Chapter 370: Chapter 370: Contrary to expectations
"After what happed today?" The Cardinal asked, frowning.
He had be extremely observant from the momt the Holy Emperor turned a to face him but he hadn't ssed ev the slightest of hostility from him.
He wondered if it meant that the Holy Emperor actually hadn't yet known about the actions of the Holy Church. Either that was the case, or he was really good at acting.
While the cardinal wanted Er to expose his real thoughts, Er was ev more cunning. He had be prepared for it as well.
Er told the Cardinal the same story that he had told the Ministers. He told the Cardinal that the Minister of War used the mana that was mainly used in the Northern Contint.
He also talked about the assassination attempt on the two great elders which had failed spectacularly. Up to that point, he told everything honestly. However, from this point onwards, he started lying.
He told the Cardinal that the Minister of War had confessed that he was working with the Necromancer Tower while also exposing his other allies.
Er started with the truth and by the time he reached the d of his story, there was nothing but lies in his words.
Unfortunately, it was impossible for the Cardinal to recognise his lies as Er had already used the Dragon Tongue Magic on his own body to make it impossible for anyone to decipher anything from his physical reaction.
As he used the Dragon's Tongue Magic on his own body, and that too to a very small extt, it couldn't be ssed either.
The Cardinal was tak aback as he heard the tire story. It made sse that Great Elder R stopped the Minister of War from dying.
It was especially the case since it seemed to work in favor of the Holy Emperor who appeared to have gott closer to the voy to the point that he was willing to leave his disciple to be with him in their absce.
While leaving the Royal Hall, the Cardinal thought about checking up on the two voys as well, just to make sure that he didn't miss anything important.
After an attack like this, they were all alone? Just what were they doing?
With the Minister of War still on his shoulder he quickly approached the room that was assigned to the Great Elders of the Demon Sect.
The closer he came to the room, the stranger expressions of guards and servants in this area became, some ev having their faces red in embarrassmt for some reason.
Soon, he reached the room that belonged to Elder R. He didn't ev have to op the room to understand what was happing on the other side.
He wanted to check the room using his consciousness but he understood that it could be detected by two great elders, no matter how distracted they were in their pleasure.
To not be misunderstood, he resisted the thought. Turning a, he swiftly left the Royal Palace, believing the Holy Emperor's words about the two voys.
He had already heard the stories about them from the Duke's Mansion. It wasn't shocking that they were still doing the same. What was truly shocking was that they were doing this after an assassination attempt on them.
Just how perverted could these brutes from the East be? He wondered as he left the Palace.
He quickly reached the Holy Church where many priests were looking at him in confusion, watching him carry a bloody figure on his shoulders.
Although he could heal the Minister of War, he didn't do that. He wanted the Holy Priestess to see him as he was found by him.
