"Majesty, please listen to me. Zuo Sai's voice trembled involuntarily: "I know that I have done a lot of bad things, so to speak...... The crime is heinous, and it is natural to be punished, but how long can my old bones last? Please take care of your old acquaintance, and give me extrajudicial kindness, I will be grateful to your majesty until I die!"

The left priest's words were quick and urgent, and the right priest couldn't interject, so he had to nod his head again and again, lest Cohen didn't see his expression, and the range of his movements was a little exaggerated.

"Heinous crimes? Extrajudicial mercy?" Cohen nodded with a smile: "This is the most ridiculous joke I've heard today, do you think it's possible? You will be grateful to me until you die? As soon as you leave this palace gate, you dare to promise that you won't hug anyone's thigh?"

"No, I won't!" The right priest didn't care whether his words could achieve the effect, but just confessed first: "I swear allegiance to His Majesty Cohen and never betray!

"Something that doesn't make sense. Cohen didn't even look up at the right priest: "Twenty kneeling down and slapping his mouth." ”

Although he felt more aggrieved in his heart, the right priest still knelt down at the first time, and slapped his cheeks with both hands. The sound of "crackling" sounded, but the left priest next to him didn't have any joy in his heart. He understood that if he didn't answer his next sentence well, then his experience would be more than ten times worse than that of the right sacrifice.

"What kind of person am I, you should know what kind of person I am, right?" Cohen's voice didn't fluctuate, it was still an indifferent tone. If the crow had been present, he would have told Cohen not to learn to speak on his own.

"Please make it clear to His Majesty the Emperor, and the guilty ministers will listen to him. "Zuo Sai was born with a delicate heart. Knowing Cohen's words is only half of what he said. So he replied obediently: "But there is a place where the guilty minister can help His Majesty." The sinner must atone for his sins. ”

"Oh yes! Smart people just take advantage. Cohen looked up at the night sky and laughed. When he laughed the most, he stopped inexplicably, and his face was like that of an elegant scholar: "Well, the sky is really good tonight, you two, let's talk about something to relieve your boredom!"

"Talking about things?" The right priest had already finished beating himself, and then knelt down two steps, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I revealed that the position of the priest of the middle temple of the left priest was bought with money! Bribed his boss with 30,000 gold coins......"

Cohen listened with a smile and didn't answer, but his smile was clearly encouraging.

Zuo Shang was only surprised for a moment, and then looked at his former colleague with a very innocent look. He wasn't afraid in his heart, how could such a small matter be affected by Cohen. But the more the right priest spoke, the more excited he became, and he actually had a little bit of momentum......

"All right! It's a lot of trouble to say this. When the right priest talked about the charming and lovely entourage of the left priest, His Majesty Cohen interrupted him: "Left priest, what do you think of what the right priest said?"

"If you return to your majesty, the criminal minister has nothing to refute, those things ...... Most of them were committed by criminals. Zuo Priest decided to take a gamble: "Your Majesty xià Mingjian." The temple is like this, and the wicked do not follow it. will be recognized as an outlier by others, and this old life is long gone. ”

"Oh, then, the priests of the temple often do things to their own people?" Cohen picked up the flask and poured himself a glass, "What do you usually do?"

"That's a lot of means. Zuo priest replied respectfully: "Usually it is customary to blame the blame, or to borrow a knife to kill, if the matter is imminent, the only way is to open the upper and lower joints and directly assassinate the other party......

"Assassination?" Cohen glanced at Zuo Sacrifice: "Speaking of which, what happened to the large-scale assassination of the Demon Divine Clan after the Great War of Gods and Demons?"

"This ......" the left priest was slightly surprised, but the right priest on the other side had already shouted and confessed.

"We did it, Majesty, that's what we did. Right Priest's cheeks were swollen high, and it became more and more difficult to speak: "We have sent a large number of killers to infiltrate the Demon Alliance and kill those who may pose a threat to us. ”

"You sent the killer who infiltrated the Demon Alliance?" Cohen shook his head, a look of suspicion on his face, "When did the temple become so efficient in doing things?"

