The Second Coming of the Myth: I have obtained the blood of the Candle Dragon
Chapter 156 Export and Diplomacy
Chapter 156 Export and Diplomacy
Half an hour later, Su Lin sat on the sofa panting and took a sip of herbal tea.
"How did you determine the location of my space?"
Su Lin turned to look at Lu Zhixue. The competition just now was not the beating he had expected. Although he believed that his overall ability and skills were higher than Lu Zhixue's, in terms of competition alone, they ended in a tie.
Lu Zhixue could always judge the release trajectory of his spatial skills. Even if he used spatial reconstruction to shift his position, Lu Zhixue could catch it immediately. His abnormal neural reflexes made Su Lin suspect that all his tactics had been seen through.
"It's nothing. I just noticed it the moment it appeared and was able to react."
Lu Zhixue sat next to Su Lin and took a sip of the energy drink taken out of the storage space.
"Just like that?"
Su Lin was a little depressed. Could it be that the woman next to her relied on intuition when fighting?
"It's that simple."
Lu Zhixue nodded casually.
Su Lin became even more depressed. It seemed that he would have to be wary of opponents like Lu Zhixue in the future. Facing this type of enemy, using fancy abilities might not be enough to defeat them.
You must have frontal lethality to defeat it, otherwise once the opponent recovers, you will be the one to suffer.
Of course, he would not use all means against his friends during the competition. For example, he did not use the newly acquired box against Lu Zhixue, but he felt that with Lu Zhixue's keen wild intuition, he might be able to avoid the location where the trap box was set. indefinite.
But if he has means, it won't work. Lu Zhixue can't say that he will definitely use his full strength. If we really want to compete, I'm afraid it can only be in the arena of space.
After all, when fighting there, you don't have to worry about the opponent dying. You can just give it a try without any scruples.
"The data is available, which is enough to develop an initial combat model. The product will be put on the assembly line next month."
Su Lin was in a good mood. The battle data between him and Lu Zhixue was very useful, especially since he had preset the machine to observe Lu Zhixue's battle mode, and he was just a 'flashy' imaginary enemy.
Nightmare Unit No. [-] mainly focuses on melee combat capabilities, focusing on physical damage. Su Lin did not design any ability for it to attack weird creatures, because that would require additional consumption of nightmare fuel.
Moreover, the imaginary enemies of Nightmare Unit-[-] have never been monsters, but human beings. No matter how powerful the clergy of the Eternal Night Church are, they are still human beings, and the destruction of the physical body means death.
In essence, the Nightmare Unit [-] is a machine that exists for human war, and for the weird aspect, the Eternal Night Church's own priests are enough.
"Why does it feel like what we are doing now is like villains?"
Lu Zhixue said with a smile.
She understood Su Lin's intention. The country of Nim only needed to fool a few surrounding parishes to develop with peace of mind, and there was no need to go to the Yongye Church in person.
As a production site of mysterious scientific machines, Nim Country only needs to engage in diplomacy and secretly transport nightmare machines to the outside world. The war will naturally start by others. They only need to make war fortune and watch the internal collapse of the Evernight Church. good.
"What are you talking about? We are the divine envoys of the Light Religion, and we want to bring light to the world."
Su Lin raised the corners of his lips and took a sip of herbal tea, "Yong Ye's rule cannot last long. I want the sun to rise."
…………
The cold winter wind blew across the wilderness, and in the darkness and silence, horse-drawn carriages pulling geothermal ore were parked on the outskirts.
An old man wearing a white robe stood there, his face seemed a bit unhappy, and there was a nun standing next to him. She lowered her eyebrows and nodded, looking very young.
"Shirley, you are half an hour later than the agreed time."
The old man took out a pocket watch from his chest. This kind of pocket watch is well made. The pointer will drive the wheel below, which will affect the small bumps on the periphery of the mechanism. The user only needs to touch the bumps on the periphery to know the current time. .
In the dark, time will be ignored by many people, and only some powerful people will pay more attention to it. On the other hand, carrying a pocket watch with you has become a symbol of status.
This is the case with Bishop Neo. In fact, he is not that busy, but he always likes to caress the pocket watch, as if he is caressing his lover's skin.
"The delivery volume this time is relatively large, so it is a little slow. Please forgive me, Bishop Neo."
Lu Zhixue was wearing a nun's uniform and said with her head lowered. She could not raise her head, otherwise the other party would see her eyes glowing scarlet, containing murderous intent.
"Oh? Is it true, as the boy from the Silvis family said, that the supply of geothermal ore will be much larger this time?"
The unhappiness in Bishop Neo's heart was swept away. He looked at the vehicles in the dark. Although he couldn't see clearly, his good hearing allowed him to judge that the number of convoys was indeed larger than before, even twice as many.
"The quantity delivered in the autumn is one hundred tons of geothermal ore. This time King Subai will deliver two hundred tons of geothermal ore to show his respect for you and thank you for taking care of the Silvis family over the years."
Standing next to Lu Zhixue was a man wearing a cloak and a black hood. He also lowered his eyebrows and nodded, as if he was very respectful.
"Hahaha, he is really a sensible boy. When you go back, tell him that he can be his king with peace of mind in the past few years."
Bishop Neo is in a good mood. He controls the country of Nimes. The church naturally knows it and will set a quota for him.
In other words, in the ruling system of the Eternal Night Church, this is called theocratic tax. 70% of the income of the Nim Kingdom should be turned over to the church. In recent years, it has become a unified collection of geothermal ore by default.
According to the standards of previous years, as long as the Diocese of Rafaam records on the bill that the income from Nimes is no less than two hundred tons of geothermal ore every year, it will be enough. If there is more, then Bishop Neo will pocket it.
In recent years, the country of Nimes has performed well. It can supply 400 tons of geothermal ore almost every year. Bishop Neo can make half of the profits from it, and the rest can be left to the upper levels of the church.
This time, the Nim Kingdom was even more impressive. It only brought him two hundred tons of geothermal ore in one winter season. This was a considerable amount of wealth, enough for him to spend a lot of time in the social circle.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nim Kingdom couldn't fully exploit its wealth, and that the Silvis family had indeed ruled for too long, he would have wanted the boy named Su Bai to work for another lifetime.
However, in order to avoid the trouble caused by the long-term rule of one family and the possible negative consequences of tyranny oppressing the people of Nim, Bishop Neo was prepared to replace Su Bai in the next year.
After all, he thinks that it is a good thing that his income can increase, but Su Bai's squeezing of the people is likely to cause the country of Nim to fall below the population red line. If there is a problem with this intangible cultural heritage in his hands, the church will also ask questions. Blame yourself.
In fact, Bishop Neo never imagined that the productivity of Nim Country has undergone earth-shaking changes. Two hundred tons of geothermal ore is only the output of the current mining area in two days.
All professions have been reformed, and the national happiness of Nim has skyrocketed. There is no oppression at all.
"Yes, I will inform him. I believe he will be very happy when he learns the news."
Lu Zhixue lowered his eyebrows and nodded.
"According to the usual practice, he should come to visit me during his first handover after taking office. Why didn't he come?"
Bishop Neo thought of something, "I am quite interested in that young boy."
"What a pity. Your Majesty has been feeling cold recently. He was afraid of losing his manners in front of the Bishop, so he didn't come here to see the Bishop's grace. His Majesty was coughing up blood in bed with regret."
The hooded man in black next to Lu Zhixue said.
"This is?"
Only then did Bishop Neo realize that the hooded man was not from their church, and they had only sent Sister Shirley as an insider in Nim.
The man in black stood up straight and removed the hood on his head, revealing a handsome face.
