Mysterious as the Wind, Always With Me
Chapter 15
Three hours later, it was dawn.
This dark night full of all kinds of chaos finally came to an end.
The attack on the House of Earl Dao An made the whole city restless. Originally, the city guards would interfere, but the three major churches announced that they would join forces to exterminate the cultists. This battle, not to mention the city guards, could not be suppressed by the royal guards.
Soon, the church side presented a large amount of evidence, standard human and material evidence, not only killed a high-ranking priest of [Jealous] and a large number of cultists, but also found a large-scale evil altar and rescued a large number of people who were about to be killed. Missing members of the various orthodox churches used as sacrifices, as well as many civilians.
A noble earl, or a direct vassal of the emperor, has fallen. The pot was so big that even the Wright Royal Family couldn't handle it, so they sent members of the royal family to the four major churches to apologize.
Here, Mark, who received the news from the night watchman, was stunned.
The bad luck thing can be said to be hard to guard against. No existence knows how bad luck will come to the target. Even the 20-sided dice does not give a specific way for bad luck to come.
A [jealous] high-ranking priest died suddenly. If this happened suddenly, Mark would inevitably become one of the suspects.
After all, he is the party involved, and he also has a motive for revenge.
Not to mention the leaders of other churches, even the Church of Light had to scrutinize Mark.
When it comes to four separate churches, the truth becomes a speck of dust thrown into a vat of mush and can't be found.
In the Cathedral of Light in St. Leiden City, Pastor Albert rubbed his eyebrows, and the wrinkles on his forehead were not stretched out by the movements of his hands.
The desk is full of reports from the Night's Watch, as well as letters of notification from the three churches.
After watching for a long time, Pastor Albert only put down one comment: "Bullshit!"
The man with three golden feather ornaments on his chest came over and looked at it again, and he couldn't help laughing.
The Church of Storms said that one of their sailors felt that a servant of Count Daoan's family was jealous of his wealth, so he proposed to copy the Count's family, and then the church fighting priest Renn, who was in charge, agreed, and pulled a dozen carts of people over to make trouble.
Fortune and the Church of Dionysus said that they had commissioned high-level mercenaries to investigate the incident, and then the two teams of mercenaries checked and found clues and carried out two clumsy infiltrations.
The mercenaries of the Church of Fortune were a little more professional. A few of them sneaked into the Earl's Palace by hiding in the carriages that transported daily necessities.
The guys invited by Bacchus were the most unprofessional. They smashed the side door of the Earl's Mansion. They wore armor and walked all the way to the mansion without encountering any obstacles. Finally, they saw the dressing room at the entrance of the gate and left go in.
Just send one of these three notification reports, and Albert will feel that the other party is insulting his IQ.
Three together, that's outrageous.
What's more, the priests who sent an official letter from the Church of Fortune and Dionysus added a comment - they could not be sure of the authenticity of the words of their mercenaries.
Albert turned to look at the man in black: "Douglas, what do you think?"
The man known as Douglas took off his hood, revealing a pale middle-aged face. He was so ordinary that he could not be recognized immediately after being thrown on any street in the Wright Empire, and he belonged to an authentic passerby face.
He shook his head: "I don't see it much. [Jealous] Are there still few enemies in the church? I only see that this is a very real blow."
The seven [Dead Sins] and the four [Apocalypse] sects have never been of one mind. They not only attack the orthodox sects of the lawful and neutral camps, but also often the 'own people' who belong to the [Dead Sins] and [Apocalypse]. .
It is not uncommon for anyone to get revenge after doing too many sinful things.
This is a typical muddle.
The four churches were happy to be confused.
The revenge has been avenged, and it is time to give the believers an explanation.
This kind of vigorous revenge can also increase its popularity and attract a group of new believers to its own church.
This time, I found a top-secret list, which listed dozens of traitors who successfully lost their targets through the [jealousy] ceremony.
The people above included many of the backbone of the church, as well as the middle and lower class aristocrats.
Except for the loss of the star of hope, the heads of the various leaders were overjoyed.
Mark didn't know what was going on outside.
On the afternoon of the collapse of the [Jealous] St. Leiden chapter, Mark welcomed a less unexpected visitor.
"Lord Albert, why are you here?"
"Child, I have to come. It's better to clarify some things in person."
Obviously wearing the same robe, Albert just changed a purple-red four-cornered hat, representing a completely different status. That's a hat that regional bishops are qualified to wear.
The two night watchmen who originally protected Mark were not even qualified to watch the door. The door of his house was guarded by two apocryphal knights from the God of Light.
The other two guardian knights exuding powerful light energy fluctuations stood like sculptures in the corner of the living room of Mark's house.
"Your Excellency, what should I...what should I call you more appropriately?"
"No need to be cautious, child, I'm here on behalf of your grandfather this time."