"Really, my majesty, I guarantee with my life. The right priest's eyes widened, as if his life could really be guaranteed by something: "But the assassination list is from the Protoss, and we are only responsible for the specific arrangements......"

Cohen raised his hand and motioned for the Right Priest to shut up.

"At no time do I want to hear you speak ill of the Protoss, you remember. Cohen looked at the right priest, "But if you're providing an answer to my question, it's not a forbidden." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Don't kneel, stand up!" Cohen said with a smile, "Seeing that you are dedicated, and it is not good for Young Master Ben not to miss the old feelings, then—let you have a chance to go up to the ground and see the sun once a year for three hours." ”

After turning his head several times, he realized that this was the reward of His Majesty the Emperor, and although it was very different from the reward he dreamed of, it was a reward after all! And for those who are locked up in the dungeon, the opportunity to go up to the ground and see the sun is also a very luxurious treatment...... So while the right priest was grateful to Cohen, he also felt a little more happy in his heart.

On the other hand, Zuo Xian, he was not in a hurry, because he knew that His Majesty Cohen would not be satisfied with this news, let alone end the questioning, and he had many opportunities.

"It is impossible to assassinate so many people in the Demon Alliance, and a small number of killers are impossible, how many people have prepared in your temple for such an operation? In the rebellion war, there are people you sent under the left minister, right?" Sure enough, His Majesty Cohen continued to ask, "Whoever can provide a perfect answer to this question, I will grant him a quarter of an hour of fresh air every year." ”

"I can provide an answer for His Majesty. Your Majesty, I am a living dictionary about the various powers that lie beneath the temple. While the right priest was still recalling, the left priest had already spoken: "Under the ordinary imperial temple, there is a group of priests with average combat strength, and they can be distinguished from the clothes of these people. They embroidered a gold thread on their belt. Folks call him the Golden Thread Master. Specialize in things that are inconvenient to make a noise. ”

"And currently in the Temple of Paradise Island. The temple has a Knights of Light, with a total of more than two thousand Knights of Light of all ranks. Zuo Priest looked at Cohen's face and said cautiously: "Please forgive your Majesty, in the rebellion war, we sent a total of 500 Knights of Light to Lu Man, they fought in the Holy Capital, and His Majesty also fought with them. ”

"Rest assured and be bold to say that this will not increase your guilt. Cohen nodded: "These things are also on Luman's confession. Was the assassination carried out by the Knight of Light?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Cohen's eyes flashed fiercely: "Then do you know that Young Master Ben was also assassinated the day before he ascended the throne?"

"Your Majesty Mingjian! This matter must have nothing to do with us!" Zuo Xi's feet weakened, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground: "We were already dealing with things in the Sibia Empire at that time, and we had no time to plan such a thing!"

"Really?" Cohen said noncommittally, "That's weird, at this time, who else is going to assassinate me?"

"We have also heard about the assassination of His Majesty. The left priest looked at the right priest: "The two of us have also guessed ...... privately"

"Guessed?" Cohen looked at the wine glass in his hand, "What's the conclusion?"

"At this time, because of the order of the Light God Clan, it is no longer possible for the temple itself to oppose His Majesty. Zuo Priest's voice lowered: "The only person who has the potential to oppose His Majesty is only one person, and that is the red-clothed chief priest." If something happens before His Majesty ascends the throne. It is highly likely that he will be reinstated, at least not too much punishment. ”

"But didn't the Light Protoss remove him from his position?" Cohen smiled, "An out-of-the-air priest who has lost his position." How is it possible to summon people in a temple of incomparable snobbery?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know! The other knights of light may not be able to scream, but there is one killer who will definitely obey him. The right priest took over: "One of the most powerful killers in the Temple of Light, and also the most mysterious killer, a killer that even we can't command directly......"

