Chapter 145 144 Sir Linus, You Are Under Arrest
Chapter 145 -144- Sir Linus, you are under arrest
The days of waiting are long and tormenting.
In the midst of anxiety, tension and expectation, time passed day by day, and the high priest finally welcomed the arrival of the church assessment team of the Crescent Parish.
After these days of preparation, he has almost taken care of everything, even the various visions of Bolde, under the tacit cooperation between him and the old duke, each taking what he needs and suppressing them one by one.
Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the God of Darkness, who is obviously hostile to the Blood Demon Cult, who solved the troubles of the Blood Demon Cult and allowed him to cleverly take the credit on his head.
He really made a lot of preparations.
For safety, he even put the little beauty of the Castel family aside temporarily.
Next, as long as the high priest himself can pass the church's inquiry test, he can completely get rid of this crisis.
What happened in Bolder could not be hidden from the investigation of the legend, but if he wanted to hide it from a Blazing Sun Priest... if there was the secret help of the gods, the High Priest would still have some confidence.
Of course, he also made plans for the worst.
He had already shut down the holy emblem of the cathedral in advance, and also brought with him the advanced magic scroll of directional transmission. Once he found something wrong, he would flee decisively.
That was the worst case scenario. If possible, the High Priest hoped that it would never appear.
But if it really appeared, then he would have no choice but to completely surrender to the mysterious God of Darkness.
These days, he often prayed to the God of Darkness, not only hoping to get the other party's protection in the assessment, but also to prepare for the worst case scenario.
The melodious bell sounded from the bell tower of the church, and accompanied by the flying dust, a mighty team appeared outside the city of Bolder.
It was the assessment team composed of the trial knights and the priests of the church.
The whole team, with more than a hundred people, drove into the city of Boulder in a mighty manner, and the high priest Linus led the priests of Boulder to personally greet them at the city gate.
The leader of the evaluation team was named Gast, a senior duke priest of common origin, who was deeply blessed by God and was only one step away from becoming a legend.
He was also one of the three duke-level theocratic lords of the Crescent Kingdom, ruling the Dukedom of Lantis in the central part of the Crescent Kingdom, and was also known as the High Priest of Lantis.
The high priest saw the High Priest of Lantis surrounded by the priests at a glance.
As a senior clergyman of the Holy Royal Court, he had been able to know in advance a lot of information about the high-level mobilization of the church, and knew that the High Priest of Lantis had long been valued by the Cardinals and would soon be recalled to the Theocracy to accept the test of God's grace.
Once he passed the test, he could be officially promoted to the high priest with legendary power, and resigned from the position of the High Priest of the Dukedom of Lantis and joined the Cardinals High Priest Group.
The position of the High Priest that High Priest Linus would compete for in the future was actually the position of the Dukedom of Lantis!
Thinking of this, the high priest took a deep breath, put on a friendly and decent smile, came to the front of the chief priest of Landis, and said enthusiastically:
"Praise the Holy! Lord Gast, welcome to Boulder!"
The chief priest of Landis is a tall, gray-haired, and old-fashioned old man.
He did not respond to the high priest's goodwill, but just looked at him coldly, and then led the members of the evaluation team to the direction of the cathedral.
The smile of the high priest froze on his face.
Although the chief priest of Landis is a vassal of the theocracy who rules the theocracy, he is actually at the same level as the high priest Linus in terms of rank.
Both of them belong to the duke level, and at most the other party is half a level higher than him because of the status of the chief priest, which is a bit similar to the court title and fiefdom title among the nobles.
The priests of the same level met but were indifferent and did not even say hello. Even if he was the chief examiner who was impartial, this situation was not normal.
The high priest felt that the attitude of Priest Atlantis seemed a little strange, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended him.
But no matter what, as the chief examiner for his bid for the position of chief priest, he had to take care of the relationship.
With a stiff smile, the high priest turned around and followed the team of the evaluation team.
He came to Priest Atlantis and enthusiastically introduced the customs and the situation of the church in Boulder.
But Priest Atlantis remained expressionless and unmoved, which made the high priest quite embarrassed.
If it weren't for the other two deputy chief examiners of the evaluation team who continued his topic, the high priest really felt that he would soon be unable to stand this serious, embarrassing, and indifferent atmosphere.
Abnormal!
Absolutely abnormal!
Even if the church did not allow the chief examiner to have too much in-depth communication with the priest being evaluated, the attitude of Priest Atlantis was too abnormal!
The high priest just felt more and more irritated.
The evaluation team has not yet started to investigate the situation in Bolder, and this attitude has already appeared. Could it be that... the diocese has discovered something?
The high priest's heart sank slightly.
But he thought about it carefully, and felt that he had filled all the loopholes, and it seemed that there were no loopholes left.
Even if there were, it was the fault of the evil god's revival.
But he also had the merit of "uprooting the blood demon cult" and the merit of the future Castel theocratic.
These are his advantages.
Not to mention, he also has the secret protection of the God of Darkness.
The high priest suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, continued to smile, and chatted and laughed with the members of the evaluation team, and returned to the cathedral of Bolder.
The chief examiner, Archbishop Landis, entered the church first and stood on the high platform in the hall.
The Knights of Judgment who followed the evaluation team also stood on both sides with solemn expressions.
The High Priest was also a little nervous.
He knew that according to convention, the evaluation team would read out the church's evaluation documents and related procedures.
As if to verify his judgment, after Bishop Landis stood up, a priest soon handed him a parchment scroll respectfully.
However, when the High Priest saw the parchment scroll, he was suddenly stunned.
The cover of the parchment scroll... was not the gold color used by the church to issue ordinary official documents, but an ominous black color.
Black official documents are only used in the Holy King's Court when they are suspended for investigation, punishment or arrest.
The sound of "creaking" came from behind, and the High Priest noticed that the Knights of Judgment directly closed the door of the cathedral and locked it from the inside.
As for the other two deputy examiners who also had the strength of the third level of Blazing Sun, they were standing behind him, one on the left and one on the right, and seemed ready to take action at any time.
Not good!
The expression of the high priest changed slightly.
At the same time, the chief priest of Landis on the high platform also opened the black parchment scroll and read it seriously:
"According to the real-name report, the high priest Linus of the Holy Royal Court Boulder Branch colluded with the Blood Demon Cult and killed civilians. The evidence is conclusive..."
After speaking, he put down the parchment scroll and looked at the high priest coldly:
"Sir Linus, you are arrested."
There is only one update tonight.
