In the spring of the 21st year of the Holy Calendar, because of the step-by-step pressing and arrest of the Church of Light and the Cretan royal family, the Dark Council hiding behind the scenes finally revealed its flaws little by little. Under the pressure of the Church of Light, Earl Everns, the leader of the Dark Council and the prime minister of the Cretan Empire, was finally exposed to the Church of Light.

The Prime Minister Evans, facing a desperate situation, launched a coup, and launched a guard army that had been trapped in his control. He bloodied the palace and killed two sons and a daughter of Iliad VIII. Under the escort of more than a dozen royal guards, Iliad VIII was still shot by arrows and was seriously injured and died.

In the crisis, Iliad VIII's younger brother Duke Vodigan led his personal guards to rush into the palace, enter the palace to serve the king, defeated the rebels, and killed Evans in the hall. Before his death, Prime Minister Evans shouted that he died under the sword of Duke Vodigan for His Majesty Iliad VII.

The Imperial City of Nia in the Cretan Empire was in extreme chaos, with a large number of troops mobilized, and the city was full of soldiers wearing armor, the gates were closed, and in the middle of the night, there were torches passing through the streets everywhere.

Sean, the director of the Judgment Department, broke into the palace with Duke Vodigan, and rescued Iliad VIII. He immediately treated Iliad VIII's injuries with the priest beside him. Although his injuries were healed, Iliad VIII still fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and his already poor physique.

Duke Vodigan was waiting beside Iliad VIII, feeling heartbroken, and expressed his anger at the actions of the Dark Council and Evans, saying: "I didn't expect that Evans was the leader of the Dark Council, all of these damn Dark Council and wizards. We must not let them go. We must send all these guys to the gallows."

Sean stood behind Vodigan, looking at the pale and dying Iliad VIII, with a look of pale face, looked dying, and looked less calm. He was very proficient in intelligence investigation and search, and was also responsible for supervising internal information from various countries, but he had no experience in governing and participating in the struggle. This time he came here to investigate the theft of the Dark Council and the Sword of the King. Unexpectedly, this change would occur. This was not expected by Sean and nor was it within his scope of responsibility.

All the descendants of Iliad VIII have died, and only Iliad VIII and Duke Vodigan are left. Once Iliad Vodigan appears, only Duke Vodigan has the right to inherit the throne.

However, the church is not ready for the alternation of the Cretan throne at present, and Duke Vodigan is not on the pre-selected list of the Cretan throne chosen by the church. Therefore, at this time, Sean cannot let Iliad VIII die, at least not so soon.

Moreover, Sean always felt that all this happened too coincidental. Perhaps it was too normal, but it made him feel uncomfortable, as if everything was arranged. As soon as he found out that Evans had a problem, Evans launched a coup and killed all the descendants of Iliad VII. It seemed that Evans's last madness was revenge on His Majesty Iliad VII, whom he was loyal to, but everything always felt full of incongruity.

When Che Vodigan killed Evans just now, he seemed too deliberate and too quick. This large number of coincidences made Sean, who had a keen sense of smell, smell a conspiracy.

At this time, the people from the outside Judgment Department came in and said something in Sean's ear. Sean's face immediately changed: "What, there is no one?"

When he came, when Evans' coup failed, Sean immediately asked someone to take people to surround Evans's mansion to investigate the whereabouts of the Sword of Kings. Since Evans is the leader of the Dark Council, he will definitely be able to find out the whereabouts of the Sword of Kings from him, and even the Sword of Kings is probably in his hands.

But what Sean didn't expect was that in Evans's mansion, except for a few servants, all his family and children escaped. The entire mansion was empty and even a large number of relevant documents were destroyed. Several servants were puzzled and said that they had been given a day off by their master in the morning and had no idea what had happened.

Now Sean could not sit still, and immediately said goodbye to Duke Vodigan, asking Duke Vodigan to manage everything in the palace, leaving two priests to take care of Iliad VIII, and immediately rushed towards Earl Evans's mansion. Looking at Sean's hurriedly leaving, lying in front of the window of Iliad VIII, Duke Vodigan, who was crying bitterly, suddenly showed a strange smile at the corner of his eyes.

"It's here, they should be the city of Nya that left here."

This is not the Evans family's mansion, but an old water tower far away from the Evans family. The trial priests of the Judgment Department rely on their strong tracking ability to investigate that Evans' family was in the city of Nya where they escaped from here. Sean took a torch and looked down at the tunnel: "Have you gone down?"

The judge priest beside him immediately said, "I have sent someone to investigate. The one leading down there is actually a conference hall, and there are several other passages, including those leading into the city and those leading outside the city."

Sean walked into the passage with several judges and priests, and finally arrived at the dark hall underground, full of dark and strange smell. Sean slapped on the table: "Evans is indeed the leader of the Dark Council. We finally caught him this time. Unfortunately, he died too quickly and there are too many questions that have not been asked yet. Check out where these passages lead to the city, where the city leads to, and who are sitting in every seat here, we must investigate them clearly."

At this time, a few people behind him pressed a middle-aged man dressed in a burlap shirt to Shawn: "Chief, we have a new discovery."

Sean glanced at the man: "Who is this?"

"He said that he often saw Evans riding in a special carriage, and he didn't know where to go. Moreover, when he came back from Evans some time ago, he found that Evans brought back a very strange package."

Sean looked at the coachman: "What package, tell me carefully."

The coachman looked extremely scared and shivered all over. Hearing Sean's question, he didn't dare to raise his head, and said while shaking: "It was like this about ten days ago. It was very late that day and it was still raining. The Count asked me to wait for him at the second alley on Lille Street. When he went there, he was empty-handed, but when he came back, he carried a strange package."

“What package?”

"It seems like a sword, no no, no, definitely a sword, because I vaguely saw the hilt of the sword, very beautiful and snow-white, with strange symbols on it."

Sean and everyone present suddenly stood up and stared at the coachman tightly. Sean immediately drew a few symbols on the ground: "Is this?"

"Yes, I have an impression that it's this, absolutely right." The coachman pointed tremblingly.

"The Sword of King's Power!"

Sean waved his hand and immediately saw a white light flashing, tearing all the tables and chairs in the chamber. Sean punched the wall and said angrily: "It's him, Evans, this old guy has been showing his loyalty to our Church of Light, but he turned out to be a complete despise."

"How long has Evans' family left?"

The trial priest had already investigated this issue and was waiting for Sean's question: "It's been more than half a day, and they probably have run far away."
