Soul echo

Chapter 310 Questioning
The Family Goddess Church sent two carriages. Zhong Ye and the priest sat in one of the carriages. When Zhong Ye entered the carriage, the wooden boards groaned in pain. It really made people worry that the carriage would collapse and disintegrate. .

——For Zhong Ye, the space in the carriage is indeed a little narrow.

Even though he had hung all his weapons outside the car, when he sat next to the priest, the car became crowded.

Looking at Zhong Ye, and then at the priest beside him, Lilian couldn't help asking: "Wouldn't they be suspicious if we went to the Raymond family so brazenly?"

The priest, like the other clergy accompanying the team, was wearing a thick robe, and underneath the robe was cold and hard light armor. The armor was covered by the robe, and only a few outlines could be seen.

Even so, their team had two carriages, which didn't look quite right.

"There is a high probability that someone in the Raymond family has already been transformed into a cultist. I think it is impossible for them not to know this. If they can cut off the cultist in time, we can not hold them accountable for other things." Close your eyes and rest your mind. The priest replied in a low voice, "If they don't, we will be responsible for sending them to die."

'No other responsibilities' means that the Raymond family should still be held accountable for not handing over the painting left by Nemo in the first place.

After that, even if the Raymond family is still the lord of Valensais, they still have to act according to the eyes of the Church of the Goddess of Family.

Although most of the nobles today do not remember the agreement their ancestors made with the gods, many churches still remember them as the most devout servants of the gods.

They have the power to supervise the nobles. If the nobles degenerate and turn to the abyss, then the church can clean up the door and kill the nobles.

The priest knew very well that in this era when the nobles had already lost the legacy of their sages, if they really took action to eradicate the Raymond family, it might arouse the panic and resentment of other nobles, causing nobles in other regions to further reject the church.

However, if the Raymond family is really depraved, if it is not eradicated, it will be the world that will be hurt.

In comparison of the two, eradicating the cultists has a higher priority.

After saying that, the priest didn't say anything else, and the carriage fell silent.

Because they might be facing a battle, Lily and Lilian didn't have the leisure to talk, and both closed their eyes, silently adjusting their messy emotions.

Lilian is even trying to listen to and learn Zhong Ye's breathing rate, trying to awaken the 'Qi' in her body.

She has learned 'Qi' before, but how to use 'Qi' is still a difficult problem for her - she can't use 'Qi Jin' as directed by her arms.

Sometimes you can use your energy easily, but sometimes you can't do it no matter how hard you try, and sometimes it doesn't work. This is not a good thing for fighting.

The carriage passed through several streets, walked out of the city gate, and came to the outskirts of the city.

Unlike the Kingdom of Etruul, most of the castles in the Kingdom of Gaul were built in the outskirts, rather than cities built around the castle.

The castle of Valensais also follows this convention and is located on a hill not far from the city.

The huge castle stands on the top of the hill, with ramps in all directions, without any cover, as long as you stand on the city wall, you can see clearly what is happening below.

The two carriages drove towards the gate of the castle along a gentle hillside. The church sent a letter last night, stating that the priest will lead a team to the castle this morning to visit Viscount Raymond and let the Raymond family do well. Prepare.

After Zhong Ye and the others left the church, if the Raymond family had sent someone to watch around the church, they should have passed the news back to Viscount Raymond. What news was brought, and what was the purpose of the priest's surprise visit.

If the Raymond family is determined to repent, they have already made a cut now, and they are incompatible with those who have been transformed into cultists.

If they didn't do that, but chose to pretend to be stupid, it means that all members of the Raymond family are at risk of falling into the arms of the abyss, and all members need to be eliminated—from top to bottom, regardless of the elderly or children .

When the team arrived at the castle, the main gate of the castle was 'open', indicating that the Raymond family had seen the letter and knew that they would visit the castle.

The carriage drove into the castle, and the priest took people out of the carriage in front of the main building, and asked the servants of the Raymond family to take the carriage away.

The weapons under the generous robes of the priests collided and clanged, and the three of Zhong Ye didn't even hide it, and hung the weapons directly on their bodies.

The deacon who was in charge of receiving them turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

Even so, he had to show a smiling face that was uglier than crying, "Please, please follow me..."

The priest nodded to the deacon, led the team to follow behind the deacon, tucked his arms under the robe, and held down the handle of the weapon.

They have already entered the territory of the Raymond family, and they don't know what they will encounter next. If the Raymond family chooses to break with them directly, if they are not prepared, there may be casualties as soon as they meet.

Before seeing Viscount Raymond, one cannot relax his vigilance, and even after meeting Viscount Raymond, one cannot completely relax.

Zhong Ye followed behind the priest without saying a word. He just let go of his full attention and brought the conversations from all over the castle into his ears.

"Hostile."

An inaudible voice came from behind, the priest was slightly taken aback, and looked back at Zhong Ye who was acting as if nothing had happened, then at the deacon walking in front and the other servants in the corridor.

Everyone didn't respond...

The priest took a light breath, the movement became a little louder, and then he saw the body of the deacon in front of him tremble.

—It seems that other people really didn't notice.

Thinking of this, the priest tightened his grip on the weapon, and a battle might be inevitable.

A group of people followed behind the deacon without saying a word, and the silence was a little scary.

The deacon felt that the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and he couldn't help swallowing. Fortunately, Viscount Raymond's current location is not far from the gate of the main building.

Tuk Tuk Tuk!
"Master, Lord Graham and the others are here."

Then, a soft voice came from inside the door: "Your Excellency Graham, please come in!"

The deacon hastily opened the door and let the priest into the room.

"Your Excellency Zhong Ye, please come with me."

The priest extended an invitation to Zhong Ye, Zhong Ye nodded and stepped into the room.

Everyone else stayed outside the door, looking around vigilantly.

After the door was closed, the old man who was sitting on the sofa stood up and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency Graham, long time no see!"

"Lord Viscount Raymond, long time no see."

The priest bowed and saluted, instead of sitting down on the sofa opposite Viscount Raymond, he stood at the door with Zhong Ye and asked directly, "Master Viscount, you should know why we came here, right?"

The smile on Viscount Raymond's face faded, he was silent for a while, and sighed: "It's because of those paintings..."

"Exactly!"

The priest looked directly into the eyes of the old man, and asked each word: "Where are those paintings? And, where are those heretics?"

"The painting has been burned, and as for the cultists...the Raymond family has no cultists!"

Hearing this, the priest raised his eyebrows with anger on his face, "Master Viscount, you should know what the 'Abyss' is, and what will happen if you harbor a cultist—you should know!"

"I know that it will lead to the loss of life, and the destruction of the world."

Viscount Raymond shook his head and sighed: "But we really don't have any clansmen who have been transformed into heretics."

"...No, it seems that you don't know."

The priest also sighed, and under the astonished gaze of Viscount Raymond, he brazenly drew his weapon.

"Anyone who tries to harbor cultists will be wiped out by us!"

The priest waved a mace with a gloomy expression, "Master Viscount, let me ask you again—where are the heretics?"
