Chapter 1173: The Mystery of the Sarcophagus (1)

"Priest Wentitong Intermediate Level, the eighth level chief priest of the Holy See Branch, is good at divine blessing magic. Then Vincent noticed that Celent was strange, walked up to him, and whispered the lines engraved on the lid of the sarcophagus.

"Uncle Vincent, is Pastor Ontiton the one written on this the chubby, very kind-looking middle-aged pastor?" asked Celrant, whose voice trembled a little.

When he came to the branch of the Holy See, he did not have many contacts, and this Pastor Ontiton was one of the people he met regularly. Every day when Celent entered the prayer room to pray to the Lord of Light, he would basically meet Ontitun, a middle-level priest who had no and left a very good impression on Serent, with a warm smile on his face all the time.

"From the description of these words, it must be Ontiton, strange, why is his name here?" Vincent said with a frown. If he's not mistaken, he saw Ontiton yesterday and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, maybe it was just a prank?

"Uncle Vincent, can we open this sarcophagus and take a look?" asked Sellant. Rashly opening a coffin on the continent of Eriat is a great disrespect to the deceased, and ordinary people would never do that. But Septant would now rather risk the world's condemnation than open the coffin to verify it.

"Well, I don't think he would mind if there was Ong Titong himself lying inside. Vincent hesitated, still thinking that Celant's suggestion was the best option, and that he had to get this clear anyway.

He glanced at it cursoryly, and at least the sarcophagi around him were engraved with the names of the mid- and high-ranking members of the Holy See branch that he was familiar with. It would be terrible if every sarcophagus was filled with the corpses of the corresponding personnel.

At this time, Xiao Lei didn't know what kind of madness he suddenly started, jumping up and down and quickly shuttling between the sarcophagus, as if looking for something.

Celent and Vincent couldn't care about Xiaolei now, the two glanced at each other, put their hands on Ontitong's sarcophagus, and slowly pushed the sarcophagus lid open.

There was no imaginary smell of corpses, which made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the worst had not happened. But when the lid of the sarcophagus was completely removed and the ball of light completely illuminated the inside of the sarcophagus, Celent desperately grabbed his throat with his hand, so that he did not let out too poignant exclaims: there was a dried corpse lying inside the sarcophagus, and it looked like it was Ontitun!

"Ontiton is really dead?" Vincent was much calmer than Serente, recalling the last time he saw Ontiton, and found that Ontiton would never have been dead for more than a day. Vincent can guarantee that within this day, the entire Holy See branch will be under his control and the Knights of Light, and it is simply appalling that he can quietly kill a mid-level of the Holy See in such a heavily guarded environment.

"Uncle Vincent, do you feel a sense of déjà vu about Pastor Ontiton's death?" Celent managed to calm down his emotions, but he still couldn't help but tremble a little in his voice.

"Déjà vu? you mean Nicky?" Vincent immediately understood what Celent was referring to, and Ontiton's death was exactly the same as Nicky's!

"Is it still the murderer?" Celent clenched his fists and began to regret his carelessness in letting the murderer go. The consequence of letting the tiger return to the mountain is that I don't know how many more people from the Holy See will be killed by the murderer.

"Don't blame yourself yet, I don't think that murderer has the ability to kill so many people. Vincent's old age played a crucial role at the moment, he was much calmer than Serent, and naturally more thoughtful.

"Isn't it enough for a heavily armored paladine to kill a priest of Ontitun's calibre?" shouted Celant, a little excited.

"Selent, you misunderstood what I meant, I said that after the murderer didn't need to kill them at all, he kindly prepared a sarcophagus for them, it was easy to kill a person, but it was not easy to build these sarcophagi. Vincent comforted gently. Celent had almost grown up watching him, and he knew all too well the guilt that Sellant felt at the moment.

"You mean the murderer killed them and prepared a sarcophagus for them, premeditated?" asked Celant, tearfully streaming.

"Although I can't guess their purpose for the time being, I can be sure that the murderer is not just trying to kill people. Vincent glanced at Serent, motioned for him to follow, and then led Celent through the sarcophagus, examining the names engraved on each sarcophagus. After seeing the familiar name, the two pushed the sarcophagus lid open together and inspected the inside of the sarcophagus.

At first, Celent didn't quite understand Vincent's intentions, but after examining about a third of the sarcophagus, Celent finally saw something: the names of the people engraved on these sarcophagi were all middle and high-level members of the Holy See branch that had not appeared in St. Jessica's Cathedral recently, and without exception, each sarcophagus corresponded to a dried corpse.

Vincent had long been suspicious of the situation, but Cardinal Swell's answer was to deal with the possible crisis that was in the midst of penance.

"Could it be that the deaths of these people are all related to Cardinal Swell?" said Celant, in deep thought. It was clear that Archbishop Sverred had been covering up for the deaths of these people, in order not to make others suspicious.

"Whew~ It should be right. At this time, Vincent had almost looked at all the sarcophagi, and already had the answer in his heart: "These people are all people who have stepped down under the Esta coronation, and Swell has declared that he has been practicing penance behind closed doors after he came to power, and the papal seekers who died normally before that are not included." ”

"Is it really Cardinal Swell's master?" Celent couldn't figure out why Swell did this.

"It's not for sure if he's done it, but he knows for sure!" Vincent took a deep breath, knowing what he would face if he stumbled upon the secret.

After losing contact with the Holy See headquarters, Swell is now the supreme leader of the entire Holy See branch, and no one can restrain him, not even the Bright Council composed of other forces in the empire, they only have the right to veto Swell's decisions, but they do not have the power to impeach him.

In other words, unless Vincent makes the discovery of this place public, and comes up with enough evidence to prove that Swell is behind all this, so that it is possible to take down Swell with the power of the Empire, everything is empty talk. Even if the news leaked, Swell would probably bite back and kick him out as a scapegoat.

What's more, given the current situation in the entire empire, it is impossible for Vincent to do this kind of self-revealing behavior. At that time, no matter who wins or loses between him and Swell, it will only be the empire that will profit in the end. So all this can only be resolved within the Holy See.
