Chapter 515: Countdown to Lanqi and Talia's Mutual Destruction
A giant country on the west side of the central part of the southern continent.
The Kingdom of Canberra is the leader in comprehensive national power among the kingdoms on the southern continent, and it is also a kingdom that has remained neutral for many years.
Both the Southern Continent Movie World Management Association and the Card Creators Association are headquartered in the Kingdom of Canberra.
Its scale is even much larger than the Hutton Kingdom, a large country on the east coast of the central part of the southern continent.
South of the Royal Capital of Canberra, the Kingdom's United Parliament Chamber is located here. Its magnificence seems to challenge the sky itself.
The ceiling in the tower building is high and decorated with complex hollow patterns. Through these exquisite openings, sunlight shines down and turns into countless golden lines that weave the space itself. The walls are inlaid with mosaics, depicting the glorious history of the United Parliament of the Kingdom. .
On the top floor was a closed space filled with barriers and metal gates. Several figures were sitting in front of a round table.
The surface in the center of the round table is as smooth as a mirror, as if inlaid with a chessboard, reflecting every ray of light in the room.
"How should we investigate?"
The air is filled with contemplation, and everyone sitting here has a serious, focused, and even nervous expression on their face.
They include permanent members of the United Kingdom Parliament, as well as representatives of associations, churches, and societies.
"In any case, the cardinal coming from the northern continent has brought real turmoil. The southern part of the Hutton Kingdom where he is located has been directly attacked by the Resurrection Church. It is difficult to say that this cardinal has no connection with this attack. "
"We must understand what his conspiracy is and have even a little bit of information about him."
The gazes of the congressmen circulated among each other, as if they were searching for each other's positions and ideas in silent communication.
The star chessboard in the center of the table is an ancient artifact that can interact with the papal authority passed down by the Resurrection Church from ancient times and determine the general location of all cardinals.
In addition, its essence is a magical device with astrological properties. Every more than a year, it reflects the energy gathered by the stars and can perform divination without the need for an astrologer.
Although its own divination results can only show vague sand paintings on the star sand, it can eventually lock in more or less information without any clues.
Its divination effect on the "future" may not be accurate, and its divination on the "present" can easily be deceived. Only the divination on the "past" will be more accurate, but the time difference cannot be too long, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the more complex the problem itself, the more ambiguous the divination results will be.
Today, the core members of the Kingdom's United Parliament decided to use their divination abilities to detect information about the new cardinal from the northern continent.
Yesterday's terrorist attack allowed them to finally determine the danger of the new cardinal.
After discussion, they determined the direction of divination——
They wanted to see the most crucial scene of the past few days for the new cardinal.
Maybe we can find out the whole story of the attack on the southern part of Hutton Kingdom!
"Let's start the divination first. If everyone has no objections, let's try divination based on this."
"No."
Everyone responded.
Under the control of the Speaker, the flowing halo formed by the star sand in the center of the Star Luo chessboard flows on the mirror. The pupils of all the core members are reflected in pure white, as if they are surrounded by the power of the stars, trying their best. See the truth first.
In the end, the light blue star sand gradually condensed and took shape, turning into a vague sand painting.
The members of the House of Representatives all stood up.
He frowned and looked at the center of the round table.
"This is……"
"ah?"
On the sand painting shown on the Xingluo chessboard, there seemed to be three people. They were entangled together like three strands of rope, and they couldn't see their true appearance at all, and they didn't even know what they were doing.
"What on earth is this doing?"
Some people blushed, as if they thought the new cardinal was doing something shameless.
The Speaker hurriedly coughed twice to ease the extremely awkward atmosphere in the parliament hall.
"No matter what, let's reprint this star sand painting into an ordinary sand painting and make it public as an art painting to some media channels of the United Kingdom Council. If anyone has any information, please contact us in time. In order not to cause panic, Don’t reveal yet that this painting is actually information related to the new cardinal.”
The Speaker looked at the painting solemnly and said.
