Chapter 923: Contradiction (Page 1/1)

"Illusion?" Sellent glanced back suspiciously, he found no sign that Fett had been tricked by the illusion.

"Hehe, if he wasn't so greedy, my little illusion might not have succeeded!" Alfie's mouth crossed a strange arc, a little eager to know the wonderful scene when Fett took those "silver coins" to spend.

He was sure that Fett would definitely hide them when others were not looking, and that the fewer people who saw them, the less likely they were to be exposed—by the time he found out about the four silver coins, Alfie and Celent would have already disappeared into the vast crowd, and Alfie didn't believe that a small gate guard could find them from the imperial capital, which had a population of millions.

"Isn't that a good thing to do?" said Serent, sympathetic, knowing that the person who offended Alfie would never end well.

"Just look at his stupid look and know that he usually does bad things, so I'm just teaching him a lesson. Alfie said nonchalantly.

Silent shook his head helplessly, Alfie had a very good idea and rarely changed his mind.

"Where do we go next?" asked Celrent, digressing the subject.

"Didn't we discuss it a long time ago? of course, we should go to the Holy See branch first and find Uncle Vincent. Alfi looked at Celent in wonder, could it be that after coming to the flower world of the imperial capital, he temporarily changed his mind?

"I remember that the Holy See branch seems to be in the southern part of the imperial capital, and if we pass through here, we don't know how long it will take. Silent said cowardly.

The two of them entered from the north gate of the imperial capital, and if they wanted to think of the Imperial Capital branch of the Holy See, they would almost cross the entire urban area. Finding the right route from a cobweb-like road in a huge city with a population of more than a million is a huge test for the two who don't know each other well.

"Hey~ I thought you were worried about something! It's simple, why don't we hire a car?" Alfie said angrily.

"I heard that the consumption in the imperial capital is very expensive. Silent pinched his pocket in embarrassment, Bishop Fren had given him very little pocket money, and the two silver coins he had just paid into the city tax had already been all he had—he had almost spent all the way to it.

"Hehe, I'm a little embarrassed to eat and drink you along the way, now that you're in the imperial capital, you're ready to enjoy happiness with me!" Alfie said triumphantly.

"You're going to trick people with illusion again?" asked Celent with a wary expression. Celent is not a pedantic person, Alfie uses illusion to teach Fett, who oppresses the people, he can accept, but using illusion to deceive innocent people touches Serente's bottom line.

"It's so sad!" Alfie said with an exaggerated expression of hurt, "Am I such a person in your heart?

"Not really. Celent said apologetically, "But why did you become so generous as soon as you entered the imperial capital?"

"Because only the Imperial Capital can exchange this thing for gold coins!" Alfie triumphantly unveiled a gold wine glass with an intricately carved pattern.

"Where did you get that?" said Serent, frowning slightly, he seemed to have seen a glass of this style somewhere.

"Wicoburg, of course. Alfie replied as a matter of course. The accumulation of thousands of years in the Blood Clan's castle is not trivial, but under the brilliance of various artifacts and treasures, worldly things such as gold, silver and jewelry can hardly attract the attention of others.

"You stole it?" Septant was taken aback.

"Ahem, ahem!" Alfie was choked and couldn't breathe, and with the help of Selent's scrambling hands, he took a lot of effort to calm down: "What do you mean by stealing! This is a gift from Krees!"

It was only after listening to Elfie's angry explanation that Celent realized that the ghost banquet hall was full of such exquisite utensils.

"How much did Mr. Krees give you?" asked Soul Fox.

"Guess?" Alfie winked at Serent.

"There must be more than one anyway!" Celent knew Alfie too well, and with his character, if Krees only gave him this one glass, he would never be so generous to give it for money.

"Hehe~" Alfie gave Celent a tacit look, "Don't worry, when you change the gold coins, you will have to share half of it!"

"I don't need it!" Celent waved his hand in a panic, "I'm going to the Holy See branch soon, I don't need any gold coins!"

"What are you polite to me?" Alfie put away the wine glass and put her arms around Selent's neck affectionately, "Believe me, I have a hunch that the people of the Holy See Branch are definitely not like you think, and treat money like dung. ”

"Let's not talk about this ......" Silent wittily avoided Alfie's speculation, although he knew in his heart that it was probably true, but before witnessing it with his own eyes, he was reluctant to jump to conclusions, "Since you have these things, why don't you take them out and help them when you meet those people in difficulty on the way?"

"As I said, before I came to the imperial capital, there were some remote towns along the way, and there was no chance to exchange these things for gold coins. Alfie replied helplessly. He was a little speechless about this concept of Slent, saying that if it is good, it is open-minded, and if it is bad, it is indiscriminate to be a good person.

"Can't we just give these things to those in need?" asked Celant, puzzled.

"Hmph, Selent, you're still so naïve after so much~ Have you forgotten the truth of guilt?" Alfie turned Selent's face and stared into his eyes and said, "For civilians who are powerless to protect these treasures, these things are the source of disaster for them." Along the way, you've seen that the nobles had no reason to talk about it, and they never really cared about the lives of the commoners. If they find these things, the most likely thing is to kill people and take treasures!"

Celent swallowed hard, Alfie was right, there were too many such things happening along the way, if it weren't for the two of them being poorly dressed, plus having such an identity as a priest as a talisman, I'm afraid there would have been many lootings.

Although the people they met had learned their due, it also gave the two of them a deep sense of powerlessness. More than 2,000 years after the peace of the mainland, the whole situation of the empire has become more and more rotten. The power of just two people can't be reversed.

"Elfie, do you think it's possible to change the kind of bad things we've encountered along the way?" asked Celrant.

"It's too difficult!Unless you can become the top of the Holy See, use the influence of the Holy See to slowly change the entire continent, or simply seize the imperial power, then the top-down reform will be more effective!" Alfie said in a rebellious manner.

"You're crazy! dare to say such a thing in the imperial capital!" Celent was so shocked that she tried to cover Alfie's mouth.

"Don't worry. I've observed, and no one is around, and no one notices this corner at all. Alfie replied confidently.

"That...... May I ask the two masters, do you hire a car?" Before Alfie could finish speaking, a cowardly voice suddenly appeared behind them, startling the two of them!
