Chapter 282 The First Step into Camelot (3k)

The death of the Patriarch brought storm to the entire city of Rodgrens.

And soon, this storm will begin to sweep across the entire New World.

In the Cathedral of Rodgrens, a monk was knocking on Father Hal's door with something in his arms.

"Father, there are some assessments of volunteer believers that you may want to take a look at."

With a bang, the documents in the monk's hand instantly fell to the ground.

A moment later, the entire cathedral was filled with the monks' screams.

Several monks and church knights rushed in one after another.

After seeing everything inside, they also felt their scalps tingling.

Father Hal was killed!
Almost at a glance they saw the cause of each other's death - death from blood loss due to a broken wine bottle slashing the throat.

This also reminded them of the believer who came in with a bottle of wine at the beginning. There was no doubt that he was the killer!
"I remember what he looks like. I'll go right away."

Before the knight could finish his anxious words, another priest who had just arrived called out to him:
"Wait a minute."

"priest?"

The priest covered his nose slightly and picked up the very conspicuous letter on the table.

There was no wax seal, and even the envelope was made of paper very casually, but there was a sentence on it - Sincerely, Patriarch Glenn.

To Patriarch Glenn?

Under normal circumstances, the highest religious leader in such a city is only the bishop or a patriarch of a higher level.

But outside the city of Rodgrens is the Rodgrens Cathedral where the Lionheart King and the Goddess of Storms met.

Therefore, this place not only has a Patriarch who is in charge of the faith in the southeastern part of the New World, but also has three Patriarchs as deputies and supervisors of the church.

In the absence of the Patriarch, these three patriarchs are the highest decision-makers in this area.

Normally, such a letter would never be delivered to a patriarch, and it would be the best that it could be delivered to a bishop.

However, this was the first time that a priest in their church was publicly killed.

This was even the first time a clergyman was killed in his memory.

Therefore, this particularity made the priest stop the knights and hesitate whether to hand it over directly to Patriarch Glenn or to let his own bishop review it first.

But it was also at this time.

They all heard the knights outside singing loudly:

"Patriarch Glenn is traveling!"

Then there was the sound of a lot of hurried footsteps.

Patriarch Glenn came in person?

It really has to be handed over to him!

This thought instantly appeared in the priest's mind.

He squeezed through the crowd, holding up the bloodstained letter and shouting without even looking at what was happening outside:
"Patriarch Glenn, the assassin gave you a letter!"

Patriarch Glenn, who was rushing to deal with the assassination of the Patriarch, was stunned for a moment.

what?
That daring assassin also gave me a letter?

No, could it be that some hostile faction wants to take this opportunity to suppress me?
Like, I'm related to the assassins or something?

But after taking a look at the crowd around him, Patriarch Glenn immediately gave up the idea.

Impossible, there is no such stupid operation.

So, is the other party really so bold as to openly challenge the church?

Patriarch Glenn's anger rose in his heart for a moment, but it immediately disappeared after a moment.

They have openly tried to assassinate the Patriarch, so what does a letter to me mean to them?

"Give me!"

The letter was immediately delivered to Patriarch Glenn by the knights.

As soon as he saw it, he frowned and said:
"Why is there blood?"

This obviously couldn't be the Patriarch's blood, so why was it stained with blood?
The priest and the people behind him all looked a little strange and said:
"Patriarch, that is Father Hal's blood."

Why do I feel like something is not right? Didn’t Patriarch Glenn come here for Father Hal?

Patriarch Glenn also looked at them strangely.

Who is Father Hal?
Our church?
The increasingly curious Patriarch Glenn opened the envelope and asked as he looked at him:

"Have you checked this letter?"

These words instantly froze the priest and the knight in place.

They've been at ease for too long.
Patriarch Glenn realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere and looked up. Then he cursed in fear:

"You bunch of losers!"

How can you give it to me without even checking it?

What if the other party wants to kill me again?

Isn't this a great opportunity?
Everyone in the church was scolded by Patriarch Glenn so much that they dared not raise their heads.

The knights were panicking and wanted to take the envelope to check again, but Patriarch Glenn, who had already seen something, slapped his hand away and said:

"What are you checking now? If there is a real problem, there is still time. Get out of here, you useless thing!"

The knight retreated, sweating profusely.

Patriarch Glenn also looked at the people around him, and seeing this, they all lowered their heads.

Only then did he continue to read the contents of the letter.

It was not long, just a few paragraphs, but it shocked him. 'Dear Patriarch Glenn, I believe that when you read this letter, you have already known the news of the death of the Patriarch, so do you and the cardinal who promoted you want to seize the opportunity to take over the city of Rodgrens?'

