Chapter 46. Simon: We've got a traitor in the middle
The two witch priests have their sights on the Winter Gate Fortress and the Garros Fortress.
Chaos on the mainland is coming.
This is also the time when Simon fishes in troubled waters.
It can also be heard from Garfield's words before that the major priests in the witch cult are not united, and it is vain that the high priest and the high priest of pain need to send someone over to reach a consensus if they want to use the power of the high priest of the dead word.
Is it possible to simply use the power of the two witch priests to divide the Winter Gate Fortress and the Garros Fortress into the territory of the Gray Moon?
Simon organized the language and told Garfield what he thought.
"Let the High Priest of False Rumors and the High Priest of Pain take the Fortress of Wintergate and the Fortress of Garros, and then we will reap the fruits? This... If it can be done, it will be a good thing, and we can use it to increase the number of believers in our sect..."
Garfield hesitantly continued:
"But it's better to discuss this kind of thing at the witch meeting."
"There will be a witch meeting in the near future, and there is also the matter of breaking through the two major fortresses, and the other two priests also want to discuss with Lord Deathword."
Witch Meeting.
Again, this is a word that people don't understand.
And the question is... When and where is this witch meeting held?
Again, this is something Simon doesn't know.
This Garfield always seems to like to give Simon some problems.
Simon suppressed the depression in his heart, and his mind raced to think.
But before he could finish thinking, Garfield over there had already said proudly:
"None of the fools in the Empire know about the secret plans of our Witch Church yet, and by the time they do, it'll be too late. And with your clever plan, Lord Dead Whisper, everything is going according to our plan. ”
Seeing Garfield's smug look at the witch's old religion's measures to keep it secret, Simon also nodded without blushing and echoed:
"That's right, we've always done a good job of keeping secrets from the Old Witch Cult, and that's also thanks to you devout believers."
Hearing this half-complimentary remark, Garfield's old face turned red and exclaimed with an extraordinarily fanatical expression:
"That's such a thing! Lady Dead is like my own father, I am your son, and it is only natural for me to contribute to you. ”
Belch.
Rao is Simon's cheekiness, and he can't help but glance at Garfield a little more.
An ordinary man looks red-haired, looks honest, and just looking at the wrinkles on his face, he is probably in his forties.
Simon rubbed his temples.
To be honest, he didn't want to bother with the fact that he had an inexplicable son in his forties when he was just an adult.
So he naturally pulled the topic back:
"By the way, there are some details about the witch meeting you just mentioned, and I still have some details to discuss with you 'individually'."
Simon bites the pronunciation of the word 'alone' and silently glances at the witch believer kneeling on the other side.
"I see. Lord Dead Talker. ”
Garfield bowed his head.
The witch believer consciously dragged the corpse of the 'High Priest of the Dead Words' back into the shadows, and disappeared after a few moments.
This is probably a means for witch believers, who can lurk in the shadows.
Seeing these witch believers disappear, Simon did not hesitate.
He hooked his finger at Garfield, and waited until the other party leaned his ear over in confusion before lowering his voice:
"Garfield, I actually suspect that there are traitors hidden in the Old Witch Cult."
"What?!"
Garfield was shocked when he heard this: "There is a traitor in the pure and noble witch church? ”
But he soon found that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly lowered his head:
"I'm sorry, Lord Deadword, but I just can't believe it."
"You don't have to care." Simon waved his hand and said with a serious expression:
"Actually, I only recently noticed that something was wrong in the church, and I went to investigate privately, but I didn't catch this cunning little mouse."
The more Garfield listened, the more terrified his expression became.
A traitor who can't even catch the traces of Lord Death, could it be that person is...
Before Garfield could ask, Simon had already nodded in affirmation of his thoughts:
"As you can imagine. The traitors are among the five priests. ”
"What! A traitor among the five priests?! Garfield couldn't hold back his expression any longer, and his face was full of unexpectedness.
This, this... If it's really as Lord Dead Whisper says, then it's a bit of a big deal.
One of the five priests was a traitor...
Ahem –
Simon coughed lightly, pulling Garfield's thoughts back, and lowered his voice to soothe:
"Calm down, Garfield, first of all we can eliminate my suspicions, and the rest are only the other four priests, but with a one-in-four probability, we can easily find out who is behind this."
"That's right." Garfield listened to Simon's steady voice and stabilized his mind:
"As long as there is Lord Dead Whisper, it is impossible for the traitors hiding in the shadows to do substantial harm to our holy church."
He looked at Simon feverishly.
And to his words, Simon also said:
"Yes, I'm here, and that hidden traitor can't achieve his goal, but—"
Simon turned his head sideways and asked rhetorically:
"What if the other party wants to hack me at this witch meeting, the only one who knows a little bit of the truth? The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, no matter how I think about it, it's not good. ”
“... Truly. ”
Garfield nodded approvingly.
He didn't need Simon to mention it at all, and after thinking about it, he immediately stood up:
"If that's the case, Garfield is willing to protect Lord Dead Whisper and go with you to the Witches' Council."
Good!
Simon, who got the other party's answer, was comfortable.
This way, you don't have to worry about when and where the witch meeting will be held.
Everything has a good tool for Gafield.
Thinking of this, Simon smiled and nodded:
"Garfield, wait until the day the Witch Conference is officially held. If there is nothing important, there is no need to meet, lest the traitor in the church notice that something is wrong. ”
"I see! In order to find that traitor, in order to breach the Winter Gate and the fortress of Garros! We will definitely work hard to destroy our liver and brains. ”
Garfield had an expression that he wanted to pull out his heart and show it to Simon.
In his opinion, Simon's willingness to reveal such an important matter to himself is actually the greatest trust in him.
Even if it's just for the sake of Lord Dead Whisper, he has to dig up that traitor!
"Let's go down." Simon waved his hand.
"Yes!"
With a heavy sound of promise, Garfield's figure gradually dissolved into the shadows and dissipated.
Feeling silence fall back into silence around him, Simon exhaled.
The matter of the witch church and the witch meeting came to an end temporarily under his operation.
Now Simon has only one and most important thing in front of him.
And that's—
Simon's black eyes rolled to the light screen next to him.
Players' exploration of the witch's ruins.
It has been gradually... Nearing the end.
