Spear and Cross

After they dealt with the follow-up problems in the civilian area, and barely restored order to the messy streets and residential areas, they handed them over to the city guards and returned to the temple one after another.Because of the weird kiss, Fraxis was obviously a little embarrassed, but Hampton's emotions were so high that he even hummed an out-of-key tune all the way back.

The squad of knights escorting Rein had arrived long ago, and sent Rein to the dungeon according to Fraxis's decision, so that two priests who were good at spells in this area could inspect it.As the person who subdued it, Fraxis was naturally going to assist in the inspection when he returned to the temple, but he had just got off his horse and before he could get more information, he was invited to the room of the chief priest.

Fraxis originally wanted to go to see the situation on Rein's side first, and then report to the chief priest, but he didn't expect that he would be known by the chief priest as soon as he came back.He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Didn't the chief priest say the reason? I'm going to deal with it now..."

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but the chief priest didn't explain the specific reason." The two knights who were sent on duty obviously didn't know what was going on, and their faces were a bit embarrassed. "His order is for us to put the Please go to his room, you..."

Hampton was standing right behind Fraxis, of course they didn't dare to lie, then something must have happened to the chief priest.Fraxis glanced at Hampton, beckoning him not to mess around, and then smiled at the two knights comfortingly: "Don't be nervous, I'll go with you right away."

The knights saluted quickly as if they were pardoned, and took him away.

Hampton stood where he was, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.The chief priest has never been a quick-tempered person. Even a person like him who often disobeys orders has never been summoned so urgently. Fraxis just went to deal with the riots in the civilian area. Not only was he accompanying him, but the matter has been resolved Well, there was no sense in being called to the chief priests upon his return.

What happened?

He felt inexplicably uneasy, and after going around the knights, he was going to go to the chief priest to see what was going on, but he had just counted the number of wounded, and before he had time to go out, he received the news brought back by Feng Na .

"Priest Faronard has been temporarily suspended, and the chief priest has put away his priest ring."

The priest's ring is a symbol of the status of the priests of the temple. Although Fraxis does not usually wear it, its importance cannot be underestimated. What happened? The chief priest not only "temporarily" suspended him, but also confiscated it His priestly ring?

Hampton felt that he couldn't stay any longer, so he left the counting work to Feng Na, and walked to the main hall where the chief priest lived.

"I'll go see what's going on."

When Hampton rushed to the room of the chief priest, the suspension of priests in the temple for the first time in recent decades had ended. Fraxis walked out of the room with a normal expression, and was a little surprised when he saw him.

"How did you come?"

"Fonner said that you..." Hampton looked him up and down a few times, and felt that he was terribly calm, and he really didn't seem to have experienced any major events. "He said you were suspended, isn't it true?"

"Well, it's true."

He spoke too directly, Fraxis touched his nose unnaturally, raised his legs and walked into the garden, "The chief priest and several other priests are discussing how to deal with my matter. It will be officially announced later. But how did Feng Na know so quickly, are the knights patrolling the gate eavesdropping?"

Except for patrolling knights passing by occasionally, no one is allowed near the room of the chief priest. Even the knights on duty in this area are at the rank of squad leader. Today it happened to be the turn of the vice-captain of Feng Na's squad, and Fraxis went in. Saw him before.

It is precisely because this team is Hampton's cronies that he speaks so openly - after all, they even know that he has been suspended, so it's okay to say these now.

"Do you still care about other people's eavesdropping?" Hampton followed his footsteps, and before leaving, he paid attention to the closed door of the head priest. "Who is inside? Why are you suddenly suspended, priest?" Are you going to announce it to us?"

Fraxis led him along the path in the garden for a while, and stopped by the fountain.He sat down on the bench by the pool, then patted the seat beside him, motioning for Hampton to sit down.

"Let's talk, and I have some things here, just for you."

"Talking here?" Hampton raised his eyebrows. Although there is no one else in the garden except them now, no one can guarantee that no one will break in during their conversation.As a place where anyone can come and go, the garden is inherently inhospitable to conversation.He was a little surprised that Fraxis had chosen to talk to him here.

"It's nothing important anyway, and the entire temple will know soon." Fraxis set up a sound-proof barrier, and then took out a small box from the space ring and threw it to him, "You take this first, I don't think it's safe to put it with me, but it's safer to put it with you."

Hampton opened the box, and there were two transparent small bottles inside, one of which was a viscous orange-red liquid with a faint sweet smell, and the other was a translucent white paste, even if it was covered You can also smell the fresh grass smell when you take off the lid.

