Chapter 68: Erosion (5)
The Count of Phoebino was in trouble.
The ghost thieves of the Lonely Forest are now more and more rampant, and they attack almost every day, harassing the transit merchants.
But that's not the most troublesome.
The real trouble is the Cult of the Luna.
The Merlan Territory sent a team of Temple warriors to help encircle and suppress it, but it has not appeared until now, and now it is suspected that it is broken in the Lonely Forest.
The Merlin Temple has sent someone over to negotiate the search for the missing person and the possibility of subsequent pacification.
Question: You are the Divine Cult of Meilan's territory, what do you want to appease me here?
Count Phoebino felt that he had been wronged, and he did not intend to pay for it, knowing that it was not a small amount to make up for the loss of the temple, and their appetite had always been great. What's more, you haven't done it yet, and the ghost thieves are still active, so why should I pay?
But the Cult of the Luna apparently doesn't think so, they believe that their losses are caused by standing up for Phoebino, so Phoebino deserves to bear it.
The two sides are at odds.
That's it, the key thing is to involve the local temple. The local god cult is the god of winter, and Phoebino's territory is their diocese, although the god of winter is not as powerful as the god of the moon, but it also has its own bottom line. What does it mean for you to run errands across the border?
As a result, the Cult of Winter God also began to put pressure on Count Phoebino, giving Count Phoebino a headache.
"I shouldn't have agreed to let the Cult of the Moon God cross. ”
In the study, Count Phoebeno said.
Rin Frost knew that even though he didn't scold himself, he actually had a lot of complaints.
After all, he came up with the idea.
However, this is exactly what he wants.
Unhurried, Rin Shuang said: "Father doesn't have to have a headache, just let me solve the matter." ”
"What are you going to do? Both temples are looking for trouble with me right now. How can you fix it?" Fibino asked curiously.
"It's simple, let them dog-eat-dog. Rin Frost replied.
"Come on, it's impossible. Phoebeno waved.
With the eternal covenant in place, the gods have rarely faced direct conflict with each other, and more often they are recuperating and silently waiting for the day of return.
It is very difficult to get the temple and the temple to bite each other.
But just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible.
Rin Frost said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed unlikely. But now the Moon Temple has lost two priests and four temple warriors. It's not a small loss, and they have to find the one who bears the blame. ”
"So they found me!"
"But everyone knows that you are not the murderer, you are just the inviting party, and as the bearer, your responsibility is not great. ”
"But the Temple of Winter is not a murderer. ”
"They can be. ”
"What?" said Fibino.
Rin Shuang has already said: "The Moon God crossed the border to kill the enemy, the Winter Temple thought that this violated his own interests, and secretly sent people to help the ghost thieves, which led to the destruction of the Moon Temple's samurai team, and they are the real murderers." ”
"You're crazy!" Phoebeno stood up, "You actually want to the Winter Temple?"
"Why not?" Rin Frost asked rhetorically, "Father, haven't you had enough of those temples all these years? Forty percent of the annual revenue of the territory has to be given to the temple, but what have they done? They have done nothing, they are just taking benefits for nothing! If something goes wrong, they will come to them and extort us again. If there is a problem, it is the Earl's Court to solve it, and there are benefits, but they take it. That's too much, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Count Phoebeno was also silent.
It took him a while before he said, "There's no way, that's the reality." The temple is the spokesman of the gods, and their will is the will of the gods. ”
"The gods don't have time for that. The gods want faith, the people, not believers. Believers, in fact, are in charge of you. If there is a great calamity and the number of believers decreases, the gods will mind. And all of this needs you! It's the temple that needs you, not the temple. ”
"But they can change lords. ”
"They don't have that power. ”
"But they have the ability. ”
"Then incapacitate them, for example, let them take care of themselves. ”
Fibino stopped talking.
He was silent for a long time before he said, "How much success is assured?"
"The point is not in the grasp of success, but in the fact that no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will not be able to relate to the Earl's Court. Rin Frost replied.
Phoebeno smiled.
Yes, as long as it is done secretly, no matter whether it is successful or not, it will not be possible to pull the Earl's Court.
He said, "Do it yourself, my son." ”
Rin Frost bowed her head: "Yes, father." ”
Watching her son walk out of the study, Fibino let out a long sigh, but at the same time her eyes were slightly condensed.
Who would have believed that such a plan could have been conceived by a seven-year-old?
Such a person is destined to have a terrible future.
Luckily, he was his own son.
Count Phoebino believes that no matter how much little Rin Shuang grows in the future and what achievements he achieves, he will not harm himself.
Because he is his own son!
This belief sustains him and makes him trust Rin Frost no matter what.
Three days later, the body of the Moon Temple warrior was found.
