Inventor of another world, the little female ghost wants to kidnap me

Chapter 162: The Baron's Bet with the Church

Not long after Vita City was sealed off, a pale golden barrier enveloped the entire city.

Miss looked at the extremely chaotic magic power in his hand and understood the function of this barrier.

This is a barrier created by the magic props of faith that the [Judge] team brought from the cathedral. It is an alternative magic-forbidden barrier.

The quality of this barrier cannot seal the magic power of everyone, but it can interrupt the flow of magic power in the space.

Once the flow of magic power becomes disrupted, it becomes difficult to draw a magic circle.

In the enchantment, you can have magic power, but you cannot use magic.

The [Judge] team set up this barrier, firstly to protect the kidnapped saint, and secondly for their own convenience.

Nora can cast pure magic attacks directly through the magic eye without drawing a magic circle.

The members of the [Judge] team can certainly do it as well.

In addition, Miss discovered that this barrier could only limit normal magic power, and both himself and Hestis's faith-based magic power could be used normally.

Pure swordsmen like Licia and Cassius were not affected. Sylvia herself did not like to use magic, so she was not affected much either.

In this way, this barrier is useless to the members of [Higanbana].

In addition, this special barrier has a magical function.

That is to display in real time the number of long-eared elves within the range of the barrier.

Reginald explained that they were heading to the Borderlands of Orolos next.

The city where the World Tree grows, Rezevit, has such a barrier.

The purpose of the barrier is to protect the local elves.

Before the [Judge] team left the Lord's Mansion, they deliberately showed everyone present the number of long-eared elves within the range of the barrier.

A light golden “two” on the scroll was jumping slightly.

This means that there are two long-eared elves in the city of Vita now.

Baron Mista was very confused. He said there was only one saint in the city, so why did the scroll show "two"?

Fox, the leader of the [Judge] team, had an angry look on his face, and his tone was full of complaints about Baron Mista.

"Baron, didn't you know that? I just received intelligence that this morning, on the mountain road near Vita City, the saint who was about to be secretly sent to Kukrim City was also kidnapped by heretics."

Mista was shocked after hearing this, "You mean to say that the saint who was kidnapped on the official road is also in my Vita City?"

Fox snorted coldly, "Otherwise, could it be that there are other long-eared tribes in Vita City?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Mis.

Retracting his gaze, Fox's face was gloomy. "Baron, two saints disappeared in your territory within one day. Don't you have anything else to say?"

Baron Mista nodded sadly, "I was lax and neglected the security of the territory. I am willing to accept the punishment from the church."

Fox seemed to be waiting for Mista to say this, and immediately responded: "Since the Baron has said so, then things will be easy.

Before the Mountain God Festival ended, my scroll still showed that there were two long-eared elves in Vita City, and they were not found and rescued by us.

It is possible that the Baron is deliberately sheltering heretics and challenging the authority of the church.

We will trouble the Baron to go back with us and personally apologize to the Archbishop."

Upon hearing the black-clothed youth's request, Baron Mista's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Are you suspecting that I am a heretic?"

Fox's mouth curled up slightly, "Why, Lord Baron, are you a heretic?"

Baron Mista shook his head, "Of course not."

"Since the Baron is not a heretic, then this small Vita City has its exits blocked and magic cannot be used. The heretics will have no way to escape. I believe we will be able to find the Saint soon, right?"

"The Judge team has been dispatched. We will definitely find it. I will do my best to help you during this period."

Fox insisted, "That would be the best. Then, Lord Baron, as I said just now, before the Mountain God Festival is over..."

Baron Mista's expression returned to a kind one and he nodded, "Don't worry, if the Saint is still not found by the end of the Mountain God Festival, I will go back to the Cathedral with you to be punished."

After getting the answer he wanted, Fox finally agreed to take his people away.

After watching the Judge team and the priest leave, Baron Mista maintained a gentle expression and tried to comfort the onlookers.

Miss, who watched the whole thing, thought of something.

This [Judge] team came with great force and their target was clear, Baron Mista.

Miss deduced that the ones who suspected Baron Mista were not the members of this team, but the archbishop behind the scenes who should be the one who really suspected the baron.

The agreement proposed by the young man in black must have been a trick of the archbishop.

Based on the content of the agreement, Miss realized that the [Judge] team's trip was not to test whether Baron Mista was a heretic, but to obtain evidence.

Direct evidence that Baron Mista is a heretic.

The Archbishop has determined that Baron Mista is a member of the heretical "Tree" organization.

Otherwise, the previous agreement would not have had such requirements. They should have required that Baron Mista take the initiative to rescue the two saints before the end of the mountain god festival.

If Mista hands over the saint, he can temporarily get rid of suspicion. If he fails to hand her over, he will go to the cathedral to be punished.

But now the requirement of this agreement is to decide whether Baron Mista needs to be punished based on the number in the black-clothed boy's scroll.

If Baron Mista wants to reset the number on the scroll to zero and save himself, he has three choices.

First, hand over the saint and get rid of suspicion.

Second, kill the saint and never admit it.

Third, sending the saint out of the city not only protected her safety, but also got rid of suspicion.

The archbishop was certain that Baron Mista would choose the third option, so he made such a strange bet.

Once Baron Mista sends people to escort the saint out of the city and they are caught by the Judge team, they will be caught red-handed.

No matter who escorts the saint out of the city, even if he is a true heretic, this responsibility must be borne by Mista.

After all, this is his territory. If the heretics escape under his nose, he, as the lord, cannot escape blame.

Thinking of this, Miss couldn't help but sigh that the Archbishop's move was indeed quite clever.

But if Miss's guesses are all true, then it proves one thing from the side.

The [Tree] organization, this so-called heretic, will not harm the long-eared elves.

They tried their best to kidnap the saint from the temple, but in fact they did it to protect her.

The one who could actually hurt the Saint is the Church of the Goddess of Life.

Miss thought that there must be many secrets that he didn't know about.