"The financial officer of Nim Country, it is an honor to meet the Bishop."
Su Lin performed a standard etiquette.
"Oh, that's it. When you go back, tell your king to work hard and I won't treat him badly."
Bishop Neo held the list of accounts in his hand and stroked the words on it. His mood was getting better and better, and he didn't care about the messy things inside Nim Country at all.
After he counted the accounts, he was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at where Lu Zhixue was. "By the way, Shirley, the religious church has commended you, and you will be commended next month." I have been promoted to Bishop in White and may be transferred from here, so you need to make preparations for leaving first."
Bishop Neo was also quite puzzled by this matter. He also received the news the day before yesterday. Obviously he had not commended the achievements of the nun responsible for the connection with Nimes, but the religious church had issued a commendation document.
He also wrote in the letter that Sister Shirley will be promoted. This is a pre-notification letter. The church has not yet made arrangements for which diocese Shirley will go to, but it seems to be a certainty that she will become a white bishop. .
The other party is about to become a bishop in white at the same level as himself. Of course, Bishop Neo can no longer harass him due to his authority, and he must be notified. Otherwise, when the order from the church's upper echelon comes down, Sister Shirley will have to bear the responsibility no longer with him.
"Thank you Bishop Neo for the notice. I will prepare to leave in advance."
Lu Zhixue said with a smile.
Of course she would not be promoted by the Eternal Night Church for no reason. All these things come at a price.
Su Lin paid [-] tons of geothermal ore and a set of art-grade Shia alloy armor to bribe an elder of a theocratic family and let him hold meetings in the Archdiocese of Nancy, the diocese that governs this southern region. He opened his mouth and promoted Lu Zhixue.
Lu Zhixue's full name in this world is Shirley Lu Osman. The Lu Osman family used to be a powerful theocratic family, but now it has declined, and only some old guys in the circle still remember it.
This time, Su Lin used Bishop Nila's family to get Lu Zhixue in touch with the theocratic family of the Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Nancy. The elder liked art works of armor and weapons, so Su Lin joined him. Well, I built a set for him, and with a large amount of geothermal ore, the clan elder just called Lu Zhixue 'niece'.
Things went smoothly. It is not difficult for a cardinal's family to appoint and promote a highly qualified nun in their own territory. What's more, Lu Zhixue himself comes from a theocratic family, which is in line with the politics of the people promoted by the Yongye Church. correct'
No, Lu Zhixue's promotion notice will arrive in a few days, but it's just that he hasn't decided where to appoint him yet.
The promotion system of the Eternal Night Church is very simple. Generally speaking, the quotas for white bishops and cardinals are fixed. After all, the number of dioceses has been fixed. Even if additional clergy are promoted, they will have to Go to the area you manage.
Generally speaking, the promotion of priests to bishops is decided at the annual meetings of major dioceses. The cardinals of the Eternal Night Church will first review the vacancies in major dioceses this year, and then confirm and approve the quotas. Leave it to the diocese below to make specific selections.
For example, if the bishops of three dioceses passed away this year, then there will be three promotion places, which are usually allocated by each archdiocese. For example, there is a vacancy in the Diocese of Nancy. Who will take this position? It is the Diocese of Nancy. The cardinal has the final say.
There is currently no vacancy in the Archdiocese of Nancy, but Lu Zhixue has still been promoted. This is another special situation.
In the promotion system of Yongye Church, in addition to being promoted to a bishop to manage a diocese, there are also situations where there is no jurisdiction after promotion. This situation is relatively rare, or the big bosses who decide the personnel promotion schedule have made a mistake. Or it was a position that some powerful families took first in order to gild young people.
For example, some ancient theocratic families let their children receive the title of bishop first. In fact, they did not go to govern any place, but continued to study in the seminary, and then followed the central boss of the Evernight Church as a secretary or something.
Lu Zhixue obviously did not fall into this situation. The money she spent was not enough to get her to the center, and the family they were looking for did not have such great energy.
Su Lin asked Lu Zhixue to inquire about the information about the Archdiocese of Nancy. The old bishop of Lucullian Diocese in the north of the archdiocese was old and had mentioned to the superiors several times that he wanted to retire, but he had not yet decided on a suitable position. The matter was temporarily shelved.
Now that Lu Zhixue has been promoted to Bishop in White, the people above should want her to take over from the old bishop of Lucalien Diocese, but something will happen unexpectedly, and Lu Zhixue will not go to Lucalien Diocese.
Because Bishop Neo will die in a few days, Lu Zhixue will naturally become the bishop of the Lafam diocese after his death.
Because she has working experience in the Lafayam Diocese, she is naturally the most suitable candidate after the old bishop dies. As for the vacancies in Lucullian Diocese, the old bishop who wants to retire can only wait a little longer. Young people are anxious to get to the top.
Su Lin has already made arrangements for Bishop Neo, which is absolutely invisible to the other party's level. He will die peacefully in a few days, and outsiders will only think that he has died.
Bishop Neo himself is over 100 years old. As an extraordinary person, his conduct is very ordinary. It was only through the care of his elders that he took the position of bishop at the age of 70. He refused to leave such a good place in the Diocese of Lafayam.
At his age, extraordinary strength cannot be mastered, and death from old age is normal.
As for some suspicious traces, they would naturally be erased by the secretary next to Bishop Neo.
Yes, just yesterday, Bishop Neo's secretary had been replaced by Su Lin. The body was still that of the original nun, but the soul had been replaced by Su Liu'er.
Su Liuer's power in this world is very strong. She seems to be very suitable for the environment here. In a few months, her soul body has more than doubled in strength. It is not difficult to control a person's body using the secret technique of soul cultivation.
As for the original nun's soul, it was naturally erased by Su Lin. As Bishop Neo's deputy, this nun looked young, but she had done a lot of dirty things, so he didn't have any burden to do it.
In Su Lin's opinion, there are still some loopholes in Su Liuer's control over people's bodies, but because there is no sunlight in this world, it is difficult to observe what is wrong with people in the dark, and those loopholes are not so obvious.
And without the level of a stranger in his thirties or forties, Su Lin felt that it was difficult to see Su Liuer's abnormality at a glance in the dark.
Rafam Parish is a small place and there is no such expert at all. There is still a possibility that the super strong people at the center of the Evernight Church can see the flaws, but they will not come here.
As long as they complete the transfer of power in the Lafaam Diocese this month, the nun controlled by Su Liuer will disappear from the world. He can think of a lot of reasons for accidental death.
…………
Bishop Neo died, having nightmares for days and dying in endless pain.
But at the moment before he died, he didn't know what he saw, and his expression became particularly happy and peaceful, just like a centenarian dying in front of his bed, surrounded by his descendants.
The death knell rang in Lafayam Parish, and the clergy gathered in the church to pray, but few people really felt sad. Most just felt that this old thing was finally dead.
People from the Nancy Archdiocese's Inquisition Bureau came here, and after investigation, they concluded that Bishop Neo was haggard and old, so he fell asleep in bed, which was considered a natural death.
The church's personnel appointments came quickly. On the third day after Bishop Neo's death, Lu Zhixue took office and became the actual leader of the Lafam Diocese.
At this point, Su Lin's internal corrosion plan has been successful in the first step.
The fall of Lafayam Parish into their hands means that they can become more unscrupulous in their industrialization and other actions in Nimes.
Anyway, the upper echelons of the church don't pay much attention to the Nim Kingdom. The resources that the Nim Kingdom provides each year are only a small amount for the church, so they can just provide them as usual. Everything is normal on the surface.
