God's descent ceremony!
That madman, Earl of Tulip!
He was actually cooperating with the Blood Demon Cult to prepare for the God's Descent Ceremony!
The high priest was shocked, frightened and angry.
Lord God, if he knew that these fearless guys were doing this, he would never get involved with Zuimeng Salon even if he gave up his priesthood and retired!
It's crazy!
If the divine descent is successful and the incarnation of the Blood Demon Grand Duke descends, not to mention the city of Boulder, I'm afraid the entire Principality of Boulder will be finished!
At this moment, the high priest was really scared.
Not only was I afraid, but I was also terrified.
"Your Excellency the High Priest, what does this ritual... mean?"
As if noticing his slightly changed expression, Duke Bold frowned and asked.
As a Blazing Sun Knight, although he possesses great power, he does not know much about this kind of divine ritual.
Looking at Duke Bold with a puzzled look on his face, the high priest remained silent.
After a moment's hesitation, he said:
"Nothing much, just a ritual to offer sacrifices to the Blood Demon Duke and seek his blessing."
He didn't dare tell the Duke what the ceremony was.
If I tell the other party, he will report it to the parish immediately.
There is no doubt that the Duke and even the Demon Hunter Knight now suspect that he is related to the Drunken Dream Salon.
Although all the nobles involved were dead, the Inquisition had its own means and the High Priest did not dare to gamble.
His secrets cannot withstand investigation, he has left too many clues, and he needs time to deal with his problems.
However, the high priest also knew that this matter could not be delayed.
If the Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy really succeeds and the evil god descends, his end will not be good either.
The high priest was in a dilemma.
An unprecedented dilemma.
"Damn it! It's the Blood Demon Cult again, and the evil god again... It really never ends!"
Duke Bold cursed.
After calming down, he said to the High Priest:
"Your Excellency the High Priest..."
"The nobles of the Principality hold the evil Drunken Dream Salon and collude with the Blood Demon Cult. They must be severely cleansed..."
"I hope you can support me and strike down these daring guys!"
After hearing the old duke's words, the high priest's heart was slightly moved.
He looked up at the other person and saw an old and calm face with firm belief and meaningful sincerity.
The high priest understood instantly that the old duke wanted to make a deal with him.
He didn't mention what happened in the study just now because he wanted to remove the Duke's Mansion from the Drunken Dream Salon.
At the same time, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to purge those nobles in the principality who were ready to make trouble.
As for the content of the transaction... Although the other party didn't say it, it was obvious.
He will not inquire into the actions of the evil god this time, nor will he delve into whether the high priest has any connection with the Zuimeng Salon.
This was exactly what the high priest wanted. He was in a lot of trouble right now and really couldn't stand having another Chiyang around to cause trouble.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke, the corrupt nobles of the Principality must be severely punished!"
He said solemnly.
"Master High Priest, I will leave now. The cultists here are also in your hands. I believe you can get a complete list of nobles from them."
The old prince said meaningfully.
This is a naked exchange of interests.
"Of course, Your Excellency the Duke can also provide the church with a list of suspects to corroborate each other."
The high priest thought about it and returned the favor.
The two old foxes soon exchanged their needs.
There was no point in staying, so Duke Bold left soon.
Before leaving the dungeon, he completely destroyed Count Tulip's study with a single sword.
The high priest's eyelids twitched, but he did not stop it and even felt relieved.
After all... who knows if there is any evidence of him left in the study.
It was not until the old duke left that his expression gradually became serious.
The reason why Duke Bold was willing to make this deal with him was that the other party didn't know what the ritual in the dungeon represented.
But he knew it himself.
He can deceive others, but he cannot deceive himself or the facts.
The God's Descent Ceremony is of great importance. He cannot hide it and must report it.
However, the high priest did not dare to report it.
Even if he wanted to erase all traces of himself and put the blame of the Blood Demon Cult on the dead nobles, it would not work.
the reason is simple.
Count Tulip knows his secret, and Count Tulip cooperates with the Blood Demon Cult. So is there a possibility... someone in the Blood Demon Cult also knows about him
The high priest didn't dare to gamble.
If he really attracted the attention of the diocese, even if he thwarted the Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy, his secret might be exposed.
His actions were almost equivalent to cooperating with the Blood Demon Cult.
At that time, his fate will be either to join the Judgment Corps or to be purified directly...
The more the high priest thought about it, the more desperate he became.
He suddenly realized that he had walked into a dead end.
If he reported the matter and the parish sent someone down, his secret would likely be exposed and his end would be almost certain death.
If this matter is not reported, the Blood Demon Cult will become more and more powerful, and if they succeed in descending from the sky, everything will be even more serious.
Not only that, even if this matter was not mentioned, the death of the great knight had already alarmed the parish.
The diocese... they will send people to investigate sooner or later. Not to mention the Blood Demon Cult, even the fact that he suppressed the coming of the evil god may be discovered by them!
etc…
That evil god
The high priest seemed to have thought of something and his heart moved.
All signs indicate that this mysterious evil god... seems to have a grudge against the Blood Demon Cult.
Whether it was the failed blood demon sacrifice in Castel Manor or the destruction of the Drunken Dream Salon, the other party seemed to be targeting the Blood Demon Cult.
So, is there a possibility that he can use the power of this evil god to fight against the descent of God prepared by the Blood Demon Cult
It is obvious that this evil god acts with principles and should be the kind of evil god that can communicate.
So... is it possible for him to find a way to contact this evil god and make a deal with him
If everything went well, perhaps he wouldn't even need to report the Blood Demon Cult's conspiracy, and could solve the Blood Demon Cult's troubles on his own.
And when the problem is solved, he can even blame everything on this evil god...
The more the high priest thought about it, the more he felt it was possible!
As long as he does it right, perhaps he can use the opponent's strength to defeat him, solve the problem of the Blood Demon Cult once and for all, and let that evil god take the blame!
The high priest still felt that this idea was worth a try. Various signs showed that this evil god did not seem to have much hostility towards the Holy Royal Court.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand safely outside the manor just now.
Soon, the high priest had figured out everything.
And if there is something you really don't understand...
Perhaps, the only one was the vengeful spirit that was clearly going to attack him but suddenly disappeared.
…
"Great Master, why didn't you let those evil spirits attack the High Priest just now?"
Under the cover of night, Sebastian let go of all the survivors except the blood servants and left the crime scene with the help of Count Tulip's teleportation scroll. He looked at Charlotte who was acting with him and asked curiously.
Charlotte sighed slightly:
"Kara's sister is also among those evil spirits."
"She has done me a favor. Even if I expose the High Priest's crimes, I cannot do so at the cost of consuming her sister's soul..."
"Not to mention, it's just to keep him alive a little longer."
As she spoke, Charlotte looked at the scroll in her hand that recorded the crimes of the high priest.
