Chapter 62 Everything is ready, the advantage is mine

The three priests left the meeting room with gloomy faces.

Xifei issued an ultimatum, requiring him to find the Death Knight's horse and sword within ten days. If he found them, he would continue to be a priest, otherwise he would go home and spend time with the hawk.

It is impossible to find it. The Death Knight's warhorse comes and goes without a trace. Legend has it that it is a magical life created by the Goddess of Death to reward the Death Knight. The warhorse has its own spatial magic, and no one can find it unless it shows up on its own initiative.

Even if they were lucky enough to come across it, they would not be able to keep the warhorse.

The three priests are all silver mages who have risen to their positions through seniority. They are politicians in the church and are good at management but not at fighting. Their strength is far inferior to that of Sphy or the high priest candidate Sidney.

In the entire Windsor Natural Church, the only one who can compete with Heaphy is Sidney.

Even Sidney didn't dare to say that he could keep the undead warhorse.

The Death Knight and the Warhorse are a whole. If the Undead Warhorse comes to Londan, the Death Knight must be nearby as well.

None of the natural church elites in Windsor had ever defeated the Dark Knight, let alone the Death Knight who was more famous earlier. With the precedent of the previous high priest being half-dead, Sidney did not have the courage to challenge the Death Knight alone, and he was crazy enough to go looking for trouble with the horse.

The three priests could not bring back the undead warhorse, nor could they bring back the death knight's sword. The shadow nightmare was notorious and carried the curse of death. Anyone who touched it would be corroded and corrupted by the power of death.

The body collapses, the mind becomes still, and even the soul cannot be preserved. Everything is devoured by the shadow nightmare and sent to the kingdom of death to be frozen forever.

Shadow Nightmare is an evil holy artifact that cannot even be touched. It is too terrifying and should not exist on the Chosen Continent.

So, on the surface, Xifei gave them ten days, but in fact he directly sentenced them to go home, pack their bags, and leave after ten days.

Don’t leave, follow the process!

"Damn bastard, who does she think she is? She's a scalpel that specializes in combat and she was lucky enough to climb to the position of priest. She was transferred to Lundan and appointed as the new high priestess so that she can assist us and appease Sidney, not to fight for power." Lawrence said with a cold face.

"It's ridiculous to say that we are corrupt and accept bribes, as if she has never been corrupt!" Dana gritted his teeth. He hated double standards the most.

Priestess Simon said weakly: "I heard that her family is very rich..."

"Her husband is just rich. You know Auston Landau, the banker."

Lawrence said dismissively: "Auston's reputation is well known. He is a playboy and has never lacked women around him. The reason they are together is definitely not because of love. One is lustful and the other is greedy for money. That's all."

Dana said sourly, "She really doesn't need to make money. If she wants money, she can just open her legs. It's legal!"

Priestess Simone did not respond. Her two colleagues' comments on Xifei were full of disparagement and disdain, which made her, as a woman, feel very uncomfortable. She said, "What should we do now? Should we order a city-wide search for the Undead Warhorse?"

"So what if I find it?"

"..." x3
There was really nothing we could do after finding it. Simon sighed and said, "The high priest did this just to make us submit. Sidney was implicated by his teacher. Although he lost his power, he still has a large number of supporters in Windsor. Many people are watching secretly. The high priest needs our support."

"Why, you want to be her dog?"

Lawrence sneered, "After a few months, you should be able to see what kind of person she is. It's not free to be her dog."

Many people want to be dogs but can’t find a way!
Simon sighed, said goodbye to the two, and went alone to give the order to find the undead warhorse.

The two colleagues have been in office for many years and have enjoyed too much happiness brought by power. They have become inflated and have forgotten the declarations they made when they joined the church and the original purpose of their pursuit of power.

Dana watched Simon leave with cold eyes: "Simon has already given in and called that woman the high priestess. As far as I know, that woman invited her to dinner."

"That's normal. Among the four priests, she has the least power. Now that there is a power vacancy, she will naturally try her best to beg for mercy from the new master." Lawrence sneered, "What a pathetic girl. She has become stupid from sitting in the office. She actually thinks that the enemy will let her go. Without us, she is nothing."

"What should we do?" Dana frowned.

Lawrence remained silent. It was impossible for him to give in. The first time he saw Xifei, he felt that this woman was particularly annoying. When he thought that she had become his superior, he felt an indescribable disgust all over his body.

Dana, too, hates Heaphy very much.

It has nothing to do with personal grudges; it's purely a desire for power. If any high priest with strong power is parachuted in, they will feel resistant.

The two of them strolled in the garden pavilion, each of them thinking about their own things, without saying a word.

After a moment, they both stopped at the same time, looked at each other and nodded.

Find Sidney and let him deal with Xifei!
If we talk about dissatisfaction, they are just that dissatisfied. The person who is most dissatisfied with Heaphy in the whole of London is Sidney.

