Chapter 222: Responding Positively
As soon as it was dark, Chrissy departed, as quietly as she had arrived, and no one in the parish office of Amster noticed anything unusual.
Subsequently, Liu Ci asked Samman to prepare a big meal.
After eating the barbecue, bread, fresh milk, and fruits prepared by Sangman, Liu Ci walked out of the room and took the initiative to visit the old priest Veblen.
Liu Ci locked himself in his room and stayed at home for several days, and the old priest had obviously heard about it, and seeing that Liu Ci had become energetic again, a trace of relief flashed in the old man's eyes.
People's emotions are always mutual, although at the beginning they were asked by their goddaughter to take care of Liu Ci, but all the way along, Liu Ci had sincere respect for him, and Veblen really looked at Liu Ci differently at this time.
He regarded Liu Ci as a closer junior, and naturally did not like to see anxiety in the eyes of young people. So seeing that Liu Ci had regained his vitality, the old man was also very happy:
"I asked the priest Moses, and the danger of you being forced to come to the Holy Land Harbor has been solved with the imprisonment of Edward Wren. That Mr. Marquis, who reported you by his real name, is now also facing a situation where he will be investigated in-depth by the priest of Moses. Priestess Bertha wanted to take the credit for destroying the Eater of Souls on her own, but the priestess of Moses thought that she was being confused by the power for a while, and suggested that she temporarily suspend her as priest and stay in the Holy Port for a period of time. ”
Liu Ci listened to the old priest's words, and repeatedly expressed the other party's concern, before he said earnestly: "Speaking of the Holy Land Port Monastery...... As you know, my sister is studying in a convent, and Emster is so far away from the Holy Land that we may not be going back one day, and I haven't seen Rachel in the Holy Land this time, and I don't know what year it will be when we see you next time...... So can you help me apply to the priest Moses? Just meet Rachel, even if it's just for an hour! ”
Chrissy repeatedly assured that her plan would not implicate the Veblen priest, but to take advantage of the upright old man in front of him, Liu Ci was still a little weak-minded.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her head and put her eyes on her toes, as if the little sheepskin boots sewn by Samman had changed into new patterns in a short time.
Veblen Priest thought about Liu Ci's performance to the left. He himself is a person who attaches great importance to feelings, so the pleading of his goddaughter Weiyi will be taken to heart by him. In his opinion, Liu Ci is sad precisely because she values her relationship with her sister. A person who values family affection is likely to be a bad person, and Priest Veblen is still willing to help with such a favor.
However, he would not go to the priest Moses.
"I'll try to answer you again."
After decades of friendship, Charles is not a person who does not value friendship at all, Veblen thinks that Charles is very likely to agree to be accommodating, but before the matter is implemented, he does not want to pack the ticket in front of Liu Ci.
Liu Ci thanked again and again before leaving Veblen's room.
Coincidentally, at the corner of the stairs she saw Monsieur Marquis returning from outside.
It was already dark, the people of the Holy Land were asleep at night, the streets were long gone, and the Marquis, whose shoulders were stained with night dew, did not know where he had gone, and hurried back before curfew.
Seeing Liu Ci, the marquis's expression was embarrassed for a moment, and soon turned into monstrous hatred.
Liu Ci threw a disdainful smile to the other party, and seeing that the marquis still wanted to step forward and struggle to the death and be arrogant, she made a knife with her hand and made a slashing and killing action, successfully stopping the marquis's footsteps.
This annoying hypocritical aristocrat forced Am Ster, who allowed himself to be free from the calm and free, into the turbulent undercurrent of the Holy Land Port, and Liu Ci was not ready to let him go for a long time...... The winner is king, the loser is the coward, and if Mr. Marquis wants to blame, blame Bishop Edward for not being able to resist the power of the path of judgment, and now he is in a period of loss of power that has no time to take care of himself!
Of course, Liu Ci couldn't kill the Marquis in the Holy Land Port City in full view of everyone, but she believed that the other party had already felt her determination to kill him.
Seeing Liu Ci's footsteps briskly back to his room, Marquis Strave stood in place and restrained himself for a long time before suppressing his urge to rush up and kill the other party.
Ah, that hateful orphan daughter of the Lorenz family, she actually walked in the Holy Land Harbor without any heart! Do you think you can deceive me by deceiving the eyes of the Holy See? The sworn feud between the Strelf family and the Lorenz family has long been dead...... The Marquis clenched his fists and strode back to his room.
The location of the marquis's room is not good, and there is almost no decoration inside, which is actually the daily routine that most clergy strictly demand, but the marquis, who has turned the horns, thinks that this is the office's contempt for him.
So he especially hated the Pastor Lambert, who was in charge of receiving the group, the young clergyman, who was as humble as a dog in front of the high priest, but in front of him he was so proud that he looked up with pride, as if he could only look at people with his nostrils!
