Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint.

Chapter 119 What a grand scheme!

The pearl rosemary cultivation base was referred to by the high priest as a rosemary hotbed.

This is the breeding ground for pearl rosemary, and also the "breeding ground" for its discoverers.

He had already summoned the puppet, which followed behind Celia and slowly approached the Rosemary Bed.

His smile gradually turned cold.

At this moment, with no one around, the high priest was contemplating whether to skip going in and take action immediately when suddenly, Winter's voice came from behind.

"High Priest, wait for me."

The high priest looked back and said with displeasure, "Mr. Winter, you could have just waited inside the temple for a moment. What are you doing out here? Are you worried that the deacons will neglect you?"

“No.” Winter stepped forward quickly and smiled. “As the lord of Frosttown, I also have jurisdiction over my territory. Pearl rosemary is not only a prohibited item by the Holy Court, but also an illegal herb valued by the Ishtar Empire.”

"So, I want to go and see for myself."

The high priest stared at the other person, but no matter how he looked at them, he couldn't figure out what they were thinking.

Winter knew he was growing pearl rosemary, and there was even a portion of the money coming from him as "hush money." Reporting this pearl rosemary breeding ground, whether the whistleblower reports to him or Winter, will ultimately result in them becoming nutrients for the pearl rosemary.

Based on the high priest's understanding of Winter, he knew that Winter couldn't possibly have come with good intentions to help him kill someone and cover it up.

He must have discovered something he didn't know, which is why he followed.

After a moment's thought, the high priest said calmly, "Then let's go together."

The high priest temporarily stopped giving orders to the puppet, intending to wait until it was inside the rosemary incubator.

This didn't take long.

Soon, led by Celia, the three of them and the two puppets arrived outside the Rosemary Bed.

Celia pointed to the dilapidated house and the high fence, and said with a grin, "High Priest, this is it. I was passing by here and was curious about what was inside, so I secretly went in to take a look and found out that it was pearl rosemary."

There is an anti-spy array inside the fence, which cannot be seen from the air.

The anti-peeping array also has a concealment array. When combined, unless one specifically uses a sensor, it is virtually impossible to detect the pearl rosemary inside the wall.

The high priest took meticulous measures to avoid being discovered, but even the most careful plans can have flaws, and over the years, he has been discovered by many people.

Fortunately, whether the person who discovered it reported it to him or to the lord, the result was the same.

Once the whistleblower is dealt with, there won't be any problems.

The same goes for this pretty girl who appeared out of nowhere.

Although you are beautiful and selling you would be more profitable, for the sake of this fertile ground, I can only let you serve as nourishment.

The high priest looked at Celia and thought to himself.

With such a beautiful girl as nourishment, the resulting pearl rosemary will surely be even more vibrant.

Thinking it over, he stepped forward, pretended to be violent, and had the puppet kick the door open.

After the puppet rushed in, he immediately shouted, "High Priest, everyone, raise your hands immediately!"

The noise at the door attracted the attention of all the slaves working inside. They looked up and, upon seeing the high priest, seemed unfazed, obediently raising their hands without showing any sign of panic.

They even gathered quickly, as if they had rehearsed, and stood in rows, waiting for their fate.

The high priest nodded in satisfaction, turned to look at Celia, and said with a gentle smile, "Miss, come with me to collect the evidence so that I can reward you."

He gestured back, and Winter angrily closed the door he had forced open.

Heh, this girl must have a close relationship with that mysterious sorcerer from yesterday. She might have been deliberately sent out to lure him in. Winter sneered inwardly.

He said nothing, just watched, even yielding to the high priest's little schemes and letting him do as he pleased.

The three of them passed the rows of planting slaves and soon arrived at the planting site for pearl rosemary.

As its name suggests, each leaf of the pearl rosemary is round and glossy like a pearl. It's not yet flowering season, but the buds are already forming, adding a touch of mystery to the translucent plant.

“Such a massive scale of cultivation…” the High Priest exclaimed. “Its nutrients must be of the highest quality, wouldn’t you say, madam?”

Celia tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "I don't understand. The High Priest seems to know a lot about it?"

“I know a little, madam. Can you do me a favor?” the high priest said.

"what's up?"

"Could you check if there's any flesh or blood in the roots of these pearl rosemary plants?"

Celia smiled and did as she was told, going to a rosemary bush, squatting down, and looking at it very intently.

“No,” she said.

“Is that so? No wonder these rosemary bushes don’t look to be growing very well; they seem to be lacking nutrients.” The high priest paused, a priestly smile appearing on his face. “Then, madam, would you be willing to sacrifice yourself to provide nourishment for these rosemary bushes?”

Having said that, the puppet, which had been quietly approaching, immediately launched an attack.

"No, you can't." Celia smiled slightly, the Slowing Water had already been activated, and she, who was prepared, quickly dodged the attack.

Then, she took out the Saintess's badge and looked at the High Priest with a smile: "High Priest, you've got some nerve, daring to attack the Saintess."

Upon seeing the silver badge holding a dove, the high priest's expression changed drastically. "You..."

"What, you're saying this badge is fake?" Celia still smiled. "I've been recording the whole thing with my bracelet since I came in. Why did the High Priest attack me after I reported someone to him for secretly growing pearl rosemary? It's so hard to guess."

The high priest's expression shifted dramatically, as did Winter's beside him.

His facial expression was even more fascinating than that of the high priest.

He initially thought this girl was in cahoots with the mysterious sorcerer from yesterday, but he wasn't sure.

Now he was certain.

They're all in cahoots!

Moreover, it was the Holy Court from the city above. They came suddenly, and everything from burning down the Warm Tavern was a setup for the High Priest!

Winter felt that everything suddenly became clear.

Why would a random girl seek revenge against Yan Ri Hui, and why would she succeed in doing so with only first-tier strength?

No one stopped her the whole time!

Afterwards, Winter inquired and confirmed that someone had stopped the members of the Sun Society, just as they had stopped his son, Chrisis.

In a single day, the girl made headlines in Frost Town.

However this is just the beginning.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the girl, the hidden expert made his move.

Overnight, all the high-ranking members of the Yanri Society were wiped out!

Then the next day, the saint appeared and deliberately lured the high priest, whom she did not know, into his rosemary bed, inducing him to attack her and ultimately condemning him to death!

What a big chess game!

The weather in Frosttown is about to change.

The new high priest will likely be even more difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Winter immediately looked at the High Priest and asked in a deep voice:
"High Priest, did you plant this pearl rosemary plantation without permission?"

　I'm asking for a monthly pass. For a top author, one or two passes might be negligible, but for me, it could potentially help me snag a free meal on Qidian! Please!
