Chapter 495: The First Gospel
As Annan saw more and more sentries, her heart grew heavier.
If the princess was not in the Tower, but deep within the Royal Palace they were approaching, Ashe would have no chance of getting through – there were simply too many guard posts along the way. If Ashe attempted, an alarm would be triggered. And if her senses were correct, they had just passed by at least two Sanctuaries.
Although it was no secret that Nabistin had a high concentration of Sanctuaries and legends, she hadn’t expected such a dense gathering of high-ranking sorcerers!
Purple Moth was starting to regret having Ashe follow the original plan. But given the situation at the time, splitting up was undoubtedly the best choice. If the princess was still in the Tower, Ashe could directly complete the mission; if the princess was on their side, she could inform Ashe to come and assist.
However, the guards were so tight here that their target had to be someone important, most likely the New Empress. The bad news was they would have to complete the mission themselves.
Annan slightly turned her head to exchange glances with Banjeet, Igor, and Harvey, silently updating their plan. Harvey and Banjeet each had a card in their hand, ready to summon a coffin and the Frost Twin Guns if needed.
It was clear that Banjeet’s suitcase couldn’t be brought into the Royal Palace. Besides, in the likely event that they had to escape, simply running wouldn’t suffice-they needed a mode of transport. Having a spatial artifact would be crucial for their survival.
Thus, Banjeet dismantled the suitcase, using a significant amount of Gospel points to transform it into six cards with spatial storage capabilities that any sorcerer could use. The trade-off was that the internal space was reduced by 90% and had limited durability.
After passing through the sixth guard post, they finally reached their destination: a small, ivory-white palace surrounded by violets.
