Alyssa asked, "Priest?" What should I do? ”

Bochi took her thin, branch-like body, embraced her in his fat arms, and said, "Just pray, and enjoy the pleasure I bring you." I promise, you'll be hooked on it. ”

He lifted her skirt to reveal one of the arteries of her thighs, and opened her mouth, her teeth white, a sight that was dark and terrifying, and as seductive as a rose blooming by the gutter.

Michael shouted, "Stop! Pig! He leaped out of the shadows in a rage and snatched Alyssa away from Galle.

Bo Chi's expression was full of anger, but in the next second, he showed a rather restrained demeanor and said, "Why didn't the consul come uninvited?" ”

Michael said, "Don't I have that right?" ”

"Of course, I just want to have some privacy," he laughs. ”

"Your right to privacy doesn't explain why you've committed such a beastly crime!" said Michael. ”

Bochi frowned: "The crime of being inferior to a beast? What do you mean by that? "He noticed that I was standing next to Michael, so he took a step back and rang the bell.

Michael shouted, "You have imprisoned these innocent mortals, raised them like slaves, even like poultry!" You deprive them of their freedom, manipulate their reproduction, and eat them like pigs, cows, chickens, and sheep! ”

Bochi thought for a moment, bowed to me, and said, "Marquis Longinus, you are here too." ”

He did not bow to Michael, but he saluted me, which was clearly intended to provoke conflict between us. I said, "You impudent man, salute the consul, or I will cut off ten pounds of fat from you!" ”

Bochi then bowed to Michael and said, "Michael, please allow me to call you so affectionately, after all, you were my junior." Suffice it to say that you investigated me thoroughly, but I wasn't wrong in doing so? ”

Michael said, "Nothing wrong? Shameless scumbag! You deprive others of their liberty, destroy their bodies and minds, manipulate and enslave children, and kill innocent ....."

"My lord," said Bochi, "from the perspective of mortals, perhaps they are not allowed to do this. But we are the Blood, and I am the Duke of the Bloodline, manipulating the souls of men, sucking their blood, and even harming the bodies of children, isn't it reasonable for us? ”

Michael was furious and said, "You will dispose of those mortals with impure blood, this is murder, involving dozens, if not hundreds!" ”

Bochi's face trembled, and he responded, "This... What nonsense! Where is the evidence? ”

Michael said: "You still want to deny the food in the canteen that you raised and raised, and they were all killed by you?" ”

Michael and I both knew of what had happened in this mansion, but it wasn't a great crime for the Bloods, especially the Bloods, and for the Elders of the Bloods, only the charge of massacre could punish Bochi. However, if Boxhop turns out to be a meticulous guy, where do we go to find evidence?

Sure enough, Bochi shouted, "I just stopped taking them in and sent them to the lower floors, even to the Black Coffin Town." Why should I kill them? I raised them single-handedly. ”

Michael had to change direction immediately so as not to fall into passivity, saying, "You have enslaved so many mortals without my permission, and made them live without seeing the light of day and without any freedom!" I find you guilty, Boch! I'll strip you of your title, plus a heavy fine! ”

Bochi clenched his iron fist, bared his fangs, and said, "Which decree did I violate?" First, I obey the rules of the masquerade, and the things here are never known to outsiders. Second, drinking the blood of mortals is the prerogative of our blood clan in the Black Coffin, and if this is a sin, why don't we just sit in the sun?

Thirdly, I have never created a single Bloodline here, and I do not allow the birth of children at will, as you do, the Archon! Fourth, as a duke, can't I have a large number of servants and subordinates? I have spent a lot of money and energy to feed so many human beings who should have died in the catastrophe, in the last days, is it not a kind of compassion? ”

He pointed to the little girl and said, "Everyone I have eaten here, they are willing, how can there ever be persecution?" ”

I said, "Even if you do what you say, you make them weak and weak, and then send them out to the outside world, you send them to death." ”

Bochi: "I'll leave them, and you'll say I'm enslaved and imprisoned." I send them, and you will say that I have put them to death. How can this be done? ”

He was an eloquent priest, full of cunning and sophistry, and it was futile for Michael and I to argue with him.

Michael said, "If you refuse to accept the punishment, I will punish you for disobedience, and the Marquis of Longinus will turn you to ashes with his own hands!" ”

Actually, I couldn't do it at all, and if it got to that point, I could only persuade Michael to stop.