Because the Heresy Tribunal of the Eternal Night Church was unexpectedly easy to fool, Su Lin simply did not let Su Liuer come back and stayed with Lu Zhixue to help her handle official duties, because Lu Zhixue was really not good at this.
At the same time, Su Liuer also took on Lu Zhixue's original work, responsible for communicating with the Nim Kingdom and running errands.
As a bishop, it was obviously inconvenient for Lu Zhixue to travel to Nim Kingdom more often, which made her often complain.
Su Lin carried out industrial development with great fanfare in Nimes, using almost all the resources in this three-thirds of an acre of land.Nowadays, major factories are working hard to process Shia alloy and make raw materials for nightmare machinery for him. These will be important materials for them to leverage the Church of Eternal Night.
After taking care of the Lafaam diocese that controls the Nimes country, Su Lin also needs to completely take down the diocese controlled by Bishop Nila in the south, because it is also close to the Nimes country. If he makes any big move, the people there may Will notice.
Su Lin's biggest problem now is the lack of manpower, the kind of manpower that can be independent and can be trusted absolutely.
This is the disadvantage of the Shanhai Game camp. There are only two of them, and there are only three including Su Liuer. Therefore, they do not have enough people to control the core area.
In the case of insufficient manpower, he can only consider asking outsiders to help. If he wants to lock outsiders into his camp, he must give the other party absolute benefits.
Before that, he needs to show his strength and the benefits he can bring to the other party.
So his nightmare machine diplomacy plan is about to start, and the first batch of nightmare machines will be put into the market.
Soon, spring began, and Nimes had another bumper harvest. People were immersed in joy, and miners and factory workers were full of motivation because His Majesty the King gave them another salary.
People cheered when His Majesty the King walked through the streets, but no one knew that His Majesty the King was just a puppet. It was a puppet made by Su Lin. He could only nod and smile mechanically and say "Thank you for your hard work." The days will get better and better. The better comes'
And he himself is no longer in Nim Country.
After the beginning of spring, at some unknown time, on the territory of the Evernight Church, a new star appeared in the theocratic circle.
It was a young black-haired man who called himself Su Lin Chaos. It is said that the Chaos family is a declining theocratic family, and he is the eldest son in the family.
The ancestors of the Chaos family had a cardinal, but he later declined and was no longer in the power circle of the Eternal Night Church. He turned to business and accumulated a lot of wealth in recent years.
Because he has always kept God's teachings in mind, in Su Lin's generation, the family hopes that he can re-enter the theocratic circle and become a priest or even a bishop.
This Su Lin Chaos went to various social occasions, spent money like water, and got acquainted with a group of young children from theocratic families, and quickly gained a certain reputation in the circle.
Many ladies from the theocratic families are very curious about him. There are all kinds of rumors about Su Lin, but most of them say that he is very handsome.
As long as you touch that handsome face with your hands once, you will never forget that touch again. Its handsome appearance, reconstructed in your mind through touch, can be called a creation of God.
Some people were curious to check Su Lin's background and identity, and found that there was indeed a family like Chaos. This family had indeed declined for a long time, and was now engaged in the salt and iron business. They asked the old housekeeper of the Chaos family, and the old housekeeper also expressed his feelings towards Su. Young Master Lin praised him very much.
In just one month, Su Lin's name spread throughout the southern half of Yongye Church, and he was invited to various high-society social salons.
Because this young master of the Chaos family is really lovable, humorous, and generous. He can handle both male and female guests very well and make everyone laugh.
Su Lin was living a cool life outside, but the bill sent back to Nim made Lu Zhixue tremble with fear.
The citizens of Nimes are still shouting long live His Majesty the King, but they don’t know that His Majesty the King is eating and drinking outside with public funds. The consumption of a banquet is equivalent to the productivity of the citizens of Nimes for a day.
It can be said that Nim Country has almost no savings now, and all the value produced has been consumed by Su Lin outside.
He exported grain in exchange for common currency. Except for the geothermal ore that bought Lu Zhixue the position of bishop, the rest was exchanged for Shia gold. The Shia alloy produced in Nim was exported and made into various products. The value of handicrafts has more than doubled.
People in this world also use jewelry, such as the Xia mine gold jewelry previously produced by Bishop Nila's family, but Su Lin felt that they had found the wrong breakthrough.
In a world invisible to everyone, most features such as decorative clothing can only be judged by touch. The touch of Shia gold is not very good. Even if it is polished carefully, there will be a slight frosted feeling.
But his Shia alloy is different. It is not only strong but also smooth. It can make some high-end practical ornaments and is very popular among theocratic families.
For example, the statue of the God of Eternal Night, the statue of a naked woman, the Shia alloy toilet set, etc...
Well, the classification seems a bit strange, but in Su Lin's opinion, they are all similar crafts. Shia alloy has high density and excellent ductility. This kind of craft can be made with molds, and it can be sold as long as it is polished and polished later. .
Those theocratic families love these handicrafts very much, especially the Shia alloy toilet set, which makes them feel that their toilet experience has improved by more than one level.
The Yongye Church has a currency system based on gold, silver and copper coins. One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins and one hundred copper coins. One gold coin can buy about 1 ton of geothermal ore on the territory of the Yongye Church.
Su Lin processes and produces a set of Shia alloy toilets at a cost of about 0.5 gold coins. When sold to the Theocratic Family, the price starts at 100 gold coins.
Well, probably only 20000% profit, not much.
He relies on all kinds of industrially produced new gadgets to harvest the rich people of Yongye Church, and those people still think it is worth it. At present, the Xia alloy toilet set has been sold at a sky-high price, and they have been sold out. Goods.
All major theocratic families are proud to have toilet sets, and they often bring friends who don't have toilet sets to visit their homes to experience them.
Su Lin didn't know why these people were so obsessed with toilet suits. At first, he just thought that people here were too unhygienic when going to the toilet, even the theocratic nobles, so he put together a set and prepared to slowly sell it to the country. Promote popularization and avoid the situation where urination and defecation are everywhere in the country.
As a result, the toilet set became unexpectedly popular after its launch, and its sales far exceeded the statue of the Eternal Night Church Goddess that he personally sculpted and designed...
Su Lin made a fortune relying on these things, so he was able to get along like a fish in the territory of Yongye Church. He used money to clear the way for everyone he met. Who wouldn't like him?
The country of Nim currently trades with foreign countries through Nila's line, and its daily net profit is more than 2000 gold coins, and Bishop Nila can extract 5% of the 'tariff' from it.
Well, Bishop Nila shut up firmly. It wasn't that she didn't want to denounce Bishop Shirley for cooperating with heretics, but the country of Nim gave too much.
Su Lin held banquets on the grounds of Yongye Church every day or went to other people's banquets. When he visited the ancient theocratic families, he would bring along corresponding handicrafts as they liked.
This saved their expenses in a disguised way, because those handicrafts were not valuable to the Nim Kingdom, but in the eyes of the theocratic nobles, they were high-end novelties, which were far more appetizing to them than giving them money directly.
In this way, Su Lin quickly established his own personality within the Yongye Church.
A humorous, spendthrift, and polite heir to a theocratic family. His family ancestors also produced important figures, but now they have declined and turned to business.
After his personality is established, he will naturally attract the attention of interested people, especially those ancient families with keen sense of smell, who will notice the significance of the handicrafts he gives as gifts.
Many nobles would only sigh at how exquisite those handicrafts were, how comfortable the Shia alloy toilet was to sit on, and how it made them lose weight when excreting.
But most people ignore the industrial level behind these handicrafts.
