Abium knew this Bishop was the main culprit behind this civil war!
In the past, even after Bishop Piers' death by the mysterious necromancer during the Silverland city incident, his few disciples continued his footsteps to work in the shadow and finally even managed to kill all the royal family members.
Then, they made a puppet ruler and turned the Keris kingdom under Light church control.
But that was just the beginning.
Abium clearly remembered that this kingdom became a stronghold for Night Demons after the Royal Family's destruction and became one of the forbidden zones a decade later. Due to the Light believers losing their God's help, those Holy knights were butchered by those Night demons like insects and were eradicated.
Abium would kill Bishop Piers and his disciples if he got an opportunity. He turned his gaze towards those five white-robed arrogant-looking people and knew that these guys were behind all those incidents.
'I've decided to f*ck up their plan later.'
If it were before he entered his Sea of Consciousness, he wouldn't have thought of interfering. But now, he had gained some confidence.
'Moreover, I can't turn a blind eye and watch the Royal Family of Keris Kingdom to fell into ruin.'
'But why did they appear here now at this time? Is it already time for the Large Expedition?' Abium frowned deeply. Then, he shifted his gaze toward the group of ordinary civilians entering the city through a small gate and headed toward them.
Soon, Abium mingled with the crowd and asked a random guy to gather more details. Because of his manly attire, that black-haired adventurer instantly gave him a respected bow and began to answer his doubts.
After a simple exchange, Abium managed to understand the current issue.
His guess was correct. The Light Church, the Keris Royal family, and an unknown organization were planning to go on an expedition to the Taiga Sloth woods within the next few days. Some adventurers seemed to have found an ancient ruin at the depths of that Taiga sloth woods, and all the local adventurers were also planning to join this expedition. As for why these Holy knights, Light Priests, and Lights Bishop were here? It appeared that they were after two fugitives!
It all started when a few Holy knights entered the city to capture two humans two months ago to purify two corrupted souls. But this city guardian mage Sean directly chased them out and even warned them not to cause any problem inside the city ever again.
After that, this mysterious Bishop Piers of Light Church arrived one month ago and ordered mage Sean to send those two humans out. But to their surprise, mage Sean instantly refused his orders and shut down this city most of the time.
He also told them that unless they have the permission letter from Kaummiths academy, he won't let a single Holy knight enter this city. From that day onwards, Bishop Piers and other Light priests would show up at the entrance from time to time and seemed to be preparing for the upcoming expedition while constantly pressuring the mage Sean.
They also seemed to be continuously searching for those two humans stealthily and put the two on the wanted list with a hefty amount.
Alas, they still got disappointed by mage Sean's response.
Abium was not surprised by that mage's reply because the same thing had happened. At that time, a mysterious necromancer went into hiding inside this city.
Well, in the end, that necromancer boldly revealed himself at the end of the expedition and killed this Bishop ruthlessly before he escaped.
'Hmm, it seems Bishop Piers is waiting for Kaummiths Academy's reply.'
Abium knew Academic mages wouldn't even reply and quickly decided to take this matter into his own hands.
As he was thinking, he soon noticed that it was his turn to show his identity.
He quickly took out his noble batch and passed it to the security guard. At that moment, Abium noticed that the one checking his identity was not a warrior but a first-tier mage!
He had never expected that an official mage would be willing to work as a security guard and became astounded inside!
'Maybe because of this Light Church's issue.' He thought to himself.
Meanwhile, the mage, who wore a black robe, checked his batch to see if it was original and let him in quickly.
After that, Abium walked inside Silverland City and began searching for Nicolaus and others. It didn't take long for him to find out where they were staying.
It was an average Inn called Red Meat, situated at 58 Elm Street.
After a few minutes of walking, Abium soon reached Elm Street and soon stood in front of a three-storied building with a symbol of meat and a wine cup on top. His lips arched upward as he confirmed that it was the Inn he was looking for.
Once he entered the Red meat Inn, he quickly moved toward the reception desk and asked the receptionist a question.
Do you know anyone named Nicolaus staying in this Inn?
As his words ended, the whole noisy Inn suddenly turned silent. Soon, a muscular adventurer with short wavy black hair stood up while gripping his sword and asked with a quiet tone.
"Who are you?"
Abium raised his eyebrows and turned his head to observe that particular adventurer. He appeared to be around 35 years old and had brown eyes. He wore a simple brown linen shirt and black pants and had a long sword on his waist.
After a simple scan, he was stunned as he saw that adventurer was a fourth-tier warrior!
Moreover, his other three companions seemed to be at the same level as him. One was a gray-haired old man with blue eyes with darker limbal rings. The other two were both women with black hair and fair skin. All of them wore simple linen shirts and pants and appeared simpler.
'Not a normal bunch indeed. Hmm, something feels off about this wavy black haired guy.' Abium analyzed everything within a second and snapped his finger as if he was playing a magic trick.
Then, everyone saw his figure disappearing from the reception desk!
More than twenty adventurers stayed inside that hall at that moment, and all of them became anxious as they saw him disappearing like a ghost.
"Take me to Nicolaus, quickly." Suddenly, Hooper heard a cold voice from his back, and a finger touched his nape.
A chill went down his spine the next instant.
He instantly knew that he was in deep shit and drew a deep breath.
'F*ck! He is a mage!' He cursed himself for being reckless and slowly nodded with cold sweat on his face. Meanwhile, Crazy Smith, Selma, and Nadine stood near Hooper in a frozen state and quickly turned their heads nervously.
Although Nicolaus informed them that some mage would come and look for him, they didn't expect that mage would be a powerful spatial mage!
They soon felt that his eyes were staring at their soul icily and emitting full killing intent.
The next instant, everyone in the reception hall felt a suffocative feeling!
As Hooper and others were about to collapse, Abium quickly retracted his cold eyes and waited for the wavy black-haired guy's response.
Meanwhile, Hooper dared not to delay anymore and quickly asked Abium to follow after him.
