63. Knight Army Support
Seeing Gorando appear here alive, the most shocking thing was none other than Bishop Upton, who had ordered Golando to be locked up on the second floor of the "impossible escape", which was specially set up to imprison magicians, and there were no magic-related shackles except for the shield that shrouded the entire ship.
Bishop Upton's approach to Gorando is to use state-of-the-art mechanical technology to drive the genius magician into a dead end.
He was sure that the Royal Academy of Magic had never taught mechanical knowledge, and after the Holy See's investigation, Golando Harrison knew nothing about systems other than magic, so Golando would eventually return to the only way to break the shield.
In order to break the shield, unless there is another magician of the same level as him on the second floor, then the two can escape from the second floor together.
- Why, then, is the seven-star magician named Gorando Harrison standing in front of him now?
Bishop Upton's face was unpredictable and uncertain.
Golando saw the other's confusion, and he swirled the staff in his hand between his fingers, and then aimed it directly at the Bishop in the middle of the room.
The tip of the staff crackled to the rhythm of thunder, and in the next moment, thousands of thunderbolts would pour out and kill the enemy.
He had seen through the conspiracy of Bishop Upton, and the collusion between Bishop Upton and the Inquisition was unmistakable, as long as Alwin's men arrived, they would immediately wipe out all the rebels in the Holy See!
The Bishop looked down at Gorando's murderous staff, raising his gray bearded chin slightly.
This civilian magician seems to be very confident, what is it that makes him so confident? Was it the accomplice who helped him escape from the second layer? Who is that accomplice? Where is it now?
Bishop Upton's eyes lit up, and he locked on the first eligible person that popped up in his mind, that is, Gustav, who stood with Ronoye.
Shot through the wolf-like eyes of Bishop Upton, Gustav remained unmoved.
Gustav's reaction made Bishop Upton doubt his own judgment.
Isn't it him?
He swallowed, turned to Golando and asked, "Golando Harrison, how did you get here?" β
The attendants and crew brought by Amphilos were all arranged by him to a place where Golando and Ronoye could not be reached, if the person who helped Golando was not Gustav, then what kind of force would it be?!
"Do you really want to know?"
Gorando shook his staff and looked at the old man in front of him, who was old but still in good spirits.
It is true that when he figured out the structure of the second floor and even the entire empty ship, he once thought that there was no way, so he gambled his hopes on Gustav's response, and Gustav did not let his expectations be disappointed, before transferring to the empty ship of the Holy See, Gustav had let his envoy Arnold secretly fly with the bottom of the empty ship, and saw the right time to cooperate with Gorando to attack.
But...... It wasn't Gustav's demons who rescued him from the second floor, but ......
"You will know the answer later, Lord Bishop, so don't waste time now, and get back to the topic." Golando said as he glanced at the clergy behind him who had been defeated on the ground, "There will be a short time when no one will disturb us, and you can speak freely. β
The topic was the New God and the Old God, and Golando was outside overhearing the argument between Ronoye and Upton, in other words, he was going to help Ronoye ask the real reason for the Bishop's rebellion against Felgar.
In short, he would not believe in such nonsense as treason because of a change of faith.
There must be something going on here...... It has the inside information that Bishop Upton will follow the inquisition division even if he is charged with treason.
Golando clenched his staff and asked sharply again, "Lord Bishop, did you really convert to the so-called New God because you couldn't get in touch with the old gods?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Bishop Upton's expression suddenly distorted for a moment, and this momentary distortion was seen by Golando as the other party's vacillation.
"Yes, Bishop," Ronoyer joined in, "I don't think you've ever been such a person, you must have something to worry about, right?" Do you know some secrets...... About God's secrets? β
The High Priest could no longer hear God's voice...... Bishop Upton was indignant when he spoke of this, as if there was something else involved, so Ronoyer asked the question.
If this mystery can be solved, the reason for the Bishop's rebellion will be clear.
Under the double pressure of Golando and Ronoye, Bishop Upton lowered his head and made a gesture as if he were in repentance, but when he raised his head again, it was not to say a word of repentance.
His eyes lost their luster, and two lumps suddenly bulged out on his back, and with the screeching sound of his shirt being shattered, a pair of huge gray wings burst out from Bishop Upton's back!
Each feather on the wings was a cloudy and filthy hue, but the edges were unusually sharp, flashing with a cold light comparable to that of a sharp blade.
Seeing this, Ronoye took a step back: "How, how could it be ......?"
He had seen real fallen angels, and he had seen all kinds of evil spirits born from human pathologies, but he had never seen Bishop Upton turn into a fallen angel like this.
