944 Greed
The Inquisition Squad launched an almost city-wide raid in the Holy City. Caught some people, but never got the handsome magician with a little maid by his side.
Although no one was caught, the Heresy Inquisition Bureau is not a vegetarian, and based on the information they collected along the way, they found that this magician, except for the hair color, is suspected to be the pope of the Wealth God Cult.
When they came to this conclusion, they were a little frightened and a little excited, and immediately reported it to the pope.
When the Pope of the Life God Sect heard this, he frowned slightly: "This is impossible. Do you think that the pope of a sect will leave his territory at will, and run to the enemy's house with only one maid, and be so high-profile along the way? ”
The Inquisitor was speechless when asked, and the Pope's reasoning was indeed very logical.
"So, has this young man pretending to be the Pope of Wealth been caught?" Teach to stare at the interrogator.
The Inquisitor of the Heresy still shook his head, and at this time he felt as if he was a waste, and that he had not accomplished anything, and that he had actually run to the Pope to show his merits?
"Calm down for a while." The Pope sighed and said, "You have to think things clearly before you talk and do things." You have good abilities, but your personality is too impulsive, otherwise you can rise to a higher position. ”
The Inquisitor of the Heresy stepped back in great shame. Out of the Pope's Hall, he looked at his subordinates who had been waiting for a long time, and said viciously: "Dig three feet into the ground, and find out the impostor pope who teased us, understand?" ”
As soon as this order came out, the sacred realm of the God of Life Sect was jumping for another period of time.
And Beta was not in the Sanctuary of the Cult of Life at this time. He is not a fool, knowing that his behavior will arouse the vigilance of the other party, so he naturally will not continue to stay in the other party's base camp.
He left a secret magical sign on the outskirts of the Holy City of the God of Life Cult, and then teleported back to Vorgin City.
Unlike the country of Longekan, Hollevon is still in the tail end of winter. The snow in and out of the city makes people feel a little cold.
Not far from the city of Woljin at this time, in the newly-born elven forest, it is like spring all year round, with birds and insects chirping, full of vitality.
Naturally, this kind of scene has attracted the attention of many people. Some of the nobles and big merchants in Wojin City also wanted to move in, but they were blocked, and they couldn't even get close to the periphery.
Naturally, this caused some resentment.
Then naturally, there will be some not-so-good discussions, which will circulate in a small circle.
When Beta returned from outside, Angel reported the matter to him.
Holding the report, sitting in her arms Angel, the former queen, Beta frowned slightly.
At this moment Emma came in and saw her mother sitting on Beta's lap, her clothes ruffled to her shoulders. She flushed and rushed over. Pulling his mother's clothes off, he dragged her aside and sat himself on Beta's lap.
This operation was fast and skillful.
Angel covered her mouth and smiled, then said to Beta, "It's my turn today, I'll wait for you at night." ”
Watching her mother leave, Emma's face turned red, she put her arms around Beta's neck, and said affectionately: "You and your mother are more leisurely, what if you mess around and give birth to a child, and I give birth to another child?" ”
Well...... This is indeed a problem.
"But we've messed around with the problem." Beta sighed, "Sometimes you're caught in the middle." ”
"Don't say it." Emma shyly covers Beta's mouth, then throws a bill on the table and runs away.
Beta took the information Angel gave and looked at it, frowning slightly.
After a while, Shirley came in, and she asked, "What are you going to do about the nobility and merchant class who want to relocate to the Elven Grove?" ”
"Bring these four people over, and the tone is better." Beta nodded at the names above.
Shirley glanced at the names and smiled, "Okay." ”
The invitation soon reached the hands of three nobles, as well as a large merchant. After getting the invitation, the first thing they did was get together.
The firewood in the fireplace burned extremely vigorously. Viscount Sharp-Harry sat in his seat, looking at his three allies.
As a fifty-seven-year-old man, he did not look old, but more like a young man in his thirties.
"His Majesty the Pope has already entertained us, and surely our thoughts have reached his ears." He said with some smugness: "Anyway, we are at least right. Next, we need to be united in our hearts and minds to make concessions from His Majesty the Pope. The city is huge, but all the power is in the hands of the Pope, which is not good. ”
The others smiled.
