Working Prophet.

Chapter 350 Luncheon
The scene in the multi-scale city is shocking.

The first thing High Priest Martina did after entering the city was to arrest the remnants of the new army. Not only those who were still making trouble in the city, but also those who had committed evil before, had to be found out one by one and accepted for trial.

This decision was fully supported by all citizens.

With the situation before the Skitarii entered the city completely reversed, the new army, which was showing off its power the night before, has now become a street mouse, and the citizens have gone to the church and the city hall to report the crimes committed by the new army.

And as these crimes were gathered in the hands of High Priest Martina, her frown became deeper and deeper.

She had tried her best to imagine the evil of human nature, but she still didn't expect that someone could be so evil.

Due to Herodotus' absolute indulgence of the new army, the law and order in the city deteriorated appallingly in a very short period of time. Looking at the bloody crimes, High Priest Martina's face quickly changed. It was livid.

She couldn't imagine what kind of villains could annihilate humanity to such an extent, they were no longer worthy of being called human beings, they were just beasts.

High Priest Martina didn't know where Herodotus found these bastards, but as the investigation continued, High Priest Martina gradually became silent again.

Because she realized that most of these people were ordinary citizens before they joined the new army, the bottom of the city, beggars, thieves...or nearby villagers.

High Priest Martina also saw some people, and rescued them when winter came, sending them clothes and food.

These people are also very grateful.

Moreover, High Priest Martina also has a certain understanding of their situation, knowing that most of them are honest and dull on weekdays and are often bullied.

What impressed High Priest Martina the most was a young man, he was only 15 years old this year, and he was an apprentice in a blacksmith shop in the city before.

According to the rules of Bratis Continent, there is no salary for apprentices, but the shop will take care of meals and arrange accommodation.

However, the owner of the shop, a blacksmith, was very stingy and asked him to do the heaviest work every day. Seeing that he was a foreigner and had no relatives or friends in the city, he would often give him bad food that had been left for several nights, and let him sleep on the bed away from the door. nearest place.

When winter came, he couldn't sleep because of the cold wind blowing through the crack of the door, and he almost froze one night.

Not long after joining the new army, he returned to the blacksmith shop and made an iron coat for the owner of the blacksmith shop, saying that he wanted to repay him for his kindness.

And after he took out the red-hot iron coat from the stove, he put it on the shopkeeper directly, scalded the latter to death, then killed the shopkeeper's wife, and made the body into a pot Roasted pork, left for three nights before eating.

There are countless similar things... The more I look at it, the more frightened High Priest Martina becomes.

I was shocked by the cruelty of those villains, and saddened by their previous encounters. The most important thing is that there are too many of these people.

The voices in the city to severely punish the murderer have overwhelmed everything.

However, Herodotus recruited a full 2 new troops during this period. Even if some of these people were killed during the battle, and a small part of them were innocent, there were nearly [-] remaining.

If the trial is really strict, at least 1 people should be beheaded, and the rest will inevitably suffer from flesh and blood.

And the most important thing is that these people are all believers of Silver Moon Church, not only that, many of them are very, very devout believers.

Otherwise, they would not respond to Herodotus' call to stand up and join the new army when the church was facing a crisis.

Although there is no absolute evidence, High Priest Martina has a vague hunch that these people are also part of Herodotus' plan.

Although Herodotus left Multiscale City, he dug a big hole for her before leaving.

She now has to be very cautious when dealing with these people.

High Priest Martina thought for a long time, but didn't think of a solution that would satisfy all parties, so she finally put down the quill in her hand.

Rubbed his temples.

High Priest Martina is already 220 years old this year, even for a half-orc, this age is already very old.

Although she acted very decisively in this crisis, no matter whether she fled early or summoned the cathars formed by the major families in a timely manner, only High Priest Martina knew that her energy was not as good as before up.

Especially these days, I just marched for hundreds of miles, and then went to the city to deal with a lot of business. Now I just want to close my eyes and have a good sleep.

However, she knew that she could not rest yet, Herodotus was still outside, running somewhere, planning something.

To be honest, High Priest Martina couldn't understand what Herodotus did in Multiscale City, especially when she asked a lot of people what Herodotus did in the city during this time After that, she even wondered if the man had gone crazy.

Because any sane person would not be able to do the bizarre things he did in the city.

But for now she had to put Herodotus aside and go to a celebration feast.

All the nobles in the western region unanimously supported her this time, and even borrowed troops to help her win the battle. She must express her gratitude, and besides these people, the Raimundi family is also waiting for her statement.

Let's see if the previous misunderstanding between the two parties can be cleared up.

Of course, High Priest Martina also disdained Sir Ed's swaying and indeterminate behavior. If possible, she would not want to see the latter's shameless face again.

But it is impossible for Silvermoon Church to move out of Multiscale City for a while. As long as the Raimundi family is still the owner of Multiscale City, the two sides will definitely have to deal with each other in the future.

High Priest Martina still has time to use the Raimondi family, so the relationship between the two parties should not be too rigid.

In addition, the high priest Hesiod was tortured to death in prison shortly after Herodotus captured him.

The remaining four high priests had to succumb to Herodotus' despotic power, but as High Priest Martina regained control of Multiscale City, they are now in an embarrassing situation, and these days are a bit uncomfortable. Know how to face High Priest Martina.

But High Priest Martina also knew that she couldn't push them to the end. First, she didn't have the right to be the High Priest. Second, her battle for orthodoxy with Herodotus was not over yet, and Kekuon and others were still needed. support.

With the help of this banquet, the four high priests can also be appeased.

In short, this banquet is very important to either party and cannot be shirked.

High Priest Martina changed her clothes specially and arrived at the Santo's Mansion at noon.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Sir Ed's enthusiastic smiling face. The latter also introduced to him the results of his work during this period, including the fact that Herodotus kidnapped a pharmacist to make poison in the city from unknown sources.

Sir Ed personally led people to raid the wine shop, and found a large amount of nuxon inside, which is a highly poisonous plant. In addition, he also found no less than ten barrels of poison, which has already made people destroyed together.

High Priest Martina praised the Raimondi family for their efficient work and protection of the residents in the city. Afterwards, the two sides also said some other scenes. In short, the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

After all the guests had arrived, Sir Ed personally invited High Priest Martina to the main seat.

High Priest Martina led everyone to finish the prayer before the meal, then raised the wine glass in his hand, and said solemnly, "Praise the goddess."

All the guests, including Sir Ed, also toasted after hearing the words, and echoed in unison, "Praise the goddess."

After speaking, everyone drank the amber wine in the cup together, and began to enjoy the big meal in front of them.

Sir Ed drank the fastest and most vigorously, but he still felt very thirsty after drinking, and his throat was dry, so he asked the maid on the side to pour him another glass, and drank it down.

Dordot, who was sitting across from him, noticed his abnormality shortly afterwards, pointed to his eyes and said, "What's wrong with your eyes, why are they so red."

"I don't know, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Sir Ed said indifferently, and something dripped on the back of his hand as he spoke.

Sir Ed lowered his head and saw a bright red, and then his eyes began to blur, and he fell headfirst into the bowl of pudding in front of him.

Not just him, almost all the guests at the meeting felt uncomfortable at this time.

They tried their best to spit out what was in their mouths, but it was too late.

High Priest Martina didn't like drinking, so she didn't drink much just now. She was the last one to collapse in the hall.

Seeing the guests fell to the ground one by one with bloody mouth and nose, and in great pain, her gaze finally fell on a statue of a goddess in front of the door.

There was no time to do anything else, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground so heavily.
