They all call me master.

Chapter 644: Provocation. Hit!
'The Church of Pain'!
After hearing this term, Tolan narrowed his eyes, and most of the doubts in his heart were instantly resolved.

No wonder those ships encountered such strange things!

No wonder our people were found so easily!

No wonder those guys were so ruthless!

It turns out that it was all the work of the 'Church of Pain'!

They sent out the spies!

Not only did it destroy the high priest's plan, but it also provoke a real war!

You know, according to the plan of the high priest, he just wanted to hinder the voyage of the "Orient", but now with the emergence of the "Church of Pain", it has become a fight to the death.

'damn it!

When I saw that cruel method, I should have thought it was those bastards! '

Tolan thought to himself.

Toland was very familiar with the secret church in West Berlin that revered the "Lady of Suffering" as God. Three years ago, he also went to West Berlin to preach.

However, within a week, they encountered resistance from the 'Church of Pain'.

At that time, except for him, all the church members and followers were skinned by that evil church.

Until now, he still remembers that bloody scene.

And he?

He only escaped the disaster because he happened to go out to buy food.

And, after carefully discovering a stronghold of the 'Church of Pain', he was promoted to the position of priest by the high priest.

And after?
He didn't know after that.

Rumor has it that the high priest sent out "missionary knights" to reopen the "church" in the Dordot port in West Berlin.

Recalling everything in his mind, Tolan put down the special musket in his hand, and said:

"evidence!"

Toland hopes that the man in front of him named Grindelwald will produce more evidence.

Not only can these evidences exempt him from punishment, but they may also help him make further progress.

After all, it was a spy.
“Of course there is evidence.

I even know who the spy is that has infiltrated your church.

But we can talk about this later.

We can now talk about compensation!"

Grindelwald said with a smile.

compensate? !
Tolan was stunned.

The priest of the 'River Cult' was a little slow to react, and Grindelwald spoke as a matter of course.

"Compensation, of course!

Lord Tolan is not naive. Your church will not provide any compensation after it attacked the 'Orient' that Lord Kratos was on. Let's just forget about this, shall we?
Or are you ready to bear the wrath of both Lord Kratos and the Church of Pain at the same time?"

Grindelwald's smile remained unchanged, but there was already a hint of ruthlessness in his words.

"of course not!

Please give me some time!

I need to report the current situation to the high priest!"

Tolan shook his head.

Then, he went to the bathroom again.

This priest of the Inland River Cult has a communication stone on his body.

Looking at the closed bathroom door, Arthur knew that he had once again taken the initiative.

When Arthur discovered that Yura wanted to provoke a dispute between him and the 'Inner River Cult', he knew that he could provoke a war between the 'Inner River Cult' and the 'Church of Pain'.

As long as he makes a slight move, the 'Inner River Cult', which has lost so many followers and believers, will definitely not let go of the 'Church of Pain', with which they have had friction.

And facing the aggressiveness of the invaders, how could the 'Church of Pain' possibly swallow its anger?

The war between the two sides is basically imminent.

if only……

Tolan exaggerates!

And Tolan will definitely do this!
Because Tolan didn't want to face his own failure.

In fact, not only Tolan, but no one wants to face their own failure.

When faced with failure, we will definitely find excuses.

Even if I can't find it, I will blame it on 'the unfairness of fate'. And if I find it?

It would be great!
If you are sure and certain, you will put the blame on that excuse.

Especially someone like Tolan who already has a grudge against the 'Church of Suffering' would definitely not miss this opportunity of 'double happiness'.

In Yura's notebook, Arthur clearly saw the evaluation of Tolan -

He is a mysophobe and a little cautious, but easy to trust others. He becomes a bit talkative after getting to know others. His abilities are mediocre, but his faith is okay. You can try to win him over.

Grindelwald quietly waited for the known result.

Arthur's gaze had returned to the cabin of the 'Orient'.

At this time, the captain and first mate of the 'Orient' appeared outside Arthur's cabin together -

"Sir, would you like the main course of the banquet tonight to be roasted beef leg? Stewed deer? Roasted lamb chops? Or the river specialty 'mixed river fish stew'?"

Barry bowed and asked.

“Try the specials.”

Facing the old captain who was seconded from Melinda and was about to retire, Arthur showed the corresponding etiquette and his tone was very gentle.

He often eats beef shanks, lamb chops or venison.

On the contrary, I have not tried the inland river characteristics.

When it comes to food, Arthur believes that one should be adventurous.

“No problem, leave it to me.

There will also be a small theater performance after dinner to celebrate the first voyage of the "Orient" - Winter Monster.

If you are not busy, you can watch it anytime. ”

The Winter Monster is a play based on Arthur.

It has been performed in several theatres in the Shire area of ​​South Los.

Arthur had heard about this a long time ago.

However, what surprised Arthur was that the small theater on the 'Orient' would also be performed.

Originally, he was planning to signal it himself.

Now it seems that it is not needed.

As for whether it is shameless to do this?
Being a 'medium' is about propaganda.

What is a face?
Can you eat?
The maiden voyage of the 'Orient' and the play 'Winter Monster' must have complemented each other.

“I’m looking forward to it!”

Arthur once again felt a liking for the old captain in front of him.

Who doesn’t want to have such an understanding subordinate?

"This was specially prepared by our first mate Albert!"

Barry kept his mission in mind and immediately pushed his first mate out.

It was obvious that the young first mate was still a little uncomfortable.

Not only was his face red, but he also stuttered when he spoke.

"Good afternoon, sir."

Arthur looked at Barry with appreciation before patting the young first mate on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Work hard, the future is yours."

"Yes, yes, sir."

The young first mate still stuttered.

But it was different from the tension before.

This time, it was pure excitement.

Even after walking out of the cabin with Captain Barry, her cheeks were still red.

However, Captain Barry smiled as he looked at the appearance of his first mate.

Barry understood his first mate very well.

After all, he was the same back then.

"Albert, I'm not a big mouth, let me tell you..."

Outside the cabin, the sound of conversation faded away.

Arthur didn't care anymore.

Because the person he was waiting for was about to arrive.
