All the contract girls want to marry me

Therefore, they brush each other's records every day and improve together.

After the fight, Andre went back to replenish his strength, while Zero went into the library to read the books in the [Destiny Library].

Matthew and Zero signed a blank contract similar to that of Diana. After Zero swore to keep the secret to Poseidon, Matthew gave her the power to enter his home.

Although Zero is powerful, her weight-bearing level is extremely low, to be precise, it is the lowest in theory.

As the name suggests, her hidden weight value is 0 at the white level.

Matthew doesn't have to pay any extra price to sign a contract with her, because white contractors don't occupy the quota and can sign as many as they want.But this also means that he does not gain much.

Unless Zero can break through the super level or awaken to a higher level.

Matthew had no hope of doing so.

To awaken from white to green, you need a hidden weight value of more than 1.98. Even if the conditions are relaxed, it must not be lower than 1.95. Miss Zero, who has a hidden value of 0, cannot awaken anyway.

Matthew promised to give Zero a real soul, but this was a long-term goal, and Zero was not in a hurry.

Just as Matthew had no hope for her, she had no hope for Matthew either.

Even the great Poseidon and the second God-King Niord was unable to do this. Can Matthew do it?What a joke, unless Matthew is the God of Souls Camoranesi himself or has the complete inheritance of the God of Souls.

However, the God of Souls has long since disappeared, and the inheritance has not continued.

Zero quickly forgot about it.

She lived happily with Matthew, with Andre as a quality sparring partner, a large library of books, and most importantly, she had freedom.

She had always hoped that Poseidon was still alive, but after she signed a soul contract with Matthew, she knew that Poseidon was gone.

The reason is simple. She is a puppet created by Poseidon. Although she does not have a complete soul, she has four soul fragments and can also sign a soul contract.

If Poseidon is still alive, she will not be able to sign a contract with anyone else unless the new contract owner is also a god.

Matthew was just a mortal, not a god, she knew that.

At the moment the contract was established, Zero sighed helplessly and accepted his fate.

The only thing that made her feel a little confused was that since the Poseidon had completely fallen, who was it that kept summoning sacrifices in the underwater temple?

There was something that Zero never dared to tell Matthew.

Not everyone who sent the sacrifices could reach Poseidon Temple.At least one-tenth of the sacrifices disappeared inexplicably on the way to the Poseidon Temple.

She didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, she just feels horrified.

Under the deep sea, there is a mysterious and powerful being who, under the guise of the Poseidon, asks for sacrifices from the survivors of the deep sea and selects and devours some of the sacrifices that suit his appetite.

This has happened at least hundreds of times.

Zero was deeply worried about this.

The reason why she didn't want to share it with Matthew was simple. It was pointless and would only add to her worries.

Matthew now only has mortal level strength, and if a true god level powerhouse blows on him, he will be gone.At least wait until Matthew reaches the peak of his super level before telling him, Zero thought silently, hiding this secret deep in his heart.

Matthew didn't know what Zero was thinking. He was very happy to see Zero happily integrating into human society.

He gave Ling a special pair of glasses, which could cover Ling's unusual eyes so that she wouldn't be so dazzling.

With his return, order in the territory returned to normal.

Everyone is busy in an nervous and orderly manner.

One day in early August, a handwritten letter was delivered to Matthew's castle.Seeing the signature of the letter, Matthew remembered an almost forgotten person.

Diocesan Bishop Klein.

Matthew was a little confused. What was the reason why the bishop wanted to talk to him in secret?

Chapter 143 If you are sick, you must be treated

Although he was a little confused about Klein's purpose, Matthew decided to accept the invitation.

Although Bishop Klein had a mediocre relationship with him in the past few months, he was indeed a capable and devout believer who managed the diocese's academic affairs in an orderly manner.

Although we are not on the same page, Bishop Klein is indeed worthy of respect.He proposed a meeting, and of course Matthew wouldn't refuse.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Matthew quietly came to the recently built cathedral outside the city.

Matthew had been at Poseidon Temple for the past few months, and he was not there when the Great Temple was built. This was his first time here.

Seeing this big church, Matthew was almost stunned.

Is this considered a great church?

Maybe it is indeed a holy church, but this big character has nothing to do with it.