"The greatest killer?" Cohen's eyes projected, "What's your name?"

"Crow!" replied to the right priest, "His name is Crow!"

"Raven, the greatest killer. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of the glass several times before Cohen put the glass to his lips and asked lukewarmly, "Who is he?"

The two priests looked at each other, and they both had a strange attitude towards His Majesty Cohen, how could the killer who had assassinated him not enough to make him curious?

"Returning to Your Majesty, the crow is the number one killer in the temple, and his cultivation of martial arts and magic is quite profound. The right priest thought for a moment and told him everything he knew about the crow: "The sinner doesn't know much about him, except that he doesn't appear often, and only the chief priest can dispatch him, and the tasks assigned to him every year are relatively small. Although they have met me a few times, they have always been covered with a white scarf, and almost no one has ever seen his face. The whereabouts are also very mysterious.,No matter who you are, it's a cold attitude that doesn't like to be followed.。 ”

"Sounds like a funny guy. Cohen nodded slightly: "Even if he has superb martial arts skills and is not comparable to an ordinary killer, but as the highest-level priest of the temple, how can you not be called a killer?"

"It's a bit hard to believe what you say, but it's the truth! In the temple, the only thing we can't summon is this crow. In comparison, I think it's easier to incite the celebrants. Zuo Priest smiled awkwardly: "However, I did hear the Lord Priest complain about something in private, it is about crows." ”

"Hmm, isn't this killer even listening to the orders of the chief priest?" Cohen laughed: "That's strange, where did this killer come from, and he didn't even buy anyone's account." ”

Speaking of which, his origins are also full of mysteries. Speaking of important matters, the left priest habitually looked left and right with a vigilant gaze: "Once, I once heard the chief priest complain, and I can infer from his words...... It seems that even he can't order the crow to do anything. ”

"How do you understand this?" As if hearing something very nonsense, the smile on Cohen's face became even stronger: "Who of you is in charge of whom?"

"Judging from the meaning of the words of the chief priest, the crow's assassination target was directly issued by the Protoss, and he was just relaying the orders of the Protoss. Zuo Matsuri accompanied the smiling face. Explain carefully to His Majesty Cohen: "But the chief priest was very dissatisfied with the crow's cold attitude at that time. He also said that one day he would make the crow bow down to his ears. ”

"The presiding priest is not small!" His Majesty Cohen had already tasted the starting point: "When I went to Paradise Island, the Lord Priest was not so angry...... Did he achieve his goal?"

"That was many years ago, probably not long after I did the Shangzuo Sacrifice. At that time, the priest was a little more short-tempered, and the killer named Raven was not as powerful as he is now. Zuo Priest, who didn't know what the taste of dim sum tasted for a long time, swallowed his saliva: "Many years later, at a certain dinner, the main priest was very happy to show us that he could control the crows......

"Huh, show us?" the right priest interjected, "How did I not know?"

"It's you who don't pay attention to listening. Zuo Sai was furious at the intelligence of this colleague. At that moment, he asked, "Do you remember that on New Year's Eve that year, you, you, and the chief priest were drinking and chatting at the castle by the sea?"

"I ...... Every New Year's Eve we spent our New Year's Eve drinking and chatting at the castle by the sea......"

"That's the time you took the woman!" The left priest was already very angry at the sluggishness of the right priest, and reminded him angrily: "The two women dressed in men's clothes are quite decent to pretend to be waiters...... After that, you even sued and left!"

"Remember, remember......" was scarred by the left priest, and the right priest laughed embarrassedly: "I remember, the chief priest was drunk, and he was holding a wine bottle and chanting poetry loudly, and he was so out of shape." ”

"What else did the Lord Priest say before that?" said the Zuo Priest, looking at His Majesty Cohen. Turning his head and asking the right priest, he was afraid that His Majesty Cohen would not believe that what he said was the truth.

