Chapter 279 Chess Piece of the Night (3000 Words)

Eros had a hint of doubt in his eyes. What did Father Arigato want him to do?

His communication with him was limited to arranging some work for Jessica.

Although he was confused, Eros nodded and said, "Okay, Captain, I will go to the Jolton Cathedral later."

Seeing that everything was ordered, Captain Red looked around at everyone in the office:

"Then everyone should get ready now. We will have to rush to the East District in advance later."

After everyone agreed, Captain Red seemed to remember something and shouted to Eros who was about to walk out of the office:

"Since Conan has to go to the Jolton Cathedral later, why not let Conan go to the underground storage room of the church to apply for the seal."

"Wait a moment, I will write you an application slip now!"

Captain Red picked up the absorbent pen next to him and started writing on the white paper in front of him.

After writing, he took out a seal from his body and stamped it on the paper.

After doing all this, Captain Red handed the note in his hand to Eros and said with a smile:

"Just give the note to the acolyte guarding the door of the containment room, they will understand what I mean."

Eros took the note and took a look. There was only one line of words on it:

"Apply for the third-level seal 3-0042 Eye of Insight."

Looking at the name of this seal, Eros roughly knew what Captain Red wanted to use it for.

Is this to prevent those cultists from escaping by disguising themselves? Captain Red is indeed a warlock with decades of experience, and he is indeed cautious enough.

After putting the note away, Eros nodded to Captain Red and said:

"I will bring the seal!"

Captain Red smiled and said, "Go!"

Eros walked out of the door without stopping. When he came to the door of the Jolton Cathedral, Eros saw Father Arigado standing at the door waiting.

Father Aligado obviously saw Eros, so he immediately came up and said with a smile:

"Mr. Conan! Archbishop Dino wants to see you!"

Eros' eyes revealed a hint of realization, and he was afraid that the archbishop of the Jolton Cathedral had something to ask him.

But he couldn't attract too much attention, so as not to expose his true identity.

So the archbishop called him to the church through Father Aligado.

After learning this, Eros nodded and said politely:

"Then please take me to see His Excellency Archbishop Dino!"

Father Aligado smiled and nodded and said: "Mr. Conan, please follow me!"

While leading the way, Father Aligado fell into thought.

He also didn't understand why His Excellency Archbishop Dino suddenly wanted to see an ordinary member of the Night Watch.

But since the archbishop had given the order, he would definitely execute it seriously.

After walking for about a few minutes, Father Aligado took Eros through the church in front and came to the office area in the back.

He walked to the door of an office and knocked on it, saying respectfully:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, Mr. Conan has arrived!"

As these words came out, a steady and powerful voice came out of the room the next second:

"Please let him in!"

Father Arigato responded, then opened the door of the office and made a gesture of invitation to Eros.

Eros walked in, and when Father Arigato saw Eros enter, he closed the door and began to stand at the door.

The moment the door closed, a spiritual wall rose up, covering the entire room.

The next second, Archbishop Dino stood up from his office chair and greeted Eros:

"Your Highness! Please forgive my presumption. I should have come to see you in person, but in order to prevent your identity from being revealed, I had to do this."

Eros waved his hand and said naturally, "It's okay."

Archbishop Dino breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Eros say it was okay, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Is there something you want me to do?"

Eros sat down on an office chair nearby and asked with a puzzled tone.

Archbishop Dino stood aside and said hesitantly:

"Have you heard about the Scarlet Cult stronghold?"

Eros nodded: "I just heard it from my captain."

Seeing that Eros had heard it, Archbishop Dino hurriedly said:

"What do you think about this matter?"

Eros showed a trace of doubt on his face. Seeing this, Archbishop Dino told him the whole story, including how they got the news.

After listening, Eros frowned and fell into thought. After a while, he spoke:

"Didn't you send someone to confirm whether the news was true?"

Archbishop Dino shook his head and explained: "If the news is true, it means that there is really a god messenger of the Scarlet Sect there."

"And the existence that can be called a god messenger, his strength is at least Sequence 4."

"So if we send someone to confirm, it will easily alert their god messenger and cause them to evacuate early."

Seeing that Eros was a little surprised, Archbishop Dino explained with a wry smile:

"The Sequence 4 of the Scarlet Sect is called a blood monster. They have the ability to perceive blood power over a large range."

