Henry spent a day and two nights in the city of Bluvent, meeting with all the important people on the island, and then visiting Doris, who was pregnant. The baron's daughter looked like she had some pregnancy syndrome, and her whole body looked nervous, like a frightened bunny.

It is no wonder, after all, there are many ruthless aristocratic ladies who will hack their husband's other lovers and illegitimate children in order to protect the status of their children from being threatened, usually with one corpse and two lives. However, this situation generally occurs when the woman's family is relatively strong, otherwise it is easy to arouse the anger of the man, and it is likely to evolve into a war between the two families in the end.

Obviously, this situation could never happen in the Angome family, and as a lady, Poeti did not even dare to have such an idea. After so many years of getting along, she knows very well what kind of person her husband is, although he looks gentle on the surface, in fact, there is no room for a little sand in his eyes. Anyone who crosses the line at the slightest point will be immediately warned or punished, and if they do more than twice, they will be immediately eliminated.

Over the years, more than 30 officials have been executed in public, and more than 100 have been secretly dealt with. It was this kind of fierce and even cruel means that frightened everyone, and they did not dare to touch the cordon that had been drawn. Everyone honestly did their part, and a set of unspoken rules that were tacitly acquiesced by the officials were formed.

This rule not only greatly inhibits the breeding of corruption, but also clearly delineates the scope of responsibilities of each official, so that when something happens, the corresponding person in charge can be directly found, eliminating the possibility of passing the buck to each other. The efficiency of the entire bureaucracy has been greatly improved.

Before leaving. Henry also personally presided over the recruitment of the captives of the Sawa Fishmen. Anyone who is willing to spit on the emblem of Saikora will be pardoned. They are allowed to live and reproduce near the Angome Islands, and those who would rather die than descend are forcibly transformed into undead forms and thrown into the sewers as free garbage cleaners.

Perhaps because of the collapse of faith, a full 2,000 captives chose to abandon their former gods, and less than 600 diehards chose to die. Most of them were priests and warriors, not even a single mage. This once again shows that smart people are unreliable, and in order to survive, more than forty mages have all surrendered without exception.

After taking the oath of allegiance. The Sawa Fishmen were all released into the sea. In the future, the Mage Tower will monitor their activities and summon them to battle at any time if necessary. Henry had no worries about rebellion, for as soon as they were out of his shelter, they would be torn to pieces by the swarming kind, knowing that Sekora had not spared any precedent for treachery.

It can be said that this is a secret chess set by Henry, and after Aberdell or Aemon is crowned a god, he will force these fishmen to believe in the new god of killing, and then order them to start clearing all the undersea cities in the area from Sword Bay to the Sea of Sword, and turn this large area of the sea into a place of faith for the new gods before Sekora notices it.

When this foundation is firmly established, it can also spread to the Sea of Glory or the Sea of Tracelessness in the south. In this way, the belief system of the sea overlord Shahua Fishman can be cut in one fell swoop. This can be described as a bolt from the blue for a race god, let alone regain his strength when the time comes. I'm afraid that if you are not careful, you may lose this battle for faith, and the final outcome may be to go to the astral boundary to lie down.

As a guy who regards the original nature of human beings as the truth, Henry doesn't believe in the idea that those bullshit people don't offend me, and I don't offend people. In his eyes, as long as he is sure that he is an enemy, or may be an enemy in the future, he will use all kinds of means to fight until the other party is completely destroyed from body to soul.

It can be said that this is a very extreme approach, and it is very likely to attract criticism from many so-called righteous people. But this is the only way to truly leave no trouble, and at the same time to give a warning to those with bad intentions, so that everyone can see the fate of their enemies, even the gods.

Henry believed that whether it was a god or a demon lord, they were a bunch of cheap bones who bullied the weak and feared the hard, and as long as you were stronger and more vindictive than them, these guys would hide away like castrated dogs, and would not dare to provoke them lightly unless necessary. But if you compromise at every turn, then these guys will be like mad dogs, biting and not spitting until they tear off a piece of meat.

As the saying goes, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. In this world of all kinds of strife, if you don't want to be fat in the eyes of others, you have to show the nature of a carnivore. In particular, there must not be a trace of sympathy in dealing with the enemy, otherwise it will be regarded as weakness and can be bullied, and many people will be ready to rush up and get some advantage at that time.

