The Path of Ascension to the Priest

Jennifer and Aphra were imprisoned for a day, and finally got the chance to get out. Liz sent knights to take them to the detention room where Lola was trapped.

The light circle in the prison room was specially prepared for blood races below the fourth generation. After a day of torture, Lola's condition was very bad. Even the color of her eyes became lighter. Her hands were bound and she couldn't move. , the spirit was exhausted, but when he heard the sound of footsteps, he still raised his head hard, with sarcasm and contempt on his scarred face.

Jun frowned, and the hand holding the staff was about to move, but in the end she still didn't raise it. She looked at Jennifer and Aphra, and asked seriously, "Do you know this blood race?"

Aphra shook her head blankly, Jennifer stared at Lola for a while, and said lightly: "Yes, I was caught by her."

Zhu En's eyes flashed, "Tell me what happened in detail."

Jennifer frowned, and said expressionlessly about going to Kraft Town to expel the blood race, but subconsciously concealed the fact that the blond priest found her and saved her.

She had an intuition that the people in the Tribunal must be targeting the blond priest.

Jun was not very satisfied after hearing this, "Then how did you get out of trouble?"

Jennifer calmly replied: "She didn't suck me dry, I ran away after regaining consciousness."

Jun tapped his palms with his staff, and said in a deep voice, "You are Grace's entourage priests, follow her, have you noticed any strange behaviors by her?"

"For example, whereabouts are erratic?"

Although Aphra is Tang Qiu's entourage priest like Jennifer, she is actually not trusted, and she doesn't communicate much with Tang Qiu, so after Zhu En's voice fell, she immediately shook her head, but answered But Jennifer frowned.

Aphra distanced herself from the blonde priest, "I don't know her daily whereabouts, she trusts Jennifer more."

Jennifer gave her a cold look, and Aphra lowered her head guiltily.

June stepped forward, approaching Jennifer to put pressure on her, "Don't try to lie, otherwise, the Goddess of Light will punish you."

Jennifer lowered her eyes and shook her head coldly, "Priest Grace is normal. She handles religious affairs seriously every day. She is absolutely loyal to the Holy See."

"Has she not been behaving strangely?"

strange behavior?Does it count as disappearing for more than ten days in a row while escorting the believers of the light?Does it count as suddenly disappearing and returning suddenly under the guard of the holy knight?

The blond priest never hid these strange behaviors from her, so Jennifer just turned a blind eye.

The blond priest trusted herself, so she didn't want to betray her trust.

Jennifer raised her head and looked at June, and said calmly, "No."

"She is the most devout believer of the Goddess of Light."

June and Jennifer looked at each other for a moment, and slowly lowered their eyes. She was silent for a while, and raised her hand to gesture to the knight beside her.

The knight took Jennifer and Aphra down.

Originally, Jennifer thought that the knight was going to take them away and lock them up again, but what he didn't expect was that he actually took them out, sent them out of the confinement room, and then left.

Aphra breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand to wipe off the cold sweat, and when she looked up and saw Jennifer looking at her coldly, she hurriedly lowered her head and turned away.

Jennifer stared at her back, turned indifferently and planned to go back, but she bumped into Linda head-on just after walking a few steps.

Linda was looking at her with a complicated face, when Jennifer walked past her, she suddenly asked: "Why do you want to cover her?"

She was just next to the detention room, and she heard all the conversations between Jennifer and June.

She wasn't sure if Jennifer lied about the following words, but she clearly remembered that it was the blond priest who rescued Jennifer about the town of Kraft.

Originally...Jennifer should have to wait to die.

"She took your position as priest." Linda raised her voice, "If it weren't for her, you would be the other candidate for priest."

Jennifer gave her a cold look, "Is it you who is related to that blood race?" She remembered that when she saw Linda running over in a panic that night, there was faint blood on the pure white collar.

Linda denies, "It's not me, it's Grace."

