Chapter 75 Palace Master's Misunderstanding
"What!"
The hall master was stunned, turned around in disbelief and said: "Say it again! What happened to the Northern City?"
"Your Excellency, the Northern Territory is... gone."
The high priest said bitterly: "I just received news that half a month ago, the undead in the North Forest escaped."
"They attacked the city in the north. Bishop Moria and Knight Eric were both killed. All the temple knights failed to escape."
The high priest lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Even the lucky eagles are missing. I think the lucky eagles should have been discovered by these undead."
"How is this possible! I sent out thousands of Temple Knights, and they still can't purify a group of low-level undead!"
The hall master's eyes widened. He absolutely could not believe that his brave warriors were wiped out by a group of low-level undead.
"Tell me, how did the Northern City fall? Why did it take half a month for the news to come back?"
The hall master took a deep breath. He was very angry, but his reason told him that being angry was useless.
This matter is too strange, the Palace Master feels that there must be a conspiracy!
The high priest shook his head: "I don't know how this group of undead took down the city in the north."
The hall master's eyes were like lightning, staring directly at the high priest: "Then how did you know the news?"
The high priest whispered, "After the fall of the Northern City, some adventurers and members of the Magic Chamber of Commerce left the Northern Territory for other cities. Then the news gradually spread, and the news of the fall of the Northern Territory was known to the clergy of the temples in other cities."
"At first, no one believed this, but after the clergy secretly went to the North to check..."
"I found that the whole city is full of undead!"
"The current Northern City no longer belongs to the Temple and the Empire. It is full of skeletons, vampires, gargoyles and other undead spirits. There are tens of thousands of them. I heard that they are all summoned by a large group of undead summoners. The entire Northern City has become a veritable city of the dead."
Hearing the High Priest's words, the Hall Master couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression extremely solemn: "In other words, the undead in the North Forest were actually caused by this group of undead summoners?"
"good."
"Could this be a conspiracy by the School of Magic? Do they have a purpose or plot that I haven't guessed yet?"
The hall master frowned and lowered his head to think.
He initially thought that the undead appearing in the North Forest was just a coincidence, just a small number of evil creatures created by those magic nerds at the magic academy when they were studying forbidden magic.
In magic academies, there is always a shortage of such rebellious magicians who secretly study dark magic.
The Temple can just use this opportunity to suppress the Magic Academy and eliminate the new generation of potential young magicians in the Magic Academy.
Even if the Lord of the Temple decided to send the Knights Templar to the Northern Forest, his main purpose was not to eliminate the undead lurking in the Northern Forest, but to be wary of whether the School of Magic had other conspiracies and means left in the North.
To be honest, the number of recorded appearances of the undead in the history of the continent of Esk is pitifully small. Even the occasional appearance of the undead was caused by evil summoning magic and necromancers.
For example, the appearance of cracks in the undead plane recorded in the divine code, leading to a large-scale invasion of the undead, was something that the continent of Esk had never experienced before.
Therefore, when the hall master first saw the undead, his first reaction was that the magic academy was causing trouble.
Now that the North has been lost, the number of undead in the Northern Forest is unexpectedly large.
Even the Temple Knights Legion sent out by the Palace Master had been completely wiped out.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
The hall master took a deep breath and murmured, "This is all a conspiracy of the School of Magic! Their target from the beginning has been the clergy in the northern border of the empire!"
"The Temple's roots and influence in the North are not deep. The cities in the North are full of villains and adventurers. These pagans are simply unwilling to believe in the great God of Light."
"But the glory of my Lord is destined to spread across the entire continent. However, when the Magic Academy learned that the Temple was preparing to spread faith in the North, it deliberately joined forces with the evil Undead Summoner to attack the members of the Temple, wanting to completely control the North!"
The hall master said in a deep voice: "This must be the truth! In the entire Esk continent, apart from the Thorn Flower Magic Academy, there is no other place that can train so many Undead Summoners!"
"The North was lost. Was it the School of Magic who did it?"
The high priest was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to think, and could not help but nod in agreement: "Your Excellency, your analysis makes sense. When the Wind of Sorrow kidnapped Alia, I suspected that the School of Magic could no longer resist and was ready to attack us."
Although Beifengfa is nominally a wanted villain by both the Temple and the Magic Academy, the Temple Master is not stupid. Would a wanted villain come to help the Magic Academy rescue people for no reason?
The Sorrowful Wind Technique must have been a backup plan that the Magic Academy had planned in advance, and it would only appear when necessary.
The Palace Master believed that the group of Undead Summoners that suddenly appeared in the Northern City must have been secretly trained by the Magic Academy to attack the Temple at the critical moment!
The Palace Master was certain that this was an act of revenge from the Magic Academy!
Because of Arya's incident, the entire magic academy was angered, causing these magicians to want to retaliate against the temple , so they used the trump card of the Undead Summoner to attack the Northern City.
It was obvious that the Palace Master had misunderstood what happened in the Northern City.
He firmly believed that it was the magic academy that was behind this, but in fact, the Thorn Flower Magic Academy was really wronged this time.
The real situation is that a group of players from Earth are disguised as undead and are constantly causing trouble in the continent of Esk.
But who would believe these words if they were told to others?
At least the Palace Master wouldn't believe it.
People in high positions of power will consider more complicated things and are more likely to associate things with their opponents.
"so close."
The Palace Master suddenly sighed: "If Alia had not been suddenly captured by us for trial, thus attracting the magic academy and causing what happened later, I'm afraid that Father William would have died in the North by now."
The high priest was stunned for a moment, then understood, and was filled with fear: "You mean, their purpose is to kill the high priest?"
The temple master shook his head: "It may not be the high priest, but they will definitely target the North and try to encircle and eliminate the important clergy members of the temple as much as possible."
In the temple, the status of the high priest is second only to the temple master. Any high priest may become the next generation temple master and have a lofty status.
"If we hadn't suddenly attacked Alia, I'm afraid their goal would have been achieved. But even so, we lost several thousand temple knights and an archbishop."
The hall master muttered to himself: "The School of Magic, what a cruel method!"
"Then... Master Palace Master, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do?"
The hall master raised his head, stretched out his hand, and stroked the statue of the God of Light in front of him. He suddenly smiled: "Don't you know yet? The war has already begun."
"This is a declaration of war from the Magic Academy. The Temple is never afraid of any enemy!"
"Any pagan who wants to stop the spread of faith is our enemy. We must crush all obstacles and suffering!"
The temple master's tone was very firm. They were being bullied to the point of being bullied. As the number one force in the continent of Esk, how could the temple just bow down?
We must fight back!
"Palace Master..."
The high priest asked cautiously: "Now that the North has been lost, we have no clear evidence to prove that all this was done by the School of Magic. We..."
"Go make arrangements. I need to go see His Majesty."
The Palace Master said calmly: "I don't need evidence, I just want to take back the North! Destroy those undead summoners!"
"The undead are our mortal enemies. It is our job to eliminate evil. The School of Magic has no reason to interfere! They can only watch us eliminate these evil beings, who are also their companions."
The Palace Master's meaning was very clear.
If it was just a small-scale friction, there was no need to alarm His Majesty the King.
Palace Master, you want to use the military force of the Lion Empire to forcefully take back the ownership of the entire northern territory!
"As long as we take back the North, I will slowly settle accounts with that old guy in the Magic Academy!"
