1472 Alarmed
Archbishop Zigfy suddenly stopped what he was doing. He narrowed his eyes and looked up at the entrance of the sleeping hall opposite him.
Two figures floated in from outside the door without making any sound.
Archbishop Zigfy did not shout because of this, nor did he send out an alarm immediately. Instead, he calmly closed the virtual screen that was displaying the management of the resources in the Heavenly Temple these few days. At the same time, he secretly circulated his Internal Breath, but he did not erupt. He only watched as the two figures landed on the ground and walked over, stopping ten meters away from him.
Seeing the other party’s action, Archbishop Zigfy’s heart skipped a beat and he became even more vigilant.
Not only could these two people sneak in front of him without alerting all the defense arrangements in the temple, they could even stop at this location so accurately. It could be seen that they had a very precise grasp of their strength. They knew that this distance would not cause him to attack immediately and also gave them a chance to leave at any time.
However, Archbishop Zigfy also felt a little more relaxed.
These two people putting on this posture at least proved that they were not the kind of fellows who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and wanted to assassinate him.
Therefore, when the two of them stood still, he smiled at them, “Friends, you came to the temple late at night. Could it be that you have some questions and want to seek the guidance of the goddess?”
Hearing Archbishop Zigfy’s question and looking at the calm smile on his face, Chu Nan’s evaluation of him increased.
As expected of the most promising young Archbishop in the Esevy Goddess Cult who was reputed to have the greatest hope of taking over the position of the pope. He could not be shocked when faced with such a situation. At the very least, he was quite confident.
“Yes, we indeed have a question that we want to seek the guidance of the goddess.” Chu Nan smiled and nodded, “Archbishop Zigfy, do you know the whereabouts of Princess Pamela?”
Angie Prairie glanced at Chu Nan in surprise.
She originally thought that Chu Nan would more or less deal with Archbishop Zigfy before asking about Pamela indirectly, but she did not expect him to ask so bluntly.
Archbishop Zigfy was clearly stunned. Then, his eyes changed and two strange gazes shot out and firmly locked onto Chu Nan.
A moment later, he revealed an enlightened expression.
“I remember now. Your name should be Chu Nan, right? Previously, you went to the pet beast garden with Prince Lekas and the girl beside you was with you at that time.”
“Pet beast garden?” Chu Nan was slightly stunned before he realized that he should be talking about the space where he saw Glurik led by Pope Lockmarton. He nodded, “Yes, I didn’t expect Archbishop Zigfy to remember us. It’s really surprising.”
“Your outstanding performance at that time left a deep impression on the pope and our sect. How can I not remember?” An inexplicable smile appeared on Archbishop Zigfy’s face, “As for the Princess Pamela you asked… Since you’re close to Prince Lekas, you should know that in a few days, those princes and princesses should successfully return. You don’t have to specially come here.”
“Is that so?” Chu Nan looked at Archbishop Zigfy in doubt, “You really don’t know who Princess Pamela is?”
Archbishop Zigfy shook his head. “This is the first time I’ve heard this name. Those descendants of the royal family have always been personally arranged by the pope. I didn’t interfere. I think you’re asking the wrong person. Right, did Prince Lekas mean for the two of you to specially come? If so, please tell the prince that since the pope has already made an agreement with him, he won’t go back on his words. Please don’t worry.”
“Yes, alright. In that case, we came too rashly. Please don’t mind us, Archbishop. Goodbye.”
After saying that, Chu Nan bowed simply to Archbishop Zigfy and turned around to pull Angie Prairie’s hand before walking out of the hall with her.
Archbishop Zigfy frowned and stared at their backs. Hesitation flashed across his face, but he still did not make a sound in the end. He watched as the two of them disappeared into the night outside the hall.
After sitting on the spot for a moment, he opened the personal terminal on his wrist. Just as he was about to place his finger and give an order, he stopped. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and entered the room behind the bedroom. When he came out, he had already changed into an inconspicuous black outfit that enveloped his entire body tightly, even his head was hidden.
Then, he turned around a pillar beside the large bed in the room. The ground by the wall suddenly retreated, revealing a black hole that led underground.
Archbishop Zigfy’s figure moved and he jumped into the cave and disappeared.
About ten minutes later, in a wilderness ten kilometers northwest of the Goddess’ Temple, an inconspicuous mound suddenly moved lightly and cut to the side, revealing a black hole. Archbishop Zigfy’s figure jumped out. After closing the hole, he quickly ran west and quickly disappeared into the night.
In the night sky behind him, the figures of Chu Nan and Angie Prairie appeared.
Looking down at the hole that had just closed and become no different from the other grassland around him, Chu Nan could not help but shake his head and laugh.
“Heh, if not for the personal terminal on my wrist reminding me, I would have thought that I had transmigrated back to ancient times. What era is it now? There’s actually such a thing as a tunnel. These guys from the Esevy Goddess Cult are indeed rats. They really like to dig holes.”
“There’s a very powerful anti-detection and blocking device in that tunnel. If not for the fact that you know a high-level elemental power cultivation method, we wouldn’t have discovered him walking out.” Angie Prairie patted Chu Nan, “Alright, it seems that your plan to alert the enemy has succeeded. Let’s go, he’s quickly running out of our vision.”
“Let’s go.”
As the two of them carefully hid in the clouds in the night sky, they chased after Archbishop Zigfy. Although their flying speed was not fast, it was obvious that he had to hide his traces. Therefore, it was impossible for his speed to increase to the highest, allowing the two of them to easily catch up.
This way, the three of them spent about half an hour sneaking less than a hundred kilometers in the night. A dense forest appeared in front of them. At the same time, there were two mountains crisscrossing and a valley sandwiched between them.
Archbishop Zigfy darted into the forest. A moment later, he actually disappeared into the valley and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Nan and Angie Prairie hurriedly landed and stopped at one of the mountains.
“According to these guys’ habit of being rats, I’m certain he went into a mountain again.”
Chu Nan looked around and included the surrounding environment data and the location where Archbishop Zigfy had disappeared in his mind. Soon, he calculated the location where he might be and flew over with Angie Prairie. He lay on another mountain and opened his senses.
As expected, the two of them quickly sensed energy fluctuations coming from the middle of this mountain. They could clearly sense the existence of many people. Among them, there was an extremely intense and obvious energy fluctuation, indicating the existence of another powerful martial artist below.
However, after seriously sensing this powerful energy fluctuation, Chu Nan’s expression became extremely strange.
