Chapter 184 Planning
"You...what are you talking about?" Speer said in disbelief, "The devil's minions? This is a naked frame-up!"
"Whether it is a frame-up or not, the priest can decide for himself," the man named Redwin said loudly, "Father will be deceived by you, but that doesn't mean you can deceive everyone! Soon the people will know your true face, hell This is where you belong!”
"Did you make this all up?" Speer's tone suddenly turned cold, "Or is there someone else? I think the answer should be the latter - after all, the reason why my father chose me was not because of anything else, but because of you and the three of us. My two brothers are really useless."
"Shut up!"
Then Nightingale heard a crisp sound and the Marquise's grunt of pain.
"That's enough, take her back to the church for trial," another person said. "Before the trial, she is still a noble. Don't lose etiquette."
After Speer Passi was dragged away, the Judgment Warriors also filed out, and soon there were only two people left in the room. Due to the influence of the God's Stone of Retaliation, Nightingale was unable to see their appearance, and could only tell from the sound that one of them was Redwine who had previously spoken to the lord. If he heard correctly, this person seemed to be Speer's younger brother.
"You did well, Mr. Redwin...perhaps I should call you Earl the next time we meet."
"Is this enough, Lord Rosad?" Redwin's tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Can I really inherit the title and become the lord of Dragonfall Ridge?"
"Of course, as long as you abide by our agreement, even going one step further is possible," the latter smiled.
"Then what should we do next?" he asked urgently, "Can I move into my sister's room? She can't come out of prison again, right?"
"Spear Passy will soon be hanged in the square as a witch. This is also a guarantee for our cooperation." The other party pondered for a moment, "As for what to do next, I suggest you summon her Tell the ministers, knights and subordinates about this, and divide a part of the rights that belong to the marquis."
"I...do I have to do this?"
"If everyone can benefit from this incident, your position will be much more secure, which will also facilitate our subsequent agreements to proceed smoothly," Rosad said. "If you feel at a loss, I can dispatch a The priest gives it to you. He is very good at handling government affairs. If you don’t understand something, he can give you an answer at any time."
"Then it's up to you," Redwin responded quickly.
"You being able to secure your position as lord will be of great help to us, so the church is naturally responsible for this kind of thing." The other party laughed loudly.
After the two left, Nightingale emerged from the mist, followed by Lightning and Maisie.
"Now we're in trouble," she looked at the two of them. "How could the church come to our door by such a coincidence?"
"Didn't it mean that her brother discovered her true identity and revealed it to the church?" Lightning's eyes flashed, "We have something to do."
"Have you discovered it sooner or later, but now? I always feel that something is wrong here," Nightingale frowned.
"No matter what, we must not just watch them execute Speer," Lightning raised his head and said, "We must save her and then kill the church to pieces!"
"Luohualiushuigu!"
Since defeating the devil, the little blond girl's self-confidence has been somewhat inflated, which is not a good sign. Nightingale shook her head and said, "The church cannot be defeated for the time being. They must be involved in this conspiracy. If these people are eradicated, Speer can naturally return to his position as lord. This may be an opportunity for us. As long as she quietly After being rescued silently, she will most likely agree to return to Border Town with us when faced with a desperate situation."
"Hey, aren't you going to fight the church?" Lightning said disappointedly.
"Fighting is a last resort. The opponent has a large number of people and possesses a large number of God's Stones of Punishment. It is quite risky to quickly eliminate the opponent." Nightingale thought for a while and then ordered, "I will go to the church to inquire about the situation first and see if I can Can’t figure out what’s going on.”
There is another thing she did not say. If the cause and effect are not understood, Speer Passi may associate this frame-up with His Highness. This kind of thing must be avoided at all costs.
"What about us?" the little girl asked.
"Just meet me outside."
…
The Chuilongling Church is located in the outer city. It is small in scale. It has a prayer hall, a believer's residence and a three-story tower. It is surrounded by walls and has only one entrance and exit. But for Nightingale, these obstacles are not a problem.
In the evening, after the believers who came to pray had dispersed, she had already searched the entire area - although the number of God's Stones of Retribution was several times greater than in the castle, it was not difficult to move even an inch. There were large sacred stones in the hall that could banish the magic power of the entire room. The same was true for some of the aisles, but she could completely take a detour or even climb over the floor.
Nightingale also found the location where Speer Passi was imprisoned, in the basement of the tower. He didn't seem to be suffering any torture, but was a little mentally depressed. She planned to wait until it was quiet at night before taking the Marquis out.
After telling the two of her plan, Nightingale sneaked into the tower again. This time she followed the lines that did not exist in reality to the top floor and hid in a gorgeously decorated room.
This should be the priest's room. When he comes back, he should honestly tell the truth when faced with the threat of the dagger.
When the bell at nine o'clock at night echoed over Zhuilong Ridge, the door to the room was pushed open.
She quietly pulled out the dagger, but made no move. Judging from their footsteps, there were two people coming.
"What an unexpected surprise." The first person to speak was a woman. "I didn't expect Marquis Speer to be a witch. It seems that the plan must be slightly changed."
"Uh... Lord Holy Envoy," the answerer was none other than Rosad from before, his tone seemed very respectful, "Wouldn't it be more convincing if she is a witch?"
"Now is different from the past. According to His Majesty the Pope, if there are new witches, they should be handed over to the Holy City for processing as much as possible without being exposed." The woman said, "As for the original hanging, let's change it to burning at the stake. , replaced by a masked death row prisoner of similar stature for execution."
"Yes," Rosad responded, "But why would Your Majesty set such troublesome rules? It is not easy to transport a witch to Hermes."
"I don't know, but from what I heard above, this is just a return to tradition."
"Return to...tradition?"
"You don't need to know too much, just handle the current affairs with peace of mind," the Holy Envoy did not continue, "When everything is settled here, I will go to Chishui City."
"As you command!" Rosad said in a stern voice.
Who is this person? Why didn't the priest even dare to express his dignity in front of her? Moreover, listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that they did not know that the Marquise was a witch before arresting Speer Passi. Could it be that this was a conspiracy against the Lord of Falling Dragon Ridge from beginning to end?
Nightingale couldn't help but walk out of her hiding place and used the fog to look at the other party. To her surprise, the other party was not wearing the Stone of God's Punishment. In the black and white world, the magic power in the Holy Messenger's body is as eye-catching as fluorescence.
This person is a witch!
"Who's there?" And she reacted quickly. Almost instantly, a dazzling silver light shot straight towards the nightingale!
