Chapter 271 Ranchi's Equal Player
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Unlike the bustling business district, the area around the Temple of the Knights of Annihilation in the imperial capital of Helrom was still deserted, with a biting cold wind blowing through the streets.
This building, with its spire reaching into the sky, has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain. Generations of craftsmen have carved ancient legends onto its hard surface. The confrontations between heroes and demons in these legends have been frozen in time in every stone.
But now it has been planned by the Protoss Empire to be given to the Church of Resurrection.
In the main meeting hall deep in the temple, which is the most important and confidential place in the building of the Knights of Annihilation, blurry beams of light are scattered through the high windows, giving people a solemn and sacred feeling.
A young man sat at one end of the round table. He was wearing a well-fitting dark grey suit and looked different from the other priests. He didn't even wear the Seal of Nirvana, as if he was just passing by on official business. However, his calm and deep gaze and every movement seemed steady and full of authority. It was obvious that he was the leader.
Of the three archpriests who were originally stationed here to be in charge of logistics and coordination with other provincial branches, Caius had been dismissed, and the other two sat beside him, trembling with fear as they waited for his words.
After hearing about the final assessment results, Bishop Silence in the north did not blame the two of them. Instead, he showed a little interest and sent a direct soldier to replace Archbishop Caius's job.
At this moment, the meeting room was filled with a busy yet orderly atmosphere.
In front of the newly arrived Special Agent Sander were piles of sorted documents, each of which contained detailed information about the candidates who had taken the final assessment the day before.
He sometimes looked at the documents and sometimes smiled.
"Rocky McCarthy, without a doubt, has demonstrated excellent abilities in both the written test and the final assessment. He is the best talent we have acquired this time."
Special Agent Sander said with satisfaction, "As long as this young man named Rocky can make some contributions, he will be promoted to a high priest or a direct soldier, and then he will meet Bishop Silent in person."
Hearing Sander's words, the other two high priests secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time they were almost implicated in the incident and suffered along with Caius, but it seemed that their merits and demerits offset each other, and Bishop Silence did not intend to punish them.
And based on the talent of Rocky, who was discovered by them, it is not impossible that he will be able to compete with the Son of Nirvana in a few years.
After all, the Son of Nirvana proved his status with his unique talent and blood-stained hands.
If this young man named Rocky was younger and had better means, even if he was still far from being the Son of Nirvana, as long as he was given time to hone himself, he would pose a great threat to the Son of Nirvana.
Correspondingly, the Son of Nirvana would probably not allow him to grow up wildly.
Special Agent Sander continued to review the final assessment information given to him by the two archpriests. More than ten people passed the written test and the re-examination, and the number of qualified people in the final assessment was halved.
The vast majority of villains who successfully passed the final assessment, either alone or in collaboration, killed an elite priest of the Nirvana branch without anyone noticing within a day.
Therefore, their assessments all start at the elite priest level.
Rocky McCarthy is equivalent to the archpriest level, but the purple and above [Certificate of Resurrection] needs to be granted by the bishop himself, so he cannot be given this level in the imperial capital Helrom for the time being.
After Agent Sander finished reading Rocky's information, he spent much less time looking at other documents, his eyes just skimming over them.
He put Rocky's one aside and quickly put the rest of the papers on the other side.
Until he picked up the last one, his wrist paused.
Watched it in its entirety.
"How come you didn't tell me there's another talented person?"
Sandel looked at the archpriests on both sides and asked.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Sandor, because we can't judge her... and she is highly suspicious. Caius allowed her to pass the re-examination just for this reason."
The archpriest beside him said hurriedly in fear and trepidation.
Sander's attitude will directly determine their fate. If he can say a few good words to Bishop Silent, not only will they be clear of fault this time, but they will also have merit, and vice versa.
“I see.”
After listening, Sandel looked at the document with greater interest, and finally put it together with the document starting with Lodge.
The clerk who was in charge of taking notes opposite couldn't help but glance at the contents of the document subconsciously.
I saw that the person chosen by Sid was also a high priest——
When Archbishop Caius was accused and taken away by the Imperial police for investigation, Sid went and demolished Caius's house.
And she didn't do it secretly, she did it openly.
In the eyes of the public, she was believed to be instructed to help Caius cover up the evidence.
