Chapter 323 Meet Hulu Valley

Since the great His Majesty Laurent ascended the throne, this has been a great turmoil in the imperial capital.

Almost all the dignitaries in the imperial capital, and all the guilds witnessed this bloody tragedy. Affiliated to the Holy See's fanatical tribunal, under the pretext of '23 alchemy taboos', swept the alchemy guild with the momentum of a lightning storm.

On this day, it happened to be the alchemy conference held by Star. The encirclement of more than a hundred knights of the crazy judgment house caused a huge loss to the alchemy guild. The first pharmacist in the mainland died in battle, three guild elders died in battle, and nearly a thousand alchemists died. In every turmoil, new leaders will stand up to resist the crisis. Of course, this time is no exception! Under the leadership of the new legendary alchemist Star, he successfully repelled this targeted attack by the Holy See.

And he also killed a monster who claimed to be 'legendary alchemist Gle'.

In the end, the knights of the fanatical trial were completely annihilated at a tragic price, but only one person was exposed. The great legendary alchemist Star burned the bodies of all the rebels in public and regained his face for the heavily damaged alchemy guild in public.

The great turbulence this time can be described as ups and downs. It was also this time that the young talent of the empire had the title of a strong man on the mainland, and also laid the foundation for him to become a legendary alchemist.

- Excerpted from Biography of the Legendary Alchemist in the Chronicles of the Empire

This is the official historical record of the empire on that day. In the text, there is no mention of how Starr fought or even how he defeated the monster. Of course, many important roles have also been missed - the main person who set off this storm, Miss Sithers!

This woman seems to appear out of thin air. No matter how future historians look through history books to find this woman's information, there is no evidence. It seems that she first appeared in the eyes of everyone at the dance that night. And the second time, the storm was brewing.

A bucket of water was poured down. The blood stains scattered by thousands of people seem to have a pungent smell of blood no matter how they are washed. The soldiers walking here and there protected the square tightly. Only those who wear the badge issued by the alchemy guild can enter and exit here. They all look awe-inspiring, as if facing a great enemy, any past clergy will make them nervous. Even other people must go through layers of inspection before they can be put into the square of the alchemy guild. It can be seen that the defense is tight.

On that day, after Star repulsed the monster who claimed to be Glear, he burned the bodies of the clergy of the Holy See in public, which made Feiglan leave angrily. Although a group of alchemists were unwilling, they still let them leave. Even Starr saw that if they really wanted to fight with the Holy See, the five guilds present would suffer more serious turmoil than today.

Of course, the Holy See will also pay a great price.

It's just some damage. Starr will not simply think that it has hurt the internal strength of the Holy See. Perhaps the knights in the fanatical tribunal present today are just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Holy See. After all, the strength of the Holy See, which has always been favored by the goddess, is naturally unfathomable. Just like that Ms. Sethirs, Starr still can't figure out her strength!

When looking at the knights of the Holy See who left with Feigrang angrily, all the alchemists let out loud cheers - it was like a festival.

These cheers, like a sharp needle, easily pierced Feigrand's heart. Quietly looking back at the alchemists who were still cheering, Feigrand clenched his fists, and his anger made his shoulders tremble. This is the only time he has lost his temper more than twice today!

"Star, you bastard!" Feigran scolded fiercely. At the beginning, I didn't agree with the proposal of the old guys in the crazy trial. This boy was an asshole. He was really smart. If you know how to exchange the least price for the greatest benefit, and you want to get a little benefit from his hand, there is no way. Lord Sethus, why did you say 'she' personally send down the oracle to let this man be a cardinal?

The two rode all the way, and the conversation had already wrapped themselves in a silent boundary, so that even the Holy See knights who were close to them could not hear the conversation between them. If someone hears it, I'm afraid it will be shocked and can't believe it!

Although the Fanatical Trial is independent of the Holy See, the most powerful person is also on the same level as the Pope. It's just that the former is inside and the latter is outside. However, when all people in the Holy See the Pope, they must honor your majesty! Just like Star's cardinal, everyone must respect him as Lanxia. But now it is hard to believe that this mysterious woman wants the highest chief executive of the Holy See to call her 'adult'.

