Chapter 126 The Identity of the Prayer Chamber of Commerce

All the businessmen present in the conference room have left.

At this moment, another person's voice actually appeared in the room where Ige was supposed to be alone? !

Eagle's spirit suddenly became tense.

He didn't reply to the voice behind him.

Let the conference room fall into dead silence again.

At the same time, count silently in your mind:

three two
One!

When the time was up, he suddenly exerted force, leaned forward, and then turned around quickly.

The right fist was wrapped in a cold silver-white light and blasted violently in the direction of the sound!
clang--

next second.

The terrible sound of gold and iron echoed.

Ige's unstoppable fist was like hitting an indestructible iron wall.

The powerful force of the shock forced him to retreat to the edge of the heavy oak table.

Almost unsteady on his feet.

And there was such intense pain in my right arm that I almost couldn't control myself and wanted to cry out!

With just one move, Iger understood that the opponent was stronger than him.

He raised his head and finally saw clearly the true face of the person coming.

Tall figure, thick black hair, stern face.

There was also a terrifying scar on the man's face that circled like an earthworm.

That unabashedly powerful aura seemed to be a warning to anyone who dared to look into his sharp eyes.

Eagle's eyes fell on the man's retracted left hand.

Just now, my right fist should have collided with his left fist.

The man in front of him punched with his left hand while holding a cloth bag in his right hand, but he still suppressed his attack lightly.

Moreover, he had appeared behind him without anyone noticing before.

When Ige thought of this, fear flashed across his eyes.

If this unknown person can come and go freely even in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion, then there is probably no place in the entire "Talek" that he cannot sneak into except the Temple of the Ceremony of Black Clothes.

When did someone so powerful appear in "Talek"?

As if he noticed Ige's vigilance, the burly man grinned:
"Don't be nervous, Lord City Lord, I don't mean any harm."

"I'm here to establish friendship with you."

Although his tone was quite gentle, the smile that touched the scars on his face made it look even more ferocious.

When Ige heard this, his eyes narrowed and he asked:
"Could it be that your way of maintaining friendship is to sneak into other people's places and do some shameful things?"

The burly man chuckled:
"There is nothing I can do, Lord City Lord."

"Who makes you and your guards so vigilant, and I am in a hurry?"

Facing the powerful uninvited guest, Ige had calmed down at this time.

On the one hand, if the other party wants to take action, they can attack directly when they sneaked behind him just now.

There is no need to go out of your way to talk to him like this.

On the other hand, it is also the most critical point.

He is an apostle!

His identity means that he doesn't have to panic when facing any powerful enemy.

No matter how powerful a mortal is, he is still just a mortal.

Facing the wrath of the gods, they are destined to be as weak as ants.

And he is the container of the greatest god!

On the other hand, this may be the fundamental reason why the burly man did not take action directly.

After all, in the "Kingdom of Spruit", the lords of a city are basically high-level priests.

Although "Taleq" has not been officially recognized as a city, anyone who has stayed here for more than half a day can understand that except for the population, "Taleq" may be slightly deficient in other aspects. Meets or even exceeds the basic standards of "city".

A person who can control a city like "Talek" has a high probability of being an apostle with a high status if the church to which he is affiliated is not well-known.

In fact, the rumors in the city that "Priest Ige is actually an apostle" have not stopped since Ige ascended the position of city lord.

Ige has also heard of such rumors, but he neither admits nor denies them.

You don’t admit it because it’s not necessary, and you don’t deny it because it’s not necessary.

But no matter what, as the shepherd of the great God of Ceremony, Igor must not allow a completely uncontrolled suspicious person to roam freely in the most important religious property of the Black Ceremony, the Talek.

"Since you said you are here to make friends, can you at least reveal your identity first?"

"I don't think any decent gentleman would make friends with a person who hides his face."

The burly man listened to Ige's neither humble nor arrogant tone, and glanced with interest at the face of the "Talek" city lord in front of him with some disturbing characteristics hidden in the vicissitudes of life, and then answered readily:

"Of course, Lord City Lord."

"As I said before, I'm here to make friends with you and the Gift of Black."

"My name is 'Fifth Light'."

"I'm from the Praying Sun Chamber of Commerce."

Eagle frowned.

