Of course unintentional evil is also evil, but the degree of evil is definitely slightly lower than intentional evil.
However, Shade's worries about the "Sword of Light" were actually unnecessary, because before he was about to disturb the coroner, Mr. Ptolemy Albert, before lunch, quite bad news came from the city:
"The church suddenly led people to surround the Accordion Hotel!"
Now everyone does not need to think about the Bennet family for the time being. The third floor of the Accordion Hotel is now the second local base of the [Witch Council]. There are too many things there that the church cannot discover.
In other words, the entire third floor should not be discovered by the church.
The big witch who stayed in the city today was Bella. When the news reached the ship, she had already hurriedly led the girls on the third floor of the hotel to prepare for the situation.
So on the one hand, everyone on the boat sent people to quickly find Flora in the woods, and on the other hand, they asked high-level witches and ring magicians who were good at illusions to rush to the third floor of the hotel through the portal.
Shade was also on the boat at that time, so of course he went along with him. Fortunately, although the church's action was too sudden, it was not so exaggerated as to send a team of thirteen-ring warlocks to search the interior of the hotel.
In fact, all the ring warlocks who surrounded the hotel and conducted searches were affiliated with the Church of Dawn. There were thirty ring warlocks in total, among whom the highest-level ones were a twelve-ring warlock and three eleven-ring warlocks.
Some of the divine spells of the Dawn Church are indeed very suitable for breaking illusions, but the third floor of the Accordion Hotel has been run by witches for less than half a month, and it is already considered the home of the witches.
Coupled with the presence of the thirteenth-level Miss Olanold, Helen and Grace, the memory illusion prepared by Sirius was enough to be fake and real. The Dawn Church team who pushed open every door on the third floor found nothing in the end.
Discover.
What they saw was that Flora had arranged different rooms into a study, a painting room, a performance room, a dressing room and a storage room, while Flora's assistants lived in other empty rooms.
Flora, who arrived belatedly, was forced to answer some privacy questions about living here, and then underwent a covert magical examination to convince the Dawn Church team that her stay here was completely normal.
But even so, she and her female assistants were still invited to the church together with the guests living on the second and fourth floors, and obviously had to accept more detailed questioning.
After all the guests left, the chefs, accountants, and waiters working in the hotel were also taken away by the church team disguised as police, but they were taken to the Church of Nature.
The hotel, which was completely empty, did not reopen after that. Except for the main entrance, all the doors and windows on the four floors of the hotel were closed and sealed. A cordon was even put up around the hotel to prevent anyone from approaching the outer wall.
Then part of the church's combat team temporarily left, while the team responsible for reconnaissance and exploration work entered the hotel to conduct a search.
During this period, the witches also led their followers to urgently move objects on the third floor of the hotel that might identify them. Of course, the most dangerous "tree holes" were the first ones removed by Shade.
It's just that they can deceive a twelve-ring warlock with clever illusions, and Helen and Grace can still stand up to the sage-level relics that specialize in breaking illusions. But when the "Nightmare Witch" of the Church of Nature stepped down from the carriage,
"When Maria appeared, Shade knew that the illusion would not work after all.
If a fight really breaks out, this lady will definitely not be able to defeat Miss Olanold. But in such a large confined space, no one can guarantee whether she will see any clues. The "Nightmare Witch" does not need to completely crack the third floor
With the illusion, just a slight hint of something amiss might be enough to completely expose Flora.
"Sister Devlin, it's all up to you this time!"
So the nun also came to the third floor of the hotel. She had a very good relationship with the "Nightmare Witch" Ms. Maria Ingram. It was all thanks to her that she could continue to hide the secrets of the parliament this time.
"If it doesn't work, we can just blow up the third, fourth and second floors of the hotel, and then pass the responsibility on to anyone, so that the church won't be able to suspect Flora."
This was an idea provided by Vanessa, and then Shade unexpectedly found that she had the support of most people, even Luvia quite agreed. However, Shade believed that the matter was not that serious yet, and that it would not explode in broad daylight for the time being.
An iconic building located in the city center.
Currently, among all the rooms on the third floor, the room with the semi-permanent portal at the end of the corridor has the weakest illusion protection, so Sister Devlin is waiting in that room.
The "Nightmare Witch" opened the doors one by one for inspection. When she arrived at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, she opened the door and saw Sister Devlin standing in the swirling black and golden vortex.