And the more unimaginable is yet to come!

Although the elders of the Fanatical Trials have a lot of power, Flegrand, as the Pope, still has the 'one-vote veto power'. That is to say, the Cardinal's deposed or not only needs his words. But now he actually asks Sethus for instructions... And from Feigrand's tone, there is a supreme 'she' in the Holy See.

It was 'she' who decided that Star would become a cardinal!

"You talk too much today!" Her will is not something you can guess, and no one is allowed to disobey her meaning. But that human being is really tricky. What happened today is all in his hands. Sethus frowned and said. You'd better pray that he doesn't hear those clues from your words, or 'she' will be angry!"

"I'm sorry, my lord!" Feigland immediately took a breath of cold air and wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. But I can't figure out why 'she' launched such a storm against the alchemy guild? In such a tight time for jihad, doing so will greatly reduce the reputation of the Holy See.

"You don't understand!" Sethus shouted.

Setherston paused and then continued. This time, the situation of jihad is much more complicated than you think. It is not only the demons in the abyss plane who participate in the war. Death is about to recover. If he recovers, the monsters in the 'land of evil diseases' will rage throughout the continent without hindrance, and no one can stop them. You know, what Death has is not just to take life. At the same time, he will also give an infinite vitality to a creature!"

"Just like the old man who calls himself Glear?" Feiglang frowned and asked. I smelled a strong vitality from his breath, comparable to the dragon... No, even the dragon is not as strong as his vitality. This is beyond human imagination!"

So you don't have to know all this. What you have to do now is to manage your Holy See well. Increase the number of believers... Prepare for jihad. After the victory of the Jihad, your name will not only be recorded in history forever. Said Sethus.

"Yes, my lord!" Feigrang nodded.

When the group of Holy See knights have been disappearing in the square, Star's eyes are still in the direction they left. Although he really wants to try his best to keep these Holy See knights and get another breath of anger, the current situation still does not allow it.

Even the knights who killed those fanatical judges have violated the principle of Star - the principle of 'equivalent exchange'.

Star looked at what Sethus had just thrown in his hand and clenched the palm of his hand fiercely. At the same time, a fire burst out burned it into ashes.

The mess here in the alchemy guild has been taken over by President Doriel. It will take a long time for the alchemy guild to calm down the damage caused by this turbulence. At the same time, the other four major guilds also began to be secretly vigilant against the Holy See. Such a powerful organization will always make people feel a little palpitated!

Of course, it's the same with Star!

Roland sent a praetorian guard to station directly here. Although it is impossible for the Holy See to attack again in a short time, it is not only just in case, but also represents the official support of the empire.

"When you're done, come to the palace to find me!" Roland seemed to see that there was still something in Star's heart, and he made a special order before leaving.

Although Star nodded and promised, he didn't hear a word clearly. His mind is still in the turmoil that just happened... This is Starr's habit. After each thing is done, he will think back and forth about it and see the deepest essence through some superficial phenomena.

Of course, he soon found out the strangeness of today's affairs.

First, the holy war is approaching, and the Holy See's such a big attack on the alchemy guild, whether today's event is successful or not, will cause great turmoil in the alchemy guild. At the same time, it will also be a blow to the reputation of the Holy See. This is simply a thing that is not worth the loss! Any smart person can figure it out and won't do it. But the Holy See did it, and it was so decisive!

Then, there must be something inside the Alchemy Guild that Starr hasn't known so far. And the Holy See has known this! That's why they can't wait to launch this 'white storm'!

Second, Feigland's words!

The Pope's power in the Holy See is not ordinary, and the deposing of the cardinal is just a matter of his words. It was he who banned the three cardinals at the same time... It can be seen that there must be some problems in this.

The third, the identity of Sethus!

The identity of Sethers has always been a mystery for Starr. From her appearance to now, even Roland, His Majesty the Empire, has done his best to investigate her identity. It can be seen that she is really extraordinary. And Star also noticed some more subtle things!

Sathers's strength and her position in the Holy See!

The blow to Sethus by yourself is not something that ordinary people can dodge. With such a close distance and a sudden attack, even if Greer is nearby, he may be hit. But Sethus flashed easily! And there was a strange force in her breath, which made Star a little disgusted.