Another person from the Sun Prayer Chamber of Commerce.

Weird name, very powerful.

"I think you should be more than just a 'guest' member, right?"

The familiarity with the Chamber of Commerce in Ige's tone made Fifth Light put away the faint smile that always hung on its face.

Sure enough, "ordinary people" can only be used as consumables like "travelers".

They have no awareness of their great mission, and they have no will to sacrifice themselves for the noble mission of freedom for all mankind.

Even if there are "debts to pay," no secrets can be kept.

But soon, the freehand smile returned to Fifth Light's face.

Anyway, he and other senior officials in the Chamber of Commerce have never trusted "ordinary people".

"You are right, Lord City Lord."

"I'm not a 'guest'."

"But he is a member of the 'Boundary Stone' level of the Prayer for the Sun Chamber of Commerce."

"Boundary stone?" Ige chewed on these two words, vaguely aware that there was some deep meaning behind it, but it was difficult to analyze it based on the current information alone.

"Yes, Lord City Lord, I am a boundary stone of the Chamber of Commerce."

"And my purpose of coming here is to unite with you and the black-clothed gift behind you."

The Fifth Light's tone became solemn at this time, as if to express sincerity.

When Ige heard this, his expression did not change:
"Oh? What makes you think that I will join forces with an organization that sells moongrass in my city and sends people to attack me with guns?"

The Fifth Light waved his hand, as if chatting with an old friend:
"Lord City Lord, you have misunderstood our Chamber of Commerce."

"We are not, uh, a terrorist organization like Circle of Nature."

"Our Prayer Chamber of Commerce, as the name shows, is essentially a 'chamber of commerce'."

“The purpose of everything we do is to make money.”

"Although we sell moongrass, disrupt the order of the city, and kill people who stand in the way."

"But we are a purely good chamber of commerce!" Iger did not expect that the other party would also mention the familiar name "Natural Circle".

Ever since the 'Night Beast Invasion', he had sent people to inquire about the Circle of Nature.

In the end, little was gained.

I only learned the specious news that "The Circle of Nature has been active in the Delaware Forest" from the Church of the Balance.

It seems that Fifth Light wants to show off the intelligence capabilities of the Praying Sun Chamber of Commerce.

This means that they not only know that the gift of black clothes has been in contact with the circle of nature, but also know the information about the circle of nature.

However, Ige did not dwell on this point, because there is a more important question:
"Since you said you only care about making money."

"Then what is the purpose of your cooperation with the Gift of Black?"

As he spoke, a mocking smile appeared on Ige's face:

"You're not going to tell me that it's so that you can continue to sell moongrass in Tarek, are you?"

The Fifth Light shook his head and said bluntly:

"If the Black Gift is unable to eliminate the travelers we send, then the Chamber of Commerce will naturally continue to sell the Mystic Moon Grass."

"But now that the Black Gift has this ability, of course we can start real cooperation."

"After all, both the Chamber of Commerce and the Ceremony in Black have a common enemy."

Ige's expression changed:
"A common enemy?"

The Fifth Light laughed:
"Of course he is the God of Order!"

"Who doesn't resent this cruel and greedy god?"

Ige's expression condensed.

The man in front of him was far more arrogant than he imagined.

In his eyes, the powerful god who ruled the entire continent seemed to be an unpopular human tyrant.

"We, the Ceremony in Black, are a force under the great God of Ceremony."

"Also a member of the God of Order."

"You said such outrageous things, do you think I will support you?"

The fifth light glanced at the black-robed priest steadily, and then opened his mouth again, the joke in his smile was undisguised:

"If you say yes, then so be it."

"However, you may not have received specific information about the priest sent to Tarek by the God of Order, right?"

"I think if you heard this, you might change your mind."

Eagle was startled.

As soon as he learned about the so-called "pastor" from York and Jared, he immediately went to Pastor Donahue of the Balance Church for confirmation.

The other party then used divine magic to contact a certain church high-level official, and gave Yig the news that there was indeed a priest of the God of Order heading north from the "Evergreen Heart".

However, Pastor Donahue did not provide any other information.

It is not known what the priest’s name was, whether the purpose of this trip was “Tareq”, etc.

Ige could only put this matter aside for now.

In the final analysis, even if the Tianping Church concealed some information from him, there was nothing he could do about it.

