The Fool of the Gods

There was no conversation that night.

As expected by Mimiyan, the people of the Church of Divine Education worked all night, organizing a large number of people to check suspicious traces in various places in Dolgod. They encountered many thieves, but did not find anything about pagans.

After all, there were no pagans in the first place. All this was just Lisfield taking advantage of the chaos to attack the father of the head of Tuladin.

Even if there were, the so-called "pagans" all hid in the ruins of the Inquisition, and these church personnel deliberately avoided this place during the search, so it was no wonder that they found nothing.

The next day, before dawn, Cheng Shi took Scorpio away from the main force and went to the place where Tuladin said he could meet Lisfield.

The two people obviously only rested for a few hours, but they did not show any signs of fatigue. They walked cautiously and quickly in the early morning crowd, looking for the target.

As for why Cheng Shi had to bring Scorpio, it was naturally because the power of [Time] was the easiest to visualize and the most visually impactful, whether it was used to deceive people or pretend to be cool, it was the best choice.

What's more, Scorpio is an assassin with sharp five senses. Even if he does nothing and simply acts as an alarm, it's not bad.

Scorpio naturally has no resistance to this arrangement. He wants to tie himself to Cheng Shi's legs to prevent Cheng Shi from running too fast and leaving him behind.

Speaking of this little assassin, he is the smartest person. Although his brain is not fast, he has been practicing what he said at the beginning, that is: treat the boss sincerely, and then rely on the boss to lead.

In terms of holding his teammates tightly, he has been consistent.

The two walked quickly, Scorpio looked at the surrounding environment vigilantly, Cheng Shi kept observing the crowd around him, and the faces of the people of Dolgod were obviously still a little uneasy. It can be seen that the chaos of yesterday has spread. Although the church has made the greatest efforts to control the situation, panic still spreads among the crowd.

After all, when God appears, ordinary people who don't know the inside story can't help but think of the situation in the worst way.

They were afraid of the spread of evil in Dolgod and the pagans hiding among the people, but they didn't know that at this moment, the biggest "pagan" was right beside them and heard their conversations clearly.

After walking for a while, Scorpio, who was following Cheng Shi, couldn't keep his composure. He frowned in confusion and asked uncertainly:

"Brother, where are we going?

Our direction is a bit wrong.

Picture... Didn't Avros say that Lisfield's house was behind the market northeast of the church, but I remember this road...

It seems to be the way back to the church?"

"You remember it well, this is the way back to the church."

"Ah?" Scorpio felt that he had been trying hard to keep up with Cheng Shi's thinking, but he still failed. This thigh seemed to never play cards according to common logic, and it seemed that he could not be regarded as following the plan without some accidents every time.

Cheng Shi smiled and said, "The plan has changed. We won't go to Lisfield anymore. Let's go directly to the church and find... Berrios."

Scorpio stumbled and said in shock:

"Headmaster? Are we going to find Tuladin's father?

No, brother, that's not what you said last night!"

"You said it was last night. The moon in the sky has now become the sun. Isn't it normal for me to change my plan?"

"..."

Scorpio forced a smile and followed behind obediently without saying anything.

He really wanted to have a smart brain like the [Foolish] believers, but he didn't. However, he was better than most of the [Foolish] believers in that he was honest and obedient, and he could put down his face.

Seeing that Scorpio didn't ask anymore, Cheng Shi smacked his lips, as if he remembered an old friend who was not very supportive, and then sighed, and explained himself instead.

"Tuladin said something right, faith, humanity and wisdom, people can only choose two out of three, guess which two her father Berrios chose?"

Scorpio thought for a moment, and said tentatively:

"Faith and wisdom?

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but he killed his own child, which should be considered inhumane."

Cheng Shi nodded, then shook his head:

"Half right, he really has no humanity, but...

He also has no faith.

I mean two out of three at most, of course there is a situation where only one can be chosen, and Berrios only chose wisdom.

He is a cunning and deep-minded power-grabber!"

"Ah?" Scorpio was stunned, then shook his head vigorously, "He is the head of the Divine Education Church, how could he not have faith?"

"This is also what I am most interested in. Think about it, Tualatin admits that her father is an old fox. But since even Tualatin can see through Lisfield's character, can't Berrios, as the head of the church, see it clearly?

I'm afraid not. As an opponent, Lisfield can understand her father better than Tualatin. Then, as an opponent, how could Berrios not understand Lisfield?

But even if he knew that the other party was a believer who specialized in power and was not so devout to their benefactor [Birth], the head of the church still did not deal with his opponent.

If he was a devout [Birth] believer, just the one of "not being pious to God" would be enough for him to throw Lisfield into the abyss.

But he didn't.

After thinking about it, I can only infer one conclusion, that is, our head of the church is not a devout person. He may deliberately indulge his opponent to do some small actions, and then establish his own image by clearing up the chaos, and constantly consolidate his authority.

This is a wise ruler, but not a devout believer.

The Church of Divine Education in Dolgod may be rotten to the core.

Since no one is devout and Berrios is also wielding power, why don't we cooperate with him directly, but find a middleman?

We can cooperate with him, benefit him, and achieve mutual success in the spread of Dolgod's evil beliefs. He consolidates his power and we build our own rumors about the Holy Child.

In this way, the church can gain a wave of admiration from citizens without making a big move, and with the help of the biggest insider, we can quietly go underground when the incident is over and end the trial happily.

Everyone is happy, isn't this good? "

Scorpio's eyes widened as he listened. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Cheng Shi with a trace of awe in his eyes.

Are the bosses with 2400 points so good at grasping people's hearts?

He really wanted to ask Cheng Shi what if he guessed wrong, but he opened and closed his mouth several times but didn't ask a word, because his subconscious told him that the boss's speculation was probably right. Everything that happened yesterday was still vivid in his mind. At least until now, the boss has not missed it.

"In this case, if the cooperation is negotiated, can we beat the scavenger into a real pagan and let the god of the church come down to eliminate...threats for us?"

Cheng Shi looked back at Scorpio with a little surprise, thinking that the little assassin was very smart. There were really few real fools in this segment.

"Good idea, but it won't work because the scavenger is dead and you are safe."

"??? "

Scorpio's body suddenly froze, and his mind was like a thunderclap, and he was completely stunned.

The Chosen One of [Annihilation] is dead?

How did he die? Was he killed by the Chosen One of [Prosperity] and the Chosen One of [Death]?

When? Oh, that thunder! The thunder that resounded through the world last night! It was at that time!!

So it was during the brief moment when these two disappeared that they worked together to kill the Scavenger!?

Hiss——

Is it so easy to kill the Chosen One?

"Brother, you guys..."

"We what?" Cheng Shi felt Scorpio's shock, and shook his head before he could ask, "It wasn't us who did it. God was unhappy last night and struck two thunderbolts, which happened to hit him on the head. When I saw him, he was already dead. It had nothing to do with me. "

Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you!

Scorpio didn't believe it at all, and his eyes almost glowed with admiration.

Brother, I want to discuss something with you, can you stick me to your thigh?

I want to improve so much, please guide me!