Jennifer snorted coldly, crossed her and wanted to leave, but Linda had to get an answer from her, and stood in front of her not to give way, "Why are you protecting her?"

"Because she saved my life." Jennifer pushed her away with a flat tone, "So I am willing to follow her."

Linda was pushed aside by her, and looked up at her back in a daze. For some reason, the uneasiness in her heart was slowly spreading.

Imprisoned by the Trial House, the blond priest...should have no chance of escape.

Linda tried hard to convince herself to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, she bowed her head and left.

Since Tang Qiu was locked up alone, Liz and June never looked for her again, and Tang Qiu felt relieved, so he simply took out a bottle of holy water of light, opened it and put it on the table, and then read books to practice the spell of light.

She was too busy in the past few days, and the time for practice has been reduced a lot.

Tang Qiu was immersed in her practice, until there was a knock on the door, she raised her head and glanced out the window, and was surprised to find that the sky was almost dark.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and an unfamiliar face appeared in Tang Qiu's field of vision. A look of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she nodded politely to the person who came.

The visitor closed the door, and introduced himself to Tang Qiu: "I am Will, the entourage priest of Archbishop Cambecas."

Tang Qiu raised her eyebrows. She closed the book in her hand, stood up and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to meet you under such circumstances."

Will shook his head at Tang Qiu, and he didn't make a fool of himself, but stated the purpose directly, "The archbishop of Canbecas still lacks an accompanying priest, are you interested in going to the Central Holy See?"

He glanced around and said meaningfully: "It's the Central Holy See, not the Tribunal."

A flash of surprise flashed in Tang Qiu's eyes, and he looked up at Will, instead of answering immediately, he lowered his eyes in thought.

Will waited for her answer with confidence.

Monica ordered that all the guards in the cell be replaced by holy knights of the Holy See. Although Liz and June were unhappy, this was not their territory after all, so they could only give in.

As a result of non-inquisition people coming to guard, Tang Qiu's deserted small room ushered in another guest in the middle of the night.

When Reese raised her hand and pushed the door open, she immediately saw someone sitting in front of the table and reading a book leisurely, not at all embarrassed. The dim light shrouded around her, adding some warmth to this deserted place. .

She squinted her eyes, and took the initiative to break the warm and beautiful atmosphere, "You seem to be in a good mood."

Mario stepped forward and pulled out the chair, and Reese sat opposite Tang Qiu, with a table between them.

Tang Qiu raised his head from the book, his clear voice became softer at night, "How do you know I'm not pretending?"

Reese pursed her lips, "Because it doesn't look like it." She stared at Tang Qiu for a while, then suddenly said, "What promise did Cambecas give you? Did you get you out?"

Tang Qiu nodded honestly, "That's true." Campbecas not only promised to rescue her, but also recruited her to be a follower priest.

How many people are looking forward to this honor for a priest in the entourage of the archbishop in red.

Reese raised her hand and knocked on the table, raised her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's your answer?"

"I'm going to think about it."

"Oh?"

Seeing Ruisi's feigned surprise, Tang Qiu lowered her head and smiled. She closed the book and pushed it aside, and said solemnly, "The Archbishop of Campecas intends to give me a way out."

Reese's tone was lazy, "It may also be a dead end."

"Then it would be better for me to refuse." Tang Qiu shrugged, without any shock or doubt at Ruisi's words, and accepted it naturally.

Reese became interested, "You trust me so much?"

Tang Qiu glanced at her, and didn't want to continue pretending, and said bluntly: "I don't trust Archbishop Cambecas."

A red-clothed archbishop came to a branch of the Holy See with his entourage of priests, and even picked a little priest who had only met once and was being watched by the court for trouble. No matter how suspicious he thought.

Is it pity to get to this point?The other party is a cardinal with a deep foundation and is second only to the Pope and the Holy Son in the Holy See.

Tang Qiu hasn't given up thinking because of this dilemma.

Reese looked at the blond priest opposite with satisfaction, nodded and said, "I like smart people."