After dealing with this qiē, Henry returned to the Elatan Mansion on the morning of the third day. As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw a human man in his fifties sitting on the sofa. His hair looked a little gray, but he was meticulously combed, he always had a smile on his face, he wore a magical full-body armor that looked old, and the emblem of Tom, the god of loyalty and courage, on his chest, and a heart-shaped motif next to him, the emblem of the Knights of the Most Zealous Heart.

When the man saw Henry, he hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly. "Good morning, Your Excellency. My name is Kaidong. Filcon is a judge who believes in the god of loyalty and courage (a variant of the Paladin, dedicated to those who use evil magic). ”

"Good morning. I have heard of your great name and glorious achievements, and you are also the longest-serving member of the Order. Henry returned the salute. The moment he heard the name, he remembered that the old man in front of him who was full of personal charm turned out to be the one who was almost cuckolded by his wife because he was often away from home in the game.

Kaidong humbly lowered his head and smiled and said, "My little record is not worth mentioning at all. After all, you killed the legendary dragon Balagas "Flying Flame", and I still can't believe that its head has been hung above the main entrance of the parliament building. ”

"You're so humble. Is there anything important about coming to me this time? Henry finally couldn't stand this unnutritious mutual compliment and went straight to the point. He felt that the other party must have a purpose for coming this time, and it was very likely that he was here to ask for his help.

"Yes, I have brought with me all the temples of Ascatra and the Knights of the Heath, and I want to hire you and your companions to investigate the recent cult of Blind Eyes, and find out who is behind it. This sheepskin record some clues, and hopefully it will help the operation. With that, Kaidong took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and handed it over.

Henry took a brief glance and put it away, as there was no useful information at all other than mentioning that the other party's stronghold was in the sewers of the temple area. He frowned and asked, "That's all?" It's useless at all. ”

Kaidong sighed slightly and explained: "No way, these people are very sensitive to priests and paladins, as long as they get closer, they will be discovered, and there is no way to investigate deeply. Of course, the temple paid handsomely for the commission, a full 20,000 gold coins and a magic weapon, plus you could get the allegiance of a small team of paladins. ”

"Oh? Is this what the Order means? Henry asked, surprised. He couldn't believe it was true. You must know that the holy warriors rarely owe allegiance to the secular lords, because of the relationship between the political and the people, they have to do something contrary to the good, and it is easy to lead to degeneration.

Kaidong nodded with a stern expression. "That's right, this cult has spread very fast, and it has grown to nearly 1,000 followers in just a few weeks. The Knights' hierarchy has decided that as long as you can get rid of the masterminds, the six paladins will immediately leave the Order and swear allegiance to you. ”

"Okay, I'll take the task. I'll need a little time to prepare, and I'll be heading out to the sewers in the temple area by this afternoon at the latest. Henry agreed without hesitation. He knew that both the temple and the knights were already bleeding this time, especially the six paladins could form a special squad dedicated to crusading bandits and monsters.

"Thank you very much. Before entering the sewers, be sure to stop by the Order's headquarters, where I will always be waiting for you. With that, Kaidong bowed and turned to walk towards the door. When he was gone, Henry shouted at the staircase, "Come out, I know you're eavesdropping." ”

"Aha, are we going to go on an adventure again?" Ammon was the first to emerge from the shadows and asked excitedly.

Henry smiled and nodded. "That's right, let's get ready, and we'll leave after lunch. Oh, by the way, why is it just you and Sheena, Naria? ”

The dragon lady shrugged her shoulders and replied, "She went to the council early yesterday morning to report, and was busy contacting Sir de Anies's former friends, and seemed to be ready to make a big deal." ”

Hearing that Naria had finally acted, an imperceptible smile crossed Henry's face. He touched his chin and said to the girls, "It seems that she has finally found her purpose in life." In that case, the next adventure will only be the three of us, plus the Paladin Kaidon just now. ”

"Is there a little less people?" Am asked with a wink.

"It's a bit small, but don't worry, it won't be long before new teammates join. After all, there are too many adventurers to count, and there will always be one or two that can make us look at them. Okay, don't think about it so much now, go get ready, and then have lunch together. In particular, you must bring more spell casting materials, and I have a hunch that this commission will not be too easy. ”

The people of the temple may not know, but Henry remembers very well who is behind the "Blind Eye", a large group of Eye Demons hidden underground. It also involves the lost artifact, the cursed sage, and I am afraid that it is impossible to explore such a large underground labyrinth in one or two days. (To be continued......)
