Go back a few days ago...
In the Grand Cathedral in the center of Niceburg, the leader of Elvis Bishop just finished a prayer.
After the bishop gave his usual speech, the clergy dispersed.
Elvis Bishop, who looked calm just now, changed into a solemn look.
He came to the cafeteria and prepared to have dinner.
In fact, with his status, he could order the kitchen to prepare meals for him alone.
But except for special periods such as illness, Elvis has always insisted on eating a big pot of rice with ordinary priests in the cafeteria. This is also an important reason why he is so popular.
He sat down where he had always been, and the church servant set the plate before him.
Elvis picked up a boiled egg and kept banging it on the table without stopping.
A priest next to him was very surprised. Bishop-sama's egg was almost broken, but he didn't notice it, as if he was thinking about something.
"Master Elvis? Master Elvis?"
The priest gently pushed Elvis's arm to wake him up.
"Oh..."
Elvis Only then did he realize that the eggs in his hands were almost broken.
"Lord, forgive me."
The bishop regretted his waste of food. He carefully peeled off the broken eggshell bit by bit and finished the boiled egg in small bites.
The priest on the side looked at it with great admiration. Bishop-sama was really strict with himself.
Another priest came over in a hurry. He came to Elvis and whispered in his ear, "Master Anthony is back."
"I understand. Get a breakfast and send it to his room and ask him to wait for me there."
"Yes, Bishop-sama."
Elvis sped up his eating speed, and in a short time, everything in front of him was wiped out.
After thanking Lord of Light for giving him another sumptuous dinner, he got up and walked to Anthony's room.
Anthony also just finished his dinner and received him in the room.
Elvis said with a guilty look on his face, "Master Anthony, I accidentally let go of one Witch. I really have to bear the responsibility of a bishop."
Anthony was very confused. "What happened? Tell me slowly."
Elvis looked embarrassed, as if he didn't know how to speak.
After a long time, he said slowly, "Something happened while we were transferring Witch last night."
"Last night? Did you meet a wolf?"
Anthony refers to the unusual wolf howling at night. It is estimated that there are many wolves on the roads outside the city. There is a high probability that the team escorting Duchess Finnie will encounter a wolf pack.
"Yes, after a whole night we didn't receive a call back from the escort team. As soon as day broke, I sent a team to the church to find out."
"But we found a lot of traces of wolf activity on the road, and... the bones of the people we sent out yesterday, all of them..."
"May their souls ascend to heaven. That Witch also..."
"She escaped! Her bones were not found at the scene! It appears that the escort team was attacked by a pack of wolves, and Witch took advantage of the chaos to escape, but I don't think the matter is that simple!"
Elvis shook his head and said, "It must be that Witch! It must be that Witch who used evil magic to summon nearby wolves to attack our escort team."
The more the bishop spoke, the more he gritted his teeth. He now believed that the strange movement of the wolves last night was caused by Witch Finnie.
"Otherwise this evil Witch has absolutely no reason to survive alone."
Anthony said a little regretfully, "So, we can't do business with Eton Duchy?"
Elvis was a little dejected, "Yes! It's really hateful. Are we just going to watch an anti-Church alliance form?"
Anthony comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much, Bishop-sama. Even if Eton Duchy obeys us, the effect they can have is limited."
"I know this. In fact, my unwillingness is mainly to let go of that Witch."
While the two were talking, a voice came from outside the door. "Elvis, is Master here? I have something important to report."
"Master Anthony, I'll come as soon as I go."
Elvis got up and went outside the room, and he came back after a while.
But there was a look of shock and anger on his face now.
"Sir Anthony, I just received a report. Eton Embassy announced that they found Duchess Finnie - that damn Witch really ran back! The news they made public was that they intercepted the gangster gang that kidnapped Duchess Finnie outside the Eaton Guard City!"
Anthony said thoughtfully, "It seems that what happened last night was not simple."
Elvis turned around anxiously. "This must be related. The gangster group Eaton claimed may refer to our escort team - it is possible that Eaton's escort was also on that road last night."
"Ahhh! I should have guessed it a long time ago. Etonian must know that their baroness is a Witch, and they also know our plan through some way. Together with the evil wolves summoned by Witch, they attacked our escort team!"
Elvis started to make up his mind.
Anthony asked him, "Bishop-sama, what should we do now?"
Elvis raised his voice. "What else can we do? Of course, tell the story about Witch and let everyone in the world know the truth. Let the people know that Eton Royal Family is protecting an evil and filthy Witch."
Anthony shook his head, "Bishop-sama, I advise you to calm down. When Duchess Finnie is in our hands, we can disclose that she is Witch at any time. The evidence, but she is not in our hands now. If we unilaterally declare that she is a Witch, it will cause big trouble, especially at this time when the relationship between Church and the Cape Bay countries is so tense."
Elvis snorted, "Those stupid rulers! So what, the people are on our side."
"Oh, the position of the common people is the most unreliable. Today they praise the glory of God, but tomorrow they will shout long live the king!"
Elvis stopped talking. He looked at the flame on the candle and seemed to be thinking about what he should do next.
"Bishop-sama, instead of breaking up with Eton Duchy right away, it's better to do another thing first. I think this thing is more important."
"What could be more important than destroying the evil wizard?"
Anthony showed a solemn expression and uttered one word. "Destroy the mole!"
"The mole?"
"Yes, as you just said, Eton Duchy probably knew about our plan in some way."
Elvis stood up loudly.
"If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten!"
There was a cold look in his eyes.
"There must be degenerates among Grand Cathedral who have abandoned God's teachings and devoted themselves to darkness!"
