Chapter 331 330 The Alibi Is Impeccable

Chapter 331 330. The alibi is impeccable

The head of the radiant incarnation roughly pushed open the door of the Pope's Tower. This tower of power in the Theocracy, which would not officially welcome a new owner for some time, now only had Mao Jing left.

In order to keep it secret, Antonio mobilized the confidants of the Inquisition to a limited extent. They followed the incarnations of radiance and quickly took control of the entire Papal Tower.

Finding that the person who followed the head of the incarnation of Glory into the reception room on the first floor had a strange expression, everyone in the Glory Academy hurried forward.

Pushing away the crowd eagerly, what came into view were two old corpses. The blood on the ground was like a snake, twisting and swimming in the gaps between the floor tiles, and the bright red stretched forward little by little.

There were tears in Mao Jing's eyes as she was sorting out the remains of the two old men. She stared coldly at the head of the radiance incarnation and stood up little by little.

The head of the radiant incarnation, this eighth-level magician couldn't bear the surging anger in the extension of the cat thorn, and subconsciously took two steps back.

After seeing the appearance of the two corpses clearly, some people in the Guanghui Academy were surprised, some were ashamed, and they did not dare to meet Mao Jing's sharp eyes.

The two nuns in black, who had been raised by Catthorn since childhood, guarded the Corridor of Time, and silently guarded Laurent for half his life, committed suicide.

As they said, they will follow Laurent in life and in death, and today is the day they fulfill their promise.

The blood of the loyal souls is still dry, and the blasphemers are coming in a hurry. At this moment, they are like the villains in the bard's stories, their faces are hateful.

"The Pope's Tower hasn't changed hands yet, are you so impatient?" Mao Jing's cold gaze and sharp words made Antonio at a loss.

The head of the radiant incarnation stood up: "Pope Laurent's body is missing and is suspected to have been stolen. It is currently being searched secretly. If there is any offense, please forgive me, Lord Maojing."

After he spoke, the Avatars of Glory bowed to Catthorn one after another, and then searched around. The members of the Tribunal also breathed a sigh of relief and acted together.

After hearing that Laurend's body was missing, Maojing stood up quickly. She grabbed the silver robe of the head of the radiance incarnation and roared with red eyes: "Missing, when? Where are the people who look after the main church? Tell me clearly!"

The Radiance Institute thought carefully about the words of the Incarnation of Radiance and felt that Cat Jing, who was deeply in love with Laurend, had sufficient motives for committing the crime. Laurent's unwillingness to hand over his body to the Theocracy may have something to do with her.

They couldn't wait to rush to the Pope's Tower, hoping to stop Mao Jing's crazy behavior before she escaped. However, at this moment, Mao Jing's crazy reaction... Cat Jing did not immediately question their suspicions about her, which made the head of the radiant incarnation also Somewhat shaken.

The search was carried out very carefully. Even the hidden wall in Laurend's bedroom was opened and searched. The hidden compartments where the servants who lived here kept their personal belongings were found. Some items that had been forgotten were even found. Take away private money.

It's not easy to hide a body. Nothing was found in the Pope's Tower, which surprised the Guanghui Institute and made them even more confused. They couldn't think of anyone else who needed Laurend's body besides Cat Jing.

Maojing lost her mind and refused the Guanghui Institute's offer to stay at the Pope's Tower, insisting on participating in the search.

If Antonio hadn't reminded Mao Jing that the remains of two nuns in black had not yet been "rested in peace", they had no doubt that the clothes of the head of the radiant incarnation would have been torn to pieces by the crazy Cat Jing.

After repeatedly promising to allow her to search together after taking care of the nun's body, Guanghui Institute left a few Inquisition guards to follow Mao Jing and returned to the main church again.

Just relying on their first instinct, they went straight to the Pope's Tower, but returned without success, and also cleared the suspicion of Maojing. Now they returned to the crime scene, and everyone began to carefully summarize the information at the scene.

The knights guarding the main church were trembling. Knowing the seriousness of the loss of Laurend's body, they were despairing.

Through their trembling descriptions, everyone instantly felt that layers of fog were blocking their eyes.

There were four knights guarding Laurend's body. The reason why there were so few was because no one expected that anyone would offend Laurend.

