He is actually cooperating with the Blood Demon Cult in preparing for the divine descending ceremony!
The high priest was shocked, frightened and angry.
My God, if he knew that these guys who were not afraid of death were actually doing this, even if he gave up his priesthood and retired, he would never get involved with Drunken Dream Salon!
It’s crazy!
If the divine descending is really successful and the incarnation of the Blood Demon Grand Duke comes, let alone the city of Boulder, I am afraid that the entire Principality of Boulder will be destroyed!
At this moment, the high priest was really scared.
Not only was I scared, but I was also terrified.
"Your Majesty the Great Priest, what does this ceremony... mean?"
As if noticing his slight change in expression, Duke Bold frowned and asked.
As a Knight of the Blazing Sun, although he possesses great power, he does not know much about this magical ritual.
Looking at the confused Duke of Bold, the high priest fell silent.
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"Nothing, it's just a ritual of offering sacrifices to the Blood Demon Archduke and seeking gifts."
He dared not tell the Duke what ceremony it was.
If you tell the other party, the other party will report it to the diocese immediately.
There is no doubt that now the Duke and even the witcher knights have some suspicions that he is related to the Drunken Dream Salon.
Although all the nobles involved were dead, the Tribunal had its own means and the high priest did not dare to gamble.
His secrets cannot withstand investigation, he has left too many clues, and he needs time to deal with his problems.
However, the high priest also knew that this matter could not be delayed.
If the Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy really succeeds and the evil god comes, his end will not be good.
The high priest was in a dilemma.
An unprecedented dilemma.
"Damn it! It's the Blood Demon Cult again, it's the Evil God's again...it's really endless!"
The Duke of Bold cursed.
After calming down, he said to the high priest:
"Master High Priest..."
"The nobles of the principality hold evil drunken dream salons and collude with the Blood Demon Cult. They must be severely cleaned up..."
"I hope you can support me in fighting these audacious guys!"
After hearing the old Duke's words, the high priest's heart moved slightly.
He looked up at the other person and saw an old and calm face, with firm belief and meaningful sincerity.
The high priest instantly understood that the old Duke wanted to make a deal with him.
He didn't mention what happened in the study just now, because he wanted to take the Duke's palace out of the drunken dream salon.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this opportunity to purge those nobles in the principality who were ready to take action.
As for the content of the transaction... although the other party didn't say it, it was obvious.
He will not be deeply involved in the evil god's actions, nor will he delve into whether the high priest has anything to do with Drunken Dream Salon.
This is playing into the hands of the great priest. He is in trouble now, and he really can't have another blazing sun by his side to cause trouble.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke, the fallen nobles of the Principality must be severely punished!"
He said solemnly.
"Master High Priest, I will leave first. The cultists here are also at your disposal. I believe you can pry out the complete list of nobles from them."
The old Duke said meaningfully.
This is a naked exchange of interests.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke can also provide the church with a list of suspicions to support each other."
The high priest thought for a moment and reciprocated the favor.
The two old foxes quickly exchanged needs.
There was no point in staying, so the Duke of Bold left quickly.
Before leaving the dungeon, he completely destroyed Count Tulip's study with one sword.
The high priest's eyelids twitched, but he did not stop him. He even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After all...who knows if there is anything against him left in the study.
It wasn't until the old Duke left that his expression gradually became serious.
Duke Bold was willing to make this deal with him because the other party didn't know what the ritual in the dungeon actually represented.
But he knows it himself.
He can deceive others, but he cannot deceive himself or the truth.
The divine descending ceremony was of great importance. He could not hide it and had to report it.
However, the high priest did not dare to report it.
Even if all traces of himself were erased and the matter of the Blood Demon Order was blamed on the dead nobles, it would not work.
the reason is simple.
Count Tulip knows his secret, and Count Tulip is cooperating with the Blood Demon Order, so is there a possibility...that someone in the Blood Demon Order also knows about him?
The high priest did not dare to gamble.
If it really attracts the attention of the diocese, even if the Blood Demon Order's conspiracy is foiled, his secret may be exposed.
His behavior is almost equivalent to cooperating with the Blood Demon Order.
At that time, his fate will only be to join the Judgment Force or to be directly purified...
The more the great priest thought about it, the more desperate he became.
He suddenly found that he had reached a dead end.
Report the matter and send someone down from the diocese. His secret is likely to be exposed, and the outcome is not much different from death.
If this matter is not reported, the Blood Demon Cult will become more and more troublesome. If it really succeeds, everything will be even more serious.
Not only that, even if the matter was not mentioned, the death of the great knight had already alarmed the diocese.
The diocese... will sooner or later send people to investigate these days. Not to mention the Blood Demon Order, even his suppression of the coming of the evil god may be investigated by them!
etc……
That evil god?
As if he thought of something, the great priest's heart moved.
There are various signs that this mysterious evil god... seems to have a grudge against the Blood Demon Cult.
Whether it was the failed Blood Demon sacrifice in Castel Manor or the destruction of the Drunken Dream Salon, the other party seemed to be targeting the Blood Demon Order.
So, is there a possibility that he can use the power of this evil god to fight against the divine descent prepared by the Blood Demon Order?
It is obvious that this evil god behaves very principledly and should be the kind of evil god who can communicate.
So... is it possible for him to find a way to contact this evil god and make a deal with him?
If everything goes well, maybe he won't need to report the Blood Demon Order's conspiracy at all, and he can solve the Blood Demon Order's troubles on his own.
And after solving the problem, he can even blame everything on this evil god...
The more the great priest thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible!
As long as he does it properly, maybe he can use his strength to solve the problem of the Blood Demon Order once and for all, and let the evil god take the blame!
The high priest still thinks that this idea can be tried. Various signs indicate that this evil god does not seem to have much hostility towards the Holy Royal Court.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand peacefully outside the manor just now.
Soon, the great priest had everything figured out.
And if there's really something I can't figure out...
Probably, there was only the resentful spirit that clearly wanted to attack him but suddenly disappeared.
…
"Great Master, why didn't you let those evil spirits attack the great priest just now?"
Under the night, Sebastian, who let go of all the survivors except the blood servants and left the crime scene with the help of Count Tulip's teleportation scroll, looked at Charlotte who was acting with him and asked curiously.
Charlotte sighed slightly:
"Kara's sister is also among those resentful spirits."
"She is kind to me. Even if she exposes the crimes of the great priest, it cannot be at the expense of consuming the soul of her sister..."
"Not to mention, it's just to let him live a little longer."
As she said that, Charlotte looked at the scroll in her hand that recorded the crimes of the high priest.
