Working Prophet

Torres also knew that the female lord was telling the truth. Ilea had just come to the camp to find him, and the three young wolves came after hearing the news. It was obvious that they had planned it.

Torres then asked the girl, "Have you ever offended anyone? I'm not talking about the Western Region, but the Royal Capital..."

"Let me think about it, Geoff. That guy's name seems to be that. He is the special envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor to summon me to the royal capital, but he wants to take this opportunity to make a fortune from me, and I don't agree. , scolded him directly and left, he threatened me before leaving."

"Geof." Torres felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before, and he recalled it carefully for a while before he remembered it.

"Is he from the royal family? But fortunately, he is probably just a very remote branch of the Vespasian family. Your Majesty has so many poor relatives like this, some of whom can barely even eat.

"Geoff got a job through his sister. This man's reputation has never been very good. Just because he has a little bit of royal blood, he brags everywhere. Many people who have just arrived in the king's capital don't understand the situation. They were all deceived by him, and there were rumors of him blackmailing others before.

"But don't worry, he should just intimidate you, make more troubles, and have no ability to really retaliate against you." Torres heaved a sigh of relief and comforted him.

As a result, Torres was startled when he saw Ilea still looking at him, "Is there more?"

"Well, the priest of Cornelia should be counted as one."

Torres took a breath, "Life Church?! How did you provoke the Life Church!"

"Didn't Your Majesty want to build a statue for the Goddess of Life? I want everyone to donate together. I think the money is too much, so I didn't donate." Miss Rabbit said, "And I am a believer on Saturday, donating money to Vallia. What kind of?"

"Did the other nobles in the western region donate too?"

"I donated it because the areas I didn't donate were plagued by rats. The remaining people were frightened and had no choice but to pay the money."

"Is there still such a thing? What about our territory, has it been ruined by rats like this?"

"How is it possible, with the prophet Merlin and my lord on Saturday, the mere mouse is not their opponent at all, and the man behind the mouse has also been caught, and now he is still working for the weekend church to pay off the debt."

Torres didn't know what to say for a moment.

He also knew from Ilea's letter that his niece was very bold, abandoning the family's centuries-old tradition and switching from Pisiya to Saturday.

Like many people, he tried to persuade the girl at the time, but in the end the new head of the Arias family insisted on his own way.

But it turns out that her choice was not wrong.

The Arias family developed rapidly under her leadership, and even His Majesty the Emperor on the Bone Throne noticed her.

And in the battle with Hercules just now, Torres also witnessed how powerful Saturday was.

To be able to endow the girl with divine power and defeat an opponent who was several times stronger than her, this also had a very strong impact on the heart of Torres, who was watching the battle from the sidelines!

After all, Torres left his hometown since he was a child and came to the capital with his teacher. Over the past ten years, he has been practicing hard and honing his martial arts, which is why he has the strength he has today.

And when he brought himself into that battle, he found that his fate might not be any different from that of Hercules.

This feeling, as if something he regarded as a treasure, had been stepped on by someone, filling Torres's heart with bitterness.

But he soon realized that he had strayed a little bit, and came back to his senses and said, "I know that the prophet Merlin is not easy, but the priest of Cornelia will only be more terrifying."

"Forget about freckles and Hercules, the young wolf looks carefree on the surface, but as the grandson of a wise man, he is not as reckless as he appears.

"Even if His Majesty is upset that you canonized him as a dragon-slaying knight. But with his prudence, he shouldn't be the first to jump out at you. There must be a master messenger behind him. Geoff is only a small role in the capital, and he can command I can’t move these noble young men of the Royal Knights, so..."

"So those three idiots who came to provoke me were probably under the instruction of Priest Cornelia." Miss Rabbit said thoughtfully.

"That's right." Torres looked serious, "After all, the capital is the site of the Church of Life. Many nobles here now believe in Vallia, and Priest Cornelia is the most trusted person of His Majesty. Her words, It can determine the fate of many people."

As they talked, the two of them had arrived at the entrance of the stride hotel.

Torres seemed to want to say something more, but after hesitating for a while, he finally said, "You must be tired after driving such a long distance, eat something first, and you can rest early tonight.

After saying that, he looked at the girl again, "Ilea, are you going to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow?"

"Yes, uncle."

"Then after you see His Majesty, I will take you to visit Lionheart Castle again. We can go to Pigeon Square to taste the pork pie there, and then go to Shoemaker Street to buy you a pair of new boots. Let’s take a look at home, there are often troupe performances there.”

"sounds good."

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, uncle."

When the back of the royal knight disappeared at the end of the street, the guard captain on the side sighed, "Sir Torres, he has really changed a lot."

"Yes, I heard from Aunt Marina that you and your uncle were playmates when they were young."

Ilea actually didn't have a deep impression of this uncle. The main reason was that Torres left Teacup Castle very early and went to the royal capital to learn to become a knight, and he almost never returned home.

There is very little interaction between the two.

Instead, Thomas, who was older, played with Torres for a while.

Thomas had a look of nostalgia on his face, "How should I put it, Lord Torres was, well... maybe a little naughty at that time. He asked us to play the role of lizard men in the swamp, while he himself was the knight.

“He often fought with one against many, and we fought all day long. No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would always get up quickly and continue fighting with high energy, regardless of the bruises on his body and face.

"It also makes those of us who play with him always get scolded by Aunt Marina, but Mr. Torres will say at this time that the man of the Arias family, this mere injury is nothing, let's come back tomorrow and make Aunt Marina angry Not light.

"By the way, when he just turned ten, he approached your father and said that he wanted to compete with Lord Russ. If he won, he would be the head of the Arias family. As a result, Lord Russ was I was beaten so hard that I couldn't get out of bed for half a month."

"In short, Mr. Torres at that time seemed to be full of energy every day, as if he was not afraid of anything. I didn't expect that when I saw him after so many years, he would become so..."

"Afraid of hands and feet?"

"I want to be cautious. I really don't know how he got here in the king all these years."

"Heh, looking at the faces of the three guys before, I know that there must be many guys in the Royal Knights who are not very strong, but arrogant and domineering.

"But it doesn't matter. Now that I'm here, as the head of the Arias family, I will protect Torres, just like my father did. I will not allow anyone to bully my clan again."

Thomas couldn't help being a little moved when he heard the words, and looked at the female lord with reverence in his eyes.

Although Miss Rabbit is not tall and her fists are not very hard, her image suddenly grew taller in the eyes of the captain after she said this sentence.

But soon he heard the female lord mumbling again, "Where is Merlin, why hasn't Merlin come yet? What if the assassin comes again at night?"

Scratching your head, there is only one update today, adjust your schedule, and continue to work hard next month.
