Chapter 4 Conspiracy
The house arrest room for Iskar was arranged at the top of a large hall, with a stone staircase as the only access to the house, and a large number of guards were placed outside.
"Bastards of the Temple! I am under house arrest! If my father knew about it, he would not spare them!" she stood by the window, which had a panoramic view of almost the entire City of Angels. Due to the previous attack of the Demon King, there are still many dilapidated buildings being repaired, and a circular cut has been dug out of the mountain range in the distance, which should also be left by the battle at that time.
"Your Highness the Princess. A figure slowly emerged from the corner of the room.
"Who!?" Iskar turned vigilantly, only to see that it was the one-armed man wearing the clown mask from earlier. "It's a lackey of the Temple! What are you doing here?!"
"I'm here this time because I want to tell you something. ”
"Tell me, why should I listen to you, and get out of here before I get angry!" Iskar didn't mean to talk to him, and walked briskly to the table in the center of the room, picked up the fruit bowl on it, and smashed it.
"Smack-" The clown dodged sideways, and the fruit bowl smashed against the stone wall and shattered.
"Please calm down, what I'm about to say is very important. ”
Iskar still unrelentingly reached for something else on the table, intending to continue smashing it.
"Your friends will soon be publicly executed by the Temple. ”
"What!?" Iskar was about to smash the cup out of his hand when he heard his words and stopped. "Public executions!?Are you crazy!My friends are innocent! They survived the battlefield and were to be executed by their own people?!"
"That's right! The Templar has declared that these people are human spies who have defected to the demons, and at the same time, your friend Haruka is also counted as a spy of the demons. ”
"Haruka?! Why! Haruka has made such a sacrifice to protect everyone! Now he wants to put the charge of being a spy on his head!
"As a spy of the Demon Race, the Black Sword Ji and the Adventurers' Guild betrayed the human race, and after the execution of your friend, the Canaan Kingdom where the Adventurers' Guild is located will officially begin. ”
"That's ridiculous! When is there going to be a civil war!Are the Templars crazy?" Iska stomped his feet in frustration, but he couldn't do anything with him under house arrest.
"Crazy? Indeed, from your point of view, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for the Temple to provoke a civil war now, so don't you think such a script is very familiar?" the clown man seemed to have something to say.
"What do you mean... Could it be that ... Iskar slowly walked to the table and sat down on the chair all of a sudden, "It's been a few times before, the Demon King Army always appears when humans are fighting, is this another conspiracy of the Demon Clan?!"
"That's right, this time it's just as they planned. ”
"That is to say... There are demon spies on this side of the temple?"
"Exactly, and it's none other than Archbishop Diama!" the clown said the shocking truth in a calm tone.
"This is impossible, the temple serves the Heavenly Realm Organization, how can it collude with the demons! Iskar looked at the other party coldly, she didn't believe the man in front of her. "I also have reason to suspect that you are a spy of the demon clan now, and now you are plotting against me here?"
"Looks like you're still on your toes. The clown man slowly lifted his mask, and it was none other than the Sword Saint Cassiu.
"Kasiu!?It's you!!" Iskar stood up from her chair in surprise, "How could you... ”
"I'm sorry, Princess Iska, but here I am the Dark Knight Commander of the Templars, and externally I am the steel-level adventurer Sword Saint Cassiu. ”
"So who the hell are you working for?!" Iska looked at him quizzically.
"My true identity is that of an adventurer who infiltrated the Temple as a double agent under the direct commission of the Guild President. ”
"Adventurer!? Does that mean the Guild President ordered you to investigate the Temple?"
"Yes, the temple made it a condition for my sister to continue my sister's life and let me work for the temple, which allowed me to dig deep enough into the interior of the temple. ”
"And what did you find?" Iska was still a little skeptical.
"The conflict between Yartinia and Albania was all planned by the Temple, and the final battle in the Narmisso Plains was also arranged there in advance by him as a matchmaker. ”
"That's why when the two countries are at war, there was a large-scale invasion of the demons?"
"Yes, it is the first battle against the weakening of human power. Cassius slowly walked to the window, looked out at the City of Angels, and spoke again. In order to weaken the power of the Heavenly Realm in the Temple, Diama also planned the Demon King's plan to attack the City of Angels, and successfully destroyed the crystal that kept the Angel Alice, which completely put the plan of human angelization on hold, so that the Heavenly Realm's control of the Temple was minimized, and at the same time, all the attention was focused on the Demon King himself. ”
"And then you encouraged Hernan to become emperor?"
"That's right, even the sudden death of the Emperor was the work of the Temple, and taking advantage of Hernen's ambitions, they completely split the entire empire. ”
"Finally, the Great Prince Jetton, who deliberately corrected Hernan and encircled and suppressed the majority of the Imperial Forces!" Iskar muttered.
"Everything was as the man had planned, and the power of humanity was further weakened. ”
"No, go on like this! Canaan will become the next Albania! I must get out of here at once! Go back to Yatnia, I must tell my father about this, and let him stop the archbishop!!"
"Take it!" Cassius took the sword from under his cloak and handed it to Iska. "Your friend will be executed at noon, you should know what to do. ”
Iscar took the sword and nodded silently......
