Working Prophet.

Chapter 323 The Legacy of High Priest Reeves

It's not that Herodotus can't feel the dissatisfaction of those around him, he just doesn't care.

He had even turned down an invitation to lunch with Ser Eddard, head of House Raimundy, lord of Many Scales.

Although he did not express his position publicly, he has always been a strong supporter of Herodotus in private.

High Priest Martina never trusted High Priest Ke Kuon from the beginning to the end. The reason why her plan was revealed and she had to flee Multiscale City was actually betrayed by Sir Ed.

High Priest Martina wants to use the power of the Raimundi family to fight against the guards in the hands of Herodotus.

But I didn't expect Sir Ed to agree, and then told Herodotus about it.

If it weren't for a mysterious person who helped High Priest Martina at a critical moment, she would have been imprisoned together with High Priest Hesiod by now.

But Herodotus has more important things to do right now, and he can't take care of appeasing his important allies.

He finally made up his mind to go to Iron Horn City and meet the maid beside Merlin in person.

Before leaving, he found Jin Tong, and asked Jin Tong to lead people to keep an eye on several key targets in the city. If the target changes, he can be arrested first, and if necessary, he can kill directly.

After that, Herodotus declared to the public that he felt the call of the goddess and wanted to go out of the city to find the key to victory in the next battle.

In the end, it was fine if he didn't say anything. After hearing his words, everyone in the city became even more uneasy.

Because Herodotus didn't feel the call of the goddess in the early days, and didn't feel the call of the goddess in the evening. He just felt the call of the goddess when the army was about to overwhelm the border, and ran out of the city. It's not good, I plan to run away first.

Especially after seeing the mob outside the city, more and more people in the city are not optimistic about the next battle.

After Sir Ed heard the news, he didn't eat any food at all, and rushed directly to Herodotus' residence in a carriage, and then found that there were many people standing at the door, all of them staring.

After asking the guards outside the door, they found out that Herodotus had left Multiscale City. Many people, including Sir Ed, were laughed at.

On the other side, Herodotus took four cavalry from the Guards, traveling day and night, and it took only two and a half days to reach Iron Horn City.

When they were about to reach the outside of the city, two of the horses even collapsed to death from exhaustion. Even the cavalrymen of the guards were all strong and skilled in riding, and they all looked tired.

On the contrary, it was Herodotus, an ordinary person, although he was also disheveled, but he seemed to be more energetic as he ran, with bright eyes.

After entering the city, he went straight to the Grumpy Tavern, where he washed his face first, then ate a few mouthfuls of black bread to pad his stomach, and when the carriage with the cross engraved on the left wheel appeared, he immediately got into it.

He squinted his eyes in the carriage and took a nap for a while, and when the carriage stopped, Herodotus also opened his eyes.

The place he used to hide Clara originally belonged to his teacher, High Priest Reeves, and was secretly given to High Priest Reeves by a wealthy businessman in order to prove his devotion to the goddess.

And the latter reciprocated, making the rich merchant's daughter a priest three years later.

As the most valued disciple of High Priest Reeves, Herodotus did not remember how many similar things he had seen, and many of them were handled by him.

Because there are too many secret mansions, High Priest Reeves even forgot about the one in Iron Horn City. Anyway, he hasn't been here once for so many years.

Speaking of which, Herodotus really wanted to thank High Priest Reeves, not only because the latter was his teacher, who pushed him to the position of High Priest and let him manage the Guards.

And after the death of High Priest Reeves, Herodotus also took over most of the legacy left by High Priest Reeves.

These legacies are not just huge wealth, but also the power and information collected by the high priest Reeves who has worked hard for nearly a hundred years.

The reason why Herodotus was able to get on line with Sir Ed and let Sir Ed stand on his side in his battle with High Priest Martina was because he knew what Sir Ed really wanted.

It was also relying on the legacy left by the High Priest Reeves, he knew early on who in the meeting of seven could win over, who could intimidate, and who would never give in anyway, so he could use the fastest Time took hold of the upper echelons of the Church.

In short, Herodotus was very grateful to the teacher from the bottom of his heart, and planned to give the teacher a beautiful funeral after everything was settled.

As he thought about it, he got out of the carriage. Aunt Naima had already waited in the front yard ahead of time, and saluted Herodotus after seeing him.

Herodotus also nodded to her and asked, "What about the child?"

"Still embroidering in the house, Ruby is accompanying her." Aunt Naima said, "I'll go and call her here."

Herodotus waved his hand, "No, you lead the way, I'll go directly to her."

After walking a few steps, Herodotus stopped again, pointed to the Chinese characters on a nearby tree and said, "That child carved the divine pattern on it, too."

"That's right, as you told me, as long as she doesn't go out and doesn't contact people outside, no matter what she wants to do, we won't stop her, so I just let her carve such a blasphemous pattern.

"More than that, she also embroidered the same pattern on her handkerchief, clothes, and even sheets, calling out to her dirty Ability God."

"Then, did anything noteworthy happen?"

"Not so far, everything is the same as usual, it seems that her Ability God is also afraid of you and Pixie."

Hearing what Aunt Naima said, instead of being happy, Herodotus was a little disappointed.

Then he went outside Clara's house and heard the girls laughing from inside.

Herodotus reached out and knocked on the door.

The laughter inside disappeared immediately, and Ruby's voice sounded after a while, "Is that Mammy Naima outside?"

"What are you guys talking about? It seems quite interesting." Herodotus said.

When Ruby in the room heard his voice, her expression couldn't help changing slightly, and she didn't dare to neglect, and quickly opened the door immediately.

Then he wanted to salute, but was stopped by Herodotus.

Ruby took two steps back to make way for Herodotus to come in from the outside, and then took off the cloak on Herodotus.

Herodotus moved his wrist and said to Ruby, "Okay, you can go."

Ruby hesitated for a moment when she heard the words, as if she was a little worried about Clara in the room, but when she met Herodotus' gaze, she couldn't help being shocked.

Although Herodotus had a smile on his face, his eyes had turned cold.

Ruby didn't dare to play any tricks, and obediently left the room.
