After capturing Herodotus, Juan not only did not relax, but he became very energetic. He immediately rushed to the Dorothy City with his people without stopping.
They rested only four times along the way, and ate only the dry food they brought with them. They tried their best to avoid interacting with the lords along the way, and only showed a letter written by High Priest Quintus when they were stopped, asking for passage.
In this way, it only took six days to arrive at Duolin City.
The moment he saw the city wall, Juan's tense heart was finally relieved.
He sent someone to notify High Priest Quintus and Lord Shapiro in advance. At this moment, both of them had arrived outside the city, and behind them were the guards of the Raimondi family, a total of three hundred people.
.
Juan asked the others to stay where they were, and he walked over with Herodotus.
After Herodotus was arrested, except for the first day when he was more interested in the sacred artifact of the Shuangxiu Church carried by Juan and asked a few more questions, he behaved very quietly afterwards.
Only then did he speak again, "It seems we are about to part ways, knight."
Juan ignored it.
Herodotus didn't care and continued on his own, "Send hello to your lord for me and tell her that I look forward to meeting her again. By then we will decide the ownership of the Western Territory."
Juan said, "There is no next encounter. Do you think you can still survive after being sent to the Scaled City? Besides, Sir Ilea is different from you. She doesn't have your greed and will not betray the Figuerola family.
."
"Really? What about Prophet Merlin? He is also content with the status quo and has no ambitions?" Herodotus smiled.
Juan was silent.
Herodotus said no more, and followed Juan as he dismounted and came to the presence of High Priest Quintus and Lord Shapiro.
Herodotus first glanced at Quintus and said approvingly, "You are in charge of the Silver Moon Church now? Well done, you actually caught me. They should have made you the high priest sooner."
Then he looked at Shapiro aside, "Are you..."
"Your nightmare, you murdered my father and brother, now it's time to pay off your debt." A sinister smile appeared on Shapiro's face.
"Oh, you are now the lord of the Scaled City, shouldn't you thank me for this?" Herodotus asked.
"I like your sense of humor, really, because you will definitely need it later." Shapiro said while adjusting Herodotus' collar.
After speaking, he leaned into Herodotus' ear and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.
"As for my father and brother, I do have to thank you, but you know, I have to be a little angry in front of outsiders, so until the trial, you and I will still have a very pleasant time.
.
"I won't kill you, but I promise you will beg me to kill you when the time comes."
After saying that, he asked the guards behind him to escort Herodotus to the castle.
High Priest Quintus expressed his gratitude to Juan and invited them to attend the celebration banquet in the evening, but Juan declined.
The latter said that he had been away from Luye for a while, and he and his men hoped to go back as soon as possible.
High Priest Quintus did not force it. Juan and others were all believers of the Shuangqiu Church. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to participate in the celebration banquet held by the Silver Moon Church. It was not only embarrassing for them, but also for other people at the banquet.
Moreover, because of the common enemy Herodotus, the relationship between the Silver Moon Church and the Shuangxiu Church had eased. Even if Hells hinted to Quintus to find a way to curb the development of the Shuangxiu Church, Quintus just pretended not to have heard it.
.
But now that Herodotus has been arrested, the double break will become a thorn in the side of the Silver Moon Church again.
Quintus asked someone to take out three thousand golden lions and give them to Juan as a reward for capturing Herodotus.
After taking the money, the latter stopped the high priest who was about to leave, "Why don't you kill him now?"
"What?" Quintus stopped.
"Why not just kill Herodotus?" Juan said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let such a guy live even one more night."
"Silver Moon Church has church rules," Quintus explained, "This is also the biggest difference between us and Herodotus. We cannot take away a person's life without trial, even if the person is heinous.
"Besides, there are still many remnants of the Blood Moon Society outside, and I heard that Herodotus is also in contact with the traitors Hugo and Ilkand. We still have many things to ask him.
"Of course the trial will not take too long. The date of the trial has been set. It will be in one month. If Sir Ilea is interested, she can also come and observe."
Juan nodded, "I will take your words back." Then he got on his horse and left with the rest of the people.
After returning to Teacup Castle, Juan completely narrated to the female lord what had happened in the past few days, including what Herodotus and Quintus said to him outside the Scaled City.
Miss Rabbit was startled after hearing this, "Herodotus said that when he and I meet again, he will decide the ownership of the Western Territory?"
"Here's what he said."
"That guy is too arrogant. Where did he leave the Figuerola family? They are the real masters of the Western Territory. Everyone in this land thinks so."
"I also answered him the same way, saying that you will not betray the Figuerola family."
Miss Rabbit nodded, and then added after a moment, "Herodotus also said that the prophet Merlin also wanted the West... Do you think this is credible?"
"I think he just said this to sow discord between you and the Prophet Merlin. You don't need to take it to heart."
"No, you misunderstood me. I'm not doubting the prophet Merlin. I just realized that Merlin also has ideas about the Western Region. Well, he did say that he hopes more people will believe in Shuangxiu Cult..."
Miss Rabbit touched her chin, "If I can help him win the Western Region, then will he..."
Juan was startled, "Lord Ilea, do you want to replace the Figuerola family and become the new master of the Western Territory?"
"No, I just want to have a good chat with Hells when he comes back to see if I can convince him to support the Double Holiday Church to replace the Silver Moon Church. Why do you all always feel that I want to replace the Figuerola family?
"
"Did anyone else say that but me?"
"Angela, she thinks I established the movie viewing party for this reason." The female lord waved her hand, "Forget it, that kid's brain has never been very good, don't take it to heart."
Juan sorted out his words in his mind and advised, "You'd better not go to Mr. Hells. He is very wary of you now, and he certainly doesn't want Shuangxiujiao to develop too fast in the Western Region, let alone replace it."
Silver Moon Church."
"Well, you're right, I just wanted to ask."
