Chapter 73 Archbishop Maggie(1/2)
Fire Code City.
Emergency meeting room.
Bang!
Harvey, the commander-in-chief of the Knights, slammed the table angrily, causing the candlelight on the stage to tremble.
"This is what you promised me, the mage army?"
Harvey pointed at the young men present, who all looked young and had blank expressions on their faces. They probably didn't even know what he was going to do next.
Then, Harvey roared at Greco, one of the three archbishops of the Vulcan Cult, who was also sitting in the meeting hall:
"Are they all magic apprentices who are not even the first level?"
"You expect me to rely on them to rescue the crisis in Red Flame Town and fight against the evil power of the Terrorclaw Forest?"
Facing the scolding burly commander on the other side.
Bishop Greco was not moved at all, and even took a sip of the black tea on the table without hesitation.
"Lord Harvey, this is the greatest assistance our Vulcan Cult can give the Knights."
"Our other mages are all at a critical juncture in their cultivation. Even as a bishop, I am not qualified to order them to give up the opportunity to break through themselves and turn around and set off with you."
Harvey stood up immediately after Bishop Greco's calm tone.
"Let me ask you, is it more important to study your magic-breaking skills, or to protect the people under the Flame Realm? Have you all forgotten the teachings of the God of Fire!?"
"Both are equally important, Lord Harvey."
"Besides, the Vulcan Statue didn't react at all. In other words, this crisis may not be as serious as what you described, Mr. Harvey. I think you and your soldiers can handle it with the strength of you and your soldiers, and there is no need for the Vulcan Cult to take action.
.”
Seeing that Harvey wanted to continue arguing with him, Greco smiled slightly and said first:
"Lord Harvey, I think that if your best friend, Archbishop Maggie, can come out of cultivation, she will definitely make the same decision as me, right?"
When the other party moved out of Archbishop Maggie, Harvey felt as if he had been hit directly on a painful spot and was momentarily speechless.
Greco's meaning is obvious.
Even Archbishop Maggie, the highest authority of the Vulcan Cult and your former best friend, is taking the lead in practicing seclusion and has not been interested in worldly affairs for several years.
This in itself somewhat symbolizes the overall attitude of the Vulcan Cult.
Harvey sat back down in despair.
He clenched his hands into fists, but in the end he lowered his head and remained silent, unable to say anything.
but.
Just when Harvey was about to turn around and leave the meeting hall, suddenly, a powerful pressure swept across the entire hall.
"What?" Feeling this breath, Bishop Greco's expression changed instantly.
The mocking expression he originally showed towards Harvey's lonely back suddenly disappeared without a trace.
On Harvey's side, the burly commander was stunned for a moment, as if it was too unimaginable and a little unbelievable.
But then...
"Greco, go to the forbidden room and face the wall for a month." A gentle and pleasant female voice sounded in the meeting hall out of thin air.
But such a soft voice seemed to carry an undeniable majesty.
Bishop Greco, who had previously been indifferent to Harvey Feng Qingyun's Tai Chi practice, actually had no idea of refuting, and directly agreed in a cold sweat.
Only then did Harvey finally dare to identify the owner of the voice.
"Ma...Maggie!" The most powerful knight commander in Huodian City almost burst into tears at this voice.
"Harvey, come to the Vulcan Tower, I'll wait for you up there."
As the last words of the pleasant female voice ended, the strong pressure that had previously enveloped the chamber also disappeared.
"I heard that if Maggie comes out of isolation, she will make the same choice as you?"
Harvey excitedly headed to the Vulcan Tower. Before leaving, he did not forget to make a sarcastic comment to Bishop Greco, who was looking pale in his seat.
When Harvey finally left, one of the deacons standing next to Greco couldn't help but asked in fear:
"Lord...Mr. Bishop, what should we do now? How could Archbishop Maggie suddenly..."
"Humph! Why are you panicking?" Bishop Greco gradually recovered from the shock.
