Dawn had just broken when a fast horse charged into New Ross City from the north, galloping straight for the Church of the Three Goddesses without stopping.
A few minutes later, Bishop Fowler, deep in sleep, was awakened by the knocking on his door.
He donned his sacred robe, opened the door, and before he could ask what had happened, Divine Servant Ernest spat a mouthful of saliva onto his face, "Bishop! It's terrible, a disaster has occurred! The 300 knights we sent to surveil Kennedy Manor have been wiped out!!!"
"..."
Perhaps it was because he had just gotten out of bed, or perhaps it was the shock from being spattered with saliva, but Bishop Fowler stood there stunned for a while before asking, "What did you say?"
"Kilian! Kilian Kennedy is a Transcendent!!!"
Bishop Fowler's face went pale in an instant, and not bothering to dress properly, he hastily walked out of his room and arrived at the church, only to find that Father Satuk and others were already present.
