Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage-Chapter 287 287: Meeting Of Saints

****

The Meeting of the Saints, also known as the meeting of the Holy Priests was a meeting that was a rare event in which all Holy Priests came together at the same place.

Each of the Holy Priests had the strength to bring Empires to ruins and all of them were gathered at the same place at the moment... At least most of them.

The Meeting of Saints was being held in the City of Albatross. The City was also the place where the first ever meeting of Saints took place in the past. This was also the only City where all the Churches had branches, all except the Church of Darkness. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

The City of Albatross was the most prosperous City in the entire continent. It was also the City which played an important role in the trade between all the major Empires, all because of its strategically advantageous location.

All because of its location, many Empires tried to bring the City under their control, but none of the Empires could watch the City being taken by another. No matter who tried to take the City, all other Empires were going to resist. They couldn't let another Empire take advantage.

With that kind of stalemate, the City of Albatross managed to avoid quite a lot of conflict, maintaining their independence.

Since the City was the main trading hub of the continent, it also had the biggest market! If the City of Abbadon was the biggest marketplace of illegal items, the City of Albatross was the biggest marketplace of legal things.

No matter what a person wanted, from spells to magical potions to high grade staff, they could find anything here as long as they had enough money!

The City was just too lively. However, there was one part of the City which was completely silent. In the Central part of the City, there was a building. From the outside, the place looked like a beautiful place, but only when someone entered inside could they realize that this wasn't a palace.

On the inside, there was nothing! There were no stairs, no room, nothing! It was just a massive hall inside with a small round table at the center. It was as if someone just made the outer structure of the Palace and then forgot to make anything inside.

The roof of the Palace was made from glass, allowing light to easily pass through.

The palace was being protected by Head Priests of all the Churches who didn't allow anyone to approach this area.

Inside the palace five people were already sitting around the round table, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.

Thud~

The door was abruptly kicked open as a flaming red haired man barged inside, still having his hands in his pocket.

"Brought the little brat," he lazily stated as he walked to his seat. Even as he sat down, he didn't seem to care for anyone else as he placed his feet on the table.

Behind the Holy Priest of Flames, the Holy Priestess of Summoning also entered the hall.

This was Avilia's first time seeing the Heads of the other Churches personally. However, with the two of them, one person appeared to be missing.

"Where is the Ruler of Light?" The Holy Priest of Flames asked, instantly realizing who was missing. "Don't tell me the new Ruler of Light is also like the brat of Summoning who won't come out of his Church until I drag him out?"

Like everyone else here, he also knew that the new Church of Light wasn't fond of appearing in public. That reputation was very well known by now. Until now, he didn't care much about it. However to miss the meeting of Saints and not even put them in his eyes... The actions of the Ruler of Light really managed to irritate him.

"He won't be coming. We weren't able to get in contact with him. Apparently he isn't even Lumen City anymore," the Holy Priestess of Thunder, Thalia answered.

"That brat isn't in the city? From what I heard about him, I thought he never left his house?" The Holy Priest of Flames asked, slightly amused. He couldn't help but wonder just what could've made someone like that leave Lumen City?

"Don't tell me they're giving us excuses because of this meeting. Did you verify?" he further asked, still finding it hard to believe. "A man who never left the Church to the point that no one even knows how he looks is now out of the Lumen City right when he was to be invited for the meeting of Saints? Isn't it too convenient?"

"It would've been suspicious indeed. However, I heard about his departure before the meeting of Saints was even called," Thalia replied. She had already received this information from Elora when the two of them fought against Lambard. "According to his people, he left to explore the Abandoned City of Gods."

"To explore the Abandoned City of Gods? Isn't that the place which the last Ruler of Water also went to explore before her death? To think that another person would be courageous enough to explore that place..." The Holy Priest of Flames laughed out loud. "Not bad. I thought he was a coward, but this is not bad at all!" f𝑟e𝒆𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗oѵ𝐞𝗹.c૦𝑚

"I also wanted to explore that place. That's why I sent someone to buy the map from Lambard. Too bad I failed," he added, taking a meaningful glance at Elora who was the person that managed to buy the map in the auction instead.

"Anyway, if he's in the Abandoned City of Gods, nothing can be done about it. It's better to not wait anymore. Just start this meeting so we can leave fast. I'm starting to get hungry."

Since everyone except the Ruler of Light was already here, he could only ask for the meeting to begin. It was unusual for a meeting of Saints to not have all members, but at the moment, nothing could be done. If anything, they could just tell their decision to the Church of Light after the meeting was over.

"The Holy Priestess of Water Elora, Holy Priestess of Thunder Thalia, Holy Priest of Nature Welin and Holy Priest of Wind Yael... The four of you were responsible for calling this meeting. You can begin."

Avilia had also taken her seat and the main doors were closed.

It was something that was discovered by Elorq first, so it was her duty to explain. However, since Elora was new, Thalia took the responsibility. "Don't worry. The meeting this time was actually important. Something has changed... Something that might need us all to cooperate to solve the situation."
