Succubus' Manor

The civilians affected by the disaster have a place to live and a job—the job is either chopping firewood on the mountain or grinding flour, but at least they have something to do.

When you have something to do and food to eat, your heart will settle down.

There is a third force in the Holy City. Chi Yan is not only the lord appointed by the Holy Court, but also has a good relationship with the nobles. The merchants are also willing to please him for the goods brought by Stettin's merchants. Suddenly, Chi Yan was in the limelight.

And Chi Yan also received unexpected news on the fourth day after the snow disaster.

Saint Abbot is dead.

He was already old and in poor health, no matter when he died, no one would be surprised.

The important thing is that the Holy Academy has no leader now, and the holy masters have obviously not grown to be independent.

Because of the death of the Holy Dean, the saints gathered again to the Holy Court and prayed for the Holy Dean. It seemed that the Holy Court rejected them before.

People are always bewitched by temporary good faith, and the Holy Court took the opportunity to recruit many people.

But the benefits of the Holy Court are nothing compared to the dangers they face.

Without the Holy Dean, whether the local Holy Academy will be obedient is another matter, and more importantly, they do not have a next Holy Dean.

There are so many saints, who should we choose?Generally speaking, the Holy Dean will choose a successor for himself when he is alive. This is called inheritance. Only when he is recognized by the previous Holy Dean can this Holy Dean be proved to have the ability to communicate with the Holy Spirit.

Those holy masters who usually seemed to have no desires and desires began to try to fortify and compete for support.

They are not only looking for internal supporters, but also external supporters.

Sure enough, as long as they are human, as long as they have greed and ambition, even in the so-called holy courtyard, they can fight like black-eyed chickens.

There was even a saint who boarded Chi Yan's door.

Chi Yan is not what he used to be, he has become a fragrant bun. Apart from some civilians who love him, more importantly, some of Chi Yan's soldiers have come one after another. Now Chi Yan has more than 1000 soldiers.

The Holy Court was in turmoil, and the royal family was shackled by the nobles. They were powerless against the soldiers brought by Chi Yan.

If it was admitted that Chi Yan brought soldiers, the two of them would definitely send troops to drive Chi Yan's soldiers out, and then arrest Chi Yan for questioning.

But now the situation is complicated, none of them dare to act first, let alone they hope that Chi Yan can contain the other party.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, and they all thought that Chi Yan's enemy was each other.

So they can only pretend that they don't know, and if someone asks, they have to insist that Chi Yan brought guards, not soldiers.

In short, we must insist that we must not give the other party the opportunity to continue questioning.

The nobles have all benefited from Chi Yan's hands. Gold, fine wine, and countless sugars are enough for them to exceed the wealth accumulated by their ancestors.

So they don't mind being obedient when the Queen tells them to do something.

If the queen can't promote them to the title, then they might as well sell Chi Yan to save face. After all, the benefits Chi Yan gave them are real, but what can the queen give them?

They also made sure that the queen would not dare to abolish their titles.

Chi Yan's "good popularity" played an important role in this official appearance.

"The Holy Dean is dead." Bandley sat in front of Chi Yan.

Bandley is a very inconspicuous one among the saints, and Chi Yan didn't even know his name before he came.

But this humble person has strong ambitions.

Chi Yan took a sip of water: "I'm not a saint, I won't fight with you."

Bandley looked into Chi Yan's eyes: "If I become the dean of the Holy Spirit, I swear that I will share my power with you and give you a place in the Holy City."

Chi Yan laughed: "What you can give me, don't I already have it now? This is not sincere enough."

Bandley was stunned for two seconds, but he quickly continued: "I will give you the seat of a holy master. After I die, you will inherit the seat of the holy dean."

For Bandley, it was the most alluring thing in the world.

Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked him, "How many people in the Holy Court support you?"

Bandley clenched his lips, and said through gritted teeth, "They were all bewitched by Axi because Axi was the oldest."

Yaxi is the head of the Holy Master, the oldest, and the longest time in the Holy City Holy Court. It is normal that the Holy Court has many people who support him.

Chi Yan said "Oh", obviously not very interested: "In that case, why don't I make a deal with Yaxi? Yaxi should also want to become the dean of the Holy Spirit, right?"

Bandley: "He won't! He's a fool! What does he know? My lord, if you choose me, I will give you more, and I will give you what others can't give you."

Chi Yan smiled and said, "You can only give me the seat of a saint teacher."

Bandley lowered his head. He didn't hate Chi Yan who rejected him, but because he couldn't afford it, he hated Yaxi who blocked his way even more.

