The two men stepped forward and presented all the documents needed to pass this checkpoint.

After noticing the identities of the two men, the high priest's expression calmed down a lot, but he still did not let his guard down. While looking through the documents and materials, he raised his eyes and observed the two men.

"It turns out she is the daughter of the Earl of Milford."

The two eldest ladies of Milford County are not ordinary residents of the empire, which is enough to influence the Earl of Milford's bishop's vote in late April. There is no need to make things difficult for them.

It was not until the high priest saw Hyperion's admission letter to the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic that he finally frowned.

Then he decisively handed Michela's ID back to her and turned to look at Hyperion.

"Miss Michella can go, Miss Miriam Milford, you need to accept our investigation."

The words of the Archbishop were like the wind on a winter night, sharp and powerful.

At the same time, all the elite priests behind him entered a state of combat readiness.

The air in front of the checkpoint froze in an instant, changing from a calm chatty atmosphere to a tense one.

Hyperion's gentle face also tensed at this moment, and a hint of surprise and deep confusion flashed in her eyes.

Although she was acting as usual and had the most normal reaction, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

The high priest's gaze shot at her like a sharp arrow, fierce and unquestionable, not caring at all about her expression or whether she was innocent.

Behind him, rows of heavily armored Knights of Destruction gripped their weapons tightly, and dull sounds came from between the plate armors. Every movement seemed extremely cautious, as if they had touched the most sensitive nerves, waiting to unleash astonishing power at the command.

The passengers waiting at the back of the queue also felt the tense atmosphere, and many of them subconsciously stepped back, not daring to make a sound.

During the brief silence, there was an indescribable electric current in the air, and even the slightest sound could become a spark that ignited the whole place.

"Can I ask why?"

Hyperion asked, confused and worried.

She couldn't understand it for a moment.

I haven't done anything suspicious, so there shouldn't be any omissions in the admission letter.

Being stopped for no apparent reason, this mysterious feeling of the unknown made her feel extremely dangerous.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I hope you can come with us on your own and don't let us do anything."

The high priest responded politely, but his expression was unusually cold.

In the past, their job in the Northwestern Province was to search for the remnants of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

But now they have a more important mission.

Compared with the current mission, the previous searches were just small fry.

Their biggest duty in this city-state is to intercept and capture two enemies. According to the information released by the Son of Nirvana, one of them must be a female and the other's identity is unknown. Any target whose identity is female is particularly suspicious.

The danger level of this mission is so high that they would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go. If there is any negligence, the fate of any person involved will be unimaginable.

The admission materials of the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic show that Miss Miriam Milford is at the fifth level.

Female, tall, the highest strength she can currently exert is around level five.

Everything fits the characteristics of the woman that the Son of Extinction is tracking down.

Although the Empire did not detect any disguise magic on her, her thief and artist functions still allowed her to disguise herself to a certain extent, which was undetectable by magic detection.

The only difference is that there is no obvious sealing magic power on this woman.

Is she the person the bishop is looking for?

I'm afraid only the Son of Nirvana can tell.

But the high priest turned and looked at the clock in the checkpoint hall.

Judging from the time, Agnello should be back soon.

This week, the average daily update is over 6,000! I am so tired! Please, dads, please give me the monthly pass at the beginning of the month! Please, dads!

I won't do unpredictable things like rewards, and I don't want you to spend money. I won't add more chapters even if you reach the Gold Alliance.

It's impossible for them to give me thousands of monthly tickets all at once and send me to the ICU, right?

Unlimited reward, really unlimited.

If you can break this for me, I can only say that you love it more than Lanqi.

Chapter 361 Lanqi wonders why there is a lady who needs help here

The concourse level checkpoint at Rock Junction Station should have been in good order, but now it has fallen into slight chaos for unknown reasons.

The Silent Priest's combat readiness actions were decisive and swift, and the alertness that flashed in his eyes revealed the importance of the mission at hand. Under the light, the cast iron and glass structure appeared particularly cold and hard in this sudden situation, reflecting the nervous faces of the passengers.

All eyes were focused on the two noble girls who were surrounded in front of the checkpoint.

