Lord of Lowland

Chapter 334
Cecil is waiting for his return in the chapel of Priest Alonso, looking at his chapel in his spare time. This chapel is still as simple and low-key as before. Cecil has long known that these people have great ambitions The great men of all time were very austere in their private lives, but Cecil preferred to deal with officials who liked to enjoy themselves.Because if a person is too greedy for the target, they will not care much about these details of life, so Cecil is more willing to deal with the corrupt officials in the kingdom when he is the lord.

At this time, a footstep came from outside the house, and the footsteps sounded like an old voice.That must be the High Priest Alonso, Cecil hastily stepped forward to meet the High Priest in three and two steps, preparing to meet the High Priest at the door, but before he reached the door, the door creaked and was pushed open up.But Cecil was taken aback.

What came in was a wrinkled old man, different from Priest Alonso's face that was always full of energy. Cecil was amazed!Who is this old man?Why is there a great priest's scepter in his hand?
Obviously, the old man was not much calmer than him. A person appeared inexplicably in the high priest's personal worship room, and it was also in the largest temple in the kingdom. It seemed that he had never thought of such a thing. Fortunately, it was a saint who appeared. The knight, if it was a demon, it would be a big scandal. He stood up and asked: "Who are you? Is this the Dawn Temple of the Kingdom of Soroland? Is this the place where the great priest Alonso worships?" room?"

"Young man, it's not you asking me now, but I'm asking you." The old man was a little dazed by Cecil's series of questions. He didn't expect that the young man would preemptively ask himself such a question like a cannonball. There are too many questions, as if it is you who need to check yourself instead of the other party. "But I can tell you about your problem." The old man in front of him straightened his clothes and said tremblingly.

"This is indeed the Dawn Temple of the Kingdom of Soloran, and this is indeed the chapel of the former great priest Alonso." The old man bit the word "front" of the former great priest very hard, and emphasized it here son.

Cecil's heart skipped a beat. Something happened to Alonso?This made him feel a little confused: "Excuse me, what happened to the great priest Alonso?"

"Young man, before you ask me a question, shouldn't you answer me first, who are you? What can you ask to directly reach the worship room of this great priest? What is your relationship with Alonso?" The old man on the opposite side Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Cecil's anti-customer-oriented questioning to himself, and finally asked Cecil in turn when he had the opportunity.

"Cecile Augustine is the fiefdom baron of the kingdom, and his territory is in Fordro County, Samara Province. A month ago, he was instructed by High Priest Alonso to go to the abyss to complete a task. It is a very important task, because it is confidential, only the High Priest Alonso and I know about this matter, and the coordinates of the city return scroll I returned from the abyss are set in the Priest's chapel, which is For the secrecy and effectiveness of the operation." Cecil realized that during this period, Priest Alonso might have made a big statement, and he had to deal with it carefully, so he answered the other party's question very comprehensively in one breath.

"Really?" The old man said to Cecil very arrogantly, "The high priest Alonso colluded with the blasphemy sect in an attempt to overthrow the Temple of Dawn, and also wanted to blaspheme the Lord of Dawn. The crime is heinous, and the crime cannot be punished. He was expelled from the church by Lord Clifford, the general spokesperson of the God of Dawn on the ground. He still wanted to resist, and even wanted to assassinate the king, but was repulsed by the king's guards, the priests of the Aluk Empire. After appointing 3 priests, the king and High Priest Clifford have officially deposed High Priest Alonso, and the old man is called Acria, and he is the new High Priest here."

When the old man said this, his expression was unusually serious, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue to Cecil. Although Cecil knew that the great priest Alonso was more or less likely to collude with the blasphemous sect, he just From the moment he sent Sandro to perform missions with him, he knew that this guy must know the guy from the Blasphemy Sect, but he never expected that the situation would turn so sharply after he went out for a month, and the great priest Alonso turned into a traitor.Isn't it troublesome for me who is closely connected with him?
"Cecil has seen the great priest. Alonso's collusion with the blasphemous sect is really a heinous crime. The king and Lord Clifford are wise and mighty. It is a blessing to save the temple. Cecil is willing to help Akria Your Excellency will work together to expose Alonso's sinister conspiracy."Since Alonso is already a laggard, Cecil sold him immediately. Although the ins and outs of the matter are still completely unclear, it is clear that the first priority now The most important thing is to completely dissociate from Alonso.

Cecil is generally unwilling to fight in a political battle. With his small body, it is impossible to make any big waves. He thought that the high priest Alonso could cover him, but he didn't expect this backer to be so unsafe. , I really feel sorry for myself who wants to bear his shadow and protection.

How did you know that the great priest of Acria didn't buy Cecil's nomination certificate at all: "Baron Cecil, you are a high-ranking person on our hunting list, don't you think that as Alonso Grand Priest? A member of the priest's inner circle, you are a wanted criminal in the Kingdom's arrest warrant just like him. Is it a little too late for you to clear yourself up a month after his downfall?"

These few words hit Cecil's heart like a thunderbolt. It was ridiculous that he was still flattering and expressing his allegiance, but he didn't expect that the other party had already labeled him as Alonso's party, and he was still "Alonso A core member of a party", what a joke, since when did I become a party member of Priest Alonso?Not to mention the core members, but political struggles are like this. Sometimes it is said that you are you, and you are not. At this time, it is impossible to argue.

"My lord, I am wronged. Although I have regular contact with High Priest Alonso, how can I say that I am in the same party with him? Since I have been loyal to the kingdom, I have been loyal and dedicated to both the temple and the kingdom. I hope the high priest can understand clearly." Cecil was still trying to defend in vain.
