Chapter 871: Chapter 318: The Death of the High Priest (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

Agility: 47

Spirit: 55

Will (Hidden Attribute): 9

...

”Willpower increased by 2 points?” Rein showed a look of surprise.

”Indeed!”

”With this, just 1 more point and my willpower will cross the threshold of 10!”

Rein carefully felt again and realized the Evil Flame Mark’s impact on him was indeed minimal.

Truly, one’s own strength is always the best reliance.

”Huh? The Lance of Langicero upgraded to lv9?”

”Doesn’t this mean that I can now directly enhance it by adding points and comprehend its secret technique!”

Instantly, Rein’s eyes brightened and his face showed delight!

-----------------

Meister.

At the gates of Earl Habbs Mansion.

Accompanied by a guard, Yodel Butler quickly walked out from inside, boarded a luxurious carriage marked with a bird symbol, and the coachman drove the carriage forward.

However, the carriage hadn’t moved far when a graceful female figure in a black robe stopped it in the street.

The figure wore a hood, hiding her features.

”Whoa!”

The coachman had to rein in the horses, and angrily shouted, ”Are you out of your mind?”

”Excuse me, is Mister Yodel Butler inside?” a magnetic female voice asked, making the coachman and guards feel a tingling sensation in their hearts, inexplicably gaining some favorable impression of the black-robed woman.

So when the black-robed woman walked toward the carriage, the two men didn’t make any attempt to stop her.

”Who are you...” Yodel showed confusion, looking at the stranger before him.

The black-robed woman slowly lifted her hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face in front of Yodel Butler, with eyes slightly flashing a mesmerizing glow.

Yodel Butler felt his vision blurring, followed by a dazed and confused state.

Meanwhile, beside the coachman and guard, two tall black-robed figures suddenly appeared.

As the two sensed something amiss, they heard the ’hiss’ breath of a snake signal from the black-robed individuals.

The next moment!

Two serpent-like creatures, with open jaws, burst out from the wide sleeves of the black-robed figures, instantly swallowing the coachman and guard whole, not even allowing them time for a scream.

After the black-robed woman entered the carriage, the two black-robed figures seized control of it and drove towards a distant secluded alley.

”Yodel, tell me how the young man who controlled the giant snake died some time ago, and who was responsible.” The black-robed woman asked, turning her head in the carriage.

”At your command, Madam!”

In Yodel’s eyes, the one questioning him at the moment was the venerable Earl Habbs.

As to why Earl Habbs appeared before him, he didn’t know, nor did he seem inclined to ponder overly complex issues.

Yodel instinctively narrated the entire incident in detail!

”Very good!”

”Then, you are no longer needed.” The black-robed woman calmly stated.

”Hm?” Just then, Yodel’s gaze began returning to clarity, and he heard the last sentence from the black-robed woman.

As he was still pondering the meaning behind her words, suddenly an open jaw descended upon him from above!

Yodel felt darkness enveloping him, a sharp pain coursing through his body, and knew nothing further.

....

The carriage slowly parked within the secluded alley, and the two male black-robed figures immediately entered the carriage interior from the coachman’s position.

”Envoy Ecosela!” The two bowed respectfully.

”The situation is now quite clear, my brother met his end when attacking the Habbs Mansion, killed by an Imperial Sword Bearer named Rein.”

”Envoy Ecosela, what are your intentions...?”

”Now that Rein has returned to the Mingster Swordsmen Division, but my brother’s death is inseparable from this Earl Habbs. I will make everyone in the mansion pay for it!”

”Then I shall make a trip to Mingster....”

”Esteemed Envoy... this.... How about we wait for Lord Edmondo to find the Legendary Earth Snake first? After all, the Pope’s orders were to...” The black-robed individual chose his words carefully, seemingly intimidated by the presence before him.

”Hmm...”

A fair arm reached out, grasping the black-robed person’s throat, immediately cutting off any continued speech.

”I hate being pressured with the Pope!” The pale fingers kept tightening, as if wanting to twist the other’s neck.

The other black-robed man hurriedly bowed respectfully to Ecosela and said:

”Please calm down, Envoy Ecosela, if you attack Habbs Mansion now, completely destroying them isn’t likely, as we are only three, surely someone would escape, and you see.”

Mmm?

Ecosela followed the black-robed man’s pointing gesture, looking through the carriage window towards the sky, where two small black dots flew overhead in Meister.

With Ecosela’s eyesight, it was clear that the black dots in the sky were two Imperial Griffin Knights.

”Therefore, when Lord Edmondo commands the Legendary Earth Snake and joins us, I think that will ensure no one from Habbs Mansion escapes, they’ll be fully eliminated.”

”Waiting is for a better outcome.”

”Very well! You’ve convinced me! I’ll wait two more days then.” Ecosela nodded, releasing her grip, and there was a ’thud’ as the first black-robed man fell hard to the ground, gasping for breath.

The black-robed man’s face had turned crimson, and after taking a frightened glance at Ecosela, he lowered his head, daring not to meet her gaze.

This woman, nicknamed ’Mad Snake’ in the sect, is one of the twelve Secret Snake Envoys, ranking above the Great Priest in status, second only to the Pope, with the ability to independently offer sacrifices to the great Devouring Snake.

”Holdan, my dear brother, sister will kill every one of those who murdered you.” Ecosela whispered.

Though these words weren’t directed at the two elite Secret Snake Sect members beside her, they both felt a chill on their backs, exchanging glances and seeing a hint of pity in each other’s eyes.

Of course, this was pity for Holdan’s killer.

Everyone in the sect knew that Holdan’s sister Ecosela was a supreme ’brother complex.’ Even high-ranking members at the Great Priest level within the sect faced direct questioning if any discord occurred between them and Holdan.

It’s imaginable how brutally the enemy would die this time!

Moreover, they’ve heard about the recent incident.

Recently, Holdan followed the Nome Province’s Great Priest Ganon to Mingster on a mission, a venture specifically arranged by Envoy Ecosela as a ’gilding’ trip.

The aim was to accumulate experience, facilitating future promotions.

But unexpectedly, the ’gilding’ journey cost Holdan his life in Mingster!

This left the ’brother-loving-madly’ Ecosela deeply sad and enraged.

Now, knowing who the murderer is, Ecosela’s wrath is unstoppable.