The Marquis was now in a state of rage that no one was happy with, and it wasn't once or twice that the Reverend Lambert was lying down. But when he calmed down from his manic mood, the spiritual energy that supported him seemed to be sucked away in an instant.
The Marquis sat down at his desk.
Outside the window is the Holy Land Port lit up at night, this is the power center of the mainland, a marquis, placed in this Holy Land Port, it is really as inconspicuous as a grain of rice.
Thinking of the news that he had spent countless gold coins to inquire about in the past few days, a sense of powerlessness hit his heart. The Marquis thought for a moment, took out the letter paper from the drawer, the quill was dipped in thick ink, and began to write to his only son, Claude:
"It is with great sorrow that I am compelled to tell you the sad news that your esteemed Bishop Edward has been found guilty of being framed by your former fiancée...... Speaking of which, I must solemnly state that this girl named Liu Ci is none other than the only survivor of the Lorenz family a few years ago, your fiancée, Rachel Lorenz.
She seems to firmly believe that what happened to the Lorenz family is inseparable from the Stlev family, so when she returns, she will take cruel revenge on us.
Claude, I know that even you have doubts about your father's actions, so you have been reluctant to stay in Striff Manor for several years, and even if you were selected for the Knights of Light, you applied to go to the diocese of Srmont, far from the Rhine.
Rachel's revenge is ferocious, kid, and I want you to be prepared to face a great enemy.
She is like a demon from the abyss, and all the good qualities you know have disappeared from her, and if I can return from the Holy Land Port alive, I will naturally tell you in detail why the Lorenz family was found guilty of treason. If you receive the news of my death, child, please don't be too sad, there will be no cowards and cowards in the Streif family, and although I am reluctant to face death, when the situation really deteriorates, I will face it with a calm heart.
If I die unfortunately, my child, please do not be presumptuous to avenge me. You're no match for Rachel, and the Streff family has a long way to go if they want to prosper even more. Therefore, we must cherish our lives and shoulder the responsibility of family prosperity!
When you are able, you will find that the long history of the Stlev family, our ancestors were strong and powerful, and there is no thorn in this world that can stop us from becoming stronger......"
With the determination to have a fight with Liu Ci, it seemed that the thick pages of letter paper could not finish what he wanted to say to Claude. The Marquis also had a faint regret at this time, Claude's quality was that he could be recognized by the Knights of Light and rely on him to go higher and further in the Holy See, but ...... It would be nice if I could be a little more flexible!
The Marquis sealed the envelope with red lacquer and handed it to the private soldiers who had accompanied him to the Holy Land. Although the Holy See's mailing channel is safe and stable, it can be his identity, but it does not speed up the speed of the letter on the road. Only by handing over to his own personal cavalry, without regard for horses, could the letter be delivered to the diocese of Srmont in a short time.
Putting down the quill pen, the Marquis couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, his brow seemed to have a few more wrinkles in the short time he had been in the Holy Land Harbor, which also showed the pressure he was under.
In any case, Liu Ci must be confirmed to be Rachel Lorenz in order to grasp the other party's shortcomings.
Although the other party is well hidden, the Marquis is well aware of her strange scrolls and swordsmanship, and she is a very difficult enemy to deal with...... Unless, he can harness the power of the Holy See as he had planned at the beginning!
…………
Liu Ci naturally didn't know about his threat, and actually forced the Marquis of Stlev to the point of writing his last words. Even if she knew, she probably didn't care too much.
Killing the Marquis was an idea she had already made, but before that, the most important thing was to protect her own life.
After waiting anxiously for two days, Priest Veblen asked someone to inform her, Liu Ci went to the old priest's room with anticipation, and as soon as the old man met, he handed Liu Ci a nameplate made of metal.
"With the nameplate, you will be able to enter the Holy Port Monastery, but you have to hurry, when the light on the sign becomes dim, you must leave the abbey immediately, otherwise you will be arrested as a heretic invader, and even the councilor of the abbey Charles will not be able to speak for you!"
Veblen priest motioned for Liu Ci to put her finger into the groove of the nameplate, and the sharp little protrusions immediately pierced her fingertips.
Liu Ci took the nameplate in his hand, forged it with an unknown metal, and there were countless lines engraved on the surface, and when he touched her blood, the lines on the surface of the nameplate immediately lit up, and soon, the entire surface was covered with a stable metal aperture.
Since it was triggered by blood, it was clear that as Veblen had said, it was a pass that could only be used by her alone.
Thinking that he still had the obsidian disguised by Chrissycho around his neck, Liu Ci had a complicated mood. Soon, she put aside her senseless emotions and a grateful smile welled up on her face:
"Thank you and Priest Moses for your help, I don't know how to thank you enough......"
Veblen wanted to speak and stopped, he did not look for the priest of Moses, worried that Liu Ci went to the priest of Moses to thank him and put Charles in a dilemma, he had to clarify:
"No, this matter is the help of the councillor Charles of the abbey, he is my old friend, if you want to thank you and enter the abbey, go and visit this old friend for me!"
