Chapter 355 See You Tomorrow

"First of all, I'll give you an afternoon. Whether you want to use it to arrange funeral arrangements or to verify the truth of the news, I don't care, it's up to you. In short, I will leave you this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the Temple of Contract, and under the witness of the two gods of justice and contract, I will write a confession and confess to your blasphemy."

"Impossible." Earl Sullivan obviously wanted to maintain the minimum initiative. "Do you think I will give you the weapon and let you put it on my neck?"

"Your Excellency, do you have any misunderstanding?" Shuer raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Do you think I am discussing with you? No, no, no, I am just telling you and ordering you to do this. All of this is This is a punishment for your blasphemy. If you want to blame it, it’s your lack of respect for the gods.”

Another sentence that was exactly the same, even the tone was imitated perfectly, like a heavy punch, hitting Count Sullivan in the face, making him look ferocious, but he could not get angry.

"Whether you do it or not, whether you discount it or not, this is not what I care about. You decide for yourself, as long as you are mentally prepared to be responsible for your actions. The Lord said that if you do something, you will get something. There is a reason. There must be consequences. The words of the Lord are truth. Praise the Lord of Wisdom. Holy." Shuer restored the peace and holiness of the priest. "I will wait for you at the Contract Temple at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Time limit. One hour, if you haven't shown up before nine o'clock, you can make arrangements for the funeral in the remaining time. At the Water Curtain Festival the day after tomorrow, Ms. Angela and I will join hands to accuse you of blasphemy. By the way, By the way, I will go to the Contract Temple with Lord Olanna tomorrow. You can try to mobilize your power to ambush me and see if you can be lucky enough to kill a legend and a golden priest."

Earl Sullivan's nostrils flared, his mouth tightened and he said nothing.

"Don't worry, this is just the first step. After writing the confession, there is still the next step. I suggest you have a good rest tonight and have a good sleep tonight. Otherwise, tomorrow will be a very busy day. I'm worried about you. I’m low on energy and can’t hold on, hehehe.”

"Thank you for your concern." Earl Sullivan's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"You're welcome. It is our apostle's responsibility to follow the Lord's teachings and never forget to care for others." He smiled and said the irritating remarks. Shuer's expression changed and he sneered, "To be honest, you are among the mortals. I think it is superfluous for our Lord to spend all his energy to protect such a person. It is a pity... Alas, God loves the world, no matter whether mortals are respectful or not, the Lord's will, that is, the will of our believers, praise the merciful Lord, it is holy."

"Praise the Lord (Lord of the Dark Moon)." The two girls also praised the gods at the same time, while looking at the Earl with cold eyes.

"After you finish writing your confession and have it notarized by the Contract Temple, you can proceed to the next step." Shuer said coldly, "This is why I give you time this afternoon. Organize your property and everything you own." I want one-third of the property, whether movable or immovable, to be converted into copper coins and handed over to me before the Water Curtain Festival celebration begins, otherwise, you know the consequences."

"What?" Not only Earl Sullivan, but also his two sons stared wide-eyed this time.

"You have bad hearing or can't understand Common Language?" Shuer sneered, "You shouldn't be so surprised. This is what Saff deserves. Originally, I should belong to half of her mother, but considering you in the future, I still I left a little more for you, but I only need a third.”

Xiure suddenly turned to look at Lisa and asked seriously: "Am I too kind?"

"Yes." The girl nodded vigorously: "Brother is the most kind."

Angela, on the other hand, although she didn't say anything, kept squinting at this guy who had no shame at all.

"Not a single copper of your money will be used by the Darkmoon Temple. It all belongs to Saff. Hehe, she has been worried about the funding gap. I have told her a long time ago, don't worry, don't worry, as long as the start-up capital is enough. Okay, it’s easy to find the funds to implement the plan, but that fool doesn’t believe it and is still secretly worried. In fact, I never lie and I have already thought of a solution for her. Look, isn’t the problem solved easily?”

"I can even tell her that this is because you know that you have been sorry for her over the years and have a heart to repent, so you cried and begged me to donate this property to the Temple of Knowledge to fund her plans. Maybe she will We will also name this money as the Sullivan bonus, so that you will have a reputation, Sapp will have funds, and each can get what they need, a win-win result, and you should be happy, hehe, I know you are secretly happy in your heart."

Indeed, Earl Sullivan is secretly rejoicing now.

Xiure explained to him in such detail and made these demands, which can only mean one thing, that is, from the beginning, he did not intend to really force himself to death, but only intended to make a profit. In this case, he would feel more at ease. Well, after so many years in the imperial court, His Excellency the Earl is not someone who has not experienced setbacks. Although he is humiliated, as long as he can live, there is still hope to get back up again. The humiliation now will be repaid when the time comes.

