Soon, the news that the exiled Sayanata not only showed no repentance, but also exploited the jailer in prison spread throughout the city of Suva.
At that time, Jin happened to be summoned by the archbishop.
In the Archbishop's room.
"grown ups."
Now Jin has taken off his armor and put on his council robe.
His brown hair was combed smoothly and neatly with hair oil, making him look full of energy.
"A new wave of mutant evil spirits has appeared in Lausanne City near the south..."
The archbishop was still wearing the same archbishop's robe, sitting on a chair covered with a red and black blanket. Holding the scroll in his right hand, he looked blank, obviously thinking about something.
After Jin urged him again and again, he raised his head and said, "Then we will follow the method negotiated by the 'Alliance'."
"Okay." Jin responded.
Then he asked seriously: "Also, about the execution ground tomorrow..."
This time, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the archbishop:
"Well, it's hard to come back once and make such a big noise. Marquis, when you're angry, you have to go and pick up the princess in person. It's too gloomy there, and His Highness is still a little girl."
"Although I regret what happened to your father. But if you don't kill his whole family, let's end the matter here. Presumably your grandfather also doesn't want his descendants to be separated from Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Kim Lambert's grandfather was one of the orphans adopted by the archbishop and survived. Therefore, Lambert's group can be regarded as the Archbishop's confidants, especially after the court was divided into two factions, Lambert's group was particularly targeted at Sayanata.
Sure enough, after Jin heard the archbishop's words. He forwarded the jailers' accusations against Sayanata to the Archbishop and added.
"I don't hate my father because of what happened to him. In fact, everything I did was for the prosperity of Suva City."
"I have heard stories about you from my grandfather. Maybe Sayanatha was a competent ruler before, but now she is no longer the kind and benevolent princess she was before. No! She can't even Not even human beings."
"Lambert!"
The archbishop's blue eyes became dark. Anyone who knew him well knew that this was a sign before he became angry, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Jin's words.
But Jin was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued: "Don't you think how terrifying it is to be able to raise devils from hell?"
The lines on the Archbishop's face tensed up tightly, and he looked at Jin, who still looked as if he was dead.
After a while.
The archbishop relaxed as if giving up, looked away from Jin, and said: "For so many years, I have been thinking about whether I did something wrong when I pulled her out of hell."
"My lord, you are not wrong," Jin said.
"I don't think anyone would miss the opportunity to save someone they care about. But..."
He paused and continued: "Have you ever thought that maybe you brought more than just the princess out of hell at that time?"
The archbishop was stunned for a moment, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes, and then immediately denied it: "It can't be wrong."
"Then let me put it another way. Archbishop, you risked your life and brought out not only Her Royal Highness the Princess, but also ghosts from the depths of hell."
"A ghost..." the Archbishop murmured.
"That's right, the princess now is no longer the princess she was back then. Maybe she herself is also suffering deeply from this incident. You are the person closest to her, and I think you can feel it too. get."
Jin said, while handing over the things he had already prepared, he stepped forward and presented them to the archbishop: "What is recorded here is how to drive away the devil residing in the princess' body. Please don't be soft-hearted anymore."
The Archbishop was silent as time passed by.
Jin remained motionless, waiting for the Archbishop's choice. Finally, he stretched out his trembling hand and grasped the scroll handed over by Jin.
"My child, let me rescue you again."
…
In a forest outside Suva.
Tan Jiajia sat on a tree branch and eavesdropped on the conversation between the archbishop and Jin through the shikigami she made.
"It sounds like the Archbishop is not as bad as Sayanata said. He seems to really have her best interests in mind."
"Hmph, he always pretends to do nothing. He lets others take the blame and gets all the benefits. He said he didn't want it, but he didn't take away the right to deliver it to his door." A man added disdainfully.
Tan Jiajia held the tree trunk with one hand and looked down. Rexy was lying in the shade of a tree, licking her fur with her tongue.
"Hey, you have a strong opinion of him."
Rexy suddenly changed the subject: "Why are you here? Have you figured it out?"
Tan Jiajia jumped slightly, landed in front of him, and smiled: "Yes, after all, I have to rely on you to go back. I always know the current affairs."
It has to be said that Tan Jiajia's face is quite lethal. Just a smile can make Rexi's heart tremble. After a moment, he realized his gaffe in the other person's teasing eyes, and turned his head away uncomfortably.
"It should have been like this a long time ago. I'm relieved that you can come. I have a slight chance of winning against that person."
Tan Jiajia sat directly next to him and asked: "You are also a member of the demon clan, so why are you so afraid of him? Is he that scary?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tan Jiajia saw a bunch of blood on the ground where the other party was lying. A closer look revealed that there were mottled marks on the fur, but no wounds were visible. I thought it was probably from a fight, but I didn't expect this sheep to be quite loyal.
"Are you injured? Did the archbishop do it?" she guessed.
"A little injury." Rexy seemed unwilling to mention this matter, so she continued to change the topic.
"You just asked, 'Is he strong?' That's a pretty good question."
Tan Jiajia breathed out: "I never asked."
No matter what she said, the other party started talking: "That man broke into hell alone a hundred years ago. He can be said to be the strongest among the strong."
"Don't flatter your enemies with such a proud tone." Tan Jiajia was ashamed.
"Oh haha." Rexy let out a strange laugh, with a subtle expression, as if she was caught in a wonderful memory. "If you had seen him at that time, you would have thought the same thing as me. Such a powerful man, I really want to surrender to him."
"..."
Tan Jiajia was speechless and felt that the other party's mind was abnormal.
After thinking about it, she asked again: "Which one is more powerful, your princess, or the archbishop?"
Rexy replied without thinking, "Of course the Archbishop."
"Is it really okay to have such an idea? Your master is a princess."
A humane smile appeared on Rexy's face: "To be honest, if I really want to choose a human being as my master, I would rather that person be the Archbishop. Whether it is the aura he exudes or the strength he shows, All of them are surprisingly to my liking. Of course, you are not bad either." He said, sticking out his tongue and licking his upper lip, with a gleaming light in his eyes.
Tan Jiajia looked at him strangely. She always felt that there was an extra profound meaning in what the other person just said.
