Chapter 55 55 The Angry High Priest

Chapter 55 -55- The Angry High Priest

At the junction of the abandoned urban area and the western urban area, in front of a magnificent manor.

The speeding carriage came from afar, drove into the manor, and finally stopped in front of the manor villa.

The side door of the carriage opened, and a figure hidden in a cloak walked out.

He declined the service of the footman and strode into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he roared, his old voice full of anger:

"Jordan! You little bastard! Get out of here!"

The angry roar caused echoes in the hall, making the maids in the hall tremble with fear.

A moment later, accompanied by hurried footsteps, a slender and handsome figure walked down the stairs.

If Charlotte were here, she would find that this person is none other than Jordan de Gaston, a young aristocrat who was frightened to death by Sebas at the dinner at the Duke's Palace and behaved ugly in front of her. .

Seeing the figure wearing a cloak, Jordan's expression changed slightly and he suddenly felt nervous.

With a wave of his hand, he asked the maids to leave one after another, and then put on a respectful and flattering face:

"Great... Great Priest, why are you here?"

The visitor snorted and took off his cloak.

He is none other than Linus de Caen, the great priest of the Principality of Bold!

I saw the great priest looking at the young nobleman coldly, and his old voice suppressed his anger:

"You should understand why I came."

"Tell me, was it you little bastard who told that guy about Thorn Rose?"

After hearing the words of the great priest, Ruoerdan's eyes dodge, with a look of fear on his face:

"Great... Great Priest, you... please listen to my explanation..."

"I...I have no choice but to..."

"You have no choice! I have protected you so many times. Is this how you repay me? Are you really not afraid that I will expose the things you participated in to your father?!"

The high priest said angrily.

Jordan's face turned pale and he almost fell to the ground.

And at this moment, along with a distant sigh, a gentle and calm voice came from the steps:

"Lord Linus, please calm down."

"Being too angry is not good for your health, especially for an elder like you."

As he spoke, with steady footsteps, a man wearing a mage's robe slowly walked down.

Seeing the man, the high priest's eyes narrowed slightly.

He narrowed his eyes and his expression turned cold:

"Is it you? You're actually here too?"

"Hmph! Just right! Should you give me an explanation for yesterday's blood demon case?"

The man smiled slightly.

He signaled Jordan to retreat, and then said calmly:

"Explanation? I wonder what kind of explanation the High Priest needs? Do you want to ask me about the missing girls, or do you want to ask me about the thorns and roses I left at the scene?"

The high priest's expression suddenly darkened:

"I want to remind you that you have crossed the line. Don't forget our agreement!"

"Promise? Huh? Wasn't it the great priest who broke the contract first?"

The man said calmly.

"What do you mean?"

The high priest's expression darkened.

"What do you mean? Of course it means literally. You made a private agreement with the eldest lady of the Castel family without my consent. Where does this put me?"

The man said leisurely.

As he spoke, his voice became colder:

"Don't forget, we agreed at the beginning that the eldest daughter of the Castel family can be yours, but the Castel territory must be mine!"

The high priest narrowed his eyes and said:

"It was just a temporary need. It was an empty promise. I didn't sign a contract with her."

"After more than half a year, I successfully compete to be the officiant. You can do whatever you want to her, and I can even cooperate from the sidelines!"

"Oh? Is that really like this? I'm afraid that by that time, you happily took her away from the land of right and wrong, and you may have forgotten me as an old friend? What's more, you don't have the final say in the Holy Royal Court."

The man chuckled and said.

The high priest was silent.

He narrowed his eyes slightly:

"What on earth do you mean?"

"Nothing else, I just want to remind you not to forget your agreement with me."

"I know you are eager to make contributions and want to increase your chips. This is normal, but please don't affect my plan."

The man said coldly.

After hearing the man's words, a flash of anger appeared in the high priest's eyes, but it soon turned into fear.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said:

"what do you want?"

"I want the church not to protect Charlotte of Castells, and not to demand theocracy from the Land of Castells."

"This is impossible!"

The high priest flatly rejected it.

"Then don't blame me for stumbling upon you."

The man said leisurely.

"you wanna die!"

The high priest was immediately furious.

He lifted the man up, and the pressure of the third level of Blazing Sun was extremely terrifying.

The man's face turned slightly pale, but he smiled with difficulty:

"Calm down."

"If you kill me, you will hide the resurrection of the evil god and the things you have done before...the news will spread throughout the streets of Boulder tomorrow."

The high priest's face changed slightly.

His hands were shaking, his eyes were red, and he looked at the man with anger, but he finally let him go.

