Just became an evil god and was summoned by the saint

"The matter of pearl rosemary is more important. Come on, take me there."

The high priest seemed impatient; anyone who didn't know better would think he valued it highly and wanted to make a name for himself.

In reality, he was afraid of being discovered and planned to take Celia, the whistleblower, to silence her.

Celia had observed the area where pearl rosemary was grown. There was no one around, so if you disposed of a body there as fertilizer, it would be impossible for anyone to find out for ten years.

Celia smiled. "I'll take you there right away."

The high priest also smiled.

He didn't know who Celia was, or how she discovered that place.

All he knew was that whoever discovered that patch of pearl rosemary would become fertilizer for it.

From the time he became the High Priest in Frostholdt until now, decades have passed, and this has always been the case.

Only Winter, the lord of Frosttown, felt this scene was somewhat familiar.

He searched his mind for the source of this déjà vu.

report……

Wait, report it!?

Winter suddenly looked toward the door.

"not good!"

Two more chapters to go! Writing makes me happy, I'm going to stay up all night!

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.

Pearl rosemary lives up to its name; each leaf is as round and lustrous as a pearl.

This is before the flowering season, but the buds are already ready to bloom, adding a touch of mystery to the crystal-clear plants.

“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!

Chapter 120 Stacking buffs

Already caught off guard by Celia's badge, the High Priest was enraged when Winter suddenly spoke up beside him.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Winter said seriously, "High Priest, as the lord, I certainly have the right to ask. Don't worry about it. I suggest you explain things clearly to the Holy Maiden of your Holy Court first."

Winter spoke up not to help Celia question the High Priest, but to distance himself from the situation and indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

Although he felt his guess was correct, he believed that it was always best to be prepared for both possibilities.

If we blindly support this unfamiliar saintess, what if she turns out to be an imposter, or what means the high priestess manages to turn the tables?

If you fall out with the high priest, you're bound to suffer the consequences.

However, if the suspicion is false, and one supports the High Priest or even joins forces against this saintess, but she is real, then the consequences will not be limited to simply replacing the High Priest.

Therefore, the best approach is to avoid offending either side, distance yourself from the situation, and support whoever wins.

Although saying this might seem like helping the saintess, and it could make the high priest resent her if he wins afterward, the two have disliked each other for a long time, so this little bit of animosity is nothing to worry about.

Winter's plan was well-thought-out, and the high priest quickly understood it.

He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and said in as calm a tone as possible, "I didn't attack you. I just saw you squatting there for a long time and sent the puppet over to investigate for you."

"Oh, so your puppet rushed over with a sword to help me? If you can convince the Judgment Priest with words like that, then continue."

The high priest's expression changed once again.

After a long while, he finally smiled and said, "Miss Saintess, you are joking. This plantation has nothing to do with me. You reported to me that there was a pearl rosemary plantation here, and I immediately canceled my important meeting to come with you, didn't I? Don't slander me like that. I have been working in Frost Town for more than ten years."

Celia nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, please continue, I'm listening."

The high priest fell silent.

He could tell from Celia's expression that she had no intention of letting him go.

His face slowly darkened.

"You say you're a saintess, but I remember the saintess didn't look like you. Where did you get your badge? Could it be a fake? Let me see it."

"No way." Celia put the badge back. "Come and hit me then!"

"I think you're guilty. You're probably a fake saintess. The high priest has the right to judge any heretics who impersonate clergy! Don't force me to take action."

"If you're going to fight, then fight. Why all this nonsense?" Celia said impatiently. "Let me be blunt: cultivating pearl rosemary and selling bewitching water are sins far more serious than those of a heretic leader in the Holy Court. There's no point in saying anything now. You'll be judged."

The High Priest sneered: "Let me tell you too, impersonating a Holy Maiden of the Holy Court is a capital offense. I will judge your sins on behalf of the gods!"

Having said that, the high priest gave the puppet instructions.

The puppet rushed over, its body radiating a pure white light, signifying that the High Priest's holy spell magic had reached a very high level.

However, no matter how she looked at it, Celia found this holy light extremely repulsive.

"Doing this kind of thing every day, have you wasted your Holy Word skills on something else?!"
