Chapter 567: Ophelina's Confession
Listening to the words of the old man Sabo, Cecil was like a lightning strike, and the thoughts that had always existed in his mind but did not dare to confirm turned out to be real! Cecil's hands were trembling at the time, he was really drugged, and his opponent was extremely accurate! Knowing that he is invincible to all poisons, no poison has any effect on him, and he actually put something like spring grass on himself to make himself unprepared. It's despicable!
But what Cecil doesn't understand is who wants to harm him, but he can be sure that his gaffe is definitely not without reason, Cecil went directly to the Temple of Life without thinking about it, since the Lost Spring Grass comes from the Temple of Life, then the Temple of Life must have a record of the use of the Lost Spring Grass, even if the Temple of Life is turned upside down, Cecil will find out the truth of the matter.
Unlike the Temple of Dawn, which is located on the city's busiest street, the Temple of Life, located in the southeast corner of the city, is not overly lavishly decorated, but has large fields that have received the blessing of the goddess of life and provide food for the city of Isalla every year. If the belief in the gods of the Temple of Dawn, the Temple of the Brave, and the Temple of War is the source of the strength of the human nation, then the Temple of Life is the foundation for the life and reproduction of the human nation. Although it is not as predominant as the Temple of Dawn, it is also highly respected.
The Temple of Life does not have a majestic building like the Temple of the Dawn to make people feel the unattainable height of the gods, but rather gives people a sense of reverence for nature through the temple-like ancient architecture. Cecil walked here quickly, and immediately went to find Lady Margaret, the archpriest of the Temple of Life. As he was approaching the Temple of Life, Cecil noticed that a man was pulling him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Ophelina.
Seeing Ophelina at this time, Cecildon had a feeling of empowerment, since King Rex ascended the throne, Princess Freya was almost under house arrest in the palace, and the first assistant to the Grand Priest of the Temple of Life became Ophelina. A few days ago, in the mansion of Count Cassikud, Cecil saw what Ophelina said that Cecil didn't understand, Cecil thought that Ophelina had something to think of, and it seemed that he had something to do with Ophelina. Cecil thought of this and pulled Ophelina's collar up, "You come and tell me, is what happened to me related to you?" Don't ask me what's going on with me, I don't believe you don't know. It was the first time Cecil had been so vocal about him since he had known Ophelina.
Ophelina was very calm: "You put me down before we can talk." ”
Seeing Ophelina like this, Cecil knew that what happened to him and what happened to the Misty Spring Grass must be inseparable from Ophelina, not only did he not let go of her, but directly smashed her viciously to the ground, and at the moment when Ophelina fell to the ground, his prophetic sword had already been pressed against Ophelina's head: "I have let you go, you better tell me everything by fifteen, my patience is very limited, be careful that I kill you!" By the time he said this, Cecil was already in a loud voice.
Ophelina was pointed at her head by a cold blade, but there was no fear on her face: "If I am afraid, why should I come out to talk to you?" Wouldn't it be better to directly let you go to the Temple of Life and fight to the death with the Great Priest? I already warned you the last time you came to my house, you can't blame me for not being aware of it yourself, it's blame that you don't have a basic understanding of the sinister human heart," Ophelina also put away her smile and said coldly to Cecil.
Ophelina's words almost made Cecil half angry, and now Cecil knows that Ophelina's words last time meant something, but who knew before? If this kind of thing hadn't happened, no one would have known about Ophelina's level of prompting, and it would be too optimistic to talk about it now.
"You'd better tell me honestly everything you know, otherwise I'm afraid you won't know how good your friend is!" Cecil shook the sword lightly, and a chill rose on Ophelina's body, and a cold breath blew up and down Ophelina's body with the blade of the sword.
Ophelina shuddered, but she didn't panic at all: "Okay, I said, in fact, I don't know much, and the Temple of Life doesn't have much to do with this matter. A few days ago, the king came to the Temple of Life to ask for the Lost Spring Grass, because the Lost Spring Grass is a precious resource of the Temple of Life, and the Temple will only produce a little bit every year, so the Grand Priest Margaret refused her, and the King quietly stole the Lost Spring Grass from the Temple through me, I really don't know what the king is going to do, as for the specific use, I only knew about it when something happened! Ophelina emphasized her innocence.
I see, no wonder Ophelina stopped herself outside the Temple of Life, it turned out that Ophelina had made a deal with King Rex without telling the high priest. He was afraid that he would go in and find the high priest to expose the collusion between Ophelina and the king and lose his position in the temple, thinking of this, Cecil was even more annoyed, and with a stretch of his finger, Ophelina was directly swept into the sky, and then fell to the ground.
Ophelina was thrown directly to the ground, and in pain, finally changed her face a little, realized that she might die, and looked at Cecil with a little hesitation for a while.
"Why, tell me why the king wants to hurt me so much? Am I not loyal enough to him? I have made a great contribution to him, he can take the throne because of me, he can win the Elok Empire thanks to me, without me, he would have been slaughtered like garbage by his father a long time ago! Is that how he reciprocates me? Cecil was almost already roaring, Anne's departure was a devastating blow to him, and he could no longer contain his anger after knowing that His Majesty was the culprit.
Ophelina listened to Cecil's almost roaring accusation, smiled miserably, and said, "Cecil, you are a wise man in vain, have you never heard of high merit and great kindness? What if I were the king when you helped His Majesty kill his father and help him defeat the Elok Empire, what if I were the king? Am I glad I got to such a powerful courtier? No, I won't be able to sleep, such a powerful courtier, what will I do if I rebel? ”
