Chapter 42: I Heard Her Voice

Seeing Herodotus approaching Reeves step by step, the High Priest finally panicked, and shouted as he shrank back, "You can't kill me!" I'm the High Priest, kill me, how do you explain to the other priests and the believers?! ”

"On the contrary, only when you die, teacher, can you give an explanation to others. Just like you said, teacher, this time the church's rout in the green field needs a weighty person to stand up and take responsibility. Herodotus said softly.

Perhaps because he felt the crisis, High Priest Reeves' attitude gradually softened, and he changed his words, "I can take responsibility, as long as you don't kill me." ”

"But...... If you don't kill the teacher, with your connections and influence in the church, I'm afraid that the person who will die will be me. "Herodotus has kept walking, and has driven the old priest into a corner.

High Priest Reeves was really anxious at this moment, and his legs began to tremble.

The older a person gets, the more afraid he is of death, not to mention that High Priest Reeves, as one of the seven people who control the Silver Moon Church, stands at the top of the power, and can enjoy happiness that ordinary people can't imagine every day, so he is even more reluctant to die.

He had completely put down his previous shelf, and said in an almost pleading tone, "No, I can swear to Picia that I will never embarrass you again." ”

Seeing that Herodotus was indifferent, he played the emotional card again, "Do you remember the first time we met, when you were just on my chest, and the first time I saw you, I decided that you would definitely have great achievements in the future......"

"Teacher." Herodotus interrupted the old priest, "Believe it or not, from my personal point of view, I still have more gratitude to you than resentment, as you said, I can't do everything I have today without your help, I became a high priest in my early hundreds, even if it is only responsible for managing those guardians and dealing with the darkness, it is enough to make many people envious." ”

"Then let the teacher live." High Priest Reeves also showed a look of joy on his face when he heard this, "The teacher can be a dog for you, with my connections in the church, it will be easy for you to do anything you want in the future." ”

"But today's events have nothing to do with personal grudges." Herodotus was a little disappointed, "It's all at this time, teacher, why don't you believe that not everyone is as selfish as you, I'm just doing what I have to do, it's not that I want you to die, it's the goddess she wants you to die!" ”

Herodotus had already swung the knife in his hand as he spoke, but in the face of death, the old priest also burst out with an unprecedented survival instinct, as if he was fifty years younger.

As soon as he leaned over, he dodged the knife.

Herodotus' knife grazed his scalp and plunged into the wall, but only cut off a strand of the old priest's gray hair, and the high priest of Reeves began to scream and call out to the guard outside the door.

But no matter how loud he screamed, no one came in.

On the other side, Herodotus had already pulled out the knife again unhurriedly, and the old priest wanted to run away again, but this time he was directly grabbed by his own disciple by the hair.

High Priest Reeves screamed, like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, "You're lying, the goddess doesn't speak at all!" She never passed the oracle to anyone! She doesn't care about earthly things at all! ”

"Yes, she can speak, but you can't hear it, teacher." Herodotus firmly, "But I can hear that she chose me to be the savior. ”

The young priest said as he moved the knife to the throat of High Priest Reeves.

He was obviously doing the bloodiest and tyrannical things, but the demeanor on his face and the posture of his body revealed a sense of sacred ritual.

At the last moment of his life, the old priest seemed to think of something, Tong Kong shrank suddenly, and said in a lost voice, "You, did you take the Moon Spirit Essence that controls the Guardian Sect and suck it yourself!" That thing will hallucinate you, but ......"

Before High Priest Reeves could finish his words, his throat had already been slit, blood was pouring down the wound on his neck, and he reached out desperately to hold it, but it was too late.

The old priest crawled a little longer with his neck clutched, and finally threw himself on the ground motionless, completely out of breath.

Herodotus stood up, took out his handkerchief, wiped the blood from the knife, and then turned to look at the other side of the room.

The maid who had served the High Priest of Reeves had been standing there, witnessing what had just happened from beginning to end, but she did not make a sound at all, nor did she run away.

Herodotus nodded, "You're pretty good, what's your name?" ”

"Ruby."

"Ruby, High Priest Reeves is dead, you can follow me in the future."

Hearing this, Ruby immediately bowed down and said, "Master, I will definitely serve you well in the future." ”

"No, no, I don't have the hobby of a teacher." Herodotus shook his head and said, "Ruby, I need you to help me with something. I'm surrounded by men with knives and guns, and they're very good at killing, but they can't do this kind of ...... Meticulous work. I want you to watch someone for me, preferably to be friends with her, very, very good friends, can you do that? ”

"Of course, I was taught from a young age what to do to please men." Ruby said with her chest straight.

"Oh, you're mistaken, I'm talking about a woman, about the same age as you, and she used to be a maid like you, so I think there should be some common language between the two of you."

"I also know how to please women."

"Perfect." Herodotus said, putting away the knife, "Do you have anything else to clean up?" ”

"Nope."

"Then go find a dress to wear, and we'll get out of here."

With that, Herodotus stepped over the body of his mentor and walked out of the house.

There, a group of black-armored cavalry had already taken down all the guards and seized their weapons, and Herodotus did not embarrass them, but only said to them.

"Because of what happened in the green field, the teacher felt shameless to face the believers and colleagues of the church behind him, and wanted to apologize with death, although I tried my best to dissuade him, but the teacher was strong, and finally chose to cut himself while I was unprepared, I tried my best, but the person could not be saved.

"Ruby, the maid, was there at the time, and she was the main witness, and I will bring her back for a proper interrogation."

The nurses look at me, I look at you, their faces are shocked and suspicious, but in the end, no one dares to say anything.

They had already learned the power of those black-armored cavalrymen, and one of them could beat them three or four, and besides, the employers were dead, and there was no point in trying hard now, and in the end they could only watch Herodotus and Lubiyan go.