"What is this?" he asked.

"The purple one is the extract from the body fluid of Anderma Phantom Butterfly larvae. It was given to me by Priest Gut. The other bottle is extracted from the scent glands on Lilian's body. It may be useful. Please put it away for me."

Hampton stuffed the box into his pocket, then sat down next to him, turning his head to watch his expression.Fraxis sat as usual, not responding to his gaze. It seemed that his attention was temporarily attracted by the fountain. Hampton stared at his somewhat too handsome side face for a while, and suddenly remembered their first The scene of the first meeting.

At that time, he never thought that such things would happen with this beautiful noble young master, but thinking about it now, he finds it a bit funny.Fraxis' character and style are far beyond his expectations, and he is often led by the other side, which is not in line with Hampton's usual tough style, but he is like this It's a little strange to be attracted by the same tough Fraxis.

"Will you tell me why the chief priest suspended you?" he asked.

Fraxis smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you want to or not, anyway, you will know sooner or later - Priest Moxi found no traces of the curse on me, and Priest Alunka found no traces of casting spells. I can't prove that Rein It really has nothing to do with me, and I can only temporarily suspend my duties at such a sensitive time. The decision of the chief priest is not wrong, and I have no opinion."

"It's your own choice." After a brief silence, Hampton didn't say anything else, but confirmed what he said earlier.

He knew that Fraxis didn't want to complain, and before he came back, he asked him if he was sure he wanted to do this. Regarding his decision, according to Fraxis's personality, he would not regret it.But he didn't expect that there was no trace left on Fraxis' body. Rein told the Cavaliers that it was Fraxis who turned it into an undead creature. If there is no other evidence, then unless Rein can wake up Come here, or Fraxis will be at a very disadvantaged position.

They all understood that it was already a very gentle way for the chief priest to temporarily suspend Fraxis in such a situation.After all, priests are different from ordinary priests. They are regarded as the closest to the goddess of light. Fraxis has a relationship with undead creatures, so naturally he cannot continue to hold such an important position during the ceremony.

"It's my own choice, you're right." Francis smiled and turned to look at him, "Chief Knight, I'm in deep trouble now, and probably no one else is willing to help me—I can Do you believe me?"

"Of course." Hampton replied without hesitation.

"Believe it without reservation?"

He asked, looking at Hampton with those ocean-blue eyes, as if he was just staring, but also as if he was confirming the authenticity of his emotions.Hampton has to admit that "looking sincere" is like an innate talent in Fracis, and it is really difficult to lie to him.

He raised one corner of his mouth, without avoiding Fraxis' gaze: "Of course, you can trust me without reservation."

He thinks the atmosphere is very good. It can be said that there has never been such a good atmosphere between him and Fraxis. It would be better if the topic of conversation was not like this.He was trying to find another topic—for example, since Fraxis can't do anything else for the time being, why not have a date tonight or something—Fracis didn't give him this opportunity, but found him a job Drudgery: "Then do me a favor, now I can't go in and out of the archives, you go and help me find something."

"..."

Unexpectedly, he was unwilling to stop even for one night. Hampton rubbed his forehead helplessly, "What are you looking for? I'll lend it to you. It might be faster for you to find it yourself."

He is not interested in the archives in the archives that have been stored for hundreds of years and will increase in number every once in a while. Besides, Fraxis is more than a little better at reading than him, so it would be a waste of time for him to look for them. up.

"No, I'm afraid you don't even have the right to borrow what I'm looking for." Fraxis shook his head and handed him a note, "Go back and look for yourself, and filter out the contents after you find it Remember, I will wait for you in the room at night."

In terms of level, Hampton, as the leader of the Knights, is at the same level as the battle priest Fraxis, and has the same authority.Since Hampton could not borrow it, that is to say, even if Francis went there by himself, he could only read it on the spot and had no right to borrow it.

There are not many files in the file room that have reached this level of confidentiality. Hampton looked at Francis suspiciously, and did not directly open the folded note, but nodded and put it away.

"I'll find you tonight."

Hampton went back to his room and changed into a less casual outfit. Earlier, he only took off his armor before going to Fraxis, and such a dress was not allowed to enter the archives.After tidying himself up, he opened the folded note and frowned after seeing the contents clearly.

Fraxis wanted to see the files of the priests of Mosi and Alenka.

It’s no wonder that his authority is not enough to borrow. Except for the chief priest, the other eleven priests and the two heads of the knight order can only read them on the spot, and cannot take each other’s files out of the archive room, because these materials are important to the temple. Words need to be kept absolutely confidential.