The elders in the ancient theocratic families noticed this. They believed that this was not the industrial technology recognized by the Eternal Night Church today, and powerful industrial technology seemed to be able to do more than just make these decorations.
Their information-gathering ability is very powerful, and they quickly obtained information related to these artifacts. The earliest appearance of this type of artifacts was in the Archdiocese of Nancy, and the cardinal's family received a gift.
It is said that the gift was a set of exquisite armor and came with an exquisite knight's sword.
This further confirmed the thoughts of the clan elders. They did not care about the high artistic value of these handicrafts. They only cared about whether this technology could be used in the field of weapons. The answer was yes.
Su Lin, who was hanging around in the upper class society, was like being in the eye of a storm, being stared at by many pairs of eyes. Although there was no evidence and the source could not be found, they all believed that the source of those handicrafts was related to Su Lin.
Someone went to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Chaos family, only to find that the Chaos family was indeed only engaged in the salt and iron business and had no other income.
But this doesn't make sense, because Su Lin spends money like water in the theocratic circle, and his expenses are beyond the support of the Chaos family.
Each major family had their own thoughts, but no one was the first to reach out to test him, because Su Lin was so conspicuous now that even His Majesty the Pope knew there was such a person.
His Majesty the Pope also said with a smile that he is an interesting child. Since he wants to restore the glory of the family so much, he might as well start as a priest.
His Majesty the Pope of this generation rarely praised young people. He did not give an order to give Su Lin the position, let alone the bishop position that Su Lin claimed to want. He only seemed to have given him a suggestion to start from the grassroots priesthood. It starts with personnel.
If this was said by a bishop in white, and Su Lin was asking him to do something, then this was perfunctory.
But this is what His Majesty the Pope said, and its nature is different. It shows that His Majesty the Pope may really be optimistic about him. If Su Lin is willing to work at the grassroots level, his future prospects are limitless.
Of course, no one knew whether His Majesty the Pope had really noticed Su Lin, or just made casual remarks when others mentioned it.
…………
The wind of early spring cannot dissipate the cold of late winter, and the white air rising in the darkness rises when I breathe.
Su Lin drove his horse across the long suspension bridge, and was greeted by a young butler on the other side of the bridge.
"Mr. Chaos, please come with me."
After the young butler saluted appropriately, he spoke slowly and did not help Su Lin lead the horse.
This resort palace is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains. Only this suspension bridge can pass through the cliff, which is a natural fortress.
In terms of scale, Su Lin's royal castle in Nimes is simply a toilet, and its level of arrogance is completely incomparable.
This palace was built by the Camor family. It is mainly used to escape the heat in summer and the cold in winter. It is usually used by the elderly in the family.
The Camor family is one of the five greatest families since the founding of the Eternal Night Church. Every generation of cardinals in the Eternal Night Church has their members, and the Camor family has produced three popes in its history, which can be said to be the most powerful. Extremely noble.
After Su Lin made a fuss for a month, he finally received a cryptic letter. The wax seal on the letter had the emblem of the Camor family, a lion.
The letters were mostly polite and did not clearly state their purpose. They just said that the Camor family was very interested in him and hoped that he could come to the banquet.
Although it was not stated explicitly in the letter, Su Lin still sensed some obscure information, that is, the Camor family did not want the news of his going to the banquet to be known to others, and he needed to keep a low profile.
That's why he drove his old horse up the mountain alone today, like a man delivering geothermal ore, wearing a heavy cloak through the early spring morning mist, and arrived at the palace.
Sometimes I feel that it is very convenient to do certain things without light in this world. At least the possibility of being tracked is greatly reduced.
"Mr. Chaos, you may see something that goes against your common sense later, but please don't panic. We have appropriate means of handling it."
The young butler said in front of Su Lin. He led Su Lin around two mountain bays, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
Su Lin immediately knew why the other party had to remind him first to stop panicking.
Because he could clearly see the magnificent building in front of him, because there was light here!
Above this magnificent resort palace, there is a huge light source emitting brilliance, and there are several extraordinary strong men standing nearby, dealing with manifested weirdness at any time.
There are also light sources and personnel arrangements at various nodes in the resort palace. Taken together, they finally illuminate the building and the scene in the valley.
What a luxurious arrangement this is. Regardless of the cost of building this palace, just lighting up the lights and having dozens or hundreds of extraordinary and powerful people on standby to be the light keepers is a huge cost.
Su Lin used his reconnaissance skills to observe the clergy. With a comprehensive attribute of 30 points, he should be considered an upper-middle-class transcendent in this world, but he was just keeping lights here.
Su Lin was sure that the other party did not hope to obtain nightmare fuel through trapping like himself, but was just a request from the old people holding cigarette poles in the yard.
Yes, he had already analyzed that people tend to be light-oriented, but the price of chasing light in this world is too high, and it will attract weirdness.
So if the leaders of the Eternal Night Church need to enjoy it, how can they completely eliminate light?
They themselves hold absolute tyranny, and the scene in front of them does not seem to violate their teachings, because the old people can say that this is to capture monsters and collect nightmare fuel. They are not enjoying the light, but just hunting the darkness.
But in fact, they were enjoying the light, looking at the magnificent palace in the light place, stroking the satin-like skin of the beautiful young woman, and looking at the red wine in the shaking wine glass.
If there is no light in this world and vision is limited, there will be too much fun, and these people who have the supreme power don't seem to want to give up these fun.
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. It is very appropriate to put them here.
"Mr. Chaos, please remember that there are some things you saw here that you need to forget. You only need to remember what the elders ordered."
The steward said softly as he led the way.
"Don't worry, I know the rules."
Su Lin grinned. The senior leaders of Yongye Church were bolder than he thought. This was a good thing. Only those who are bold would find loopholes for him to exploit.
Soon, he came to the front of the palace. In the square, three old men were sitting on deck chairs, smoking cigarettes and chatting. They seemed not to have seen Su Lin's arrival.
Several maids were busy nearby, refilling tea and wine for the old people from time to time, but did not dare to interrupt.
About ten minutes passed before one of the old men seemed to realize that an outsider had arrived. He looked at Su Lin and said, "Children of the Chaos family, come closer and let me see what you look like."
Su Lin took off his heavy cloak and took a few steps forward, "Su Lin Chaos, it's an honor to meet several elders of the Camor family."
"Well, that's right. It seems that your family values you very much and cultivates you well."
The old man in white clothes on the left nodded and put down the cigarette stick in his hand. "It is very rare to have such strength at a young age without the guidance of a master in the church."
Su Lin knew that the other party was talking about his own strength. The old people in front of him were certainly not ordinary people. The elders of the Camor family were at least retired red archbishops. They were all extremely powerful extraordinary beings back then.
For the three old men in front of me, their physical attributes were around 40 points, and their mental attributes were slightly lower than mine.
"Judging from the rumors, kid, you are a smart man and should know what we want. Show your trump card."
The old man in gray clothes in the middle looked at Su Lindao. In a place with light, when people's eyes meet, some information may be leaked. But unfortunately, the old man in gray clothes could not see anything from Su Lin's eyes.
"If the elders hope for armor and weapons, I'm afraid they will be disappointed."
Su Lin said, taking a step back, the emerald green ring on his finger glowed, and a nightmare mecha appeared on the ground.
This is already an improved version of the fourth generation. It is more intelligent than the first generation nightmare mecha, has a more complete combat system, and is more lethal and durable.
Su Lin stood next to the nightmare mecha, stroking the surface of the nightmare mecha with his hand, looking at the three elders of the Camor family with a pair of eyes, and smiled, "This is the highest masterpiece of the Chaos family. , soldiers driven by the 'Gift of the Night', absolutely obedient, ruthless killing machines."
