Working Prophet

Juan and others left for about a week. According to the request of High Priest Quintus, they did not make any fanfare and walked very quietly.

Even the flag of the Arias family was not displayed, and Miss Rabbit only announced that they were sending them to escort an important person to the Golden Valley.

And Donia of the Singleton family did not appear in the green field again in the past few days, so most people thought that the important person was her.

It was not until a week later that the female lord and Juan contacted each other again through the radio station.

The voice of the latter was so excited that it even trembled a little, "I...we caught him, we caught him! We caught him!!! Lady Ilea."

Miss Rabbit was already drowsy from the charcoal fire in the basin, but after Juan repeated that sentence three times, she immediately regained her spirits and said excitedly.

"You succeeded?! Really, you caught Herodotus?"

"It's true, High Priest Quintus has found several people who used to know Herodotus to confirm that it is indeed Herodotus himself, not a substitute.

"We found him in a small village, which was an important stronghold of the Blood Moon Society, but Herodotus was very cunning. He launched seven high priests instead of him to preach secretly in various places, inciting riots, but he hid It does not appear in front of others, and will change its hiding spots from time to time.

"In this way, the lords of the western region can only catch missionary priests at most, but they have nothing to do with Herodotus, and even if the seven high priests are captured and killed, Herodotus can still choose new ones.

"This time, thanks to the internal agents sent by High Priest Quintus to infiltrate the Blood Moon Society, otherwise it would be too difficult to catch Herodotus."

Juan said, "Now we are escorting Herodotus towards the Scaled City, where the Silver Moon Church will judge him."

"Well, I understand, then you should be careful on the road."

After turning off the radio, Miss Rabbit still couldn't calm down.

For more than a year, Herodotus has been like a nightmare to the nobles in the Western Region.

He rebelled against the Silver Moon Church and established the Blood Moon Society. He single-handedly caused the tragedy in Scaled City and poisoned the remaining high priests of the church and many nobles to death.

Forcibly distorting the "Silver Moon Sacred Scripture" and transforming the new church into an extremist organization full of hatred and bigotry.

Using intimidation, assassination, poisoning and other means to arbitrarily eliminate dissidents, the entire Western Territory is shrouded in a shadow of terror.

But now this bloody monster was finally caught, and the process was so smooth, Miss Rabbit couldn't help feeling unreal.

But when I think that the High Priest Quintus has been planning for this matter for almost a year, and even sent an agent to infiltrate the Blood Moon Society to find ways to get close to Herodotus, in exchange for such a precious opportunity to make a move, it is also possible to succeed in the end Not a surprising thing.

Many people despise Quintus because of his background and his dark-skinned old farmer's face, and feel that he is not as good as High Priest Martina in terms of reputation, and inferior to High Priest Reeves in terms of strategy.

But Quintus also has one advantage that neither of the above two can match, and that is his tenacity.

The grass looks very inconspicuous, but it can grow on the hard rock wall and crack the nearby rocks little by little.

And Quintus also relied on this tenacity to catch Herodotus, who no one else could catch.

The latter's hands and feet were now firmly tied with iron chains, and he was sitting on a big horse.

Juan and the female lord ended the call and came back, got on their horses, and sat behind Herodotus, while the cavalry of the Arias family surrounded the two of them.

Juan warned Herodotus, "Don't play tricks, and don't expect your followers to take you away. I have obtained the permission of the high priest Quintus. Once the situation is critical, I can choose not to bring you back to the multi-scale Cheng, I will execute you directly.”

Although Herodotus was arrested, he did not show much panic after the initial shock. Instead, he spoke with interest.

"What did you do just now? I saw you seemed to be talking to the air."

"This has nothing to do with you." Juan said.

Herodotus looked at the soldier behind him and the package he was carrying on his back.

"That's the sacred weapon of Shuangxiu Cult, right? You were talking to people just now using that sacred weapon. Let me guess who is talking to you. Is it Merlin?"

"I told you, this has nothing to do with you. You'd better keep your mouth shut from now on until the scaly city."

Juan was very cautious and sent two small teams to explore the area to confirm that there was no danger before leading everyone on the road.

But after walking a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

Those who stopped them were the villagers of that village, including men and women, including old people and children. Many of them had weapons in their hands.

"Sir Juan, they are all soldiers of the Blood Moon Society. Just kill them all." A priest from the Silver Moon Church next to him said.

That was the man sent by High Priest Quintus to assist in the arrest. His name was Jacques, who was previously a student of Herodotus.

Juan frowned when he heard this. Although the group of villagers in front of him came with bad intentions, the weapons in their hands were very crude and almost all were farm tools.

And with such a big age difference, it was clear that they were just ordinary villagers, not warriors, so Juan didn't want to do anything to them.

However, if they refused to get out of the way, or took the initiative to attack in order to save people, then Juan would have to give an order to attack to his subordinates.

When the atmosphere became more and more tense, Herodotus suddenly coughed lightly and said to Juan.

"Can I say a few words to them? Don't worry, I'm not asking for help. Besides, they are not your opponents. They can't save me at all. They just die in vain."

"I thought you didn't care about other people's lives." Juan said.

"Of course I care." Herodotus smiled, "It's just that sometimes we have to make some sacrifices. Although I kill a lot of people, they all have a purpose. I also hate meaningless deaths. As it is now."

Juan didn't know how much of what the man in front of him said was true or false, but since it was possible to avoid conflict, he acquiesced to Herodotus' proposal.

Even the reining horse took a few steps forward.

Herodotus spoke and said warmly, "My children, listen to me and go back. This is the will of the goddess. You don't need to worry, because this is just the last darkness before the dawn..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a "snap", and the whip hit Herodotus' body, leaving a bloodstain on his chest.

Jacques then shouted, "Death is imminent, Herodotus, you traitor, are still talking nonsense, using the name of the goddess to deceive these ignorant farmers!"

Herodotus looked back at Jacques. He didn't say anything, but Jacques still felt inexplicably panic, but he quickly suppressed the panic.

Herodotus was no longer his teacher, and was already a prisoner of the church. He didn't have many days to live. There was no need for him to be afraid when facing a dying person.

So he stared back, only to find that Herodotus had already retracted his gaze and looked at the villagers again, "Let's go, don't disobey the goddess's will."

The villagers looked at each other, and finally retreated to the side, making way for Juan and others to leave.

There is still only one update today. Is it the college entrance examination tomorrow? I wish you all the best for the college entrance examination.
