Inventor of another world, the little female ghost wants to kidnap me

Chapter 340: Seeing Through the Conspiracy

"I can tell you frankly that Licia was desperate at the time, broke through the Paladin's defense, and forced her way into the Demon Realm."

"I can also help you enter the demon world."

"You may not know that I was the one who discovered the portal to the demon world, and I have always controlled it."

Hobert said these words in an extremely calm tone, but Miss was unable to recover for a long time.

He totally couldn't understand what the acting legion commander was thinking.

Michelle tried her best to cover up the news about Lisia, and Hobert's behavior was undoubtedly against Michelle.

"Does the Commander-in-Chief have a grudge against the Archbishop?" Miss asked jokingly.

What shocked him even more was that Hubbard actually nodded in affirmation.

"No, the Holy Knights are an army under the church. Your rank should be lower than that of the Archbishop. If he has a grudge against you, why doesn't he kill you?"

Hobert still smiled, "Because he doesn't dare."

This simple sentence reveals his infinite confidence.

Seeing that Miss was extremely confused, Hobert explained, "More than 20 years ago, the archbishop was indeed above the church and had the highest authority, but everything changed since that man appeared."

Later, from Hobert's story, Miss learned that the previous commander of the Holy Knights, Blyvender, broke Michel's dictatorship over the church through reforms.

The Holy Knights Legion was turned into an independent entity that only obeyed the orders of the legion commander.

Even Michel, the archbishop, cannot directly command the paladins.

The paladins only recognize the legion commander designated by Blyvender and the token he left behind.

"Michel has been coveting the token for a long time in order to restore his dictatorship, but how can I just hand over the trump card that can save my life?"

Hobert himself knew very well that the day he handed over the token would be the day of his death.

"He's always thinking about killing me, and I definitely can't let him down, so I like to do things that can make him unhappy."

After listening to Hobert's explanation, Miss was finally moved and began to believe him a little.

The main thing is that there is no way to avoid believing it. Your purpose has been seen through by others. It is extremely difficult to do anything secretly under their noses.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the Paladin outside announced, "Master Legion Commander, the priest of the Grand Cathedral is here."

Hobart knocked on the table and the door opened.

A trembling voice sounded outside the door, "Commander, can I... come in?"

Hobert said impatiently: "Come in, you are a priest under Michelle, can you speak more firmly?"

The priest tiptoed into the room and saw Miss at first sight, and he immediately became flustered.

"Captain... Commander, why don't you ask him to step aside for a while? After all, this is a secret mission assigned to you by the Archbishop."

He was worried that reading the Archbishop's order in front of Meath would affect the Archbishop's plans.

Hobert said indifferently, "I will tell him what you say later anyway, why don't you just say it to his face."

"what?"

Hearing Hobert's words, the priest was stunned, and could not say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

In this situation, he would have to go back to the cathedral to ask the archbishop for instructions.

"Commander, I can't make the decision on this matter, so I won't waste your time for now."

After saying this, the priest wanted to flee the scene.

But Hobert didn't intend to let him leave. "If he has anything to say to you, just tell him directly. No need to bother."

Outside the door, a sturdy paladin blocked the door, preventing the priest from leaving.

He had no choice but to turn back to Hobert.

Many arrogant priests had offended Hobert in this room before, and none of them could walk out of the Paladin base alive.

Afterwards, Hobart would simply punish his men who had beaten him and do some superficial work to shut the archbishop up.

The key point is that the archbishop can't afford to offend the acting legion commander and has no way to help them get justice.

The priest didn't want this to happen to him, so he had to obey.

He glanced at Mith from time to time, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke out the archbishop's order.

"The Archbishop orders you to allow the subhuman Petra to pass the review of the [Judgment] team this year... The above was said in a strong tone..."

The priest didn't dare to follow Michel's example and give Herbert a strong order, so he had to choose this method to complete Michel's task.

When Miss heard the name "Petra", she frowned instantly.

"Isn't it coming for me?"

It is impossible for a big shot like Michel to pay attention to Petra for no reason.

It even has to internally control the assessment of the [Judge] team.

There is only one possibility, conspiracy.

After hearing the order from the priest, Hobert's expression did not change.

The timid priest asked tentatively: "Will you obey my orders this time?"

Hobert laughed. "I definitely won't listen. I never listen to his orders. The more he asks me to go easy on Petra, the more I will raise Petra's review standards."

As he spoke, his eyes met the priest's and he smiled kindly, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

The priest felt a chill all over his body, penetrating his bones and heart.

He could see that Hobart was smiling but had a dagger hidden in his heart. Without hesitation, he wrote down Hobart's last few words and decisively fled the scene.

He was to take the news to the Archbishop that Hobart did not intend to carry out the order.

"The Archbishop is truly a god descended from heaven. He guessed it right!"

After the priest left, Miss looked melancholy.

He felt that this order was a conspiracy by Michelle, which was intended to deliberately anger Hubbard and make Hubbard disobey the order on his own initiative.

"Maybe there's a trick."

Hobert put away his smile and said, "Of course it's a trick."

Miss looked at Hobert, who was unusually serious, and asked, "You found out too?"

Hobert nodded. "His real purpose is to prevent Petra from joining the Judge team."

"But what is his purpose in doing this?"

Miss didn't understand what kind of connection there was between Petra, the Judge team and himself.

Hobert explained: “After the [Judge] team is finished with the assessment, they will go to the demon world to carry out their mission.

He stopped Petra from joining the Judge because he was worried that Petra would tell you about it.

He doesn’t want you to notice the entrance to the Demon Realm, or rather, he doesn’t want you to enter the Demon Realm.”
