-144- Lord Linus, you have been arrested

The days of waiting are long and torturous.

In the midst of apprehension, nervousness and anticipation, time passed day by day, and the Grand Priest finally ushered in the day of the Church Examination of the Crescent Diocese.

After these days of preparation, he had almost taken care of the top and bottom, and even the various visions of Ball were all taken according to his needs and pressed down one by one with the tacit cooperation of the old duke.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the God of the Night, who is clearly hostile to the Blood Demon Order, for solving the Blood Demon Order's troubles and allowing him to skillfully take the credit on his own head.

He really did a lot of preparation.

For safety, he even put aside the little beauty of the Castel family for the time being.

Next, as long as the high priest himself can pass the test of the church's inquiry, he can get out of this crisis once and for all.

What happened to Boulder must not be hidden from the investigation of the legend, but if you want to hide it from a blazing sun priest...... If there is the secret help of the gods, the great priest is still sure.

Of course, he was prepared for the worst.

He had already closed the cathedral's emblem guard in advance, and he also brought the high-level magic scroll of directional teleportation with him, and once he realized that something was wrong, he would flee decisively.

That's the worst-case scenario, and if he could, the High Priest would like never to show up.

But if it does appear, he will have no choice but to completely surrender to the mysterious god of the night.

These days, I often pray to the god of the night, not only in the hope that I can get the protection of the other party in the evaluation, but also to prepare for the worst.

The melodious sound of bells rang from the bell tower of the church, accompanied by flying dust, and a mighty procession appeared outside the city of Boulder.

It was a jury of judges of the Knights of Judgment and the clergy of the Church.

The entire procession of more than 100 people drove into the city of Boulder, and the high priest Linus took the priest of Boulder and personally greeted him at the city gate.

The leader of the evaluation team is named Gast, a senior priest from a civilian background, who is deeply favored by the gods, and his strength is only one step away from the legend.

He is also one of the three duke-level theocracy lords of the Crescent Kingdom, ruling over the Landis Cult in the middle of the Crescent Kingdom, also known as the Randis Priestess.

At a glance, the high priest saw the Ranis priest surrounded by the priest.

As a high-ranking priest of the Holy Court, he was already able to know in advance about the high-level movements of many churches, and knew that the priest of Lantis had long been valued by the cardinals, and would soon be recalled to the clerical power to be tested by divine grace.

Once he passes the test, he will be officially promoted to the rank of High Priest with legendary powers, and will step down from his position as Lord Randis and join the Cardinal Priesthood.

The position of the chief priest of the great priest Linus in the future is actually the one led by the Duke of Lantis!

Thinking of this, the Grand Priest took a deep breath, put on a friendly and decent smile, came to the Randys Priest, and said enthusiastically:

"Praise be to the holy! Welcome to Boulder, Lord Garst! ”

The Lambis Priest was a tall, gray-haired, old-fashioned old man.

He didn't react to the high priest's overtures, just glanced at the other party coldly, and rushed towards the cathedral with the members of the evaluation team.

The Grand Priest's smile suddenly froze on his face.

Although Lantis is the presiding priest and the clerical vassal who rules the theocratic lordship, in terms of rank, he is actually on the same level as the archpriest Linus.

Both of them belong to the duke level, at most, the other party is half a level higher than him because of the identity of the chief priest, which is a bit similar to the palace titles and fiefdom titles in the nobility.

A priest of the same level has an indifferent attitude when they meet, and they don't even say hello, even if they are the chief examiners who act impartially, this situation is not normal.

The high priest vaguely felt that the attitude of the Lambis priest didn't seem to be right, but he couldn't think of where he had offended the other party.

But in any case, as the chief judge of his bid for the officiating priesthood, he must take care of the relationship.

Stiffening his smile, the Grand Priest turned to follow the team.

He came to the side of the priest of Lantis and gave a warm introduction to the customs and the church of Boulder.

But the Randis priest was still expressionless and unmoved, which made the high priest quite embarrassed.

If it weren't for the fact that the other two deputy examiners of the evaluation team followed his conversation without saying a word, the great priest really felt that he would soon be unable to stand this serious, embarrassing, and indifferent atmosphere.

Abnormal!

Absolutely not normal!

Even if the church does not allow the chief judge to have too much in-depth communication with the priest being evaluated, the attitude of the officiant Rantis is too abnormal!

The Grand Priest only felt his mood getting more and more irritable.

The jury had not yet begun to investigate the situation in Boulder, and this attitude appeared, could it be ...... What did the diocese find?

The Grand Priest's heart sank slightly.

But he thought about it carefully, and felt that he had filled all the holes, as if there were no loopholes left.

Even if there were, it would be a dereliction of duty for the revival of the evil gods.

But he also has the merit of "uprooting the Blood Demon Order" and the merit of theostatizing the future Castel.

It's all his strengths.

Not to mention, he also has the secret protection of the god of the night.

The Grand Priest suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, continued to smile, and chatted with the members of the jury, and returned to the cathedral of Boulder.

Priest Landis, who was the presiding judge, was the first to enter the church and naturally stood on the high platform of the hall.

The trial knights who came with the evaluation team were also lined up on both sides, with solemn expressions.

The Grand Priest was also a little nervous.

He knew that, according to the usual practice, the next time the evaluation panel would read out the church's official documents and related procedures.

As if to verify his judgment, as soon as Bishop Lantis had stood up, a priest respectfully handed him a parchment.

However, when the high priest saw the parchment scroll, he was suddenly stunned.

The cover of the parchment...... Not the gold used by the church to give ordinary official orders, but ominous black.

Black official documents, within the Holy Court, are only used when suspended, punished, or arrested.

A "creaking" sound came from behind him, and the High Priest noticed that the Knights of Judgment had closed the doors of the cathedral and locked them from the inside.

As for the other two deputy examiners, who also had the strength of the Blazing Sun Third Order, they were already standing behind him on the left and right, and they seemed to be ready to make a move at any time.

Not good!

The Great Priest's expression changed slightly.

At the same time, the Celebrant of Landis on the high platform also opened the black parchment scroll and recited with a serious expression:

"According to the real-name report, Linus, the Grand Priest of the Holy Court Polder Branch, colluded with the Blood Demon Order to kill civilians, and the evidence is conclusive......"

After speaking, he put down the parchment roll and looked at the great priest coldly:

"Lord Linus, you have been arrested."

There is only one shift tonight.
