Duke An's voice seemed to come from his belly, a humming mechanical voice saying: "No, you are not qualified."

"Do you know who I am?"

"..."

"Your Majesty, are you asleep?"

Duke An was obviously stunned for a moment, his stiff body made a small swing, and he said in a lifeless voice: "You are the Archpope of the Church of the Dawn, the Chosen One of Lathander. I don't like too much conversation, so Tell me your purpose."

"Very good, it seems that your basic consciousness is still clear, and you have not been controlled by Nunalia." Puff did not go beyond asking about Duke An's strange situation. After all, strong people have always been weird, and this is not a big deal. The question, she said directly, "I just want to know who is Miss Clintina's biological mother?"

"A beautiful woman, she is my cousin and my playmate since I was a child. She is kind and gentle, but she has never been in good health." Duke An's voice, which was already slightly mechanical and dry, seemed to gradually fade away in some pleasant memories. He softened and said, "Her name is Felicia. We have loved each other since childhood and successfully got married more than 20 years ago."

"Later we gave birth to a child, she was Clintina, the apple of my eye, my everything. But Felicia's body was too weak. After giving birth to Clintina, she became weaker and weaker. Then one day, she died quietly and slept quietly among the flowers."

Duke An pointed to the grass on the edge of the cliff behind the tower. It was the only area not covered by ice and snow, and still contained the breath of life.

He said: "Felicia's tombstone is there. You are the Pope of Dawn. Even in the forbidden realm, you have strong perception. You can feel the same origin as Clintina from that land. breath."

Puff walked to the wet grass. Her powerful perception allowed her to quickly detect an aura that was somewhat similar to Clintina's. The blood and soul fluctuations of a mother and a daughter could not be faked. It seemed to be I am suspicious.

Lathander gave herself the ability to detect lies without warning.

Duke An's voice returned to the mechanical indifference: "Is that enough? Mr. Pope, I have told you a lot. You should not stay here for too long. There are too many eyes waiting outside the Duke's Palace. Holding you."

Puff said simply: "I understand that since Miss Clindina is your blood descendant, most of the church's doubts have been broken. According to the covenant made thousands of years ago, the Church of Dawn will firmly support Miss Clindina. and provide her with the highest level of protection.”

Nunalia urged: "Okay, let's go, I don't want to stay with you for too long."

"Okay, Madam Nunalia." Puff suddenly approached Nunalia and she said softly, "From now on, Miss Clintina will also be protected by the Duke's Palace, and your suspicion has not been cleared yet. .”

Puff's fingers gently pressed on the skin of Nunalia's back neck, and felt the dim Baal emblem: "I'm sorry, the church still doubts you, and suspects that you may be interested in Clindina. What to do, Miss - this is a judgment based on your past style.”

Nunalia said disdainfully: "It's a boring guess. My rule has become visible to the naked eye and cannot be shaken. There is no need to go any further. She is just my best tool for rule. I will cherish my toy extremely."

"That's best. I think it won't be long before the relationship between you and Barr will be completely cleared. At that time, we can celebrate in private as friends, and all the haze shrouding Midden Territory will disappear."

Before leaving at the end, Puff still whispered in the smallest voice in his personal capacity: "Be careful, Liya, the Grand Inquisitor has gone to Binglin Valley to look for your evidence, I have no reason to stop him, and He also never recognized my acquiescence in your collusion with the Baal Order."

"Tsk, let him go, again, at your own risk." Nunalia said arrogantly, "If he is not wise enough, then the Church of the Dawn should change to a Grand Inquisitor who listens to you."

Chapter 298: Richard completely lost contact

After Pope Puff left, Duke An and Nunalia were the only ones left in the backyard.

Duke An suddenly strangled his neck with his hand, pointed at Nunalia with the other hand, and said mechanically: "Clintina...the son of Baal...protect...you...you...can't...betray ——”

His words were intermittent, the golden pupils in his eyes flashed with a dazzling red light, and his huge body gradually began to shake, as if it had reached its limit.

Duke An seemed to want to pull out the giant sword, but suddenly he trembled like an electric shock. He stood frozen in place for a long time, and then seemed like a puppet that had lost all its energy. His limbs were drooping, and his head was hanging on his neck like a pendant.

The red blood light behind the helmet gradually extinguished, and he seemed to be dead.

"Ha, how dare you come to order me as an empty shell?" Nunalia looked at him with disgust and waved her hand, "Go back to your tower now, you are no longer useful."

Duke An seemed to have completely turned into a puppet without soul and consciousness. His limbs were stiff and weird and he slowly walked into the tower.

Nunalia sat alone on the grass, slowly recalling Puff's reminders and warnings, frowning, and broke off a few pieces of grass.

She took out the same magic bell as Mrs. Eve - the one that Richard asked for from Mrs. Eve, and shook it gently.

The magic bell created by Lathander can overcome most magical obstacles and ring the bell simultaneously.

Nunalia waited quietly for Richard's response. After waiting for about half an hour, she couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

Could something go wrong?

Could it be that the Dawn Judges who went to Ice Rin Valley had a conflict with the common people?

But an hour later, Nunalia finally waited for a reply.

Three crisp bells echoed in the air, which meant that Richard had encountered a little trouble, but it could be solved.

Nunalia immediately shook the bell twice more, and Richard on the other side responded twice as well. It seemed that everything had been perfectly resolved.

But Puff's reminder still made Nunalia feel the danger signal.

"Rangers! Instruct all rangers who are on annual leave to regroup immediately." Nunalia said to the head maid who came back, "Let them lurk outside the Ice Valley, waiting for my orders at any time!"

Without any questioning, the head maid skillfully wrote the order for Nunalia and stamped it with Nunalia's seal.