After all, no one wants their weaknesses to be known by the enemy, and as the rulers of the temple, their own information leaked out is enough to become their fatal weakness.

And theoretically speaking, they cannot disclose to others after reading the materials. The contents of these files can only be circulated among 13 people of the same level. Fraxis is now suspended, so Hampton should not be able to tell him It is impossible for him not to know about the contents of the file.But since he asked so, Hampton guessed that the chief priest did not lift his authority. Although he was suspended from his post and could not go to the archives to read the files of the two priests, he still had the qualification to know the contents of the files.

He destroyed the note and went directly to the archives room without wasting any more time.

The archives were guarded in turn by the senior priests of the bishop's rank. Unfortunately, today's turn was an acquaintance, none other than the green-eyed young bishop that Fraxis had singled out to provoke him earlier.His eyes widened and he looked surprised to see Hampton enter the door.

"Glory to the goddess, Knight Commander Brandon, this is the first time I see you here."

"...Good day, Julian." Thinking of what happened this morning, Hampton felt a little embarrassed, "I want to see two files."

"Oh...Okay." Julian still looked surprised. He looked up and down at Hampton, as if confirming his intentions, and after confirming that the other party had no other intentions, he took the handed over and wrote Name note, and then opened the corresponding file room, "Because of confidentiality, you can't take the file out, you can only read it inside, I will check it before you leave, Knight Commander, are you sure you want to go in?"

Hampton nodded.

"Okay, I'll time you. You can read the file at the latest until I ring the alarm bell." He glanced at Hampton again, hesitated, and let him enter the file without saying anything room.

Here is the oldest protective circle in the temple. What Julian opened was only stored in the deepest room, corresponding to the two small compartments of Priest Mosi and Priest Alunka.These files not only have paper parts, but also some images saved by the illusion spell. Naturally, Hampton couldn't take them out, so he could only quickly read them all, and then screened out the key parts that Fraxis needed.

Fraxis didn't really need his attention much, and his memory was very good. He locked on the target after only one quick reading, but after the second detailed reading, Hampton had almost memorized them all.

Before this, he had never taken the time to look at the personal files of these colleagues, but after reading it, he had to admit the importance of locking them here and keeping them under strict supervision.

He put the files away as they were, and returned to the entrance.Julian seemed to be thinking about something, and he came back to his senses when he came out: "Have you finished reading the required materials?"

Hampton allowed him to check himself, confirmed that he did not bring any files with him, and listened to the confidentiality notice before he was allowed to leave.At this time, it had been a long time since it got dark. He looked in the direction of the restaurant and was thinking about whether to go directly to the kitchen to find something to eat. Julian hesitated and grabbed his sleeve.

"Chief Knight, I don't know you tonight..."

His implication was obvious enough, and the expression on his handsome face was very moving, but Hampton just gently pulled his hand away and smiled at him.

"Sorry, I have to lead a patrol tonight, I'm afraid I won't be free. After the festival, if you have time, I will take the initiative to invite you."

Because it was too late, there were only a few dry sandwiches left in the kitchen, and Hampton had no choice but to take them back with his head full of documents.Unexpectedly, after knocking on Fraxis' door while eating a sandwich, he saw two or three plates with snacks on the table.

"Let's talk while eating." The nobleman who had changed his white robe sat down at the other end of the table and poured him a cup of tea.

Hampton raised his eyebrows and gave him a meaningful look: "Is this a comfort to me?"

"Whether it's a consolation or not depends on the quality of your work." Fraxis filled his cup, then added some hot water into the teapot, indicating that he could start, "Thank you, Knight Commander."

"It seems that I should have been more serious when I remembered just now."

Hampton pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him, decisively discarded the dry sandwich, took a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, "I screened the information in their files according to your requirements, and now I will recite it to you directly ?”

"Yeah." Fraxis put a stack of paper in front of him, then put the quill pen into the ink bottle and dipped it in the ink, "Say it, I'll write down what I need."

Lilian jumped out of the box in the corner of the room, walked gracefully to the table, looked up at them for a while, seemed to be thinking about something, then she made a decision, and jumped lightly onto Hampton's lap .

"Hey, little princess." The knight scratched the root of her ear, and Lilian let out a comfortable purr.

Fraxis knocked on the table, and then one man and one beast looked at him: "Chief Knight, it's time for us to start."

