Working Prophet

After capturing Herodotus, Juan not only did not relax, but he became very energetic. He immediately rushed to the Scaled City with his people without stopping.

They rested only four times along the way, and ate only the dry food they brought with them. They tried their best to avoid interacting with the lords along the way. They only showed a letter written by High Priest Quintus and asked for passage when they were stopped.

In this way, it only took six days to arrive at Duolin City.

The moment he saw the city wall, Juan's tense heart was finally relieved.

He sent someone to notify High Priest Quintus and Lord Shapiro in advance. At this moment, both of them had arrived outside the city, and behind them were the guards of the Raimondi family, a total of three hundred people. .

Juan asked the others to stay where they were, and he walked over with Herodotus.

After Herodotus was arrested, except for the first day when he was more interested in the sacred artifact of the Shuangxiu Church carried by Juan and asked a few more questions, he behaved very quietly afterwards.

Only then did he speak again, "It seems we are about to part ways, knight."

Juan ignored it.

Herodotus didn't care and continued, "Send hello to your lord for me and tell her that I look forward to meeting her again. By then we will decide the ownership of the Western Territory."

Juan said, "There will be no next encounter. Do you think you can survive after being sent to the Scaled City? Besides, Sir Ilea is different from you. She doesn't have your greed and will not betray the Figuerola family." .”

"Really? What about Prophet Merlin? He is also content with the status quo and has no ambitions?" Herodotus smiled.

Juan was silent.

Herodotus said no more, followed Juan and dismounted and came to the presence of High Priest Quintus and Lord Shapiro.

Herodotus first looked at Quintus and said with approval, "Are you in charge of the Silver Moon Church now? Well done, you caught me. They should have made you the high priest sooner."

Then he looked at Shapiro aside and said, "Are you..."

"Your nightmare, you murdered my father and brother, now it's time to pay off your debt." A sinister smile appeared on Shapiro's face.

"Oh, you are now the lord of the Scaled City, shouldn't you thank me for this?" Herodotus asked.

"I like your sense of humor, really, because you will definitely need it later." Shapiro said while adjusting Herodotus' collar.

After speaking, he leaned into Herodotus' ear and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.

"As for my father and brother, I do have to thank you, but you know, I have to be a little angry in front of outsiders, so until the trial, you and I will still have a very pleasant time. .

"I won't kill you, but I promise you will beg me to kill you when the time comes."

After saying that, he asked the guards behind him to take Herodotus to the dungeon under the castle.

High Priest Quintus expressed his gratitude to Juan and invited them to participate in the celebration banquet in the evening, but Juan declined.

The latter said that he had been away from Green Field for a while, and he and his men hoped to go back as soon as possible.

High Priest Quintus did not force it. Juan and others were all believers of the Shuangqiu Church. It was indeed a bit embarrassing to participate in the celebration banquet held by the Silver Moon Church. It was not only embarrassing for them, but also for other people at the banquet.

Moreover, because of the common enemy Herodotus, the relationship between the Silver Moon Church and the Shuangxiu Church had eased. Even if Hells hinted to Quintus to find a way to curb the development of the Shuangxiu Church, Quintus just pretended not to have heard it. .

But now that Herodotus has been arrested, double holidays will become a thorn in the side of the Silver Moon Church again.

Quintus asked someone to take out three thousand golden lions and give them to Juan as a reward for capturing Herodotus.

After the latter took the money, he stopped the high priest who was about to leave, "Why don't you kill him now?"

"What?" Quintus stopped.

"Why not just kill Herodotus?" Juan said, "If it were me, I wouldn't let such a guy live even one more night."

"Silver Moon Church has church rules," Quintus explained, "This is also the biggest difference between us and Herodotus. We cannot take away a person's life without trial, even if the person is heinous.

"Besides, there are still many remnants of the Blood Moon Society outside. In addition, I heard that Herodotus is also in contact with the traitors Hugo and Ilkand. We still have many things to ask him.

"Of course the trial will not take too long. The trial date has been set, just one month from now. If Sir Ilea is interested, she can also come and observe."

Juan nodded, "I will take your words back." Then he got on his horse and left with the rest of the people.

After returning to Teacup Castle, Juan completely narrated to the female lord what had happened in the past few days, including what Herodotus and Quintus said to him outside the Scaled City.

Miss Rabbit was startled after hearing this, "Herodotus said that when he and I meet again, he will decide the ownership of the Western Territory?"

"These are his exact words."

"That guy is too arrogant. Where did he leave the Figuerola family? They are the real masters of the Western Territory. Everyone in this land thinks so."

"That's what I answered him too, saying that you will not betray the Figuerola family."

Miss Rabbit nodded, and said after a while, "Herodotus also said that the prophet Merlin also wanted the Western Territory... Do you think this is credible?"

"I think he said this just to sow discord between you and the Prophet Merlin. You don't need to take it to heart."

"No, you misunderstood me. I didn't doubt the Prophet Merlin. I just realized that Merlin also has thoughts about the Western Territory. Well, he did say that he hoped that more people would come to believe in Shuangxiu Sect..."

Miss Rabbit touched her chin, "If I can help him win the Western Territory, then will he..."

Juan was startled, "Lord Ilea, do you want to replace the Figuerola family and become the new master of the Western Territory?"

"No, I just want to have a good chat with Hulse when he comes back, and see if he can be persuaded to support the Shuangxiu Church to replace the Silvermoon Church. Why do you all always feel that I really want to replace the Figueirola family? "

"Did anyone else say that but me?"

"Angela, she thinks that I set up the movie viewing party for this purpose." The female lord waved her hand, "Forget it, that child's brain is not very good all the time, so don't take it to heart."

Juan sorted out his words in his mind, and persuaded, "Don't go to Lord Hells, he is very wary of you now, and he certainly doesn't want the Shuangxiu religion to develop too fast in the western region, let alone replace it. Silver Moon Church.”

"Well, you're right, I just wanted to ask."
