220. Praise you

"Trouble...is it the shadow you are talking about?" Manraco asked directly.

"Yes, many people say it is a mental problem, but I don't think so. I know that if there is anything that will cause Conil's mental breakdown, then it must be something about the temple, such as the broken faith."

"The breaking of faith is really a terrifying thing."

Although he spoke of horror, Manraco did not give people the feeling of fear, as if he was describing a commonplace thing.

There was always a smile on his face, but Ermelo, who was familiar with him, knew that this was just a hypocritical appearance.

In her view, the essence of the clergy of the Stian Theocracy is nothing more than a group of nobles cloaked in hypocrisy. The difference is that one is bound by royal power, and the other is bound by divine power.

There is no difference between the two, and Manraco, who has achieved the position of one of the four great priests, is undoubtedly a complete hypocrite.

"For a while, I thought it was you who was causing trouble." She replied honestly.

Manraco's face showed astonishment, and he raised his voice slightly as if to defend himself, "How could that be?"

"Indeed, if it were you, things would definitely not be that simple."

Manraco smiled, accepting the words that were not considered compliments.

"Can you tell me more about the situation?"

"His spirit seemed to be broken. No matter what I asked him, he just kept repeating the shadow."

"Shadows?" Manlaco frowned and thought, "In the documents of the Theocracy, races hidden in the shadows are described, but they have been submerged by the trajectory of history."

"What about other than that?"

"The Finedo family, a family that specializes in assassinations, and the assassin organization 'Lanzhihua', but I can't think of anything in Conil that deserves them."

The Finedo family is also known as the Kingkillers. The death of the Emperor of the Xingjiu Empire was through their hands. The Yongsai Empire has not given up on wanting them so far. How could the Finedo family take over Kony despite not caring about it?

As for the secret of "Lanzhi Flower", if it weren't for the records in the Vatican documents, Manlacco might not have known about it, and it was unlikely that Conil would provoke them.

"...So, this is exactly my question? Apart from you, I can't think of Conil provoking anyone else." El-Melo said bluntly.

Although the words sound a bit harsh, it is the truth.

"I did not participate." Manraco said, "If it were me, I should be thinking of ways to get you to agree to my conditions instead of pretending to know nothing."

"When shamelessness stays on the surface, there is indeed less trouble." El-Melo replied, "Although you are a little shameless, at least you are a villain who can show it."

Manraco ignored her insults.

"Have you investigated the matter? What happened during Conil's normal and abnormal time periods?"

"I have investigated. Conil saw a shadow in the bedroom. His temper suddenly became violent. He taught his wife a lesson in the back garden in front of the servants, and then the servants and his wife in the palace.

Unexplained death."

"Isn't there a problem with this?" Manraco was stunned. Even if it was the first time he heard it, he could see the problem from this information.

Even if the prisoner was not the murderer, the sudden death of his wife and servant could not be separated.

"Saint Hadiva once conducted an investigation on this matter..." Ermelo paused, "Nothing was found."

Not found?

Saint Hadiva, even Manraco, who is far away in the Stin Kingdom, has heard of his reputation. He is a true magic genius.

Many magical theories emerged from his mouth, and it can be said that his admirers are everywhere in the world.

Even he didn't notice it. Either the enemy was too strong for him to detect, or he was pretending to be ignorant. No matter which one it was, it meant trouble.

"Can I go see Cornier?"

"I put him in a nearby room so that if something happens, I can take care of him as soon as possible."

Manraco frowned, "This is not a suitable method. If the enemy is stronger than you expect, this arrangement will only bring you trouble."

"Emotions are really weak in your opinion. After all, Conil is considered your student, but you are worried about trouble?" El-Melo's voice was filled with a hint of anger. In a territory far away from the family, there was no way.

After being loved by her husband, she transferred this love to her nephew, whom she had already regarded as her own child.

The reason why Cornier is so passionate about faith is that he has been influenced by it subconsciously.

He admires his teacher Manlaco, so his faith is so firm.

Manraco was not willing to argue with Ermelo, so he instead said: "Take me to see him."

After walking for dozens of steps, we arrived at the room where Conil was placed.

This area was too close, and displeasure flashed across Manraco's face. He hated this feeling of the unknown, especially the unknown that also carried danger.

The room was dark.

As long as there is light, there are shadows, which is inevitable. Later, when it was discovered that it was completely dark, Conil was able to remain calm.

With the arrival of Manraco and El-Melo, the light from outside the door entered the room and shone on Conil's face. Conil also woke up from his deep sleep.

Looking at Conil's current appearance, Manraco's hypocritical smile slowly faded, revealing a sense of shock.

Conil, who was lying on the bed, no longer had the arrogance of the past, and his cheekbones could be seen on both sides of his skinny face.

Rather than being an aristocratic rich young man, he looked more like a person who had walked out of a slum where he didn't know how to feed himself. His haggard eyes were almost closed together and his hair was dull. The moment the light shone in again, his eyes glowed with life.

But it was full of fear. He looked at the darkness in the corner and kept retreating.

Manraco could sense that he was looking at the dark corner, but what was he looking at? In his perception... everything was just as usual, and nothing unusual was detected. He waved his wrist gently, and a holy

Guanghui was thrown away by him.

Immediately, Manraco's expression changed suddenly.

The invincible glory has encountered obstacles!

Something is blocking the light!

Manraco held his staff high, and light emanated from it.

El-Melloi also took out the magic scroll from the ring and waited quietly beside Manraco.

The cane, which represents the identity of the great priest, is a valuable gift from the gods. It possesses divine power and is second only to the relics of gods.

After using this divine power to protect the surroundings of his body, Manracor controlled them to continue exploring forward. The light illuminated the darkness and was no longer hindered.

A black figure was illuminated in the light.

But the light did not burn the black figure. Instead, he moved forward in the light. This was not a creature of darkness, and he was not afraid of the light with divine power.

A black shadow flashed past, appeared from the shadow extending along the edge of the bed, and penetrated into Conil's body.

Conil's pupils suddenly opened, and his eyes widened as if he had seen something invisible.

"The great Joel Starla Igukuno... praise you..." He murmured the last words in his mouth, and then lost his breath.

Everything happened so fast that even El-Melloi had no time to tear open the scroll.
