Goddess Wanhua Mirror

At this time, what kind of changes will happen to this god?

These assumptions and guesses were verified by Hume not long afterwards.

Under normal circumstances, Lude divides the gods into two categories, one is the great gods of the world, such as the Yusanjia and the Mother Earth Goddess, these are the upper gods known to everyone in the world, while other gods are generally They are all small regional gods, known only in their parishes.

But no matter which category it is, the internal teachings of these large and small sects are at least unified and fixed.But Hume is a very special existence among all the gods, or a wonderful thing.

On the one hand, because of the status of the "God of Thieves", she has a large number of believers with a very wide branch, but also because of the relationship between the gods, the believers of the God of Thieves do not have a unified sect organization like the Yusanjia. She unifies teachings and beliefs throughout the world.

As a result, scattered believers and teachings that have never been unified have led to the formation of independent "belief ecosystems", and Hume himself also went to the doctor because of his illness, and he ended up forming large and small groups around the world that believe in the God of Thieves. The underground religious order, as a result, exacerbates the problem.

Everyone believes in the God of Thieves, but they are not all the same God of Thieves.

This is the main reason why fakes can be produced. Kumilad called her the "heteromorph" of the God of Thieves, while Lude secretly called her "Hume Lily" or "Black Hand Hume". Brotherhood is the belief ecosystem that was born.

But just like all believers who believe in the God of Thieves, although the Black Hand Brotherhood has great influence in Yanwood City, they dare not openly put themselves in the sun after all. The million people in Yanwood City really know and believe in Black Hand Hume. That is tens of thousands of people, and they are not necessarily pious.

So what Lude has to do now is to fill this closed ecological circle with people. These people have watched "The Cave King" and unknowingly accepted the setting and setting of the thief god Hume in the play. , when the time comes, it will not be certain who is who's colleague.

Under Lude's operation, the brand-new image of God of Thieves began to spread widely throughout Yanwood City, with the help of "King of the Rocks" to crazily harvest beliefs, and all of this was carried out under the nose of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand. Nothing is known about the coming crisis.

At this time, within the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, several elders still focused all their energies on the competition for the position of president. Even Xueli, the "snake woman" who originally wanted to remain neutral, was also forced to die because of her meeting with the necromancer Dick. On the one hand, he was forced to join the battle.

However, among all the elders, Hu En, who has the greatest chance of winning, is still the leader of the Navarro family. If he fights alone, the other elders will not be his opponents.

As the richest man in the city and the owner of the largest chamber of commerce, the private manor of the Navarro family is located in the western suburbs of Yanmu City. Brother Juan is in charge.

Many people in the outside world only know that the Navarro family is rich and well-connected, but they don't know that this family was once a well-known alchemy family, and has produced many bigwigs in this field.

And Hu En, who has been praised as a "genius businessman" since he was a child, is also a capable alchemist himself.Now that he is old, he will hand over the business to his trusted cousin, while he lives in seclusion in the manor, spending a lot of time every day studying alchemy.

Because of his inherently weak constitution, and the fact that he is often exposed to toxic and harmful substances when studying alchemy, the 55-year-old Hu En has always been in a very early physical condition. If one only looks at the appearance, it is easy to be mistaken for a [-]-year-old and [-]-year-old. old man.

In contrast, Juan, who is only a few years younger than him, is in excellent health. He has to go to the silver house to vent fire every now and then, and he is a good friend with Bishop August of the Holy Church of Light.

Many people in the family felt that the old patriarch might last another three to five years at most, but his appointed heir Trin was brought back from the outside by the family guards who had killed and injured more than half of them in half a year.

Everyone was worried at the time whether the frail old guy would die on the spot because he couldn't bear the bad news.As a result, the other party just inspected the "remains" of the young master Trin with no sorrow or joy on his face, and then calmly ordered his servants to send the remains to the basement of the castle, where there is Hu En's alchemy laboratory, and put it inside Stored in a special cold storage.

End of this chapter

Anyone who knows Hu En knows that this thin and weak man who always looks sick is actually a ruthless character who must take revenge. He has always been known in the world for his honesty. The kind I've ever had!

And this time it happened to his beloved eldest son, the future heir of the Navarro family, so many people who are familiar with his personality feel that as long as this old man doesn't die on the spot because of excessive grief, it must be Set off a terrible bloody storm.

But to everyone's surprise, the old Hu En actually endured it. Even when the necromancer Dick reappeared in Yanmu City, Hu En didn't say anything. He just hid in his alchemy laboratory and didn't know I'm tinkering with something.

Seeing his once respected and feared cousin so depressed, Juan couldn't sit still. He approached Hu En several times, hoping that the other party could stand up again, but it was useless to say anything.The old man was not even willing to bury Tring's body in the family cemetery, and said inexplicably that the child was not dead, and he had a way to revive him, making Juan feel that his cousin was really old.

