Chapter 87 - 87: Archbishop Maggie
Fire Code City.
In the emergency meeting hall.
Bang!
Harvey, the commander of the knights, slammed the table angrily, causing the candlelight on the table to tremble.
“This is what you promised me, the mage troops?”
Harvey pointed at the few young men who were present. They all had blank expressions on their faces. They probably did not even know what he was going to do next.
Then, Harvey roared at Greco, one of the three archbishops of the Fire God
Cult, who was also sitting in the meeting hall,
“All of them are magic apprentices who haven’t even reached the first stage?”
“You expect me to rely on them to save the crisis of Red Flame Town and fight against the evil forces of the Dreadclaw Forest?”
Facing the burly commander who was reprimanding him.
Bishop Greco was not moved at all. He even took a sip of the black tea on the table.
“Sir Harvey, this is the greatest aid our Fire God Cult can give the knights.”
” The rest of us mages are at a critical juncture in our cultivation. Even as a bishop, I have no right to order them to give up the opportunity to break through and turn around to set off with you.”
After hearing Bishop Greco’s casual tone, Harvey immediately stood up.
“Let me ask you, is it more important to study your lousy magic or to protect the people of the Flame Domain? Have you all forgotten the teachings of the Fire God??
“Both are equally important, Sir. ”
“Moreover, the Fire God Statue didn’t react at all. In other words, the crisis this time might not be as serious as you described, Sir Harvey. I think that the strength of you and your soldiers is enough to deal with it. There’s no need for the Fire God Cult to take action.
Seeing that Harvey was about to continue arguing with him, Greco smiled and said,
“Sir Harvey, I think that if your close friend, Archbishop Maggie, could come out of her cultivation, she would definitely make the same decision as me, wouldn’t she?”
When the other party mentioned Bishop Maggie, Harvey felt like he was hit in the sore spot and was instantly speechless.
Greco’s meaning was obvious.
Even the highest authority of the Fire God Sect, your former lover, Archbishop Maggie, has taken the lead in cultivating in seclusion. She has not been involved in the world for several years.
This in itself more or less symbolized the Fire God Sect’s overall attitude.
Harvey returned to his seat in a sorry state.
He clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he lowered his head and remained silent, unable to say anything.
However…
Just as Harvey was about to leave the meeting hall, a powerful pressure suddenly swept across the entire hall.
“What?” Sensing this aura, Bishop Greco’s expression instantly changed.
The mocking expression on his face disappeared without a trace.
On the other hand, Harvey’s burly commander was stunned for a moment, as if he could not believe it.
But then..
“Greco, go to the forbidden room and face the wall for a month. “A gentle and pleasant female voice rang out in the meeting hall.
However, such a soft voice seemed to carry an unquestionable majesty.
Bishop Greco, who had been so nonchalant with Harvey earlier, actually did not have the slightest thought of refuting him. He immediately agreed repeatedly with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
It was only then that Harvey finally confirmed the owner of the voice.
“Ma…Maggie!” The strongest Knight Commander of Fire Code City almost burst into tears when he heard this voice.
‘ Harvey, come to Fire God’s Tower for a while. I’ll wait for you above.
After the pleasant female voice finished speaking, the powerful pressure that had covered the meeting hall disappeared.
“I heard that if Maggie comes out of seclusion, she will make the same choice as you?”
Before leaving for the Fire God Tower, he did not forget to mock Bishop Greco, who was sitting in his seat with a pale face.
When Harvey finally left, one of Greco’s deacons asked in fear,”
“Master… Lord Bishop, what should we do now? Archbishop Maggie, why did she suddenly…”
“Humph! Why are you panicking?” Bishop Greco gradually calmed down from his shock.
“We didn’t do anything wrong. It’s not like you don’t know that once we mages use too much magic power, it will cause the strange disease in our bodies to be unable to be suppressed and the symptoms will worsen.
“Alright, don’t think too much. In my opinion, even Archbishop Maggie’s body is probably the same as ours. She’s also infected with that strange disease. It’s possible that it’s even more serious than ours, and she fell ill earlier. Otherwise, with Archbishop’s personality, how could she have secluded herself for so long?”
Greco’s fingers continuously tapped on the table in the chamber.
Although he said that it was easy, his brows were still tightly knitted.
In the end, Greco also got up and prepared to leave, but before he left, he seemed to have remembered something and specially reminded him,
“Let’s go back. Oh, right, while I’m in seclusion, I asked you to be in charge of recruiting foreigners.
“Yes, Bishop Greco.”
Fire God Tower.
On the top floor.
When Harvey came here again, the ancient gate that had been sealed for several years and was burning with flames at the top was now open for him.
When Harvey stepped in, the flaming door seemed to have sensed something and closed automatically.
“Tsk, being a mage really saves me a lot of trouble. I don’t even have to close the door myself.” Harvey turned around and smacked his lips..
