Beast Summoner
Chapter 1595: The High Priest's Guess
Returning to Qiang Cao's small courtyard again, Gu Ci became much silent. Li Zhenbang did not explain anything to Gu Ci, but returned to his room and lay on the bed to rest.
Don't think that Li Zhenbang is really taking a rest. He is actually thinking about how to take every next step. In a place like this, there is no room for carelessness and no room for mistakes.
The purpose of his coming to the Divine Mansion is not to be the Holy Son, but to rescue his sister Li Ruoyue. It would be great if he could take the opportunity to destroy the Divine Mansion, kill a large number of people from the Spirit Tribe, and even hurt the High Priest of the Undead!
Li Zhenbang's refusal to accept Gu Jun's subordinates was not impulsive, nor was it because of loyalty as he said.
The so-called loyalty is inherently relative. If he has enough strength and deterrence, how can there be betrayal? If there is no betrayal, then it is loyalty. If he wants strength but not strength, and wants deterrence but not deterrence, then there is no loyalty.
?If they don’t sell you, they are already showing some mercy to you!
There are two main reasons why Li Zhenbang did not accept Gu Jun's subordinates. One is because he knew that those people who wanted to submit could not be persuaded with just one or two sentences. Even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of speaking power, they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
He still had the upper hand, and since he killed Gu Jun, it was impossible for those people to accept him immediately.
The other reason is because he really doesn't want those people in his heart, just because they are Gu Jun's people, especially because some of these people were his sister's accomplices when he was taken away.
Li Zhenbang is not a saint who repays kindness with kindness. All he has to do is to retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood. No matter whether they are active or passive, they all deserve to die.
It's not like Li Zhenbang never thought about killing them with his own hands, but he couldn't do it when he just killed Gu Jun, and he didn't want to do it with his own hands.
Killing is easy, but killing someone to kill someone's heart is what Li Zhenbang wants to do most. For the harm they have caused to his family, to himself, and to his sister Li Ruoyue, he will avenge them a thousandfold.
He deliberately said that they were disloyal, mainly to tell others, to be precise, to the high priest. He didn't even bother to take in people who came to his door. Even if the high priest wanted to take them in again, he had to carefully consider the impact.
The Holy Son discarded it like a rag, but the High Priest took it as a treasure. Wouldn't the High Priest be picking up Li Zhenbang's wisdom? Even if the High Priest gained the man, he would have lost his prestige. Doing such a thing would be very difficult for the High Priest.
Say, it's really not worth it.
If Li Zhenbang's prediction is correct, the high priest should not have any more ideas about Gu Jun's subordinates. At most, he will extend an olive branch to a few of them who are very fond of him. As for the others, he will just let them fend for themselves.
Self-destruction, unless Li Zhenbang turns around and continues to fight, but Li Zhenbang will definitely not look back.
In the end, Gu Ci's prophecy came true. The high priest no longer paid attention to Gu Jun's men and only recruited the two people he liked. Li Zhenbang did not make any move.
Without the attention of the High Priest and the Holy Son, the other forces swarmed in like flies that smelled of rotten eggs.
It is said that some people were killed in the process, but the strange thing is that the high priest did not hold the murderers accountable, as if he didn't know at all.
Due to the high priest's resignation and inaction, many of Gu Jun's men were killed and injured, and the rest basically became vassals or even slaves of other forces.
It's just that when all this happened, Gu Ci was no longer in the Divine Mansion and knew nothing about it. This is all a story for later.
In the Temple of Death, the high priest was standing motionless with his hands behind his hands, his back facing the door of the Temple of Death. He didn't know whether he was thinking about something or was distracted.
Suddenly, a figure flashed across the door of the Temple of Death, and the figure approached the high priest quietly, but the high priest seemed not to notice it at all.
The figure suddenly stopped when he was about five steps away from the high priest, then bowed and said: "High priest, my subordinate is back."
The high priest did not turn around, but nodded slightly, and then asked in a calm voice: "Who did they secretly go to see?"
"This is the most confusing part for my subordinates. They didn't go to meet anyone who was famous or powerful, nor did they meet anyone related to them. What they used to meet in one night were sentries at many outposts.
." The figure said very puzzledly.
"Sentinel?" The high priest frowned slightly.
"Yes, it's the sentry. The Holy Son and the sentry said something together. The subordinates were afraid of exposing their whereabouts, so they stayed a little far away and didn't hear clearly."
"But after the Holy Son left, my subordinates had already asked the sentinels to inquire. It was just that some parents were short-lived. The Holy Son also asked about some of their needs and said that he would help them reflect it. It felt like they were there to express condolences," the figure explained.
