I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 208 Hall of Valor

"I have long admired the name."

Luden stretched out his hand and held it together.

"Father Phuket."

For the Inquisition and Luden, this is a name with a story.

The Inquisition has continued to this day in another way, completely breaking away from the secular world and becoming an insulator of secular power.

If you want to maintain a huge organization for generations, you need to keep enough fresh blood to keep the organization going.

It is impossible for the Inquisition to leave their feet off the ground.

In addition to the disguise of the strange bird bookstore, they also need a nominal leader-Father Puji.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two of them took a few steps forward, away from the dirty place of the confessional, and sat down by the prayer bench in the church, chatting like old friends for many years.

Father Phuket explained,
"I rushed over after receiving your message."

Hearing this sentence, Luden thought for a while and said casually,
"Au is here too?"

Father Phuket: .
"I now believe that you are Mr. Luden."

Father Puji said with emotion,

"Even if I have read all your materials, I can only understand your superficiality. Excuse me, can you explain to me, a mortal, how did you see through the truth from one sentence?"

"it's actually really easy."

Luden said modestly,

"I have been with you for a few days, and after reading a lot of your materials, I have a more comprehensive understanding of the current situation of the Heresy Trial."

Father Puji sat relaxed on the bench, clasped his hands, and put one arm on the back of the chair. He turned sideways and looked at Mr. Luden with a focused expression, not missing a single word from the other party.

Loudon continued,

"The Heresy Tribunal should be divided into two departments, internal and external.

The internal department is the people of Strange Bird Bookstore. They are responsible for storing files, recording events, and arranging eyeliners and manpower in various places.

But these are not enough, the secrets of the palace cannot fly over the high walls, and if you want to record and record the world, you cannot do it independently of the world. "

Speaking of this, Lu Deng showed a slight smile on his face, stared at the other person's eyes, and casually pointed out,

"Some of you have started your old business."

What is the Inquisition best at?
Assassination?Compilation of history books?trial?

No, they are best at lurking.

The once holy descendant family was infiltrated into a sieve by the heresy trial.

The Inquisition renounced the secular power of the Divine State.

This choice ushered in the whole world for them.

Of course, they didn't dare to go too far and go too far.

"I have decided to give up secular power, but in order to record history, I have to join the world, but I am struggling in the secular world, and you are afraid of angering the presiding judge. To be honest, there are not many choices left for you."

Luden spread his hands and expressed his guess.
"You must follow an immortal, at least to reach a cooperative relationship. Al is with her, and will not cooperate with you. You can only cooperate for Awu."

Inside the church, there was applause.

Wonderful reasoning.

Mr. Luden's words seemed to condense the history of the Heresy Tribunal in the past hundreds of years.

Only when they are at the center of power can they have the opportunity to record everything.

And the immortal Awu, no matter where he is, will be the center of power.

Following Awu is the best choice and the only choice.

Since the Inquisition Office is serving Awu, Father Puji can come from other places when he receives the news.

What about Awu?

The answer is self-evident.

"I see."

Father Puji understood what Luden meant, and changed the topic,
"Your Majesty is not going to meet you for the time being."

"I know."

Luden yawned and said lazily,

"Although I have been away for hundreds of years, people will always change and grow, and... the feeling of being close to the hometown is timid."

These four words are Luden's description of Awu's mental state at the moment.

In particular, Awu knew that the return of Mr. Luden would last for a long time, with years as the unit.

Therefore, a reunion is not the most urgent matter.

A decent reunion, yes.

Although Luden trained Awu not too long, even shorter than Pangge.

However, Luden knew very well that Awu learned a very bad habit from himself: the sense of ritual.

The two of them didn't have much to talk about, and after a few simple greetings, they were ready to part.

Father Puji said that any strange bird bookstore can contact them, and even talk to the immortals, if Mr. Luden needs it.

Luden expressed his perfunctory thanks.

After all, he never relents when he can pluck the wool.

"By the way, Mr. Luden."

Before going out, the pale-faced Priest Puji stopped and looked back at Lu Deng.

"We are no longer called the Inquisition."

"Oh?"

Luden raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that things were getting interesting.

"You have a new name?"

"Yes, His Majesty Awu gave us a new name, a new name, and a new mission."

Father Puji bowed slightly, like the most humble servant, respectfully said that name,

"Hall of Valor."

Hall of Valor?
Sitting on the public carriage, Luden swayed with the carriage, recalling the previous conversation.

"Interesting name."

This world is more interesting than Luden imagined.

With the study and summary of the past few days, the world pattern gradually became clear in Luden's mind.

There are four major forces in the civilized world:
Shenbang Empire, Little United Kingdom, Highland Republic, Snowfield Alliance.

Among them, the Shenbang Empire occupies the largest area of ​​land and is the most powerful in name. However, there are perennial civil strife, the military system is chaotic, unable to fight abroad, and can only barely maintain the framework of the empire.

Both the Highland Republic and the Snowfield Alliance were split from the Shenbang Empire, with abundant military virtues and outrageous folk customs, they were also scornfully called barbarians by the Shenbang people.