"If you want, you can use the mine under his name. The slaves who were randomly captured are all good witnesses. Besides, I don't think you can find more powerful witnesses than them. I also look forward to more cooperation."

'If you don't want to, then I can only find someone else to cooperate with and listen to their needs. For example, Patriarch Tange or Patriarch Andas.'

After reading them one by one, Patriarch Glenn immediately grabbed the letter in great anger and cursed:
"Damn you, blasphemer! He who brutally murdered the Patriarch dared to challenge me and the Church! What a damned devil!"

His speech instantly caused exclamations to be heard throughout the church.

Many of them were still unaware of the Patriarch’s death.

A priest had just been killed in the church, and now the patriarch who led the entire church was also dead?
Oh my God, what are these people doing?

Are they crazy?
The people in the church were all surprised, but not afraid.

Because they all felt that this must be a factional struggle within the church, and such things had nothing to do with small characters like them.

And in Patriarch Glenn's anger, the letter was also burned by the ignited flames.

It turned into a pile of falling ashes, and was completely turned into garbage after being stepped on a few times by him.

Obviously, no one would know what was said in the letter now.

After venting his anger, Patriarch Glenn directly called the original priest and asked:

"How did you get this letter?"

"Patriarch, the other party also killed Father Hal. The letter was found next to Father Hal's body."

what?
The other side also killed one of our people in the church?
Patriarch Glenn was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he was just a priest, a great patriarch had already died before, and the other party killed another priest in the church, which really made him quite scared.

Especially when he felt that the other party must be extremely powerful and influential.

Otherwise, why would the Patriarch be killed?
Patriarch Glenn pushed through the crowd and took a personal look at Father Hal, who was already completely disappointed.

Then he became more and more angry and said:

"Blasphemy! Blasphemy! Blasphemy! This damned lunatic, this damned devil. I must send him to the tribunal to confess his guilt!"

"Come on, follow me."

The crowd followed Patriarch Glenn again.

But after leaving the church gate, the knight in the car heard Patriarch Glenn say:

"Go straight out of town."

The knight was surprised and said:
"Patriarch, the Patriarch was assassinated in the lower city."

Patriarch Glenn glanced at the knight coldly and said:

"I know, but I say, go outside the city, to the old mine. Do you understand, sir?"

Such a big thing obviously cannot be left to the hands of others.

Regardless of whether he wants to continue cooperating with the mysterious assassin, he has to go to the old mine in person to obtain the biggest evidence.

Although everyone does these things, if something happens to you, don't blame everyone for being innocent.

The knight lowered his head and said:
"Yes, Patriarch."

Just like that, when the other two patriarchs rushed to the body of the Patriarch, Patriarch Glenn left the city and went straight to the old mine cave that belonged to the Patriarch.

Moon, who was being held by Lily and standing on a big tree, also saw this scene from afar.

After watching them leave the city, Moen couldn't help but say:

"Although I've seen this many times, these guys have never changed no matter where they are or what era they are in."

This is good, as it means his proof is becoming more and more likely to succeed.

This is not a good thing either, because the bugs can live a few more days.

Then he turned around and said to the girl who was holding him to prevent him from falling:

"So now, we have half of the key to open the Great Cathedral of Camelot."

The girl looked at Moen quietly and said:
"What do we do next?"

"Let's go to the tavern tomorrow."

The girl immediately understood Moen's idea. She frowned and said:
"They will definitely block the city, so the people behind them probably won't be able to get here in time, and they may not even be able to communicate with you remotely. So, isn't it too hasty?"

Moen smiled and said:

"If this can keep them from coming, then there is no need for us to cooperate with them in depth."

The further along in life, the bigger things Moen is going to do.

Therefore, the strength of the allies must keep up.

Otherwise, not only would it delay the retreat of Moon and the other two, it would also be sending them to their deaths.
-
Just as the girl predicted, the entire Rodglens was completely blocked after Patriarch Glen left.

Knights of the Church and soldiers of the Empire were searching house to house for suspicious persons.

The hotel where Moon and the girl were staying was also one of their targets for investigation.

But this was of no use, because the portraits they got did not match those of Moon at all.

So after Moon took the initiative to stuff a few silver coins in.

Not only did they withdraw with great satisfaction, they even specifically told their partners that this place had been thoroughly checked.

There was hardly anything that could be considered risky throughout the night.

This was even true of the previous assassination.

The depravity of this group of people really does grow anywhere within them.

But what makes Moen helpless is that it was like this when he came before, and it is still like this when he comes now.