.
The high priest's eyes narrowed slightly. He was still very clear about the figure's style of doing things. The sentinels he had questioned must have disappeared mysteriously in the end, and no information would be leaked.
It's just that what the Holy Son did made him very confused. Could it be that the Holy Son still wanted to rely on those sentries to fight against him? It was a joke!
The most powerful among the sentinels are only the golden warriors and the seventh-level great magicians, and their numbers are not many.
Another thing is that these people are relatively clean and have almost no identity background, otherwise they would not be sent to serve as sentries on the periphery.
Not only are there no benefits to being sentinels, but they are occasionally bullied by some people with status and status, but they still stick to their posts. To put it bluntly, they are a group of people who are frustrated in the Divine Palace, but do not want to leave the Divine Palace.
.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in the head of the high priest, and he remembered that some of the sentinels were temporary. Those people were people with status and backgrounds like Gu Ci, but they were punished to serve as sentinels for a period of time because they did something wrong.
But such people are in the minority after all, and the people behind them will find a way for them, and will send them out to do the task soon. After the task is completed, they will naturally no longer need to be sentinels, and will be transferred back to their senses directly.
The house is over.
"At the outposts they went to today, were there any people on duty there who were punished?" the high priest asked.
The figure pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yes, of the outposts they went to today, there are a total of four people who were punished to be on duty there, and two of them will soon be transferred back to the God's Mansion."
"These two people are from Pan Minghan and Yoshihara Ryuichi, and the other two are from Pop and Condra." The figure obviously understood what the high priest meant.
"Is there anything unusual about the four of them?" the high priest asked.
"I'm sorry, my subordinate didn't think that much at the time. He only wanted to supervise the Holy Son. He was afraid of losing him and also wanted to avoid being discovered, so he didn't do any in-depth investigation."
"But before my subordinates left, I didn't notice any unusual behavior from those people. As for what happened after my subordinates followed the Holy Son after he left, I don't know." The figure's voice was full of guilt, and he obviously didn't do anything for the elder.
The priest sharing his worries made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's not your fault. I asked you to follow the Holy Son. It's already very good that you can do this. You are doing the right thing. If the Holy Son discovers it, he will definitely do it more secretly in the future. That's when the time comes.
It's really troublesome." The high priest did not blame the figure, but expressed relief. It seemed that he still valued the figure very much.
"Thank you to the high priest for your forgiveness. I will definitely pay more attention to you in the future!" the figure said with some excitement.
"It's okay to pay attention, but don't do too much. Just do what I tell you to do well. As for other things, I have my own arrangements." The high priest shook his head.
"No matter what happens, no matter what happens in the future, don't make any decisions. Especially you can't conflict with the Holy Son, at least not yet. Do you understand?" the high priest warned in a serious voice.
"Don't worry, high priest, I understand!" The figure trembled and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, lowering his head to express his attitude to the high priest.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm doing this for your own good. After all, the Holy Son is the son of the God of Death. Although he hasn't accepted the inheritance yet, his various performances can basically confirm his identity. Even I can't touch him easily.
Him." The high priest's tone became gentler, and his voice became softer.
"I understand, high priest, please rest assured that my subordinates will strictly abide by their duties and will not do anything out of the ordinary!" The figure once again expressed his loyalty.
"Of course I feel relieved about you! By the way, do you think they will go out tonight?" The high priest turned around, looked at the figure and asked softly, with a rare tenderness and love in his eyes.
"If nothing else happens, they should still go out. I heard from the Holy Son himself that they will continue to visit outposts they have never been to at night these days." The figure answered without any hesitation.
The candlelight in the Death Temple swayed and shone on the figure's face. The figure's brows actually bore a three-point resemblance to the high priest.
The high priest wanted to raise his hand to pat the figure's shoulder, but in the end he did not raise his hand and just said softly: "Thank you, you have been busy all night, go back and rest!"
"Yes! I'm resigning!" The figure slowly stood up and disappeared in a flash.
In the Temple of Death, the candlelight kept swaying, and the high priest's shadow was stretched very long, and as the candlelight kept swaying, the high priest stood there motionless, looking empty.
I was lost in thought at the gate, not knowing what I was thinking.
"Alas!" I don't know how long it took, the high priest suddenly sighed. The swaying candles in the Temple of Death suddenly stopped shaking, and then all of them went out suddenly. The Temple of Death, which was brightly lit just now, instantly became
The dark silence...
