Chapter 881: Chapter 729: Special Elf Bloodline_3

Xu Shuo nodded with satisfaction, said nothing more, and turned around to walk away from the palace.

Standing beside him and fidgeting, Catalina suddenly reacted, her face changing in an instant as she irritably glared at the two mixed-blood elves and quickly caught up with the young man.

Lady Hexi watched their retreating figures with astonishment, her tension finally releasing as they disappeared from view, causing her to collapse to the ground, fearfully clutching onto Jelante.

Jelante embraced her back without a word.

The boy stared straight towards the direction outside the palace, his lake-blue eyes revealing an indiscernible expression.

…

After leaving the palace.

Catalina curiously asked, “Aren’t you going to kill those two? What if they spill secrets?”

Xu Shuo just smiled and said, “I am a man of principles.”

Catalina looked puzzled.

Obviously, she didn’t know where those principles lay.

She then saw the young man not leaving Constantinople, but instead turning towards other parts of the Traveling Palace. Suddenly, a golden light erupted from a castle ahead, reaching even into the high sky—

It was an intense Aura of Light.

Although she didn’t know what was happening on that side, it definitely had something to do with the Holy See of Light, so Catalina’s initially instinctive vigilance relaxed.

She was just about to inquire.

But then the ground slightly trembled, and soon after, multiple warhorses and hundreds, even thousands of knights in white-gold armor charged out from the castle.

Catalina was dumbfounded.

Xu Shuo didn’t block the Holy See’s army’s path but stepped aside and even displayed some Aura of Light on himself.

Seeing he was one of their own, the charging army didn’t pause, and directly passed through the main avenue of the Traveling Palace and rushed out of Constantinople.

However, as the Holy See’s army passed by.

A commander stopped.

“What’s the situation outside?”

“The primary battlefield is around the Gate of Palas; the entire Royal Capital has plunged into chaos. The situation is complex, and I don’t fully understand it. I am here under the Pontiff’s command to search for Wald XVIII,” Xu Shuo said seriously and even flashed the badge of the Order of the Sun Knights.

Once the commander understood the situation, he nodded, gave Catalina a quick glance, and then spurred his horse to follow the troops.

Catalina continued to wear a shocked expression.

After the sudden appearance of Holy See’s army left, she slowly recovered, blinking as she asked, “Since when did you guys set up such a large teleportation Magic Array here in Constantinople?”

Xu Shuo calmly responded, “Decades ago.”

Catalina: “…”

Because that castle was precisely where Princess Teresa of the nineteenth resided.

To maintain the operation of that large Magic Array, the amount of money the Pope of Light spent on Teresa annually could be said to be in the tens of thousands.

As for this Magic Array.

It was left here by the Chief Knight Commander of the Order of the Sun Knights who secretly transported it.

He’s not a halfway chief like Zuo Fang; he was someone who sat in the chief’s seat at a young age based on his own strength.

Xu Shuo arrived in front of Teresa’s castle.

As a strategic point for the Holy See to break through internally from the Royal Capital, it was naturally also garrisoned by the Holy See’s army.

He displayed his Sun Crown mark and the badge of the Order of the Sun Knights, while Catalina’s identity was entered as that of a Church Acolyte.

Xu Shuo first carefully inspected the castle.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities or abnormal people, he walked straight to the castle’s Underground Temple.

Catalina followed behind, curiously surveying her surroundings.

“Don’t the people from your church recognize you?” she casually asked.

Xu Shuo responded casually.

“What if someone pretends to be you and commands your Holy See’s army?” Catalina suddenly said.

“Check the Sun Mark.” Xu Shuo casually said.

“What if there’s a traitor with a Sun Mark?” Catalina seemed to be challenging.

Xu Shuo turned his head to look at her.

Catalina stubbornly pouted, “What, we Executors of Dawn considered mingling with humans, so isn’t it possible for followers of the Church of Light to betray as well?”

Xu Shuo chuckled, “You’re right.”

He didn’t explain further.

…

The Underground Temple was full of the familiar Aura of Light.

Upon arriving, Xu Shuo’s demeanor somewhat relaxed, and he walked directly to the Underground Temple’s Magic Sigils for communication.

Catalina didn’t know what he was planning.

She just found some steps to slump on and watch.

Xu Shuo concentrated on drawing Magic Sigils, gathering a Magic Jade and sending it over.

He was sending a message to the Silver Shield Legion.

The last contact with the Silver Shield Legion was last night; the Duke of Silver reported they had left the Andas Mountains and could take advantage of the darkness to enter the Rheine City-State of the Eastern Continent for regrouping before dawn.

But they couldn’t continue the hurried journey to the Royal Capital.

After all, the greatest taboo for an army is to besiege a city with a weary force after a long march.

The Silver Shield Legion was already utterly exhausted from traveling thousands of miles, and facing the well-rested Imperial Army in such a state, even the brave and skilled Silver Shield Legion might suffer extreme casualties.

Therefore, resting was necessary.

Moreover, with the whereabouts of Wald XVIII still unknown and the Imperial Army not fully engaging in battle, the entire Royal Capital seemed like an empty shell.

Thus, it was not necessary for the Silver Shield Legion to appear at this time.

Thus, after informing of the situation here,

Xu Shuo thought briefly,

then planned to direct the Duke of Silver to conceal their tracks and first probe the Fahl City-State and the details of the Russo Family.

If they could ascertain the whereabouts of Wald XVIII,

that would be even better.