But one person asked, "What if the Pope does something to us?" Our force is far from his. ”
"Impossible." Viscount Sharp said confidently, "The Fortune God Cult is a neutral sect, and they even tend to favor the good side. Such a sect, they cherish their reputation very much, and they will not do anything to people for no reason. Especially if we don't use force. ”
"If you do that, you are against the doctrine. Then, even the Pope will be weakened, and maybe the gods will be angry. ”
Another person asked: "But I heard that the current pope is the husband of the goddess." ”
"It's even more nonsense." Viscount Sharp said disdainfully, "Gods and mortals, do you think it's possible? Even if there is such a thing, it should be the legendary brave, or the legendary dragon knight. ”
"The Pope is the Dragon Knight."
"Dragon knights are all warriors, and there has never been an example of a legal profession serving as a dragon knight." Sharp slapped the table heavily, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes: "He just used benefits or threats to a dragon to become his mount, not a real dragon knight." ”
The other three did not speak.
"I still say the same thing, wealth and danger are sought." Sharp's tone became indifferent again: "I'm ninety percent sure that I can use the teachings of the Wealth God Sect to force him to give in." Even if you don't open up the elven forest to us, you can still get some benefits. Now, if you are willing to make money, follow me, and if you feel that there is no hope, or feel that I am incapable and talk nonsense, please leave. ”
No one left.
Sharp nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go back and prepare, we have to dress better for the dinner in the evening." ”
At night, the hall of the Castle Lord's Mansion is lit up.
The wine and delicacies produced by the ability of the hero's banquet are fragrant for ten miles.
The four of Viscount Sharp came together, and they found that in addition to the four of them, Beta also invited the Winter Wolf Holy Maiden, and the envoy of the elven clan, Amilia.
Viscount Sharp's expression changed slightly, but he was still confident.
The guest of honor sat down, and everyone was not in a hurry to talk about business, but chatted about some things while eating.
Emilia was very interested in the fruit wine, and drank two more glasses, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The Winter Wolf Saintess was a little puzzled, and kept looking at Beta, the three human nobles, and the merchants.
When Beta waited for them to eat and drink to their heart's content, and when the night was over, she took advantage of the wine and turned the conversation to business.
"I've heard some rumors lately, and it's interesting." Beta looked at Viscount Sharp: "Say that our Wealth God Cult favors the elves, even the orcs. Saying that we are not as good as elves to humans, I don't know if a few people have heard of this. ”
The Winter Wolf Holy Maiden frowned, although the Overlord Clan had now joined Wojin City, in essence, they were still regarded as outsiders.
Convergence is not a matter of a few years or a decade, but at least a few decades.
Emilia had an indifferent expression on her face, she smiled at Beta and said, "I've been in the elven woods lately, and I don't know anything. ”
Beta looked across from him: "Viscount Sharp, you know what?" ”
"I've heard of it." Sharp nodded, he looked at Beta, and there was not much respect in his eyes: "I think there is some truth to this rumor." ”
Beta was curious and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
"The Elven Grove in the south, why forbid us people from Wojin City to enter. It's not fair that the elves can come to our city of Wojin at any time. ”
Emilia's expression finally changed, and she looked at Sharp and then at Beta, a little worried.
Beta nodded: "I set this rule. After all, the elves are a race that has no quarrel with the world, and they are not used to places that are too lively. ”
"We understand." Viscount Sharp said: "But we only need a fair, we don't need too many people, as long as a few, or even a dozen people can move in." Isn't fair dealing, fair trade, and even fairness between people the principles pursued by the Wealth God Cult? ”
"You have a point." Beta nodded: "But you forgot a little. Wetlands are my territory. I rented that land to the elves, and they paid a lot of things. It's not a public place, there's no question of fairness. ”
Lord Sharp frowned: "But most people don't see it that way." ”
"That's what most people see. It's you who don't see it that way. Beta's smile was a little oppressive: "Why do you want to live in the elven woods? ”
Sharp looked at his three companions and gave a code with his eyes.
The big fat merchant asked, "We don't have to live in the woods. Your Excellency the Pope, Nor are we coveting your territory. We just want to understand why outsiders are so courteous in our human world. Whether it's the elves, the frostwolf clan, or the orcs......"
"I'm still saying that. This is my territory, and it's up to me to decide what kind of policies I want to make. Who I want to be nice to, that's my business. Beta laughed: "Why don't I make a luxury tax, whoever has more luxury goods, the more money they will collect, how about it?" ”
The merchant turned pale and laughed awkwardly. No more talking.
Sharp said lightly: "Pope, it's not good to help outsiders oppress their own people. Wojin City is indeed yours, but it is even more of a Terran. At least, it was us humans who built the city. Instead of
Orcs or elves. ”