"What we did was not wrong. It's not like you don't know that once our mage uses too much magic power, the strange disease in the body will be unable to be suppressed and the symptoms will worsen."
"Well, don't think too much. In my opinion, even Archbishop Maggie's body may have been infected with that strange disease just like us. It may be more serious than us and the disease will occur earlier.
, Otherwise, with the Archbishop’s temperament, how could he have been in seclusion for so long?”
Greco kept tapping his fingers on the table in the council chamber.
Although he said he was relaxed, his brows were still furrowed.
Finally, Greco was about to get up and leave, but before leaving, he seemed to think of something and specifically warned:
"Let's go back. Oh, by the way, while I am in seclusion, I asked you to be responsible for recruiting strangers. Don't be left behind."
"Yes, Lord Bishop Greco."

Vulcan Tower.
top layer.
When Harvey came here again, the ancient door that had not been opened for several years and was burning with blazing flames on the top floor had already been opened for him.
When Harvey stepped in, the flame door seemed to sense something and automatically closed inwards.
"Tsk, it's really easy to be a mage. You don't even have to close the door yourself." Harvey turned around and slapped his mouth.
After Maggie finally came out of seclusion and took the initiative to see him, the commander of the Knights obviously lost his gloom, became in a particularly good mood, and had some free time to joke around.
"Long time no see, Harvey." The pleasant female voice that appeared in the meeting hall sounded again.
Following the voice, a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous robe, gentle and elegant, full of mature femininity, walked out of the inner room.
It is worth mentioning that on the shoulder of this woman, there is an equally gorgeous and beautiful fiery red bird.
On the other side, Harvey was in the main hall. When he saw the woman wearing the archbishop's robe coming out, there were a few different emotions in the depths of his eyes.

"Yes Maggie, it's been a long time since I saw you. It's been so long... I almost can't remember what you look like."
Just like many old friends who have been separated for a long time, there is always a bit of embarrassment when they meet again.
It seemed that he felt that he had gone too far before. In order to lighten the atmosphere, Harvey scratched his head and randomly found a topic.
"Why, after you have been in seclusion for so long, you still have the hobby of raising birds?"
Originally it was just an awkward conversation.
What Harvey didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, the fiery red bird standing on Maggie's shoulder immediately became angry as if he really understood.
Before Harvey could react, the little bird opened its beak slightly, and then a wave of heat rushed towards him.
When he came to his senses again, he felt a chill on the top of his head, as if something was missing.
"Xin Yan, don't make trouble."
"At Harvey's age, it's not easy to grow hair longer."
Maggie spoke softly to the red bird on her shoulder, and it was not difficult to hear the teasing meaning in it, as if she was taking revenge for Harvey's confrontation with her at the beginning.
After hearing this, the magical red bird seemed to be very reluctant, but it still spit out another burst of flames, but this time, the flames did not harm Harvey at all, but miraculously, let Harvey
Harvey's previously burned bald head actually grew black hair again and returned to its original appearance.
"This... Maggie, your little... uh, this monster is quite powerful." Harvey almost said the word "little bird" again, but for the sake of his hair, he quickly changed his words.
On the other hand, this bird monster raised its little bird head high, as if disdainful of Harvey's praise, but its spread wings still revealed its inner pride.
After this incident, the atmosphere was finally no longer awkward, and both Harvey and Maggie regained their previous feelings.
After they looked at each other and smiled, Harvey finally couldn't help his inner emotions.
"Maggie, it's great to see you again."
Unfortunately, Harvey took a step forward and wanted to hug Maggie, but Maggie took a small step back and cleverly avoided it.
"Okay, the time I have to wake up is limited, let's talk about business first."
Maggie didn't let Harvey ask what "limited time to wake up" meant, so she stretched out her hand to grab the void, and then a stone engraved with runes appeared in Maggie's hand.
"I already know about the Dreadclaw Forest."
"You did the right thing. This evil force this time is extraordinary. If it is not handled well, it may threaten the entire Huodian City. But you don't have to worry or call in the troops, because I will take action myself.
