Chapter 53 2 The People of the Divine Domain
"Figor."
An extremely slight cry reached the ears of High Priest Figol.
When Figor realized that there was a person hidden in the shadows in front of him, the hairs on his body stood on end.
"Who are you?" Looking around, no one was present, and Figol's pale face became even whiter. If the other party can come to him unconsciously like this, then if he wants to be unfavorable to himself, he will be able to succeed in an instant. Figol's size determines that he will not be a fighting person, which is why he has worked hard to strengthen the part above the neck, he is convinced that the mind can make up for the physical disadvantage, but all this is premised on the existence of someone who can be driven, and Figor's combat strength alone will not exceed that of any ordinary people.
"Don't panic, Lord Figor, I won't do anything unfavorable to you."
The man's voice was so soft that he had to concentrate to hear it, and if it weren't for it, Figor wouldn't even be able to detect his presence. But since the other party said so, at least Figol can be temporarily reassured. Figor calmed down and said, "In that case, what do you have to do?" ”
The voice replied, "I have heard that His Excellency the High Priest of Banadus has been in poor health lately, and if he can't afford it, I wonder who will take over the next High Priest?" Who will be the chief high priest? ”
The mysterious man's words hit Figor's soft underbelly directly. Barnadus, the chief priest, was 75 years old, and it was not surprising that anything would happen, but it was not the right time to get sick. Because the open and secret battle between Figol and the other high priest, Ankadirmo, is in full swing, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Originally, Barnadus was suppressed in the upper position, and the two sides did not dare to be too blatant. Now that he is sick, the fight has become more and more superficial. And originally Banadus was more inclined to favor Figor's side. Now that Figol has won the king's favor with his vulture's performance on the battlefield, he is in a critical period of gradual dominance, and if he loses the covert support of Barnadus at this time, things will become delicate. If Barnadus dies further, it is really difficult to say which faction the new High Priest will support, and more importantly, Figol is not sure that he can sit on the throne of the Chief High Priest at this time, and everything will be messed up.
If the other party can hit the point of his own point with a single sentence, and it is obvious that he is well aware of the stakes, then this visit must have another purpose. Figol, who had regained his composure, smiled slightly. Said: "The sudden visit of the foot must have some advice, right?" Listen to the ears and ears, no need to play dumb riddles. ”
"Hehe, Lord Figor is really powerful, so I won't go around in circles. I am here to give you a word of advice, and it is more important to worry about Lord Barnadus's physical condition than about his actual actions. ”
Figol was shocked when he heard this, and the other party's meaning was obvious, Barnadus's physical condition did not need to worry about himself. But whether Barnadus continued to be sick or his condition deteriorated, it was quite detrimental to him, and if his condition had improved, then there was no need to give him any advice, and his meaning was all pointing to an answer. That is, Barnadus is faking illness at all, and his purpose in faking illness is obviously not good for himself.
If this is the case, then Barnadus is faking illness in order to make the contradictions between himself and Ankadilmo superficial. Then he can refuse to help him on the grounds of illness, thus balancing the forces of the two factions! It seems that he made the eagle's head. It had already aroused the alarm of the old fox Barnadus, who had begun to attack himself so quickly. Come to think of it. Figor asked, "Do you mean that Lord Barnadus has secretly joined forces with Lord Ankadirme?" ”
Figor's words obviously surprised the other party, and the voice said after a while: "Your Excellency is really a shrewd person, it seems that my master has not looked away, and you are the best choice for the chief priest." ”
Figor suddenly realized that the mysterious person in front of him turned out to be a man of Kadir III! The plan he had agreed with Kadir III to jointly seek the position of chief priest should not have been known to a third person. Immediately, he said: "It's hard for your master to bother." Since I made a special trip to give me this news, I guess the master has already thought of a strategy to deal with it, right? ”
"Not bad. My master said that since Lord Barnadus has deliberately suppressed you, then he will not be able to provide any help to you, whether he is in office or not, so why not make a fake show and make him terminally ill? It's just that before he dies, I hope that you can arrange everything, so as not to be caught off guard and taken advantage of by others. ”
Figor suddenly understood Kadir's intentions, he was going to poison Barnadus, leaving him bedridden for a long time, and finally dying. In this way, he will not be able to provide more help to Ankadilmo in secret, and he can use this time to strengthen his power and gain an advantage in the competition with Ankadilmo, and then the new High Priest will be Figor's man, and the position of Chief High Priest will be him. As for when to let Barnadus die, it all depends on whether he is ready or not, as long as he needs him to live for a day, this mysterious man will not really stammer Barnadus for a day, which is really a good way to get the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Figol's pale face: "In this way, it is necessary to work hard and respect the master." Please convey to the Venerable Master that I will thank him for his kindness and will work together with the Lord to create a satisfying era. ”
"Such a villain will retire." When the voice had said this, there was no more sound.
From the beginning to the end, Figol had never seen a single part of this person, and if he hadn't experienced it himself, he would have thought it was a hallucination. Figor couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart: there was such a terrible person around Kadir who could get rid of Barnadus without knowing it, so if he wanted to get rid of himself one day in the future, would he be able to escape?
From this day on, Figol began to have more than ten personal guards around him, and all the priests thought that he was there to prevent Ankadirmo from harming him, but in fact, he really wanted to guard against his current powerful ally, King Kadir. (To be continued......)