(End of this chapter)
Half an hour later, Su Lin sat on the sofa panting and took a sip of herbal tea.
"How did you determine the location of my space?"
Su Lin turned to look at Lu Zhixue. The competition just now was not the beating he had expected. Although he believed that his overall ability and skills were higher than Lu Zhixue's, in terms of competition alone, they ended in a tie.
Lu Zhixue could always judge the release trajectory of his spatial skills. Even if he used spatial reconstruction to shift his position, Lu Zhixue could catch it immediately. His abnormal neural reflexes made Su Lin suspect that all his tactics had been seen through.
"It's nothing. I just noticed it the moment it appeared and was able to react."
Lu Zhixue sat next to Su Lin and took a sip of the energy drink taken out of the storage space.
"Just like that?"
Su Lin was a little depressed. Could it be that the woman next to her relied on intuition when fighting?
"It's that simple."
Lu Zhixue nodded casually.
Su Lin became even more depressed. It seemed that he would have to be wary of opponents like Lu Zhixue in the future. Facing this type of enemy, using fancy abilities might not be enough to defeat them.
You must have frontal lethality to defeat it, otherwise once the opponent recovers, you will be the one to suffer.
Of course, he would not use all means against his friends during the competition. For example, he did not use the newly acquired box against Lu Zhixue, but he felt that with Lu Zhixue's keen wild intuition, he might be able to avoid the location where the trap box was set. indefinite.
But if he has means, it won't work. Lu Zhixue can't say that he will definitely use his full strength. If we really want to compete, I'm afraid it can only be in the arena of space.
After all, when fighting there, you don't have to worry about the opponent dying. You can just give it a try without any scruples.
"The data is available, which is enough to develop an initial combat model. The product will be put on the assembly line next month."
Su Lin was in a good mood. The battle data between him and Lu Zhixue was very useful, especially since he had preset the machine to observe Lu Zhixue's battle mode, and he was just a 'flashy' imaginary enemy.
Nightmare Unit No. [-] mainly focuses on melee combat capabilities, focusing on physical damage. Su Lin did not design any ability for it to attack weird creatures, because that would require additional consumption of nightmare fuel.
Moreover, the imaginary enemies of Nightmare Unit-[-] have never been monsters, but human beings. No matter how powerful the clergy of the Eternal Night Church are, they are still human beings, and the destruction of the physical body means death.
In essence, the Nightmare Unit [-] is a machine that exists for human war, and for the weird aspect, the Eternal Night Church's own priests are enough.
"Why does it feel like what we are doing now is like villains?"
Lu Zhixue said with a smile.
She understood Su Lin's intention. The country of Nim only needed to fool a few surrounding parishes to develop with peace of mind, and there was no need to go to the Yongye Church in person.
As a production site of mysterious scientific machines, Nim Country only needs to engage in diplomacy and secretly transport nightmare machines to the outside world. The war will naturally start by others. They only need to make war fortune and watch the internal collapse of the Evernight Church. good.
"What are you talking about? We are the divine envoys of the Light Religion, and we want to bring light to the world."
Su Lin raised the corners of his lips and took a sip of herbal tea, "Yong Ye's rule cannot last long. I want the sun to rise."
…………
The cold winter wind blew across the wilderness, and in the darkness and silence, horse-drawn carriages pulling geothermal ore were parked on the outskirts.
An old man wearing a white robe stood there, his face seemed a bit unhappy, and there was a nun standing next to him. She lowered her eyebrows and nodded, looking very young.
"Shirley, you are half an hour later than the agreed time."
The old man took out a pocket watch from his chest. This kind of pocket watch is well made. The pointer will drive the wheel below, which will affect the small bumps on the periphery of the mechanism. The user only needs to touch the bumps on the periphery to know the current time. .
In the dark, time will be ignored by many people, and only some powerful people will pay more attention to it. On the other hand, carrying a pocket watch with you has become a symbol of status.
This is the case with Bishop Neo. In fact, he is not that busy, but he always likes to caress the pocket watch, as if he is caressing his lover's skin.
"The delivery volume this time is relatively large, so it is a little slow. Please forgive me, Bishop Neo."
Lu Zhixue was wearing a nun's uniform and said with her head lowered. She could not raise her head, otherwise the other party would see her eyes glowing scarlet, containing murderous intent.
"Oh? Is it true, as the boy from the Silvis family said, that the supply of geothermal ore will be much larger this time?"
The unhappiness in Bishop Neo's heart was swept away. He looked at the vehicles in the dark. Although he couldn't see clearly, his good hearing allowed him to judge that the number of convoys was indeed larger than before, even twice as many.
"The quantity delivered in the autumn is one hundred tons of geothermal ore. This time King Subai will deliver two hundred tons of geothermal ore to show his respect for you and thank you for taking care of the Silvis family over the years."
Standing next to Lu Zhixue was a man wearing a cloak and a black hood. He also lowered his eyebrows and nodded, as if he was very respectful.
"Hahaha, he is really a sensible boy. When you go back, tell him that he can be his king with peace of mind in the past few years."
Bishop Neo is in a good mood. He controls the country of Nimes. The church naturally knows it and will set a quota for him.
In other words, in the ruling system of the Eternal Night Church, this is called theocratic tax. 70% of the income of the Nim Kingdom should be turned over to the church. In recent years, it has become a unified collection of geothermal ore by default.
According to the standards of previous years, as long as the Diocese of Rafaam records on the bill that the income from Nimes is no less than two hundred tons of geothermal ore every year, it will be enough. If there is more, then Bishop Neo will pocket it.
In recent years, the country of Nimes has performed well. It can supply 400 tons of geothermal ore almost every year. Bishop Neo can make half of the profits from it, and the rest can be left to the upper levels of the church.
This time, the Nim Kingdom was even more impressive. It only brought him two hundred tons of geothermal ore in one winter season. This was a considerable amount of wealth, enough for him to spend a lot of time in the social circle.
If it weren't for the fact that the Nim Kingdom couldn't fully exploit its wealth, and that the Silvis family had indeed ruled for too long, he would have wanted the boy named Su Bai to work for another lifetime.
However, in order to avoid the trouble caused by the long-term rule of one family and the possible negative consequences of tyranny oppressing the people of Nim, Bishop Neo was prepared to replace Su Bai in the next year.
After all, he thinks that it is a good thing that his income can increase, but Su Bai's squeezing of the people is likely to cause the country of Nim to fall below the population red line. If there is a problem with this intangible cultural heritage in his hands, the church will also ask questions. Blame yourself.
In fact, Bishop Neo never imagined that the productivity of Nim Country has undergone earth-shaking changes. Two hundred tons of geothermal ore is only the output of the current mining area in two days.
All professions have been reformed, and the national happiness of Nim has skyrocketed. There is no oppression at all.
"Yes, I will inform him. I believe he will be very happy when he learns the news."
Lu Zhixue lowered his eyebrows and nodded.
"According to the usual practice, he should come to visit me during his first handover after taking office. Why didn't he come?"
Bishop Neo thought of something, "I am quite interested in that young boy."
"What a pity. Your Majesty has been feeling cold recently. He was afraid of losing his manners in front of the Bishop, so he didn't come here to see the Bishop's grace. His Majesty was coughing up blood in bed with regret."
The hooded man in black next to Lu Zhixue said.
"This is?"
Only then did Bishop Neo realize that the hooded man was not from their church, and they had only sent Sister Shirley as an insider in Nim.
The man in black stood up straight and removed the hood on his head, revealing a handsome face.
"The financial officer of Nim Country, it is an honor to meet the Bishop."
