Chapter 84 Lodiv Mansion
Captain Anthony, he began to doubt the Lord of Lodiv.
This is the result of Luo Xiu's intentional guidance.
——When he mentioned that the information about this test of the "Ancient Hermitage" stronghold may have been leaked, any sane person would think of "there is a mole".
Then, after eliminating the suspicion of his teammates, he will naturally go up or downstream to make deeper speculations.
——For example, the "Information Provider", the Lord of Lodiv.
But what the truth is is not important in Luo Xiu's eyes.
All he had to do was plant a seed called "doubt".
…
"Luo Xiu..." Captain Anthony's eyes suddenly turned to him, "I remember that from the beginning, you seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the 'Lordif City Lord'."
"Can you tell me what the reason is?"
"...Of course, Captain."
Luo Xiu sighed and said: "That is about my teacher - the retired former Holy Judge 'Ivan Dimel'."
Therefore, Luo Xiu shared with his teammates how the "Lordive City Lord" tricked Ivan into helping him "clean up the filth" and how he humiliated him in public.
…
As Luo Xiu stated, Anthony and Connor's expressions gradually turned ugly.
Pamier's face could not be seen clearly under the hooded helmet, but it was easy to tell from her heavy breathing that the cold female knight was also experiencing some kind of ups and downs in her mood.
"That fat bald man... he is openly provoking the majesty of the Holy Court." Anthony's tone became extremely cold.
When Anthony changed the title of "Lordive City Lord" to "Fat Bald", Luo Xiu knew that his teammates were now officially on a united front with him.
Anthony's eyes turned to Luo Xiu, his expression turned kind again, and he said comfortingly:
"Luo Xiu...I can understand your anger."
"'Ivan Dimel', well, I have heard of this name before. He must be an excellent priest, so that he can teach an excellent student like you."
"Even if he is no longer the 'Holy Judge', this does not mean that the majesty of the 'Holy Court' can be trampled on at will."
"Don't worry, including this 'intelligence leakage' and what happened to your teacher, the great priest 'Ivan', we will go to the mansion early tomorrow morning to hold Lodiv accountable."
"..."
Anthony's words have reached this level, and Luo Xiu has nothing to add.
After discussing some trivial matters, the meeting of the "Holy Judge" team was disbanded again.
Before dawn, the "Holy Judges" must seize the last moment of sleep.
…
Luo Xiu returned to his room.
He just lay on the hardwood bed, thinking about his previous experience.
If he put aside the guidance to his teammates and analyzed the truth based on the information he knew, he would almost be able to come up with the answer.
Those ordinary people pretending to be "holy servants" are actually criminals.
This is a crucial point.
The ownership of the "criminal" should point to the underground prison of the mansion.
This can already be understood as a direct instruction from the "Lordive City Lord".
But this cannot be directly confessed to Anthony and the others, because the identity of ordinary people cannot be judged through exposed spiritual fluctuations like extraordinary people.
Then, if it is determined that the "Lordive City Lord" did deliberately mislead and lure them to the "disguised" stronghold.
...Then what is his purpose? What benefit does he get from it?
What Luo Xiu is mainly thinking about is this question. If we analyze the many movies and TV dramas we have watched in previous lives, one of the possible motives of "Lordive City Lord" is to use "death row prisoners" to disguise themselves as "Hermitage" believers, and deliberately give the Holy Court's Holy Judges Brush up his performance to expand his own connections.
This is indeed a very common technique among the aristocratic class.
If I say you are a bandit, then you are a bandit, and that's it after being suppressed.jpg
Then, the nobles can use these "capital achievements" in exchange for praise and awards from higher levels.
But if it were just like this, then the two genuine "Holy Servants" who [lost] the first level of destiny should not be left in front of the entrance of the previous stronghold of the "Primordial Monastery"... That would only really lead to "collaboration with the enemy" handle.
Therefore, in Luo Xiu's view, if we only analyze the motivations of 'Lodiv' from the perspective of political interests, it seems that we will only get countless paradoxes.
He has vaguely noticed that the 'Lordive City Lord' does not seem to be purely pursuing some kind of political or financial gain.
If, if those two "Holy Servants" who [lost] their first-level destiny, as well as the entire "Holy Judge" team including himself, are all "consumables" in Rodive's eyes.
——This is more like some kind of evil sacrifice.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu felt inexplicably afraid.
If the truth is indeed the case, then if the previous "test" of the pagan stronghold goes deeper, it may really encounter great terror.
…
"Wuye." Luo Xiu called softly.
From above the beams of the church room, an inconspicuous mass of pitch-black mist suddenly trembled.
The Kirigakure raven flew out of the shadows and hovered on Luo Xiu's shoulder.
Luo Xiu converged his spirituality and connected himself with the raven's field of vision.
He gave the raven "Foggy Night" a new command, letting it fly out of the church dome and fly further to the main street of Red Maple City.
Luo Xiu's field of vision overlapped with the "foggy night". He lay flat on the bed, feeling the field of vision when he was flying as if he was playing VR in his previous life.
He decided to "see" the truth for himself.
…
The foggy night finally landed on the window sill of an ocher-red building.
——The "City Lord's Mansion" in Red Maple City, where Rodive lives.
A hazy mist began to fill Wuye's body, and his figure was completely hidden in the mist.
It hid all its aura and flew into the palace of the city lord, looking for the specific location of the "Lordif City Lord".
Da, da, da——
There were footsteps coming from a room on the top floor.
The foggy night turned into black mist and got in through the crack of the door. He then hid the corners of the curtains and peered at everything in the room.
This is a very luxuriously decorated room.
There are furniture carved from various precious woods in the room, and a dazzling array of exquisite jade and gold vessels are placed on the ancient shelves attached to the wall.
In the center, behind a large golden nanmu desk, hangs an oil painting titled "Nobles on War Horse" framed with exaggerated jewelry inlays.
The armored nobleman in the picture does not wear a heavy knight's faceplate, but fully reveals his face - a round face, wavy curly hair, and two upturned moustache, which is very characteristic of the nobleman. Class is quite a trendy look.
And when Luo Xiu followed "Wisty Night"'s perspective and moved sideways, he saw the source of the footsteps that came from before.
...That's just a lump of fat wrapped in a nobleman's velvet clothes.
He has no hair left, but his beard still retains the two upturned tufts in the portrait.
The panel detection showed that it was the "Lordif City Lord". He had a sad face and looked at the letter he was holding tightly in his hand from time to time.
——Secret letter from the "Ancient Hermitage".
