The Great Conqueror

"It's unreasonable, a little priest dares to be mad at me!" Lance walked back and forth in the room, with a ferocious expression like a volcano about to erupt!

Relying on the influence behind these years, when would someone dare to embarrass him like this, the adoptive father of the chief priest in red! Anyone who dares to touch me is planning to burn him to death?

No matter how angry Tie Mu was, he was one of his own after all, and he could fight or kill him, but if a little priest did it, the taste would be completely different.

Arthur! If I don't kill you, the word Lance won't have to hang around in Shenyao Province anymore.

"Come on!" Lance roared, "Send my letter to Consul Sara and ask him to let him go!"

...

The violent sun shot down from the sky, and in the main square of Jerusalem, Baron Lance's confidant lackey Tie Mu was tied to a huge cross and was exposed to the scorching sun.

Sweat dripped from his feet, attracting countless flies.

"See? This is the fate of offending the priest and the beast god!"

Luman of the Bill tribe was dressed like a mummy, but he was full of energy, with one hand on his waist, spitting and yelling at Tie Mu's crimes to the crowd of onlookers.

The surrounding crowd formed a thick circle in the square, pointing and discussing from time to time.

There are many people who like to watch the excitement no matter where they are.

On the cross, Tie Mu lowered his head, his chapped lips were spitting vicious curses nervously.

"You bastards, Baron Lance will definitely save me, and you will all regret it! And you, Arthur, when I have a chance..."

A fierce debate is taking place in the Council Hall not far from the Municipal Square.

"Damn! That Arthur is too arrogant! He even dared to offend the adopted son of the cardinal and the nephew of the governor! Bind his people to the stake and burn them to death. Isn't this hitting Baron Lance, no, is it hitting the governor in the face?"

"Yeah, I really don't know how to advance and retreat. No matter what conflicts we have, we can't do everything. After all, we are the governor. If we really want to do it, we will never die!"

"Did he consider us, the people of Jerusalem, when he did this? Did he consider our position? It's just too..."

"Shh, whisper! Consul Sarah is here! Let's see what he says."

At the same time, in the main hall of the temple, the nine priests, as well as the high priest Thomas, Arthur, and the priests on duty in the temple all gathered together. The core of the discussion was the unexpected conflict with Baron Lance.

In the unspeakable silence, the priests looked at me and I looked at you, and no one wanted to be the first to speak.

"Priest Arthur was a little too impulsive this time," Manila said lightly, "But something has happened, let's talk about what to do."

It's been a while since he became the chief priest in red, and his power and majesty are increasing day by day. One sentence is equivalent to finalizing Arthur's affairs.

Generally speaking, now is a sensitive period for tax conversion, and it is too late for the consul to offend so much, it is simply an excuse for the other party, but it is another matter when it happens to Arthur.

"Priest Arthur, you are indeed a bit reckless, I wonder if you can soften it up a bit?" said Priest Manila.

Some thoughtful people began to speculate secretly.

"No matter what, the dignity of priests and beast gods cannot be desecrated. Even if I do it again, I will not regret my decision." Zou Liang said firmly, "I will be responsible for the priests under me."

This is tantamount to telling everyone clearly: that kid hit my person, I will get back the place.

"Disregarding the overall situation!" Thomas snorted coldly.

Anyone who really knows the inside story knows that both the master and the apprentice are typical cunning and cunning. Don't look at Thomas' hard-spoken words, and I'm afraid he doesn't even have a trace of blame in his heart.

The reason why he gave Arthur a bad look was also to protect him. If he criticized, others should stop talking too much. Thomas has been immersed in power for many years, and after becoming the high priest in red, Thomas became more familiar with it.

In fact, the love for Arthur within the temple accounted for more. Although the child had a lot of problems and was a little arrogant, it was mainly for the outside world, and because of him, the Jerusalem Temple had the status it has today. No one in the temple would talk too much about such trivial matters.

"Tie Mu blatantly beat the priest. This is blasphemy. Burning him at the stake has made him cheaper. I think the person in charge behind the scenes should also be held accountable!" Maru stood up and said, one sentence shocked everyone. Maru's priest is the vanguard of Arthur, and touching Arthur is like killing him.

Thomas and Arthur looked at each other, they didn't expect the old Maru to be more radical than them, killing Tie Mu would be fine, but for Lance, there must be other ways, at least not to move on the table, to save some face for the governor and the high priest in red.

Struggles cannot be arbitrarily expanded, and should be gradual.

While the priests below were having various thoughts, a priest guarding the gate hurried in and said, "My lords, the Sara consul at the city hall has sent someone to call for an urgent city hall meeting!"

coming!

All the priests present were tense. It seemed that Baron Lance had already made a move. Because of Arthur, the temple had to confront the consul at such a critical moment.