"And the blood power of a warlock is obviously stronger than that of an ordinary person, so as long as you enter his perception range, he will detect it."

"Even if I go there in person, there is a certain probability that he will find out."

A look of understanding appeared on Eros's face: "Is it because of this reason that you dare not send someone to confirm?"

"Yes, Your Highness! I am worried that they will notice it in advance, so that it will be more difficult to find them next time." Archbishop Dino said with a somewhat embarrassed face.

Eros said nothing, leaning back on the chair and lost in thought.

After a while, he asked: "Has the person who delivered the message to the church been caught?"

Archbishop Dino shook his head: "No information was found. We also tried divination, but still found nothing."

Hearing this, Eros chuckled and said: "No information is the greatest information, isn't it? Lord Bishop."

Archbishop Dino was startled for a moment, then his eyes flashed, and he said word by word:

"Your Highness, you mean, the remnants of the night?"

The corner of Eros's mouth curled up slightly: "I can't be sure, but it can be regarded as a suspect."

"Assuming that he is really a remnant of the night, then why would he pass the location information of a certain stronghold of the Scarlet Sect to the church?"

Upon hearing Eros' hypothesis, Archbishop Dino seemed to have thought of something and said:

"The church received a message this morning. The message was that there were remnants of the night in Haidaram who were openly hunting members of the Scarlet Sect."

After hearing what Archbishop Dino said, Eros raised his eyebrows and said:

"It seems that there is a conflict between the Scarlet Sect and the Remnants of the Night, two extremely evil organizations."

"Then can we think that the remnant of the night wants to use the church's help to help him eradicate the Scarlet Sect's stronghold?"

"But if that's the case, why don't you do it consciously for the remnants of the night?" Archbishop Dino was a little confused.

Why don't you do it yourself? Because you can't do it. Why else?

Eros curled his lips in his heart, but he still looked calm and calm on the outside:

"Isn't this very simple? There is only one truth!"

"That's because the remnant of the night couldn't do it, so he had to use the power of the church."

Speaking of this, Eros sneered: "It's really interesting that a cultist would come to ask for help from the church when he encounters an opponent he can't deal with."

Archbishop Dino fell into deep thought after hearing this. There is no doubt that what Eros said makes sense.

With the blessing of the Evil God of Night, the remnant of the night might actually be able to spy on them without the Divine Envoy of the Scarlet Sect being aware of it.

But if that was the case, wouldn't they have been pawns of that remnant of the night?

How could they be led by a cultist?

This was a bit difficult for him to accept, so he expressed his concerns.

After hearing this, Eros said indifferently: "The Remnants of the Night and the Scarlet Sect are both organizations that the church wants to eliminate. So what if they become his pawns?"

"I hope he will do this more often. If one more cultist is eliminated, there will be one less wolf in my lord's pasture."

"As long as my lord's pasture can be peaceful from now on, I won't hesitate to be a pawn ten thousand times, not to mention being a pawn once."

Archbishop Dino looked ashamed after hearing this: "I understand, Your Highness!"

Eros smiled and said: "Then do it!"

After Archbishop Dino agreed, hesitation suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Eros asked: "Do you have any more questions?"

Archbishop Dino organized his language and then said:

"I suddenly thought of a possibility. Could all of this be the conspiracy of the remnants of the night and the Scarlet Sect?"

"They deliberately staged such a drama for me to lure us there and then ambush us there?"

After listening to Archbishop Dino's worries, Eros touched his chin:

"This is not impossible!"

After thinking for a while, Eros spoke to Archbishop Dino in front of him:

"Does anyone besides you know the news about me in Haidaram?"

Archbishop Dino was a little confused as to why Eros asked this, but he still answered seriously:

"His Highness's identity is confidential, so I am the only one who knows it at the moment."

After hearing Archbishop Dino's answer, Eros grinned and showed his white teeth:

"That's easy to handle! In this case, you can ask the Ocean Church and the Contract Church for help in my name, and let them take action together."

"If they are really planning to ambush us tonight, then we might as well eat them all!"

"Even if not, taking action together can make it impossible for the people of the Scarlet Sect and the Abyss Sect to escape."

Archbishop Dino was stunned for a moment and then realized, yes!

Bringing the other two churches together, regardless of whether they have an ambush or not, I will directly push them.
