Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 88: Lodifu: Huh? (Please order first!)
Luo Xiu then folded up the secret letter from the "Ancient Hermitage" and put it in his arms.

This is enough evidence to be submitted directly to the "Holy Court" to request a "trial" against Rodif.

But this is not enough - according to Luo Xiu's observation of Lord Rodif, even if the evidence is presented to him, the old eunuch will probably find various excuses to shirk responsibility.

For example, "This is forged", "This is slander", etc. Luo Xiu could imagine the old eunuch's angry protest.

He also needed more evidence that could truly prove that Rodif was guilty of "collaborating with the enemy."

Luo Xiu was thinking calmly, and at the same time he heard the rustling sounds of footsteps coming from the side and behind.

Anthony, Pamier and Connor also followed him upstairs. Captain Anthony waved to Luo Xiu from a distance and said hello.

"... Luo Xiu."

Anthony asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Not yet...what about you guys?" Luo Xiu responded calmly.

He didn't want to let Anthony know for the time being that he actually had the key evidence.

Because this evidence has not yet achieved its greatest value.

"We searched the second and third floors."

Anthony said, his expression somewhat emotional, "But apart from discovering that Rodif's daily life was really quite luxurious... we didn't find any evidence related to the 'Priory'."

"Is that so..." Luo Xiu said with some regret, "Maybe Rodif hid the evidence somewhere... Let's look for it again."

"Everyone please be careful and don't miss any clues."

Anthony nodded, a hint of gloom flashed across his face. "...I can only do my best. Even though I am a candidate for the priest of the Holy See, the 'search authority' I have is very limited. Probably... we still have twenty minutes."

After Anthony finished speaking, he turned around and took Connor and Pamier into another room.

They closed the door, and then there was a sound of rummaging.

……

Twenty minutes passed.

Anthony, who found no evidence, felt a little disappointed and took Connor and Pamier back to the main guest room on the first floor.

Lord Rodif was looking at them with a smile on his face.

From Anthony's expression, Lord Rodif knew that they had gained nothing.

"Holy Judges," said Rodif with a smile, "Have you discovered anything?"

Anthony was about to answer when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.

He turned around and saw Luo Zhengxing passing behind him.

Luo Xiu followed Anthony and the others downstairs to avoid meeting them before returning to the main guest room and being asked questions about the "evidence".

If he were questioned by Anthony in this situation and he continued to "hide" the matter of the secret letter, it would have a great impact on the unity of the team.

Luo Xiu paid great attention to the sense of proportion.

"Lord City Lord... As you wish, we have not found any evidence to accuse you."

As Luo Xiu spoke, he sat down on the sofa next to him.

When Anthony heard Luo Xiu say this, the last glimmer of hope on his face quickly disappeared.

Anthony was a little depressed, but he heard Luo Xiu say:
"...But, Lord City Lord, do you know why we are here?"

"For what?" Rodif asked with interest.

"——In fact, we have captured the Priory's 'Elementalist' Alonso."

"..."

"...?"

Luo Xiu looked straight into Rodif's eyes. He noticed a hint of suspicion in Rodif's eyes.

"Elementalist" Alonso was the signature of the sender from the "Priority" on the secret letter.

This is exactly the "situation woven" using the letter.

"...Alonso told us that he said there were spies from their 'Hermitage' among the officials of Red Maple City."

Luo Xiu explained slowly to Rodif, and he noticed that Rodif's eyes became deeper.

Anthony, Connor and Pamier, who were standing by, also noticed this at the same time.

Although they knew deep down that they had never actually captured the "Elementalist" Alonso.

But seeing that Luo Xiu seemed to be confident, and seeing the obvious emotional changes in Rodif, Anthony and the other two tacitly remained silent and acted as spectators.

"Mr. City Lord, guess who Alonso gave instructions to?" Luo Xiu asked with a smile.

"……" "……Could it be me?" Rodif blurted out.

But he soon realized something was wrong and glanced away with his slightly narrowed eyes.

"Hey! You guessed it right!" Luo Xiu suddenly raised his voice, "No wonder people say that you are a truly wise person."

“……”Lodifu kept his lips tightly shut and remained silent.

He felt that the priest opposite him seemed to be giving off an inexplicable aura that he deserved a beating.

Rodif was waiting for Luo Xiu to continue speaking, but Luo Xiu suddenly stopped talking.

He just smiled and looked at Rodif, his expression like a static sculpture, with a strange calmness.

"..." Rodif gradually couldn't bear it anymore.

"So you, because of the nonsense of the pagans, are you going to doubt the most loyal subjects of the empire?"

Rodif was angry and couldn't help but ask back, but he only saw Luo Xiu shaking his head with a lonely look.

"Of course not..." Luo Xiu sighed:

"You don't understand our painstaking efforts at all. We just want to prove your innocence. After all, the truth is often accompanied by doubts..."

"but."

Luo Xiu suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Lord City Lord, congratulations!"

"We didn't find any evidence in your home that you had an affair with the Priory, which proves that Alonso's words might indeed be slander..."

"...That's good." Rodif breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could finish his breath, he heard Luo Xiu continue:
"When we return, we will continue to interrogate Alonso. We will make him confess who is the real culprit."

"So! If Alonso identifies you again, we will come to your mansion for another routine search!"

"Please understand, this is all for your innocence..."

"..."

"……what?"

Rodif's eyelids jumped, and he saw that Luo Xiu had stood up and patted Anthony on the shoulder.

"Then we'll take our leave today, Lord City Lord."

Luo Xiu smiled and nodded to Rodif.

Anthony understood, so he stood up and, like Rossio, nodded and said goodbye to Rodif.

Rodif now felt only noisy, his mind was filled with the accusations made against him by "Alonso", and he felt totally confused for a moment.

……

From the corner of his eye, Rodif saw that Luo Xiu and Anthony had already walked to the door.

The result is the next moment.

Luo Xiu suddenly turned around and shouted to Rodif:
"-Oh, right! I forgot one thing!"

"——Lord City Lord! That Alonso lied to us. He said you are... paralyzed!"

"——But you are so healthy! We can all see that this is a lie, a cheap slander and defamation!"

"..."

--boom.

Without waiting for Rodif to respond, Luo Xiu had already closed the door.

Then, just seconds after he closed the door.

Luo Xiu heard Rodif's hysterical roar and the sound of glass being broken coming from the mansion.

Rodif's mentality collapsed.

It's not that he was caught with any evidence.

He simply broke through the defense.

And this is also the result of Luo Xiu's deliberate creation.

His plan to obtain "new evidence" from Rodif.

So far, it's halfway done.