When asked by the Imperial Guard whether Caius had ordered her to demolish the buildings, she replied "indeed", which was confirmed to be true by an ancient artifact that detected lies.
Because he could not reveal the internal information of the Silent Branch, Caius almost bit his teeth off during the confrontation but was unable to refute her.
The house demolition proved to be a self-directed farce. Sid was not held accountable. Instead, Caius was subjected to greater suspicion and was charged with multiple crimes including spreading a cult, destroying evidence, and espionage. Some things could no longer be explained clearly.
“…”
The clerk holding the pen twitched his eyes and quickly lowered his head to focus on the work at hand again.
Although Caius did not die, he was suspended from work, his house was demolished, and he still had to pay the mortgage. It seemed that he might as well have died.
"Are these two people sent by the Tyrant Branch to mess with us?"
Seeing that Special Agent Sander favored these two people so much, the high priest next to him also showed a worried look.
The greater the talent, the greater the harm if it is not well controlled. It would be fine if there was only one Rocky or Sid, but if there were two at the same time, they would not know how to use them. Even though they are the superiors, they dare not speak loudly to them.
Archbishop Caius is a warning example. The harm he suffered is beyond words.
"To be honest, the Tyrant Catholic Church does not have talents like them. Even if they do, the Tyrant Catholic Church will not be willing to let them do undercover work."
Sander glanced at them calmly, "Do you know that the Holy Lady of Tyrant was killed by the Holy Son of Extinction?"
Although the Tyrant Catholic Church has always been a mysterious existence, he, a direct soldier beside the Bishop of Silent, still knows a little about the Tyrant Catholic Church.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“I have heard of it.”
They both knew that Tyrant Catholicism would often fight with Bishop of Desolation over a disagreement, but that time, Tyrant Catholicism did not go to Bishop of Desolation to fight to the death to settle the score.
"So Tyrannical Catholics don't care about the lives of their subordinates?"
The archbishop asked again.
"How should I put it... Tyrant Catholic is the cardinal who cares most about his 'property', so this reaction of being extremely angry but completely holding back is actually very scary. Because of that mistake, Tyrant Catholic should not let his subordinates do such dangerous things again."
Sander raised his index finger slightly to correct the other two archpriests. To the cardinals who were close to the gods, their subordinates were not considered human beings but at most their property.
Because even if all his men were added together, their fighting power would be far less than that of the cardinal alone.
The reputation of any branch is based on the deterrence posed by its top cardinal to the entire continent.
Hearing this, the two great priests both nodded.
If the Tyrant branch also recruits new members, these two guys probably won’t choose the Tyrant branch.
The two newcomers seemed to be acting openly, but in fact they did even more evil than their branch of annihilation.
"Keep an eye on Sid. She still looks like a priest of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny."
Sandel tapped Sid's document and spoke to the other two priests.
"Where's Rocky?"
the archbishop asked.
They were convinced that Sander was not unaware, in fact he saw things very clearly.
"There is no doubt about this guy. He is completely evil. He was born to be on our side. He is completely different from the Church of the Goddess of Destiny."
Sander commented, and then he thought about it and smiled with interest, "It just so happens that according to the information from our informant in Esertlan, there have been many traitors from the Esertlan Kingdom sneaking into the Northwest Province recently, and this time there is even a key figure who has had contact with the Ice Witch. Next month, we will send them and other newcomers to the inspection team where Lord Saint Son of Annihilation is located in the Northwest Province to demonstrate the working ability of the hounds."
If there is anything uncontrollable about these two people, they will not cause trouble in the imperial capital. The troublesome matters will be left to the Son of Nirvana to handle.
"Rocky and Sid...what if they start fighting among themselves?"
The archpriest asked a little worriedly.
Both of these people are the type to take matters into their own hands.
I guess no one will obey anyone else, and it will be even more uncontrollable if they are sent to a distant place.
"Humph, I'd like to see them fight it out. Anyway, no matter what, our merits outweigh our faults, right?"
After Sandel finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. This is also a job of filtering and screening.
If Sid is the mole, it would be best if Rocky could identify her and kill her.
If she can't be killed, she will reveal her flaws, and Rocky's ability is just that, so let her die.
