It's not that Herodotus doesn't feel the displeasure of the people around him, he just doesn't care.

He even turned down an invitation to lunch with Sir Eddard, the head of House Raimundi and the master of Scaly City.

Although he did not express his position on the surface, he has always been a strong supporter of Herodotus in private.

High Priest Martina never trusted High Priest of Kircuon, and was betrayed by Ser Eddard when her plans were revealed and she had to flee Scaly City.

High Priest Martina wanted to use the power of the Raimundi family to fight against the Guardians at the hands of Herodotus.

But Sir Ed agreed to come down on the front foot, and told Herodotus himself about it on the back foot.

If it weren't for the mysterious man who helped High Priest Martina at a critical moment, she would probably have been reduced to a prisoner along with High Priest Hesiod.

But Herodotus had more important things to do at the moment, and he couldn't bother to appease his important allies.

He finally made up his mind to make a trip to Iron Horn City and meet the maid beside Merlin himself.

Before leaving, he found Jin Tong and asked Jin Tong to be responsible for leading people to keep an eye on several key objects in the city, if the target has any abnormal movements, he can arrest him first, and if necessary, he can also kill people directly.

Herodotus then declared that he had felt the call of the goddess and was going out of the city to find the key to victory in the next battle.

As a result, it was okay that he didn't say anything, and after hearing his words, the people in the city became even more uneasy.

Because Herodotus didn't feel the call of the goddess in the early days, and didn't feel the call of the goddess in the evening, he just felt the call of the goddess when the army was about to overwhelm the realm, and ran out of the city.

Especially after seeing the rabble outside the city, more and more people in the city began to be not optimistic about the next battle.

When Sir Ed heard the news, he did not eat at all, and went straight to Herodotus's house in a carriage, and found that there were already many people standing at the door, all of whom were staring wide-eyed.

When I asked the guards outside the door, I learned that Herodotus had already left the city of Scales, and many people, including Ser Eddard, were laughed at angrily.

On the other side, Herodotus took four cavalrymen of the Guards, and it took only two and a half days to run to the Iron Horn City.

When they were almost outside the city, two of the horses were even exhausted, and the cavalrymen of the Rao Guard's Guard, all of them were strong and skilled, and they were all tired.

On the contrary, Herodotus, an ordinary person, although he is also discouraged, seems to be more and more energetic as he runs, and his eyes are blazing.

When he entered the city, he went straight to the grumpy tavern, where he washed his face, then took a few mouthfuls of black bread to pad his stomach, and when the carriage with the cross carved on the left wheel appeared, he sat down at once.

He squinted his eyes in the carriage and took a nap, and when the carriage stopped, Herodotus opened his eyes as well.

The place he used to hide Clara originally belonged to his teacher, High Priest Reeves, who was secretly given to High Priest Reeves by a wealthy merchant to prove his devotion to the goddess.

The latter reciprocated by making the rich merchant's daughter a priest three years later.

As the most valued disciple of the High Priest of Reeves, Herodotus doesn't remember how many similar things he has seen, and many of them are still handled by him.

Due to the fact that there were too many secret mansions, High Priest Reeves even forgot about the one in Iron Horn, and he hadn't been here for so many years anyway.

Speaking of which, Herodotus did owe a debt of gratitude to High Priest Reeves, not only because the latter was his teacher, but also for putting him in charge of the Guardian Corps.

And after the death of High Priest Reeves, Herodotus also took over most of the inheritance left by High Priest Reeves.

These legacies are not only huge wealth, but also the power that High Priest Reeves has painstakingly managed for nearly a hundred years and the various information he has gathered.

The reason why Herodotus was able to tie up with Ser Eddard and keep him on his side in his battle with High Priest Martina was because he knew what Sir Ed really wanted.

It was also by virtue of the legacy left by High Priest Reeves that he knew early on who could be wooed, who could be intimidated, and who would not give in no matter what, so he was able to control the upper echelons of the church in the fastest time.

In short, Herodotus's heart is full of gratitude to the teacher, and he plans to wait for everything to settle down, and then make up for the teacher's beautiful funeral.

As he thought about it, he stepped out of the carriage, and Mama Naima, who had been waiting in the front yard in advance, saluted Herodotus when she saw him.

Herodotus nodded at her as well and asked, "What about the child?" ”

"Still embroidering in the house, Ruby is with her." Mama Naima said, "I'm going to call her." ”

Herodotus waved his hand, "No, you lead the way, I'll go straight to her." ”

After walking a few steps, Herodotus stopped again, pointed to the Chinese characters on a tree next to him, and said, "The divine pattern on this is also carved by that child." ”

"That's right, as you explained, as long as you don't go out, don't contact people outside, no matter what she wants to do, we won't stop her, so I let her carve such a blasphemous pattern.

"Not only that, but she embroidered the same pattern on her handkerchief, clothes, and even bed sheets, calling out to her filthy gods."

"And then, did anything noteworthy happen?"

"So far, it's business as usual, and it seems that her gods are afraid of you and Picia."

Hearing this from Mama Naima, Herodotus was not happy, but slightly disappointed.

He then walked outside Clara's house and heard the laughter of the girls coming from inside.

Herodotus stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

The laughter inside died away, and a moment later Ruby's voice rang out, "Is it Mama Naima outside?" ”

"What are you talking about, it seems interesting." Herodotus spoke.

Ruby in the room heard his voice, her expression couldn't help but change slightly, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the door of the house as soon as possible.

Then he was about to salute, but was stopped by Herodotus.

Ruby took two steps back to make way for Herodotus to come in from the outside, and then took off his cloak for Herodotus.

Herodotus moved his wrist and said to Ruby, "Alright, you can go." ”

Ruby hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and seemed a little uneasy about Clara in the room, but when she met Herodotus' gaze, she couldn't help but be shocked.

Herodotus had a smile on his face, but his eyes had already cooled.

Ruby didn't dare to play any tricks and obediently left the room.
