Chapter 46 Betrayal
Chapter 46 Betrayal
After returning and leaving again, Karl only stayed in the family for three days. Now the focus of the territory is no longer Tianfeng County, a fact that Karl also told Lin and the others.
Whenever the time is right, the family will try to relocate.
Although the journey will be very long, there are now many level nine experts in the family, which is enough to cross the entire Monster Mountain Range.
Upon returning to the Skywind Kingdom, Karl received bad news.
One of the core members of the kingdom's high-ranking officials has betrayed him.
"Tell me the specifics of the situation."
"Your Majesty, this was my mistake, and I am willing to accept my punishment." Without saying a word, Kevin knelt straight on the ground.
Kevin's attitude of "do whatever you want with me" left Carl speechless for a moment.
After all, all of this is closely related to me.
"So, Casa disappeared the night before last?"
After hearing Luo's explanation, Karl finally understood the matter.
A few days ago, Karl appointed two level-nine peak members as high-ranking members of the legion. After that, he returned to the Holy Alliance. In just a few days, Kasa also gained Kevin's attention.
It was this emphasis that led Kevin to tell Kasa about the magic crystals.
Although the magic crystal mine has been completely mined out, Karl has only claimed to have a small vein.
While small mineral veins are valuable, even if they are mined, their value is only a few hundred billion gold coins. This is enough to make a duchy soar to great heights, but those kingdoms with holy domains would not risk their lives against a powerhouse of the same level for such a small amount of money.
But if you exchange hundreds of billions of gold coins for tens of trillions, the value will be different.
This is wealth enough to tempt even Saint-level experts. And this is only the value after being converted into gold coins. Magic crystals themselves are treasures that can influence wars.
"So far, is there any concrete news?" Karl asked.
"Your Majesty, all intelligence reports have been submitted. However, Kasa is a peak level nine expert, and the only known fact is that someone near the Dark Church has reported seeing him." The minister in charge of intelligence said nervously.
"The Dark Church?" Karl closed his eyes and remained silent.
Since Casa was recognized by the system, it means he genuinely pledged allegiance. However, money can be tempting, and people's hearts are the most difficult thing to define.
at the same time.
While Karl and the others were still speculating, in a highly secluded underground palace within the Dark Church's stronghold in the Chaos Realm, figures entered from different places.
These people were all dressed in black robes, some carrying high-energy-reacting staffs, while others wore armor under their robes.
These people occasionally nodded to each other, and some even exchanged words. After everyone was seated, Kasa walked in from outside the door. Behind Kasa were two other men in black robes whose auras were equally strong.
"Gentlemen."
The black-robed figure sitting in the head seat spoke softly, his voice low but clear enough for everyone present to hear.
Seeing that the seated people were all looking over, the figure sitting in the head seat continued speaking.
"The person before you was once from the Yulan Empire. Not long ago, he was a general in the legion under the Holy Alliance. Now he has defected to our Dark Church."
"Rashev, just say what you want to say. We don't have time to listen to your rambling."
Before Rashev could finish speaking, he was interrupted by one of them.
When Rashev looked at the person who had spoken with some dissatisfaction, the figure slowly raised his head.
Beneath the long, black robe was an extremely pale face, with sunken cheeks that looked like a layer of dried-up skin hanging on the face. Above the bloodless lips was a high, hooked nose, and above that were emerald green pupils, though the eye sockets were so deep that they were hard to spot without careful observation under the hood.
"Mite, think about how many times you've interrupted my meetings," Rashev said coldly.
"Do you want to hear your long-winded explanation? Just get straight to the point," Mit said without backing down.
Seeing that the others all looked on with amusement, Rashev snorted and continued, "In the newly established Kingdom of Tianfeng, a large magic crystal mine was discovered, and the magic crystals that have been mined so far are worth no less than tens of trillions."
As he said this, Rashev gestured with his hand.
"At least fifty quadrillion?"
The others, who were initially disappointed at not being able to watch the show, instantly perked up.
"Indeed, according to the information brought by this level nine warrior, the magic crystals have already filled most of the palace," Rashef said.
"If I remember correctly, the Holy Domain of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom has been a Holy Domain for less than a hundred years."
The once somewhat dignified meeting room quickly turned into a bustling marketplace.
Kasa, who was hoping to advance further based on this news, was completely dumbfounded.
Although everyone knows that many places that look impressive are actually just makeshift teams, Casa didn't expect it to be this rudimentary.
"In my opinion, we should just kill that guy. He's a member of the Holy Alliance anyway, and it's unlikely he'll be on the same side as us."
There were only seven people who could be seated in the meeting room, and all seven of them were Saint-level powerhouses from within the Dark Church.
However, since they came to this place to develop their faith, although all seven of them were at the Saint Realm level, only three of them had truly comprehended the profound mysteries.
Rashev, Mit, and Ulamigil, who had been sitting there silently.
Of these three, Rashev is a peak dark-elemental warrior, Mit is a noble necromancer-elemental peak archmage, and Ulamigil, who has remained silent, is the core member of the Dark Church.
A six-winged fallen angel whose strength is comparable to that of a peak Saint.
The three people are ancient beings who have lived for one or two thousand years, while the remaining four Saint-level beings have advanced in the last few hundred years. Some of them have already achieved great success in comprehending the power of heaven and earth and are only one step away from reaching the peak of the Saint-level.
Some people are still trying to understand the power of heaven and earth.
"Let's verify this news first. If it is indeed true, then you have made an outstanding contribution to the Lord. If you want to achieve the Holy Domain, I will do my best to help you."
The group's discussion grew louder and louder, and at that moment, Ulamijir, who had been silent all along, looked directly at Kasa, who was standing at the door, and spoke.
"For the sake of the Holy See, Kasa is willing to give his life." Upon hearing this, Kasa suddenly felt that the pitch-black environment was like the sun in the sky.
I was initially a little doubtful about whether I had done something wrong, but now I am so glad I made that choice.
