-55- The Angry High Priest(2/2)
"Haha, otherwise why do you think he is so anxious to make his illegitimate son Lenore his heir?"
The man chuckled.
The high priest was silent.
His expression kept changing.
Looking at the high priest who was lost in thought, the man smiled:
"It seems you have thought of it too."
"The Principality of Boulder is about to fall into chaos. At this time... whoever can get the Castel Territory first will be able to help you."
"Hey, Castel is as rich as a country. He can spend a lot of money to help you rise to power. Sometimes we don't lack connections, but we lack enough Quintana."
The high priest looked at him coldly:
"Your purpose is not just Castel, right?"
The man heyed twice but didn't answer.
The high priest looked at him quietly for a few seconds and said coldly:
"What the church has said will not be taken back. The church will still protect Castel in name."
"Of course, I will turn a blind eye or close an eye to your actions."
The man smiled:
"That's enough. Don't worry, I am a person who fulfills my promise. I will not kill her, but will train her and send her to you. Of course... to people outside, she has already
died."
The high priest snorted coldly and his expression softened slightly.
He paused and said:
"No need for training, I want the original taste."
"Besides... don't be so confident. Even without the protection of the church, Castel still has secret power. The two demon-hunting knights sent by the church to protect her last night were taken down as stalkers, and they didn't even take action.
No one was seen."
"You don't have to worry, I have my own plan."
The man said with a smile.
"There is also the matter of the evil god's resurrection..."
"You don't have to worry about this. As we all know, the conscientious high priest has never hidden the news of the evil god's resurrection. Everything is just a rumor."
"Huh! Remember what you said!"
The high priest glared at him fiercely, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
"No!"
The man said loudly.
And it wasn't until the great priest left in the car that he chuckled lightly and turned back to the second floor.
When he came to the study, he sat down in front of the desk. A black shadow slowly emerged behind him, and finally condensed into a human shape, turning into a rickety figure wearing a black hood.
Seeing the rickety figure next to him, the man smiled slightly:
"You're back? How about your investigation?"
"Hehehe, it's the Rose Society. The person who secretly protects her should be the Rose Society. My blood servant died on the territory of the Rose Society. And this morning, a demi-human maid suspected of belonging to the Rose Society appeared in Castel Manor.
.”
The ricket figure said hoarsely.
"The Rose Club? What a bunch of haunting guys! They've been jumping up and down for so many years, and before I even had time to cause trouble with them, they stuck to them again like a nasty fly."
The man frowned.
"So...how do you want to deal with these pesky flies?"
The rickety figure asked with interest.
The man hummed softly and took out a stack of parchment from under the desk:
"I wanted to deal with them later, but it seems... we have to move forward. The president of the Rose Society is a big trouble, and we must get rid of it in advance."
"Being able to get the support of the Rose Society, it seems that Castel has a lot of background..."
The rickety figure turned over the parchment without commenting:
"Hey, sheltering wanted pagan demi-humans? Smuggling contraband? Participating in the Blood Demon case? Having an affair with the Adam Order? And... colluding with evil gods? Gee, where did you find so many good things? There should be some
Is it forged?"
"You don't need to worry about it. Send these to the trial court and those guys will go to hell."
"The Rose Society...from top to bottom, I want them...all to die!"
The man said coldly.
"Hey, the question is, who do you want to let go? The trial court always attaches great importance to the source of information. Don't tell me that you plan to report anonymously. It's useless. There are eyes all around the trial court! Even a bird can trace the source for you.
!”
"I have my own choice."
The man said calmly.
After speaking, he gently pressed the bell on the table.
After a while, the study door was lightly knocked.
"Come in."
The man was dignified and authentic.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a gentle and beautiful Priestess walked in.
She bowed respectfully to the man:
"My Lord Count."
"Get up, the high priest has left, you don't have to hide anymore."
The man nodded slightly.
As he spoke, he supported his chin with both hands, looked at the beautiful priest, and smiled slightly:
"How many years have you been with me?"
Priestess replied respectfully:
"It's been seven years."
"Seven years..."
The man sighed softly.
"In seven years, you have become a first-level priest. The church trusts you, the Demon Hunt trusts you, and even the always harsh Trial House... there are many trial knights who have accepted your treatment and accepted your favors.
.”
As he spoke, he smiled slightly:
Chapter completed!
