Working Prophet

"High Priest Martina, do you want to go back to the Great Temple of Cecily? I happen to be going to the west of the city too. Let's go together, you can take my carriage."

High Priest Kekuon stood under the tree, saw High Priest Martina walking towards this side, and opened the mouth to speak.

High Priest Martina nodded when she heard this, and asked the two disciples who came with her to go back by themselves, and then got into the spacious four-horse carriage of High Priest Kokoon.

After the car door was closed, High Priest Korkuon changed his old look. Even his eyes no longer looked so cloudy. He said in a deep voice, "We must stop Herodotus."

High Priest Martina didn't speak, just quietly waiting for High Priest Kekuon's next words.

"You and I both know that Reeves will never commit suicide because of guilt. I heard that after what happened in Green Field came back, he found Herodotus as soon as possible, probably to discuss the follow-up. As a result, he died suddenly shortly after seeing Herodotus.”

"Are you implying something?"

"Don't say you don't have any doubts, High Priest Martina, you were right about Herodotus before. This man is only honest on the surface, but in fact he is very dangerous. Poor Reeves, he has spent his whole life cultivating his Wings, to expand their own power, but in the end they lost sight of the biggest investment."

High Priest Kokoon sighed, "I know that you and High Priest Reeves have never dealt with each other very well. You don't like him forming gangs everywhere and bringing the same things from noble families to the church, but you also don't like him. I don’t want him to die in such a muddle-headed way, it’s his disciple who did it, this kind of thing is simply appalling!”

"We have no evidence to prove that Herodotus did it." High Priest Martina said.

"Yes, Herodotus insisted that Reeves committed suicide, and the only witness was taken away by him to assist in the investigation. He knew early on that there was nothing we could do against him."

"Who is investigating Reeves' death now?" High Priest Martina asked again.

"The Redmayne family, Thorn City is their territory."

High Priest Martina recalled, "Have the head of the Redmayne family, Ralph, and his eldest son Eddie been killed by the black dragon before? Who is the master of Thorn City now?"

"Ralph's grandson, but the child has just turned three this month, so the decisions now are made by his mother and father, more specifically his father, Fabio. He comes from an unknown little aristocracy, but he is very He knew how to please women, and Ralph's daughter loved him to death.

"It was rumored that Ralph's daughter was pregnant before the two got married. In the end, Ralph could only hold his nose and recognize the son-in-law, but he never saw him very much, not even to see his daughter and grandson. It was pleasing to the eye, so he gave the three people a sum of money and sent them out of Thorn City.

"Since Ralph only has one son and one daughter, after the tragedy of the Redmayne family, the people below worked day and night to find the three members of the family back.

"Those vassals initially wanted Ralph's daughter to be the lord of the city, but the latter said that her body and mind already belonged to her husband and insisted on giving up this position to her husband. However, other members of the Redmayne family and those below The vassals disagreed.

"The two sides argued about this matter for half a month. Reeves also stepped in to mediate on behalf of the church. In the end, they each took a step back and allowed the little brat who was still nursing to become the city lord."

"So High Priest Reeves has a good relationship with the Redmayne family. Do you think they will seriously investigate the death of High Priest Reeves?"

"Fabio is very treacherous. If Reeves is still alive, I have no doubt that he will remember the kindness before, but the problem is that Reeves is dead now." High Priest Kirkuon said, "The church also needs to send Send people to Thorn City to investigate the truth."

"Who shall we send?"

High Priest Kokoon was speechless for a moment. After being silent for a while, he hesitated and said, "High Priest Reeves also has many disciples and friends..."

"What's the difference between them and Fabio? Those who come for profit will inevitably leave for profit."

High Priest Martina said calmly, "Herodotus controls the Guards, the church's only armed force in the dark. They are a group of ruthless unbelievers who only listen to his words. Even if it is really found out that he killed the person, how can we What to do with him?"

High Priest Kokoon was really panicked this time, "Then let's just watch him do whatever he wants. If he can kill his teacher, he can definitely kill us...

"And he also plans to form an army of 3,000 people. Needless to say, he will definitely be the commander-in-chief of the army. By then, he will have two armed forces in his hands, one bright and one secret. No one will be able to control him. gone."

"Did it take you so long to realize what kind of monster would be released by handing over the Guards to Herodotus?" High Priest Martina raised her eyebrows.

High Priest Kokoon had a bitter look on his face, "Yes, it's all our fault for not listening to your advice, High Priest Martina, but now that the matter has come to this, let's think about what to do next.

"As the high priest and a devout believer of the goddess, you definitely don't want the Silver Moon Church to fall completely under the control of Herodotus, so if you have any ideas, please tell me immediately. If there is anyone else in the church who can stop Herodotus, De’s crazy behavior, that must be you.”

"You overestimate me, High Priest Kirkeon." High Priest Martina shook her head and said, "Herodotus is different from his teacher Reeves. He doesn't act according to the rules at all, so I dealt with Reeves before. Si's method is of no use against him."

High Priest Kokoon couldn't help but feel disappointed when he heard this, "Is there really nothing we can do?"

He stared hard into the eyes of High Priest Martina, as if he wanted to see a glimmer of hope in them.

However, the latter's answer made him feel cold, "In short, try to protect yourself as much as possible, and make appropriate concessions to Herodotus when necessary."

…………

High Priest Martina got off the carriage in front of the Great Temple of Cecily, but she didn't enter the temple. After a while, an unremarkable gray carriage stopped in front of her.

High Priest Martina got in, and soon the gray carriage disappeared into the street.

On the other side, High Priest Kokoon has also returned to his residence, but today, there is a guest in his magnificent study.

Herodotus flipped through the "Chronicles of the Silver Moon Church" that he had pulled out from the bookshelf. When he heard footsteps coming from the door, he didn't look up, but pointed to the chair beside him.

"Sit down. What did High Priest Martina just say to you in the carriage? I want you to repeat it to me word for word."
