"…a light came out of nowhere and swallowed almost all the healers that Synetia hired from us. They are missing for a week."
Two sentences kept ringing a bell in Veronica's ears. She did her best to understand what the Head Priest told her but she couldn't figure out the logic behind his words.
In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and asked him, "How can a strange light make people disappear?"
The Head Priest shook his head, feeling helpless. "We don't know. This matter is being investigated by the investigators of Synetia. In the midst of the war, losing healers means defeat. No matter how strong an army is, it cannot withstand without the help of the healers. Moreover, the casualties will increase. So many people will lose their lives."
He added, "If it was the worse part, people would sigh in relief. But Synetia sent another envoy with a huge sum of gold coins. They want more healers. I'm not ready to lose another soul."
