Chapter 177 The Bishop's Visit
The Grand Duchess said: "There is indeed something about Fanny that would interest a mage."
As expected, Ladi sat quietly opposite her , waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
"Half a year ago, she awakened her potential in magic."
"Is that really the case? Did you guide her?"
"No!" Helen shook her head and denied. "At that time, I followed my tutor to learn magic because of chance and curiosity."
"But as I grew up, I realized how important mages are in this society. After the difficulty, although I didn’t regret my original decision, I didn’t want Fanny to take this path again. If she accidentally...”
“Is there someone else?”
"It's not..."
Her Highness Helen said this, with an expression of half pride and half worry on her face.
"Fanny, she is self-awakened."
"Self-awakened?"
La Di was shocked! People who can self-awaken their magic potential are legendary among the mage community!
"Senior Helen, you...are you really like this?"
Helen replied with great confirmation: "I am sure that Fanny has always been under my supervision. I know exactly who I passed.”
"She didn't realize what this meant at the time, so I asked her not to show this ability in front of anyone except me."
"Senior sister, it seems that she has awakened. It was still known by someone who cared. Children like Fanny don't know how to control their own abilities."
"Yes, I am still not careful enough."
Helen's voice. Revealing regret.
“Now is not the time to talk about this, we...”
Just as Ladi was about to give her suggestion, there was another knock on the door outside.
"What's going on? I'm waiting for a visitor."
The voice of the waiter came from outside the door: "Your Highness, the Bishop of Nisburg, Mr. Elvis, is here to visit."
“Bishop?”
Helen and Ladi frowned. Due to the witch-hunting movement in the south and their own identities, they had an instinctive dislike of clergy.
"Let him go back first, I'm busy now."
"Uh...he handed me a box and said that if you don't want to see him, let me pass the box to you."< br>
"Send it in!"
The door to the room opened, and the waiter came in and carefully placed a box on the table in front of the two of them, and then exited.
Helen opened the box full of doubts.
"This...this is..."
The Grand Duchess suddenly fell into a sluggish state.
La Di looked into the box and saw a necklace inside.
"Senior, is there anything special about this necklace?"
Helen picked up the necklace and looked at it over and over again.
"This is Fanny's necklace! Yes! That's right! It's this necklace, a gift I personally gave to her."
Finally there was a clue, and the face of the Grand Duchess showed a mixture of sadness and joy. look.
“Why is Fanny’s necklace in the hands of the local bishop?”
Helen calmed down immediately. The power of the church, the witch-hunting movement, and Fanny’s magical potential made her The most terrifying scenario suddenly came to mind.
"Senior sister, there is no use in thinking wildly. It is better to meet this Bishop Elvis."
"You're right."...
Bishop Elvis of Nicesburg followed the waiter to the drawing room of the embassy.
Seeing that Her Royal Highness Helen, the Grand Duchess, was already waiting for him inside, the bishop immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Highness! Thank you for taking the time to meet with me."
Helen waved her hand: "Don't say any more polite words. Mr. Bishop, please sit down first."
After Elvis sat down, Helen raised the necklace and asked: "Mr. Bishop, can you explain this?" What's going on?"
"Oh, Your Highness, I believe you have recognized this necklace."
The look on Elvis's face was a bit teasing. .
“The thing is like this, the church raided the stronghold of a group of evil wizards not long ago, and we met unexpected people there.”
"Fanny?"
"Exactly, it is your sister who was kidnapped not long ago - Baroness Fanny. This necklace belongs to the Baroness."
Helen My heart was shocked, partly because I finally expected news about my sister, and partly because my sister had fallen into the hands of the church.
She pretended to be calm and said in a slightly majestic voice: "Thank you for rescuing my sister, but why not just send her back?"
Elvis The bishop looked half smiling.
"Your Highness Helen, in addition to this necklace, we also found something interesting on the Baroness."
Helen felt bad, "What is it?"
"Magic power, Your Highness, we found the magic power of the wizard in the Baroness."
"Absurd!"
The Grand Duchess scolded sternly.
"It's not ridiculous at all, Your Highness Helen. After all, the matter is very important. We asked all the witch hunting experts stationed in this city to come to confirm, but they came to a unanimous conclusion - Baroness Fanny is a witch, or is a witch. Walking on the road to the witch."
Helen stood up suddenly, "She is just an eleven-year-old child."
Elvis said immediately: "It's ten. A one-year-old child, but also an eleven-year-old witch, her young age does not mean that she can ignore her sins."
"Sin? She would feel guilty even if she stepped on an ant! The magic power was also caused by being seduced by the evil witch. She has no idea what it means!"
"Your sister does claim to know nothing, but as you know, Your Highness, witches are always good at deceiving! and demagoguery.”
Helen stared at Elvis coldly: "I will let the archduke lodge a protest with the Archbishop of Corner Bay!"
The bishop smiled, with no worried expression on his face, "You don't have to move the archbishop to suppress me. , the archbishop will definitely stand with me on the attitude towards wizards.”
Helen was so anxious that she wanted to call someone to arrest this arrogant and disrespectful guy immediately, and then mobilize people to go to Nisburg. Cathedral search.
But she calmed down. After her sister fell into the hands of the church, although they did not send her back, they did not publicize it publicly.
If you think about it carefully, Fanny is a noble with a high status after all, the wife and sister of the Grand Duke of Eton. No matter how arrogant the church is, it does not dare to make its own decision. This will arouse the anger of the entire Corner Bay nobles.
Helen calmed down her heartbeat and regained her composure in her tone.
"How do you, Mr. Bishop, plan to deal with my sister-in-law?"
"What to do? Your Highness is serious."
"Aren't all the ways you treat the so-called 'wizards' the same? Burning at the stake?"
Elvis shook his head repeatedly: "That's for ordinary civilian wizards. For a noble person like Dame Fanny, she is just going astray. There have been cases like this before. We usually ask their family members to strictly discipline them and to think about their mistakes behind closed doors and get back on the right path.”
"After all, you nobles are always privileged!"
This sentence is full of irony.
