Salute To The General
Chapter 3421 The Divination Results

Before the Curia's Top Three Shadow Guards could arrive, the leader of the Ten Elders of the Curia's Council of Elders, Baccio, showed up.

After hastily bowing to Eugene IV, Baccio anxiously said, "Pope Eugene, there's a serious problem."

Looking at Baccio, Eugene IV slowly asked, "Baccio, have you heard any news?"

Baccio's expression shifted to one of shock, and he shook his head in disbelief. "No, it's not as simple as that. During my regular monthly divination sessions to discern the Curia's fortunes, I encountered an alarming revelation. The divination pointed toward an ominous fate. Furthermore, I have deduced that something untoward has transpired concerning the Holy Maiden of the Curia."

Eugene IV's face turned serious upon hearing this. "Baccio, what have you found?"

Baccio unveiled a truly shocking revelation. "The divination has yielded an unexpected outcome, indicating the emergence of a Fallen Angel, destined to inhabit the Holy Maiden. I have come here explicitly to relay this information. The Holy Maiden is potentially in grave peril, at risk of dying and transforming into a malevolent being."

Eugene IV's face dramatically changed. "Are you saying that Hepburn has been tainted by the dark clans and became one of them?"

Baccio nodded solemnly. "Yes, and my divination results suggest that she might become a vampire."

Eugene IV's countenance turned notably somber as he uttered slowly, "Disturbing news has reached me regarding the unfortunate circumstances faced by Havik and Hepburn in Aploth. Havik audaciously breached the fortified confines of Cross Group's research base, causing widespread chaos and unfurling a horrifying bloodbath, only to meet his demise at the hands of Nathan. Meanwhile, Hepburn fell prey to a sudden assault orchestrated by secret agents from Ariarica, leaving her fate shrouded in uncertainty."

Upon hearing this, Baccio said, "I fear the situation extends beyond a mere abduction orchestrated by Ariarican secret agents!"

Eugene IV exclaimed in shock, "Are you suggesting that it's likely related to Nathan?"

Baccio solemnly nodded. "There are rumors outside now claiming Nathan is the new vampire king. Hepburn's abduction occurred while she was testing Nathan. While the involvement of Ariarican secret agents cannot be discounted, we cannot dismiss any connection to Nathan. Moreover, the fact that Hepburn herself has turned into a vampire adds weight to the speculations surrounding Nathan's alleged role as the vampire king."

With that, Baccio looked at Eugene IV. "Pope Eugene, we are on good terms with Nathan recently. If he is really the vampire king, how should the Curia respond?"

Eugene IV spoke solemnly. "Since

ancient times, we have been in irreconcilable conflict with the dark clan. If Nathan is indeed the vampire king, then we must certainly reveal his identity to the world. In order to avoid causing trouble for his own country, Nathan will surely replace an excuse to resign from all his positions. By then, we can take action against him. If Nathan does not resist, we will consider his past contributions and secretly imprison him. If Nathan resists, then we will call upon the War Gods of the entire world to unite and annihilate him."

Baccio nodded. "That seems quite appropriate."

Right then, the Top Three Shadow Guards of the Curia arrived.

They were the Chief Justice, Eddie; the Governor, Adam; and the Executive Officer, Jovan.

The three of them bowed in unison toward Eugene IV. "Greetings, Pope Eugene and Elder Baccio."

Eugene IV said, "You all know why I've called you here, don't you?"

Eddie nodded. "We are aware about the incident involving Havik's injury and the subsequent disappearance of the Holy Maiden."

Eugene IV said, "Havik acted

impulsively, so let's set aside his death for now. The Holy Maiden concerns our dignity, so we must ascertain her whereabouts without delay of she is still alive, our mission is to locate and rescue her. However, if she has met an unfortunate fate, we must ensure the recovery of her remains. You three are in charge of this."

Eddie and the other two replied in unison, "Got it."

Eugene IV added, "According to the divination of Elder Baccio, it's highly likely that Hepburn has become a vampire, a Fallen Angel. The matter also involve's Nathan and Ariarica.It is crucial that you proceed with utmost caution, conducting your investigation covertly, so as not to attract undue attention.

ым

Furthermore, although your official task is to locate Hepburn as directed by the Curia, there is an additional mission that you are entrusted with."

Eddie said, "Please enlighten us, Pope Eugene."

Eugene IV ordered, "While you're replaceing out Hepburn's whereabouts, replace out if Nathan is the new vampire king."

Eddie and the others unanimously said, "Yes!"