"Okay, we'll continue later." Hampton stroked the soft hair in the middle of Lilian's ears soothingly, and began to recount the contents of the file.He ate and memorized at a normal speed, and he was not worried that Francis would not be able to record it in time. Since the train of thought in his memory was very clear, he did not need to sort out too much. Almost finished his retelling.

Fraxis quickly finished what he needed. He put down his pen and wiped his hands before picking up his cup and taking a sip of tea.

"Why did you check Moxie and Alenka? Do you suspect that there is something wrong with them?" Seeing him stop writing, Hampton finally asked in order to satisfy his curiosity, "Is there anything suspicious about them?"

"I just want to confirm some of my guesses. Their files have solved a lot of doubts for me." Fraxis pushed the content of his records to him, "Especially Priest Moxi, his young experience made me Very surprised."

"Which part are you referring to?" Hampton had read the original file and knew more about its contents than he did. Hearing him say this was also aroused, "Let me guess... it's him Was he abused by his stepfather in childhood, or did he almost become a battle priest, but in the end he could only stay behind the scenes?"

Compared with the Alenka priest who was born in a minor noble family, the Moxi priest obviously had a much more unfortunate childhood.His biological mother died young, and his father soon married a second wife, but this lady died of illness soon for some unknown reason.After that, his father didn't marry another wife, and it wasn't until he died in a sudden fire several years later that little Moxie was sent to the temple because of his outstanding magic talent.

Afterwards, the person sent by the temple to investigate the truth found that he may have been abused by his father during that period, but because there was no tangible evidence, this passage was taken hastily without detailed records.

Priest Moxi himself probably didn't know that his files had written these things. Unless it was a special case, people inside the temple were generally not allowed to read his files, even they were the same.Hampton was still a little surprised when he turned to that paragraph, because judging from the current character of Priest Moxi, if he hadn't read his file, Hampton would not have believed that he had been abused.

"A little bit of all, but that's not what caught my attention."

Fraxis tapped two of the records with his fingertips, motioning him to read them.

"'The cause of the fire is unknown' and 'chosen into the temple due to talent in magic'?" Hampton raised his eyebrows, "Do you think... the fire that caused his father's death was caused by him?"

"I can't say for sure, because it's too old, and we don't have any other evidence." Fraxis turned his head slightly, with some hesitation in his tone, "Think about it, what type of spells is Priest Moxi good at?"

"..."

Hampton's face became serious: "...a curse?"

His gaze shifted to Fraxis's right hand that was on the table, very close to him, the black vortex was still slowly turning, "What did he say when he checked your hand?"

"I didn't say anything." Noticing where his gaze fell, Fraxis shook his head and wanted to put away his right hand, but was held down by Hampton first, "After he checked, he only spoke to the chief priest. Said I had no trace of the curse on me, and nothing else."

"He is an authority on this matter, and his opinion is naturally persuasive to the chief priest." Hampton frowned, "He said that you have no traces of curses on your body, but no one else has checked...Alenka also Not good at cursing, he can only judge whether there are ordinary traces of spellcasting on your body, but he will not check the curse problem for you."

Fraxis had thought of this a long time ago, but regarding Hampton's speculation, he just shook his head slightly and said: "I have no evidence, these are just speculations, and as a temple priest, I shouldn't have guess like that."

"I didn't know you were such a kind person." Hampton gave him a mocking look. "You've been suspended now, remember, dear?"

Fraxis was startled, then stretched his brows and smiled.

"……you're right."

Hampton reminded him.He has nothing else to worry about now, because he was suspended, he no longer needs to be busy with all the previous jobs, he only needs to focus on clearing himself of suspicion.

This state cannot be maintained for too long. Although the chief priest has not announced the fact that he was suspended for the time being, the ceremony will begin soon, and all priests will be present. It is impossible to hide this matter——to Fraxis In terms of this, this is simply a public execution.

It had only been a few months since he was promoted to the rank of battle priest, and he was suspended so soon for being suspected of cursing and killing people, and having a relationship with undead creatures, which had never happened in the temple.No matter for him, or for the king, the Magic Research Institute, or even the entire noble group, this is a shame.

Fraxis was unwilling to let himself be such a shame and a joke, so he had to prove that he had nothing to do with Rein's transformation into an undead creature as soon as possible, and restore his priesthood.

He looked up at Hampton, who also happened to be looking at him, and after meeting his eyes, he raised a corner of his mouth, showing a familiar smirk: "How about it? Do you want to 'act without authorization' with me?"

Fraxis smiled at him, did not refuse, only said: "I hope this 'unauthorized action' will not be as bad as last time."