Su Lin performed a standard etiquette.
"Oh, that's it. When you go back, tell your king to work hard and I won't treat him badly."
Bishop Neo held the list of accounts in his hand and stroked the words on it. His mood was getting better and better, and he didn't care about the messy things inside Nim Country at all.
After he counted the accounts, he was about to leave. Before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at where Lu Zhixue was. "By the way, Shirley, the religious church has commended you, and you will be commended next month." I have been promoted to Bishop in White and may be transferred from here, so you need to make preparations for leaving first."
Bishop Neo was also quite puzzled by this matter. He also received the news the day before yesterday. Obviously he had not commended the achievements of the nun responsible for the connection with Nimes, but the religious church had issued a commendation document.
He also wrote in the letter that Sister Shirley will be promoted. This is a pre-notification letter. The church has not yet made arrangements for which diocese Shirley will go to, but it seems to be a certainty that she will become a white bishop. .
The other party is about to become a bishop in white at the same level as himself. Of course, Bishop Neo can no longer harass him due to his authority, and he must be notified. Otherwise, when the order from the church's upper echelon comes down, Sister Shirley will have to bear the responsibility no longer with him.
"Thank you Bishop Neo for the notice. I will prepare to leave in advance."
Lu Zhixue said with a smile.
Of course she would not be promoted by the Eternal Night Church for no reason. All these things come at a price.
Su Lin paid [-] tons of geothermal ore and a set of art-grade Shia alloy armor to bribe an elder of a theocratic family and let him hold meetings in the Archdiocese of Nancy, the diocese that governs this southern region. He opened his mouth and promoted Lu Zhixue.
Lu Zhixue's full name in this world is Shirley Lu Osman. The Lu Osman family used to be a powerful theocratic family, but now it has declined, and only some old guys in the circle still remember it.
This time, Su Lin used Bishop Nila's family to get Lu Zhixue in touch with the theocratic family of the Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Nancy. The elder liked art works of armor and weapons, so Su Lin joined him. Well, I built a set for him, and with a large amount of geothermal ore, the clan elder just called Lu Zhixue 'niece'.
Things went smoothly. It is not difficult for a cardinal's family to appoint and promote a highly qualified nun in their own territory. What's more, Lu Zhixue himself comes from a theocratic family, which is in line with the politics of the people promoted by the Yongye Church. correct'
No, Lu Zhixue's promotion notice will arrive in a few days, but it's just that he hasn't decided where to appoint him yet.
The promotion system of the Eternal Night Church is very simple. Generally speaking, the quotas for white bishops and cardinals are fixed. After all, the number of dioceses has been fixed. Even if additional clergy are promoted, they will have to Go to the area you manage.
Generally speaking, the promotion of priests to bishops is decided at the annual meetings of major dioceses. The cardinals of the Eternal Night Church will first review the vacancies in major dioceses this year, and then confirm and approve the quotas. Leave it to the diocese below to make specific selections.
For example, if the bishops of three dioceses passed away this year, then there will be three promotion places, which are usually allocated by each archdiocese. For example, there is a vacancy in the Diocese of Nancy. Who will take this position? It is the Diocese of Nancy. The cardinal has the final say.
There is currently no vacancy in the Archdiocese of Nancy, but Lu Zhixue has still been promoted. This is another special situation.
In the promotion system of Yongye Church, in addition to being promoted to a bishop to manage a diocese, there are also situations where there is no jurisdiction after promotion. This situation is relatively rare, or the big bosses who decide the personnel promotion schedule have made a mistake. Or it was a position that some powerful families took first in order to gild young people.
For example, some ancient theocratic families let their children receive the title of bishop first. In fact, they did not go to govern any place, but continued to study in the seminary, and then followed the central boss of the Evernight Church as a secretary or something.
Lu Zhixue obviously did not fall into this situation. The money she spent was not enough to get her to the center, and the family they were looking for did not have such great energy.
Su Lin asked Lu Zhixue to inquire about the information about the Archdiocese of Nancy. The old bishop of Lucullian Diocese in the north of the archdiocese was old and had mentioned to the superiors several times that he wanted to retire, but he had not yet decided on a suitable position. The matter was temporarily shelved.
Now that Lu Zhixue has been promoted to Bishop in White, the people above should want her to take over from the old bishop of Lucalien Diocese, but something will happen unexpectedly, and Lu Zhixue will not go to Lucalien Diocese.
Because Bishop Neo will die in a few days, Lu Zhixue will naturally become the bishop of the Lafam diocese after his death.
Because she has working experience in the Lafayam Diocese, she is naturally the most suitable candidate after the old bishop dies. As for the vacancies in Lucullian Diocese, the old bishop who wants to retire can only wait a little longer. Young people are anxious to get to the top.
Su Lin has already made arrangements for Bishop Neo, which is absolutely invisible to the other party's level. He will die peacefully in a few days, and outsiders will only think that he has died.
Bishop Neo himself is over 100 years old. As an extraordinary person, his conduct is very ordinary. It was only through the care of his elders that he took the position of bishop at the age of 70. He refused to leave such a good place in the Diocese of Lafayam.
At his age, extraordinary strength cannot be mastered, and death from old age is normal.
As for some suspicious traces, they would naturally be erased by the secretary next to Bishop Neo.
Yes, just yesterday, Bishop Neo's secretary had been replaced by Su Lin. The body was still that of the original nun, but the soul had been replaced by Su Liu'er.
Su Liuer's power in this world is very strong. She seems to be very suitable for the environment here. In a few months, her soul body has more than doubled in strength. It is not difficult to control a person's body using the secret technique of soul cultivation.
As for the original nun's soul, it was naturally erased by Su Lin. As Bishop Neo's deputy, this nun looked young, but she had done a lot of dirty things, so he didn't have any burden to do it.
In Su Lin's opinion, there are still some loopholes in Su Liuer's control over people's bodies, but because there is no sunlight in this world, it is difficult to observe what is wrong with people in the dark, and those loopholes are not so obvious.
And without the level of a stranger in his thirties or forties, Su Lin felt that it was difficult to see Su Liuer's abnormality at a glance in the dark.
Rafam Parish is a small place and there is no such expert at all. There is still a possibility that the super strong people at the center of the Evernight Church can see the flaws, but they will not come here.
As long as they complete the transfer of power in the Lafaam Diocese this month, the nun controlled by Su Liuer will disappear from the world. He can think of a lot of reasons for accidental death.
…………
Bishop Neo died, having nightmares for days and dying in endless pain.
But at the moment before he died, he didn't know what he saw, and his expression became particularly happy and peaceful, just like a centenarian dying in front of his bed, surrounded by his descendants.
The death knell rang in Lafayam Parish, and the clergy gathered in the church to pray, but few people really felt sad. Most just felt that this old thing was finally dead.
People from the Nancy Archdiocese's Inquisition Bureau came here, and after investigation, they concluded that Bishop Neo was haggard and old, so he fell asleep in bed, which was considered a natural death.
The church's personnel appointments came quickly. On the third day after Bishop Neo's death, Lu Zhixue took office and became the actual leader of the Lafam Diocese.
At this point, Su Lin's internal corrosion plan has been successful in the first step.
The fall of Lafayam Parish into their hands means that they can become more unscrupulous in their industrialization and other actions in Nimes.
Anyway, the upper echelons of the church don't pay much attention to the Nim Kingdom. The resources that the Nim Kingdom provides each year are only a small amount for the church, so they can just provide them as usual. Everything is normal on the surface.