And her status in the Holy See is even more extraordinary!

The mysterious woman Sethus, Star couldn't help frowning.

After thinking for a moment, as Sethus said when he left, he would meet her soon.

"Star, this may be a trap. That woman is not a good guy!" Kaninage said affirmatively. Out of any woman's intuition, no matter which woman is alone with the person she likes, she is not a good guy.

"I understand that. But I have to go! Alice and Old Billy are still in their hands. If I don't go, they will be more and less lucky!" Star smiled and signaled that she didn't have to worry.

"Your excellency, this woman's identity is extraordinary!" Leren came over with a horse.

"Have you noticed it too?" Star couldn't help raising his eyebrows. I thought I was too nervous!"

"No, Leren is right. This woman's identity is absolutely detached within the Holy See, and even the old Pope has to retreat!" Quiles said in a low voice. When they left just now, I noticed that the woman's mount was faintly over Feigrand's head. Many times, Feiglan can catch up!"

Identity is always the level of this society, and only the highest-ranking person in the group can go ahead. This is not only etiquette, but also represents a strict concept of hierarchy. Based on this, Star once discovered the secret between Agarish and Desha in the alchemy castle. Now, with this detail, Sethus' detached position in the Holy See has been discovered.

"And her strength is not ordinary!" Kaninage said nervously. Even I may not be able to avoid your previous attack, but she easily avoided it. Maybe this is a trap!"

Rejected everyone's dissuasion. Before the sun went down, Star rode a horse alone. From the northeast gate of the imperial capital, I went out of the city and went to the northeast Acropolis.

The people guarding the city gate recognized the popular star of the imperial capital from afar, and they dared to stop it when they saw the Duke's anxious face. The gate was opened early and the road was made.

Stopped at the gate, Star asked. Is there a small town called Gaoyin and a place called Hulu Valley in the Northeast Acropolis of the Imperial Capital?

"Hulu Valley? Duke, you are talking about the mound in Gaoyin Town. As long as you go all the way down this road and continue to the northeast after entering the town, you will arrive in less than an hour. The guard replied respectfully.

All the way into Gaoyin Town and continued to the northeast, Star finally rushed to the 'Hulu Valley' when the sun went down.

Looking at the nightfall, Star rode directly into the valley. Then he walked into the place that looked like a gourd mouth in the valley. Obviously, this valley is usually sparsely populated, with thorns and gravel all the way to the end. The horses couldn't walk here at all. Sta simply abandoned the horse and walked into the valley.

This valley is like being surrounded by two hills, and the middle is like being suddenly choked by a pair of hands, making the two sections of the open space in the valley very large. But there is only a thin sheep intestine path in the middle. Perhaps it is because of the appearance of this valley that it has the name of 'Hulu Valley'. And there is only one exit in this valley. If you want to go out, you must only return the same way.

Star quietly laid an alchemy array at this only entrance.

Just after walking through the first 'gourd body' of 'Hulu Valley', Star saw the place that Sethus wrote in the note from afar.

It's just that Star looked from afar. When night fell, there was also a bonfire in the open space. A figure sat by the fire with his back to the exit.

"Are you here?" The figure asked without looking back. It was the voice of Sethus.

Star smiled and did not answer. Instead, he couldn't help but looked at the surrounding environment.

Although it is the late autumn season, the valley is still full of vitality. Not only are there thick leaves under the feet, but even the trees growing on the hills are still full of branches and leaves. Looking from afar, it looks like a big umbrella, covering the sight of the distance.

Looking around, there are black woods. There is also a continuous 'cooing' call of owls in the forest!

Sethirs turned around and only saw a tall and thin shadow slowly coming in the dark night. The black blood-stained robe was hidden in the night, like a ghost.

Sta's pace was very light, and it was not until he walked into the range of the bonfire that the beating flame reflected on his handsome face.

"It seems that you are the only one?" Star sat opposite Sethir around the bonfire. Didn't you say that you would give me Alice and old Billy here tonight?

"How do you know that only one person came here?" Sethus smiled, broke the branch, and threw it into the bonfire. Why don't I let people ambushed in the valley? You know, this is an excellent ambush site. The terrain here is uneven and full of trees. With your spirit, you can't cover every place in this valley.