For so many years, Juan has been conscientiously serving as a pawn for his cousin. He is not without ambition, but he is aware of his own weight.

Back then when his peers were fighting for the right to inherit, Juan knew that he was not a direct descendant, his biological father was a married man, and he was a soft-spoken person in the family, and he himself lacked ruthlessness, but he had self-knowledge and a bit of knowing wink, so He hugged his cousin Hu En's thigh early.

Because he could see that Hu En was a ruthless man, possessing the killing spirit that he lacked most.And what happened later proved that he made the right choice. Hu En not only took the position of Patriarch, but also wiped out all the other brothers and sisters who participated in the competition, and Juan survived.

So Juan has been loyal to Hu En for most of his life and obeyed his cousin.If there was any objection to it, it was probably on the fact that Litlin was the eldest son.

In Juan's view, his cousin, who has always been shrewd in making decisions and seldom omits any omissions, is extremely seldom ignorant when it comes to this important matter that concerns the future of the entire family.Trin was not a qualified heir at all, there were so many sons who were better than him, but Hu En was optimistic about Trin, and insisted on making him the eldest son despite the opposition of others.

Juan was also helpless, but he couldn't stand Hu En's one-sidedness, so he had no choice but to give up.This time when Tring was brought back, Juan actually breathed a sigh of relief in private. He thought that this person is nothing to lose. Did your old man choose a more suitable heir, but Hu En couldn't follow? As willing to accept the fact, he also said that he could bring Tring back to life.

Those priests' great resurrection skills are not easy to use. Where do you have the confidence to pull people up again?

Seeing that his cousin who was always respected in the past has turned into such a stubborn old fool, Juan only felt that he should have made preparations earlier.

Don't look at Hu En's physical condition, but it has little impact on that aspect. Thanks to his many wives and many children, there are now about ten adult males alone, which can be said to be overwhelming. Most of the skills are better than the ignorant Tring.

Juan didn't think about replacing his cousin, because he knew he couldn't sit in that position, and if he really wanted to go up, he would probably be pushed down by the people below soon, and the position of "Master" was still safe. , and more suitable for yourself.

Therefore, during this period of time, Juan had contacted several nephews in private, and listened to their words and true thoughts a little bit. At the same time, he also made a secret assessment to see who would be the most beneficial for him to support to become the head of the family.

And there is another thing that Juan is also very concerned about, and that is the selection of the president of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand.It has been a while since the former president announced his abdication to let Xian, leaving a message specifying that several elders will compete, which directly led to the current tense atmosphere within the Brotherhood.

Normally, Hu En is the most promising candidate for the position, but the appearance of his cousin in such a sinking state makes Juan feel very uneasy.

The emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuchs. Juan never thought that there would be a day when the entire Navarro family would have to stand up and take the lead. It made him feel that his mental pressure had exploded during this period, and he urgently needed to go out and have some fun and relax.

So Juan changed into casual clothes, and went out to a courtyard near the Tianlai Opera House. This was the residence of Katie, the leader of the Feixia Song and Dance Troupe. Hu En often had trysts with her here.

Compared with the girls in the silver house, Juan prefers to come to Katie. Although this girl is a big bitch who can do her best, and she can meet nine men who have had sex with her when she goes out to eat, but At any rate, she is a well-known star in Yanmu City, has more status than a prostitute, and is very good at pleasing men.

Juan has never been sincere to Katie, he knows why the other party wants to please him, and he only treats the other party as a plaything, and they are very relaxed with each other.

As usual, Juan bought some cheap gifts on the way here, and while going upstairs through the back door, he thought about whether he should go through the back door after a long absence, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw Katie Sitting by the coffee table, with a slumped face, he seemed to be worrying about something.

So Juan shook the gift box in his hand from the other party, and said to Katie with a smile.

"Baby, I'm here to see you! What's the matter? Frowning. Who made you angry? Tell me, and I'll help you out."

Seeing that it was Juan, Katie didn't talk to her, but gave her a coquettish look.Juan came to her side without paying attention, stretched out his hand to wipe Katie's exposed fragrant shoulders, felt the delicate skin with his fingertips, and looked over the shoulders, overlooking the mountains and ravines from above.

"Honey, I miss you."

"Hmph! You men are all liars. You say you miss me, but you miss my body, right?"

"Haha, it's not all the same!"

"They're all liars," but Katie didn't resist the man behind her getting his hand into her neckline.At this time, Juan lowered his head and kissed Katie's slender neck, and whispered in her ear.

"Tell me, why are you bothered?"

"Why are you bothered? You go out and ask, what is the hottest drama in Yanmu City right now, and you will know."

"Is that the Cave King? I went out of the city a while ago to run some errands, and I just came back yesterday, so I really don't know! A group of actors from other places don't understand the rules. If you don't like them, then I'll ask my subordinates to deal with it a little bit." 'Come on, this little thing is... not difficult for your brother Juan."

