Chapter 2: Conspiracy

"Sydney priest, it's time for you to take your students back into the arms of God, and trust me, God will reward you for your devotion to God."

The one who spoke was a middle-aged priest, wearing a white robe embroidered with sea ripples, his face was full of divine brilliance, if it were not for the vicious words in his mouth, he was really a compassionate messenger of the gods.

This person is the new priest who will succeed the old priest as the new priest of Bu Dunhai, and he is also the Templar Valentine who used to be in the adjacent sea.

Now the future priest of the Budun Sea had taken off his Templar knight's riding garb and was dressed in a white robe, which was only a gray embroidery on the sleeves compared to the white robes of the priest's apprentices who had repaired the altar.

The embroidery seemed to have a sacred meaning, at least Doris saw obvious envy and a hint of deep nostalgia on the old priest's face.

Priest Valentine also noticed the envy in the old priest's eyes, and shook his sleeves proudly.

Perhaps, this is also what the old priest is happy to see.

Looking at the smug successor standing in front of him, the old priest straightened up sharply, straightened his robe, took out a bag from his sleeve, and then poured the contents of the bag into Doris's hand, "Occam, this is my last gift to you, I hope you don't refuse." ”

The new priest Valentine looked at the shell, and his face suddenly turned ugly, but in the end, for some reason, he endured it.

Valentine really didn't expect the old priest to get the favor of the gods with just a sea beast.

Doris felt that there was more than just a shell in the palm of her hand, and under the cover of the shell, the old priest gave her something next to her, and now everyone's eyes were focused on Doris's body, she directly accepted the shell, and there was no extra expression on her face.

When everyone turned their eyes back to the old priest, they directly moved everything except shells to the portable space she had opened up in her previous life.

As soon as the old priest saw her, he said that she had just taken a sex change potion, indicating that replacing Occam with Doris was not an impulsive act of Occam, but a tacit understanding between the old priest and Doris's adoptive mother.

Perhaps, when Doris learned of the news, she came to report to Occam, which was part of the plan.

Now Doris doesn't know why the old priest changed his plan and chose to give her a way out, but even if this hope comes with a deal, Doris takes it.

If there is a chance to live, no one will choose to die.

The old priest was a little surprised by Doris's composure, he didn't know if she understood his deep meaning when she was about to die, but he didn't have time to wait.

The old priest did not hesitate and led all the students directly to the high platform, but was stopped by the middle-aged priest when Doris was about to follow.

Looking at Doris's subconscious behavior, the middle-aged priest confirmed that Doris did not know the mystery of the shell, and the look on his face became even more ugly, and he lost the opportunity to cancel Doris's life at the end.

According to the supreme texts of the temple, the gray robe is above all else.

Valentine's face was very ugly, and he stared at Doris with gloomy eyes, "Boy, you are lucky, but if you don't succeed, I guarantee that you will die worse than the blood sacrifice." ”

What this means is that Doris, who was holding the old priest's apprentice Occam, actually chose to give up sending her to the altar because of a shell given by the old priest, even if the priest's successor was reluctant.

Doris was at a loss in her eyes, what did the shell that the old priest gave her represent?

In Doris's short 14 years of memory, such shells were either used as currency for trading or carefully woven into ornaments, but why would a ubiquitous shell make a middle-aged priest so jealous?

Now the shell in Doris's hand looks no different from the shell she sees on weekdays, except for the touch in her hand, it is like a thin transparent film on the surface of the shell, is it because of this film?

Why would this middle-aged priest who wanted to wipe out all the forces of the old priest give up his original plan?

If the Blood Sacrifice is an exception for all priests' apprentices, why can she be redeemed if she gets the shell?

If the old priest had this thing to save Occam, why did he acquiesce to Occam's escape, or even let her replace Occam?

The old priest who walked up to the altar and all his apprentices were scorched by the dark blue flames rising from the altar, and Doris was touched by the calm expressions of everyone.

The swaying seaweed seemed to be afraid of the blue flames on the altar, and as the water swayed, a green algae stretched out of the sand and suddenly wrapped around Doris's right foot, pulling her far away.

Doris wanted to struggle, but was tied stronger by the second green algae that suddenly appeared, Doris's slender body had not moved, and the depths of her soul had already reflexively mobilized a strange power, condensing a red gem at her fingertips, a slight crack inside the ruby, which seemed to hide an unknown power.

Using the gem's initial power, Doris unleashed an attack that severed the green algae.

"Occam, are you alright?"

The sudden appearance of the Templar made Doris's eyes narrow, in the memory of the original owner, he knew that this was the original Templar Knight of Bu Dunhai, and he had a good relationship with Doris's sister Nicole, and he didn't know how much he had just seen.