So the thirteenth-ring female sorcerer slammed the door shut again. The expression on her face changed several times in a few seconds, and then she said to the other ring sorcerers accompanying her:
"We have already inspected the west side of the rooms on the third floor, and there seems to be no problem now. After all, there are some safety hazards when inspecting such a door. Now you go to the second and fourth floors separately to ensure that all the rooms at different heights are in the same location.
There are people in the room."
As a result, most of the inspection team following behind dispersed, and for those who remained, this lady also had a solution:
"You wait for me at the door. While I enter the room, you go to the next room, the opposite room and the corridor to monitor the situation."
Others in the team did not raise any questions, but after reopening the door, the thirteen-ring sorceress of the Church of Nature took the initiative to release the illusion to block the eyes of everyone in the corridor, and then walked towards Sister Devlin with the door open.
She looked beyond the nun and towards the huge black and golden vortex:
"It's really amazing. This is a semi-permanent portal made by witch technology? Now that the space in the material world is so unstable, I didn't expect that the witch council can still reproduce this technology."
"After the Green Lake incident, they were able to do this stably."
The nun explained softly, and Maria Ingram nodded. She understood a lot of things at once:
"So, Flora Winslet or a beautiful girl next to her is actually the Great Witch of the Witch Council? Or, Flora Winslet is actually a follower of a certain Great Witch?"
Of course Sister Devlin would not answer this question:
"Maria, why did the church search the Accordion Hotel today?"
"Defulin, not only did you not answer my questions, you actually wanted to get information from me, right?"
The sorceress said with some dissatisfaction, but seeing the nun standing there expressionless, she still gave an answer:
"This action is not against the witches. In fact, I didn't expect the witches to be so bold and put their base in the city center. This time it is a matter of the Bennet family.
In fact, today's action revolves around three local families that have existed in Ximu Town: Bennett, Fisher, and Koch. Among them, Fisher also has the title of baron, and Bennett and Koch are both in the city.
There are two people who run this hotel, and one is the president of the local loggers association.
The diviners of the Prophet's Association finally achieved a major breakthrough in divination based on the ancient events recently discovered in the city. They believe that one of the three families must have a major problem.
In addition to the Accordion Hotel, the local Woodmen's Guild, Baron Fisher's mansion and the Baron's furniture factory were all raided this afternoon. Hotel guests, officials of the Woodmen's Guild, the Baron's servants and some workers in the factory,
They will all be taken to the church for identification one by one."
The nun nodded slightly:
"The third floor of this hotel has nothing to do with what you want to investigate. Maria, please don't reveal the secrets here."
The sorceress of the Church of Nature did not agree immediately, but asked suspiciously:
"Defulin, I remember that the church asked you to help in the Vista Grove. You said you would arrive before the final battle. But now it seems that you arrived a long time ago?"
She looked at her friend carefully:
"I know you had a good relationship with the ladies in the Witch Council before, but now you have completely surrendered to them?"
Sister Devlin ignored this question. She had just received Shade's permission to exchange some information for the other party to keep secrets:
"Your goal is not wrong. Among these three families that have been well-known in the local area since the days of Ximu Town, one of them does have a big problem."
"Who is it?"
Sister Devlin shook her head:
"The other party accepted the blessing of the tree, and even the highest-level witch in the Witch Council could not see through the other party's disguise. The other party accepted the order of the ancient man in the forest, and his family has a long mission to promote the birth of the local paradox insect.
The God Caller once commented: Their family is the pigeons raised by the ancient ones."
"Godcaller?"
"Nightmare Witch" frowned slightly:
"She really knows more than all of us. Speaking of what happened last night, you should have seen it. Regarding the Godcaller, Devlin, do you want to tell me that this place is actually not
The base of the Witch Council is the base prepared by the witches for the God Summoners, right?"
Her eyes widened:
"Could it be that Flora Winslet is the Godcaller!"
Sister Devlin was expressionless and silent for two seconds. In fact, she had always been expressionless:
"Absolutely not."
The sorceress smiled easily again:
"Well, I know you won't lie. I will help you hide what's going on here. After all, we have a cooperative relationship with the [Witch Council], so there is no need to expose them. But you have to know that this time the Five Gods Church is determined
Things need to be cleared up in the city before we can fight against the army of Paradox Insects.
I can pretend I didn’t see anything, but I can’t guarantee whether anyone will be sent to search this place in the future. But Devlin, can you answer me a question?”
