1447 Reason to Not Kill Them

A young man in his thirties wearing the standard uniform of the Archbishop of the Esevy Goddess Cult also flew over and stopped beside Pope Lockmarton. He glanced at the teleportation door and bowed to him before asking, “Your Majesty, are we letting them go just like that? It’s rare for Prince Lekas to dare to come alone. If we don’t take this opportunity to kill him, I’m afraid we won’t have a better chance in the future.”

“You…” Pope Lockmarton sighed softly, “You must look further into the future. Although we have the chance to kill Prince Lekas this time, with his strength, we will definitely pay a huge price to kill him. Moreover, it’s impossible for us to hide the commotion of killing him. The Declan Empire will know that we did it sooner or later. At this moment, the alliance is not prepared to directly fight the Declan Empire. It’s not beneficial for us to directly kill him.”

“However, Prince Lekas is the second-ranked figure in the Declan Empire. His death will definitely cause internal chaos in the Declan Empire. According to the analysis of the alliance’s strategic department, this might even cause internal strife in the Declan Empire. Moreover, being able to kill Prince Lekas will definitely cause a huge blow to the confidence of those people in the Declan Empire and increase the morale of the alliance greatly. No matter how one looks at it, it should be a very cost-effective deal.”

“Is that so?” Pope Lockmarton turned to look at the Archbishop beside him. There was an intriguing meaning in the warm smile that had always been on his face, “Let me ask you, after the news spreads, who will the Declan Empire think attacked first?”

“Of course, it’s an alliance…” the Archbishop replied. When he saw the strange smile on Pope Lockmarton’s face, a chill suddenly arose in his heart. He opened his eyes, then restrained all the expressions on his face and lowered his head, “I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty.”

There was no need for Pope Lockmarton to make it too clear. He was not a fool. Thinking about it, he had actually figured out why the pope had clearly chosen such a conservative method in this matter despite his very radical attitude towards those heretics in the Declan Empire.

It was very simple. If he really did this, even if he achieved his goal in the end and really killed Prince Lekas, this way, the Esevy Goddess Cult would definitely become the greatest enemy of the Declan Empire.

For the future of the alliance, it was naturally not a problem for the Esevy Goddess Cult to make some contributions or even sacrifices. However, if they sent the entire sect to die with them, it would be too insulting to the reputation of Goddess Esevy’s intelligence.

Pope Lockmarton laughed, raised his hand, and gently patted the shoulder of the high priest.

“Among the few High Priestesses, you’re the youngest. I also think the most highly of you being able to take over the light of the Goddess in the future. However, there are some things that you still seem a little immature. May the Goddess’s wisdom guide you forward.”

“Yes, Goddess. I’ll always follow in your footsteps.”

“Very good.”

Pope Lockmarton nodded in satisfaction. He turned around and looked at the teleportation door. He slowly raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger. A trace of bright silver light seeped out from the finger and slowly condensed into shape, enveloping the entire teleportation door like a silver plate.

Under the light of the silver plate, the light of the teleportation door gradually dimmed. In the end, it completely disappeared bit by bit.

Pope Lockmarton gently exhaled, and a trace of exhaustion flashed across his face.

Forcefully suppressing the naturally produced spatial vortex in the Endless Abyss was also a heavy burden to a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist like him. If not for his deep understanding of the teleportation door here and extremely powerful relevant research in the alliance, it was impossible for him to do it even with his special cultivation method.

“Alright, close the teleportation door on the other side at the same time and study the remaining children well. In addition, don’t relax on those noble princes and princesses. Continue to increase the dosage and let them spit out the Exterminating Heart Technique as soon as possible. Also, regarding the alliance…”

After resting for a moment, Pope Lockmarton instructed the high priest beside him before waving him away.

After the Archbishop left, Pope Lockmarton turned around and stared at the calm space where the teleportation door had disappeared. Suddenly, he pointed at his chest and bowed strangely to the air that Chu Nan had seen before.

“Oh Goddess, the seeds have already been scattered. May the light of the Goddess spread through these seeds to the territory of those barbarians and let them accept the Goddess’ baptism and become your loyal believers.”

After muttering a catechism that no one understood in a low voice, Pope Lockmarton turned around and “walked” back to the low-altitude floating shuttle from the air.

The shuttle took off and left a moment later, and the entire space returned to its original calm.

The light of the star gradually retreated in the air. Although the starlight provided by the vast and dazzling star in the starry sky of the Endless Abyss made the night not so dark, it was still much dimmer than in the day.

From time to time, the low roars of ferocious beasts could be heard from an unknown place on the quiet grassland. It was mixed with the rustling of some small animals, but it still looked lively.

A night wind blew, causing the grass on the grassland to sway on the ground. However, when it blew to the location of the teleportation door, it was as if it had suddenly encountered a transparent wall and scattered into balls of chaotic airflow.

A fluorescence suddenly lit up, and then it quickly expanded into a faint jade light.

When the light expanded to the same size as the original teleportation door, a figure crawled out.

“It’s indeed possible.” Chu Nan flew away from the portal that he had forcefully opened. With a thought, he pulled back the spatial energy that he had mobilized to inject into the portal and the light instantly disappeared.

In the next moment, he had already flown far away on the grassland and disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later, Chu Nan quietly landed from the sky and leaned over in the grass. He looked up and a row of small but orderly wooden houses entered his vision.

This was the temporary base of the Esevy Goddess Cult that they had just left for less than a day.

Chu Nan glanced around but did not approach. Instead, his gaze locked onto a tree outside the base that did not look abnormal.

After patiently waiting for a while and confirming that there was no movement around him, Chu Nan circulated his Internal Breath and activated the Hidden Dragon Reconnaissance cultivation method to quietly sneak towards the three trees.

Although it was only less than a kilometer away, it took him more than 20 minutes to slowly climb.

When he arrived under the tree, Chu Nan glanced at the bottom of the tree root and saw two protruding roots entangled at the foot of one of the trees like two pythons.

“It’s here.”

Chu Nan carefully crawled over and stretched out his hand to enter the middle of the two roots. He touched the ground and did not circulate any cultivation method. He only used his physical strength to dig open the soil and quickly felt his finger touch something soft.

He took out that thing and saw that it was a piece of cloth that had been torn out of nowhere.

Looking at this bright starlight, there were only two numbers common to the Milky Way on the cloth.

These two numbers represented a coordinate.
