Five years of collapse and three years of simulation

Chapter 673 I Catch Myself

After discovering that the two of them didn't have much dispute over the price, Hannah's eyes showed some surprise.

You must know that the news of the theft of the treasures in Victor's home has not been fully spread, and the strict search by the Knights is only a guess.

Although it will be difficult to transport the treasures in the later stage, Kalian and Han Jiang can still fight for more gold coins.

"These two people are too...too indifferent." Hannah was puzzled.

Hannah and her master came to the holy city to seek the help of the local nobles, and also wanted to find ways to make money and get back what they had lost before.

As for why she bargained so hard at the beginning, the purpose was to leave some room for Han Jiang to bargain.

The calmness of the two made Hannah a little embarrassed, "Well, the price of the treasure is actually..."

Karen shook her head and said, "The price is quite good, and I will trouble you in the future."

"Oh, by the way, leave [-] of the [-] gold coins for Jenna, and I don't need gold coupons for the remaining [-] gold coins."

The gold coin coupon is a proof of a large amount of gold coins, and it can be exchanged for a number of gold coins of the same denomination as recognized by the Church of Destiny.

After all, no nobleman would carry so many gold coins with him, and no nobleman would specially hire servants to carry gold coins on their backs to go shopping with them.

This is an inevitable outcome of historical development.

Jenna was surprised: "Ah? Why did you leave us so many gold coins? We are just..."

Karen patted Jenna on the shoulder familiarly and said, "Your organization will give speeches everywhere to awaken the rebellious spirit in the people. Of course, it needs a certain amount of funds for activities."

"Don't look at me as a knight commander, but I also don't like some evildoers in the Church of Destiny. I protect all the people of the Holy City, not fight for some nobles."

"Then...then I would like to thank Lord Karen."

"Haha, don't call me Sir, just call me Kallen."

Everyone's goal is the same, and we don't have to overthrow the Church of Destiny, but to show that people in the Holy City can live their own lives.

The Church of Destiny is an indispensable existence. Diplomacy with the Empire and the protection of the safety of the people in the Holy City require the Church of Destiny to coordinate.

What everyone wants to clean up is just a malignant tumor like Victor in the Church of Destiny.

"Is this...really good?" Hannah was a little confused, "Actually, you can..."

"Of course." Karen said generously: "There will be more things to trouble you in the future, so don't worry about this little thing."

Kallen's mouth was full of bitterness, this was a gain of [-] gold coins.

In an era when ordinary people only needed two gold coins for a month's living, and poor families could not spend two gold coins for half a year, eighteen hundred gold coins was not a small amount.

"All right……"

Hannah no longer refused, only thinking about helping Karen and the others as much as possible in the future.

After all, Hannah also has her own responsibilities and her own hatred.

Gold coins are used in wars. If you want to take revenge and achieve your goals, you need a lot of gold coins.

"Well..." After thinking for a while, Hannah said to Karen and Han Jiang: "My master and I have just arrived in the holy city, and the secret trading route is just beginning to take shape, so let's talk about this batch of treasures. It will take about three days to transport it out, and I will bring nine hundred gold coins to find you two after three days."

"Ha~ good!" Kallen patted her gasping mouth with her hand and said, "It's getting late, I need to go back to rest, and I'll leave the rest to you."

"Han Jiang, let's go, let's go."

Han Jiang turned around and was about to go out with Karen, but Karen suddenly stopped at the door and looked back at Hannah and the others.

"I almost forgot, since you have established the organization for a long time, I would like to ask you for a list."

Jenna froze for a moment, then said, "What list?"

Karen frowned slightly, and said, "Well...it's the list of those nobles who committed evil in the Church of Destiny, you must have it?"

Jenna nodded thoughtfully. Now that an organization against the destiny has been established, there are still such lists to be motivated to eliminate the cancerous tumor of destiny.

"Well... But we need a little time to sort it out, I hope Lord Karen will not be in a hurry."

Kallen waved her little hand, and said impatiently: "I've said it all, don't call me Mrs. Kallen, just call me Kallen. I don't like the old nobleman's way of doing things."

"Uh...Okay, Karen." Jenna tried to call out.

Karen said with satisfaction: "That's no problem, then I'll go first, thank you for your hard work."

