This pastor is so righteous

Chapter 123 The protagonist is absent?How to perform this play!
Once the news was sent out, it immediately caused a sensation in Landenburg.

The Wood family's caravan was hijacked by kobolds, which itself caused a great shock to Landenburg.

You know, as an important town in the northwest of the Zion Empire, Landenburg relies on trade for many things.

Whether ordinary people or nobles, making money and making a living all depend on trade lines.

Nowadays, the trade road near the dark wood forest is harassed and ambushed by kobolds, and the caravan no longer dares to take this road.

We can only take a detour from the road east of Landenburg to the Lem River Bridge, and then follow the official road at the foot of the mountain all the way to Jerusalem.

Not to mention a lot more itineraries, the delivery date for commercial transactions is also lengthened.

From the nobles to the common people, everyone suffered losses.

And no one knows how long this business will stop.

But as soon as they woke up, things took a turn for the better. Everyone saw a piece of news that could be said to be explosive!
The teacher and godfather of the little lord, the brother-in-law of the lord's wife, and the pastor of the cathedral, Bai Bin, actually risked his life to negotiate with the evil and dark kobold tribe to redeem the hostages.

When everyone saw the headlines on the front page of the newspaper, their brains went blank.

Where is this dark wood forest kobold lair!

That was the territory that Lord Langdon led the Iron Guard and Father Lima led the clergy, but they had never conquered the territory together. In the end, after paying a heavy price, they captured the kobold chief alive.

Even so, the kobold tribe never declined.

Now, Pastor Bai is going to take risks and go to the kobold lair to negotiate!
Not to mention the common people watching the show, even the family members of several caravan members were moved and worried about any losses caused by Pastor Bai's visit, and even deliberately blocked it.

"It was his life that my son was kidnapped. There is no need to take Pastor Bai's life again... Without Pastor Bai, the residents of Landenburg would have no backbone."

It is as if Bai Bin has become a resident whose palms and backs are full of meat.

Residents and common people all know who is good to them.

Since Bai Bin became the teacher and godfather of the little lord, he has also initiated many grassroots reforms and tax reductions. Coupled with his outstanding performance, he has really won the hearts and minds of a large number of people.

Although the policies are all issued in the name of the little lord Ting En, the common people are not fools. The little lord is so lazy and his speeches can make people laugh. How can they come up with such a good policy reform?
Now, Pastor Bai is going to risk his life and go to the kobold lair. How can the people accept this?
Bai Bin did not take the initiative to explain, but instead made this topic a hot topic.

The residents were all concerned about Bai Bin's safety. In the history of Landenburg, only Lord Landon had done this.

And when this topic reached the ears of the mind flayer, the mind flayer became anxious.

His advantage was the initiative he held, but now Bai Bin decided to go to the kobold lair in advance.

This news immediately broke Ulysses' rhythm.

Bai Bin goes to the kobold lair. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But when Bai Bin will go and whether he will take others with him, all this is unknown.

"You want to use this method to shake me... Haha, that's a good idea. But it's a pity that I am the only one who can control everything in the end!" A flash of light flashed across Ulysses' eyes, and he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Get ready, I'm going to the castle of Halas to rest." Ulysses said to the servant.

Ulysses decided to break the situation in an unexpected way.

A marquis was kidnapped by gnolls and goblins on his way to the town of Halas.

This bombshell news will definitely put Landenburg into confusion.

……

Bai Bin and the Mind Flayer were like strategizing generals, using the entire Landenburg and Darkwood Forest as chessboards to play against each other.

One is bright and the other is dark, they have never met each other, but they know each other's existence.

The activities under the table are now over, and the final showdown on the table is about to begin.While the citizens of Landenburg were still discussing Pastor Bai's personal visit to the kobold lair, in the afternoon, a new piece of explosive news came from the Knights District.

Marquis Lidall was attacked and kidnapped by the devil's dark minions on his way to Hallas Villa Castle for a rest and vacation, and his life and death are unknown.

This news made the citizens of Landenburg once again worried.

Margrave Lidall, who was highly respected in Landenburg.

Although he was not at the level of Lord Langdon or Father Lima, the Marquis, whose status was second only to the king and the duke, was kidnapped on the road and his life or death was uncertain, which undoubtedly cast a shadow on everyone in Landenburg.

Even the respected Marquis, whose safety is not guaranteed and will be intercepted when leaving the city, then who will dare to leave the city in the future?

The previously planned detour via the east commercial road also came to nothing.

Multiple pieces of news in one day repeatedly hit people's hearts.

It looks like a storm is coming.

Even the citizens feel that the situation is intensifying and that a greater conflict and a more severe situation are not far away.

When Bai Bin learned the news, he was shocked at first.

He had clearly told Landenburg to register whenever he left the city, but he had never received an application record from Marquis Lidall.

But this guy just left the city and was caught.

Ma Shuoer, who informed the news, had an embarrassed look on his face and explained: "Although the Marquis is not very knowledgeable in Landenburg, he still has his own connections. It is normal to bypass the sentry below and leave the city."

Bai Bin said meaningfully: "But it is strange and abnormal to leave the city at this time, and then live and die unknown... Who in the normal person would think of going to Haras at this time, taking the same road where Lord Langdon was assassinated? Is it normal?"

Ma Shuoer also wanted to explain it in terms of safety, but when he thought about it, there was no safer place than Landenburg.

What's more, we were just out of town, so why didn't we go through the normal registration and declaration process, but instead used our connections to leave without anyone noticing?

After leaving, he disappeared without knowing his life or death. This is completely unlike the style of the minions of darkness.

"what do you mean……"

Bai Bin pondered for a moment: "You take people to the Marquis' Mansion to investigate in the name of appeasement. The excuse is that there may be a spy from the devil in hell hidden in the Earl's Mansion. The disappearance of the Marquis is most likely due to a conspiracy. You must investigate carefully and bit by bit. Including the Marquis’s living quarters.”

"Do you suspect that the Marquis has been replaced?" Ma Shuoer asked.

Bai Bin's sixth sense told him that the Mind Flayer was very likely to use this accident to escape from its shell and turn from light to darkness.And this incident was a counterattack against his sudden announcement that he was going to the kobold lair, disrupting the active rhythm!

Now the play is about to start, but the protagonist of the stage leaves right under his nose, creating an extremely embarrassing situation.

Bai Bin was roasted on the fire.

Dilemma.

'Haha, is this the effect you want to create? Bai Bin looked at the pond in the courtyard and sneered.

As soon as Ma Shuoer left, the waiter Pink walked into the courtyard and said, "Pastor Bai, a gentleman outside the church who calls himself Zola said he has an appointment with you."

Oh, Zola is back.

Bai Bin's eyes lit up.

Now that the mind flayer has put on a big show.

Then I will give him an opening ceremony.

　Thanks for the reward for discovering one hundred ways men lie, thank you very much!