"That's right, High Priest."

The man said leisurely.

The High Priest closed his eyes gently and gritted his teeth:

"I really regret that I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense! I got on your pirate ship!"

"Hey, there are always things to regret in life, but we can't indulge in regrets. We still have to look forward."

The man smiled.

After that, he said meaningfully:

"Don't be too angry, maybe... helping me get Castel Territory as soon as possible is also a good thing for you."

The High Priest's heart moved:

"What do you mean."

The man paused and said leisurely:

"I heard that the great Duke of Borde's old injury relapsed, I'm afraid he won't live for many days."

"If you expect him to help you, I'm afraid your hope will be dashed."

"His body has long been overdrawn in years of war, and he can no longer accept divine treatment."

After hearing the man's words, the High Priest's expression changed slightly:

"Really?"

"Haha, otherwise why do you think he was so anxious to make his illegitimate son Leno 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 that you have thought of it too."

"The Principality of Boerde is about to fall into chaos. At this time... whoever can get Castel first can help you."

"Hehe, Castel is rich enough to rival a country, enough to pay a large sum of money to help you get to the top. Sometimes we don't lack ways, but we lack enough Quintana."

The high priest looked at him coldly:

"Your goal is not just Castel, right?"

The man chuckled twice and did not answer.

The high priest looked at him quietly for a few seconds and said coldly:

"The church will not take back what it has said, and the church will still protect Castel in name."

"Of course, I will turn a blind eye to your actions."

The man smiled:

"That's enough, don't worry, I am a person who keeps his promises, I will not kill her, but will send her to you after training her, of course... for people outside, she is already dead."

The high priest snorted coldly, his expression slightly relaxed.

He paused and said:

"No need to be trained, I want the original flavor."

"Besides... don't be so confident. Even without the protection of the church, Castel still has hidden power. The two demon hunters sent by the church to protect her last night were taken down as stalkers, and no one was even seen."

"Don't worry about this, I have my own plan."

The man smiled.

"And the matter of the resurrection of the evil god..."

"Don't worry about this either. As everyone knows, the dedicated and responsible high priest has never concealed the news of the resurrection of the evil god. Everything is a rumor."

"Hmph! Remember what you said!"

The high priest glared at him fiercely and left with his sleeves.

"No need to see you off!"

The man said loudly.

And until the high priest left in a car, he chuckled and turned back to the second floor.

Coming to the study, he sat down in front of the desk. A black shadow slowly emerged behind him, and finally condensed into a human form, turning into a hunched figure wearing a black hood.

Seeing the hunched figure beside him, the man smiled slightly:

"Are you back? How is the matter you asked me to investigate?"

"Hehehe, it's the Rose Society. The people who secretly protected her should be the Rose Society. My blood servant died in the territory of the Rose Society, and this morning, a subhuman maid suspected to belong to the Rose Society appeared in the Castel Manor."

The hunched figure said hoarsely.

"The Rose Society? What a group of ghosts! They have been jumping up and down for so many years, and I haven't had time to find trouble with them, and they are like annoying flies sticking to me again."

The man frowned.

"So...how do you want to deal with these annoying flies?"

The hunched figure asked with interest.

The man snorted and pulled out a stack of parchments from under the desk:

"I wanted to deal with them later, but it seems... I have to do it in advance. The president of the Rose Society is a big trouble and must be eliminated in advance."

"It seems that Castel has a lot of background to get the support of the Rose Society..."

The hunched figure did not comment and turned the parchment by himself:

"Hey, sheltering wanted pagan sub-humans? Smuggling contraband? Participating in the blood demon case? Having an affair with the Adam Cult? And... colluding with evil gods? Tsk, where did you find so many good things? Some of them should be forged, right?"

"Don't worry about it. Send these to the Inquisition. It's enough for those guys to go to hell."

"The Rose Society... from top to bottom, I want them... all dead!"

The man said coldly. "Hey, the question is, who do you want to go? The Inquisition has always attached great importance to the source of information. Don't tell me you plan to report anonymously, that's useless. The Inquisition is full of eyes! Any bird can trace the source for you!" "I have my own choice." The man said lightly. After speaking, he gently pressed the bell on the table. A moment later, the door of the study was gently knocked. "Come in." The man said majestically.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and a gentle and beautiful priestess walked in.

She bowed respectfully to the man:

"Mr. Earl."

"Get up, the high priest has left, you don't have to hide."

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?"

The 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 Hunting Institute trusts you, and even the always strict Inquisition... There are many Inquisition Knights who have received your treatment and received your favors."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly:

"Lottie, now I have two things for you to do."