After speaking, Karen took Han Jiang back to Kaslana's mansion.

After returning to the room, Kallen was almost paralyzed on the chair and began to wail loudly.

Han Jiang asked concerned: "What's wrong with you, are you injured? You shouldn't, I see you..."

Now Karen even shook her arm lazily once or twice, and said weakly: "I'm fine~ I'm just too tired."

"I was hiding XZ at Victor's house, and I was not so tired when I searched for precious items. I didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to deal with these treasures."

Han Jiang asked curiously: "Then what did you do before, shouldn't you have experienced the same thing only once?"

"You said before?" Karen began to recall, and then began to break her fingers, "Before, this was much more complicated."

"At the beginning, when I was alone, I was caught on the spot, and I also killed civilians when I gave treasures to civilians."

"As for a long time ago, I vaguely remember that I didn't have to worry about this kind of thing at all, as if someone was helping me with everything, and I only had to go to the nobles' homes to get treasures, and then distribute gold coins to the needy poor."

"I really miss the feeling of that time. I only need to do what I like, and I don't need to worry too much about other troubles."

"Alas..." Caroline sighed, she forgot something.

Han Jiang also sighed, then stared at Karen without speaking.

"What do you see me doing? Also, why are you sighing?"

Han Jiang said blankly, "I was thinking, will you sleep on the bed and I will sleep on the floor tonight, or will you sleep on the floor and I will sleep on the bed?"

Caroline was puzzled and said, "Why do we have to have one person sleep on the floor?"

Han Jiang pointed to himself and asked, "Then where do I sleep?"

"Ah?" Kallen patted her head, stuck out her tongue and said, "I forgot about this, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Although Karen's father, the previous patriarch of the Kaslana family, is dead, but because of Karen's strength, her status in the family is still quite high.

Otherwise, the general family would have been reduced to a marginalized figure if they encountered such a situation, and Karen did not have the corresponding strength.

Even now, Karen is only able to command and move some servants. In terms of the core interests of the family and real power, the power has long been left behind.

It's just that Karen, a silly Baitian, doesn't care, and doesn't think about it so much.

"I'll ask the servant to prepare a room for you right away. There are still many guest rooms. If you need anything, you can talk to the servant."

"You don't think about me at all, do you?"

Karen sticks out her tongue and doesn't speak, trying to pass the test with cuteness, but she looks exactly like Kiyana.

Han Jiang woke up very early the next day, everyone in Kaslana's house, whether it was servants or members of Kaslana's house, were discussing the matter of Victor aggravating the theft.

Victor, as a high-ranking missionary, was burglarized at home or was robbed on the premise of being reminded by the other party, which had a great impact.

The whole city is discussing who made the move.

Ordinary people and the poor are secretly delighted, it is the indulgence note issued by this guy, and the collected money is stolen by others, which is very gratifying.

But the nobles are starting to feel insecure, especially those who have contact with Victor, trying their best to hide their financial reports in the safest place.

As for Karen, who caused all these effects, she was still asleep in the boudoir, the quilt was kicked aside, and she was holding the flyer with both hands to cover her body.

The two maids looked helpless at Karen who was sleeping like this, as if they wanted to scream but didn't dare.

The maids in this period did not dare to offend any nobleman at all. Even if the Knights of the Church called Kallen, they did not dare to wake Kallen by themselves, so they could only be stuck in the middle and wait for Kallen to wake up by herself.

The aristocrats aggravated the theft of treasures, and Karen, a great knight, needed to jointly search for the murderer, but she was sleeping with her head covered, which caused dissatisfaction among some people.

However, due to the strength of Kallen as the only S-rank Valkyrie, the nobles can express their dissatisfaction with their mouths, but they dare not cause Kallen's displeasure.

Until ten o'clock in the morning, Han Jiang ate breakfast under the service of the maids. After wandering around the holy city, Karen woke up with messy hair.

After waking up with sleepy eyes, she was served by the maid to change clothes, wash her face, and finally sat on the dining table before she fully woke up.

"What's the matter, I failed in the Eastern Expedition, didn't I already become a sinner of the church, deprived of all my rights and no longer need to work, why are you looking for me now?"

