Chapter 957: Chapter 598, Not Dead Yet (Additional chapter for Alliance Hierarch ‘Tracks of Angels’)_3
But it seemed that the Archbishop did not display too much of a sense of loss.
“It’s a pity about Xu Haide,” Dordy sighed softly, then said, “it seems we need to train another transmigrator to complete the plan of consolidating all transmigrators within the territory.”
Grigorya then spoke up, “Mage Li Rong is a good candidate, capable and also performed excellently in this recent external combat.”
“I’ve also heard of this Li Rong, the owner of Fairy Dream Tower, indeed capable. If trustworthy, she could be considered the planned candidate,” Dordy stated.
Often attending elite gatherings had given Li Rong some notoriety.
“Indeed, especially this time, her performance was comparable to that of city generals, she could definitely be cultivated,” Grigorya was also strongly recommending.
...
If nothing had happened to Xu Haide, she wouldn’t have mentioned Li Rong.
But now, Xu Haide had died, leaving only Li Rong from those who participated in the war, and it was good to push her own people forward.
“It could indeed be worth inspecting her, to see…” Dordy had just opened his mouth.
By his side, the Archbishop gently set down his teacup, smiling as he interrupted them, “Xu Haide is not dead yet, I think Xu Haide is still the more suitable candidate.”
Both were shocked.
The news from the front had clearly stated that Xu Haide had died.
His neck bore a huge gash, and he had been left overnight.
How could he possibly still be alive.
Seeing their confusion, Milton gently explained, “I naturally have a way to bring him back to life, it only requires a bit more time. The consolidation of the transmigrators will proceed as originally planned.”
“Oh? Really?”
But then they thought about it.
The church spending some cost to resurrect the dead was actually not unacceptable.
Milton nodded, “The circumstances of Xu Haide’s death are somewhat suspicious. With the abilities of a wandering spirit, it is impossible to kill him silently. Don’t let this news out for now, wait until Xu Haide is resurrected to see if there are any new clues.”
Both were startled again.
Milton meant that someone within the Federation had planned to use a wandering spirit for a stealthy attack to kill Xu Haide.
This was no small matter.
“Well… okay,” Dordy didn’t say much else.
Since Xu Haide was unharmed, it was best to continue as originally planned.
As for the assassination of Xu Haide.
The Hall of Justice and the Mage Association didn’t say anything.
They believed it was definitely not one of their own.
“Good, then the plan remains as is, let’s now discuss the retreat of the troops from the front!”
…
Black Horn City.
Inside a temporary bedroom in the Royal Palace.
Amanda stood in front of a tall bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror.
Mask, crown, golden armor, all transformed into a golden liquid, seeping into the space necklace on her neck.
Once completely naked, revealing skin like that of a mummified corpse.
Amanda then turned away, no longer facing the mirror.
On the side, Arlene gently clapped her hands.
The door opened and a line of funeral priests entered.
Each carrying a new mask, crown, and garments as they approached.
They began to dress the Queen.
Before long.
Dressed neatly, Amanda looked again at herself in the mirror.
A golden robe with fine purple threads embroidered with eerily noble undead patterns.
The gaunt face wore a new golden mask, its design and lines highlighting feminine beauty.
Her head adorned with a gemstone-studded golden crown, her hand clutching a scepter representing her royal status.
After gazing for a while, she turned and walked out.
“Let’s go, let’s see the old friends from the past,”
“Yes, my Queen,”
A retinue of Undead followed behind the Queen, heading in the direction of the Royal Palace.