Because the Heresy Tribunal of the Eternal Night Church was unexpectedly easy to fool, Su Lin simply did not let Su Liuer come back and stayed with Lu Zhixue to help her handle official duties, because Lu Zhixue was really not good at this.
At the same time, Su Liuer also took on Lu Zhixue's original work, responsible for communicating with the Nim Kingdom and running errands.
As a bishop, it was obviously inconvenient for Lu Zhixue to travel to Nim Kingdom more often, which made her often complain.
Su Lin carried out industrial development with great fanfare in Nimes, using almost all the resources in this three-thirds of an acre of land.Nowadays, major factories are working hard to process Shia alloy and make raw materials for nightmare machinery for him. These will be important materials for them to leverage the Church of Eternal Night.
After taking care of the Lafaam diocese that controls the Nimes country, Su Lin also needs to completely take down the diocese controlled by Bishop Nila in the south, because it is also close to the Nimes country. If he makes any big move, the people there may Will notice.
Su Lin's biggest problem now is the lack of manpower, the kind of manpower that can be independent and can be trusted absolutely.
This is the disadvantage of the Shanhai Game camp. There are only two of them, and there are only three including Su Liuer. Therefore, they do not have enough people to control the core area.
In the case of insufficient manpower, he can only consider asking outsiders to help. If he wants to lock outsiders into his camp, he must give the other party absolute benefits.
Before that, he needs to show his strength and the benefits he can bring to the other party.
So his nightmare machine diplomacy plan is about to start, and the first batch of nightmare machines will be put into the market.
Soon, spring began, and Nimes had another bumper harvest. People were immersed in joy, and miners and factory workers were full of motivation because His Majesty the King gave them another salary.
People cheered when His Majesty the King walked through the streets, but no one knew that His Majesty the King was just a puppet. It was a puppet made by Su Lin. He could only nod and smile mechanically and say "Thank you for your hard work." The days will get better and better. The better comes'
And he himself is no longer in Nim Country.
After the beginning of spring, at some unknown time, on the territory of the Evernight Church, a new star appeared in the theocratic circle.
It was a young black-haired man who called himself Su Lin Chaos. It is said that the Chaos family is a declining theocratic family, and he is the eldest son in the family.
The ancestors of the Chaos family had a cardinal, but he later declined and was no longer in the power circle of the Eternal Night Church. He turned to business and accumulated a lot of wealth in recent years.
Because he has always kept God's teachings in mind, in Su Lin's generation, the family hopes that he can re-enter the theocratic circle and become a priest or even a bishop.
This Su Lin Chaos went to various social occasions, spent money like water, and got acquainted with a group of young children from theocratic families, and quickly gained a certain reputation in the circle.
Many ladies from the theocratic families are very curious about him. There are all kinds of rumors about Su Lin, but most of them say that he is very handsome.
As long as you touch that handsome face with your hands once, you will never forget that touch again. Its handsome appearance, reconstructed in your mind through touch, can be called a creation of God.
Some people were curious to check Su Lin's background and identity, and found that there was indeed a family like Chaos. This family had indeed declined for a long time, and was now engaged in the salt and iron business. They asked the old housekeeper of the Chaos family, and the old housekeeper also expressed his feelings towards Su. Young Master Lin praised him very much.
In just one month, Su Lin's name spread throughout the southern half of Yongye Church, and he was invited to various high-society social salons.
Because this young master of the Chaos family is really lovable, humorous, and generous. He can handle both male and female guests very well and make everyone laugh.
Su Lin was living a cool life outside, but the bill sent back to Nim made Lu Zhixue tremble with fear.
The citizens of Nimes are still shouting long live His Majesty the King, but they don’t know that His Majesty the King is eating and drinking outside with public funds. The consumption of a banquet is equivalent to the productivity of the citizens of Nimes for a day.
It can be said that Nim Country has almost no savings now, and all the value produced has been consumed by Su Lin outside.
He exported grain in exchange for common currency. Except for the geothermal ore that bought Lu Zhixue the position of bishop, the rest was exchanged for Shia gold. The Shia alloy produced in Nim was exported and made into various products. The value of handicrafts has more than doubled.
People in this world also use jewelry, such as the Xia mine gold jewelry previously produced by Bishop Nila's family, but Su Lin felt that they had found the wrong breakthrough.
In a world invisible to everyone, most features such as decorative clothing can only be judged by touch. The touch of Shia gold is not very good. Even if it is polished carefully, there will be a slight frosted feeling.
But his Shia alloy is different. It is not only strong but also smooth. It can make some high-end practical ornaments and is very popular among theocratic families.
For example, the statue of the God of Eternal Night, the statue of a naked woman, the Shia alloy toilet set, etc...
Well, the classification seems a bit strange, but in Su Lin's opinion, they are all similar crafts. Shia alloy has high density and excellent ductility. This kind of craft can be made with molds, and it can be sold as long as it is polished and polished later. .
Those theocratic families love these handicrafts very much, especially the Shia alloy toilet set, which makes them feel that their toilet experience has improved by more than one level.
The Yongye Church has a currency system based on gold, silver and copper coins. One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins and one hundred copper coins. One gold coin can buy about 1 ton of geothermal ore on the territory of the Yongye Church.
Su Lin processes and produces a set of Shia alloy toilets at a cost of about 0.5 gold coins. When sold to the Theocratic Family, the price starts at 100 gold coins.
Well, probably only 20000% profit, not much.
He relies on all kinds of industrially produced new gadgets to harvest the rich people of Yongye Church, and those people still think it is worth it. At present, the Xia alloy toilet set has been sold at a sky-high price, and they have been sold out. Goods.
All major theocratic families are proud to have toilet sets, and they often bring friends who don't have toilet sets to visit their homes to experience them.
Su Lin didn't know why these people were so obsessed with toilet suits. At first, he just thought that people here were too unhygienic when going to the toilet, even the theocratic nobles, so he put together a set and prepared to slowly sell it to the country. Promote popularization and avoid the situation where urination and defecation are everywhere in the country.
As a result, the toilet set became unexpectedly popular after its launch, and its sales far exceeded the statue of the Eternal Night Church Goddess that he personally sculpted and designed...
Su Lin made a fortune relying on these things, so he was able to get along like a fish in the territory of Yongye Church. He used money to clear the way for everyone he met. Who wouldn't like him?
The country of Nim currently trades with foreign countries through Nila's line, and its daily net profit is more than 2000 gold coins, and Bishop Nila can extract 5% of the 'tariff' from it.
Well, Bishop Nila shut up firmly. It wasn't that she didn't want to denounce Bishop Shirley for cooperating with heretics, but the country of Nim gave too much.
Su Lin held banquets on the grounds of Yongye Church every day or went to other people's banquets. When he visited the ancient theocratic families, he would bring along corresponding handicrafts as they liked.
This saved their expenses in a disguised way, because those handicrafts were not valuable to the Nim Kingdom, but in the eyes of the theocratic nobles, they were high-end novelties, which were far more appetizing to them than giving them money directly.
In this way, Su Lin quickly established his own personality within the Yongye Church.
A humorous, spendthrift, and polite heir to a theocratic family. His family ancestors also produced important figures, but now they have declined and turned to business.
After his personality is established, he will naturally attract the attention of interested people, especially those ancient families with keen sense of smell, who will notice the significance of the handicrafts he gives as gifts.
Many nobles would only sigh at how exquisite those handicrafts were, how comfortable the Shia alloy toilet was to sit on, and how it made them lose weight when excreting.
But most people ignore the industrial level behind these handicrafts.
The elders in the ancient theocratic families noticed this. They believed that this was not the industrial technology recognized by the Eternal Night Church today, and powerful industrial technology seemed to be able to do more than just make these decorations.