Doris let go of the gem, and the gem was carried by the current of water and slipped between her fingers, fell to the ground, and sank into the sand, revealing only one-sixth of its glossy surface, shimmering faintly.

Doris's weak body couldn't withstand such a big bump at all, and with a low spell from her, she fainted directly.

A coral forest in the Butun Sea.

Occam locked himself in his room, moving the sea stone behind the door, and couldn't help but go around the room, "The Templars will come and get me, they will, but what should I do?" No, I have to run, yes, I have to run, run now! ”

Before Occam could figure out how to escape, suddenly, the door was pushed violently from the outside.

"Who?" Occam, who subconsciously spoke, covered his mouth in annoyance, he shouldn't have made a sound, wouldn't this directly expose that there were people in the room?

A sigh came from outside the door, "Occam, open the door, it's Mom." ”

"Mom?" Occam's mind was in turmoil, and he subconsciously moved away from the sea stone blocking the door, "Mom, Mom, help me, I don't want to die!" ”

Mrs. Shirley hugged her crying son, and her heart was about to break, "Occam, don't be afraid, your mother will protect you, don't worry, your mother is here." ”

There was a fierceness in Mrs. Shirley's eyes, Doris, don't blame Mom, Mom can't help it.

When the old priest proposed to give Occam a gray-robed shell, she was moved, even though she knew the old priest's physical condition, she still selfishly hoped for it, which was nothing to the old priest, but unfortunately, she tried her best to attract carefully selected sea beasts, but in the end it failed.

They didn't get the grey-robed shells in the sea beasts.

Also because of the injury of the old priest, the temple sent a new priest.

Originally, they thought that Budun Sea was such a desolate place, and it was in the lower sea, even if the temple appointed a priest, they still had room to turn around, but they didn't expect to meet Valentine.

As a last resort, she had to find a way to get the sex change potion and push Doris out.

She deliberately let Doris know that Occam was going to be sacrificed by blood, and with Doris's character, she would definitely go to Occam who was still in the temple to report the news, and Doris would definitely be willing to die in place of Occam, after all, she even had a sex change potion ready.

This morning, after Doris overhears that she wants to use the sex transmutation potion to replace Occam on the altar, sure enough, Doris secretly takes the sex change potion and goes to the temple.

Now, her Occam is back, and it's all gone.

"Occam, don't worry, the old priest will save you, now, there must be an Occam on the altar who has been hanged, you hide at home during this time and don't go out, and when your mother gets back the baby that can make you change your face, you can change your identity and live."

Occam couldn't stop crying, and when he heard that he didn't have to die, he couldn't help but burp, "Mom, what you said is true, I don't have to die, great, I don't have to die." ”

Mrs. Shirley hurriedly stopped her excited son, "Be quiet, Dom will bring you food during this time, you just hide at home, don't go out a single step, be obedient, understand?" ”

Dom is Lady Shirley's confidant, the most trusted sea clan in the family.

"Mmmm, Mom, don't worry, I will be obedient. By the way, do you want to tell my dad about my return? ”

Mrs. Shirley shook her head gently but firmly, "No, no need, your father is an honest man, he, I'm afraid he won't agree to let others die in your place, and when the dust settles, Mom will find an opportunity to tell him in person." ”

Occam opened his mouth, although he knew that he didn't have to die, someone would definitely die, but he thought he didn't need to know, but he didn't expect his mother to choose to tell him.

Occam knew from a young age that this home was owned by his mother.

Although Dad is a Templar Knight, he can be honest and cowardly, but Mom is strong and resolute, he doesn't know why Mom married such a dad back then, but he knows that his Mom is not an ordinary person, she is very powerful.

Mom adopted several children, most of whom were Fish-People.

Obviously, their mother treats them in general, but they all admire their mother, for example, Doris, who may die in his place.

Mom has a way to make the timid Doris willingly die in his place.

"Ah, my dear Occam." Mrs. Shirley took her son into her arms, "I know what you are thinking, I think too simply, I want to protect you, but in fact, I no longer have the ability to shelter you, I have long lost my former glory."

My son, it was my mother who had problems with your education before, and this incident is the best lesson.

When this is over, I will teach you that sometimes innocence is not a sin, but it will make you lose the chance to live. ”

Occam disagreed in his heart, he didn't want to be an impure person, he was an apprentice priest, how could he become the sinner he hated the most if he wanted to serve God with a pure soul in the future?

Mrs. Shirley didn't understand Occam's thoughts, and he was stupid enough to show everything to his face.

But she really can't indulge her son anymore.

If "The Gray Robe" is a miracle, then God must favor the wise.
