Chapter 466 Speculation

Hamiti leaned against the window of the living room and looked up at the sky, gazing at the bright stars, and sighed.

The destruction of Tristram was silent, and they were like stray dogs, fleeing to Shattrath for refuge.

They have been stranded here for several days, but the Duke has never made any arrangements for them, which makes him feel uneasy.

Although they brought a lot of wealth, it is not a solution to live off the land.

"Squeak"

The bedroom door was gently opened, and a beautiful woman in silk pajamas came out, came to Hamiti's side, and opened her red lips:

"It's so late, why don't you sleep? What are you thinking about? I have seen you look worried these days.

If you have any troubles, tell me, maybe I can help you with some ideas."

The moonlight is bright, illuminating the white and crystal on the beautiful woman's chest.

"Selena, why don't you sleep either," Hamiti smiled bitterly, took his wife's hand and put it on his cheek.

"Don't be too stressed. The current predicament is brought about by this era. We just need to do what we can. Let the Lord of Fire judge everyone's fate."

Selena kissed her husband's forehead and said lovingly. She knew that her husband had not rested well for several days after everyone took the airship to the strange place in the north of the kingdom in a panic.

Our Lord may not be able to protect his believers anymore. Hamiti's heart became more bitter, but he couldn't tell anyone.

The information that the Lord of Fire was suspected of being contaminated into an evil thing should be known to the public as late as possible. He hid it from his wife because he wanted her to think that the world was not so bad.

"We saw the troops in the territory gathering this afternoon. Did something happen?"

Selena paused and said:

"From the mental outlook of the soldiers, the strength of the army in the territory should not be underestimated."

She is a third-level priest, and she still has eyesight. Although she is far away, she can also feel the strength of that army, which is even stronger than the Holy See's Crusades.

Hamiti said "hmm" and said gently:

"That unit is called Silver Dawn, it is the Duke's direct unit, and in terms of eliteness, it is indeed much stronger than the garrison of the Church.

What do you think, we settle here for a long time?"

Selena was silent for a moment, and slowly said:

"This place is very good, the special magic circle is very beneficial to the growth of extraordinary people, no wonder the quality of the troops here is so high."

The family she was born in is a small and medium-sized family rooted in the city of Bly. When Tristram was besieged by fire zombies, the archbishop did not ask for help from the Church, and she knew that something was wrong with the Church.

Her husband did not tell her the reason, and she did not ask. Now, her husband proposed to settle in this small city in the north of the kingdom. She knew that maybe they would never go back to their hometown again.

There was another silence, and the room was silent, and one could even hear the breeze blowing through the curtains at night.

Selena's voice became hoarse, and her words were lower than the night wind:

"Bishop Hamidi, can you tell me what happened in Bligh City?"

She smiled sadly and continued:

"It carries my childhood and youth, where my parents and other relatives live, it is the Church of the Lord of Fire, and it is the harbor of spiritual support for countless believers."

Hamiti closed his eyes and raised his head, sighed, and was silent for a long time.

Selena's heart kept sinking, she understood that the seriousness of the matter exceeded her worst imagination.

"Bligh City was attacked by an unknown person, the whole city."

Hamiti's voice became low: "The whole city is only a pile of rubble, gone."

"How could this happen?"

Gone? A city, and nearly a million people are all gone? My relatives are gone too?

Selena's expression was completely stagnant. Bligh City is the seat of the Kingdom's Church, with the strongest sixth-level protection array in the country. The whole city was destroyed, so what level would the perpetrator be?

She bit her lip tightly, not daring to think further.

Hamiti embraced her in his arms with pity, patting her shoulder gently:

"We are safe now, and the children are safe too."

Selina's tears could not stop flowing down, wetting her husband's clothes.

At this moment, Wellington Saxon was standing in the living room of a room not far away, looking up at the stars in the sky.

He had been standing for a long time, especially after seeing a golden light flying out of the castle, he did not leave a step.

The night of Moya Castle was like a bright moon hanging high in the sky. He saw clearly that the person flying out was Crown, the Duke of the North.

