Chapter 357: On Sin

Of course, Cecil's justifications are undoubtedly some trash talk to delay time, during which Cecil is thinking quickly that although he has a good relationship with the Grand Priest Alonso, he cannot form a core party anyway. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 šŸ”„ What is the purpose of being on this list? Who is it that wants to harm me?

The first suspect is the Clifford Grand Priest, there is no doubt that this guy must have hated himself to the core, judging from what Acrea just said, Clifford at least led the trial of Alonso, which means that Alonso was brought down by Clifford at the level of the temple. If it was Clifford, then it would be too normal for him to hug the big rabbit and hack himself by the way. The high priest's resentment towards himself Cecil was entirely conceivable. The current high priest was obviously appointed by him, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a puppet. It's not a matter of minutes to clean yourself up.

And secondly, what about the king? The king had every reason to do it himself, and since the peace with the orc kingdom, the king began to implement the system of acting officials in the territories that were originally divided. The 10 barony domains divided into the province of Samarra became a problem for the kingdom. In order to get the support of the king, the second prince quickly implemented the agency system in the territories of the two barony lords who relied on him, but the other eight barony domains are still resisting the king's will, especially their own territories, because of their own gold coin investment and talent introduction and policies, they are more prosperous, and may even become the commercial center of Samara Province, directly competing with the king's direct territories, which makes the king intolerable anyway.

Thinking that he was offending the temple and the king at the same time, Cecil didn't realize it, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead when he thought of this, he originally wanted to rely on the Dawn Temple of the Soloran Kingdom to resist the pressure on the Clifford Archpriest, but he didn't expect the big tree to fall down like this. Now that the confluence of the temple and the kingdom is putting pressure on him, he is really dead.

Sure enough, the archpriest of Acrea did not accept his defense in the slightest: "Baron Cecil, the evidence of your collusion with Alonso is very conclusive, we have enough evidence to prove that both of you have a great relationship with the Blasphemy Sect, and Alonso's number one lackey Collins is also your teacher, and you have a very close relationship with the necromancer Sandru of the Blasphemy Sect, everything proves that you have completely betrayed the God of Dawn and the kingdom, and sided with the Blasphemy Sect, what else do you have to explain?" ā€œ

Cecil laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, his homework was not bad, it is a fact that the Grand Priest Alonso and the blasphemous sect are not clear, and it is also a fact that he has been on missions with Sandru many times, and his mentor is now beaten as Alonso's lackey, which is not surprising, the mentor was killed by Clifford and the whole family, all protected by Alonso, Alonso falls, and the mentor will inevitably be defeated, I just don't know whether the teacher is dead or alive, but don't do anything.

"Things are not what you imagined, when I cooperated with Sandru, I didn't know that he was a member of the Blasphemy Sect, and we both took what we wanted, and I didn't do anything to be sorry for the interests of the temple and the kingdom." Cecil hurriedly explained.

This explanation is true, but it is not very strong, in fact, Cecil absolutely believes that Clifford has a better friendship with those necromancers and the Blasphemous Sect than he is with Alonso, and in fact, the Devil's Gate is the idea of the Blasphemous Sect to him. In fact, for the sake of survival and interests, it is an unspoken rule that everyone knows that the light camp and the dark camp have a certain degree of cooperation, but this kind of thing cannot be talked about on the table, and it is unreasonable to talk about it on the table.

This matter is to see who has the right to speak, and now it is the other party who has the right to speak, and the other party has the right to bring these so-called sins of yours to the table and say it, leaving you speechless. Cecil is now in this disadvantageous situation, the other party is standing in a high position, catching your shortcomings, and justifiably suppressing you, you really have no way at all.

"Baron Cecil, it is enough for you to admit your collusion with the blasphemy sect, as for saying that you have not done anything sorry for the temple and the kingdom, what a great harm the blasphemy sect has caused to us humans for thousands of years, their disrespect for the gods has made the gods very dissatisfied, and your cooperation with them and let them get benefits is in itself the greatest blasphemy against the interests of the kingdom and the interests of the temple." Akeria said in a heartfelt voice.

This is very reasonable, even Cecil thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, it seems that at this point he has said that what he has said is useless, and the next step is likely to be to arrest him.

How do you know that Akya did not mean to arrest him, but gave himself the opportunity to make meritorious contributions: "However, both the great priest of the temple and the king of the kingdom are magnanimous people, although you have committed an absolutely unforgivable crime, they are still willing to give you a chance to reform your ways, it depends on whether you can seize this opportunity." ā€

Acria's words didn't make Cecil feel excited at all, Clifford Archpriest could give himself whatever conditions he could think of with his toes, and the king himself could roughly guess his own conditions, so he didn't have much confidence in this kind of leniency Cecil.

"The first thing is that Baron Cecil must agree to cut your domain, and you will hand over half of the estates in your territory as punishment for this matter, and you will also hand over Bone Tooth City. Secondly, the rest of your territory should be controlled by the king's deputy, and Baron Cecil only needs to be a free nobleman in the city of Ishara in peace, and live a leisurely and decent life every day, isn't it a good thing? Maybe you've been a blessing in disguise this time. At this, a smile appeared on Akerya's old face.

This condition did not surprise Cecil, who continued: "I accept this condition. "Cecil accepted it for two reasons, the first is that if he doesn't accept the kingdom, he will be wanted, and his territory will not be kept, and the second is that he believes that the words of the archpriest of Acrea have not yet been finished, he only put forward the conditions for the kingdom to pardon himself, but he has not yet put forward the conditions for the temple to pardon himself, and Cecil knows very well what the conditions of the temple are, and he knows more clearly that the conditions of the temple will never be acceptable, since the final negotiation will collapse, then Cecil simply agreed to the other party first, Look at how the other party is trying to see the dagger.
