Water and Fire Twins Magician
Chapter 47 Priest Sharp
There was still a full month before the agreed time to pick up Jacques, and returning to Marsala Town early at this time was not actually Priest Sharp's idea.
According to his original plan, he would make good use of the three months of waiting for Jacques to visit several territories in the nearby waters, accept the reception and bribes of the local lords, and enjoy himself.
But a rare accident happened in the Temple of the Goddess. Someone actually dared to go deep into the heart of the Trojan Federation - the Temple of the Goddess Helen, and successfully stole the robe left behind by the goddess!
Many experts stationed inside and outside the temple were all fooled by this thief. After everyone reacted, they immediately formed a heavy encirclement, but the guy still escaped. Seeing that the other party was about to escape from the border of the Trojan Federation by water, fortunately Poseidon happened to be in the nearby sea area and helped, otherwise the Goddess Temple would be really embarrassed this time.
However, although the thief was crushed like a fly by Poseidon, only half of the goddess's robe was recovered!
Poseidon actually failed, which made him feel ashamed and angry, and he immediately held everyone in the goddess temple responsible. He just roared twice, and the goddess temple was almost razed to the ground, and the priests there suffered heavy casualties.
The Goddess Temple must now use all its strength to find the other half of the robe. Now it is only Poseidon who is angry. If the goddess finds out and personally asks for punishment, everyone will be killed. So the high-level priests and the sanctuary guards put pressure on their subordinates, and the responsibility of finding the robe was pushed down layer by layer.
Because the lost artifact was a peerless artifact, they could not search for it in a high-profile manner, otherwise it would cause the major mercenary groups on the Love Continent to get involved, which would only make things more difficult. Therefore, before the matter was leaked, the Goddess Temple quietly instructed the priests on the front line to immediately start the investigation on the spot and report any trouble immediately.
The reason why Priest Sharp was full of complaints was that he thought the matter had nothing to do with him and that the robes could not possibly have ended up in the territories he was in charge of.
Due to constant pressure from his superiors, Sharp had searched several territories under his charge in the past few days, but as he expected, he found nothing. The last stop of the search was Marsala.
The islands he was in charge of were all remote, completely opposite to the route the thief took that day. The only place bordering another country, Masala Ridge, had an absolute barrier set up by the gods of the two countries. Masala was like a pocket with no exits. With the thief's ability, it was impossible for him not to know this. Therefore, if the thief wanted to escape, he would never choose this place.
Of course, considering Sharp's level in the Goddess Temple, it was impossible for him to know that there would be a weakness in this so-called absolute barrier.
Sharp cursed inwardly, he really didn't want to go. Because there was no way he could catch anyone, no way he could make any contribution, it was just a waste of time, but he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be anxious and desperate to search, so as not to be caught. After all, the chief priest was a lucrative position, and there were many people waiting to replace him after he made a mistake. Therefore, he was in a very bad mood.
He thought of the boy named Jacques from Marsala, a genius with amazing potential. Although he had no chance of getting the credit for retrieving the robe, bringing back a genius to the temple in advance was still a contribution.
The boat slowly approached the shore and Sharp slowly got off the boat.
But just as his feet stepped onto the dock of Marsala Ridge, something he absolutely could not have expected happened.
The priests all carried a sensor bead, which was a treasure blessed by Poseidon himself for this operation. If the goddess' robe was nearby, the sensor bead would vibrate.
And now, the sensor beads on their bodies began to vibrate in their pockets at the same time like the beating of their hearts.
Of course, generally speaking, the trace of the artifact cannot be "detected" so easily. This is entirely because the other half of the robe is in Poseidon's hands, and this sensing bead will only respond to the robe.
This was totally unexpected for Sharp. For a moment, he even suspected that Poseidon's magic had failed, and he couldn't believe that the robe was right there under his feet.
"Am I going to get lucky?"