Nunalia said vaguely: "Are those people ready?"

The head maid said softly: "Of course, they are willing to die for you at any time."

"Let them disperse around the Binglin Valley and monitor the entire Northern Xinjiang Corridor and the Dawn Priest and any suspicious persons around the Binglin Valley. The temporary command will be handed over to... to Richard, if you can meet him."

"I always feel that some gods are going to make some big moves." Nunalia looked up at the sky, and the rising morning light was a bit dazzling.

She squinted her eyes and muttered to herself: "If I remember correctly, the war between Lathander and Baal seems to have reached a fever pitch. Many gods have been involved, and several bottomless abyss have been shattered. "

----

In the dungeon, everything is running fine.

Aka is sitting on his city lord's throne, overlooking the orderly city below, feeling a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

The only unpleasant thing was that Richard took another long trip without visiting him at all.

Thinking of this, Aka felt waves of resentment and anger.

"Naya, is there no one in the manor anymore?"

"Yes, brother-in-law... the city lord took away all the girls, even Mrs. Eve."

Aka had no expression on his face but clenched his hands and said, "I brought Mrs. Eve with me. I think I'm going to have a pleasant vacation and form a group to spend the warm winter festival together."

"Are you anxious?" Naya asked looking at Aka's fist.

"no!"

"Well, no."

Aka asked: "Is there anything worth noting recently?"

Naya thought for a moment and replied: "Mrs. Nunalia takes care of the money and daily necessities; the population and labor force, the orc boys and the foreign races work hard; the mines can't be dug at all; the magic network is running well, and the tomb The garden is getting more and more terrifying, and the snake demons are multiplying steadily. It’s not a big deal, it seems that the only thing that’s worth noting is that you, the city lord, are short of a man.”

Aka stared at Naya and said, "Can't you stop teasing me in different ways?"

Naya Youyanbujin said: "I'm sorry, I just can't help it. I'll be careful next time."

"Naya, something happened!" The shadow's voice suddenly came, and she emerged from the shadow, a little anxious, "I can't feel the contract with the master anymore!"

Aka immediately asked: "Has this happened before?"

"there has never been!"

"Where are the other contractors?"

"I'm here." The snake demon Nasha also fell from a height at this time. She was accompanied by Lili Nu and the astral stone man Art, both of whom were bound summoned creatures by Richard.

Seeing that Nasha and Lilinu came to the city lord's mansion at the same time, Aka also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Richard may have really lost contact!

Aka tried his best to stay calm and asked: "Can you feel the breath of life?"

Lilinu said: "Okay, he's not dead yet, but he can't be contacted anyway. It's like he was exiled outside the Ashe continent."

"I remember that the city lord's destination is Binglin Valley, sent by Lady Nunalia." Aka pondered, and suddenly gritted his teeth, "I will go and meet Lady Nunalia directly, she must know something!"

Naya reminded: "Aka, let's bypass my brother-in-law and contact Winter City directly, is that okay?"

"But there is no better way." Aka took a deep breath and said, "As the relationship between the upper and lower cities becomes increasingly closer, there is always a need for a head-on dialogue, but this day has been brought forward."

"I can only hope that the lady has something in mind."

Chapter 299 The Disappearance of the Grand Consul

"Mr. Richard, you are in a daze again. What are you thinking about?"

"Ah, I was just reassuring the girls in the dungeon. The connection between us was suddenly disconnected, but it soon recovered. It was just a common space fluctuation."

Mrs. Eve's words woke up Richard who was deep in thought. He had been alone in the attic room for a long time.

The magic bell paired with Nunalia's hand made a slight crisp sound, indicating that everything was safe.

Just now, Richard suddenly found that his connection with Shadow, Nasha and other bound summoned creatures was interrupted, but it was quickly restored.

After expressing through some special soul wave techniques that neither party was in danger, the girls in the dungeon may have put down their worries.

Richard held the Mystic Lock Scepter tightly and felt his position in the Midden Territory. Binglin Valley was still under the protection of the Great Mystic Lock, and there was no difference.

The astral dungeon is still within his range of perception, and the astral flames he left in various places in Warm Winter City are still burning faintly in unknown corners.

As long as you are willing, you can still quickly teleport back to Nuan Dong City at a certain cost.

So far, except for a few minor glitches, everything is working fine.

Richard's inner doubts were gradually dispelled.

Everything works fine, that's almost certainly it.

Richard looked at Mrs. Eve in front of him and gently touched the side of her face. The familiar and real touch could not be faked.

As the saint of Lathander, Lady Eve has all the abilities to break illusions, and it is impossible for Baal's large-scale divine magic to deceive her.

As long as Mrs. Eve is by his side, everything will be normal.

Everything is fine, yes, everything is fine.

Mrs. Eve said in a strange tone: "Magic bells, it turns out you asked me for a pair and gave them to Mrs. Nunnalia."

"Ah, it was just an accident." Richard tried to excuse him.

It's just that Nunalia has always been worried about the bell, and Richard was really annoyed, so he asked Mrs. Eve for one.

And the bells made by Lathander himself are indeed very useful. They can penetrate everything and break any false synchronized bells. They are perfect for making Nunalia shake people.

Mrs. Eve bit her lip and said softly: "It's okay, I don't mind, really."

Richard looked at Mrs. Eve and suddenly asked, "But madam, where are the bells on your body?"

Mrs. Eve said distressedly: "Ah, because I came with you, I seem to have left it at home."

"This isn't like you."

Mrs. Eve murmured: "It's not because we can suddenly take risks together, so we are so excited. But what we are going to do next, to tell you the truth, as a saint, I know some secrets that other Dawn priests don't. If If you want to fight, it can be very effective."
