Tome of Blood Chapter 55

  Chapter 55-55-The Angry Priest

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

  The galloping 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 completely hidden in a cloak came down.

  He refused the servant's service and strode into the hall.

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

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

  The angry roar caused echoes in the hall, frightening the maids in the hall to tremble.

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

If Charlotte were here, she would find that this person was none other than the young aristocrat Jordan de Gaston who was frightened by Sebastian at the dinner in the Duke's mansion and made a lot of ugly appearances in front of her. .

  Seeing the figure in the cloak, Jordan's expression changed slightly, and he became a little nervous.

   Waved his hand, he made the maids retreat one after another, and then put on a respectful and flattering face:

   "Big... big priest, why are you here?"

  The visitor snorted coldly and took off the cloak on his body.

  He is none other than the great priest of the Principality of Boulder—Linus de Caen!

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

   "Why I came, you should understand."

   "Tell me, did you, the little bastard, tell that guy about the rose of thorns?"

  After listening to the words of the great priest, Jordan dodged his eyes and looked terrified:

   "Big... big priest, you... listen to my explanation..."

   "I... I have no other choice..."

   "I have no choice but to fart! This old man has sheltered you so many times, is this how you repay me? Are you really afraid that I will reveal to your father the things you participated in?!"

  The great priest said angrily.

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

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

   "Master Linus, calm down."

   "Too much anger is bad for your health, especially for an elder like you."

   As he spoke, with the sound of steady footsteps, a man in a mage's robe slowly walked down.

  Seeing the man, the great priest's eyes froze slightly.

  He narrowed his eyes, his expression turned cold:

   "Is it you? You guys are here too?"

   "Hmph! Exactly! Should you give me an explanation for the blood demon case yesterday?"

  The man smiled slightly.

  He signaled Jordan to back down, and then said lightly:

   "Explanation? I don't know what kind of explanation Your Excellency the High Priest needs? Do you want to ask me about the missing girls, or do you want to ask about the thorny roses I left at the scene?"

  The expression of the great priest suddenly became gloomy:

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

   "Agreement? Hmm? Isn't it the great priest who broke the contract first?"

  The man said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

  The great priest's expression sank.

   "What do you mean? Of course it means literally. You reached an agreement with the young lady of the Castel family without my consent. Where does this leave me?"

  The man said leisurely.

   As he spoke, his voice became cold:

   "Don't forget, we agreed at the beginning that the young lady of the Castel family can belong to you, but the Castel collar must belong to me!"

  The great priest narrowed his eyes and said:

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

   "After more than half a year, I successfully competed to be the officiant. You can attack her as you like, and I can even cooperate on the sidelines!"

   "Oh? Is that really the case? I'm afraid that at that time, you will happily take her away from the land of right and wrong, and you will probably forget me as an old friend? What's more, the Holy King Court is not up to you."

  The man chuckled and said.

  The great priest was silent.

  He narrowed his eyes slightly:

   "What the **** do you mean?"

   "No other meaning, just to remind you, don't forget the agreement with me."

   "I know that 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, anger appeared in the eyes of the great priest, but it quickly 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 make theocratic claims to Castells."

"This is impossible!"

  The great priest categorically rejected it.

   "Then don't blame me for tripping you up."

  The man said leisurely.

"you wanna die!"

  The great priest was furious.

  He picked up the man, and the coercion of the third level of Chi Yang was extremely terrifying.

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

   "Calm down."

   "If you kill me, you hide the evil god's recovery, and the things you did before... It will spread all over the streets of Boulder tomorrow."

  The face of the great priest changed slightly.

  His hands were trembling, his eyes were red, and he looked at the man with anger, but finally put him down in a slump.

   "That's right, my lord priest."

  The man said leisurely.

  The great priest closed his eyes gently, and gritted his teeth:

   "I really regret it, I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense at the beginning! I got on your thief ship!"

   "Hey, there are always regrets in life, but it's not okay to indulge in regrets, we still have to look forward."

  The man laughed.

   After finishing speaking, he pointed out something:

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

  The great priest's heart moved:

"What do you mean."

  The man paused and said leisurely:

   "I heard that the great Duke of Bold has relapsed from his old injury. I'm afraid he won't have many days to live."

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

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

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

"real?"

   "Hehe, otherwise, why do you think he was in such a hurry to make his illegitimate son Leno his heir?"

  The man chuckled lightly.

  The great priest was silent.

  His expression kept changing.

  Looking at the great priest who was lost in thought, the man smiled:

   "It seems that 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 can help you."

   "Hey, Castel is so rich that it is enough to spend a lot of money to help you get up. Sometimes we don't lack connections, what we lack is enough Quintana."

  The great priest looked at him coldly:

   "Your purpose is not just Castel, right?"

  The man heyed twice, but did not answer.

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

   "What the church has said will not be taken back, and the church will still protect Castel in name."

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

  The man laughed:

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

  The great priest snorted coldly, his expression slightly relaxed.

  He paused and said:

   "No need to adjust, I want the original taste."

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

   "You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plan."

  The man said with a smile.

   "There is also the resurrection of the evil god..."

   "You don't have to worry about this. As we all know, the dedicated great priest has never hidden the news of the evil god's recovery. Everything is a rumor."

   "Hmph! Remember what you said!"

  The great priest glared at him viciously, then flung his sleeves away.

   "No delivery!"

  The man said loudly.

   It wasn't until the great priest left in the car that he chuckled 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 form, turning into a crooked figure wearing a black hood.

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

   "Back? How about your investigation?"

"Hehehe, it's the Rose Society. The person who secretly protected her should be the Rose Society. My blood servant died in the Rose Society's territory, and this morning there appeared a demi-human maid suspected of belonging to the Rose Society in Castel Manor. .”

  The rickety figure said hoarsely.

   "The Rose Society? What a group of lingering fellows! I have been jumping up and down for so many years, and I have not had time to trouble them before I stick to them like annoying flies."

  The man frowned.

   "So... what do you want to do with these pesky flies?"

  The rickety figure asked with great interest.

  The man snorted 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 ahead. 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 hunched figure was noncommittal, turning over the parchment by himself:

"Hey, sheltering the wanted pagan demihumans? Smuggling contraband? Participating in blood demon cases? Having an affair with Adam's order? And... in collusion with evil gods? Tsk tsk, where did you find so many good things? Some of them should be Forged, right?"

   "You don't need to worry about this, send these to the court, enough for those guys to go to hell."

   "The roses will... from top to bottom, and I'm going to make them... all dead!"

  The man said coldly.

"Hey, the question is, who do you let go? The court has always attached great importance to the source of information. Don't tell me that you plan to report anonymously. It's useless. The court is surrounded by eyes! Even a bird can trace the source for you !"

   "I have someone to choose."

  The man is calm and authentic.

   After finishing speaking, he lightly rang the bell on the table.

  A moment later, the door of the study was knocked lightly.

"Come in."

  The man is majestic and authentic.

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

  She bowed respectfully to the man:

   "Your Earl."

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

  The man nodded slightly.

   As he spoke, he rested his chin on both hands, looked at the beautiful priest, and smiled slightly:

   "How long 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-rank priest. The Church trusts you, the Demon Hunting Institute trusts you, and even the always strict Trial House... many trial knights have received your treatment and accepted your favor. "

   As he spoke, he smiled slightly:

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

   Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket! Please follow up!
