The news network of the Marquis of Strave is much better than his son Claude, who is not good at using the resources of the Holy See! Claude had traveled to Emster City to discuss the "Eater of Souls", but no real information was found.

The Marquis of Streiff made a difference as soon as he made a move.

At the beginning of the year, he had partnered with several nobles in Emster City to calculate Liu Ci. But a poisoning incident not only did not defeat Liu Ci, but afterwards those nobles were attacked by "unknown people", and they didn't dare to take action against Liu Ci easily for a while.

Maybe the Rhine City was too far away, maybe Liu Ci had other plans for the Streff family, or maybe she didn't realize the role played by the Streff family in the poisoning incident...... In short, she did not use her strength to retaliate against the Marquis afterwards.

However, the Marquis was never at ease.

The black-haired girl who suddenly appeared in Rhine City with the rose totem, if the marquis was just vigilant at first, after Liu Ci left Amster City, and had his own armed forces in just one year, thinking of Liu Ci's decisiveness, the marquis began to look at Liu Ci with a cautious attitude.

The result of his assessment is that Liu Ci has too much potential and has malicious intentions towards the Straiff family, and must strangle her in the middle of her growth while she is still in her infancy.

Claude returned to the Rhine, and Bishop Edward Wren was taken away by the Holy See for investigation, leaving the Marquis with a sense of opportunity.

If you want to get rid of Liu Ci, he doesn't need to do it himself, does he? In the Bright Continent, whether it is the Magic Association, the Mercenary Guild, or even the three empires, they will all retreat when facing the behemoth of the Holy See...... The Marquis of Streiff never thought that he had any personal strength to be able to compete with the Holy See!

The document that the Marquis showed to Claude was all the suspicions in the Soul Eater matter, pointing to Liu Ci.

"Father, what do you mean......" Claude, the upright knight, frowned. He could understand every one of the documents, but he didn't understand what the investigation of Liu Ci could do to Bishop Edward.

The Marquis of Strave asked the maid who was waiting in the study to step down, and then said to Claude in a serious voice: "My child, there is intrigue everywhere, and the clergy within the Holy See are pure in faith and have their own selfish intentions. Someone used the Emster Eater event to attack Bishop Edward, and as long as we find the key people involved in the event, we can clear Bishop Edward's name. ”

Claude shook his head, "She's not friendly to the Stryffs, and she won't agree to testify on Bishop Edward's behalf." Besides, Mr. Edward has already been taken to the Holy Land, how could a person who has no connection agree to go to the Holy Land to Bishop Edward for the Holy Land......"

The Marquis smiled, "Claude, leave this matter to me." You can return to the diocese of Srmun with confidence, Bishop Edward is not here, and you should be busier. ”

When Claude returned to the Rhine, he was advised by his father, and in fact he felt that he had received no substantial help. Faced with his father's confident expression when he saw him off, Claude had a bad premonition in his heart.

The Marquis of Stref, a gentle and charming middle-aged nobleman, looked at the background of his son's horseback and agonized his son's simplicity and integrity.

Let Liu Ci go to the Holy Land Harbor to testify for Bishop Edward?

Liu Ci will definitely go to the Holy Land Port, but the reason is not to be a witness, and she will definitely not go there voluntarily.

Back in his study, the Marquis de Strave spread out his letter and wrote a letter in a very formal tone, in which he vouched for the reputation of the Stlev family and wanted to denounce a heretic who had been on the run for many years to the Holy See......

“…… Your Excellency the Bishop, her name is Rachel Lorenz, and the Lorenz family was secretly executed for treason eight years ago, but I think Your Excellency should know the truth about their execution. Such a heresy cannot continue to walk openly on the Continent of Light and frame another upright and selfless archbishop, His Excellency Edward Wren. I would like to swear by the reputation of the Streiff family, this person is Rachel Lorenz, who now lives in the city of Amster, under the pseudonym Liu Ci. ”

The Marquis waited for the letter to dry, sealed the letter with family lacquer, and sent him out of the Rhine City.

Along the way, there was a constant change of horses, and after a month's journey, the cavalry of the Straff family reached the city of Amster in just a few days.

With the family crest of the Stleiff family, the Marquis's private message was delivered to Archbishop Simpson Patton in the diocese of Amster.

After reading the Marquis's letter, Bishop Simpson did not immediately send a knight to arrest Liu Ci, but fell into memory.

Eight years ago, in the entire Bright Continent, in the places covered by the Holy See's forces, an operation called "Exorcism" was launched, and in this event involving all the regions outside the Mollock Mountains of the Bright Continent, it was not only the Lorentz family in Rhine City who were secretly executed.