After all, the alliance between the two churches was nominally established to "fight against cult organizations."

Such a sensitive matter as inquiring about the whereabouts of the cleric of the God of Order is already far beyond the limit.

From "Evergreen Heart" to "Talek", even with the help of the God of Order's famous magical "pathway", it will take at least more than a month.

At this point, it is impossible for the priest to reach "Beerstadt".

With the current intelligence power of Black Clothes Ceremony, it is somewhat overestimating one's ability to inquire about news outside the northern border.

But the Fifth Light now says that the Prayer for the Sun Chamber of Commerce knows the specific situation of the priest of the God of Order?

Seeing Igor's noncommittal look, the Fifth Light didn't care. Instead, he asked Iger a question:
"Lord City Lord, have you heard of 'Ball Spruit'?"

Ige raised his eyebrows:
"You mean the king's brother?"

The fifth light nodded:
"You couldn't have heard better of him."

"The priest of the God of Order came here for Burr Spruit, the king's youngest brother and a nobleman of the Spruit family."

"Ball Spruit." Iger muttered the name, and then suddenly realized:
"You mean!"

"I think you may have guessed it." The Fifth Light smiled, as if it was just a trivial matter, "The king's last brother should also have his own fief!"

"Before going to the fiefdom, the king must let someone come and see it first."

"Obviously, it is said that he is here to fill the position of secretary that Tarek lacks."

Ige's expression became serious at this time.

The king has three younger brothers in total. The other two older brothers have been enfeoffed and left the "Evergreen Heart".

Therefore, it was only normal that his last brother was now old enough to have his own fiefdom.

Considering that the land in the Evergreen Plains basically has owners, and only a few scattered towns remain, it is reasonable for the king to entrust his younger brother to a place outside the Evergreen Plains.

But how could it be the North?

The Mansunar River Basin in the south of the kingdom and bordering the "Stefanik Holy Federation" has fertile land and developed towns. It is such an obvious good place.

There are also many cities with rich heritage on the Tiftir Grassland in the eastern part of the kingdom.

Why did the king choose the northern border?

In fact, it is not a big deal for ordinary nobles to be sent to the Northern Territory. The ancestors of the owner of "Tarantu", Earl Manteton, were sealed to the Northern Territory because of their military exploits in the Final Battle.

But the situation with Burl Spruit was completely different.

He is the king's younger brother.

Once he holds a fief, his title is "Grand Duke".

In addition to Archduke Eden Saxton of "Belstad", the North will usher in a second Grand Duke!
As the most hostile place in the kingdom, the North has always had a strong independence.

As for the successive Grand Dukes of "Beerstadt", who have the highest titles in the entire Northern Territory, they rarely interfere in the internal affairs of other cities in the Northern Territory.

However, many towns in the north are located in high mountains, and the roads are already rugged and difficult to navigate.

Were it not for the grace of the gods, most of the northern towns would never have been founded in the first place.

Even if the Grand Duke of "Belstadt" wanted to interfere in the affairs of other towns, it would be very difficult from the perspective of the environment and the gods.

The towns that occupy the majority of the northern border and have no connection with trade have always focused only on themselves and surrounding forces.

Fighting and peace will have limited impact.

Although the kingdom will send a secretary, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance.

I have never heard of any place in the north where the clerk holds the actual power of the city.

But now, there will be a second Grand Duke in the North.

Moreover, this Grand Duke is also the king's younger brother and a believer in the God of Order.

It was one thing to fight within the North, but it was another thing now that the king had put his hand in it.

No one knows how far this matter will develop in the end.

If it ends up being like many cities on the Evergreen Plains, where the city lord can be abolished or established by the clerk, then absolutely no force in the north will agree to it.

As far as Ige himself is concerned, if "Talek" is taken a fancy by the king's "scribe" and is included in his younger brother's territory, it will be even more troublesome.

but
"But with all due respect, Mr. Fifth Light, what does this have to do with your Sun-Praying Chamber of Commerce?"

"Even if what you said is true, to deal with this matter, I should go to Belstad to find Archduke Eden."

The Fifth Light seemed to know that Igor would ask such a question, and smiled slyly:
"You're right."

"But from the beginning, Archduke Iden has been our employer and ally."
