Chapter 356: Waste utilization is everyone's responsibility
"Thanks to your help this time, Mr. Jenn."
Appearing in front of Jenn again, a helpless wry smile appeared on Bishop Howard's face. Admittedly, Jenn likes to do things that embarrass the Templar. But in the general direction, he has contributed a lot to the Templar Order. In the case of Alexander, he had come all the way from the north, and the Templars had nothing to do with him. In a time when royal power and religion are at loggerheads, it is only natural that such a thing has left the Templar in disgrace. Although the Templars mobilized a considerable number of clerics and paladins to chase and intercept them all the way, Alexander was able to break free from their encirclement every time. This series of failures had already brought the Templar to shame, and if Jenn hadn't taken care of the trouble in Passus, the Templar's reputation across the Eagle Plateau would have been almost ruined.
Because of this, Bishop Howard was grateful to Jenn for being able to defeat and kill Alexander. If other nobles did this, the Templar would inevitably fall into a crisis of public opinion. However, Jenn is different, he is a nobleman, and regardless of the reality, he is a member of the Templar Order in his written capacity, so Jenn's credit is naturally the credit of the Templar Order......... Even now there is a debate within the Templar Order about whether or not to grant Jenn the title of Paladin, but of course, this is just an opinion.
"You're welcome, Bishop Howard, this is what I should do."
Hear the old bishop speak. Jenn smiled, then narrowed his eyes. Glancing at Alexander's body in a cage next to him. At this moment, the soulless body had become ugly, just to be on the safe side. Jenn froze it with the ice prism he created with the blue light. It stands to reason that a monster like this should be cremated as soon as it is killed, but Jenn was very considerate of the Templar Order, so he kept the corpse. The best way to restore the Order's reputation is for the Templar Order to "cleanse" the corpse in public, so that they can regain the prestige they have lost in the hearts of the populace. This is one of the reasons why the Howard Bishop Church thanked Jenn, if Jenn just burned Alexander to ashes, then they would not be able to explain it to the people. Although it can also be said that evil monsters have been completely reduced to ashes under the light of justice. But compared to words, it is clear that what you see with your own eyes will be more convincing.
But it was clear that Jenn would never do a day job for the Templars, and he watched as the clerics sealed Alexander's body and loaded it into the wagon, then turned to look at the old man in front of him, and then spoke.
"But......... I have a little Jianyì, Lord Bishop. ”
"What is built?"
Hearing Jenn's words, Old Bishop Howard was also shocked, and he quietly reached out and touched his beard. But deep down, there was some uneasiness. Others may not know very well, but Howard, who has dealt with Jenn many times, knows very well that this seemingly harmless young man is actually quite shrewd, and he can pluck even a wild goose flying above his head. From the time Bishop Howard and Jenn began working together until now, he hadn't seen the other party suffer any time. This time Alexander had such a good time in Passus. To say that Jenn would let the other party go so easily, I don't believe that he killed Howard. Sure enough, now the drama meat is finally on the scene.
"It's simple."
Noticing the old bishop's twinkle in his eyes. Jenn chuckled, in fact, after he learned from Enoa that it was Alexander who had attacked. Jenn had already decided to knock him off, and now. It's time to make your own conditions.
"I think you know very well Lord Howard that it is impossible for ordinary cultists to possess demons with such abilities."
"Of course."
Although he didn't know what Jenn wanted to say, Howard also nodded when he heard this. As Jenn said, the average cultist is at most killing people and stealing goods, and only the high-level of those cultists can really obtain demon possession and transformation. In fact, he was also very curious about where Alexander got such great ability, knowing that demonization is not an easy thing -- and Alexander is not a mage, he is just a noble heir, and logically speaking, there is no chance of mixing with those high-level demons.
"So I suspect that Alexander is very likely to be at the top of a cult, such as the Order of Chaos, or the Cult of Doom. I suggest that we should conduct a thorough and comprehensive search of the Soros family. Find information about the cults and wipe out those who dare to try to kidnap the prisoners and violate the majesty of the Templar Order! ”
"What did you say!!"
Jenn said the righteousness and strictness, but the old bishop who heard his words was surprised, and he immediately understood the hidden meaning of Jenn's words, it turned out that this kid had already made up his mind to clean up the Soros family!
