Chapter 321 Bishop of York

Go back in time to when the auction was almost over, and then change your perspective.

"Four thousand gold coins."

With the mage girl's quotation, the big item in the auction - Snake Scale Powder, means that she has firmly won it.

However, Nesta, who was standing high up, could clearly see...

Most of the locals in the Luofeng Empire looked at the mage girl with interesting eyes... That [interesting] was unusual.

That's not out of curiosity...

It’s not [Who is this person? ] curiosity, but a kind of teasing and fun that has foreseen the other person's future.

After a little thought, Nesta already understood something.

"..."

Looking at the people leaving the venue, Nesta had the urge to sigh...

I don’t know since when, the country under the rule of the Holy See has become like this, and what is filling it is not faith.

In other words, links such as worship, prayer, and atonement have become proof of immunity for those who believe in gods.

If you do evil, you only need to pray to be forgiven.

Faith instead becomes a passport to evil deeds.

When did it start to become like this?

Or is it that the world is actually like this, and people in the world have always been like this, as always and never changed?

Regardless of belief, perhaps evil people will always do evil.

So, in the eyes of these [bad believers], what kind of things have those two gods been alienated into?

Nesta didn't know this.

But what is certain is that those two have reached the point where they have to consider suicide... precisely because of this.

That’s why Nesta became the God’s Favorite.

A child named Nesta was blessed by the gods, and from then on she shouldered the mission of liberating the gods.

forget about it.

Nesta shook her head.

There are more important things to do now than a future that is so far away and we don’t know if it can be achieved.

With this judgment in mind, Nesta silently turned around and left the stand, preparing to remind Belsi and the others about the auction house.

If nothing else, it was just like Hai Lei and Shen Rui before.

Soon, Belsi and his party will be attacked.

"..."

As she walked, Nesta noticed something and stopped on the spot... She noticed that some people were quietly approaching her.

Perhaps, this is what Belsi meant.

During the auction, look around with a calm attitude. After the auction, the person in charge will take the initiative to come to you.

With this attitude, Nesta slowly stopped.

Some of the people following her around also stopped quietly, and then someone among them simply said: "Miss Judge, someone invited you to meet on the third floor of the auction house... Can you please reward me?"

come yet

Nesta did not answer the other party immediately, but thought quietly.

"……Can."

After pondering for a moment, Nesta took control of her posture, responded to the other party's inquiry, and agreed to the other party's suggestion.

"Then, please come with us."

Following these people, Nesta quickly returned to the auction house, and walked up the stairs under the eyes of the awed judges.

Finally, we stopped in front of a room on the third floor.

Stopping at the door, one of those people smiled and gestured to her: "Miss Judge, the person in charge of the San Diego Auction House is waiting for you inside... Please believe in our sincerity."

Nesta, who didn't know what "sincerity" meant, pushed open the door and entered.

Behind her, the room door was closed by the guard outside, and Nesta looked at the man sitting behind the table inside.

"Are you here? Thank you for the honor, respected judge... I am the head of the Santiago Auction House, the prince of the Luofeng Empire - Tim."

Sitting in the room was a young-looking man, about twenty-five or six years old. He was wearing elegant clothes and looked like a noble man.

There was a very standard polite smile on his face.

"..."

Nesta responded to the other party with silence. After all, she didn't actually know the other party...she was from the religious system.

As for the Holy Royal Family, she might be able to recognize a few of them.

She was really unfamiliar with the princes and princesses of the Luofeng Empire. Even if the king was standing in front of her, she wouldn't be able to recognize him...

However, she really didn't need to speak.

Because just like the [trial] work she once conducted, if the other party has something in his heart, then the other party will obviously be anxious.

And the prince named [Tim] who took the initiative to invite her to meet him had obviously done something worthy of being judged.

I just don’t know if this has anything to do with the Holy See. How much does my grandfather, the current Pope, St. Phelps, know about this.

Just as Nesta was thinking, the prince sitting opposite asked: "Miss Judge came to the Santiago Auction House specially, maybe for an ordinary visit?"

Regarding this…

"That's right."

The prince was obviously a little surprised by Nesta's unhesitating admission.

He originally thought that the other party would prevaricate, but Nesta admitted the matter directly, which made Tim feel a little anxious.

Does this mean that he is already on the list for trial?

Although he was a little panicked, he remained calm and continued to ask: "So, does the Holy See have any instructions?"

To the prince who looked obviously frightened, Nesta said casually: "I need the auction house's accounting details."

"..."

When Tim heard this, he was immediately embarrassed. He could almost conclude that the judge in front of him had mastered something, and he could obviously take it out.

But if you give it to the other party, whether you can keep your head is another matter.

"This...I really can't take it out."

Tim showed a troubled expression. He quickly thought about how to get through this disaster, and began to fool around: "Although I am the person in charge of the San Diego Auction House, but...actually I can't completely manage things."

"Yes...that's right."

When he thought of something, he immediately grabbed the Luofeng Empire's shield as a shield: "The things related to the ledger are actually with the Bishop of York."

Bishop of York.

Nesta just learned about this name not long ago...it was the name of the bishop of Luofeng Cathedral.

Is he associated with the auction house?

Nesta, who was thinking about it, simply asked: "Then ask York for it, and then bring it to me. Is there any difficulty?"

Seeing Nesta's expression, Tim waved his hands hurriedly: "Uh, no, no, of course not... Then I will go there in person and ask the judge to wait here."

The young prince who said this obviously felt great pressure, and he hurriedly ran out of the room.

Nesta, on the other hand, sat down in the room leisurely.

Then, he gently took off the sickle from his back.

"..."

After a while, Nesta waited for Tim to come back, but at the same time some other people came too——

A small band of Church Knights.