Seeing that there was a small gap in the prayer room in the church, and there was a faint light inside, Matthew knew that this was the place where the bishop came to have a secret talk with him, so he walked over calmly.

Sure enough, Bishop Klein was waiting for him in the prayer room.

Klein casually flipped through the Holy Scriptures. When he saw Matthew arriving, he did not stand up to greet him in a pretentious manner. Instead, he casually pointed to the seat opposite and motioned for Matthew to sit down.

There was a warm smile on his lips, which gave Matthew the feeling that it was not like a secret conversation, but like a meeting with old friends.

Although they had only met each other a few times, they were far from friends.

Matthew sat down opposite Klein. The bishop put down the holy book and poured tea for Matthew.

"Master Matthew, would you like a glass of wine?"

"Does the Bishop drink too?"

"I don't drink, but I will defend to the death other people's right to drink." Klein said calmly.

Matthew looked at Klein, trying to discern something from his words.

Looking at Matthew's thoughtful look, Klein smiled slightly and said softly:

"Master Matthew, although we have not met many times, I know that you are a straightforward person, and I happen to be the same. If I want to discuss a deal with you, I will say it directly instead of beating around the bush. .”

Matthew was impressed by the bishop.

He smiled and said: "Bishop Klein, I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person. I thought..."

"Think I'm a stubborn old-fashioned?" Klein teased softly. As long as you cheat on yourself quickly enough, others won't be able to cheat on you. He also understands this truth.

Matthew smiled and picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and asked softly: "I thought the bishop came to me to discuss cooperation, but I didn't expect that he just wanted to drink a cup of tea."

"No, you guessed it right. I came to you to discuss cooperation. It doesn't hurt to just have a cup of tea before cooperation."

Klein also took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Master Matthew, what do you think of this tea?"

Matthew wanted to compliment him against his will, but looking at Klein's clear eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.

"With all due respect, although these tea leaves are not of poor quality, they are definitely not good tea. If the bishop wants to taste tea, I can provide some."

"Master Matthew, you are very frank." Klein said with a smile: "This is a small can of ordinary tea for 15 livres."

Matthew put down the tea cup, suppressed his smile, and said seriously:

"Bishop Klein, you are the candidate for bishop recommended by Miss Diana. She has emphasized more than once that your character is unquestionable, so I am so frank in front of you."

"If you have any suggestions, just say so."

Klein's expression became increasingly serious, and he asked in a low voice: "Lord Matthew, what do you think of the current Holy See?"

Matthew hesitated a little, thinking about what Klein meant by asking this sentence.Is it a test or a trap?

After three seconds, Matthew dismissed his doubts and decided to speak out.

It doesn't matter if the Holy See doesn't like him, it has to be suppressed.Even if he gives in, will the Holy See forgive him?Since there is no room for reconciliation between the two parties, why should we tolerate their shortcomings?

Matthew snorted and said with a bit of disdain: "The current Holy See is just a decadent organization wearing a sacred cloak. Everything the Holy See does is consuming the reputation accumulated in the past."

"The higher-ups of the Holy See may have forgotten that believers believe in the Lord of Holy Light, not them."

Anyway, after everything was said, Matthew naturally had no inhibitions. He listed the many crimes of the Holy See one by one.

Klein remained silent.As a backbone of the Holy See, he certainly knows what Matthew said.He also thought that the reputation of the Holy See in the eyes of nobles and ordinary believers must not be good, but Matthew's words still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

It turns out that the Holy See has become so unpopular?

Anyway, he had already started, and Matthew didn't bother to worry about the diocese bishop of the Holy See sitting across from him. He turned into a Zaun madman and sprayed the Holy See's perverse ways.

According to him, it was a mistake for an organization like the Holy See, which had long since died, to still be alive.

Klein was somewhat unconvinced at first and tried to refute a few words, but his eloquent skills were meaningless in the face of Matthew's machine gun-like speaking speed and the hard facts.

Finally, Klein hung his head and remained silent, like a primary school student who made a mistake and was scolded by the teacher.

Seeing that Klein didn't dare to speak, Matthew also restrained himself a bit.

Although the Holy See is not a good person, not every clergy is bad.At least the one sitting opposite him is pretty good.