Sta was stunned. I didn't expect that my strength had been seen through by Sethirs. Indeed, as she said, she didn't have this ability. Even if your spiritual power barely covers 'Hulu Valley', there will be many dead corners, which cannot be explored.

But this sentence is Seth's plan. No matter who is, how strong the strength is, the fluctuation of their own magic or fighting spirit will always cause some discord in the spontaneous combustion world. Maybe I can't detect it, but the owls perched on the treetops should be clear about all this.

Thinking of this, Star was slightly unhappy.

"No old Billy and Alice, will you come to me?" Sethus said with a smile.

"Who the hell are you?" Star asked.

"Star, why do you pretend that you don't know anything? In fact, you vaguely guessed about my identity as early as half a year ago. What's more, you also have the help of His Majesty the Empire!"

Star snorted and looked at Sethus sitting opposite... This guy, even if Roland did his best to find out her identity. Now that she has an appointment with herself alone, what is her intention?

"Well, I only know that ten years ago, the Holy See threatened that the young girl was running for sainthood. In any case, these girls will return to their hometowns after success or failure to spread the gospel on behalf of the Holy See. But as far as I know, those girls have been without any communication since then. If I'm right, your body... is one of the girls back then. You are only seventeen years old, which is very suitable for the time!" Star hated it.

"That old man Feigland, although he asked me to be a cardinal, he kept everything from me. I can't read these extremely dense materials in the Holy See! What the hell is going on?"

"Haha..." Sethus laughed like a ghost, and his voice was full of mockery. You are right. In order to come, the Holy See has to choose some pure girls to serve our bodies. It's just that the human body is so weak that even half of the angels who have succeeded in coming have not even reached half. Even the most suitable perfect body will overflow because the energy is too powerful... overflow, yes! That's what you humans call the scars.

"Arrival? What are you talking about?" Star's eyes became cold, and the jumping bonfire in front of him was suppressed by invisible murder.

"That's right, it's coming! Of the more than a thousand girls selected, only a dozen of them succeeded. And the rest died because they couldn't bear the strength. Ha, poor child, finally returned to the arms of the goddess!" Sethus nodded gently, with a trace of pretentious pain in his expression.

"Bastard! You damn bastards, how dare you attack the alchemy guild under the pretext of '33 taboos of alchemy'!" Star stood up angrily. He felt so angry for the first time. The already white skin became more and more pale. With the help of the fire, it can be seen that ** is quickly covered with a circle of strange black magic lines on the skin outside the clothes.

Two huge and hovering demon horns stretched out from Star's forehead and have been winding behind his head. The black hair was raised high by the strong wind, and the corners of the clothes made a wanton noise.

"Demon, it's really a demon! No wonder you are full of a smell that I don't like very much!" Sethus was still sitting in front of the bonfire. Facing the furious Star, he didn't even mean to get up at all. But I'm here today to make a deal with the devil. This is really ironic!"

With that, behind Cyrus, the golden armor was suddenly shattered. The wing was crystal clear, and the wings with an extremely holy luster suddenly opened from behind.

In the night, it is like a supreme goddess.

However, opposite him stood a demon who kept releasing murderous intent.

"Other people say that you are very smart, but in fact, I don't think so." Sethothers said coldly. Under the firelight and under the firefly, her beautiful pale face is so beautiful that people can't breathe.

"What do you mean?" Star asked.

"If you are smart, you shouldn't do it with me. Old Billy and Alice are still in the Holy See!" Sethus laughed.

"After killing you, I will go to the Holy See to find them by myself!" As soon as the words fell, Star suddenly felt a scorching breath coming from behind. He quickly flashed his body and heard a shout. Under a slight golden flame, a crystal clear sword stuck in the position he had just stood. And the sword is floating up and flying to Sethus's hand.

Star narrowed his eyes. This so-called coming angel is definitely a bad guy.

Whether from her breath or the way she dodged her own attack before, it shows that she is an extremely powerful guy!

"Kill me?" Sethus sneered and shouted loudly. So human beings are extremely ignorant!"
