When Chrissy was racking her brains to infiltrate the Holy Land Harbor Monastery, Liu Ci also received a notice from Veblen Priest: she had come to the Diocese of the Holy Land because of a letter of accusation from the Marquis of Strelf, and now the Holy See had finally summoned her as a "witness".

The Marquis did not know what had happened, and the Holy See now turned a blind eye to the fact that Liu Ci was in fact an orphan of the Lorentz family, the most important part of his report, and allowed him to jump up and down, and did not see Liu Ci taken into custody.

This result was very unacceptable to Monsier Marquise, and he was in a state of irritability for a long time. The hardest thing is that in such a depressed mood, the marquis still has to socialize freely in the Holy Land Port, maintaining the elegant demeanor of the aristocracy - he feels that he returns with a tense spirit of flattery outside every day, and when he sees Liu Ci's flower-like smile again, the whole person is really depressed.

The Marquis was not so personable.

Liu Ci met him and noticed the wrinkles at the corners of the heartthrob's eyes at a glance. She did not hide her surprise, looked at the Marquis with a smile, and got into the carriage with great pleasure.

The carriage was arranged by Reverend Lambert to carry Liu Ci and the others to Bishop Edward's temporary confinement. The priest of Moses only summoned three parties, Liu Ci, Veblen, the Marquis, and even the priest Lambert was only a guide, and Liu Ci naturally could not take Sangman with him.

Sitting in the same carriage as the Marquis of Strave, the interior space was not particularly spacious, and the Marquis sat face to face with her, which made Liu Ci lose the interest in talking, and she simply turned her head to the side to enjoy the street scene in the center of the Holy Port.

Priest Veblen naturally closed his eyes and rested, except for the Marquis of Strave, who was slightly restless. The Marquis has not been without gains in the past few days, and no matter how deeply Bishop Edward is involved in the Dark Creatures incident, he will probably not be able to return to the Diocese of Sirmont as Archbishop.

If Bishop Edward had been more affected, his clergy would have come to an end, and the Pope would not have allowed him to leave the Holy Land for the rest of his life, even if he had not been charged with "heresy". This meant that the investment that the Streiff family had been making for many years had failed...... How will Liu Ci testify? Will it be because of the whistleblower letter that Bishop Edward will simply be dragged into the whirlpool of dark creatures and unable to get out?

The more the Marquis pondered, the more he felt that he had done something very unwise. He wrote a letter of accusation, originally intending to take advantage of Bishop Edward's investigation to implicate Liu Ci, and when the Holy See found out that she had a relationship with the Lorentz family, her testimony would become insignificant, and the Marquis would easily solve his great enemy.

However, upon arriving at the Holy Land Port, everything went off the orbit that the Marquis had envisioned.

The Holy See turned a blind eye to the relationship between Liu Ci and the Lorentz family, and instead solemnly allowed Liu Ci to play his role as a witness, not only did not achieve his original purpose, but the object of the Strelf family's support for many years may be dragged into the water by Liu Ci...... In the carriage, the Marquis suffered from gains and losses, and the only thing he was glad about now was that his dealings with Bishop Edward had been very low-key, and even his only son Claude did not know, let alone Liu Ci.

Therefore, now I must ensure that the relationship with Bishop Edward is not seen by Liu Ci, right?

In the marquis's unusually troubled mood, the carriage stopped in front of a certain building.

This is an ordinary small building hidden in the center of the Holy Land Port, among the high-rise buildings. The whole white building, except for the black stone masonry at the eaves, really can't see that it is different from the surrounding environment.

Liu Ci got out of the car after Priest Veblen, and the young priest went first, knocking softly at the door. The door did not open immediately, and after a while a square window was opened, and a hand reached out, and Lambert hurriedly handed over several papers in his hand.

The parchment can not only prove the identities of Liu Ci and the others, but also the reason why they came here, even if Veblen is a priest of light, he really has no privileges in the diocese of the Holy Land Port.

The old priest didn't care, he just quietly looked at this building hidden in the central area of the Holy Land Port, with an ordinary appearance and a heavily guarded building, Liu Ci couldn't guess what the old man was thinking under his calm expression.

After a while, Lambert's proof was confirmed, and the heavy wooden door was opened from the inside, with a passage only two people wide. Only Liu Ci and the three were allowed to enter, and Pastor Lambert could only wait outside.

Veblen Priest was in front, Liu Ci was second, and Mr. Marquis was close behind. The three of them walked into the half-open door, and just as they stood still, the door behind them was closed with a "creak".

Liu Ci caught a glimpse of the corner of his eye, there was a white light flashing between the opening and closing of the wooden door, don't look at this is just a wooden door, the magic array on it makes it have the function of being no less than a thick city wall.

Leading the way for the trio was a monk dressed in black.

He was about the same age as the Veblen priest, but he didn't have the compassion that Liu Ci had seen of clergy, and he raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Ci gently, which made her feel like she had been cut by a knife.