Bochi gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "I ask for a trial by the Council of Elders!" ”

Michael said, "What? ”

"Even the Marquis of Longinus, who was of humble stature at the beginning, was tried by six elders and escaped the death penalty. And thy son Sosa, the son of Legang Narlei, also escaped by judgment. I am a duke, an elder, one of the highest rights of the black coffin, and I have the right to ask for a public trial! You have no right to lynch me! I at least have a chance to defend myself! ”

I heard Laca say in my head, "Bochi has recorded the conversation here, and the people outside have heard it, and the rest of the elders will probably know it soon." ”

I said to Michael, "It is not advisable to execute him privately, or the rest of the elders will be dissatisfied." ”

Michael pointed to Bochi and said hatefully: "The first decree after I came to power was to ask the blood clan and nobles to love the commoners and treat them as equals, how can I tolerate this person who openly disobeys and treats my orders as child's play?" ”

It is undeniable that from the standpoint of the blood clan, his decree is not feasible at all. Bloodlines and humans will never be equal, nor will nobles and commoners.

I said, "So we have to go through the House of Elders to condemn him and give him a heavy punishment, and Legang and Tiphon will definitely support us, three against three, you are the consul, you have great power, and we have won." ”

Michael's breathing gradually stabilized, and he said, "Okay, for the time being, tomorrow night is the time for the public trial, Bochi, I will never spare you." ”

Bochi glared at Michael with hatred and said, "I'm not going to sit still, kid." ”

It seemed like it was going to be dawn, and the time had come for the Bloods to sleep, and I disappeared with Michael and returned to his palace. On the way, Michael said, "Longey, while I sleep, you inform the six elders for me, and tomorrow morning, in the elders' council, all the blood and nobles need to come and listen." ”

I smiled wryly, "They can't wait to see a good show." ”

Michael had tears in his eyes and trembling with anger, and he said, "Box, what did he do with humans?" We are human beings, we are blessed by human beings to survive, and what he has done is to push humanity into our opposite. He is an obstacle to my ideals, and if he refuses to change, I must remove him! ”

I've heard Michael talk about his vision of the Black Coffin as an empire where mortals and Bloods live in peace, and mortals willingly let the Bloodlines suck their blood, and the Bloodlines act as loving gods and guardians. He was a naïve man, as he always was, and in the past, the Bloodlines here had regarded him as a pet and ornament in Missouri. He collected antiques, founded museums, improved people's livelihoods, strengthened education, and was regarded by the blood clan as an unrealistic visionary.

It must be admitted that Michael is not young, but he is pampered and has never suffered much in his life, like a stupid son of a landlord's family. But after getting to know him better, I feel that he is different, which makes people feel that they naturally want to trust and follow. Legang is right, Michael is the most suitable person for the Black Coffin ruler.

Looking at Michael, I always think of the last Holy Son, the martyr who died at the hands of Longinus, a.... The messenger of pure goodness, a spokesman of heaven. But this time is different from the last time, I will protect Michael, protect his rare and precious kindness, just as I protect the fire of mankind in the last days.

I said, "Bochi is dead, and he knows he is dead." You have the blessing of Remor, and even if he escapes this time, we have a way to make him disappear mysteriously. ”

Michael smiled wryly, "Then you might as well go to him now." ”

I excused myself and said, "Now that the judgment has been decided, we can only wait patiently." ”

....

After dusk the next day, the news spread quickly, and the entire black coffin high-level was in an uproar, the middle-level gossip was flying all over the sky, and the nobles of the aristocratic layer were rushing to each other's doors and exchanging voices, they all knew that Bochi had angered the consuls, but no one knew why, and they didn't know if Bochi would really fall.

If he falls, there will be a huge vacancy, and there will be great benefits. Bochi is the most important person in the church at the moment, he seems to believe in reformed Christianity, with a large number of believers, and if he were to attack Bochi, it will cause a huge stir in this church, and I eavesdropped on the blood families of the church, and they think that the Caunder is planning to purge it completely, and the crime committed by Bochi is just an excuse.

They were ready to move, and I told him to keep an eye on a few of them to prevent them from betraying.

Bochi's residence was surrounded by arbiters, and even if his ghouls tried to send his coffin away, it would be to no avail.

I entered the House of Elders, and Maxwell, the African Emperor-like Elder, politely walked beside me and said, "Two elders have fallen, is Bochi the third?" ”

I secretly complained that Michael's actions were easily seen by the other Bloods as a sign of his cleansing of the top, and if the elders of Maxwell and Tiphon thought so, Michael would be opposed.

I said, "Michael is a very simple person, you seniors can see through him at a glance, he is just thinking about humanity." ”

Maxwell sighed, "First, ideas like his have been repeated many times in history, and even the first empire in human history was built on this idea, and then what? It was destroyed. Second, the consul is simple, but not without skill, and I heard that Michael is cultivating his cronies, some blood clans of unknown origin, who belong to his own special forces. ”
