Chapter 36: Herodotus' Parting Words
After Juan caught Herodotus, instead of relaxing, he cheered up his spirits, and then did not stop, and immediately rushed to the city of Scales.
They had only made four breaks along the way, and they had eaten their own dry food, trying to avoid dealing with the lords along the way, and only when they were stopped did they show a letter from the high priest of Quintus, asking for passage.
In this way, it only took six days to come to the city of Scales.
The moment he saw the city wall, Juan's heart that had been tense really let go of most of it.
He sent someone to inform the High Priest of Quintus and the Lord of Shapiro in advance, and by this time both of them had already arrived outside the city, and behind them were the guards of the Raimundi family, a total of three hundred people.
Juan left the others where they were, and he himself walked over with Herodotus.
After Herodotus was arrested, except for the first day, when he was more interested in the holy artifact of the Shuangxiu Sect that Juan was carrying, and asked a few more questions, he was very quiet in the rest of the year.
Only then did he speak again, "Looks like we're going to separate, knight. ”
Juan ignored it.
Herodotus didn't care, and continued to his own heart, "Say hello to your lord for me, and tell her that I look forward to meeting her again, and that then we will decide where the Westland belongs. ”
Juan snorted, "There is no next encounter, do you think you will still be alive after being sent to the City of Scales, besides, Sir Ilea is different from you, she does not have your greed, and she will not betray the Figuerola family." ”
"Yes, what about the Prophet Merlin? Is he just as content with the status quo and has no ambitions? Herodotus smiled.
Juan was silent.
Herodotus said no more, and followed Juan to the presence of the High Priest of Quintus and the Lord of Shapiro.
Herodotus glanced at Quintus first and said approvingly, "You are in charge of the Silvermoon Church now?" Good job, they caught me, they should have made you a high priest sooner. ”
Then he looked at Shapiro on the side, "Are you ......?"
"Your nightmare, you murdered my father and brother, it's time to pay off the debt." A sinister smile appeared on Shapiro's face.
"Oh, you're now the lord of Scaly City, shouldn't you thank me for that?" Herodotus asked rhetorically.
"I like your sense of humor, really, because you're going to use it in the future." Shapiro said as he straightened Herodotus' collar.
With that, he leaned into Herodotus' ear and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.
"I do have to thank you about my father and brother, but you know, I have to be a little angry in front of outsiders, so you and I will have a very good time right up until the trial.
"I won't kill you, but I promise you'll beg me to kill you then."
With that, he asked the guards behind him to escort Herodotus to the dungeon below the castle.
The High Priest of Quintus thanked Juan and invited them to the evening feast, but Juan declined.
The latter said that he had been away from Ozno for a while, and that he and his men wanted to return as soon as possible.
The high priest of Quintus was not reluctant, Juan and the others were all believers of the Shuangxiu Sect, and it was indeed a little embarrassing to participate in the celebration banquet held by the Silver Moon Church, not only for them, but also for the other people at the banquet.
Moreover, because of the common enemy of Herodotus, the relationship between the Silvermoon Church and the Shuangxiu Church has eased somewhat, even if Huls hinted that Quintus was trying to curb the development of the Shuangxiu Church, Quintus just didn't hear it.
But now that Herodotus has been arrested, the Double-Rest Church will become a problem for the Silvermoon Church again.
Quintus had three thousand golden lions taken out as a reward for the capture of Herodotus, and given to Juan.
The latter took the money and called out to the high priest who was leaving, "Why don't you kill him now?" ”
"What?" Quintus stopped.
"Why didn't you just kill Herodotus?" Juan said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let such a guy live even one more night." ”
"The Silvermoon Church has church rules," Quintus explained, "and that's the biggest difference between us and Herodotus, that we can't take away a person's life without trial, even if it's heinous.
"Besides, there are quite a few remnants out there in the Blood Moon Society, and I've heard that Herodotus is also in contact with the traitors Hugo and Ilkander, and we have a lot to ask him.
"Of course, the trial will not be too long, the day of the trial has been set, and in a month's time, if Sir Ilea is interested, she can also come and observe."
Juan nodded, "I'll bring your words back." Then he got on his horse and left with the rest of the men.
After returning to Teacup Castle, Juan recounted to the female lord the events of the past few days, including what Herodotus and Quintus had told him outside of Scaly City.
Miss Rabbit was stunned for a moment, "Herodotus said that when he and I meet again, he will decide where the Westside belongs?" ”
"That's what he said."
"That guy is too arrogant, where did you put the Figuerola family, they are the real masters of the West, everyone in this land thinks so."
"That's what I said to him, saying that you won't betray the Figuerola family."
Miss Rabbit nodded, and after a moment added, "Herodotus also said that the prophet Merlin also wanted the West...... Do you think that's credible? ”
"I think he's just saying this to sow distancing yourself and Prophet Merlin, and you don't have to take it personally."
"No, you're misunderstanding me, I'm not suspicious of the Prophet Merlin, I just realized that Merlin also has thoughts about the West, well, he did say that he hopes more people will come to believe in the Church of Weekends......"
Miss Rabbit touched her chin, "If I can help him take the West, then is he ......?"
Juan was taken aback, "Lord Ireya, are you trying to replace the Figuerara family as the new master of the West?" ”
"No, I just want to wait for Hulse to come back and have a good chat with him to see if I can convince him to support the Church of the Twin Recess to replace the Silvermoon Church. Why do you all feel as if I want to replace the Figuerola family? ”
"Has anyone else said that but me?"
"Angela, she thinks I'm setting up a movie club for this purpose." The female lord waved her hand, "Forget it, that child's brain has not been very good, don't take it to heart." ”
Juan sorted out his words in his heart and persuaded, "You better not go to Lord Huls, he is very wary of you now, and he definitely doesn't want the Shuangxiu Sect to develop too quickly in the West, let alone replace the Silver Moon Church." ”
"Well, you're right, I'm just asking."