It can be roughly distinguished from the lines on the star sand painting that the male figure is at the bottom, while the figures riding on the top and sandwiched in the middle are all slender female figures.
After listening, the members gradually nodded and agreed with the speaker's idea.
"The new cardinal must be a man with a very confused relationship between men and women."
In short, they still came to this conclusion.
"We may have to send professionals to the Kingdom of Hutton to investigate. Based on the clues of this painting alone, I'm afraid we still can't find the identity of the cardinal."
The speaker's firm tone made no secret of his determination to catch the cardinal.
Originally, there were five bishops in the southern continent and five bishops in the northern continent, which were still able to balance.
Half a year ago, after the battle between the Bishop of Destruction and the Dimensional Bishop, the Dimensional Bishop disappeared for a period of time in the Southern Continent and returned again a few days ago. Not only that, but an unidentified Cardinal came to the Northern Continent.
Now there are six bishops in the Southern Continent.
Coupled with the movements of the Creation Empire, the pressure on the United Council of the Southern Continent Kingdom is now huge.
"I'll go."
At this time, a figure covered in light gold heavy armor sitting at a corner of the round table raised his hand.
The last time the high-level priests of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny were assessed in the high-dimensional observation space, the Paladin was very worried about the mental state of his close friend Loren. He felt that his condition was not good and he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
As expected, Loren encountered a fierce battle yesterday.
Because the distance between the Kingdom of Canbella and the Kingdom of Hutton is extremely long, the Kingdom of Canbella is in the west of the southern continent, and the Kingdom of Hutton is in the easternmost part of the southern continent, so the ultra-long-distance communication magic between the two countries needs to switch to the stations of several countries, and it is difficult to contact each other at ordinary times.
And if you want to go to Hutton Kingdom to see Loren in person, the journey is even longer, and it is difficult to take a long vacation. Now there is such an opportunity to go to Hutton Kingdom on a business trip.
"..."
The Speaker stared at the Paladin of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny in a daze. He did not expect that the Paladin would be so determined to take on such a dangerous task.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
The Speaker solemnly asked the Paladin.
"Yes."
The Paladin leader secretly clenched his fist.
My dear friend, I'm here.
...
At the same time.
In the Kingdom of Hutton, the capital of Ikerite.
At this time, the Cat Boss Restaurant was not the peak dining time, and there were few customers.
Planai stood behind the bar and wiped the glass leisurely.
Suddenly.
He covered his eyes with one hand, as if his head was tingling.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Sinora hurried over and handed over a glass of water, asking with concern.
She felt that her brother's face turned a little pale, as if he had seen something terrible.
But this morning they had just returned from the Nanwantina Territory to escort the dangerous thing, the Decayed Alchemy Beast. Planai had done the most. It was normal for Planai to be tired just after returning to the capital and pretending that nothing happened yesterday and continuing to work normally.
"Intermittent clairvoyance, I can't control this rudimentary magic now."
Planai gently took the water cup, shook his head, and used the magic sound transmission that only Shinora could hear to indicate to Shinora that he was fine.
Afterwards, Planai took a special look at Antanas.
Thank goodness.
Antanas didn't notice him.
In fact, his clairvoyance seemed to have interfered with the divination spell that was launched from nowhere, allowing him to see a scene that might change the node of the world line.
However.
He actually——
The three figures of the king, Hyperion and Talia were entangled on the ground!
For a moment, Planai suspected that his clairvoyance was broken.
He was still sweating coldly.
He must not let anyone know that he knew.
Otherwise, he would not survive even if he had ten thousand lives!
Planai would take this matter to his tombstone.
Planai made up his mind secretly.
"Huh..."
Then he breathed a sigh of relief and continued to take care of the restaurant store, preparing for the peak period at noon.
Fortunately, Talia could not read minds.
According to the ancient books of the demon world he knew, the demons' innate mind-reading skills might uncontrollably speak out what they read during the evolution process, just like his unfinished clairvoyance, which would be accompanied by some side effects when triggered intermittently.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, regardless of whether Pranay can survive, the king might really die with Talia.