He said...... He said...... "The right priest pondered bitterly. Finally, he remembered the situation and replied loudly, "He said that no one in the temple could disobey his orders!"

Cohen chewed the food in his mouth slowly, and although there was an indifferent look on his face, his mind was carefully analyzing every word of the two. I already knew that the only thing that the main priest could not call in the temple was the crow, but at this time, he said that there was no one in the temple who was not controlled by him, which naturally meant that he had caught the handle of the crow, and the crow had to obey him......

But what could a man like a crow do in the hands of the priest fall into the hands of the priest? a woman? He seems to pay more attention to white water than to women. Or is it some unknown quirk? Bye-on! The crow doesn't care if his fetishes are known, and his cold attitude really makes people shy away. Parents? No, the crows say that the people they hate the most in this life are their parents......

If it weren't for the handle falling into the hands of the priest, there would be only one answer left, and the priest had what the crow wanted. If this is the case, the incomprehensible question arises again, what does a man of the crow's character want, what interests him so much, and what is it that is willing to listen to the priest's command?

In his time with the crows, Cohen knew that he didn't have a good impression of the priest...... Well, he had a bad impression of almost the entire temple.

The fog that hung over this friend seemed to be much thicker than Cohen had originally anticipated.

While Cohen was thinking, the two priests looked intently at His Majesty, waiting for his orders.

Cohen looked up at the sky, and it wasn't far from dawn. Overnight, it is not suitable to ask these two people too many words, they are unstable, and there are bound to be many omissions.

"I called you here today to make you happy and peaceful. Cohen smiled slightly, and the two priests were frightened into a cold sweat: "Seeing you like this, I can't bear to do it...... But what can be done! Young Master Ben has always been soft-hearted. ”

"Thank you Emperor for your forgiveness! Thank you for your grace!" At this time, the words and deeds of the two priests were strikingly similar: "The criminal minister will always feel great gratitude, as long as there is a place where the criminal minister is useful, the criminal minister will definitely do his best to serve the emperor!"

"You've been in the temple for so long, you must have had a lot of feelings, and you must know a lot of things. Cohen stood up and walked up to the two of them, "Sue you!" the Royal Library has lost a lot of lonely books, and the old boy from the head of the school has been pestering me endlessly, and I can't find them for him. ”

"This ......" Zuo Priest didn't understand what Cohen meant, but he knew how to answer so that he wouldn't make a mistake: "Your Majesty the Emperor, please say, I will do it!"

"I mean, you two go and write me all the temple books you've read, so I can take them out and prevaricate the old bastard. Again. I also like to hear all kinds of stories about what happened in the temple......"

"No problem. No problem at all!" The right priest patted his chest and said excitedly: "I know everything about the affairs of the temple, and even the affairs of the temples of various countries, and I am willing to write them all out for His Majesty!"

"Good. His Majesty looked at the left sacrifice again: "What about you?"

"Although the criminal is old, the memory has not faded. Knowing that this is a good time for him to get rid of his bad dreams, Zuo Sai will certainly not let go of such an opportunity: "As long as I can make His Majesty happy, I am willing to write all the classics and documents in the temple, including the inside story of the one qiē I know." ”

"That's a good attitude, but there's a point. Cohen whispered, "That old boy from the dean is an old pedant. If he discovers something wrong and makes Young Master Ben lose face......"

"Absolutely not, absolutely not. The two replied in unison: "Please rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"Okay, I'll believe you once, this is a rare opportunity, don't waste it. I'll decide how you are treated according to the situation, so do your best!"

"Xie Majesty. ”

Cohen clapped his palm, and an officer ran over from a distance.

"Escort them back! Cohen told the officer: "Starting tomorrow, someone will come and record what these two men have said." Now, take them away. ”

"Yes. 陛xià!"

The priest was escorted away, and Cohen returned to the table and sat down. He kept shaking the wine glass in his hand, staring at the red liquid in the glass.