End of this chapter

After spending the night at Katie's residence, Juan went out refreshed early the next morning. When he came back, he called a confidant and asked him to check the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe. The key point was whether the other party had any special background?

Don't look at Juan's happy promise yesterday to help Katie get ahead, but he has been the "second head" of the Navarro family for so many years, and he can live well until now, becoming the most famous person in Yanmu City. Naturally, it depends on ability and brains, not background and then luck.

The water in Yanmu City is very deep, and many things will affect the whole body, so it is not a big mistake to act carefully.

As a result, after checking it, many problems were found.Although the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe is a foreign team, the sponsor behind it is not an unknown person, but the Medicine God Sect, which has gained fame in recent years.This sect is famous for all kinds of magical potions with outstanding effects. Juan himself has used them, and the effects are indeed amazing!

In addition, they are also very popular in the local area because of the new drama "The Cave King".On the day of the premiere, there were many big names, such as the castellan's family, Archbishop August, and even Jed, who also belonged to the Brotherhood of the Black Hand. So many bigwigs showed up to show the problem.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Juan couldn't help muttering in his heart, that bitch really did a big job for him.

If it's an ordinary unknown character, just relying on his great reputation as Hu Erye, he can casually send a message to his subordinates, as long as the opposite party is not an idiot, he will definitely leave immediately.But the situation of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe is obviously different. If I really do this, I might cause public outrage.

No matter how you think about it, it's a little wrong to make a show for no reason in order to please a bitch.After thinking about it, Hu An thought it was not worth it, so he asked his subordinates again.

"This Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, do they plan to stay permanently?"

"It doesn't seem to be there. I've inquired about it. They're going to go north next month and go on tour in other cities."

"oh, I see!"

Hearing his subordinates say that the rainbow singing and dancing map will not be permanent in Yanmu City, and will leave in two months at most, Juan secretly heaves a sigh of relief, thinking that this will be easy to handle, it’s great not to look for it in the next two months Katie, wait for this Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe to leave by itself, and just buy some small gifts to coax them.

So Juan had an idea in his mind, and without saying anything, he waved his hands to let his subordinates go down first.But at this moment, he didn't realize that just because he didn't say anything at the moment, the subordinates who were sent away by him had some unnecessary associations for no reason.

The subordinate who was sent away was named Maru, who was different from ordinary boys. Because this kid had a beautiful older sister, and he also climbed into Juan's bed very wisely, so Maru got a relatively easy job. Poor, being called by Juan to listen to him, the main purpose is to be a mouthpiece for running errands, as long as his memory is good and his mouth is tighter, so he doesn't need any great skills.

And Maru has indeed done a good job, running errands for himself all the time.Juan saw that he was still able to do things neatly, so he felt relieved and reluctantly used him as a confidant who was responsible for doing chores. The really important things were only other (capable) confidants for him to order.

But the problem is, Juan sees that this kid is not very capable, and he only gives him some trivial things to do on weekdays, but Maru himself gradually feels better, thinking that Master Juan asked him to listen to him because he appreciates him "Talent".In addition, he has been doing a good job in the past few months, and he has received a few flattering compliments, so he floated up unknowingly, thinking that he is doing well, and he should share more worries for his brother-in-law.

So Maru was sent away, and Juan himself quickly left the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe behind and concentrated on more important business at hand, but Maru didn't think so, thinking that the opportunity to perform that he had always wanted had finally come.

In his opinion, when his brother-in-law inquired about the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, nine out of ten he fell in love with this popular song and dance troupe, and wanted to forcibly acquire it and include it in the Navarro family's property.

So out of the gate of Juan's office, Maru trotted straight to Feng Street in Xicheng District. This is where the slums of Yanmu City are located. Dead to life, so fearless bastard.

After Maru came over, he found his cousin, Muffin, who was the boss of a low-level gang in Mouse Street. Mucheng has never been popular, always looking for opportunities to get close to the real big brother.

Maru found Muffin and told him that he had a good job here. After finishing it, he might have a chance to be appreciated by Master Juan and work under Navarro's house just like himself.It's better to be a guard dog of a wealthy family than a wild dog who can't get enough to eat.

As soon as Muffin heard that there was such a good thing, she immediately said that she would wrap it on herself.

The sorrow of the bottom gangsters is nothing more than this. They have little vision and little knowledge, and they do things blindly and recklessly, but sometimes it is precisely these simple-minded fools who promote the development of the situation.

On the other hand, Lude's plan is proceeding in an orderly manner. The large-scale promotion of "The Cave King" has caused Hume's belief to surge sharply in a short period of time, rapidly diluting the original local belief concentration.This strange change, I believe the counterfeit side must have noticed it.

