Herodotus was a little surprised when he heard this, "The disciples did not participate in the final vote that day, they just followed the orders of the church."
"I know, I know... the punishments are only for the people below to see. How diligent you have been over the years, I and several other high priests have seen it, but now the church is in trouble, and someone must
Make some sacrifices.”
"Do you want me to take care of this matter?"
"Not just me, several other priests also have the same view. Of course, this is not your fault. We all know this, but the current situation can only be aggrieved to you first. We will take the position of high priest for you.
Keep it and you can come back when the limelight passes."
High Priest Reeves tried his best to keep his tone gentle and his expression very sincere, but then he saw his disciple burst into laughter.
This was undoubtedly very rude, and a look of displeasure appeared on the old priest's face.
"What's so funny about this?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the priestess named Adele. You also told her that at that time. So, have you helped her restore her reputation now?"
Upon hearing this, High Priest Reeves' expression gradually darkened, "You still have the nerve to say that it was your bad idea that happened that time? You said that you wanted to find a young priest to compete with Merlin in his medical skills. If you win, you can fight against the double break."
The momentum of teaching is not a loss even if we lose, but the result..."
"I didn't say I would use the Holy Coffin." Herodotus shrugged, "It was because you went too far that Merlin caught you."
"You can say whatever you want, but that time I took action and contacted several high priests to save you. In the end, I pushed the disciples of high priest Martina to top the cylinder."
High Priest Reeves' patience was about to run out, and he warned, "Don't forget who brought you to where you are today. Since I can let you come up, of course I can also let you go down.
"Don't think that your wings will be hardened after becoming the high priest. I have been in this position for more than a hundred years longer than you. The church is full of my allies and disciples. No one who opposes me has any good intentions.
End."
"It's probably because the church is full of teachers-like people now that it can't deal with Merlin and his two-year-old teacher." Herodotus said softly.
"What did you say?!" High Priest Reeves suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise why would his usually docile and well-behaved disciple dare to say such words to him.
But what he didn't expect was what happened next. Herodotus's words became even more treasonous.
"Teacher, you and your friends are like moths, clinging to the big tree of Silver Moon Church. They are busy fighting for power and profit every day. They are all fat and fat, racking their brains to think of how to get something for themselves.
We can get more benefits, but no one cares about how to make the big tree under us grow better!"
"Asshole, how did you talk to the teacher!" High Priest Reeves couldn't help being furious when he heard this. He pointed at Herodotus's nose and said, "Do you think I don't know about your little tricks in private? You are really greedy.
You are the one who deserves it!
"I should have listened to High Priest Martina a long time ago and not let a guy like you, who does one thing on the outside and another behind the other, become the high priest!"
"But teacher, you still can't hold it back, right? Because it's hard to find an obedient dog like me." Herodotus smiled slightly, "As I said, teacher, you are always at odds between the interests of the church and yourself.
I would choose the latter."
"Huh, since some dogs can't be fed enough, I'll just change them to another one." High Priest Reeves said coldly.

"Unfortunately the dog has now grown its own teeth and claws."
"Haha, do you think I didn't guard against you? It was my idea to put you in charge of the Guards Corps. Once you get involved in the darkness, you will always be able to live in the darkness, and others will avoid you. You will become
How many allies and confidants has the high priest made over the years?"
"I don't have any allies." Herodotus shook his head.
"Then what are you using to fight me?" High Priest Reeves sneered.
"The Guards." replied the young high priest, "I have the Guards."
The smile on the face of High Priest Reeves froze, "Are you crazy? The Guards are sharp blades used to protect the church and cannot be wielded against one's own people."
"I couldn't do it before, but now I can do it after being trained by me." Herodotus said leisurely, "It's all thanks to you, teacher, for giving me this army."
After a pause, the young priest continued, "Teacher, do you know what is the biggest problem for big people like you? You chase power, worship power, and have been immersed in power for so long that your eyes are filled with tears.
You can only see power, so you regard power as the source of all power.
"But you have ignored the most basic and purest power - that is violence.
"Merlin would never make such a stupid mistake. He formed his own army just half a year after establishing the cult. Admit it, teacher, you are really far behind him. It is impossible to win the weekend like this.
Taught.”
The old priest thought of something and his face became very ugly, but he still managed to say, "We have millions of believers."
"They can also betray Bisiya and convert to Saturday like the new head of the Arias family."
"Then what can you do?"
"Form our own army, a real army, instead of relying on those useless noble lords. Only in this way can we truly defeat Merlin and his Shuangxiu Cult." Herodotus said seriously.
"You will destroy the Silver Moon Church! Why do you think we can stand here for thousands of years? Not forming an army is our promise to the major families in the Western Region, and it is also the foundation of our establishment." High Priest Reeves shouted loudly.
road.
"At this time, we now have millions of believers all over the Western Territory. Even if the nobles are dissatisfied with us, they cannot unite to attack us. Besides...don't we even have excuses now?"
The old priest's eyes widened, with shock written all over his face, "Herodotus, you...you bastard! Did you do it on purpose, to make the church make a fool of yourself again and again in the green field, and lose its face? Hello, hello
How dare you, how dare you do this?!"
"It's time to make changes." The young priest said solemnly, "I received the oracle from the goddess. She was very sad about the current situation of the church, so she ordered me to save everyone and clean up the borers on the trees.
Let the sacred tree regain its glory, this is the mission she gave me."
After Herodotus finished speaking, he took a deep breath and pulled out the knife from his waist.