Two of them guard the gate, and the remaining two are constantly patrolling. The highest rank of the four is fifth level, and the main church is protected by a magic circle. If someone invades, even if they escape the average fourth-level knight, the church is guarded by a seventh-level magician. The arranged magic circle will also immediately warn and counterattack.

However, all four people said they did not hear any movement in the church. During this period, the captain, under the supervision of others, opened the door and confirmed the situation in the church. Everything was normal.

The wind blows.

The four sharp-eyed people had the same story. Uneasy, they asked separately to confirm, and were finally convinced that what they said was true.

A priest still believed that the knights were lying and decided to execute one person as a deterrent.

Antonio stopped him: "Pope Laurent would not want to see us do this. This is our negligence. The thieves are very powerful. They easily avoided their sight, broke the magic circle, and stole the body... They Having done everything within their capabilities, I believe that if they really meet the thieves, they will definitely be willing to take back Pope Laurent’s body with their lives.”

The knights prostrated themselves on the ground and burst into tears after hearing Antonio's words.

"Pardon them, which means everyone will know that Laurende's body was lost in our hands and you have not been crowned yet. This will have a huge impact on you!" someone advised.

Antonio sighed: "Now that the Pope's City has been blocked, we should have one day to search. We should consider it again if there is no result. Glorious Avatar, are you sure that the body cannot leave the Pope's City, or even leave the Pope's Tower to the Glorious Courtyard?"

The head of the Glorious Avatar squatted near the coffin area and carefully searched for clues. Hearing this question, he did not turn around and calmly answered: "Based on the words of these knights, it is impossible."

"Again, what does the other party need Laurent's body for?" he asked.

"Blackmail the Church? He can indeed succeed, and we are certainly willing to meet his conditions for Laurend. But will a person who can avoid the sight of the fifth level and crack the seventh level magic circle become an enemy of the entire Church in order to fulfill a wish?"

Antonio agreed with the inference of the Glory Avatar, and then said: "Then there is only one possibility left. The other party does not want us to preserve Laurend's body, but would rather keep it by himself. The person who has such an idea must be one of Laurend's closest people..."

Everyone in the Glory Court realized something and left with the people of the Tribunal in a hurry.

The head of the Glory Avatar looked at their backs, with his hands behind his back, and paced around the coffin where the body was originally stored. Countless pictures appeared in his mind, and then disappeared. All kinds of possibilities were deduced and began to reappear vividly.

He felt that he had missed some key information, but the dignity of being the Glory Avatar did not allow him to show his weakness in front of the people in the Glory Court. When the surroundings returned to peace, he tried hard to find it.

Antonio saw Sera lying under a tree from a distance, and a dark purple jellyfish covering her with a blanket at a slow speed.

Lu Yu, who was holding a smaller, glowing, crystal green jellyfish, was teasing her tentacles, and was content.

Next to Lu Yu, the petite Ms. Gulu was flipping through a book with unknown words on the cover, concentrating on it and not noticing the changes around her.

The chaotic steps did not wake up Sera, who was sleeping on the ground in an unsightly manner. Lu Yu stepped forward and pulled the blanket, covering the mountain with clouds and mist, and then turned around to face the people of Guanghuiyuan who looked unfriendly.

"You seem to have something to do with Sera?"

"Maybe you have something to do with Lord Lu Yu." Archbishop Boulder of the Tribunal asked in a deep voice, "Where were you during the dinner?"

"Me?" Lu Yu recalled for a moment and answered, "Your dinner, Guru and I are outsiders and cannot enter. In order to wait for Sera, I have been waiting outside the door. I think the guards of the court, the black owls, the silent ones, and the shadow guards who came to investigate can provide me with evidence?"

Antonio was shocked to realize that Lu Yu and Guru were left outside the dinner venue for a whole night. He looked at the priest who presided over the dinner.

The high priest also asked her with a sharp look what was going on.

The priest had to walk to the two of them awkwardly and muttered: "It is said that His Excellency the Glutton has some conflicts with Princess Tanya of Solon. In order to avoid some unexpected situations, I hope he can go to the seat where the entourage is, or sit in the corner... But he doesn't want to, and insists on sitting in the noble seat..."

Antonio and the high priest had a headache.

Lu Yu is Sera's lover. Now that Laurende has just passed away, they treat Lu Yu like this. How will people with ulterior motives view them!

Antonio didn't know whether to solve the misunderstanding tonight first, or to continue to ask for some details. He suddenly felt a little tired.

"Lord Laurende, did you feel this way before?"