But at this time, Lu De was not afraid of the opponent's attack at all, and even hoped that the opponent would take the initiative to show his face.

Because Lude can already confirm that, at least here in Yanmu City, fakes have no other "god-level" helpers.As long as the opponent appeared, Lude had already prepared to launch a siege immediately, relying on his overwhelming advantage in "God Number", he would capture the fake on the spot.

It is true that the gods cannot be killed by ordinary means, but just like the "curse of chopping hands" imposed on Hume by the God of War, there are still means of restraint.

Once the other party is caught, the next thing will be easy to handle.At that time, the fake products can only watch him put the "pineapple" on the pizza like the Italian who was held down by the evil Yankee.

However, after waiting for a few days, Lu De found that the fakes were more calm than he expected. He didn't know whether he was overly cautious or simply cowardly. As the drama continued to spread, the influence became stronger and stronger.

This kind of quietness made Lu De a little uneasy. He always felt that the other party also had actions that he didn't understand, but he couldn't guess what it was for a while.

And just as Lude was analyzing the current situation to see if there was anything she hadn't noticed, Servis suddenly found Lude anxiously and brought a piece of bad news.

"Master, it's not good, Barr has been taken away."

End of this chapter

Hearing Sevis's obviously panicked shout, Lude was stunned for a moment, and then he thought for a while before finally realizing that Barr is an actor of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, and at the same time played the young version of Edmond and Albert these two roles.

Thanks to the popularity of "The Cave King", Barr is now considered a celebrity in Yanmu City, and he can always be recognized when he goes shopping on weekdays.

Lu De had a good impression of this young man at the beginning. He was an old member of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe. He had met him as early as in Pine Town.

But this time when they met in Yanwood City, Lu De pretended to be Hugo, and only Servis knew his real identity. He suddenly found that this Barr would look at him with strange eyes from time to time, and finally asked Servis Only then did he know that this child...is not very straightforward in some ways.

After learning the truth, Lu De deliberately alienated the other party.

Servis told Lude that Barr went out in the morning, saying that he was going to look for local products in Yanmu City, and when he returned north and passed by his hometown, he would bring some back to his family as souvenirs.

As a result, seeing that the first show was about to start today, Barr hadn’t come back since he went out, but the theater received a blackmail letter from a beggar who was said to be sent by the kidnappers, demanding a ransom of [-] gold coins. , They are limited to prepare within three days, and at the same time they must not announce it to the outside world.

After reading the blackmail letter, Serves knew that it was impossible to solve this matter in a short period of time by relying on her own strength, so she decisively asked the powerful master Luther for help.

After receiving the blackmail letter from Serves, Lu De took a quick glance, and only said that the troupe should prepare the ransom, but he didn't say when and where the ransom should be paid, so he turned to Serves and asked.

"Barr went out this morning, right? Do you know where he went?"

"He didn't say where he was going, but he assured me that he would be back within two hours at most, and he would definitely not delay the performance."

"Within two hours... Alvette will bring you the map."

According to Lude's order, Alvette immediately fetched a topographic map of Yanmu City.Servis was taken aback when she saw the map, because she found that it was not an ordinary map, but a city defense map, which is a so-called military-grade map, on which every street and alley in the city was detailed and scaled. Draw clearly.

Normally, only the city lord and the high-level generals of the city guard can hold this thing. Ordinary people who have this in their hands will be beheaded!

For a moment, Servis couldn't help panicking.

"Master, why do you have this?"

"Of course it is to deal with a situation like this, otherwise?"

Rolling an angry look at Serves, Lude took the ruler and compass and made a circle on the map centered on the Skyline Opera House, and then marked all the places with shops in this area.

Lude looked at a few points on the map and said without raising his head.

"Yarvette, call the (heroic spirit) team to assemble, and each group of three will take a searcher to these locations on the map. Serves, please go and get some of Barr's personal items, which will be needed for tracking."

Under Lu De's order, the remaining 12 members of the Heroic Spirit team rushed to the theater and stood by in groups.The searcher is a special individual among the heroic spirits, and the tracking ability has been strengthened in a targeted manner.Although it's not a good idea to describe girls as dogs, they do take on the role of hounds.

And Sevis also brought some of Barr's personal belongings, a bunch of pink bunny dolls, so macho that people couldn't look directly at them!

"The groups are starting to act now. Don't act rashly after finding the target. Wait for my further instructions. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" x12

"set off!"

After the heroic spirit team was dispatched, Lude asked Serves to wait until the start of the show to issue an announcement, saying that there was a temporary change of actors in today's show, and he asked reserve actors to replace one scene temporarily, and he will hurry up to rescue.

The No. [-] male lead of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe was kidnapped. Lu De's first suspect was naturally interested Katie. Her suspicion was undoubtedly the biggest.But Lude faintly felt that something was wrong.