Some people sigh in their hearts, while others are secretly happy. No matter what kind of thoughts they have, they still have to move on to the next thing. Arthur, Thomas and the other nine priests rushed towards the council hall together.

The sky in Jerusalem suddenly became gloomy, and there seemed to be a dull pressure that was about to rain.

But this kind of pressure is only for others. Zou Liang feels that he is completely a fighting material. Not only is there no pressure, but he is looking forward to it. What kind of performance can the opponent have?

Thomas saw the light in Arthur's eyes, this child was born for this world...

...

Consul Sarah sat at her desk, thinking.

There are two letters at hand, one is from the governor of the province, Mr. Van der Sar, and the other is a letter from the grand consul forwarded by Mr. Van der Sar.

No matter which one, there is only one core content - trying to create some troubles for the temple.

After all, it is an order issued by the Council of Elders. Power struggles are all about art and skill, but if you force it, you are fighting against the entire system.

Sarah threw it casually and didn't care at all. He was wearing a red-clothed high priest on his head, and failure was a matter of course.

Making trouble... These four words are worth playing with. He gave a signal, and Arthur also responded very clearly. Sarah knew that once this road was gone, there was no turning back, but since he turned the corner, he felt much better.

As the most direct competitor of the temple, Sara seriously thought about all the things that happened over the past year, and in the end it all came down to this young Bill.

It is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as turning hands into clouds and covering hands as rain.

But this is just one factor that Sara wants to get closer to. I am relying on the strength of the opponent, and I am valuable, but after all, I am not my own. Sara wants to break through and build up, but she also needs to find someone with a future. Arthur is a person who cherishes love and nostalgia. It can be shown from his help to Maru and his reaction to the warsong priest after being beaten.

A smart person expresses some things with just the right amount of recklessness, this kind of talent is the most powerful, and also the kind most worth getting close to.

And Sara is sure that the other party also needs her own support.

A stable rear is better than constant opponents to toss.

Sara destroyed the two letters casually, and fell into thinking for a while. Not long after, the secretary came in to inform that all members of the Council of Elders had arrived.

"Then...let's have a meeting first!"

It's an interesting fight, and he's looking forward to the other side's performance.

...

Sam Anton, the head of the Soul Engravers Guild in Jerusalem, fell into deep thought as he looked at his subordinates' reports.

From his feeling, Arthur's matter was indeed a little rough, and he was a bit disregarding the overall situation.

At the level of Jerusalem City, it doesn't matter if you are a bit arrogant, after all, your power and strength have arrived, but who is Baron Lance?

On the back is the governor of the province, and there is also the adoptive father of the chief priest in red. If even a person of this level moves, it is a bit too much, and it touches the unspoken rules of the entire system.

"This matter will not be so easy to let go."

Sam Anton felt intuitively that the vortex of struggle had just begun.

But the most important question now is, in this matter, how should the Soul Engraving Masters Guild stand in line and how to get the most benefits. Suddenly, Sam Anton smiled...Little fox...this is a bit of a level.

"President, the Sara Consul sent someone to invite you to join the Council of Elders."

coming! The play begins!

Sam Ann suddenly stood up.

At the same time, Reynolds, the president of the Jerusalem Shadow Hunting Association, and Stanford, the president of the Jerusalem Archers Association, all received the notification.

It started. Every time there is such excitement, it will give some people some expectations. Is this an opportunity for Arthur to be unlucky?

Some people who are not willing to be lonely will jump out, some people will choose to stand in line again, everything, wait and see.

Jerusalem Samoa town hall meeting.

The spacious conference hall has a dignified atmosphere. Sara, the consul who represented the highest executive power in the city, and Thomas, the chief priest in red, who represented the temple, sat at both ends of the long conference table.

In the middle of the conference table sat the presidents and representatives of the Engravers Guild and other professional guilds, as well as representatives of the local family of Jerusalem.

Although it was just an inconspicuous little friction at first, it was destined to be a cruel invisible war involving the forces behind the two sides.

"let's start!"

Consul Sara coughed lightly, glanced at High Priest Thomas Red Clothes inquiringly, and then made the usual opening remarks.

"Today's temporary meeting is about the resolution of Baron Lance's subordinate Tie Mu. The temple side understands the situation better. Sir Thomas, what do you think?"

Thomas swept across the audience slowly, "Arthur, you caused this, please tell me."

The eyes of dozens of people at the scene all focused on Zou's face. To be honest, although I have attended meetings of the Council of Elders before, and I have even seen them on occasions where the Pope and people with higher powers were added, but such silent and dignified meetings like today are rare.

(oh god, it's only 9 votes away from the snail, brothers and sisters, can you do it?)
