Chapter 66: See You Tomorrow

"First of all, I'll give you an afternoon, whether you're willing to use it to arrange the aftermath or to verify the truth of the news, I don't care, whatever you want. In short, this afternoon is reserved for you, and early tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the Temple of Covenant and write a confession in the presence of the two gods of justice and covenant, confessing to your blasphemy. ”

"No way. Earl Sullivan clearly wanted to keep the initiative to a minimum, "Do you think I'm going to give you the weapon and put it around my neck?"

"Your Excellency, do you have any misunderstanding?" Shul raised an eyebrow and sneered, "You think I'm talking to you?" no, no, no, I'm just telling you, ordering you to do this, and all this is a punishment for your blasphemy, and if you want to blame, blame you for not knowing how to revere the gods. ”

It was another sentence that was exactly the same, and even the tone was imitated vividly, like a heavy punch, which hit Earl Sullivan in the face, making him look hideous, but he couldn't attack.

"Whether you do it or not, whether you discount it or not, it's not my concern, you decide for yourself, as long as you are mentally prepared to take responsibility for your actions. The Lord said, "If you do something, you will get something, and if you have a cause, you will have an effect, and the word of the Lord is the truth, praise the wise Lord, holy." Shur restored the peace and holiness of the clergy, "Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I will wait for you in the Temple of the Covenant for an hour, and you have not shown up before nine o'clock, then the rest of the time, you can arrange the aftermath, and the day after tomorrow, Lady Angela and I will join forces to accuse you of blasphemy." By the way, by the way, tomorrow I'll go to the Pact Temple with Lord Orana, and you can try to ambush me with your forces and see if you're lucky enough to take out a Legend and a Golden Priest. ”

Earl Sullivan's nose furrowed, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word.

"Don't worry, this is just the first step, after writing the confession, there is the next step, I suggest that Your Excellency the Earl have a good rest tonight and sleep well at night, otherwise, tomorrow will be a very busy day, I am worried that you will not have enough energy and will not be able to support it, hehehe. ”

"Thank you for your concern. Earl Sullivan's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.

"It is the duty of our apostles not to be polite, to obey the Lord's teachings, and not to forget to care for others at all times. Smiling and saying the cool words of the angry man, Xiu'er's face changed, and he sneered, "Seriously, there are people like you among mortals, I think it is superfluous for my lord to spend all his energy guarding it, but it's a pity...... Alas, God so loved the world, whether mortal men were respectful or not, the will of the Lord, that is, the will of our believers, praise the Merciful Lord, Holy. ”

"Praise be to the Lord (Lord of the Dark Moon). The two girls also offered their praises to the gods at the same time, and at the same time looked at His Excellency the Count with cold eyes.

"After you've written your confession and notarized it by the Contract Temple, you're ready to move on to the next step. Xiu'er said indifferently, "That's why I gave you time this afternoon, sort out your property, all your property, I want one-third, whether movable or immovable, all of them will be converted into copper coins, and give them to me before the water curtain festival begins, otherwise, you know the consequences." ”

"What?" This time not only Earl Sullivan, but also his two sons widened their eyes.

"Hearing badly or not understanding the lingua franca?" Shul sneered, "it shouldn't be such a surprise, this is what Saf deserves, I should have belonged to half of her mother's, but considering that you are going to be in the future, I still left you a little more, only a third." ”

Shul suddenly turned his head to look at Lisa and asked seriously, "Am I too kind?"

"Hmm. The girl nodded vigorously: "Brother is the most merciful." ”

It was Angela, who didn't say anything, but kept squinting at this guy who didn't have the slightest shame or anything.

"Your money, the Darkmoon Temple won't use a single copper plate, it all belongs to Saf, heh, she's always worried about the lack of funds. I told her a long time ago, don't worry, don't worry, the start-up capital is enough, and the funds for the implementation of the plan are easy to solve, but the stupid guy doesn't believe it and is still secretly anxious. Actually, I never lie, I have already helped her think of a way, you see, isn't the problem easily solved?"

"I can even tell her that you know that you are sorry for her all these years and have a heart of repentance, so you cry and beg me to donate this property to the Temple of Knowledge to fund her plan, maybe she will also name this money Sullivan Prize, so that you have fame, Saf has funds, everyone takes what they need, and the result is a win-win situation, you should be happy, oh, I know you are secretly happy in your heart. ”

Indeed, Earl Sullivan was now secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Shuer explained to him in such detail, and put forward these requirements, which can only show one thing, that is, from the beginning, he did not intend to really force himself to death, but only planned to profit from it, since this is much more reassuring, in the imperial court for so many years, His Excellency the Earl is not a person who has not experienced setbacks, although humiliated, but as long as he can live, there is still hope to get up again, and the current humiliation will be repaid when the time comes.

