The skyline in the dark night is not without any light.
In fact, in such a flat field, the clouds at night can still be seen with some layers in the moonlight.
Today, the brightest place around Lilcui, apart from the town, is the Turbulent Castle that stands across the river.
The wedding of the owner of the castle attracted a large number of guests. They attended tonight's feast, went sightseeing in various places in the castle, and gathered in the banquet hall for social dancing.
Among the crowds of people, a tall woman caught everyone's attention.
She wore a black tunic that tightened her obviously thick waist as much as possible. The opening of her neck was covered with soft down, and she wore a long gray skirt underneath.
Her expression was very uncomfortable, her wrist holding the wine glass was stiff, and her eyes kept glancing at the people next to her, nervously.
At this time, a man who put down his wine glass walked over as if nothing had happened. He turned his back to her and pretended not to know each other. In fact, he talked to her softly: "Do you recognize them? What are the origins of these people?"
The tall woman's face twitched. She had been so nervous since joining tonight's banquet that she had forgotten about her business. When asked by the man behind her, she could only cough lightly and said perfunctorily: "I don't know, I don't."
Get to know these guys here."
The man did not hear that this was a lie, and he reported his findings to her: "Most of the guests should be just squires living near Rilcuy, or planters in the south of San Doango, but
I also saw several officials from Ghana, they must have been invited through special channels just like us, Bishop!"
When the tall woman heard this, her whole expression suddenly darkened.
"I knew those guys were involved. I must find the bat-winged demon hiding in Turbulent Castle tonight!"
Yes, that's right, this woman is the only female bishop in the Northern Holy See—Isabelle Chardeau Roland, the seer of the Secret Tradition III.
Because of the incident with the Bat-Winged Demon, the hidden forces in Canada gradually surfaced. The Holy See arranged for her to lead people to investigate, and her actions were one step faster than the elite agents of the Department of Defense and Suppression.
They were relatively lucky and were not attacked by unknown persons while the train was traveling, so they successfully reached the north of the San Doango area, that is, the north of the God's Scourge Canyon.
After arriving in the town there, they learned that the train track to the south of Santo Toango had been damaged, and that Rircuay and its surrounding areas were in a semi-closed state. They could only go there on foot, and the road was steep and required to cross.
Rivers and carriages are difficult to navigate.
This situation obviously gave a signal to the team in the Realm of Brilliance that there must be some secret hidden in Lilkui, otherwise the railway would not have been repaired after being closed for so long.
After asking around in the dark alleys of the town, they learned that there was a special way to get to Rilcui. They also learned that the owner of Torrent Castle was about to hold a wedding and was inviting dignitaries from Ghana.
Only upper-class people who have been invited can go to Lilcui through special channels.
As the bishop of the Northern Holy See, Isabel certainly had the means to obtain the status of an upper-class person.
They disguised themselves as large landowners in the northeastern counties, successfully obtained an invitation from the black market, and then sent it to the southern part of the Santo Toango region via a specially arranged carriage.
The windows of the carriage were locked from the outside and would only be opened for them after they arrived in the southern part of the San Doango area, allowing them to see the outside scene.
Therefore, Isabel and her two subordinates did not see how they reached the southern part of the Santo Toango area, but she speculated based on the map that the car probably passed through a tunnel dug underground.
After all, while driving, the three of them would feel bumps and hear dripping water from time to time.
Another thing that was very strange was that there were different escorts transporting the car, and they were not the same group of people they saw when they got on the bus.
After arriving in the south and opening the car window, Isabel discovered that the driver and the escort protecting the vehicle all covered their mouths and noses with black hoods and cloth towels, and no skin was exposed on their bodies except for their eyes.
Moreover, they could not communicate with each other, so they sent the guests to this huge castle built on the river without saying a word.
After Isabel joined this banquet of squires and dignitaries, she did not doubt the local unbalanced economic structure like Victor did.
They don't even know about the living dead. The reason why they came here is simply to find out the truth about the bat-winged demon.
So in her eyes, the banquet in Turbulent Castle is no different from the lavish and luxurious life of most upper class people.
Instead of seeing the cruel and bloody monster feast, Isabel thought the scene in Turbulent Castle was too normal.
Maybe... the owner of the castle hid the bat-winged demon.
This is Isabel's inference.
Therefore, in the middle of the banquet, she called the two subordinate executors who came with her, secretly left the party, and prepared to go around the city to look for anything strange.
They left through another door of the banquet hall and walked onto a stone path that curved upward. Along the stone path, they could see the river that rushed towards the end and then fell under the castle.
The two executors of the Realm of Bright Light were both men. One of them pointed in the direction of the river and shouted in surprise: "I understand, this river was artificially diverted, and the end of it should be the Red River."
The other executor looked forward again, his ears filled with roaring sounds.
"It's incredible. I have never seen such a building. A large project was used to divert the river water, and then a bottomless hole was dug at the end, and a huge castle was built on top. What is the purpose of this?
"
Although Isabel didn't care about the construction of Rilcui and Turbulent Castle, she was not stupid. After hearing what her subordinate said, she quickly frowned.
"I see... We have to find a way to get to the bottom of this castle, perhaps, deep in the cave..."
The two executors beside him looked at the female bishop with doubts.
Isabel looked around and made sure no one was around before continuing to explain: "Something underground here requires a very large amount of river water. Have you thought of anything?"
The two looked at each other, still confused.
Isabel sighed, shook her head, and then looked at the distant town of Rilcui.
"The water flow represents power, and this is how the waterwheel rotates, as well as the irritating factories to the west, production equipment, cooling, steel manufacturing... In short, I can almost hear the tears coming from the underground of Lilqua
The sound is so loud that the whole earth is wailing."
…
The fanatical believers in the Realm of Brilliant Light followed the bat-winged demon. As they lamented the earth, in the cell where the slaves were held underneath, the dead male slaves had long since ceased to cry.
The cell door was opened, and a strange man covered in armor walked in.
Victor squinted his eyes and looked at the other person. The light from outside the door fell on the armored knight, making Victor feel as if he had traveled to the ancient cold weapon period.
He held his breath and waited quietly for the other party to find the dead male slave, and then walked over to check.