Their information-gathering ability is very powerful, and they quickly obtained information related to these artifacts. The earliest appearance of this type of artifacts was in the Archdiocese of Nancy, and the cardinal's family received a gift.
It is said that the gift was a set of exquisite armor and came with an exquisite knight's sword.
This further confirmed the thoughts of the clan elders. They did not care about the high artistic value of these handicrafts. They only cared about whether this technology could be used in the field of weapons. The answer was yes.
Su Lin, who was hanging around in the upper class society, was like being in the eye of a storm, being stared at by many pairs of eyes. Although there was no evidence and the source could not be found, they all believed that the source of those handicrafts was related to Su Lin.
Someone went to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Chaos family, only to find that the Chaos family was indeed only engaged in the salt and iron business and had no other income.
But this doesn't make sense, because Su Lin spends money like water in the theocratic circle, and his expenses are beyond the support of the Chaos family.
Each major family had their own thoughts, but no one was the first to reach out to test him, because Su Lin was so conspicuous now that even His Majesty the Pope knew there was such a person.
His Majesty the Pope also said with a smile that he is an interesting child. Since he wants to restore the glory of the family so much, he might as well start as a priest.
His Majesty the Pope of this generation rarely praised young people. He did not give an order to give Su Lin the position, let alone the bishop position that Su Lin claimed to want. He only seemed to have given him a suggestion to start from the grassroots priesthood. It starts with personnel.
If this was said by a bishop in white, and Su Lin was asking him to do something, then this was perfunctory.
But this is what His Majesty the Pope said, and its nature is different. It shows that His Majesty the Pope may really be optimistic about him. If Su Lin is willing to work at the grassroots level, his future prospects are limitless.
Of course, no one knew whether His Majesty the Pope had really noticed Su Lin, or just made casual remarks when others mentioned it.
…………
The wind of early spring cannot dissipate the cold of late winter, and the white air rising in the darkness rises when I breathe.
Su Lin drove his horse across the long suspension bridge, and was greeted by a young butler on the other side of the bridge.
"Mr. Chaos, please come with me."
After the young butler saluted appropriately, he spoke slowly and did not help Su Lin lead the horse.
This resort palace is located in the mountains, surrounded by mountains. Only this suspension bridge can pass through the cliff, which is a natural fortress.
In terms of scale, Su Lin's royal castle in Nimes is simply a toilet, and its level of arrogance is completely incomparable.
This palace was built by the Camor family. It is mainly used to escape the heat in summer and the cold in winter. It is usually used by the elderly in the family.
The Camor family is one of the five greatest families since the founding of the Eternal Night Church. Every generation of cardinals in the Eternal Night Church has their members, and the Camor family has produced three popes in its history, which can be said to be the most powerful. Extremely noble.
After Su Lin made a fuss for a month, he finally received a cryptic letter. The wax seal on the letter had the emblem of the Camor family, a lion.
The letters were mostly polite and did not clearly state their purpose. They just said that the Camor family was very interested in him and hoped that he could come to the banquet.
Although it was not stated explicitly in the letter, Su Lin still sensed some obscure information, that is, the Camor family did not want the news of his going to the banquet to be known to others, and he needed to keep a low profile.
That's why he drove his old horse up the mountain alone today, like a man delivering geothermal ore, wearing a heavy cloak through the early spring morning mist, and arrived at the palace.
Sometimes I feel that it is very convenient to do certain things without light in this world. At least the possibility of being tracked is greatly reduced.
"Mr. Chaos, you may see something that goes against your common sense later, but please don't panic. We have appropriate means of handling it."
The young butler said in front of Su Lin. He led Su Lin around two mountain bays, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
Su Lin immediately knew why the other party had to remind him first to stop panicking.
Because he could clearly see the magnificent building in front of him, because there was light here!
Above this magnificent resort palace, there is a huge light source emitting brilliance, and there are several extraordinary strong men standing nearby, dealing with manifested weirdness at any time.
There are also light sources and personnel arrangements at various nodes in the resort palace. Taken together, they finally illuminate the building and the scene in the valley.
What a luxurious arrangement this is. Regardless of the cost of building this palace, just lighting up the lights and having dozens or hundreds of extraordinary and powerful people on standby to be the light keepers is a huge cost.
Su Lin used his reconnaissance skills to observe the clergy. With a comprehensive attribute of 30 points, he should be considered an upper-middle-class transcendent in this world, but he was just keeping lights here.
Su Lin was sure that the other party did not hope to obtain nightmare fuel through trapping like himself, but was just a request from the old people holding cigarette poles in the yard.
Yes, he had already analyzed that people tend to be light-oriented, but the price of chasing light in this world is too high, and it will attract weirdness.
So if the leaders of the Eternal Night Church need to enjoy it, how can they completely eliminate light?
They themselves hold absolute tyranny, and the scene in front of them does not seem to violate their teachings, because the old people can say that this is to capture monsters and collect nightmare fuel. They are not enjoying the light, but just hunting the darkness.
But in fact, they were enjoying the light, looking at the magnificent palace in the light place, stroking the satin-like skin of the beautiful young woman, and looking at the red wine in the shaking wine glass.
If there is no light in this world and vision is limited, there will be too much fun, and these people who have the supreme power don't seem to want to give up these fun.
Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. It is very appropriate to put them here.
"Mr. Chaos, please remember that there are some things you saw here that you need to forget. You only need to remember what the elders ordered."
The steward said softly as he led the way.
"Don't worry, I know the rules."
Su Lin grinned. The senior leaders of Yongye Church were bolder than he thought. This was a good thing. Only those who are bold would find loopholes for him to exploit.
Soon, he came to the front of the palace. In the square, three old men were sitting on deck chairs, smoking cigarettes and chatting. They seemed not to have seen Su Lin's arrival.
Several maids were busy nearby, refilling tea and wine for the old people from time to time, but did not dare to interrupt.
About ten minutes passed before one of the old men seemed to realize that an outsider had arrived. He looked at Su Lin and said, "Children of the Chaos family, come closer and let me see what you look like."
Su Lin took off his heavy cloak and took a few steps forward, "Su Lin Chaos, it's an honor to meet several elders of the Camor family."
"Well, that's right. It seems that your family values you very much and cultivates you well."
The old man in white clothes on the left nodded and put down the cigarette stick in his hand. "It is very rare to have such strength at a young age without the guidance of a master in the church."
Su Lin knew that the other party was talking about his own strength. The old people in front of him were certainly not ordinary people. The elders of the Camor family were at least retired red archbishops. They were all extremely powerful extraordinary beings back then.
For the three old men in front of me, their physical attributes were around 40 points, and their mental attributes were slightly lower than mine.
"Judging from the rumors, kid, you are a smart man and should know what we want. Show your trump card."
The old man in gray clothes in the middle looked at Su Lindao. In a place with light, when people's eyes meet, some information may be leaked. But unfortunately, the old man in gray clothes could not see anything from Su Lin's eyes.
"If the elders hope for armor and weapons, I'm afraid they will be disappointed."
Su Lin said, taking a step back, the emerald green ring on his finger glowed, and a nightmare mecha appeared on the ground.
This is already an improved version of the fourth generation. It is more intelligent than the first generation nightmare mecha, has a more complete combat system, and is more lethal and durable.
Su Lin stood next to the nightmare mecha, stroking the surface of the nightmare mecha with his hand, looking at the three elders of the Camor family with a pair of eyes, and smiled, "This is the highest masterpiece of the Chaos family. , soldiers driven by the 'Gift of the Night', absolutely obedient, ruthless killing machines."