Can humans become fallen angels? The answer is no, no matter which canon it is. His knowledge is not sufficient to explain this phenomenon.
Ronoye immediately looked at Gustav, if his second brother who had lived with the fallen angel would know a little more than him?
But after he saw Gustav's appearance, Ronoye fell into a deeper confusion.
His second brother...... is angry.
"Gustav?"
Golando also noticed Gustav's unnaturalness from the corner of his eye, and it was the first time he saw Gustav's angry appearance, and the other party's breathing became messy.
Was it because Gustav had seen something similar before? Could it be that the three-winged fallen angel was also turned into a monster in front of him?
Just as Golando was spinning his brain to piece together clues, a voice popped out mercilessly: "Why should I rebel, this is the reason." β
It was Bishop Upton who spoke, and he didn't leave Gorando and Ronoye room to think about the reason, flapping his wings and levitating in the air.
"The new god has given me new strength, and if I do what the new god says, sooner or later these wings will be completely dyed blackβthe purest and truest color in the world."
Ronoye hurriedly said: "What does this color mean, ...... you, Bishop?"
"Meaning demons." Gustav interrupted.
At some point, Gustav had unleashed his staff, and a whirlpool of magic had been generated around him.
"Bishop Upton, you believe in demons, and it seems that you know this better than we do, does that mean...... Can I sanction you for 'treason' here? β
Gorando sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Gustav, you wait! β
The speed of sound was far less than the speed of light, and the magic vortex on Gustav's side bloomed with dazzling brilliance before Golando could finish drinking, and the lightning summoned by him struck Bishop Upton with an aura comparable to that of a thousand horses, and struck Bishop Upton more quickly than the few wisps wrapped around the tip of Golando's staff.
Bishop Upton saw the opportunity to close his wings, trying to wrap himself in it to resist the damage, but after a while, the bombardment that everyone intended did not appear, and Gustav's thunder and lightning offset a screen of light made of water mist, and the power of thunder and lightning was forced to weaken the offensive after being dispersed and transmitted in all directions by the water mist, and less than one-ten-thousandth of the actual hit on Bishop Upton.
Using fog as a weapon and fog as a shield, he will stop disputes in this way except for Orwin, the "Knight of the Gods" who is the most adept at fog-based magic.
A dozen knights blasted through the Gorando through the large hole and entered the room, after which Orwin arrived.
"Why are you here now?" Golando Road.
"It also takes time to gather evidence of Bishop Upton's treason."
Alvin explained and walked towards Gustav, and forcefully broke off the staff he had raised: "Gustav, wherever the knights go, there are no idlers waiting for them to come forward, if I am one step late, are you planning to dispose of Bishop Upton here?" β
"Me? Dispose of him? Gustav snorted and withdrew his staff, moving his lips as his voice grew lower, "...... As you said, I don't have that qualification yet. β
He stepped aside, as if reluctant to shut up.
Orvin stepped forward to look at Bishop Upton and said, "This empty ship has been seized by the Knights, and we will take all the priests suspected of rebellion into the prison of Yuleni, Lord Bishop, and you are no exception. β
Bishop Upton stared at Alvin for a moment and said, "Worthy of being a good student of mine...... Alvin, you lied to me. β
Alvin bowed: "If I hadn't lied to you, I wouldn't have been able to get so much evidence of your treason." β
And wasn't it the Judge Division who first deceived them?
Bishop Upton listened to Orwin's words but did not care, and said with ease: "If I had not taken such an action, you would not have been able to chase you here." β
Alvin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled elegantly: "Yes, if it weren't for your teacher's concession, how would I have a chance to catch your tail?" β
After saying that, his face changed, and the words were sonorous: "Your Excellency...... Leave the rest to Ulleni's prison, and now I ask you to cooperate with us and follow the Knights out of this empty ship. β
"What if I refuse?"
"Then we will use force to force you to comply." Alvin looked away with some sadness, "Teacher...... If you can, I still don't want to go toe-to-toe with you. β
Bishop Upton's tone changed abruptly: "It's okay! You can take out your spears and staffs! β
"What did you say?"
Alvin looked back at Bishop Upton in surprise, and at that moment there was a series of strange noises above everyone's heads.
Golando knew what it was only when he heard the beginning, and he had heard similar sounds countless times while exploring the second level. Thinking of this, Golando hurriedly informed Orwin of his conclusions: "These are the organs on the ship. β
Before he could finish speaking, the ceiling above him flipped over one by one, and black figures in the uniform of the Inquisition Division jumped out of the deep gap and landed on the left and right of Bishop Upton.
It's going to be an uphill battle again.