"If you are not a suspect, Miss Miriam Milford, we promise not to harm you in the slightest, and we will release you as soon as possible after your innocence is proven."

The high priest who ordered them to stop bowed and said in a very polite manner.

"..."

The line of passengers at the rear stretched out in a winding path along the corridor, everyone was waiting, as if some kind of event was about to break out suddenly, and the mood of ordinary Imperial passengers, like the temperature in the station hall, was gradually dropping towards freezing point.

Not only Hyperion and Michela, but everyone in the distance knew that the promises made by the priests of the Silence branch were not credible at all.

In this silence, the air was broken by the sudden sound of fine wind, which was unusually clear.

The high priest did not raise his head, waiting for the two noble ladies in front of him to express their opinions.

"I will miss the opening hours of the Protoss Royal School of Magic, and you cannot arrest imperial nobles at will without evidence and an arrest warrant."

Even though Hyperion seemed to have no temper before, at this moment, the corners of her eyes tightened slightly, with a hint of resentment, and she could not accept the arrogance and unreasonableness of the Nirvana Branch.

"If we really have a problem, you can just bring legal documents from the Metropolitan Police Department and come to Helrom's school to arrest us. Regardless of whether we agree or not, the school will cooperate with you immediately."

Michela also took a half step forward, her voice even more forceful.

The two of them were scheduled to depart for the Imperial Capital Helrom at 11:00 noon. There was a gap of more than three hours between the two buses from Milford to Box Mountain Province and from Box Mountain to the Imperial Capital Helrom. Taking into account the time that might be spent on the transfer, Earl Milford left them enough time to rest and prepare.

However, if he was intercepted on a trip to the Knights of Annihilation, no matter what the result of the investigation was, he would definitely miss the originally booked train. In case he was detained for another day or two, and had to buy a ticket on the spur of the moment when he was released, he would most likely not be able to enter the Protoss Royal School of Magic for a week.

The school was a semi-closed school with strict rules. Students were not allowed to go out on weekdays. As a punishment and to maintain the credit assessment rules, students who did not return on time were not allowed to enter during the course.

"I'm sorry, we have priority in enforcing confidential matters related to the Northern War. If you need to sue us, please contact Earl Milford."

The high priest stared at Michela, his words still sounded polite, but his eyes had begun to suppress the coldness.

It was as if he was telling her that if she continued to make trouble, no matter if she was a countess or not, he would teach her a lesson she would never forget.

Hyperion immediately grabbed Michella's hand, tightened it a little, and pulled her behind her.

"Our Milford family has never offended your branch of Nirvana. Earl Milford will go to the imperial capital to participate in the election next week. Are you trying to drag Bishop Nirvana into the water by doing this?"

She no longer allowed Michela to respond to the high priest and questioned him personally.

"..."

There was a hint of hesitation in the high priest's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and became resolute.

"Even if Lord Milford will be disappointed in our Silent Branch because of this, I must keep her. It is my duty. Please forgive me."

He didn't give in at all.

If he had originally intended to take the power of the Earl of Milford's family into consideration, he was now ready to fall out with them.

"..."

Seeing the attitude of the Archbishop of the Nirvana Branch, Hyperion tensed up and grabbed Michela's hand.

If she wanted to run away now, it would probably be no problem for her to escape from Box Mountain Province by force, but this would definitely harm the Milford family who helped her forge her identity.

But if she followed their wishes and followed them into the temple of the Knights of Annihilation, if anything unexpected happened, she might not be able to escape. The more she was investigated, the more likely it was that something would be overlooked.

No matter what, it's a dead end.

"I'll go with you."

With her emotions extremely complicated, Hyperion finally sighed helplessly.

No matter what, no matter how important the mission she was tasked with, she could not abandon the Milford family for her own safety.

"I want to be with my sister."

Michela pursed her lips tightly, expressionless, and held Hyperion's arm, meaning she would never let go.

The high priest sneered. These two arrogant noble ladies had wasted so much of his time and energy. Now, even if Michela wanted to leave, there was no way he would let her go.

If these two people continue to maintain this attitude, then they must be properly tamed in the temple of the Knights of Annihilation. Even as hostages, Earl Milford can be made to vote for Bishop Annihilation without any mistakes.