Chi Yan put down the water glass and sighed: "Well, I'll give you a chance to prove to me that you have the ability to become the dean of the Holy Spirit with my help."

Bandley raised his head quickly, and looked at Chi Yan with light in his eyes.

Chi Yan: "Ah Xi is in charge of the Holy Court now, right?"

Bandley nodded, and cursed viciously, "That idiot!"

Chi Yan smiled and said: "In this case, we must pull him down first. What is more exciting, spread more widely, and more powerful than a scandal? As long as there is a scandal, even if Yaxi is admired again, he will not Gotta come down."

Bandley: "...but..."

Chi Yan: "I know, you are worried that the scandal will make it difficult for you to take the position, but if you can't even eliminate the scandal, what qualifications do you have to become the dean of the Holy Spirit?"

Bandley's chest rose and fell, and his face flushed: "I can!"

Chi Yan gave him an encouraging look: "I remember that on Spirit Festival, the body of a child molester was thrown from the roof of the holy courtyard. Tell me, what will happen if people know that Axi molested a child? Sample?"

Bandley's breathing suddenly became short of breath!

Chi Yan: "You have to let everyone know."

Bandley gritted his teeth and said, "But I also..."

A trace of nausea and disgust flashed in Chi Yan's eyes, but he suppressed this feeling and continued, "Can't you do something? Or are you so stupid that you want to count yourself in?"

Chi Yan looked into his eyes: "This is not helping me, but helping yourself. I have given you an idea. As long as you follow suit and pull Yaxi down, I will help you in the future."

Bandley: "But in this way... civilians will feel..."

Chi Yan shook his head: "The common people will find that Yaxi is such a vile and lowly person, and to show all this and prove to people that you will make the Holy Court better, what an excellent and upright saint worthy of people's trust." Dean."

As soon as the words of the Holy Dean came out, Bandley lost all his sanity.

He has always been the most inconspicuous and worst one in the crowd. He was able to return to the Holy City only because the Holy Academy did not find a more suitable person that year.

The former Dean Sheng didn't pay much attention to him, but he didn't think he was inferior to anyone else!He is no worse than anyone!

If Aki can, why can't he? !

Bandley returned to the Holy Court in a trance. He didn't go back to his room, but waited until late at night, and quietly went to a hut in the corner of the top floor of the Holy Court by himself - all the holy children were here.

He lightly unlocked and opened the door. The hut was pitch black, and only the moonlight could see the beds in the room. Those children who were pampered by their parents at home could only be treated like pets when they came here. Locked in the house, he became the so-called "Holy Child".

Bandley walked to the bed, he liked this child the most, he felt that this child was a bit like him when he was a child.

He was also sent by his parents when he was so young, and he was as beautiful as this child.

So when he watched the child cry and struggle miserably, he felt like he was looking at himself, which was amazing.

It was so amazing that he often asked the priest to take the child to his room.

Do you really want to let him go?

Bandley pursed his lips.

If you let him go, will he identify himself?

Otherwise, leave him alone.

Bandley woke up several children. The children looked at him in horror. They didn't even dare to shout - they were "educated" many times, and they couldn't make loud noises in the holy courtyard, otherwise they would have to If you are beaten, you will be hungry.

"Come with me, I'll take you out." Bandley showed a kind smile.

The kids are still nervous, they've seen too many "nice" adults.

Bandley: "Come on, come with me, I won't harm you."

Just take these few children out, just take these few children, he has never touched these few children.

The children looked at their friends who were sleeping next to them.

A child quietly pinched his sleeping partner while there was no light.

The partner opened his eyes. The children here are very vigilant, and they have their own "rules". If they are woken up by strangulation, they should not speak.

This "rule" was originally for them to remember the companion who was taken away at night. If the companion did not come back, it would prove that the companion was dead. They must always remember it and tell the companion's parents in the future.

Then the partner heard that Bandley was going to take the children away.

The children didn't dare to resist Bandley, they followed Bandley out.

When the footsteps faded away, the boy who was woken up woke up all the children. He made a hissing gesture, took the other children to put on their shoes, and then walked along the place where he heard the footsteps just now.

Like thieves, they stood on tiptoe without speaking, without making any movement.

If the floor was made of wood, it might be a bit noisy, but the holy courtyard is made of stone, so it is very quiet.

The back door of the holy courtyard was opened!

Bandley will be at the door soon!

The boy clenched the table knife in his hand, which he managed to steal.

When Bandley heard footsteps and turned his head, what he saw was a flash of cold light.

And that hideous child's face that is very similar to him back then.

"go to hell!"
