Throne of Magical Arcana - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: The Inquiry of the Church

Lucien wondered why the viscount was speaking in the tone of a senior and elder person, after all, Carendia was still very good-looking and energetic, but by the fact that the viscount could sense the young power of life made Lucien guess that the noble might be a powerful vampire, since the sensitivity toward life power was especially known as an unique advantage of this bloodthirsty race.

"Well, that’s too bad, but I’m sure that you will definitely enjoy the gathering." The viscount handed him the invitation, "Here’s yours, Mr. Professor."

"I appreciate it." Lucien stood up and bowed slightly, "I think it’s time for me to leave now. It’s pretty late. Forgive me for coming over at such a late hour."

After Lucien left, the old steward, Nied, asked his lord with a confused look, "My lord, why you allowed him to join the gathering? Forgive me… I mean… can we really be certain that he’s the Professor just based on that one single strange spell?"

"The ring?" asked Nied.

"Then it’s even more confusing to me that you, my lord, allowed him to attend the gathering." The old steward looked surprised, "The Will of Elements and the Hand of Paleness are…"

"What do you feel about the spell Professor just showed, Amores?"

...

It was a spell which could create a special zone of darkness. People inside the dark zone could see the outside very well, while people outside could not tell what was in the darkness.
In the guest room, Lucien took off the ring given by Natasha and hid it safely

. Then, he burned down Hunt’s invitation before going to bed.

In the morning of the following day, they left the castle, heading for Korsor.

Unlike what Betty imaged with knight training, the procedures were actually quite boring and painstaking, and even Joanna and Simon who were also listening to Lucien’s instruction felt hard to handle it. However, out of their admiration for Mr. Evan’s great power, they knew that they should stick to the training.

"When we report to the Church… " Simon said to Lucien a bit emotionally, "the legend of Baron Habearo will fall."

...

In the confessionary of the local church, after checking all of Lucien’s documents, Arnold, a level three bishop from Korsor, smiled to Lucien, "It’s hard to imagine that the talented musician, Lucien Evans, is also a powerful knight… very surprising…"

"My Blessing came from the potion that the princess rewarded me, but I don’t have any noble title." Lucien slightly shook his head, "And I don’t think I could even have survived this time against the baron and the necromancer if I did not have the sword and the powerful items given by the princess, not to mention killing them."

As soon as the pastors in Wolftown heard Lucien and his guards’ report on what happened in Baron Habearo’s castle, they were completely shocked and immediately sent their message birds to inform the cathedral in Korsor. Then, by using some kind of divine portal, the level three bishop, Arnold, together with his two pastors and four night watchers came to Wolftown to meet, or, in other words, to inquire about the baron’s case.

Now, the last part of the bishop’s work was to write a report on how Lucien killed the baron and the necromancer to the cardinal of the Duchy of Djibouti.

"Sure," answered Lucien. He reached out his left hand and introduced to the bishop, "This is the ring that can shoot frost blades. And this is the bracelet… it is where the fire balls and the fire shield came from."

Seeing that Lucien was not going to take off the ring and the bracelet, the bishop also did not bother asking. Arnold just checked the two items from a distance with his waves of faith, which was basically the same thing as spiritual power, to see if the power inside was according to Lucien’s words.

"Umm… Early stage of the War of Dawn… should be the style from that period of time." Arnold’s eyes lit up a bit instantly when he saw the amulet, "I guess only families with long history like the Violet family are able to possess them."

"I see the coat of arms on the sword, yes." Arnold nodded. He checked them again and then said to Lucien, "Well… I think we’re all set here. I sense that the night watchers are back, and after our verification, you’ll be good to go, Mr. Evans."

Ten minutes later, the bishop came back with smile, "No problem. Everything’s clear now, Mr. Evans, although it’s quite a pity that the necromancer’s lab had been burned down by your fire balls during the fight, or we could find more information."

"And this is a reward from the Church. If it had not been for your brave fight, Mr. Evans, more innocent lives in Fogtown would suffer. You’re a great contributor to the purity of the Church. And you’re good to go now, Mr. Evans." The bishop handed Lucien a cross-shaped brooch, which was not a real divine item, but just a common gift for acknowledging Lucien’s merit.

...

Camil opened the door of the basement slowly without making any noise and entered the room. When she saw the princess, who was dressing pure black, kneeling on the floor and praying silently, Camil almost burst out tears.

"What can I do for you, Your Grace?" Camil took a deep breath and walked to Natasha.

"Yes, as you wish." Camil handed the materials to the princess.

...

"We need to head for the Musicians’ Association now." Wise and Mars said to Lucien and his guards, "You’re welcome to visit us any time you want, Mr. Evans."

"Not a problem." Wise and Mars grinned.