"Go back to your room and rest!" The white shadow on the side softly persuaded Cohen: "It's almost dawn, there are still many things waiting for you to deal with, you have to rest for a while." ”

"I don't understand this question, how can I sleep?" Cohen shook his head and looked up at the sky: "White Shadow, according to your opinion, what does this crow guy want the most?"

"He's your friend, but not mine. Bai Ying replied lightly: "I won't think about his wishes." ”

Unexpectedly, White Shadow replied to himself like this, Cohen shook his head and chuckled a few times.

"Is your habit immutable? Your answer made me feel annoyed and funny at the same time. Cohen looked at the dragon standing beside him: "Crow, this guy is relatively cold, but you've also seen another side of him, he's not a bad person, is he?"

"Good guys and bad guys, it doesn't make a difference to me. White Shadow smiled slightly, joking with Cohen: "If you are not of my race, their hearts will be different." ”

"I'm talking about White Shadow, and you're going to hurt me when you say that. Cohen smiled: "I'm also a human! In the eyes of the extremely arrogant dragons, what is this anomaly?"

"You are already wearing the most precious treasures of the dragon clan, which means that the elders have decided to accept you. Bai Ying replied angrily: "Congratulations, you have long been a member of the extremely arrogant dragon clan. ”

"Huo-the dragon clan really has a set!" Cohen's face was a little surprised: "You want to let Young Master Ben join the gang with one piece of clothing, this price is too small!"

"You're going to hurt us dragons by saying that. Bai Ying stretched out his hand, and spread his slender white palm in front of Cohen: "Don't you want it, give it back to me, I can go back immediately, so as not to be angry with someone every day." ”

During this time, Bai Ying has been by Cohen's side every day, which is hard enough, but what is even harder is that Bai Ying has to lower his head at any time and concentrate on playing the role of a maid. There aren't many opportunities like this right now, where you can talk freely without people.

"Give it back to you? Joke, when did you ever spit it out when you saw me get a benefit?" Cohen himself is also playing a hard role, how can he not know Bai Ying's thoughts, someone accompanied him to "talk nonsense" He couldn't be happier, and made a look of lust at the moment: "I said Miss Bai Ying, you actually asked me to take off my clothes in front of you and give it to you...... Can I think that you have been attracted by the charm of Young Master Ben, and you can't help falling in love with Young Master Ben, and you were teasing me with words just now?"

"You ......" Bai Ying froze: "You are simply misinterpreting my words." ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm thinking about you from the perspective of a normal man. Cohen snorted, "And a very cultured aristocratic man, isn't that what you have always hoped for?"

White Shadow raised his head and stopped answering Cohen's words.

"Okay, I know you already have the answer in mind, sit down and talk about it. Cohen stopped joking and ate the snack piece by piece: "You can think about it, because the crow's wish has now become my doubt, and I have to figure it out." ”

The white shadow gathered the hem of her skirt and sat down opposite Cohen: "A white dress, a glass of water, a few loaves of bread, these are the things that the crow needs every day, he is a man who has no hobbies, and so far, I have not found any other quirks in him." So what such a person wants should not be purely materialistic, right?"

"Well said!" Cohen slapped the table: "I don't need to say this again, I've figured it out." ”

"What did you think of?"

"I can't say it yet, it's just my judgment and intuition. Cohen looked serious: "But I have other questions, do you think crows are very powerful?"

"Where?"

"Of course, it's martial arts, the killer's ability to eat. ”

"If you look at martial arts and magic alone, he's very powerful, at least I've never seen anyone more powerful. White Shadow remembered the scene when the crow assassinated Cohen that day, although it had been more than half a month, he still felt uneasy in his heart: "He can catch up with you under such a tight attack, his ability can be described as terrifying, I can't imagine how he survived." Although he was treated by a magician, his injuries were not serious, and he did not get up the next day. (To be continued......)
