"According to the reports of the paladins, a total of fifty-three slave trading dens were destroyed and one hundred and seventy-five people were captured, including sixty-five cultists. Worsos has also admitted that he has colluded with the cultists........."

Speaking of this, Old Bishop Howard's face couldn't help but show a little wry smile, from any point of view, this operation can be said to be a great success, but it is precisely because of the great success that it has brought him a lot of trouble. But Jenn obviously didn't care about this, only to see him lazily change his movements on the sofa, and then waved his hand.

"Getting to the point."

“………… Okay, we've sealed all the strongholds of the Lion Minions Chamber of Commerce and confiscated the contents of the property, totaling 563 million .........."

"That's it."

Hearing this, Jenn shook his head.

"As always, half of you, the rest is mine, no problem."

"Of course not, my lord."

Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Howard sighed again, thinking that everything is like this, no matter how much there is a problem, it can only be fine, otherwise what can be done? During this time, he was almost annoyed to death, and the messengers of the lords from all over the country took turns to run to their temples, and vaguely heard the news that they planned to respond to the bishopric at a higher level.

"Those lords sent people to inquire about the seized strongholds........."

"If they want it, they will give it to them, anyway, it's useless for us to hold it in our hands, and the free transfer is regarded as a gift."

Hearing this, Howard nodded reassuringly, he thought the same thing. In any case, this surprise attack on the Lion Minions Chamber of Commerce also harmed the interests of many nobles. More or less they must be compensated, although the bulk commodities and money of the Lion's Minions Chamber of Commerce have been confiscated by the Templar Order, but so many lots are legal. You have to give an explanation. Now that Jenn is willing to confiscate those places, it will also make the nobles somewhat comfortable. But Bishop Howard hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

“……… My lord, there are a lot of complaints about this incident........."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly. A mocking smile appeared.

"Below, which one is below? Which regional bishops? ”

"Yes."

Since Jenn has guessed everything, then Howard will naturally not hide it anymore.

"They were very angry about it, thinking that we were too reckless and that we didn't consult them beforehand. Not only that, but there were also a lot of complaints from the aristocracy. Lord Pawood's emissary had already come three times, all because of this, and he wanted the Templar Order to be cautious......... In this way, we are really passive. ”

"Passive?"

Hear here. Jenn narrowed his eyes and snorted.

"Lord Howard, I ask you, after this, have any of the paladins who participated in the operation lost their holy powers and were punished? Or are there fewer believers below us, and no one dares to come to church to pray? ”

"This ............... No. ”

Faced with Jenn's inquiry, Howard thought for a moment. Then he shook his head. That's why the bishops of the districts, though they hate their paladins for their own slashes, are powerless against them. Because they have not lost their holy power. This shows that the gods are not disgusted by what they are doing. Otherwise, their power would have been gone long ago. And if something like this happened, Howard wouldn't have heard about it at all. As for the number of believers, instead of decreasing, the number of believers is now increasing.

Getting this answer, Jenn also smiled slightly.

"So. Do you worship gods, or do you worship nobles? ”

"Of course it's a god!"

When it comes to major issues of right and wrong, Howard doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Hearing this answer, Jenn's smile brightened even brighter.

"I don't understand, you weren't punished by the gods. Why worry about those aristocrats? Could it be that they are sent down by the gods, and they can still report this little to the sky god kingdom? No, since you can't, then what do you have to worry about? ”

"Mainly the bishops of the regions below, they are worried that those nobles will be dissatisfied with this, so they ......... in terms of offerings"

Speaking of this, Howard also shook his head, although he was also worried about this matter, but looking at the virtue of the bishops in the following areas made him very dissatisfied. Looking at them, it was as if they regarded those nobles as their own golden masters, for fear that they would not be happy to give money or would be unhappy to wear the church's shoes......... It's no wonder that Jenn asks this question, are you believing in the gods of nobility?

"You don't need to worry about that."

Hearing Howard's concern, Jenn waved his hand again, looking indifferent.

"I remember that I found a lot of lists below, and there are those nobles in them, right, give me those lists, and then I will keep a copy of them in your possession. You find a time to get a few names out of the list. I assure you, after that the nobles will be more diligent in donating their possessions than ever before. ”

"Is that okay?"

