Chapter Seventy-Six: Because You Are Afraid of Death

The fate of the High Priest of Kircuon further ignited the whole affair and caused an uproar among the priests and believers in the church.

More and more people are beginning to realize that this is not a feud between High Priest Herodotus and High Priest Martina, but a great storm that has swept the entire church.

This is also confirmed once again by the facts.

Herodotus led a raid on the residence of High Priest Martina, where he obtained evidence of her collaboration with the enemy, but was unable to capture High Priest Martina herself.

The latter got the news out of nowhere, and left the multiscale city where he had been living half a day early.

So Herodotus turned around and arrested the High Priest of Hesiod, and at the same time secretly sent the cavalry of the Guardians to pursue the High Priest Martina.

However, the cavalry of the Guardians guessed the wrong direction in which High Priest Martina was traveling, and instead of returning to her family to seek her family's protection, she headed southeast.

Came to the City of the Lake.

By the time Herodotus got the news, High Priest Martina had already entered the city.

"It's a good choice." Herodotus praised.

After speaking, he looked at the other three people in the main hall, "Do you know what's good?" ”

High Priest Kircuon hesitated for a moment and said, "The City in the Lake belongs to the Mariel family, and the Mariel family and the Belon family have always been at odds with each other, what is she doing there?" ”

Herodotus smiled, did not answer, and looked at the other two, the High Priest of Gonaia, who was visibly flustered, and as soon as their eyes met, she lowered her head.

Fearful and helpless, he said, "High Priest Herodotus, there really is ...... Is it necessary to do this to this extent? ”

"Shouldn't I have asked you? You, Hesiod, and High Priest Martina secretly gathered together behind my back to discuss how to deal with me, right? ”

Gonaia was speechless.

And the High Priest of Dachius, who had been blushing beside her, finally couldn't help but speak, "What about me, High Priest Martina also came to me, but I didn't promise her, why did you arrest me?" ”

"Please, not arrest, I only arrested Hesiod alone." Herodotus corrected, "Besides, you're stupider than they are. ”

Dechius was discolored.

"It's a war to the death, there's no room for the centrists to ride the wall, and you didn't accept the invitation of High Priest Martina, but you didn't tell me about it afterwards."

"I knew you were so crazy, I should have listened to High Priest Martina's warning." Dachius said hatefully.

Herodotus, "Even if you join the other side, it won't change anything, none of you have an army. ”

"Violence cannot prevail over justice," Dechius disagreed, "There are so many priests in the church, and so many believers below, can you still control them all as you control us?" ”

"Of course not, and I don't have to control them." Herodotus said, "Don't you hear outside in your dwelling these days, and now there are more and more people who support the church to form an army. ”

"That's because you made up lies to slander High Priest Martina and High Priest Hesiod."

Gonaia plucked up her courage and said, "And it was when she left the Scaly City and couldn't speak, but now that she's in Lake City, she will definitely not be silent any longer, and then everything will be revealed." ”

"That's why I need you." Herodotus said, "When High Priest Martina explains her truth, you will help me to refute her." ”

"You're dreaming." Dachius scoffed.

"No, I'm serious." Herodotus looked serious, "You will definitely help me too." ”

"Why?"

"Because you are afraid of death."

Accused of being greedy for life and afraid of death, Dachius and Gonaia's faces looked very ugly, but the high priest of Cocuon on the other side still looked the same.

Both Dachius and Gonaia admired his cheekiness a little.

High Priest Kircuon then opened his mouth to play a round for both sides, "Okay, okay, everyone is angry, since High Priest Herodotus invited us here, he definitely doesn't want to kill us."

"Since the three of us are here, of course we don't want to die. Let's cooperate so that High Priest Herodotus can get his army, and we can continue to be our High Priest. ”

Herodotus gave a thumbs up, "It's still the high priest of Kircuon who lives thoroughly." ”

Dachius was speechless. Gonaia opened her mouth several times, but in the end she still didn't have the courage to say no, and she could only acquiesce to the statement of the High Priest of Kircuon.

"Then from now on we will be in the same boat, and it is better not to make trouble with each other anymore, otherwise it is likely that something will happen that no one wants to see."

Herodotus paused, "Let's get back to business, does anyone know why High Priest Martina went to the City of the Lake?" ”

"I know." Decius was still frowning, and seemed to have a problem with Herodotus's approach, but he opened his mouth anyway.

"Although the Maril family has some past grievances with the Belon family, they have a good relationship with the High Priest Martina, who was born in the Belon family, and the High Priest Martina once treated the head of the Maril family and saved his life.

"She fled to Lake City, presumably with the help of the Maliel family."

"Not bad." Herodotus agreed, "High Priest Martina has finally opened her mind, and she has realized that if she wants to defeat me, she can't do it without an army.

"She didn't go home, because she knew that I would send someone to hunt her down, and she didn't go east, because it was the direction of Thorn City, and she didn't go west, and if she was too close to the Shuangxiu Sect, it would confirm my accusations against her, so she chose to go south and run to Lake City."

"Will the Marlir family really listen to High Priest Martina and lend her troops?"

High Priest Kircuon was skeptical, "Not to mention the Mariel family, even the Peron family may not dare to send troops, but the major families in the Western Realm have always had an agreement with the church and will not interfere in the internal affairs of the church. ”

"Then you must be underestimating High Priest Martina, she has always been my teacher's biggest headache." Herodotus said, "She will borrow people." ”

The High Priest of Kircuon was shocked when he heard this, "This ...... What if she brings someone to call? Did High Priest Martina really dare to do this? No way. ”

Not only the High Priest of Kircuon, but Gonaia and Dachius also turned grim and looked at each other.

Having Herodotus as a madman was enough of a headache, and if the always steady High Priest Martina was also crazy, they couldn't imagine how much things would deteriorate next.

On the contrary, Herodotus rubbed his hands and looked excited, "It's good to fight, it's good to fight, if she doesn't beat me, how can she help me clear the biggest obstacle to forming an army." ”
