Chapter 41: Mutual Scruples

"I have a question for Lord Olufi, on what basis do you determine that this broken piece of iron is our family's soul blade?" Seeing that Bishop Olufei did not take the bait, Count Raphael quietly changed the direction of attack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Can you find a second thing in the world that smells of the soul god?" said Bishop Olufi with a look of disgust.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the cardinal to be so arbitrary. Count Raphael sarcastically said.

"I can't imagine that Lord Earl is so scoundrel. Bishop Olufi retorted unceremoniously, saying in his opinion that Count Raphael was denying it in every possible way.

In the heyday of the Holy See, I don't know if the entire continent had been swept several times, and things like this left on the continent by other main gods had long been swept away. This soul blade was only retained by the extrajudicial grace because of the special status of its holder.

"Well, even if it's a fragment of the Soul Blade, where did you get this thing, Lord Bishop?" Count Raphael asked, immediately staring into Bishop Olufi's eyes.

It's a pity that his face is obscured by that damn mask, otherwise he would have revealed a flaw. Count Raphael thought with regret.

"Would you believe me if I said it was captured from the hands of an undead?" replied Bishop Olufi, also staring at Count Raphael, apparently with the same idea.

"Undead?" asked Count Raphael, quizzically. He had gone around in such a big circle in front of him, just to unexpectedly get the truth from Bishop Olufei.

After relying on the airship to stabilize his position, the wielder of the soul blade is the most concerned issue for Count Raphael. I didn't expect Bishop Olufi to give such an unexpected answer. Seeing that Bishop Olufi didn't look like a lie made Count Raphael fall into deep thought.

"That's right, the undead. Count Raphael's expression also confused Bishop Olufi, which seemed to be very different from his expectations, could he really blame the O'Bright family?

"So, Lord Bishop, what you seized from that undead was just a fragment, or was it a complete soul blade?" asked Count Raphael.

"Well, this ......" Bishop Olufi instinctively felt that he couldn't tell him the truth, he didn't want to expose the secrets of Serent's body, and he dreamed of bringing Selent back to the imperial capital.

"Why, is there anything unspeakable about the Bishop?" Count Raphael saw Bishop Oruffi's hesitation, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"The Soul Blade was shattered by the Arrow of Holy Light. After a moment's hesitation, Bishop Olufi decided to keep the part about Celent under wrap.

"Holy Light Arrow, that eighth-level divine spell, this can't be!" Count Raphael, who is also a master of magic, knows very well that it is impossible for an eighth-level spell to shatter a soul blade blessed by the divine power of the soul god, even if there is restraint in attributes, it will definitely not be possible.

"But it's true. This time, Bishop Olufi was able to meet the skeptical gaze of Count Raphael.

"Don't tell me it's your 'masterpiece', IMHO, you don't seem to have that yet. Nothing could be seen from Bishop Olufei's face, and after quietly using a truth, Count Raphael questioned.

"Hehe, whatever you want, but it's true. Bishop Olufi replied with a chuckle.

The truth technique reported that Bishop Olufi was not lying, much to the utter shock of Count Raphael. He had to start thinking about whether this overwhelming advantage in front of him could be an illusion.

Whether Bishop Olufei really has the strength to overwhelm the divine power of the soul god attached to the soul blade, or the Holy See is hiding some unknown powerful human hand in the dark, it is a very tricky matter for him.

In just one night, he could only let the snow wolf knights under his command smoothly control the floating airship and use the magic cannon on the floating airship, as for the other powerful effects on the floating airship, there was not enough time for him to study them, and he didn't even have time to carefully inspect every corner of the floating airship.

After all, the family in the Western Kingdom was not kind enough to give a detailed instruction manual when they made a secret deal with Duke Brian, and the O'Bride family, in order to avoid the attention of other forces in the empire, only hid the airship in the most inconspicuous place in the territory - the secret base near the small town of Frossaken.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to have a weapon that is far beyond your abilities. After the O'Brand, who got the airship, hid the airship in the snow, they didn't dare to conduct sea trials or research at all.

The cunning Duke of Brydon knew very well that as long as the slightest rumor of the airship was revealed, no other force would be enough to uproot him and his family from the mainland. It is a taboo thing to have military power beyond the royal family at any time, enough to make any monarch go on a killing spree.

Duke Brydon was also carried away by the interests for a while, and it wasn't until after the deal was successful that he discovered that the airship was really a hot potato. Just when he wanted to break the contract and return the goods, the cataclysm suddenly broke out, and the Duchy of Bavaria was also destroyed, and the communication with the Western Kingdom was completely cut off by the Bavarian mountains, and the O'Brid family could not contact the seller if they wanted to return the goods.

After losing his trading partner, Duke Brydon could only reluctantly accept the cost of more than eighty percent of the family's resources in exchange for a luxurious and expensive "ornament", maybe not even an ornament, the ornament can at least be used to decorate the façade, and once the floating airship appears, it will inevitably bring about a catastrophe.

This time, under the persecution of Rey III, the O'bright family had to completely surrender to the emperor and became a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor. After a conspiracy between Brydon and Raphael, the two decided to offer the airship to Rey III in exchange for other benefits.

After sending a message to His Majesty the Emperor using the magic teleportation box, Rey III's reply was simple, with only one word: "Yes!"

After obtaining the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, the Duke of Bryden dared to allow Count Raphael to use the airship. And Count Raphael is worthy of the reputation of a magical genius. In just one night, through the study of the magic array engraved on the floating airship, he initially mastered some basic functions of the floating airship.

At least he could get the airship running, and use the magic cannon on it. In Count Raphael's opinion, this was enough to suppress the Holy See's power in Frossaken. Unexpectedly, a mysterious figure who could smash the soul blade possessed by the divine power of the soul god suddenly appeared, which shook his original victory due to the floating airship.

Stowe, who knew very well what was going on, shook his head secretly, he was sure that his dear big brother had misunderstood something, but he didn't mean anything about it.

Bishop Olufi, who also did not know that Stowe was one of the parties involved, was also proud of his wit, and in his opinion Count Raphael was bluffed by his success.