At first glance, Bishop Howard only felt that Jenn was messing around, but when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that maybe it was really possible for the Templar Order to agree with Jenn's opinion.
The reason is simple, during the time when Alexander escaped from prison, the Soros family protested to the Templar Order more than once, which was also a huge headache for the Templar. If it was some minor nobles, then the Templar Order would just ignore them, but the Soros family was different, as one of the most powerful families in the Skar Federation, even the Templar Order would not dare to provoke each other lightly. What's more, after Alexander's escape, there were no substantial consequences. Therefore, the meaning of the Templar Order is that more is better than less, so it did not investigate further and swallowed this breath.
However, the situation was different now, and Alexander had killed almost the entire north, which also caused the prestige of the Templar to plummet. In this case, even if it is for the sake of face, the Templar Order has to get to the bottom of it. And how many of those nobles have no collusion with the cultists? On the Eagle Plateau, many big nobles are secretly connected with cults, and behind the smuggled goods, slaves and some magic poisons sold in the dark, there is a strong alliance between cultists and nobles. The Templars also know that when the water is clear, there are no fish, so they may crack down on cultists who are too rampant, but they rarely cause trouble for the nobles.
There is no need to investigate, the old bishop can be sure that the Soros family must be having an affair with the cultists, and as long as this kind of thing is investigated, it will definitely not be able to contain the fire.
Of course, as for whether there is a relationship between those cultists and Alexander, that's another matter.
But Bishop Howard looked at Jenn, knowing that the young man would never care if there was a relationship between the two of them—perhaps taking a step back, even the Templar Order itself wouldn't necessarily care about the relationship. After all, on the bright side, the Templar Order has the responsibility and obligation to crack down on a Qiē cultist. And once the Soros family is determined to have an affair with the cultists, and there are high-ranking cultists among them, then no matter what happens to Alexander, the Soros family is doomed.
Under normal circumstances, the Templar would not have dared to be so aggressive. But now, Alexander's madness gave them a fairly good reason and excuse, and the other nobles had nothing to say. Each circle has its own rules, even between religion and royal power. The Order respects the power of the nobility and can pretend to turn a blind eye to minor issues. Then the nobles naturally had to reciprocate and make certain concessions to the influence of the Order. And Alexander's actions have clearly broken the rules and tacit understanding between the two sides, so it is only natural for the Templar to retaliate. In this case, even if the other nobles wanted to oppose it, they could not find any way.
Of course, with the power of the Templar Order in the Eagle Plateau, it was obviously impossible to deal with the second largest family of the Skar Federation. Even if the two sides did tear their skins apart, the Templar Order itself would definitely not have enough strength to deal with the other side. But......... This is clearly not the problem.
Thinking of this, Howard glanced at Jenn, knowing that if the Templar really planned to do this, then Jenn would definitely be the best helper - after all, his combat power could face a country directly, so naturally there would be no problem in dealing with a mere family. It can also show the majesty and power of the Templar Order, and those high-ranking people will definitely not turn a blind eye to it.
It's not easy............
Although it was not the first time he had worked with Jenn, Howard still sighed deep inside. This young man is very good at seizing opportunities, and the conditions he gives are almost impossible to refuse. Not only that, but the young man himself can also get huge benefits from it -- although Howard still doesn't know what Jenn wants from Soros, judging from the current situation, Soros probably has a few days to live.
"What do you think? Lord Bishop Howard? ”
Just as Howard was thinking, Jenn's voice rang out again. Hearing Jenn's words, Bishop Howard looked up, glanced at the young man in front of him, and then he thought for a moment. Finally, the old man nodded helplessly.
"I see, Mr. Jenn, it is the duty and duty of the Templar Order to fight evil, and I will submit your proposal to the upper echelons of the Church, and I think they will be able to come to a correct conclusion."
"I think so."
Hearing Old Bishop Howard's answer, the smile on Jenn's face became more and more elegant.
"No matter how sinister the world is, justice will eventually triumph in the end, even if there is a high wall in front of us, I believe that under the glory of freedom and justice, those petty people will definitely get the end they deserve."
At this, Jenn paused, and then he glanced meaningfully at the old bishop.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Bishop Howard." (To be continued......)