The other party suddenly went out in the middle of the night, which made him alert, because he knew that the minions under Cthulhu were heading north.

After a rough calculation, he believed that the enemy had entered the Duke's territory.

The Duke's troops had been assembled, and the Duke should lead the troops to meet the enemy.

But he felt something was wrong. Why didn't the Duke summon those who came to surrender? It is very likely that the Duke still does not trust them.

A petite maid came over with a tray on which were cheese, biscuits, small breads, some jam and a glass of red wine.

The maid put the tray on the table and said softly:

"Your Highness, it's time for a midnight snack."

Your Highness?

Hearing this word, Wellington felt a pain in his heart. Perhaps he would not be qualified to call himself His Highness in the future.

"Leave it there. I have no appetite now."

Wellington waved his hand and said:

"You go down first. I need to be quiet."

The Duke went out to meet the enemy, and he couldn't eat before he turned back.

The enemy was the minions of the evil god who had captured the city of Porto Souva. He knew very well how powerful the enemy was, and he had to wait for the results of the battle.

Not long after, he saw two golden lights flying in the sky, and he couldn't help but be startled:

'Why did you come back so soon? How was the battle going? '

His heart was lifted, waiting for the news from the Duke.

He was disappointed, and saw the Duke fly directly back to his room and never come out again.

The golden light behind was the Duke's tamed beast, a mutant big crow, and the crow flew back to its nest and there was no movement.

Wellington was numb, he couldn't know how the battle was going, but he thought it should be good, otherwise the Duke would have to recruit more high-level extraordinary people to fight.

However, he couldn't fall asleep without hearing the news in person.

The next day, Wellington, who hadn't slept all night, washed up and went out. He couldn't wait to have breakfast and wanted to meet the Duke to inquire about the situation yesterday.

The Duke had not been out for long. He expected that the enemy he encountered might be just a small scout force. There would be a fierce battle today or tonight.

Now was the time to show his ability. He had to tell the Duke clearly that the Saxon family was willing to stand with the other side and jointly stop the enemy.

As soon as he went out, he ran into Hamiti who was walking over.

"Your Highness, good morning. You are out for a walk so early."

Wellington quickly looked at him and smiled:

"I don't have the habit of getting up early for a walk. I just remembered some urgent things to discuss with the Duke."

"What a coincidence, me too."

Hamiti said, stretching out his hand to make a gesture of invitation:

"Your Highness, please, let's go together!"

The two walked side by side and soon came to the main castle and met the butler.

Hamiti bowed slightly and said gently:

"Mr. Lord, His Royal Highness Prince Wellington and I have important matters to discuss with the Duke. I wonder if Duke Crown is awake?"

It was still early, just half past six, the morning sun had not risen and the gray fog had not yet dissipated.

Lord smiled in return, and responded kindly:

"Good morning, Bishop, good morning, Your Highness. The Duke has woken up and is meditating in the quiet room, but it is inconvenient to disturb him now. Why don't you wait until after breakfast?

Or you can tell me about the matter, and I will mention it to the Duke at breakfast."

The Duke gets up at five o'clock every day, and he must have been meditating for a long time now.

Unless there is an urgent matter, no one who comes to report in the early morning will be allowed to go.

Wellington frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said in a low voice:

"Mr. Lord, I want to ask you something. Last night, I was admiring the beauty of the night sky, and suddenly saw a golden light flying away. I could vaguely see the figure of the Duke.

Based on what I saw and heard when I came here, I guess that the traces of the vanguard of the evil god's minions should have been discovered. I wonder how the battle is going?

Also, I came here this time to tell the Duke that if we face the main force of the evil god's minions, the Saxon family is willing to send out elite troops to fight alongside you.

The troops we can mobilize are: six fourth-level extraordinary people, 106 third-level extraordinary people, and more than 600 second-level extraordinary people."

Lord was suspicious. He met the Duke at five o'clock in the morning. The Duke did not say that there would be a battle today, but only told him to lift the first-level combat readiness of the troops.