They had a similar conversation in front of the house where the Anderma phantom butterfly larva was hidden in the civilian area, and the result of their unauthorized actions was really not good.When he mentioned this matter at this time, Hampton couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded: "Can you think in a better direction? What if we find clues tomorrow and find out who is behind the scenes?"

"Naturally that would be great." Fraxis blinked, "I'm just making a reasonable assumption, isn't it? It's indeed possible, after all, even if something unimaginable happens now, I won't feel Strange."

"...Well, you have the final say." Hampton raised one hand in surrender, then changed the subject and asked another question.

"I have worked so hard for you, my dear, is there any reward?"

Fraxis raised his eyebrows: "What kind of reward does the knight commander want? You can say it and think it's worth it."

"I'm very greedy, are you sure you want to let me ask for it?" The hand raised by the knight turned around, squeezed his chin softly but could not refuse, and kissed him, "What if you don't want to do it after I tell you?"

Fraxis lowered his eyes, with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked very moving in his eyes.

"I'm not worried, because I believe you will consider the limit of this reward for me."

"Is this also part of your trust?" Hampton gently lifted his chin with his index finger, looking straight into those beautiful blue eyes, "Should I be grateful for this? Although at this time, some greedy people seem to be It is more in line with my personal principles...but since you are willing to believe me, then I should also show my sincerity."

Lilian, who had been left out for a long time, grunted a few times in dissatisfaction, but did not get any response from any of them, so she jumped to the ground and returned to her box by herself.

The next morning, Fraxis received an invitation from the priest of Mosi.

"Should you go to him for another examination?" Hampton lazily leaned on the bed and stretched his body, he was a little skeptical about the purpose of this invitation, "Could it be that he doubted his own judgment? Not his style."

"Whether he wants to change his words or not, I have to go this time." Fraxis put on his white robe, and carefully fastened the buttons one by one, frowning visibly when he got to the one at the neckline, " ...You were very unkind last night, Knight Commander, you know, this will embarrass me."

Although the hickey is on the depression between the collarbones, and the high collar of the priest's robe can completely cover it, he still feels a little unhappy - the other party's aggressiveness and possessiveness are too strong, which makes him feel a kind of temptation that cannot be weakened. Sense of oppression.

"Okay, I'll pay attention next time." The knight who got the benefits agreed sensiblely, stared at his back in the belt for a while, then suddenly got out of bed, and took Fraxis's with great interest. Headband, "Since you are in a hurry to go to Priest Moxi, let me help you with a little favor."

Fraxis didn't refuse, and in his opinion it was just a little fun between lovers-even if he and Hampton were not lovers, it was still a pleasant little game.

Hampton ran his fingers through his hair, smoothed it out, and then tied it with a white satin headband embroidered with gold thread, all of which went smoothly beyond Fraxis' surprise. It couldn't be more skillful.In the end, he lifted a strand of hair from Fraxis's cheek, kissed it on his lips, and said with a smile: "I wish you all the best today, baby, just come to me if you have any orders, and I am happy to help you at any time. "

Fraxis thought that the result of this inspection would be the same as before, but to his surprise, Priest Moxi asked him a question after the inspection.

"Priest Faronard, have you come into contact with Gege Beast recently?"

"..." He withdrew his right hand indistinctly, covered the whirlpool with his cuff, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "Why do you ask that? Gege beasts have been extinct on the mainland for a long time, haven't they?"

He was suddenly asked about the Gege beast, which made him more vigilant - without any special reason, it is impossible for Priest Moxi to suddenly ask about a kind of monster that has been "extinct" for more than 300 years.Although the Anderma Phantom Butterfly larva was still with Priest Gut, and it could not be ruled out that the other party cared about its natural enemies, Fraxis didn't think that Priest Moxi would care about the big bug locked in the cellar at this time.

Priest Moxi sorted out the spell-casting props he used to check the vortex in his hand, and then smiled at Fraxis: "You don't have to be so nervous, I just suddenly remembered the larva you and Knight Commander Brandon found earlier, feel free to just asking."

"The larvae have already been handed over to Priest Gut. I haven't found the Gege Beast. It's too rare, and it may not be useful, is it?"

"That's true." Priest Moxi didn't continue to ask, just said, "I will report your inspection results directly to the chief priest, so don't worry."

Seeing that he didn't intend to directly tell him the result, Fraxis didn't force it, and even thanked him before leaving.But in fact, the fact that he directly told the chief priest the result of the inspection, which already shows that the result is suspicious.

