Juan and the others left for about a week, and according to the request of the high priest of Quintus, they did not make much fanfare, and walked very quietly.

Even the banner of the Arias family was not raised, and Miss Rabbit only announced that they were sent to escort an important person to the Golden Valley.

And Donia of the Singleton family has not been seen in the green field since then, so most people think that the important person is her.

It wasn't until a week later that the female lord got in touch with Juan again via the radio. The latter's voice was too excited, and even trembled,

"I ...... We've got him, we've got him! We've got him!! Lord Yin Leia. Miss Rabbit had been a little drowsy from the charcoal fire in the basin, but after Juan repeated that sentence three times, she immediately came to her senses and said with the same excitement.

"You succeeded?! Really, you caught Herodotus? ”

"It's true, the high priest of Quintus has found several people who have been acquainted with Herodotus to confirm that it is indeed Herodotus himself, and not a stand-in.

"We found him in a small village, which was an important stronghold of the Blood Moon Society, but Herodotus was cunning, he sent out the Seven High Priests to secretly preach in place of him, fanned the riots, but he hid himself, did not show up in front of people, and changed hiding places from time to time.

In this way, the lords of the western realm can only catch the missionary priests at most, but they have nothing to do with Herodotus, and even if the seven high priests are captured and killed, Herodotus can still choose new ones.

"This time, thanks to the High Priest of Quintus, he sent an internal response to infiltrate the Blood Moon Society, otherwise it would be too difficult to catch Herodotus." Juan Dao,

"Now we are carrying Herodotus in the direction of the City of Scales, where the Church of the Silver Moon will hold his trial."

"Well, I see, then you should be careful on the road." After turning off the radio, Miss Rabbit's mood is still difficult to calm down.

For more than a year, Herodotus had been a nightmare for the nobles of the West.

He betrayed the Silvermoon Church to establish the Blood Moon Society, and single-handedly created the Eucalyptus in the Scaly City, poisoning the rest of the Church's high priests and many nobles.

Forcibly misinterpreting the Sacred Book of the Silver Moon and transforming the Protestant Church into an extremist organization full of hatred and bigotry.

The use of intimidation, assassination, poisoning and other means to wantonly eliminate dissidents, so that the entire western frontier is shrouded in a shadow of terror.

And now that this monster with blood on its hands has finally been caught, and the process is so smooth, Miss Rabbit can't help but feel a sense of unreality.

But when I thought that the High Priest of Quintus had been planning for this matter for almost a year, and he had also sent Neiying to infiltrate the Blood Moon Society and try his best to get close to Herodotus, in exchange for such a precious opportunity, it was not a surprise that he could finally succeed.

Many people despised Quintus because of his origins, his dark skin, and his peasant-like face, and felt that he was inferior to High Priest Martina in terms of prestige and strategy.

But Quintus also has one advantage that neither of the above can match, and that is his tenacity.

The grass looks inconspicuous, but it grows on the hard rock wall, cracking the nearby rocks a little bit.

And Quintus also relied on this tenacity to catch Herodotus, who no one could catch. The latter was now bound hand and foot in chains, and sat on a large horse.

Juan and the female lord came back from the call, turned on their horses, and sat behind Herodotus, while the cavalry of the House of Arias surrounded the two in the middle.

Juan warns Herodotus,

"Don't play tricks, and don't expect your followers to take you away, I have obtained permission from the High Priest of Quintus, and if the situation is critical, I can choose not to bring you back to Multiscale City and execute you directly." Although Herodotus was arrested, he did not show much panic after the initial shock, but expressed interest.

"What did you just go for? I see you seem to be talking to the air. ”

"It has nothing to do with you." Juan Dao. Herodotus looked again at Hughes behind him, and at the package he was carrying.

"That's the holy artifact of the Shuangxiu Sect, you were talking to people just now by that holy artifact, let me guess who is talking to you, is it Merlin?"

"I said, it's none of your business, you'd better keep your mouth shut from now until Scaly City." Juan was cautious and sent two teams to scout the neighborhood and make sure there was no danger before leading the group on the road.

But after walking a few steps, he was stopped. They were stopped by the villagers, men and women, old men and children, many of whom had weapons in their hands.

"Sir Juan, they are all warriors of the Blood Moon Society, let's kill them all." A priest from the Silvermoon Church next to him spoke.

It was a man sent by the high priest of Quintus to assist in the capture, named Jacques, who had been a student of Herodotus.

Juan frowned when he heard this, although the group of villagers in front of him was not good, but the weapons in their hands were very simple, almost all of them were farm tools.

And with such a big age difference, it is clear that they are just ordinary villagers, not warriors, and Juan doesn't want to do anything to them.

However, if they don't get out of the way, or take the initiative to attack and want to save people, then Juan will have to give orders to his subordinates to attack as well.

Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Herodotus suddenly coughed lightly and said to Juan.

"Can I say a word to them? Don't worry, I'm not here to ask for help, and besides, they're not your opponents, they can't save me at all, they just die for nothing. ”

"I thought you didn't care about other people's lives or deaths." Juan Dao.

"Of course I do." Herodotus smiled,

"It's just that sometimes we have to make some sacrifices, although I kill a lot of people, but they are all purposeful, and I also hate meaningless death, like now." Juan didn't know how much of what the man was saying was true and what was false, but since it was possible to avoid conflict, he acquiesced to Herodotus' proposal.

He even rode his horse a few steps forward. Herodotus spoke, and said in a warm voice,

"My children, listen to me and go back, this is the will of the Goddess, and there is no need to worry, for this is only the last darkness before dawn......" Before he could finish his words, he was taken

There was a "snap" that interrupted, and the whip struck Herodotus, leaving a bloody mark on his chest.

Jacques then exclaimed,

"They are all dying, Herodotus, you traitor, are still talking nonsense, in the name of the goddess, to deceive these ignorant peasants!" Herodotus glanced back at Jacques, he didn't say anything, but Jacques still had a panic inexplicably, but he quickly forced the panic down.

Herodotus was no longer his teacher, and he was already a prisoner of the Church, and he didn't have many days to live, so he had no need to be afraid of a dying man.

So he glared back again, only to find that Herodotus had already withdrawn his gaze, and looked at the villagers again,

"Go, don't disobey the will of the goddess." The villagers looked at each other, but eventually stepped aside, making way for Juan and the others to leave.