"You're right, I lied to you just now, from the beginning, I didn't plan to let you die, heh, of course I'm happy if you die, but if Safu is burdened with the psychological burden of killing his father because of this, I won't be so happy, after all, she is still very kind, unlike me who used to help ......" shook his head, throwing the memories of the previous power struggle out of consciousness, "If you look at you, you will know that you will change the topic, and I will also ignore the point." ”

Angela has decided to redefine this guy's shame, and it seems that people haven't said a word.

"Anyway, I'm glad to be happy, so let's laugh a little more now, because you're going to be out of laughter soon. Shuer said in a very flat tone, "The third thing, after the Water Curtain Festival, there will be a big project in the Empire, well, it is about the Emerald Light. When the time comes, I will take out all the twenty-one emitting sources of the Emerald Light, some of which I will hand over to others, and the other part will be transported to the Imperial Court for research, and you should be responsible for the escort of the equipment, I think you should have received the news from the palace yesterday. ”

Count Sullivan's face was expressionless, he didn't dare to have an expression anymore, lest Shure read his mind from his expression again, but he had indeed gotten this news, and the person in charge was indeed him, after all, although he was only the leader of the Black Feather Legion, he had the highest status among the three legion commanders, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a military leader.

"If it's you, that's going to be easy. Shul smiled and said, "Hehe, I'll tell you what to do when the time comes." ”

"You want me to give them to you?" the Count felt that he had read through Shure's thoughts.

"No, destroy them. ”

Just kidding, how could such a dangerous thing be left to Leon the Lionheart.

The day before yesterday, Shuer entrusted Solaen, and he came forward to negotiate with Leon, and the ones that might be reactivated were taken away by himself and handed over to the goddess to deal with, and the damaged ones were destroyed by Leon as soon as possible. As a result, Solon sent back the news, and the first one asked Leon to agree very happily, after all, he didn't know what it was, only that it was very dangerous, and it was better for Shure to take it away to avoid trouble. But the second request, he has always been perfunctory, it seems that he does not intend to destroy them, but is ready to relocate them and continue the glory of the emerald light.

Although what is left behind is damaged, but the damage to the eternal core is known from the last memory of that living form, whether it is really bad or not no one can say, once there is a bad one, in case of bad luck one day, and encounter the situation the day before yesterday again, there will be no protective clothing at that time, and there will be corpses all over the field. In this way, not only will Luna blame herself, but she will also feel guilty for her negligence.

So for the sake of safety, it is better to destroy it completely, of course this matter cannot be brought forward by the Dark Moon Temple itself, after all, it will offend the officials of the Jade Empire, and now that there is such a good candidate, how can it not be used?

"You ......" Earl Sullivan stood up abruptly, pointing at Shure speechless, his fingers trembling, "Do you know what will happen if you destroy them?"

"I know, King Lionheart will be very angry and want to kill you with a knife, but you can explain that for the sake of the people's lives and the reputation of the empire, he would rather go against the will of His Majesty the Emperor and completely solve the hidden danger, with this excuse, His Majesty Leon will not hold you accountable for a fait accompli, hehe, at least not in action. ”

"Do you know that my career is now complete?" Earl Sullivan's eyes widened, and he was angrier than at any other moment.

"I know, so I said, you won't be able to laugh. Shul smiled and said, "But what does your career have to do with me?"

"You ......"

"Power is a good thing, and sometimes losing power is more uncomfortable than killing people directly. "But if you lose your power, at least you can live, and you still have two-thirds of your possessions enough to live, so you have a chance to live, or do you want to choose blasphemy? I don't mind, really, which way of death do you prefer, I will satisfy you, guillotine, gallows, burn at the stake?" Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you are a high-class nobleman, you will not use these unseemly ways, according to the custom of the Emerald Empire, it should be to enjoy a final glass of wine in the arms of a beautiful woman, right, I think you will like the last way. ”

"I ...... I ......," Earl Sullivan's lips trembled, "and when I have done what you say, you will promise to return the confession to me?"

"What are you kidding, give it back to you to let you out of control, and then find a way to calculate me, do you think I'm an idiot? That confession witnessed by the gods, after you have done the last thing, I will dedicate it to my lord, oh, to make you worry for the rest of your life, as a punishment for your blasphemy against my lord. Shul leaned over and patted the Earl on the shoulder, "Think about it, Your Excellency the Lord, remember eight o'clock tomorrow." ”

"By the way, you don't need to send us, we know the way, Lord Earl is busy with official business, so I won't bother much, we'll see you tomorrow." ”

Amid the laughter, Shul led the two girls away, closing the door and isolating the three pale faces in the room.
