Tome of Blood

Chapter 146-145- The Reporter
High Priest Linus has been arrested.

They were arrested on the first day the Holy King's Court's assessment team entered Boulder City.

Even if he had prepared for the worst, all the back roads he had prepared were completely meaningless under the siege of the three Chi Yangs.

Before he even had time to take out the teleportation scroll in his arms, it was snatched away by the third-rank trial knight of Blazing Sun with a cold snort, and then his whole body was controlled...

Although they are both at the third rank of Blazing Sun, the combat power of the Judgment Knight is usually much higher than that of a priest like the great priest Linus.

Not to mention, there are three Chi Yang around him.

The great priest was anxious, he frantically called the name of the God of Darkness in his heart, but he didn't get the slightest response.

It wasn't until the Knight of Judgment roughly locked his hands with the chains of the Forbidden Demon that he finally realized that the God of the Night... hadn't given him shelter at all.

The great priest's heart felt cold almost immediately, it was obviously a scorching summer, but it was like falling into an ice cave.

"No! Slander! This is slander! Your Excellency, Chief Examiner! I want to appeal!"

He was disheveled and excited.

"Appeal? Your appeal...you should go and speak to the presiding judge of the Crescent Parish in the holy judgment."

Landis officiant said coldly.

Holy verdict!

The high priest's face paled slightly.

His expression was in a trance, his face was slumped, and he lost his strength almost instantly.

Holy verdict!

The harshest verdict of the court!

It will only be dispatched after obtaining definite evidence, and every time it is dispatched, the trial and ruling will inevitably make the trial subject pay the price!
The disaster that the Rose Society once faced, but today... it happened to him alone.

At this moment, the great priest finally realized...he was going to die.

……

When the holy believers of Boulder went to the cathedral with excitement, preparing to watch the grand welcome event of the Holy King's Tribunal led by the high priest, what they saw was the ashen-faced high priest wearing The shackles, the sight of the judged knights being thrown from the cathedral.

This unexpected scene made all the believers startled.

"What happened?"

"Your Excellency... why were you arrested?"

The believers talked a lot and looked shocked.

But soon, Priest Landis and the other two Chi Yang came out of the cathedral one after another.

He glanced at the holy believers gathered around the cathedral, and whispered a few words to the priests who followed him.

The priest who followed Landis as the officiant nodded, and then went to the square in front of the cathedral, and with the help of the church's loudspeaker circle, spread the sentence of the great priest Boulder to every corner of the square.

Killing thousands of underage girls, serving as the umbrella of the Drunken Dream Salon, colluding with the Blood Demon Sect...

The crimes were read out one by one, causing an uproar.

The confusion about the actions of the review group quickly turned into anger at the fallen priest.

Shocked, disappointed, disgusted, angry...

The believers were furious and began to curse and abuse angrily:
"Demons! Demons in human skin!"

"Burn him! Burn this dark degenerate!"

I don't know who made the move first, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the big priest with disheveled hair, which soon attracted everyone to follow.

Stones, rotten food, excrement... all kinds of filth were thrown from all directions.

The once lofty and respected great priest has completely become the object of everyone's spurning at this moment.

Officiant Landis watched all this coldly and did not stop him.

What the Holy Royal Court hates the most is the corruption of priests.

And every fallen priest will not only receive the most severe judgment, but also all his sins will be made public and cast aside by the world.

Perhaps this kind of self-exposing of the darkness would damage the authority of the Holy Royal Court, but it is precisely because of the severe punishment of the Holy Royal Court that the church that has lasted for thousands of years is still standing.

The angry believers vented their anger on the imprisoned priest, and more and more citizens came from all directions to inquire.

Watching the excitement is always the pleasure of ordinary people, and the fun of priests is no worse than that of nobles.

And as more and more citizens came to cast aside, the scene was also slightly chaotic.

Officiant Landis frowned slightly.

He glanced at the great priest who was slumped on the ground with a dejected expression, and prepared to end the farce.

But at this moment, an old woman in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

She jumped over the trial knights maintaining order, rushed towards the high priest with red eyes, and screamed hoarsely:
"Demon! You bloody devil! Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter!"

The woman was quickly stopped by the knight.

But the chaotic crowd gradually quieted down.

"It's the old widow Luna..."

"I heard that her three daughters who depended on each other were all kidnapped by Drunken Dream Salon one after another..."

"Bastard..."

Looking at the crying woman, the onlookers looked complicated and sighed.

At the same time, new old people stepped forward one after another, crying bitterly.

Those were the poor parents who lost their daughters because of the activities of the Blood Demon Cult and the Drunken Dream Salon in the past ten years or even more than ten years.

The bloody sacrifice lasted for more than ten years. Thousands of girls were killed and countless families were destroyed.

Although the noble who held the Drunken Dream Salon has died, everyone understands that without the protection of the great priest, this bloody and dark activity... would never have lasted until now.

The organizers of the event deserve death.

But the protective umbrella behind the scenes is even more hateful.

Looking at the weeping old people, the priest Lantis let out a long sigh and said:
"Help them up, and then... take Linus down."

The knights and priests quickly helped the old people down, and the great priest Linus was also taken down by the trial knights.

As the culprit was taken away, the crowd gathered in the square gradually dispersed.

And in the corner of the square, Kara, who was wearing a uniform, stood in the shadow of the street trees, looking in the direction of the cathedral in silence.

Beside her, the Duke's son, Leno, had a complex expression and sighed:

"I didn't expect...it turns out that the umbrella of the Drunken Dream Salon is actually a great priest!"

"No wonder the Gorefiend cultists in Boulder couldn't be cleaned up for so many years! It turns out... there is a problem within the church!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at the expressionless female knight Kara:
"Kara, I just heard from them... It seems that the great priest was still reported, and I don't know who the person who reported it was, but he was able to investigate so clearly."

As soon as he finished speaking, several trial knights from the evaluation team came over on horseback from afar.

The leader of the team was the deputy chief judge of the evaluation team, the third-rank trial knight of Blazing Sun, who was also Bold's new great knight.

He came to Kara, showed an admiring smile, drew a cross with his right hand, and said:

"Praise be holy! You are Boulder's chief demon hunting captain, Your Excellency Kara?"

"Your Excellency Kara, thank you for reporting to the great priest Linus, so that the royal court can clean up this depraved scourge in time!"

Kakaka... Kara reported it?

Leno was stunned.

The Blazing Sun Knight looked serious and asked sincerely:
"Your Excellency Kara, the presiding judge of the New Moon Parish appreciates you very much. Are you interested in leaving Boulder City and joining the parish court?"

　There is one more at twelve o'clock
