When Hilia returned to Dawn City, she received news from the bishop that the castle warehouse had been set on fire.
She was stunned.
"What's going on? Weren't they supposed to target me? Why did they turn around and burn the City Lord's castle warehouse?"
Hilia could no longer make sense of the Dusk Sect's actions.
All she could say was... aren't they typical heretics?
Just different from everyone else.
The bishop appeared directly to relay the news to Hilia. After informing her, he sternly said, "I suspect this is an overt plot by the Dusk Sect, creating trouble for us to force us to abandon protecting you."
Hilia thought for a moment and found the bishop's words made some sense.
If that Shadow Mage had discovered the bishop and others' whereabouts and decided to temporarily withdraw, then their sudden appearance in the city to cause trouble for Dawn City would be understandable.