"Miss Carlin, be careful." The maid reminded her.

On the opposite side of the dining table sat the head of the Knights, the second in command of the Church of Destiny.

He listened to Karen's complaints and there was no sign of anger on his face, and he opened his mouth slowly after Karen finished complaining.

"It's like this. It's been a while since the Eastern Expedition, and now there are problems in the holy city. You still need to find the murderer and stabilize the people's hearts."

"Otherwise, everyone in the holy city is worried about that strange thief, and everyone is panicked. Without a normal life, how can the church develop?"

"Now I will return all your authority to you, and help me find out where the real culprit is."

Karen ate the cake and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I'll check it out. Why are you all panicking? Isn't it only the nobles like Victor who are disturbed? The people of the Holy City are not panicked."

The head of the group sighed, although he is the second in command of the church in everyone's mouth, in fact, he must completely obey the orders of the Pope.

The Church of Destiny has completely lost the model of the previous church. From the pope to the bishop, they are all members of the Apocalypse family. Even if they are not related by blood, they are still the pope's confidants.

Even the titular head of the Knights can't manage too much, and the rights have been taken over by the Apocalypse family.

This is the helplessness of the head of the group, and also the sorrow of the people of the Holy City, being ruled by one family.

From this point of view, Otto already had wisdom beyond ordinary people when he was still a teenager.

Burial in the Void contains all the technologies of Flame Chasing Moth, but it cannot improve a person's wisdom and talent.

It took Otto less than ten years to go from the third child who was not valued in the family to the archbishop in charge of destiny.

"Hee hee, it's really interesting that I was asked to investigate myself." After the leader left, Karen yelled at Han Jiang with a playful smile.

Han Jiang said sternly, "Then why don't you cooperate with your head and the church?"

At the end of speaking, the corners of Han Jiang's mouth could not help but curl up.

It's not easy to see yourself catching yourself.

Karen "worked so hard" to cooperate with the knights to arrest her for three days, and it was also an investigation and an exploration scene.

Three nights later, Hannah and Jenna handed over [-] gold coins to Karen and Han Jiang.

That night, two people carried gold coins on their backs and began to distribute gold coins in the lower city. There were two in each family.

Han Jiang also finally felt the feeling of a grand thief.

The gold coins snatched from the wicked are not taken by themselves, and all are distributed to the poor in need.

This kind of chivalrous feeling is really refreshing, and there is a strong sense of pride.

But Han Jiang knows that such an approach can only satisfy him for a while, and is not the crux of the problem.

If you want to completely solve the crux of the problem, you have to clean up the cancer inside the destiny.

Don't look at Otto as a villain, but everything he does is beneficial to the general public.

Whether it's artificial stigmata or various experiments, they have protected many ordinary people.

In the past few days, Han Jiang even saw Honkai Beasts in the holy city, and they were all quickly dealt with by the Knights.

The Houkai beasts of this period were not strong, but humans were weaker.

Every time the Honkai Beast appears, the members of the Knights have to drop a few corpses to completely solve it. This cannot be said that the Church of Destiny is only for its own safety, and they also protect the people.

Of course, what Otto did was understandable, but not forgivable.

Because the person who can forgive Otto is often not the part that made the sacrifice.

The world is like this. From the perspective of not being infringed on interests, one can be generous with the generosity of others and forgive some people who have committed serious crimes.

Otto defended one side and had nothing to say, but what he did was still unforgivable.

Fu Hua has also defended Shenzhou for thousands of years, so why doesn't she harm ordinary people and use people to do various experiments?
The hateful thing about Otto is that the ultimate goal of everything he does is for himself, and protecting others is just incidental.

And Fu Hua is wholeheartedly for others.

Otto cannot be completely denied, nor can Otto be completely forgiven. This is what gives Han Jiang the most headache.

There is no Otto in this world bubble, so Han Jiang wants to see how the Church of Destiny in the 14th century would develop without Otto.

This is the way forward that Han Jiang could not have foreseen, and it is also the future that Karen, Jenna and others could not have imagined.

In the next few days, Karen got the list that Jenna investigated, and all the nobles in the holy city stayed behind closed doors, lest they find the warning letter of the strange thief appearing on their dining table.
