Working Prophet.

Chapter 663
Juan and the others left for about a week. According to the request of the High Priest Quintus, they did not make much fanfare and walked very quietly.

Even the banner of the Arias family was not displayed, and Miss Rabbit only claimed to send them to escort an important person to the Golden Valley.

And Donia of the Singleton family didn't show up in the green field again these days, so most people thought that the important person was her.

It was not until a week later that the female lord and Juan got in touch again through the radio station.

The voice of the latter was so excited that it even trembled a little, "I...we caught him, we caught him! We caught him!!! Lady Ilea."

Miss Rabbit was already drowsy from the charcoal fire in the basin, but after Juan repeated that sentence three times, she immediately regained her spirits and said excitedly.

"You succeeded?! Really, you caught Herodotus?"

"It's true, High Priest Quintus has found several people who used to know Herodotus to confirm that it is indeed Herodotus himself, not a substitute.

"We found him in a small village, which was an important stronghold of the Blood Moon Society, but Herodotus was very cunning. He launched seven high priests instead of him to preach secretly in various places, inciting riots, but he hid Get up, don't show up in front of people, and change hiding places from time to time.

"In this way, the lords of the western region can only capture missionary priests at most, but they have nothing to do with Herodotus, and even if the seven high priests are captured and killed, Herodotus can still choose new ones.

"This time, thanks to the internal response sent by the High Priest Quintus, he lurked into the Blood Moon Society, otherwise it would be too difficult to catch Herodotus."

Juan said, "Now we are taking Herodotus to the direction of Multiscale City, where the Church of Silvermoon will judge him."

"Well, I see, then you should be careful on the road."

After turning off the radio, Miss Rabbit still couldn't calm down.

In the past year or so, Herodotus has been like a nightmare to the nobles in the western region.

He betrayed the Silver Moon Church to establish the Blood Moon Society, single-handedly created the tragedy in Multiscale City, and poisoned all the other high priests of the church and many nobles to death.

Forcibly distorting the "Silver Moon Holy Book", transforming the new church into an extremist organization full of hatred and paranoia.

Using intimidation, assassination, poisoning and other means to wantonly eliminate dissidents, so that the entire Western Territory is shrouded in a shadow of terror.

But now this bloody monster was finally caught, and the process was so smooth, Miss Rabbit couldn't help feeling unreal.

But when I think that the High Priest Quintus has been planning for this matter for almost a year, and even sent an agent to infiltrate the Blood Moon Society to find ways to get close to Herodotus, in exchange for such a precious opportunity to make a move, it is also possible to succeed in the end. Not a surprise.

Many people despise Quintus because of his background and his dark-skinned old farmer's face, and feel that he is not as good as High Priest Martina in terms of reputation, and inferior to High Priest Reeves in terms of strategy.

But Quintus also has one advantage that neither of the above two can match, and that is his tenacity.

The grass looks very inconspicuous, but it can grow on the hard rock wall and crack the nearby stones a little bit.

And Quintus also relied on this tenacity to grab Herodotus who no one could catch.

The latter was now tightly bound hands and feet by iron chains, and sat on a big horse.

Juan and the female lord ended the call and came back, got on their horses, and sat behind Herodotus, while the cavalry of the Arias family surrounded the two of them.

Juan warned Herodotus, "Don't play tricks, and don't expect your followers to take you away. I have obtained the permission of the high priest Quintus. Once the situation is critical, I can choose not to bring you back to the multi-scale City, I will execute you directly."

Although Herodotus was arrested, he didn't show much panic after the initial shock, but said with interest.

"What were you doing just now? I saw that you seemed to be talking to the air."

"This has nothing to do with you." Juan said.

Herodotus looked at the Hughes behind him again, and the package on his back.

"That's the sacred artifact of the Shuangxiu religion, right? You were talking to someone with that sacred artifact just now. Let me guess who is talking to you. Is it Merlin?"

"I said, this has nothing to do with you, from now until Multiscale City, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Juan was very cautious, and sent two small teams to investigate nearby, and led everyone on the road after confirming that there was no danger.

But after a few steps, he was stopped by someone.

Those who stopped them were the villagers of that village. There were men and women, including old people and children, and many of them were holding weapons in their hands.

"Sir Juan, they are all soldiers of the Blood Moon Society, let's just kill them all," said a priest of the Silver Moon Church next to them.

That was the person sent by the High Priest Quintus to assist in the arrest. His name was Jacques, and he was a student of Herodotus before.

Juan frowned when he heard the words. Although the group of villagers in front of them were not friendly, the weapons in their hands were very simple, almost all of them were agricultural tools.

And with such a big age difference, it was obvious that they were just ordinary villagers, not fighters, and Juan didn't really want to do anything to them.

However, if they kept refusing to get out of the way, or took the initiative to attack and wanted to save people, then Juan would have to order his subordinates to attack as well.

When the atmosphere became more and more tense, Herodotus suddenly coughed lightly and said to Juan.

"Can I have a word with them? Don't worry, I'm not asking for help. Besides, they are not your opponents. They can't save me at all. They just die in vain."

"I thought you didn't care about other people's lives." Juan said.

"Of course I care." Herodotus smiled, "It's just that sometimes we have to make some sacrifices. Although I kill a lot of people, they all have a purpose. I also hate meaningless deaths. As it is now."

Juan didn't know how much of what the man in front of him said was true or not, but since it was possible to avoid conflict, he acquiesced to Herodotus' proposal.

Even the reining horse took a few steps forward.

Herodotus opened his mouth and said softly, "My children, listen to me and go back. This is the will of the goddess. You don't need to worry, because this is just the last darkness before dawn..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a "snap", and the whip hit Herodotus' body, leaving a bloodstain on his chest.

Jacques then shouted, "I'm dying, Herodotus, you traitor, are still talking nonsense, using the name of the goddess to deceive these ignorant farmers!"

Herodotus glanced back at Jacques, but he didn't say anything, but Jacques was still inexplicably panicked, but he quickly suppressed the panic.

Herodotus was no longer his teacher, and he was already a prisoner of the church. He didn't have many days to live. There was no need for him to feel afraid when facing a dying person.

So he stared back again, only to find that Herodotus had already looked away, and looked at the villagers again, "Let's go, don't disobey the goddess' will."

The villagers looked at each other, and finally retreated to the side, making way for Juan and others to leave.

　There is still only one update today. Is it the college entrance examination tomorrow? I wish you all the best for the college entrance examination.
