Chapter 515 – Ranki and Talia’s Countdown to the Same Death
The giant country on the west side of the center of the Southern Continent.
The Kingdom of Cambella was the best in terms of overall national power amongst the group of kingdoms on the Southern Continent, and was also a kingdom that had remained neutral for many years.
Both the South Continent Shadow World Management Association and the Card Maker Association’s headquarters were located in the Cambella Kingdom.
Its scale was even much larger than the Houghton Kingdom, a large country in the central east coast of the southern continent.
South of the Cambella Royal Capital, the Kingdom Joint Council Chamber was located here, and its grandeur seemed to challenge the sky itself.
The ceilings within the tower building were soaring and decorated with intricate openwork patterns, and through these delicate openings, sunlight poured down, transforming into countless golden lines that wove the space itself, and the walls were inlaid with mosaics depicting the glorious history of the Kingdom’s United Council.
On the highest floor a confined space covered in knots and metal gates, several figures were sitting in front of a round table.
The surface in the center of the round table was smooth as a mirror, as if inlaid with an astrolabe, reflecting every beam of light in the room.
“How shall we explore?”
Contemplation filled the air, and each person sitting here wore a serious, focused, even nervous expression on their face.
They included the resident members of the Joint Council of Kingdoms, as well as representatives of associations, churches, societies, and others.
“Regardless, the cardinal from the northern continent has brought about a truly tumultuous and disturbing situation, and with the southern part of his kingdom of Houghton being attacked head-on by the Church of the Resurrection, it’s hard to say that there is no connection between this cardinal and this attack.”
“It is imperative to find out what his plot is, and what even the slightest bit of information there is about him.”
The councillors’ eyes darted between each other, as if searching for each other’s positions and ideas in a silent exchange.
The astrological chessboard in the center of the table was an ancient divine artifact, capable of sensing the pontifical authority inherited by the Church of the Resurrection from ancient times, and determining the approximate location of all the cardinals at the same time.
In addition to that, its essence was a magical device with astrological attributes, and every year or so, reflecting the energy gathered by the stars, it could carry out a divination without the need for an astrologer.
Although the results of the divination could only be seen as vague sand drawings on the star sand, it was still able to pinpoint more or less information without any clues.
Its divination of the “future” may not be accurate, and its divination of the “present” can easily be deceived, and only its divination of the “past” will be more accurate, but the time difference cannot be too long, otherwise its accuracy will be greatly reduced. However, the time difference should not be too long, otherwise the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
In addition, the more complicated the question itself is, the more ambiguous the divination result will be.
Today, the core members of the United Kingdom Council decided to use their divination ability to find out information about the new Cardinal from the North Continent.
Yesterday’s terrorist attack had allowed them to finally determine the hazards of the new Cardinal.
After deliberation, they determined the direction of divination-
They wanted to see the most crucial scene for the new Cardinal in the past few days.
Perhaps it would lead to the beginning and end of the attack on Houghton Kingdom South!
“Let’s start the divination first, and if there are no objections, this is how we will attempt it.”
“No.”
Everyone responded.
Under the Speaker’s manipulation, the flowing halo of light transformed from the star sand at the center of the Star Luo Chessboard flowed across the mirror, and the pupils of all the core councilors were reflected in pure white, as if they were all surrounded by the greatness of the stars, in an attempt to be the first to witness the truth.
Eventually the pale blue star sand gradually coalesced and took shape, turning into a blurry sand painting.
The House Members all stood up.
With furrowed brows, they looked at the center of the round table.
“This is ……”
“Huh?”
Only to see what appeared to be three people on the sand painting presented by the Star Luo board, they were entangled like three strands of rope twisted in a twist, and it was impossible to see their real faces or even know what they were doing.
“What the hell is this doing?”
Some people blushed as they watched, as if they felt that the new Cardinal was doing something unashamed.
The Speaker hastily coughed dryly twice to ease the atmosphere that was becoming extremely awkward in this council chamber.
“In any case, let’s first reprint this Star Sand Sand Painting as a normal sand painting and publicize it as an art painting to some of the channeled media of the Kingdom’s Joint Council, and if there are any people who know about it, please contact us in a timely manner, and in order not to cause panic, don’t disclose the information that this painting is in fact related to the new Cardinal just yet.”
The Speaker looked at the painting with a grave expression and said.