In terms of strength, achievements, status, and reputation, Sidney is the real successor to the high priest. He was deceived by his teacher and could not take power directly. And it was Xifei who wiped out the Earth Core Cult and drove him out of office. Adding up the grudges before and after, it is possible that Sidney has been preparing something.

"Want to go find out what's going on?"

"It's just a cup of afternoon tea, what's the big deal?"

"Tell me, is Sidney connected to the Geocentric Church? Has he been suppressing the information?" "Probably not. When the legendary wizard was still around, Sidney was the most loyal student. Now that the legendary wizard has become the Lord of the Void, he hates his teacher more than anyone else. He's even trying to hide from him. It's impossible for him to be involved with the Geocentric Church."

"That's right, unless he's crazy."

“Hahaha——” x2
"..." x2
"Do you think it's possible that Sidney is crazy?"

"Don't be suspicious. Sidney is one of the attending physicians at the Red Leaf Forest Lunatic Asylum. If he was crazy, he would have been locked up long ago."

"Right."

"Let's go and have afternoon tea with him."

----

Lundang, West End.

The black car drove away from the villa and the two priests left in disappointment.

Sidney only talked about black tea the whole time. He was not dissatisfied with the new high priest Heaphy and was happy to enjoy his retirement life. He also advised the two of them to listen more to the high priest and not have any messy ideas.

We are all believers, so the struggle for power can be put aside. Serving the goddess is the top priority.

Lawrence and Dana didn't believe it. If you could be more open-minded, you would have given up your power three months ago. Why wait until now to preach?

The trip yielded nothing, so the two priests decided to come back tomorrow for afternoon tea.

According to the rules, Sidney should change his words after three times: today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

The camera returns to the mansion surrounded by trees. The three-story building was originally off-white, but most of the coating has peeled off, revealing the internal brick and stone structure. Traces of erosion by time can be seen everywhere on all sides of the building, like a decadent oil painting.

If you look closely, you will find that the peeling coating has formed several irregular patterns, outlining a hexagram, a cross star, and a triangle star on the walls except for the main entrance.

The three-story mansion was Sidney's ancestral home, which he transformed into an impregnable magic fortress.

Sidney stood on the balcony, his eyes jumping through the trees, looking at the departing black car, and shook his head: "Idiot, why should I take action against that woman? She is eager to make achievements, and sooner or later she will meet the Dark Knight."

Sidney was wearing a straight suit. He was about 40 to 50 years old, with a strong physique, broad shoulders and arms, and a very powerful back.

He had a neatly-knit beard, graying temples, and a lot of gray in his beard and slicked-back hair. His eyes were particularly bright.

Having held power for a long time, his facial features are intimidating without him getting angry, and he carries with him the heavy sense of oppression of a person in a high position of power.

When in the same frame with three priests, Lawrence, Dana and Simon, he must stand in the C position. He has to do so because the younger brother temperament of his three colleagues is too eye-catching.

This is indeed the case. Sidney and the previous high priest have a very good relationship, so good that they are almost in the same boat. Sidney has provided some advice to the three priests as they climbed up.

The reason is simple: to take charge of the whole thing and let the newcomers know who is the boss.

Everything is ready, I have the advantage, all that’s left is for the new guy to surrender!

I never expected that the teacher was such a jerk. Not only did he set up the Geocentric Religion, but he also caused such a big fuss.

The most important thing is that they failed and left behind irrefutable evidence!!

"The world is so big, why do you have to cling to Lundan? Can't you go somewhere else?"

Sidney was very depressed. He tried his best to distance himself from his teacher, but it was impossible. Everyone knew that his teacher Marshall had betrayed the Natural Church and was a complete lunatic and a sinner who could not be redeemed.

So, when Xifei produced evidence to show that the Geocentric Cult believed in the Lord of the Void, he was helpless. He had to obey any arrangements made by his superiors, otherwise he would also be labeled a traitor.

Sidney had asked Paris' colleagues about the new high priest Sphynx, who was a tough guy, a follower of God, and the strongest fighter of the former Scalpel Organization.

Sidney is a golden mage, and so is Sphy, but Sphy's identity as a god-favored person makes him out of the concept of a golden mage. When Sidney was dismissed and investigated, he thought that anger was harmful to his health, so there was nothing wrong with going home and glaring at the owl.

Just as he was worrying, Sidney's face suddenly changed. He asked the servants to clear the table and walked quickly into the study.

He opened the secret door behind the bookcase and stepped into the eerily quiet dark void.

After passing through a maze, Sidney looked at the golden statue in front of him with an unpleasant expression. After a while, he said with difficulty: "Teacher, you said you would not contact me again."

"Sidney, my beloved disciple, this is the last time."

"what's up?"

"Find me someone!"
