preacher in the world?
The Tribunal knocked on the door of the mission rooms of various countries in the name of "Laurent's important belongings were lost during his lifetime". After some questioning, the helpless Guanghui Institute found a breakthrough.
"Your Excellency Lu Yu, an envoy from Solon, an envoy from Sligo, and a knight on guard all claimed to have witnessed you leaving the venue during the dinner. Although it was very brief, can you tell me where you went?"
Lu Yu replied cheerfully: "Go back to the Pope's Tower to get a book. Well... it's the book Gulu is reading now. It's my personal belongings. I believe you can find the corresponding witnesses later, but I will return soon.
, the interval was very short. And those who witnessed me can also prove that I did not carry anything obvious or special."
The search once again reached a deadlock. The questioning and search of the envoys from the Three Kingdoms had caused the news of the "missing items" to spread quickly. People were discussing what [Laurent's valuables] were, so much so that the Theocracy mobilized troops and even closed the city.
.
As time goes by, the fermenting public opinion at uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com will make the Theocracy more and more unfavorable. It is impossible for them to trap all the envoys here, and the disappearance of Laurend’s body is not a secret that is easy to hide.
...There are so many people, and scrolls of high-level spiritual magic are relatively rare, so it is impossible for everyone to use them.
Antonio did not believe that anyone could take Laurent's body out of the area from the Papal Tower to the Court of Glory. He was extremely convinced that the body was still nearby.
The thief is here too!
But who is it, and what method was used to hide it?
Even if the thieves didn't respect Laurend's body and placed it casually, there should still be some traces of it under the plowing-like search inch by inch by the knights and magicians armed with many props.
The keen intuition made Antonio and Boulder, two experienced archbishops of the Tribunal, feel that this was the work of Lu Yu, Sera or Mao Jing, or even the three of them working together, but...the three of them were all involved when the incident occurred.
There is an alibi.
Catthorn was watched by the incarnations of light remaining around the Pope's Tower.
Sierra kept socializing at the dinner.
Lu Yu and Gulu were waiting outside the venue. Even if they asked Hei^, the Shadow Guards and the Quiet One who had already left, he was innocent - it was too obvious for a lonely guy to wander around the door with a big jellyfish.
, it’s impossible not to notice.
Even if Lu Yu left briefly midway, just as he said, he was empty-handed, and everyone along the way could testify.
Time and space proved that these three people could not complete the theft, and they all had perfect eyewitness testimony.
To take a step back, these three people really have astonishing hiding abilities and are able to steal successfully, and there is no place in the nearby area that can hide the body.
The somewhat absurd idea arose in Antonio's mind again.
