Chapter 609: 54 The Fourth eting of Rhein
When Rocky received the ssage for the eting after a month, he felt a deep unease.
Because just a few days ago, while he was privately preaching to a newly initiated young priest, his body suddenly paid the price of [Disturbance], almost causing him to die on the spot.
But that wasn’t the main point. The main point was that the damn Ulu had used his [Disturbance], and only a few days after, the ssage from under Lango’s command arrived.
They weren’t really holding a regular eting once a month; communication magic consud a lot of resources and wouldn’t be used unless it was a major event.
Yet now, they seed to encounter a “major event” every month.
First, Corey died, then Lyra vanished, and then Holy Sound ran away. Each incident was more serious than the last, making Rocky’s calves cramp the mont he received a ssage.
Because he knew very well that this eting was probably related to him. After all, the biggest event now was Fig being sent to the Wildfire area to capture Ulu, and Ulu had used his [Disturbance] a few days ago, so it was likely they had clashed then, and now there were results.
Thinking about this made Rocky even more anxious.
After all, Fig knew that [Disturbance] was in his hands and would definitely question him about what happened once they returned.
How should he answer then?
Should he just kneel and confess everything, or feign ignorance and deny everything? After all, he still had his fingers, and it wasn’t unreasonable to play dumb.
But if it ca to light, his troubles would only grow. If he confessed now, Lango under his command might still protect him with minor punishnt, given their good relationship, just like he had with the young priest serving him.
But that’s assuming his [Disturbance] hadn’t caused too much trouble for Fig, otherwise, Lango wouldn’t easily forgive him. Whether they took his fingers or relieved him of his bishop status, it would be a blow.
Hmm… maybe it would be best to see how things develop, listen to what Fig has to say, and then decide.
Maintain the sa in the face of change.
Having made up his mind, Rocky took a deep breath and placed his hand on the flickering Communication Crystal.
As the scene shifted, he found himself once again in the conference room at Rhein City, and it seed like he was the last to arrive.
So, while apologizing to His Eminence Lango in the main seat, he sneakily glanced towards Fig’s position.
Then he noticed a sowhat unfamiliar face at Fig’s place.
This left Rocky a bit dumbfounded, but before he could react, he heard His Eminence Lango speak in a very deep voice.
“Everyone, I regret to inform you that five days ago, we permanently lost our northern bishop — Lango.”
Rocky’s expression gradually froze.
…
“Where is this?”
“Yade Town, it’s also the last town on the border. Once you leave this town, you will be leaving this land. So, have you decided?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Outside Yade Town, a man and a woman were standing there.
It was Bai Wei and Ivana.
Both Senluo and Wildfire were gone, and the Sacrificial Arena was completely destroyed. Therefore, the forr Holy Daughter of Senluo, Ivana, had no reason to stay there and left with Bai Wei.
But after leaving, where should they go?
Ivana didn’t know, because she, like her grandmother, had never left the Sacrificial Arena in her life, so Bai Wei brought her here, just as he once brought Ade from here to the Sacrificial Arena.
They all needed to find their own path.
For Ade, it had already found its way, but for Ivana, she was far from it. She didn’t even know whether to stay in this land, which she didn’t know whether to call Senluo or Wildfire. Because in this world, she knew no one anymore.
Oh, there was still one.
Ivana lifted her head to look at Bai Wei: “You’re leaving here, aren’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And you won’t take with you.”
“That’s right,” Bai Wei said with a smile. “My path ahead will be difficult, and I can’t take anyone with . But if you’d like, I can take you to a friend of mine.”
“The one called Lyra?”
“Yes.”
Ivana lowered her head. Although Bai Wei had told her countless tis along the way that if she went to Lyra, she wouldn’t have to worry about life anymore, as soone would take care of her and accompany her. But she still couldn’t make a choice because the word “Lyra” seed even more distant and unfamiliar than “Senluo” and “Wildfire.”
Where should she go?
Should she stay in this holand, now devoid of any familiar faces, or go to an even more unknown territory?
Ivana’s eyes were filled with confusion.
And this confusion did not escape Bai Wei’s notice. He could see it clearly, even without using [Listen].
Bai Wei also knew that for Ivana, Ade’s departure was a huge blow, and the wildfire that burned down the old Senluo also took away Ivana’s last spiritual solace. If Bai Wei left it be, Ivana might likely wither away, losing hope and spirit.
But fortunately, Bai Wei already had a plan. He smiled, ruffled Ivana’s hair, and said, “If you can’t decide, then co with to do sothing.”