He fully understood what this sentence meant.

"Your Highness, maybe you are mistaken. The Duke ended the battle last night, and there will be no war today."

"Ah?"

"Ah?"

Wellington and Hamiti exclaimed in unison.

Hamiti looked at the prince, with a very obvious questioning look in his eyes:

"Your Highness, didn't you say that a group of Crusu's minions who had captured Portosuva were coming to Hamers City by water?"

He knew the information about Portosuva City, which had the second strongest magic circle defense line in the kingdom, and the sixth-level protection magic circle was enough to keep out the sixth-level enemies.

But Portosuva City was breached. If there was no divine power involved, it would inevitably require the gathering of a large number of sixth-level extraordinary creatures.

Such a powerful enemy wanted to attack Hamers City, and its offensive would inevitably pour down with a thunderous force, not giving everyone too much reaction time.

But now, listening to the butler's tone, the matter seemed to be resolved.

Wellington was also confused. Facing Hami's inquiring eyes, he explained:

"My father told me the news. He said that among the enemies who captured Porto Suva City, there were Hydra, very tall Deep Divers, and countless high-level fishmen. He witnessed all of these with his own eyes."

He turned his head and asked:

"Mr. Lord, did His Excellency the Duke tell you the details of the battle that took place last night?"

Lord shook his head and laughed:

"Your Highness thinks too highly of me. I am just the steward of the Duke's territory. How could His Excellency the Duke explain the whole story to a small person like me?

Please go back, both of you. I will report your concerns to the Duke at breakfast time."

Wellington and the other looked at each other, bowed together, and then turned and left.

The two gradually walked away and left Lord's sight.

Harrington looked around, stopped Wellington who was deep in thought, and said:

"Your Highness, what do you think about this?

A group of evil god minions who could break through the sixth-level protective array disappeared overnight. It is absolutely impossible for a sixth-level human transcendent to do such a thing.

Unless"

"Unless the divine level comes to help," Wellington said leisurely, "Do you think Crown believes in an ancient god left in the material world?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, which also explained the reason for Crown's rapid advancement.

Wellington became quiet and said, "This speculation has a huge impact. You and I will not spread it for the time being."

"I know," Hamiti glanced around and said:

"Let's not mention the war for now. Your Highness, will the royal family decide to take root in Shattrath City in the future?"

"Yes, we have no choice. Cthulhu's minions are like a flood, and they will soon invade the areas originally controlled by the family."

Wellington paused, then suddenly slapped his forehead and continued:

"I will write a letter immediately and tell my father what happened today."

After saying that, he strode away.

If Crown has the backing of a god, things get complicated.

Hamiti stared at the other person's back and murmured:

"There is another even more shocking speculation. There is no god standing behind the Duke, but he himself has become a god."

His eyes were unfocused, and he seemed to be frightened by his own guess.

Divine level, also known as Holy Soul Gold. The body structure of extraordinary creatures that advance to this level is completely different from that of their original race.

However, he did not find any special marks on the Duke, which overturned his guess.

‘Is there a possibility that the stigmata revealed by the Duke’s advancement to the divine level does not appear on the face or other conspicuous places like other gods? ’

He shook his head violently. The more he thought about it, the more untrue he felt. How old was the Duke? Only thirty.

If you want to advance to Stigma Gold, you have to practice for another twenty years before you have the chance!

On the road of transcendence, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

After the silver level, if you want to advance to the next big level, it will take at least several years and careful preparations, because there are too many precious materials that need to be purchased.

For a human transcendent to advance from the sixth level to Stigmata Gold, the shortest record requires more than ten years. It was created by the Nemesis of the previous era.

No matter how talented the Duke is, can he compare to the Furies?

Hamiti shook his head and stopped thinking about things that were completely incomprehensible to him. Instead, he took a deep breath to calm down his excitement.

He quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the house where he was staying temporarily. He wanted to tell his wife the news from last night.

A new god will definitely arouse his wife's interest. If he can become a new support in his wife's heart, he will be very grateful.
