Edward knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry that we didn't succeed in rescuing Po, when we found these two, they were already dead. ”

Perseus slapped the armrest and said angrily, "I said that Po lives to see people, and dies to see corpses." I thought Po might have been killed, so you didn't get anyone back, and I don't blame you.

"But when I say that I want to see the corpse when I die, I want you to bring back Bao's corpse clearly, not to let you bring back two charred corpses whose identities are unrecognizable! How do I know who these two black carbon guys are? ”

"And Hu Shanrong, who used to be the head of the forbidden army sword art of the Far Eastern Dynasty, and he was also a master of the Great Interior, so he died? He died without touching a single photo??? What are you going to do?! ”

Edward recounted to Persius what he had said to Resakhar, and he made no mention of any possible suspicions or the conversation with Chino on the way back.

Pertheus was silent for a long time after hearing this, and smiled a little sarcastically: "So, this is the final result you gave me - Hu Shanrong escaped from the kingdom after a lot of hardships and tied up Ah Bao, and in the end, the ransom did not arrive, but he was robbed and killed... With this kind of rhetoric, how do you ask me to negotiate with the Far Eastern Dynasty? ”

Edward lowered his head and said silently, "Your Majesty, this matter is my incompetence, please punish me." ”

Perseus snorted coldly: "Punishment? Well said. You've been suspended a long time ago, how else can I punish you? Hmph, you governor don't want to continue to be a governor for a while, and when you have made a great contribution one day, you will come to discuss with me about reinstatement. ”

If Bao's affairs are dealt with, he will be reinstated, and if he is not dealt with, he will continue to be suspended, this is an agreed matter, and Edward does not have the slightest temper: "Everything obeys His Majesty's orders." ”

Perseus leaned back in his chair helplessly and sighed and held his forehead: "Let's do this first." A few of us know about Ah Bao for the time being, so we all keep our mouths tight, and don't let the news out, let me think carefully about how to deal with it. ”

"As for the officials of Deer Forest City captured by Chino's side, send someone to torture and interrogate them to see if they can ask for any useful information, and if they have any, report them to me immediately, and if not, they will be executed according to the law."

It is said that it is a harsh torture interrogation, but in fact, it is destined to be a bamboo basket for nothing, and those officials of Lulin City don't know anything in the first place, and they are completely in the dark, even if they have the intention to confess, they can't confess.

Pertheus solemnly admonished: "And you, Resahar, you acting governor have chosen me well, and don't promote some waste who can only eat and drink." ”

These words can be regarded as putting pressure on Resakhar, and the subtext in it is that he will be responsible for the new officials of Deer Forest City in the future, and if the new officials do something similar again, he will not escape the blame.

Lei Sakhar didn't dare to slack off, and responded with his chin bowed: "Obey." ”

Before Persius could say something, there was a knock on the door to the conference room, and he looked up and said "Enter".

A royal guard walked into the conference room, saluted everyone, and reported, "Your Majesty, the archbishop of the Crimson Church has asked to see you. ”

The name silenced the atmosphere in the conference room, and Perseus sat motionless in his seat like a statue with his forehead on his forehead, except for a deep voice: "He really knows how to choose the time." ”

The royal guard did not know whether the king meant to see or not to see, and remained silent for further answers.

"The three of you go down first, let the servants arrange a place for you to live, don't leave the royal city in the near future, there may be something to find you later." Pertheus got up and walked to the window, silently staring at the night scene outside the window, "Bring the archbishop to me." ”

The three saluted Perseus' back and took off.

It was late at night, and the hallway was lit with candles, but it was still ghostly, and the shadows that changed between the flames were like some kind of indescribable living creatures.

When Chino and the others came out of the conference room, a team happened to be approaching.

The leader is none other than Aaron, the "Cardinal" of the Scarlet Church who had a holiday with Chino before.

This New Year, when Chino took Solandelle shopping, he killed a Crimson Church doctor in the street, and in front of Aaron.

This offended Aaron, who was ready to take Chino under the Church Special Asylum Act.

Before the two sides could fight, they were stopped by the sudden appearance of Denisha.

At this time, Aaron was surrounded by 4 guards, who were extremely tall enough to be shoulder-to-shoulder with Edward, who was 2.5 meters tall, and Resakhar who was 2 meters tall looked like a dwarf in front of them.

These guards are draped in huge armor that covers their entire bodies, and the fully enclosed plate armor structure indicates an incalculable weight, and I don't know what kind of body can carry it, and the red eyes that exude an eerie aura are even more penetrating, and the slightest glance will make people shudder.

The Scarlet Sage, the elite private soldier of the Crimson Church, is directly under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop, and no one knows where they come from, and no one has even seen what they look like under the covered iron armor.

The team of the Crimson Church met Chino and the others head-on, and it was considered a narrow road, and Aaron looked at Chino with a cold face.

However, Aaron soon discovered that Chino was not looking at him, not even glancing at him.

Chino's gaze passed over Aaron and the four Crimson Sages, staring at the thin figure in the center of the group without emotion.

Whether compared to Aaron in cardinal's robes, or to the scarlet sage sage in heavy armor, this figure is too "plain".

It was an old man with gray hair, who wore no fancy ornaments, only a red tunic made of linen, and hand-woven straw sandals on his feet.

It is hard to imagine that such an old man, who is extremely plainly dressed and so simple that he does not fit in with the royal palace, could be the archbishop of the Scarlet Church, and the "savior" who turned the tide in the beast plague frenzy 27 years ago, and the patron saint in the hearts of countless kingdom people.

The wrinkles on the archbishop's face were as deep as a knife, full of the wind and frost of time, but his eyes were not as cloudy as ordinary old men, full of indifference, looking straight ahead.

Chino did not retract his gaze, and silently stared at the oncoming archbishop, without any expression on his face, which made him look the most terrifying, and his treacherous pupils did not seem to be able to shine into the candle flame on the wall.

The four Scarlet Sages looked at Chino one after another, their blood-red pupils filled with a chilling sense of danger, and the sound of heavy armor rubbing as they walked kept sounding, as if to give some kind of warning.

The archbishop didn't seem to notice Chino's gaze and brushed shoulders with him.

The two turned their backs to each other and walked farther and farther away.

"Do I know you?" Suddenly, the archbishop's old voice rang out.

Both Edward and Resakhar stopped and looked back, only to find that the archbishop had not stopped, nor had he turned his head to look at anyone, nor had he known who he was talking to.

Chino didn't stop, he didn't look back, he slowly walked around the corner, his body disappeared into the eerie shadows, and only an emotionless voice came: "You'll know each other soon." ”