There was really no way. After consulting Lu Yu, the "boyfriend", the people of Guanghuiyuan used water magic to wake up the drunk Sera.

Sera, who was angry, had a dull look on her face after hearing that the reason for waking her up was the disappearance of Laurende's body. She looked around and pinched her face, as if she was doubting that she was in a dream.

Until Lu Yu mercilessly threw the light jellyfish on her face, and the light jellyfish pupated like a facehugger... Then Sera woke up completely.

Her reaction was exactly the same as Mao Jing's, but this time the unlucky one was David, the Archbishop of the Executive Court who was closest to her and had the best relationship with her.

"Sera, the Chosen One, we want to know where you were after the dinner?"

Facing Boulder who asked this question, Sera looked at a fool. After a long time, her eyes moved down and looked at the green grass on the ground, the fallen leaves on the ground, and the blanket that Lu Yu had brought from somewhere.

"I've been here all this time?"

"I'm drunk, do you understand?" Sera's voice suddenly rose, perhaps due to the alcohol, she became very excited, "Laurende's body is missing but you're questioning me, what do you mean, are you doubting me, you're doubting me!"

"You don't go to find Laurenende, don't go to search for the criminal, but come to me in a group, are you going to deprive me of my title as soon as Laurenende leaves..."

Sera's face flushed, her throat surged, her mouth bulged, she turned around, turned her back to everyone, and vomited...

Everyone in the Guanghui Academy felt that tonight was particularly unpleasant.

Laurende's body was missing, and the search for the Pope's Tower encountered two black nuns who committed suicide. When they asked Sera, she drank too much and lost her manners.

No matter which occasion, they were extremely embarrassed.

Sufficient alibis cleared Lu Yu, Sera and Guru of suspicion.

Could it be that the God of Glory came and took away His most faithful preacher in the world?

The Court of Inquisition knocked on the door of the diplomatic corps of various countries in the name of "the loss of important items during Laurent's lifetime". After some inquiries, the Glorious Court, which was at a loss, found a breakthrough.

"Sir Lu Yu, an envoy from Solon, an envoy from Sligo, and a knight on guard all claimed to have seen you leave the venue during the dinner. Although it was very short, can you tell me where you went?"

Lu Yu answered readily: "Go back to the Pope's Tower to get a book, um... the one that Gollum is reading now, this is my personal belongings. I believe you can find the corresponding witnesses later, but I returned very quickly, and the interval was very short. And those who witnessed me can also prove that I did not carry anything obvious or special."

The search was deadlocked again. The questioning and search of the envoys of the three countries had spread the news of "lost things" quickly. People were discussing what [Laurt's valuables] were, so that the Church mobilized troops and did not hesitate to seal the city.

As time goes by, the fermenting public opinion will make the Church more and more disadvantageous. They can't trap all the envoys here, and the disappearance of Laurend's body is not a secret that is easy to conceal... There are many people and many things to say, and the scrolls of high-level spiritual magic are relatively precious, and it is impossible for everyone to use them.

Antonio doesn't believe that anyone can take Laurend's body out of the Pope's Tower to the area of ​​the Court of Glory. He is very confident that the body is still nearby.

The thief is also here!

But who is it, and what method did he use to hide it?

Even if the thief does not respect Laurend's body and places it casually, there should be some traces under the inch-by-inch, plowing-style search of the knights and magicians holding many props.

The keen intuition makes Antonio and Boulder, two experienced archbishops of the Tribunal, feel that this was done by Lu Yu, Sera or Mao Jing, or even the three of them together, but... the three of them have alibis when the incident happened.

Mao Jing was watched by the glorious incarnation left around the Pope's Tower.

Sera was constantly entertaining at the dinner.

Lu Yu and Gulu were waiting outside the venue. Even if they asked the Black Owl, Shadow Guards and Silent Ones who had already left, he was innocent - a lonely guy with a big jellyfish, standing at the door, was too obvious to be ignored.

Even if Lu Yu left briefly in the middle, as he said, he was empty-handed, and everyone along the way could testify.

Time and space have proved that these three people could not complete the theft, and they all happened to have eyewitness testimony.

To put it another way, these three people really have amazing hiding abilities to steal, and there is no place in the nearby area where the remains can be hidden.

The somewhat absurd idea in Antonio's heart rose again.

"Could it be that it is really the God of Light?"