Hearing Jenn's idea, Howard was directly stunned. Of course, he knew what Jenn was trying to do, and those nobles would definitely be extremely nervous if they knew that there was such a list in the hands of the Templar Order, and when the time came, they would definitely change their ways to give benefits to the Templar Order, so as to prevent the Templar Order from making this list public. But Howard never thought of doing this, and in his opinion, it was blackmail! And now, Jenn actually wants the Templar Order to blackmail the nobles?

"Why can't that be?"

Jenn glared at Howard with hatred.

"Let me ask you, do those nobles in those lists say that those nobles are related to cultists?"

"No, only a few cultists have revealed that a small number of nobles have a relationship with them."

Howard shook his head, most of those lists were trade between slave traders and nobles, and there was no such evil as life sacrifice. After all, the nobles still have to face more or less, although the cultists who were arrested revealed some information, but not much.

"That's it, find some people to keep an eye on those guys, and since we don't have enough evidence to prove that they are related to the cultists, then these people are at most buying and selling slaves, which is not under the control of our Templar Order, and now that the culprit of the lion minions has been revealed, the next thing is just to enforce the law impartially." It's better to execute them in public, so that the monkeys fully realize how good we are. Let them know that above their heads, there is a righteous eye like our Templar on them! ”

Listening to what Jenn said was so high-sounding, Howard felt sore. But he had to admit that although Jenn seemed to be messing around, everything he said made sense. And in doing so, it is not at all contrary to the teachings of the Templar Order. Although you said that Jenn was blackmailing by doing this, but they just received the list in their hands, and did not send someone to other nobles to say that if you don't give money, I will publish the list, but those nobles rushed to donate, and people voluntarily paid for it, what kind of blackmail is this? And it does do so that those originally unscrupulous nobles can be reined in, which will be beneficial to all parties. At the same time, it will further strengthen the influence of the Templar Order, and in fact more believers are now worshipping in all the regions below than before. From this point of view, what Jenn did was a joy for all. The Templar Order has expanded its influence, received tangible benefits, and received more donations. The nobles will not be so unscrupulous, and from any point of view, the Templar Order has taken advantage of it this time.

It's just that Howard still can't turn this corner, after all, it's too ......... Ay............

Knowing that he couldn't convince Jenn, Howard could only sigh helplessly and muttered to himself.

"I really don't know if I'm getting old, or if the world has changed........."

"The world hasn't changed, Bishop Howard, it's just that you're going to change the way you see the world."

Looking at the lonely Howard, Jenn shrugged his shoulders. The cause of this incident is that the lion minions will rob their own goods, but poor Howard doesn't know the real reason until now, but what does it matter? The lion's minions have done a lot of evil in their own hands, and they deserve it. Who called Vosos disobedient? If he was willing to contribute money to eliminate the disaster, he would not have reached the point where the entire Chamber of Commerce was completely finished. But what's the use of saying this now, anyway, Vossos is finished, and Jenn has also obtained a lot of wealth, and at the same time, he has gathered a lot of useful talents. You know, those slave traders don't sell everyone, you just get a disabled person to find money, and no one wants it. And these nobles are not low, so most of these slaves who are brought have a skill, as for those girls, they are naturally trained, according to reason, they can generally be sold for a high price, but now it is cheap Jenn, not a penny is accepted, and then all thrown into the "construction team" that Unicole is in charge of.

Originally, Jenn thought that Unicole would take advantage of the fall of the Lion Minions Chamber of Commerce to expand, but Unicole obviously has a lot of ideas, she plans to do things step by step, as long as this new city is built, then there will be no worries about the Star Chamber of Commerce not returning to its former glory. Jenn didn't care about this, so he went with her.

"It's time for the bishops of the region to investigate and see if they are truly religious, and I doubt that a few of them will be able to perform magic in public."

"I'll take care of it."

Hearing Jenn's words, Howard nodded helplessly, and then he was about to turn around and leave, but at this time, Howard seemed to remember something and looked at Jenn again.

"Oh, by the way, my lord, there's something I want to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"It's about that monastery, it's like this......... Bishop Hegel intends to send a man there ........." (to be continued......
