The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 671

The mother and daughter were stunned and speechless when they heard this,

In their mind, they always thought of Adrian as a kind and mature man. Yet, on that very day, he had shown them his cruel side, causing the two to see him in a totally different light.

They merely stared at Adrian silently as he walked away.

That night, a huge incident happened at St. Elmer’s Church in Swallowston.

Mya personally led Wyvern Peak’s soldiers to surround the church before ordering more than a hundred men to dig three fert under the church to see if Kayn had left anything there.

It was already late at night, and nobody in Swallowston knew what was happening. Under the cover of darkness, Adrian stood outside the church with his hands behind his back, seeming extremely calm.

The soldiers quickly searched through the church. Blade walked over and said, “Sir, we’ve searched through the entire church but found nothing suspicious. Is it possible that he didn’t leave it here?”

Adrian believed that Kayn had made a copy of Hannibal’s book, but lonked like he needed to expend a little more effort to find

11.

“Heroes of Wyvern Peak is a very important book that Kayn couldn’t possibly have memorized forever. If I were him, I would make a copy of its contents and hide it somewhere.

“Keep searching. I want it found even if you have to unearth this entire church, but be careful of any traps they might’ve set.”

Blade nodded his head. “Yes, sir.”

Blade returned to the church and yelled, “There might be a switch somewhere! Keep a lookout!”

The men continued to search while Adrian stood outside, waiting patiently. After some time, a voice came from nearby, This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Sir! We’ve found something!”

Mya, Blade, and the others went toward the source of the voice, while Adrian slowly walked toward the church. There was a statue of Saint Elmer at the rear court, and someone found something weird about it-the statue was movable.

*Sir” a few men saluted.

Sir, the flour beneath the statue seems hollow. It’s possible there’s a hidden room down there,” one of them said.

The rest gathered around the statue as Adrian carefully studied it before squatting to take a look at the floor. At that moment, he seemed surprised as he looked up and said, “Someone just moved it.”

“What?!”

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and Blade said, “Are you saying someone’s down there, sir?”

“I’m not sure.”

Hearing this, Balde immediately said, “You lot, move the statue away. The rest of you, arrest anyone who comes out from down there.”

A few men went over to move the statue as soon as they received Blade’s onders. Adrian took a step back as Mya and the other soldiers surrounded the statue, ready to fare whatever might happen.

With the help of a few soldiers, the statue was moved away. Sure enough, an entrance to a hidden room was revealed-the inside of it pitch; black

“There really is a hidden room here. I link we were right to kill Charles. I’m sure he and Kayn have committed a number of heinous crimes,” Blade clapped his hands together and said when he saw the bichlen TROTIL “Sir, Mya, please wait here. I’ll take a few men with me down there,” Blade continued.