A feeling of nausea and dizziness that made me want to vomit hit, and after a while, Liu Ci realized that he had been attacked by mental power!

Liu Ci was very unhappy in his heart, and his face immediately darkened.

Priest Veblen also noticed the movement of the black-clothed monk, and the old priest raised his left hand and made a reassuring gesture: "The ascetic monk never has contact with the outside world, he wants to probe your situation, but he does not know the social etiquette of ordinary people, may God forgive him for his rudeness and recklessness." ”

The old priest explained like this, and Liu Ci couldn't say anything more.

Her face was slightly pale, so that the Marquis of Stleiff could not help but gloat. And the black-clothed monk who walked in front also turned a deaf ear to Veblen's explanations and evaluations.

The windows are scarce throughout the building, and the light openings are very small, and the glass, although not clean, is not enough to illuminate the rooms within the thick stone walls. From time to time, other black-clothed monks walked through, no one talked, and they were probably not good at greeting people, the monks were very indifferent to each other, and after the gate was closed, the feeling left to Liu Ci was only depressed.

It was in this atmosphere that Liu Ci met the priest of Moses, with whom she had spoken.

It was not a particularly bright room, let alone a luxurious one. The black curtains were carefully rolled up with ropes, and a boxy table, two wooden chairs, one of which sat on a modest man who looked slightly younger than the priest of Moses, and talked with the priest Moses.

The priest of Moses wore the robes of the priests of light who were extremely elaborate in their clothing and style, and although they were of the same style, Liu Ci dared to swear by his family reputation that his clothes would definitely be better and more expensive than those worn by the priests of Veblen of the same level on the surface.

The priest of Moses wore a top hat, a holy vessel on his chest, and a parchment book with a red spine on a black background, and exuded the coercion of the authorities. This kind of momentum has nothing to do with the character of the heart, but a person is naturally formed by the position of the environment, there is no noble son in the poor family, and after being in a high position for a long time, the temperament of the whole person will change dramatically.

The priest of Moses had this temperament.

But in the same room, the well-dressed priest of Moses was on the side of the suppressed momentum in front of another plainly dressed man. At least the first thing Liu Ci noticed after entering the house was the other party, and then he saw the priest Moses.

At first glance, this man seems to be younger than Veblen and Moses, but if you look closely, you will find that although he is dressed plainly and in such a depressing environment, he looks in good spirits.

There was no crown, no fine clothes, and the environment was shabby and oppressive compared to the treatment he had received before, but not only was the other party calm, but the priest Moses was in the room, and compared to him, it was like a guest.

Wherever a man is, he can dominate...... It's an invisible control.

This man must be a legend of the Holy See, Edward Wren!

Liu Ci thought of the other party's experience of learning magic first, then switching to theology, and then serving as the archbishop of the Holy See, he was indeed a successful man with a very protagonist model. If this man hadn't brutally killed his lover because he was learning black magic, Liu Ci might have admired him very much.

Of course, now that Bishop Edward is only "suspected", and the Holy See has not yet convicted him, Liu Ci is in vain even if he scolds a hundred times in his heart. However, this time, she will definitely follow the will of the God of Light, and she will not deceive when she testifies, and be a devout believer before God.

"You're here."

The three of them had already entered the door for a while, and the first person to greet them was not Priest Moses, but Edward Wren, who was no longer bishop of Sirmont.

He stood up unhurriedly, greeted the three men, and before the priest of Moses could react, he added, "The room is too narrow to accommodate so many people, please forgive me for being rude." ”

The corners of Moses' lips twitched, a micro-expression peculiar to him when he was in a displeased. How many times have I talked to Edward, and before I knew it, the topic and atmosphere were dragged away by the other party, which made the priest of Moses very frustrated.

No, Edward took the initiative again, and the priest of Moses had to stand up and say, "It's really inconvenient to talk here, come with me." ”

He took the three of them and went to another room. In the process, Edward Wren sat down comfortably. He obviously knew the origin of Liu Ci and the others, but he did not show the slightest worry.

The kind of openness that emanates from the bones makes Liu Ci can't help but want to worship the other party's acting skills. If she hadn't spoken to Jenny, looking at Edward Wren's face, she wouldn't have been able to connect him to a brutal murderer. With this frank and upright, it is really a blasphemy to suspect him of learning dark magic.

Rao had always believed in Jenny's words before, and now she had a suspicion, maybe someone at the Amster School of Magic used Edward Wren's name to act in the past?!

Liu Ci thought all the way, her first impression of Edward, even in a preconceived situation, was not far off.

After following Priest Moses to another place similar to an office, and seeing the people who were already waiting in it, Liu Ci's heart also jumped slightly.

She suddenly realized that she had come thousands of miles to the Holy Land Port to be a witness, did she come to go through the motions?!

- The cold woman is none other than Bertha Verling, who has not been seen for a long time, and is another "party" in the Eater of Souls incident.
