Chapter 587: The Secret of Abelport

Adrian finally opened his eyes as the energy that he released is no longer pulsed out. He suddenly saw the crowd that gathered before him. Some left dejectedly as Adrian is no longer pulsing his energy while he noticed someone from the crowd.

"Thank you, Yewdrassil." Adrian stated as he called Anastacia over.

"It seems that you have something to say to me. Is it about Abelport?" Adrian asked as Anastacia looked serious as if she just unlocked a questline that could change the world.

"We should talk somewhere quieter as some could possibly hear what I am about to say." Anastacia stated and Adrian listened.

Adrian manipulated the space around them and even concealed their presence. The space around them will contort and squeeze in a certain interval. It is like an isolated space, but Adrian is making it happen. He learned this trick by minimizing the application of the quantum corridor.

"I can say that we will no longer be heard. The sound waves will be dispersed before it leaves this contorted space. You can say what you want to say." Adrian stated.

"I have news about Abelport from one of our guildmates that is a part of the Church of Light." Anastacia stated.

"That is good news. What did they manage to find out?" Adrian asked.

"He only found out one word and he already got branded a heretic to the church. He is basically on their hunting list. He is currently in hiding but he was afflicted by a curse by a cardinal himself which should be strange. He only found out one word when he went inside that tower." Anastacia stated.

"I see. I will make sure that his sacrifice will not be in vain. I can offer him something like a race change item when I find something like that. If he does not change then he might get hunted by the Church of Light forever." Adrian stated as he needed to compensate the player that flushed down his reputation with a major religion.

"I will tell him that, but he already changed to a dark elf when he came here to deliver the news. Apparently, some of the paladins of the Church of Light even tracked him but he lost them when I gave him a teleportation scroll." Anastacia stated.

"It seems that you were thoroughly prepared seeing that you even gave him an expensive scroll. What is the word he learned that he was branded a heretic?" Adrian asked as he is now curious.

"I do not know why but the only word that he learned is the word Asmod.. or something. He managed to hear the guards of that tower talking about a prisoner that is an Asmod. The fact that the Church of Light is scared of the world learning of a prisoner in the tower is already alarming enough." Anastacia stated but Adrian could not believe what he heard.

"Is there something wrong with the information? I want them to try again but I cannot risk the livelihood of my other guild members. Priests of the Church of Light is a great support playstyle after all as they have both heals and damage." Anastacia asked because Adrian suddenly started contemplating.

"It seems that the tower in Abelport is now the most important tower in the main world right now. I need to make sure if the prisoner is really legit. Otherwise, I would make an opponent of the Church of Light without reason." Adrian stated.

"The Church of Light is already hostile towards the demons anyway. You can just investigate clearly like you want." Anastacia stated.

"I am also the Champion of the Twin Gods which would mean that me intruding in holy territory would mean war. I could start a holy war in the middle of a greater threat looming about." Adrian stated as he remembers what the twin gods told him when it comes to the religion of other gods.

"Well, we do not want that to happen, but the Church of Light is not monitoring the tower as much. You could go in there without much problem, but you would need a disguise or teleport inside." Anastacia stated.

"I cannot teleport in because I tried when I was there once. The stone of that very tower seems to be made of something that inhibits spatial teleportation. Also, there are not even windows in that tower to even attempt a chance to teleport." Adrian stated but he already knew of his game plan.

"I do not know anything else but what is Asmod anyway? You can at least tell me that much so that my guild member did not waste his time in vain." Anastacia stated.

"It is not Asmod but Asmodian. The first beings created by the twin gods. You can call them the first creations that completed the world. If one of them is still alive then they could have a great idea about killing the dark god." Adrian stated but he did not say that he himself is part Asmodian.

"But why would the Church of Light that is the one who leads humanity not help this Asmodian. If they could ask him to kill the dark god, then the Asmodian will definitely agree." Anastacia asked.

"It would have been the case if the ones running the Church of Light does not view every other being as insects. If another race will become humanity's savior, then humanity will forget the light. They would treat the light as nothing more but the simple flickering of a star." Adrian replied

"Is that the reason why they released a statement and condemned the elves? After the tree of life and death sprouted, most of the elves have switched to the demon's side. They also labeled the Church of Death as heretic because they study magic about death." Anastacia stated.

"I know since they cannot deal with us right now. Their most likely approach would be to isolate the Church of the Twin Gods. It seems that I should pay them back for the hospitality." Adrian stated as he smiled and vanished from his position after giving Anastacia the payment for the investigation.
