Chapter 140 The Desperate Silver Winged Temple Priest
At this moment, the Silver Winged Temple Priest sat on a high platform on a throne, and he seemed extremely dignified and imposing, completely different from his pathetic self in front of the Temple Bishop.
He appeared to be completely human with handsome features and long silver hair, but his eyes were brown eyes were like a hawk's.
In front of the Temple Priest kneeled a gray hair old man in his early fifties, and there was a proud air surrounding him, yet despite that, he was kneeling in front of the Temple Priest like a loyal servant.
Furthermore, this Old man's status was extremely noble in the Regal World because he was the current Silver Winged Union Overseer of the Magic Union and also Hilda's Grandfather, George Victorious.
"You summoned me, Lord Priest?" George impassively said without any intent behind his husky voice. He was an extremely pound man, yet even someone like him had to remain in this position when they were in the presence of the dimension temple!
Temple Priest's eyes shone viciously as he coldly questioned, "I summoned you because I want to know where your Granddaughter, the Silver Battle Angel Hilda is?"
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed past George's eyes before he impassively replied, "She should be with my second son, Grey, gaining worldly experience. It's about time..."
However, Temple Priest cut him short, and he couldn't able to hide his fury any longer, "Gaining worldly experience? George, you someone, and you didn't even know!?"
George finally looks straight into Temple Priest's infuriated eyes bloody old fool, your Granddaughter has been abducted by someone, and you didn't even know!?"
George finally looks straight into Temple Priest's infuriated eyes with bewilderment on his old face before his expression turns cold as he denies this statement, "Not possible. Grey won't let that happen, and I don't think anyone would dare to abduct the heir of the Silver Winged Clan."
Temple Priest was even more furious since he knew better than anyone what had happened and berated George, "Then do you think I'm lying? Not only has she been abducted, but her bloodline has been stripped off from her! You old fool!"
George was shocked and questioned, "Bloodline has been stripped? Is it even possible?"
The Temple Priest realized that he had blurted the fact about the bloodline being stripped from Hilda in his frustration and pressure from the Temple Bishop.
But there was no point in covering up the spilled milk anymore, and this was better since now he could tell George just how huge trouble this would bring to the Victorious Clan and on himself.
"Yes, it is possible, and only someone like me could do it while Hilda is still under Lord Rank. Furthermore, I need you to understand that Hilda is very special. She could pave the way for your clan to be the strongest clan in your world and even destroy the other temple dimension gates, henceforth making your clan the only ruler of the entire regal world.
"I didn't want to tell you about this since she has still yet to mature, but I never expected that someone of my stature would come in contact with her. There are two possibilities; the first one is a Temple Priest like me has entered your world, which shouldn't be possible at this stage of your world development.
"The second one, she has somehow entered another temple dimension and got caught by another temple priest. Now tell me do you understand just how grave this situation is?" The Temple Priest uttered in frustration.
If he could, he would rather not tell George about this at all, but as he said, he can't enter the Regal World. This also showed just how desperate he was to get Hilda and the mask back from whoever took it.
So, only by making George realize how grave this entire matter is and mixing some lies in it, he could make George use all the resources of his clan present in the Regal World to search for Hilda's whereabouts.
George was completely astounded by this revelation, and realization dawned upon him, 'No wonder that little girl is so talented, so there is more to it than meet the eyes. But why did the Temple Priest hide all this information, especially the part about our bloodline being strippable?'
As an old fox, George could easily tell that the Temple Priest was extremely desperate and was not revealing all this out of the kindness of his heart but because he seemed to have no other choice.
"I understand the Temple Priest's intentions. I'll make the arrangement right away to search for my Granddaughter's whereabouts. But if what you said is true and she has been captured by someone like Lord Priest, then we won't be able to get her back." George said matter-of-factly.
Although he was sly, he wasn't a fool to even thought of going against a Temple Priest-like figure. This was the sole reason for the harmony between the ten clans.
They can deal with each other, but they can't deal with the temples behind them, and these temples also didn't promote violence on other temples unless provoked.
So, besides some small skirmish between the ten clans, they won't truly take action against each other, not without concerning their temple dimensions.
The Temple Priest has expected this sort of response, so he said, "All you need to do is to find where Hilda has been taken and report it to me. I'll deal with it from there on. You need to be quick about it. Your entire clan's future depends on it.
"Because if someone were to happen to Hilda, then there would be a new overseer Silver Winged Clan representing the Silver Winged Dimension, not the Victorious Family anymore. You may leave now." The Temple Priest coldly declared.
George's expression clouded when he felt the threat from the Temple Priest's tone, but he could only nod before standing up and leaving.
However, when his face turned around, a vicious glint flashed past his eyes, 'Just what kind of secret is hidden in that Granddaughter of mine? Since this Temple Priest is so desperate to possess her, and even someone from the other dimension has acted, then perhaps the Victorious Family didn't need the Silver Winged Dimension anymore...'
---
Time passed, and one month passed since the emergence of the mysterious dimension, which spread within 150 miles radius.
Now the entire Violet City was filled with all kinds of experts as they all were waiting for the dimension gates to appear.
Some people even suspected that this dimension was probably a Golden Rank Dimension because of the area it covered. This assumption only made people want to enter their first because an unexplored golden rank dimension was a massive treasure trove filled with all sorts of opportunities.
While the ten overseer clans were also keeping a close eye on this mysterious dimension.
Especially the people of the Oath Keeper Clan, who were still thinking that they had an advantage over others because three of their members were probably inside this dimension. Once it is open, they will instantly act.
But the most anxious of them all was the mysterious woman with a black crystal cube.
She wasn't staying in the city. Instead, she was in the south of the dimension mist, camping a few meters away from the dimension mist.
Within a spacious tent, the mysterious woman's eyes were filled with indignation as she was completely out of her wits to what to do about this entire situation.
"You damn useless thing, why in the world you can't enter that dimension while you claim to have the power to enter any dimension, whether they are complete or incomplete, lock or unlock!" She questioned furiously while holding the Dark Chaos Cube in her slender hand.
"Unknown Variable has emerged! The Dark Chaos Cube cannot be used against this dimension. If the Underworld Dimension Seed is fully consumed, then you have to get the dimension seed of the same dimension which consumed it.
"You will have three years to complete this task or your soul will be consumed as punishment for losing the Underworld Dimension Seed!"
A devilish voice rang from the Dark Chaos Cube, which didn't have any emotions, but it sent chills down her spine.
This was the first time she heard this reply from it, and for the first time as well, she felt she had made a mistake in fighting for this cube by staking her life on the line and betraying even her kin.
"L-lord Chaos, please have mercy on me. I just spoke out of my place. I should've known better to speak with a supreme entity like Lord Dark Chaos Cube. But this time, it seemed we both had encountered a terrifying enemy.
"So instead of going there in desperation, I would rather plan in shadows and then strike. So how about we both take a step back and improvise? You know me the best, and I'm not fully healed yet, so can you please not put this time limit?
"I might make some mistake in a hurry which is not good for you and me. Think about it carefully. Whoever the person who is consuming your seed is, it is bound to be powerful and can consume you as well.
"So, think about it before you put up such restriction on me." The woman wily eyes shimmered coldly as she stated the hard-cold fact.
The Dark Chaos Cube's devilish voice rang again, "You have three years!"