"right here!"

"Someone is pretending to be a judge!"

"For the Holy See!"

"..."

Just as the noise resounded outside, the knights of the Holy See suddenly broke through the door and rushed in. The knight at the front held the knight's sword tightly and stabbed at Nesta.

The opponent's armor and the sword in his hand are both engraved with white dove patterns, proving that the opponent is the knight captain of this Holy See knight.

To deal with [Impostors], there is no such level of existence available.

In other words, the other party knew from the beginning that Nesta was not pretending to be a judge, but a genuine judge.

Tim found the Holy See Knight and wanted to kill Nesta directly here.

"Fifth level peak..."

Nesta was talking to herself, judging the opponent's strength level, looking at the holy light wrapped around the opponent's body, which almost turned into reality.

Like a sharp sword, the Holy Light Blade protecting the Holy See Knight Commander constitutes both offensive and defensive protection.

It also instantly involved most of the furnishings in the room, smashing those things into pieces.

But these are incidental.

All the blades are aimed at Nesta!

"die………………………………"

The other party shouted, but the voice was very long, and each word seemed to be incoherent... with a vibrato.

And what's interesting is that the other party's movements are also in slow motion, as if they are performing a funny pantomime.

If you observe carefully, you can find that it's not just him.

The other knights of the Holy See also move in slow motion, and the degree of slowness is even slower than that of the knights.

But they are not the ones being slowed down.

The chirping of birds outside the window was also lengthened, and the leaves falling in the sky became slower... The whole world seemed to have become quite slow.

And the only one with a normal speed is one person.

Nesta slowly removed her hand from the cross on her chest, and then waved the sickle lightly.

He just lightly dodged the attack while swiping the scythe across the opponent's body, and then stabbed him with the scythe handle...that's all.

Then, in the next moment, time began to flow again.

"puff!!!"

The moment the knight commander's sword was about to touch Nesta's clothes, a huge force hit his chest.

While spitting out a mouthful of blood, the knight commander flew backwards and hit other Holy See knights.

Then it fell to the ground like a bowling pin hit by a bowling ball.

Then, a huge laceration on his chest extending from his right shoulder to his left waist suddenly appeared, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Next, with the slow condensation of black holy light.

Above the head of the Vatican knight lying on the ground, a pitch-black spear composed of black holy light suddenly condensed.

"!!!"

The knights of the Holy See who were not affected at the side saw such a scene, and their expressions changed drastically.

It's not because Nesta killed their captain instantly.

But Nesta's methods also proved her identity... that she was a genuine judge.

The judges are the anti-rebellion troops of the Holy See.

But they are just pawns and have no intention of rebelling!

After realizing this, these Holy See knights immediately broke out in cold sweat, knelt down on one knee towards Nesta, and tremblingly begged for forgiveness——

"Lord Judge!"

"Sorry, that wasn't our intention."

"Please forgive me, Lord Judge."

"..."

"If you are not an insider, then leave, or...are you, like Tim and your knight commander, betraying the Holy See?"

Nesta spoke calmly.

As for Nesta's hat, normal Holy See knights would never be able to bear it, and all of them immediately expressed their loyalty.

"Don't dare!"

"Um...I don't know anything."

"Let's leave now, let's go now!!"

"..."

The remaining knights hurriedly fled the Santiago Cathedral, vacating the originally crowded third floor.

Only the knight commander was left lying on the ground.

There was also Prince Tim who wanted to escape secretly among the knights... However, the next second a huge scythe was inserted into the wall on the left side in front of him.

"Eaaah! Ah!"

Tim screamed strangely, looked at the blade lying in front of him, only a few inches away from his neck, and sat back on the ground.

It’s over, now I really have to explain it here,

"Don't... don't kill me!"

Prince Tim shouted, and he confessed in a panic: "It's the Bishop of York! Whether it's theft, slave trading, robbery, or corruption."

"It's all what Bishop York instructed us to do! I'm only in charge of the Santiago Auction House, and I'm an accomplice at most! In fact, about..."

"..."

Tim didn't finish his words, because in the next moment...

"boom!!!!"

A muscular arm suddenly penetrated the wall on Tim's left side, and pressed his palm on York's head.

Then, under Nesta's gaze, the hand with more than a dozen rings smashed York's head in an instant.

With a "bang!" sound, it turned into an exploding watermelon.

The hand released its grip, and Tim's headless body slowly fell down... Then it was a tall man who smashed the wall straight into pieces.

This muscular man, almost three meters tall, seemed unable to move in the corridor. He was covered in pendants and necklaces.

There are countless gold chains wrapped around his arms, his belt is studded with countless gems, and there are at least seven or eight pendants around his neck.

There are at least more than 20 rings on both hands, with an average of two rings on one finger...

Because of her height, Nesta could only look up at the man whose muscles stretched the bishop's uniform tightly.

If nothing unexpected happens...

"First meeting, Miss Judge."

The man said, looking down at Nesta, revealing his identity: "I am York, the bishop of Luofeng Church."

With that said, Bishop York spread his hands towards Nesta and made a [welcome] gesture like a [hug].

Then, he simply asked Nesta: "What conditions do you need to give up investigating my matter?"

Nesta was immediately stunned: "Conditions?"

In response to Nesta's question, York nodded and said quietly: "Yes, the conditions... I believe everyone has such a condition in their hearts."

"People need comfort in their hearts, so they exchange faith for peace of mind; gods need believers, so they exchange shelter for believers... What about you?"

Bishop York, who asked Nesta in a deep voice, reached out and took out four cloth bags from the ring, shaking them in his hand.

"Ten thousand gold coins, or more?"
