The living environment of the dark priests in this city is already quite good. There will be many followers who follow and obey their orders, but as long as the leader dies, those people will scatter like birds and beasts. Being loyal to one person in this city will only lead to one's death quickly.
Because no one knows whether the person they follow or depend on will disappear at some point in time.
Too many people died here, and countless dark servants died every day, but the dark priests were already close to being high priests. Even if it took a lot of energy and time to reach that level, there were only five high priests serving the Dark God in this city, and the dark priests would keep their distance when fighting each other, and would not die easily.
Devin's body was thrown onto the street, so naturally someone would come to clean it up. However, even the goblins who were cleaning it up were shocked when they saw who the dead person was.
They spread the news very quickly. Within just one day, the news that Dewen was killed by someone who had just entered the city spread throughout the entire Eternal Night City.
"To be able to kill Dewen, he must at least have the strength of a priest. Madi really messed with the wrong person."
"Why bring up the dead? The point is Phil got lucky. Where did this priest come from?"
"Having come to Eternal Night City, who cares about origins? The man seems to be called Theodore. God's Gift, what a nice name."
Dewen was dead, and Phil had his things cleared out. However, when it came to arranging the place, Phil was at a loss: "Lord Theodore, what kind of decoration would you like? How about hanging a skull here? Would you like a cup made of skulls?"
"Your skull looks very good." Lin Su stood at the handrail of the stairs and looked around. He was just resting here and would not stay for long, but even if he was only staying for a short time, he had to feel comfortable.
Phil knelt on the ground with his head bowed, saying, "Lord Theodore, please spare my life. I am willing to give you everything I have, but if I lose my life, what can I use to serve you?"
"It should be arranged just like the human palace." Lin Su didn't want to see this place become like a horror movie scene. Although he was not afraid of that kind of thing, if he lived there for a long time, his heart would be twisted if it wasn't twisted at all.
"I'll do it right away." Phil jumped up and ran to do what Lin Su asked him to do.
Although the result is a bit too gorgeous, it is at least comfortable to walk, sit or lie down.
…
"Lord Todd, we went to investigate the place where the dark beast appeared, and the dark beast has disappeared." The dark deacon stood behind the man and said with his head down.
The man with narrow eyes stood in front of the window, smiling softly and kindly: "Who has been there before?"

"We checked and found that only two dark deacons have been there. Their names are Phil and Laoka. The others avoided it because they knew that the dark beast you asked for, Lord Todd, was there," the deacon said. "But they went out and brought back a man named Theodore. When entering the city, Lady Katie was very interested in him, but he refused. Then he killed Priest Dewen and took his place."
"It seems the person who hunted the Dark Beast is related to Theodore. You could even say he was the one who killed it. He's not a priest, but a high priest." Todd said with a smile, "What do you think someone like that would do in Evernight City?"
Not all dark priests live in the Eternal Night Forest, and the Dark God's territory is not limited to the Eternal Night Forest. Wherever demonic energy is rampant is the Dark God's domain. Away from here, dark priests can also practice. If they yearn for the holy land, but they don't come here until they become high priests, it seems that they have other purposes.
"Dear Lord Todd, I cannot answer such a question for you," said the deacon.
This is the City of Eternal Night and also the City of Contestation. Replacing it is a thought that everyone has in their mind, but the reason why the Dark God is the Dark God is not a secret that they can spy on.
No matter how much the people below fight, the gods are still here.
"Tell Katie about this. She has a pretty good eye this time," Todd said with a smile.
When word of Priest Theodore's strength spread, Katie, already anxious from the rejection, grew restless in the castle. "Love is truly unbearable, but by the Dark God, I really don't like a man who forces me to like him so much. Laura, do you think I should go see him?"
In front of her was a skull inlaid with diamonds. She touched it with her fingers and said, "Dear Laura, I really want him to become my own collection. Can I let him keep you company when the time comes?"
Todd's message was delivered extremely quickly. When it reached Katie's residence, the smile on her face disappeared: "High Priest? Really?"
"Yes, Lady Katie, the dark beast outside the city was hunted by him," said her deacon.
"I killed that dark beast. He just looked a little disheveled, but not injured. It seems he's really strong." Katie sighed. "It looks like I don't even have a chance to force him. What should I do, Laura?"
The deacon didn't dare to talk to her while she was talking to the skeleton.
"If he was a weak man with only a pretty face, I might look down on him, but he is too powerful. He is so powerful that he came to the City of Eternal Night to become a high priest. Laura, what do you think he is here for?" Katie said with a smile.
After Lin Su's residence was tidied up, he welcomed a guest.
The woman was still wearing provocative clothes, swaying gracefully as she walked in. However, she was slightly disappointed when she saw the interior decoration. "My dear Theodore, do you actually like this kind of taste?"
Phil opened the door and let her in and stood aside and said, "Master Katie, this is what I arranged."
"So that's not the case. You really do indulge your subordinates." Katie didn't look at Phil. Instead, she sat on a chair nearby and crossed her long legs. "But I like this too."
"Did you come here just to talk about my preferences?" Lin Su, who was also sitting aside, said indifferently.
This woman may not really like him, but this cold attitude will actually lower people's guard.
"I just wanted to talk to you about your preferences, but we have plenty of time to discuss it later. This time I came here to ask..." She slowly turned her body, "What do you want to do in Evernight City?"
Lin Su glanced at her, his eyes showing obvious wariness: "Why are you asking this?"
"In Eternal Night City, the strong have the final say," Katie said with a smile. "All priests can fight freely, from servants to acolytes, then priests, and finally high priests. But no matter how strong a priest is, there is always someone above him..."
