53. Undercover and espionage

Before Barton could wait for Hewen to respond to Albina, he took the first step and asked:

"Mr. Wright, have you come to the church to find Bishop Alec? I'll let him know at once that he may need to wait a while. ”

Herwin shook his head:

"No, I'm just stopping by to see the progress of the church's construction, is Miss Albina also a devotee of the goddess?"

Albina smiled reservedly:

"Yes, my parents were devout believers, and so did I. ”

Barton added:

Miss Albina was also a generous believer, and although not as good as Mr. Wright, she and her parents were also patrons of the church. ”

Albina humbly said:

"This is what we should do, for every additional donation, one more person will bathe in the glory of the goddess and feel her flames. ”

Seeing this, Hewen said politely:

"I've seen the progress of the project, so I won't bother you, Father. ”

Barton replied:

"Where, where, with your contribution to us, Mr. Wright, I would not be able to overstate even if I spent days praying for you. ”

Hervin smiled and nodded, then used the few remaining illusions to create a stand-in that would return home from here, then hid his form and stood next to the two of them.

A good illusionist is also skilled at creating realistic images, distorting sounds, light, and smells, as well as interfering with other people's brains.

The most useful cooperation can be made according to the situation to create an illusion that cannot be seen.

It was certainly no coincidence that he chose to come today, because he had learned from Mary Anne that Barton was here today as the priest presiding over the service, and they had also found out that Alec was not in the church right now, so he acted like this.

Barton and Albina pretended to be talking at first, and waited until the apparition of Hervin had left the church for a while, and then they tacitly stopped the conversation and walked silently into the depths of the church.

Herwin had been behind them, following them to a remote garden, with no sign of monks or believers around.

Patton said with a terrible face:

"Albina, why did you just come up, you know that Wright is a member of the Knights. ”

Albina was no longer reserved, and sneered:

"I thought he was a faithful believer in your Primordial Fire, don't worry, Wright is just a name in the Order, not a real member of the Order, he just asks us for some money. ”

Barton sneered:

"Heh, do you think I'll believe it?"

Albina scoffed:

"You can't even be afraid of a small businessman, are you? ”

Barton said with a gloomy face:

"Of course I can't be afraid of a little guy like him, but we can't afford to go wrong with our plans. ”

Albina asked:

"Our plan, this is not what we said we had at the beginning, didn't you want to introduce me to Bishop Alec? ”

Patton looked disdainful:

"Alec was driven here because he offended the adults, but I was sent by the adults, anyway, you have done so much for me now, even if you go to Alec, he will not forgive you, why can't you cooperate with me well?"

Hervin also thought that Barton was Alec's person, so he came to check it out, but he didn't expect that the person who secretly allied with the Knights was only Barton, no wonder Herwin met Albina as soon as he came, because they also had to meet while Alec was away.

But also, as far as Gary's guy is concerned, he may be able to threaten Alec in terms of combat power, but his IQ is a little too insufficient, but I don't know if the "adult" behind Barton and Gary is the same.

If it weren't the same, then the situation was much more complicated, and Gary obviously didn't know that Barton wasn't Alec's person, so he sent the wrong information, but maybe Alec himself didn't know about it.

Who did Alec offend to be targeted so badly, and his subordinates were all undercover agents and spies sent by the enemy.

Albina sneered and said:

"People are qualified to offend big people, but you are just a small chess piece, you deceived me, and you still want me to give you a good face? Not to mention that you don't even tell me who the person behind you is, how can I trust you. ”

Barton held out a finger to his mouth:

"Shhhh ”

Albina shook her head:

"I'm still writing empty checks, and it's okay to continue to cooperate with you, but you have to come up with enough benefits, otherwise I'll pretend I don't know anything. ”

Barton took a deep breath, if he could name the figure behind him, it was estimated that the other party would not hesitate to cooperate with his actions, but that was a serious violation of discipline, as long as he opened his mouth to reveal a little secret, the fire of judgment would instantly burn his soul.

Barton says:

"I have information to tell you that Wright, who just arrived, has given our Bishop a financial backing, and he has fully pocketed it to expand his faction when he returns. ”

Albina frowned:

"Aren't you bishops rich? ”

Barton says:

"The chief bishop earns a lot, but he spends a lot, and everybody's money is spent on spreading the faith, unless he doesn't want to sit in the same position anymore.

"And with Alec, the chief bishop of the entire church is only close to two hundred, as long as he can get the support of ten people, it is already a huge force, if he can have the support of thirty people, maybe he can compete for cardinal. ”

Herwin walked in a circle around the two of them, touching his chin and thinking.

Cardinals, also known as cardinals, currently hold only eight of them, and they are the most powerful people besides the Pope, and they are also usually the chief bishops of important dioceses, such as the Holy Cities.

At the same time, they will also be legends, of course, legends are only the basic conditions for becoming cardinals, and more importantly, their power, has interpreted the doctrine.

Albina asked:

"How much did he give. ”

Barton looked solemn, after all, no one would underestimate this number:

"Before and after, throwing away the church and the church that was given to the church, about 2.3 billion more than 2.3 billion went into his pocket.

"With this money"

Albina's small mouth opened slightly:

"Where did he get so much money, and it's cash, and his cooperation with the Order is only a few million pounds. ”

Barton says:

"It's not important, the important thing is that Alec already has more than a dozen supporters, and if you win over a few greedy and money-hungry people, it will be a huge problem for my lordship. ”

Albina suddenly understood:

"You want me to deal with the church? I thought I was a spy. ”

Barton sneered and said:

"We just need to weaken him, do you think that the archbishop with outstanding abilities can be cultivated casually?, and the adults forced him to come here just to make him suffer a little, learn respect, and we are not like the Knights who will kill each other. ”

Albina didn't give him a good look:

"Tell me, what am I going to do, and what can you give me?"