The Little United Kingdom is a rising star, with the most powerful navy, rich resources of its own, and exchanges with land trade, relying on the wealth accumulated by pirates and artisans who came from exile on land, it has occupied a place.

In addition to these four major forces, there are also many small countries, city-states and other dependent forces on the land.

As for religious forces, it is simpler. There are three major religions in total:
The Thirteen Holy Churches, the Holy Father's Church, and the Notre Dame Church.

The Thirteen Saints are the faith of the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Fathers are the state religion of the Little United Kingdom.

The Notre Dame is the original worship of the Snowfield Alliance. They firmly believe that there is an immortal Mary who walks in the world and brings wisdom and the gospel to the world.

As for the Highland Republic, they have mixed beliefs, they believe in a little bit of everything, and they don't believe in anything.

There is not much difference between the economy and when Luden left.

Technology has stepped back a bit.

Hundreds of years ago, Luden saved airships, machine guns, and large steam engines.

If there was oil, Luden would have hand rubbed the engine!

With Luden's death, the cross-age products were destroyed by Luden's successors.

The skilled dwarf artisan, after being forgiven by the queen, obtained a piece of free land, far away from the war and chaos of human civilization.

In this era, although steam engines are used, their utilization efficiency is not as high as that of the past, and there is a lot of room for improvement.

The most popular weapons now are muskets and artillery.

Although there are revolvers, they are luxury items.

Hearing the sound of the copper bell of the carriage, Lu Deng came back to his senses, and he had arrived at the station.

After swiping the monthly card, Lu Deng got off the car, walked half a block, and returned to the orphanage.

According to the usual habit, Luden spent a simple afternoon with the children, and read a book alone in the house at night.

That night, it rained heavily.

Listening to the sound of violent rain outside the window, Luden blows out the kerosene lamp and prepares to fall asleep.

"Boom boom boom——"

The anxious knock on the door broke the peaceful life of the orphanage.

Sister Feci opened the door, and there stood a detective in a raincoat outside, with an angry face and a loud voice, yelling,
"Call out your dean! Also, say! Where is he in the afternoon and evening?!"

Sister Feci trembled and said,
"In the orphanage, the dean didn't go out, the Holy Father, I'm telling the truth!"

"Then go and call him down!"

Inspector Lei murmured with a gloomy face,
"Something happened."

A few minutes later, fully dressed Luden calmly walked down the stairs, and Inspector Lei threw a leather raincoat casually.

"Put on and go!"

Only Sister Fei Xi, who looked dazed and a little frightened, kept praying outside the thunder and rain.

She knew that the detective did not come to arrest Mr. Luden.

The dean is from Shenbang, if the detective wanted to arrest him, he would have rushed upstairs to arrest him, let alone prepare a raincoat for the dean.

Even so, going out to run errands on a night of inclement weather like this is extremely risky.

Looking at the back of Luden leaving, Sister Fei Xi silently said in her heart,
"May the Holy Father bless you, Mr. Luden!"

After Detective Lei went out, Lu Deng got into the carriage.

"It's dead again."

Detective Lei's face was extremely gloomy, and he cursed and said,

"This damn weather, it's endless, damn it!"

From Detective Lei, Lu Deng learned about the situation.

An alcoholic reported a dead body found in an alleyway vomiting.

When the drunkard reported the crime, Detective Lei happened to be playing cards in the security team, and immediately led his brothers to fuck the guy, and the soldiers split into two groups.

A team of people went to the scene to check for clues, and he went straight to the orphanage, looking for Luden.

Detective Lei came to Lu Deng for two reasons.

First of all, he still suspects that Luden is the murderer, at least he has not completely ruled out this possibility.

Not long after receiving the report, if Lu Deng is really the murderer, Detective Lei can catch Lu Deng by surprise.

Sister Fish's words provided Luden with an alibi.

Of course, Luden may not be the executor, maybe the planner or something behind the scenes.

Second, if Luden had nothing to do with the case.

Detective Ray needs his help.

Last time, Luden had already proved his talent.

Capturing a lunatic like Jack the Ripper requires a talent like Luden!
On the long street at night, the carriages with kerosene lamps were running fast, and the car marks left by them were quickly washed away by the rain.

When we arrived at the scene, it was pitch black, and we couldn't see our fingers. We could only hear the clamor of the rainstorm.

Members of the security team took out kerosene lamps, while Inspector Lei took out a long tube-like thing, shining a warm light.

Luden was a little curious,

"This is?"

"flashlight."

At other times, Inspector Lei would show off this treasure.

At this time, he was not in the mood, and just explained casually,
"It's the same principle as Shenbang's street lamps. I don't know what's going on. It's very expensive."

Luden: .
The nuclear radiation lamp belongs to yes.

Lu Deng silently stayed away from Inspector Lei, the source of pollution.

Borrowing the light and quickly scanning the scene, Luden came to a bold conclusion,

"This guy is out of the hospital!"