Essentially, Bishop Simpson was very unapproving of the "exorcism" that had no cause and was a hasty action. But this is a decision made by the Holy See, and he can't change it as a cardinal, just like today, he doesn't believe the news that the mercenary girl is an orphan of the Lorenz family - although he doesn't like Liu Ci very much, but a person who escaped treason really wants to live as flamboyant as Liu Ci, isn't this insulting Simpson's IQ to be an archbishop?

But he still had to take the initiative to step forward and take on the role of mentally retarded in his own eyes.

It was not for nothing that the Marquis of Stlev jumped into the hands of the Rhine after the bad luck of the Lorenz family.

His letter of denunciation was not sent to the Holy Land, to the Holy Land, or to the Eurbury Holy See where the Rhine was located, or even to his son, who served in the diocese of Sirmont, because Bishop Simpson and Edward Wren had a very bad relationship with each other when they were serving together in a certain place more than ten years ago.

The discord between the two is almost well known in the Holy See. Especially in the previous years, Edward became the Archbishop of the Diocese of Selmont, and when he was transferred to the diocese of Amster, he was compared again, and even old grudges were revealed.

If he withheld the letter of accusation from the Marquis de Strave, some people in the Holy See would not believe that he was acting out of justice, and the letter was later disseminated by the Marquis de Strave himself, and everyone would think that he was out of revenge against Edward, so he did not submit the heresy of Liu Ci to the Holy Land.

Bishop Simpson put down the letter, his expression cold as ice.

He couldn't pretend he didn't know about the letter, but the Stleiffs, thinking that they had been involved in the Rhine's purge of the Lorentz family a few years earlier, would be able to calculate him...... He will definitely let the other party know what is the prestige of the cardinal of the Holy See!

Bishop Simpson did not make a statement, but asked the old priest Veblen to be invited.

The old man soon came.

Simpson had always had a fair respect for the old priest who had served for many years and was older than him. He invited the Veblen priest to sit down and told the old priest directly the contents of the letter.

As he expected, Veblen saw the same view as the bishop himself.

"She's from the Lorenz family? No way! ”

Who can be stupid like this, under the charge of treason, and still be able to make waves in Emster without changing his appearance. In his opinion, Liu Ci is very bold, but he is definitely not a fool to be recognized by Weiyi.

Bishop Simpson sighed: "Now the discussion is not whether she is a remnant of the Lorentz family, but Bishop Edward Wren...... Not to mention within the Holy See, even people with a little status know that we are not compatible. No matter what I do with this report, it is easy for others to question it, so I intend to leave this matter to you, what does the priest think? ”

Priest Veblen hesitated, "Your Excellency, you should know that my goddaughter is close to the object of the accusation, and it seems that I cannot participate in this matter. ”

Simpson shook his head: "Priest Veblen, I believe that no one in the entire diocese of Amster, including in the Holy Land, will question your faith in God and your loyalty to the Holy See. I entrust this matter to you, not to escape trouble, but not to want an innocent girl to be drawn into an internal conflict within the Holy See because of a personal vendetta with the nobility. ”

The old priest was solemn: "Yes, Your Excellency. As you wish, I will certainly deal with this matter impartially, so that no one with ulterior motives will have the opportunity to question the parish of Amster. ”

Not only is it pleasant to talk to an old priest who is not stupid and has a special credibility within the Holy See, but Bishop Simpson also feels genuinely relaxed.

Both the bishop and the priests agreed on the matter of the report. No third party knew about the conversation between the two for the time being, and Emster, who had just experienced the Ordolun Peak incident, ushered in a brief calm.

The Marquis de Strave's letter of accusation was like a stone in the sea, and it did not get the immediate effect of his imagination.

And secretly, the old priest Veblen was not only dealing with this matter, but for some reason, he even took the initiative to reveal this matter to his goddaughter Weiyi.

Of course, Weiyi couldn't immediately inform Liu Ci.

But as soon as the news enters the ears of a third person, it means that secrecy is a joke. Soon, Lady Betty, the most well-informed in town, knew the idea.

Thinking of Liu Ci's generosity, Mrs. Betty still asked someone to send a letter to Liu Ci after some expediency.

The letter states that her old enemy, the Marquis de Strave of the Rhine, sent a letter of accusation against her, to Mr. Simpson, Archbishop of Amster.

Madame Betty kindly reminded that if Liu Ci had the handle to fall into the hands of the Marquis of Strave, she hoped that she would deal with it as soon as possible and prove her innocence.

Otherwise, she will soon see what the most powerful force on the mainland is, the Holy See.

In the valley manor, Liu Ci crumpled up Mrs. Betty's letter and lit it on a candle flame to burn it.

The flickering candlelight made Liu Ci's side face look a little hideous.

She felt that her mouth must not be sharp enough, and the Marquis of Strave did not hide and pretend to be a dead dog, but actually took the initiative to provoke her again. It seems that the grievances between the two must come to a battle between you and me this time, and only one person can survive!
