“Yelach, the situation doesn’t look good!

The Elemental fluctuations of the Fire Series just now were violent, and that loud noise seemed to be someone releasing a forbidden spell.

Judging by the direction of the sound, the battlefield isn’t far from us.

This is the territory of the Alpha Kingdom, and I’m afraid that the person who acted is more likely to be a foe than a friend!”

Bishop Josip said, worried.

From his tone, it wasn’t hard to hear his resentment towards the Alpha Kingdom.

If the relationship between them hadn’t been so bad, they wouldn’t have had to sneak over here under the guise of pirates.

“Don’t worry, just from the noise, you can tell, that forbidden spell wasn’t weak.

I fear it’s beyond what an ordinary Sanctuary powerhouse could release.

Such a power isn’t easy to find across the entire continent.

If the Alpha Kingdom had such foundations, they would have shown it when the Orcs invaded.

I guess if you gathered all the kingdom’s Fire Series Magicians together and used the power of a Magic Formation, perhaps you could release a forbidden spell of this level.

But we all know that when it comes to Magic Formations, more is not always better.

With too many magicians gathered, how could the main mage possess such strong spiritual power to control it?

Perhaps a Witch or a Demon angered a Sanctuary Divine Beast, sparking this huge battle.

However, a Fire Series Sanctuary divine beast appearing in the sea is indeed rare!”

Yelach had just finished speaking when he realized something was amiss.

The human race powerhouses of the Alpha Kingdom might not have the ability to release a forbidden spell alone, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t powerhouses of that level.

Exchanging a glance, they both simultaneously suspected Hudson.

There was no helping it; as the Fourth Dragon Knight of the Continent, he was like a bright lamp in the dark night, with no place to hide.

A Fire Series magical beast wouldn’t run off to sea unless it was out of its mind.

The only exception is a Giant Dragon, favored too much by the Creator God, allowing them to roam freely through the land, sea, and air.

“Looks like we’ll have to be careful with the next part of the mission.

If the Dragon Knight gets involved, we might not all make it out safe.

This is still their home field after all, no one knows the Sea Area of Poison Dragon Island better than those locals.

It’s a pity the people of Alpha are too hostile towards us; otherwise, with their cooperation, this operation would truly be secure!”

Bishop Josip sighed.

They might be able to handle a single Dragon Knight, but if the enemy has come looking for them, there’s no way they came alone.

Since they’re currently disguised as pirates, even if the Kingdom of Alpha wipes them out as pirates, the Clergy can’t really say anything.

“Let’s just complete the mission!

If someone hadn’t taken the cursed relic from Poison Dragon Island, we wouldn’t even know that guy died here.

Once we find the Holy Sword of Light and the Staff of Glory, with the Divine Artifacts, we can exert the power of the Sanctuary as well.

If we do run into Hudson, if we can’t beat a Giant Dragon, can’t we beat him, a fragile knight?

Of course, it would be best if we could avoid any complications.

Once the mission is completed, we’ll wait and watch for a few days before leaving.

With the war situation on the Northern Continent being so severe, Hudson can’t possibly stay here indefinitely.”

Yelach said fiercely.

Who could have imagined that among the three Divine Artifacts symbolizing divine authority, the Holy Crown, the Holy Sword of Light, and the Staff of Glory, two had ended up scattered, and only impostors remained on Holy Mountain?

This involves a dark chapter in Clergy’s history, and everyone keeps silent about it, except for the upper echelons of the Clergy; all other knowledgeable people have been silenced.

The information can be embargoed, but the artifacts must be retrieved.

The Lord of the Dawn personally bestowed these treasures, which are not merely Divine Artifacts but also symbols of legitimacy.

In order to retrieve the artifacts, the Clergy has been following leads up until now.

Along the way, many clues have been gathered, but the items have not been found.

This operation too is like grasping at straws.

Whether the Divine Artifacts are truly on Poison Dragon Island, no one can say for sure.

But for the Clergy, even the slimmest chance must be pursued.

Otherwise, one day, if the global situation changes and the nations realize the Divine Artifacts in their hands are fake, it could lead to chaos.

Savage Beard, having secretly overheard the two’s conversation, was now pale-faced with fright.

Normally, discussing such highly confidential matters would involve at least a Magic Barrier!

The ship’s area is only so big; people coming and going is inevitable.

Neglecting even the most basic discretion, there is only one explanation—it’s a sure thing that they can keep a secret.

Is there anyone better at keeping a secret than a dead person?

Perhaps it’s not just death; even the soul might be destroyed, completely eliminating the possibility of a leak.

Even though Savage Beard had guessed that the Clergy might silence him, confirming it still left him deeply troubled.

If it were any other treasure or fate, he could possibly seize it for himself, using it as capital to turn his life around.

A Divine Artifact symbolizing the legitimacy of the Clergy is too hot to handle; even if gifted to him, Savage Beard wouldn’t dare touch it.

Once involved with such an item, even if he were reduced to ashes, the Clergy would dig him up.

Having a major power’s protection wouldn’t help.

If the Clergy really wanted to kill a “pirate,” no power would stand up for him.

Submitting a credential wouldn’t help; his importance isn’t enough to make others confront the Clergy.

…

Back on the ship, Hudson had used replenishing Magic Power as an excuse to hide in the cabin and study the captured ghost.
