Chapter 608
Rowen was not dead.
She had faked her death to buy herself some time but all of her unit had been slain by the holy knights sent by Illeion Volten. There was a slim chance a few might have survived, but their numbers were insignificant.
If Rowen was scheming, what could her plan be, and what was she capable of doing?
She had vanished, but she hadn’t left the capital; she was definitely hiding somewhere within its walls.
But where could she be?
I had forged a secret pact with the Church of the Five Great Gods. Although the commander of the Order of the Holy Knights was hesitant, he had no choice but to go along with the popes.
“An encrypted document, huh...”
“Yes. We’re currently working on decoding it.”
The only silver lining was that not all the records in Rowen’s temple had vanished. Those surviving records might hold clues about the current situation and reveal what Rowen had been up to all this time.
Illeion Volten had retrieved them from the temple’s basement and had his people working on decoding them. Thankfully, the Order of the Holy Knights would know how to decipher the encryption that the inquisitors used.
It was just a matter of time. Yes, that cursed time.
“There’s no guarantee that nothing will happen before we’re done.”