"My grandfather?" Mark was stunned. After many calculations, most of the grandfather of the original owner of the body was not an idle pastor. But the origin of the "old man" seems to be unexpectedly exaggerated.
Albert said kindly: "I'm a direct disciple of Your Excellency Destiny, so legally, I'm also half your elder."
Mark saluted very knowingly: "I have seen my uncle!"
Albert nodded in relief: "Son, I'm sorry for dragging you down this time. We should have discovered the conspiracy against you earlier."
"Uh, I'm fine."
"It's fine." Albert hesitated for a while, but said, "Actually, dispatching the night watchman to protect you this time is my arbitrary decision. I can't bear to see Master's grandson suffer an accident."
"..." After a few seconds of silence, Mark said, "Grandpa, does he... have any difficulties?"
Albert pondered: "You were only three years old when your parents had an accident. Back then, your grandfather was in desperate need of an adult heir, so he had to choose your Erberaven instead. For your grandfather's allies, the key to the church was In the seat, there can only be one [Destiny], and there can be no [Destiny]. Son, when I say this, do you understand what I mean?"
When Mark heard this, he suddenly realized.
He has always been very strange, no matter how the original owner's family background is not bad. Why do you come to study alone, in a state of not worrying about eating and drinking?
Everything is answered.
To put it bluntly, it is based on the inheritance law of the entire Church of Light.
The status and power of the elders can only be inherited by the direct son. Once the direct son dies unexpectedly and the grandson is too young, the second son can be selected to inherit the family business.
But the second son has inherited, so when the grandson grows up, let the descendants of the second son go back and give up the inheritance right?
Especially in the Church of Light, this transfer of inheritance is irreversible.
Unless the descendants are rotten, the senior positions in the church are more hereditary, rather than ascending by strength.
In the high-level position of the church, one radish and one pit, not to mention political enemies, even the allies of the old man are not necessarily happy to see Mark and his second uncle ascend at the same time.
Seriously, Albert was so frank that Mark was relieved. He doesn't mind being a prodigal who will eat and wait to die after crossing the road. If he wants to be a magician, reciting the light mantras nervously all day long, he really can't stand it.
"I have long accepted Grandpa's arrangement. Just can you tell me, Uncle, what I can and can't do?"
Seeing that Mark was so reasonable, Albert breathed a sigh of relief. If this noble descendant of light insists on making trouble, he really doesn't know how to end it. After all, in this incident, Mark's performance was not as bad as he knew before, nothing but a face.
Have the courage, ability, and maybe a good blood talent.
If Mark is determined to compete with his second uncle, it will be a disaster for the Destiny camp. The Church of Light implements an electoral voting system. Political resources can only be concentrated on one person forever. Infighting in one's own camp will only divide the votes, which will eventually make political enemies cheaper.
Now that Mark is willing to back down, of course Albert is happy to be a good person: "You are not your grandfather's heir, and it stands to reason that you will not get any resources. However, as long as you do not join the Church of Light, or any enemy of the Church of Light If you don’t leave the Wright Empire, then the entire Church of Light will be your most solid backing.”
"That is, if I don't take the initiative to cause trouble..."
"You can mobilize a squad of night watchmen or apocryphal knights at any church of light or night."
interesting! Really fun!
The eldest son and grandson inherit everything, the second son, third son, and youngest son have nothing. When they grow up, they are self-reliant. This is the normal state of the world.
Even though we never met, Mark could still feel the deep love from his grandfather.
No one cares, you don't have to be a magician, you can always find the world's No. 1 church to block the gun, and if something goes wrong, you can still have the Guangming Church to help endorse it. Is there anything more cost-effective in this world?
Maybe there is, but unfortunately Mark can't think of it for the time being.
"Phew! I understand." Mark let out a long breath. For the first time, he felt that it might not be bad to travel to this different world.
After chatting for a while, Albert took the people away, leaving a bounty, which was a bounty from the Church of Fortune.
Should it be said that he lent his brother's money and only burned a check for his brother as a banker after his death? The old Dupont of Fortune Church said that the perpetrator was Galian, the night watchman. He said that the Church of the Night was also responsible, and he cut off a large portion of the bounty in a few strokes. In the end, Mark only got 20,000 lite dollars.
Mark scolded in his heart and wrote down the Fortune Church in a small notebook.
"Unfortunate!"
Aside from the living expenses that Grandpa calls every month, Mark found that he had less than 2,000 yuan in savings. Ben thought that a bounty of 100,000 would be enough for him to start a new life that did not involve life safety. In the end, only 20,000 yuan was left.
This amount of money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
It's probably only enough to give back to the three girls last night.
【Host, do you want to change your destiny? 】
"Of course!" After Mark answered without hesitation, his eyes immediately widened as big as copper bells.
20-sided dice, thrown out...