The lines on the star sand painting were roughly recognizable as a male figure at the bottom, while the ones riding at the top and being sandwiched in the middle were both slender female figures.
The councilors listened and gradually nodded their heads in agreement with the Speaker’s thoughts.
“The new Cardinal must be a man with a very confused relationship between men and women.”
All in all, they still came to such a conclusion.
“We may still have to send professionals to the Houghton Kingdom to investigate before we can do so, I’m afraid that we still won’t be able to find out the identity of that cardinal just based on the clues of this one painting.”
The Speaker’s resolute tone did not hide his determination to definitely catch that Cardinal out.
Originally, with five bishops in the southern continent and five bishops in the northern continent, there was still a balance.
Half a year ago, after the destruction of the bishop and the bishop of the secondary bishop war, the secondary bishop in the southern continent disappeared for a period of time, some time ago and again returned, more than that, the northern continent and then came with an unknown cardinal. Now there are six bishops in the southern continent.
Together with the movements of the Keruiyin Empire, the pressure on the South Continent Kingdom Joint Council is immense.
“I’ll go.”
At that moment, a figure covered in light gold heavy armor sitting at the corner of the round table raised his hand.
The last time the Goddess of Fate Church’s high-ranking cleric examination was in the high-dimensional observation space, the Paladin Chief had been worried about his dear friend Loren’s mental state, feeling that he was in a bad state, and there was always an ominous premonition in his heart.
As expected, Loren suffered a vicious battle yesterday.
Since the Kingdom of Cambella and the Kingdom of Houghton were extremely far away by road, the Kingdom of Cambella was in the western part of the southern continent’s map, while the Kingdom of Houghton was in the easternmost part of the southern continent, so the ultra-long-distance communication magic between the two countries needed to switch the stations of several countries, and it would have been difficult to get in touch on a normal basis.
And if you want to personally move to Houghton Kingdom to see Loren, the road is even more distant, it is difficult to take a long vacation, now there is just such an opportunity to go to Houghton Kingdom on an official business trip.
“……”
The Speaker looked at this Paladin Leader of the Church of the Goddess of Fate in a daze, not realizing that the Paladin Leader would be so adamant about taking on such a dangerous mission…
“Then I’m counting on you.”
The Speaker asked the Paladin Leader solemnly.
“Uh-huh.”
The Paladin Leader clenched his fist darkly.
My dear friend, I’m coming.
……
Meanwhile.
The Kingdom of Houghton, the royal capital of Ichorite.
At this time, the Cat Boss Restaurant was not the peak time for dining, and the customers were sparse.
Pranay stood behind the bar leisurely polishing glasses.
Suddenly.
He covers his eyes with one hand as if his mind is tingling.
“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
Sinora rushed over to hand over a glass of water and asked with concern.
She felt that her brother’s face became a little pale, like he had seen something terrible.
However, this morning they had just returned from escorting that dangerous thing, the Decaying Alchemy Beast, from the South Vantina Collar, and Pranay had contributed the most, and having just returned to the royal capital and having to pretend that nothing had happened yesterday and continue working as normal, it was normal that Pranay would be tired.
“Intermittent clairvoyance, I can’t control this fledgling magic right now.”
Pranay gently took the glass of water and shook his head, signaling that Sinora was fine on her own with a magical transmission that only Sinora could hear.
Afterwards, Pranay made a point of observing Antanas.
Hurray.
Antanas hadn’t noticed himself.
In fact, his clairvoyance seemed to have interfered with a divination spell that had been activated out of nowhere just now, giving him a glimpse of a scene that could have altered the nodes of the worldline.
However.
It was surprising that he–
The three figures of the King and Huberian and Talia were entwined on the ground!
For a moment Pranay suspected that his clairvoyance was broken.
He was still in a cold sweat.
No one must ever know that he knew.
Otherwise ten thousand lives wouldn’t survive!
This is something Pranay will take to the tombstone.
Pranay made up his mind.
“Whew ……”
With that he breathed another sigh of relief and continued tending to the restaurant store in preparation for the midday rush.
Luckily Talia couldn’t read minds.
According to the ancient texts of the demon world he knew, the demon talent Mind Reading might uncontrollably speak what it reads during its evolution, just like his unfinished Clairvoyance, which was accompanied by slight side effects when triggered intermittently.
Otherwise, in case of an accident, not to mention whether or not he, Pranay, could survive, the king might really have to die together with Talia.