The Moon Temple emissary found traces of the Winter Divine Technique on the corpse, which was a divine technique that only the people of the Winter Temple could unleash.
Now it's a big problem.
This means that it was the people of the Temple of Winter who secretly killed the Temple of the Moon.
The Moon Temple was furious because of this, and a samurai group went directly to the Winter Temple to settle accounts, and the Winter Temple naturally would not admit the account, so the two sides made a big fuss.
Although the gods have an eternal covenant with each other and do not fight each other, the church under the rule of the gods is not very constrained by the covenant. Due to the strength of the Luna God Cult, in the face of the Luna Cult's aggressive momentum, the Winter Temple also had to bow its head and agree to a thorough investigation into the matter.
It was at this time that a man in black appeared in front of the new archbishop of the Moon Temple in the Merlan Territory, Gamber.
——————————————
"The floral scent of gardenias, with the fragrance of the September River, and the refreshing good feelings, tell your master that I like his new work very much, and let him bother. ”
In the antique study, Gamber sat at a pink wooden desk, sniffing the fragrant tea in the cup and said leisurely to a teenager.
Gamber liked the drink, which was bitter and slightly fragrant, revealing a hint of desolation.
It's a pity that this drink is very rare to see, it is said that this kid from Lille has bred it himself, and it is impossible to buy it outside, and because of this, even Gamber has to put on the attitude of Corporal Lixian.
Although he disdains the other party at all.
At least until this happens.
The young man replied respectfully, "It is the honor of my lord to be able to serve the bishop. ”
"But your master doesn't even want to see me once. Gamber said leisurely: "How can I trust a person who has not even seen his face?"
"This ......" The young man's face showed hesitation: "It's not that my master doesn't want to see it, it's really that he also has his difficulties." ”
"Really, then why should I believe his offer?" asked Gamber rhetorically.
"There is no need to believe it, Your Excellency. The young man immediately said, "As long as you nod your head, all the plans will be arranged by my master, everything will go smoothly, and the Moon God Sect will not have the slightest risk." You can naturally swallow up the Temple of Winter and spread the light of the Moon God even more widely, and the Moon God will surely appreciate you. ”
Gamber replied unhurriedly: "Why should I believe that you can do it, and why should I believe that your master will not betray me when the time comes? ”
The boy was still trying to speak, but when Gamber raised his hand, the boy couldn't move.
Gamber sneered, "Do you really think I can't see your disguise? Let me see what kind of guy is behind this disguise." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed it hard, as if he was tearing something off, and in the sound of the cloth, a figure that was obviously a head smaller was revealed.
"Is it a child?" Gamber froze.
Standing in front of him was clearly a boy who was only seven or eight years old.
The boy's eyes widened in horror: "You ......"
Gamber had already leaned over: "Huh, this face is so familiar, how do you feel like you've seen it somewhere?"
He looked up and down, looked at the other party for a long time, and his pupils gradually dilated: "Frost! Frost Fibino, that genius boy of the Fibino family." Hah, what did I get? It was Frost Fibino in my temple...... The moon god is above, and you are here at the behest of Phoebino, who wants to overthrow his diocesan bishop?"
Gamber's eyes widened in disbelief, he felt like he had guessed the truth.
"No, it's not like that! it's all my own idea!" Frost cried out in despair. Despite his desperate denials, listening to Gamber's ears further confirmed this fact.
"No wonder Phoebino didn't dare to show his true face, if the Temple of Winter knew about it, he would be finished. Gamber laughed.
As for why Count Phoebeno wanted to overthrow the temple, it is not surprising at all.
Each temple is a vampire of the local territory, and disputes between the archbishop and the lord are always common, and all kinds of games are endless.
It can be said that because of the relationship of interests, it is inevitable that the bishop and the lord will be opposed, but it is rare to be able to cooperate well.
So Gamber didn't wonder why Fibino would want to deal with the Temple of Winter, the only surprise was that in order to solve the Temple of Winter, Fibino dared to do such a big thing.
But there's no denying that this is his chance.
Expand the Luna Faith.
The eternal covenant restricts the gods, but the restrictions on the following are very low, and there is often friction between them, but it is unlikely that something big will happen, after all, the bigwigs do not support it.
But if the diocese had acted first, it would have been different.
The Temple of Winter took the initiative to attack the Moon God, and the Moon God Cult fought back, what could be better than this?
It was just perfect!
Gamber's eyes flashed with greed: "I like his plan, go back and tell your father, I agreed to his conditions." ”
The struggling Rin Frost stopped: "Are you serious?"
Gamber smiled: "It's really a little ghost, and the truth is revealed in one sentence." Yes, go ahead, go and tell him that I agreed to cooperate. ”
