Chapter 129 Attack
As soon as Savrina walked out of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters, she felt a fluctuation of divine power.
Then, a dazzling ray of sunlight appeared, and the location was the foreign affairs building not far away, where the Minister of Foreign Affairs was negotiating with Lania.
Now, a large part of the building is missing, and the light there is distorted by the heat wave, making it difficult to see what is happening inside.
The guards of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce quickly gathered downstairs of the building, but the high temperature forced them back.
"water?"
Several mages reacted and sent streams of water towards the damaged part of the building. However, before the water streams touched the building, they were evaporated by the heat and turned into high-temperature steam. Apart from blocking the view and scalding several low-level guards who had gathered around, they had no effect at all.
"Get out of the way."
Savrina's voice came from the sky. Then, the breath fell on the damaged part of the building. The high temperature had no follow-up power to support it. After a little resistance, the temperature began to drop.
After ice crystals began to appear on the outer edge of the building, Safrina stopped breathing.
"Go in and see if there are any alive."
The guards were divided into two groups, one group rushed into the building, and the other group blocked all the entrances and exits of the building. Two priests of the Church of Life wanted to follow in, but were stopped by the guards who blocked the entrances and exits.
These priests were invited guests, and it was not in accordance with general rules to allow guests to participate in these matters.
"Let them in."
But the words of the "master's messenger" of Safrina were more effective than all the rules in the city-state, and the guards made way without hesitation. Under the lingering water vapor, it was difficult for Safrina to see what was going on inside even from the outside.
She could only transform into human form and walk in with the priests of the Church of Life.
The building was full of corpses, almost all of them in a state of mummification, with the moisture in them evaporated in an instant by the high temperature.
Savrina sensed the residual fluctuations of divine power. He walked over and found two mummies. They were wearing the uniforms of Lannia's guards. The epaulettes and uniforms had been burned, but judging from the position they were standing, they should be the lowest-ranking guards in the team.
Savrina frowned and turned the bodies over. Obviously, these people would not carry any items related to their true identities.
"Come and help, there are still some alive here."
The voice of the priest of the Cult of Life came from behind. Savrina turned around and saw two priests casting spells on two "corpses" stuck together, and several goblins were trying to separate the two "corpses".
There was still a hint of magical light flashing on the corpses. It must be that some items with defensive spells were effective, offsetting a lot of the incoming heat, so they were not evaporated immediately.
But this is not necessarily a good thing. The armor of the "corpse" above has melted into his skin.
"Don't worry too much about the one above, he's beyond help."
As the priests of the Church of Life spoke, none of their magic spells landed on the "corpse" above.
"But he's still breathing..."
A human guard was carefully peeling off the armor that had melted into his flesh. It was not easy because the flesh and armor were stuck together. With a little force, the pieces of flesh and armor were peeled off together with the armor.
"Smell it, he's almost half cooked. Only a quasi-legend who specializes in healing can save him."
The human guard paused. The corpse exuded a scent of protein and fat. He finally gave up. "Move him down. The one below may still be saved. Be gentle. Some of their flesh and blood have already stuck together."
The goblin who was obviously the leader of these guards noticed the words of the Priest of Life.
"Flala, Filin, Kukuen, come here."
He selected three of his men, who were more flexible and could better separate the two bodies that were already stuck together.
Savrina also came over. She stood in a position that would not affect the priests of the Church of Life and the guards. She saw the "corpse" below.
Although the "corpse" had been severely burned and looked very different from its original appearance, Savrina still recognized her. She was Lanya.
The loyal guards blocked a wave of explosions and heat waves for her, giving her time to activate the magic items on her body, which allowed her to barely stay alive.
"Is there any help?"
Safrina walked to a little distance behind the priest and asked.
If Lannia died here, it would become a big problem, especially with the current state of the Sun God Cult. They might even put the blame on the goblins and start a war against them.
"It's still possible to save him, but it will take time. With injuries of this severity, it will take at least two weeks to stabilize his vital signs."
Two weeks can only stabilize vital signs. It will take more time to restore the ability to move.
"Send someone to notify the delegation and have them check the delegation list to see if there are any followers of the Sun God Cult."
Judging from the residual divine power fluctuations at the scene, this attack was undoubtedly related to the Sun God Cult. But as far as Safrina knew, Lania would not be so stupid as to not realize that the Sun God Cult was in a bad state.
She probably wouldn't bring followers of the Sun God Cult into her team.
The commander quickly picked out a goblin guard, but he did not immediately run to the mansion where the delegation lived, but ran to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters first. Soon, a whole team of 100 people surrounded the mansion, and then the deputy minister of the foreign affairs department walked into the mansion accompanied by several guards.
Soon, this deputy minister will become the new minister. Safrina had already seen the former foreign affairs minister across the negotiation table. The magic item on his body took effect, but it took effect a little too late, and only allowed his body to retain more water than others.
The priests of the Life Cult were still trying to stabilize Lania's vital signs. She was only a hair's breadth away from death. If she was touched even slightly, pieces of flesh and blood would fall out of her body. For the time being, she could only be treated on the spot.
"Sir, this is the list of the delegation."
A goblin officer brought the list of the delegation to Savrina. It took a while for the Chamber of Commerce to copy a list and take it away.
The list contained all the information of the group members, and just as Savrina thought, no one on the list was a follower of the Sun God Cult.
The clerk of the Chamber of Commerce has circled out the people who participated in the negotiation for Savrina. Among these people, Savrina recognized the two servants who still had the aura of divine magic. They were two servants of the lowest level. At least on the surface, these two people had nothing to do with the Sun God Cult.
But this is only on the surface.
"Ask the two people in the delegation about their origins and find out everything about them from birth to the present."