Why can't you tell him?Was there any information that he couldn't have known in advance?

Or... Once he is informed of the result, some uncontrollable situations may occur?

Now that he had doubts about Priest Moxi, Fraxis no longer made good assumptions for him, and he didn't think that the other party would think of Gegemon at this time by such a coincidence.He and Hampton just found the larva by accident. It is also a very uncommon knowledge that Gege Beast is the natural enemy of Anderma Phantom Butterfly. After all, these two kinds of monsters have been extinct for a long time.In contrast, he was more inclined that Priest Moxi had learned that he had private contact with Gege Beast, so he asked him this way.

He felt that it was necessary to make an appointment with Embogle first, so as not to be unclear about Lilian's background later.

At first he didn't give Lilian directly to Priest Gut, because she was borrowed from Enbogle in his own name, and there might not be a second Anderma Phantom Butterfly, so he took her first. stayed in his room.Fraxis originally thought that he would save a lot of trouble by doing this, but now it seems that this may bring him more trouble.

After he returned to the residence, he found a knight squire to deliver a message to Embogle, but the latter returned soon, and brought him back news that might not be very good.

"The butler of the Viscount Embogle told me that the Viscount has just received an invitation from His Excellency the High Priest and has come to the temple."

"...Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Fraxis suddenly felt that sometimes he really should listen to that fellow Hampton. For example, his beast-like intuition was less likely to make mistakes when it came to the fate of Lein and Lilian.

The chief priest will invite Embogle to the temple, which further affirms his previous conjecture - Priest Moxi has indeed known that he found the Gege beast in private, and even where the Gege beast in his hand came from. All figured out.Although according to Embogle's previous performance, Fraxis didn't think he would say anything unfavorable to him... But the current situation is too special, and he has some ominous premonitions.

He didn't try to contact Embogle again, because the chief priest sent someone to invite him over soon.

The red-haired young nobleman was sitting on the chair in the chief priest's room, and seemed to be enjoying the treatment of guests, which originally made Fraxis slightly relieved.But upon closer inspection, everyone in the room had subtle expressions, especially Enbogle, who was looking at Fracis with a deceived look, and even twisted when Fracis approached. She opened her face, unwilling to look at him again.

Francis felt a little puzzled, what's going on?He saluted the chief priest first, then turned to Embogle and nodded slightly to him.

"Good day, Viscount."

"...Good day, Your Excellency." Embogel seemed unwilling to talk to him, and responded with some reluctance.

This made Fraxis even more difficult to understand the current situation. He looked in the direction of the chief priest, but happened to meet the eyes of Priest Moxi who was sitting next to the chief priest.The latter showed him a kind smile, but he saw some other emotions from this smile.

In fact, Priest Moxi concealed it very well. If it were someone else, Fraxis didn't think these complicated emotions would be noticed, but he was different, because he had been surrounded by such emotions since he was a child with.Whether it is among the noble children of the same age or among the classmates of the Magic Research Institute, there will always be someone looking at him with such eyes.

He doubted his eyes, but if he read correctly, he clearly caught unreasonably complex emotions in Priest Moxi's smile, including irony, disdain, and even a trace of jealousy... But why?Why did Priest Moxi have such emotions towards him?

"Sit down, Fraxis." The chief priest waved his hand, gesturing him to sit down first, "Just now Uriah came to me and said that he found an ancient curse in the classics, and its totem is the same as that on your hand. The swirls are very similar."

Ulea was the name of the priest of Moxi, and Fraxis glanced at him. The latter had already covered up the emotion that he had shown just now, and there was no trace of it anymore.

"Really? That's a good thing." He pursed his lips and smiled, pretending that he hadn't found anything, and then turned the topic to Enbogle, "Since you mentioned the curse, I thought you asked me to come here Talk about this matter... But what has the Viscount got to do with it? Why bother him?"

"Because of Lilian!" Embogle interrupted him suddenly, and his tone was unexpectedly excited, "Your Excellency, I originally thought that you borrowed Lilian from me for the benefit of the temple. Thinking that you actually used Lilian to cast a curse on Rein, where did you put the integrity of the temple priests and the reputation of the Faronard family?"

How is this going?

Fraxis looked at the chief priest, trying to get an explanation from him, but the chief priest ignored his gaze and only said, "Flassis, you didn't mention to me that you have borrowed the Gege beast."

"...I'm sorry, I didn't think enough about this matter, but is there any misunderstanding?" Fraxis glanced at the angry Enbogle, and sighed helplessly in his heart, "I want to viscount embogle by gegg