"You are right. I just lied to you. From the beginning, I had no intention of letting you die. Oh, of course I am happy that you are dead, but if this puts Saif on the psychological burden of patricide, it will Not so happy. After all, she is still very kind, unlike me who used to help..." Shaking his head, he shook off the memories of previous power struggles from his consciousness, "Look at you, you know how to change the subject. , causing me to ignore the important point." Huh?Angela decided to redefine this guy's sense of shame. It seemed like he didn't say a word.

"Anyway, I'm very happy, right? Then take advantage of the moment and smile more, because you will not be able to laugh anymore." Shuer said in a very calm tone, "The third thing is, after the Water Curtain Festival, the Empire There will be a big project, um, about the Emerald Light. At that time, all 21 Emerald Light emission sources will be taken out. I will hand over some of them to others, and the other parts will be transported to the Imperial Palace for processing. For research purposes, you should be responsible for escorting the equipment, I think you should have received news from the palace yesterday."

Earl Sullivan's face was expressionless. He no longer dared to show expressions, lest Soul could read his thoughts from his expression. However, he had indeed received the news, and the person in charge was indeed him. After all, Although he is only the commander of the Black Feather Legion, he has the highest status among the three legion commanders. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a military leader.

"As expected, it's you, that'll be easy to handle." Shuer said with a smile, "Haha, I will tell you what to do when the time comes."

"You want me to give them to you?" His Excellency the Earl felt that he had seen through Seul's mind.

"No, destroy them."

Just kidding, how could such a dangerous thing be left to Lion-Hearted King Leon.

The day before yesterday, Shuer entrusted Sora En to negotiate with Leon. He would take away the items that might be activated again and hand them over to the goddess, and Leon would send people to destroy the damaged ones as soon as possible.As a result, Solan sent back the news, and Leon agreed happily to the first request. After all, he didn't know what it was. He only knew that it was very dangerous. It would be better for Shuer to take him away to avoid trouble.But he has always been perfunctory about the second request. It seems that he does not intend to destroy them, but is preparing to relocate them and continue the glory of the Emerald Light.

Although the ones left behind are all damaged, the damage to the eternal core is known from the last memory of that life form. No one can say whether it is really bad or not. Once there is one that is not bad, what if? It's bad luck. If we encounter the same situation as the day before yesterday and we don't have protective clothing then, there will really be corpses everywhere.In this way, not only would Luna-sama feel guilty, but she would also feel guilty for her own negligence.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, it is better to completely destroy it. Of course, the Dark Moon Temple cannot take part in this matter. After all, it will offend the Jade Empire officials. Now that there is such a good candidate, how can we not take advantage of it?
"You..." Count Sullivan stood up abruptly, pointing at Soul speechlessly, his fingers trembling, "Do you know what will happen if you destroy them?"

"I know that King Lionheart will be very angry and wants to kill you with a knife, but you can explain that for the sake of the safety of people's lives and the reputation of the empire, you would rather disobey His Majesty the Emperor's will than completely solve the hidden dangers. With this excuse, His Majesty Leon will not hold you accountable for a fait accompli, haha, at least not in action."

"Do you know that this way my official career will be completely over?" Earl Sullivan's eyes widened, more angry than ever before.

"I know, so I said, you won't be able to laugh." Shuer said with a smile, "But, what does your career have to do with me?"

"you……"

"Power is a good thing. Sometimes losing power is more uncomfortable than killing someone directly." Xiure said leisurely, "But if you lose power, you can at least live. Two-thirds of your property is enough to live on. You can only survive if you lose power." Is there a chance, or do you want to choose blasphemy? I don’t mind, really, which way of death do you like, I will satisfy you, guillotine? Gallows? Burning at the stake? Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you are a high-class noble and will not use these disgraceful methods. According to the practice of the Jade Empire, you should enjoy the last glass of wine in the arms of a beautiful woman, right? I think you will like this last method. .”

"I...I..." Earl Sullivan's lips trembled, "After I do what you said, you promise to return the confession to me?"

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm an idiot for letting you get out of control and then trying to plot against me? That confession letter witnessed by the gods, after you do the last thing, I will dedicate it to me Lord, oh, I will make you worry for the rest of your life as punishment for your blasphemy against our Lord." Soul leaned over and patted the earl on the shoulder, "Think about it carefully, your superior earl, remember to go to eight o'clock tomorrow."

"By the way, there's no need to see us off. We know the way. Your Majesty the Earl is busy with official duties, so you won't bother us much. We'll see you tomorrow."

Amid the laughter, Xiu Er led the two girls away, and closed the door to isolate the three pale faces in the room.