Matthew said softly: "Sorry, I said some rude words in front of you. These things I said do not include you."

Klein raised his head suddenly and sighed softly, his voice a little wavy.

"Master Matthew, you are right. Although there are many people within the Holy See who have firm beliefs and have not forgotten their original intentions, it is an indisputable fact that there are more and more scoundrels who do not abide by the precepts."

"There is a problem in the Holy See. It's ridiculous that those high-level officials don't want to solve the problem, they just want to cover their mouths. They think that the problem can be solved by getting rid of all the people who raised the problem."

"These people are not worthy of being servants of the Lord of Holy Light, let alone sitting in high positions."

Matthew didn't expect Klein to say such things, but he felt a little relieved.Klein definitely didn't dare to tell the truth. Based on what he said just now, his death would be much uglier than Matthew's.

Even if Matthew offended the Holy See, he could still act as an earthbound spirit in his own territory, but since Klein was a clergyman, the Holy See only needed to send a law enforcement team to kill him.

His criticism of the higher-ups of the Holy See is much more dangerous than Matthew's.

Although it was enjoyable to hear Klein scold the Holy See, Matthew still kindly reminded him: "Bishop Klein, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"

Klein took a deep breath, lowered his voice and asked, "I want to change the status quo, and I need your help! Lord Matthew, are you willing to be my supporter?"

Matthew hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "What do you plan to do, Lord Bishop?"

"I want to help the Pope and several cardinals carry out reforms within the Holy See, cleanse the scum that tarnish the reputation of the Holy See, and get the Holy See back on track."

Matthew looked at Klein and was stunned for a long time, unable to say a word.After a long time, he slowly shook his head and said: "If that's the case, I don't think there is any value in cooperation between us."

Klein looked at Matthew in confusion and asked with a hint of anger, "Why?"

Matthew said softly: "If one person has a problem, it must be an individual problem; if a group of people have a problem, it is probably these people's problem; but what if most people have a problem? "

Klein's body shook violently, and he looked at Matthew in disbelief. He licked his lips a few times, but couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Klein's persistence had wavered, Matthew chuckled and said, "Bishop Klein, do you want to continue to pretend to be confused? You clearly know what the problem with the Holy See is!"

"The problem with the Holy See is not the right to interpret doctrine, nor the grassroots priests, but the Holy Sophia Cathedral in the imperial capital, the pope wearing the triple crown and those fat-headed senior officials!"

"If you don't even have the courage to face the facts, I don't think we have anything to say."

Matthew's series of heavy blows made Klein's face turn pale instantly.

There was no color on his face, and his lips were trembling slightly.Of course he knew what Matthew said.But there is still his teacher in Saint Sophia Cathedral.

What he wanted to do was to patch up the existing framework, but Matthew's proposal was to smash the old world and establish a new order.

Bishop Klein's heart was beating wildly, almost bursting out of his chest.

Seeing Klein's mood wavering, Matthew knew that the time had come and directly gave him a slap on the head: "Bishop Klein, do you think you are a devout believer?"

"of course!"

"You fart!"

Matthew swore bluntly, and with Klein's stunned expression, he said loudly:

"Knowing that the current Vatican is terminally ill, but yet you dare not face the problem head-on, and still want to fix the symptoms but not the root cause. When the Vatican is swept into the garbage heap of history, you will also be a sinner!"

Matthew stood on the moral high ground and criticized people. He had seen this method many times before traveling through time.

For example, the teacher always likes to use bullshit tactics like "If you delay everyone for 1 minute, then you have delayed 75 minutes" after picking up the students who are talking in class.

What he said was a bit unreasonable.

Klein is just a diocesan bishop, and he is not a senior member of the Holy See. What can he change?Even if the Holy See is indeed swept into the dustbin of history one day, the biggest sinner will definitely not be Klein.

Although Matthew's words were somewhat morally kidnapped, Klein still felt a sense of crisis when he heard that the Holy See was about to be destroyed.

It’s just that he couldn’t agree with Matthew’s judgment.

"Master Matthew, don't be alarmist. The Holy See has demigod-level powerful men, many super powerful men, hundreds of thousands of protective knights, and the support of hundreds of millions of believers. How is it possible..."
