Chapter Vol. 3 Ch. 146
After briefly treating Polly’s injuries and ensuring that she was no longer in mortal danger, Edwina, Theresa, and the two White Feather girls who had previously fought the gray-robed figures gathered together and exchanged some information.
Among them, Edwina bluntly expressed her intention to take Theresa away and made it clear that the current manpower left in the Azure Sky Kingdom was completely insufficient to care for or protect her. The task would be handed over to the joint kingdom envoy.@@@@
Although it sounded a bit uncomfortable, the two White Feather girls had to admit that what the Holy Knight said was not unfounded.
Since the arrival of that gray mist, everything had gone completely chaotic.
People were dying suddenly everywhere, and the gray-robed figures, whose origins were unknown, were attacking everything in sight. Of the six members of the Wings of Freedom, half had to leave to suppress riots due to the excessively chaotic situation.
And after so long, there was still no support from headquarters, indicating that the situation elsewhere would only be worse than here. Even if Edwina insisted on taking Theresa away, they couldn’t stop her.
Moreover, the other party was a friend, not an enemy. Just now, she had saved Polly, and the name Edwina Cecilia was also well-known to them.
After weighing the pros and cons, the two White Feather girls left with their unconscious companion, realizing that helping their teammate stabilize the situation or sending Polly for further treatment was more valuable than watching over a village girl.
Captain Sigrid’s investigation had already yielded preliminary results, and she had planned to release Theresa soon, but had to postpone it temporarily due to the sudden disaster in the north.
Watching the three leave, the Holy Knight seemed lost in thought as she, along with the village girl trailing behind her and the conspicuous shining orb, approached the bodies of the gray-robed figures strewn across the ground.
Violet had already briefed Edwina on the matter of the Light Elemental Spirit, so although Edwina was surprised, she didn’t pay much attention. After all, it was something left behind by that deity, so it was normal no matter how powerful it was.
What she was more concerned about was these suddenly emerging peculiar things.
Some time ago, on the day when assassins appeared in the Feathered Emperor’s Palace, the Wings of Freedom and the Sky City Guards subsequently conducted a large-scale search. Originally, this was just a routine response to the situation, after all, the fact that the opponents could slip into the presence of Her Majesty the Feathered Emperor and then safely escape hadn’t been anticipated by the Winged people.
But for some reason, they were indeed found.
The individuals found at that time were just like these people, wearing gray robes, looking particularly strange. They had hidden in some residents’ homes, and when the army searched, they inexplicably started fighting.
However, Edwina was not part of the Winged leadership, so she wasn’t very clear about the aftermath of this incident. She hadn’t expected... there were still so many of them. Where did these enemies suddenly come from?
The Holy Knight squatted down, lifting the hood of one of them—a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man.
She then checked each of the other gray-robed individuals, most of whom were Winged, although there were also humans or hybrids, none of them showed any obvious racial characteristics or abnormalities. It was as if they had been randomly plucked from the city.
“Strange...”
She had been very concerned about this before. The others aside, how could Winged people voluntarily join these gangs and attack their own capital?
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either.”
“Ah?”
The village girl was left baffled by the other’s casual attitude.
Edwina, who had already started to step forward, turned her head and smiled at her.
“Although I’m not sure of the specifics, Miss Violet, before she left, besides instructing me to come to your aid in case of any trouble in the city, also mentioned that if it were truly urgent, she had a way to quickly return here. So, there’s no need to worry.”
“For now, let’s focus on what we need to do.”
............................................................................
Countless silver streaks passed by her side as she felt the fluctuations of the familiar yet unfamiliar long-distance teleportation. In a certain moment, the girl stepped out of the doorway.
“Swoosh~”
This was inside the embassy of the Human United Kingdom, in a room belonging to someone named Violet.
“Phew... looks like it worked, hehe. Thankfully, I had the foresight. Before leaving, I set up an invisible spatial teleportation gate on this side of the Sky City.”
The priestess glanced around, ensuring that there was indeed no one intruding into her room, before she drew a summoning array with her hand.
“Come out, Xiao Guang.”
A familiar glow flashed, and the golden-haired dragon girl emerged from the pet space into this world.
As soon as she landed, the dragon girl frowned slightly, glancing at the pitch-black night outside the window.
“Master...”
“Yeah, it seems to be as expected. But given the current situation, our return shouldn’t be too late. Let’s go.”
Rather than leaving through the main door, after all, she wasn’t quite sure of the specific situation outside. In case she bumped into someone she knew, explaining would take too much time.
Without further ado, Violet simply pushed open the window and, without any grace, stepped onto the ledge before jumping out.
The howling night wind blew into the room through the window, with only the gradually fading and re-concealing silver door, witnessing the arrival of the two young girls.
