So I'm a sheep.

“No, we have an agreement with Duke Wood. The problems of the Nister branch can only be resolved by the branch itself.”

“I oppose rash actions and we cannot put the Duke of Wood on the opposite side.”

"But the Grand Duke is now acting passively, neither suppressing the rebellious villages nor arresting the corrupt priests."

"I heard that the knights have already made their move?"

"Don't even mention it, the Knights of Nist are always playing house with that saintess."

"Saintess?"

Under Julian's icy gaze, the bishop who had just spoken felt a chill run down his spine.

"No, not a saint, but a wicked woman!"

"Humph"

Julian snorted coldly: "Victor, you will go to Nistre in my place."

"Express the Church of the Stars' strong dissatisfaction to Duke Wood and urge him to quell the 'wizard rebellion' in the country as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"besides......"

Julian walked over to Victor and shoved a list into his hand.

"Once you get to Nist, you need to find a way to contact the people on the list. Your first target is that wicked woman."

After a pause, Julian lowered his voice and said, "The second target is Grand Duke Wood, but no one is allowed to touch him until he has clearly sided with that angel!"

Victor's face turned pale. Seeing that Julian was determined, he finally nodded obediently.

"Archbishop, I will take care of the task you have entrusted to me."

"very good"

Julian patted him on the shoulder, then turned his gaze to another female bishop.

"You should visit Princess Louise more often these days."

"The wizards have bewitched one angel, and another angel has told her to be careful to appease her."

...............................................

With a heavy responsibility on his mind, Victoire dared not delay and hurriedly set off for Nistrar that very night, escorted by several Templar Knights.

After arriving in Nistre in a very low-key manner, Victor immediately began his mission.

He was already an expert at contacting informants; in fact, he was responsible for planting informants for most of the churches within Nistria.

He was familiar with most of the people on the list, but there were also some names that the bishop was completely unfamiliar with.

'These three women are identified as Grand Duke Wood's close attendant, cook, and favorite concubine, respectively. No wonder the Archbishop was so confident in assassinating Grand Duke Wood.'

"Yes, that attendant is the leader of the three. Just let him know if you need anything."

Victor pondered for a while and felt that he would have a great chance to meet that attendant when he visited Duke Wood the next day.

Of course, it's okay if you don't make contact on the first visit.

The 'Wizards' Rebellion' was a major event, so it was quite normal for him to visit Duke Wood four or five times.

The next day, Victor got up very early.

He changed into the solemn bishop's robes of the Church of the Stars, and, riding in an expensively rented carriage, made a grand procession towards the Duke of Wood's castle under the protection of the Knights Templar.

"Ah, isn't this Victor?"

"My friend, you haven't visited me for quite some time."

"Grand Duke?"

Victor's eyes widened. If it weren't for that familiar voice, he would never have believed that the sunken-eyed, dazed man in front of him was the renowned knight-grandfather!

"You, how could you..." The bishop was at a loss for words.

"What's wrong with me? I'm fine."

Wood had his servants bring out fine wine, and he laughed loudly, saying, "Come on, it's been a long time! Have a few drinks with me!"

"Well"

Victor did not refuse. As he tilted his head back to drink, he took the opportunity to reveal half of the token hanging around his neck.

"I also love Nister's wine..."

The bishop's words came to an abrupt halt as he witnessed an unbelievable scene.

Duke Wood wanted to drink, but his hands were shaking so badly that he spilled most of the wine from his glass onto his clothes.

"Good wine!"

The Grand Duke didn't care at all. After finishing the rest of his wine, he let out a long sigh: "Fill my cup again!"

"..."

Victor swallowed hard: "Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

"The wizarding rebellion in Nistr awaits your pacification."

"wizard?"

"Yes, yes, those three evil wizards who bewitched the angels!"

"wizard......"

"That's right, an evil wizard!"

"Wizard, it doesn't taste good."

Wood picked up the glass with his mouth, tilted his head back, and gulped down the wine in one go.

"Hahahaha"

He let go of his mouth, and the wine glass rolled to the ground.

"It doesn't taste good! Wizard, it doesn't taste good!"

Hahahaha

'Drunk...no way, Wood's probably had too much hallucinogenic drug!' A thought suddenly popped into Victor's mind.

Victor has seen many people in the capital of Moonlit Kingdom who suddenly go mad after drinking a little alcohol.

Those idle rich kids love to drink something they call 'hallucinogenic water,' which can bring them immense pleasure, but has terrible side effects.

At first, it was just that after drinking alcohol, he would suddenly become manic.

If you don't make up your mind to quit 'hallucinogenic drugs' at this point, various complications will follow.

Loss of appetite, insomnia, excessive sweating, intermittent convulsions...

At an even higher level, those who take hallucinogenic drugs will lose the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion, and will become completely insane.

Psychedelic water is definitely a harmful substance. Before King Yuelan became seriously ill, he had already intended to issue a decree to ban its sale on the market.

Victor never imagined that one day he would see the initial symptoms of a psychedelic overdose on the Grand Duke.

"Your Highness, Victor will be taking his leave today."

The bishop shook his head inwardly; Wood wouldn't listen to anything he said in this state.

'Come again tomorrow, and make sure Wood doesn't touch alcohol then.'

Seeing that Wood didn't react, a servant naturally walked over to Victor's side.

"Your Excellency, I'll see you off."

Volume 1: Chapter 124 Iron Fist Repair

Victor visited Wood a total of six times. Apart from the first visit, Wood did not drink alcohol on the subsequent five visits.

However, Wood, who no longer drinks, did not revert to the dashing knight-grandfather that Victor remembered.

Wood was extremely dejected and his attitude towards the bishop was extremely perfunctory.

"Wizards? No problem, my loyal knights will handle those guys."

"Oh, is Archbishop Julian very unhappy with me? I'm so sorry."

"Yes, I'm listening, I'm listening... What did you just say?"

'If Lord Wood doesn't pull himself together, the situation in Nister will likely deteriorate completely.'

'However, this might also be an opportunity for our church and for Yue Lan.'

With mixed feelings, Bishop Victor embarked on his journey home.

"Phew, that annoying guy is finally gone."

With no outsiders around, Wood had no more reservations.

He shouted, "Quickly, bring me my source of joy, and serve me the wine too!"

Before long, two smiling concubines, each holding a wine glass, nestled into Wood's arms.

"My lord, let me feed you."

"My lord, let's drink to our hearts' content today."

"Hahaha, beauties, you all drink too, you all drink too!"

"Lord!"

One of the knights finally couldn't bear it any longer and cried out in anguish, "We know you're still troubled by that matter, but please don't run away from it like this!"

The incident was so sudden that one of the concubines was startled and spilled wine on Wood.

Wood was instantly enraged. He glared at the knight who had spoken and shouted, "What do you know? What do you know?"

"You've ruined my good mood! Get out! Get out of here!"

"Lord..."

"Ha, so my words don't carry any weight anymore, do they? You're still my knight, aren't you!"