Tang Qiu leaned on the chair, smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Mario, who had been quietly staying aside, suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at the blond priest, and was surprised to find that when she met Ruisi, her aura did not lose the wind.

She, a priest, can do things that many bishops and some cardinals in the Holy See cannot do.

The smile on Ruisi's lips deepened, and she said softly: "Your subordinate is very loyal. She didn't betray you, and the blood clan who was imprisoned didn't betray you either. The court didn't get any evidence of your adultery with the blood clan."

Tang Qiu nodded slightly, and didn't feel excited, but asked calmly: "What about the decision of the judge?"

"Take you back to the courthouse."

What happened after returning to the courthouse, Ruisi felt that Tang Qiu would know without needing to mention it.

Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Ruisi thought she was worried, and a look of deepness flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to throw an olive branch at her, she heard the person on the other side sigh and say sadly: "If the person escorting me The team of the Inquisition Division was suddenly attacked on the way back to the Inquisition Office, and I was the only one who survived by chance, wouldn't it be suspicious?"

Reese: "..."

She took back the words she had prepared, looked at Tang Qiu meaningfully, nodded and said, "Very suspicious."

Tang Qiu sighed helplessly, "I also think this method is a little bad." She paused, looked up at Ruisi, and said with a smile: "Then can Archbishop Ruisi help me?"

"Get me out."

Reese looked at her silently for a while, feeling that what the other party planned might be different from her plan, she said lightly: "What can you give?"

She wanted the loyalty of the blond priest, and she needed a capable minion.

Ruisi observed Tang Qiu for a long time, and found that she was in line with her wishes in all aspects.

"I can help you." Ruisi's face was slowly clearing up after listening to Tang Qiu's words. Just as she was about to raise the corners of her mouth, Tang Qiu raised her hand to compare the positions of the two of them, and said word by word: " But not as subordinates, but as equals."

The corners of Reese's raised mouth flattened, she leaned back on the chair, and looked at the blond priest with her green eyes, her voice could not hear any emotion, "Why? Because you have a dog that can bite people ?”

Tang Qiu gave a low laugh, shook her head and corrected, "I raised a knight." She was not stingy about showing her a hole card to Ruisi.

Reese nodded casually, looked at her quietly, her breath was a little condensed.

Tang Qiu leaned slightly, with a confident and strong aura around her, she said with a smile: "I don't think you need a smart subordinate, but a well-matched collaborator."

"Only in this way can you do more things you want to do in the Central Holy See."

Reese looked at the determination in the blond priest's eyes, lowered her eyes slightly, and felt a little moved. She tapped the table with her fingers and made a crisp sound.

The room suddenly became quiet. Tang Qiu waited patiently for Ruisi's response. Although her proposal was bold, it was well thought out.

She knew that Reese would definitely be moved.

On the surface, she seems to be very beautiful, and she is also the youngest cardinal in the Holy See, but if you think about it a little, you will know that under the stable foundation of other cardinals, the position under Ruisi is particularly unstable. .

After an unknown amount of time, Reese nodded slowly in response, and said casually, "You can give it a try."

"But if you betray me, I will definitely try my best to push you into hell."

Tang Qiu chuckled, and said softly, "I will never betray my companions."

Ruisi glanced at her, got up and was about to leave, Tang Qiu looked at her back, thought of something, and said suddenly: "Wait, there is one more thing."

"Help me save that blood race."

Reese turned her head, looked at her delicately, and said with a half-smile, "Could the knight you're talking about be this useless puppy?"

"If it is, I may have to reconsider." It has to be said that Tang Qiuliang's hole card just now is also a point that makes Ruisi's heart flutter.

She didn't care whether Tang Qiu was standing behind a blood race or anything else, she only valued the other party's strength.

"It's not her." Tang Qiu thought for a while, and gave a reliable answer, "She is a friend of the knight."

Although Lucille never mentioned it to her, Tang Qiu could still tell that she still valued Lola.
