Act XXIII

White?

Why him?

Haven't the Izzarian family always been at odds with the Durant family?

Rosen thought about why White was on this occasion, and the situation, which had gradually become simpler, seemed to become more complicated. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

White was also accompanied by a guard who had no peak, he walked into the restaurant, said hello to the owner, and then climbed the stairs and stepped into the private room, greeting each other with the two who had already arrived, and there was no sign of discord.

"How are the recent shipments selling?"

The first to speak was Bishop Edgar, who waved his hand slightly, and the golden bracelet on his wrist surged with a wave of magical power, and the entire box was surrounded by an invisible force field, and no sound could be heard.

Lawson frowned when he saw Irandall, obviously this kind of isolation was quite effective for the Black Iron Order, but Lawson didn't have to worry about it at all.

His perception penetrated directly through the barrier, and he quietly listened to the conversation in the private room.

"Quite well, there is no shortage of rich people among the refugees of Regios, and there is a market for the goods in the city. ”

It was Mura who spoke, taking a sip of the red wine in his glass, and said slowly, presumably referring to holy water by "goods" in their mouths.

"Even if it is distributed for free in the city, as long as you know that this thing is in short supply outside the city, there will be speculative guys who will find a large number of people to buy it in large quantities and smuggle it to the city for sale. ”

"Master Durant is such a genius to think of such a way to make money. ”

White no longer faced the kindness of Rosen and the others at this time, but instead had a flattering expression.

"If it weren't for White, how could they have come to their senses so quickly if you had secretly opened up among those vendors. ”

Mura smiled.

"You and I are at odds on the surface, and the merchants who are undecided turn to your side, without knowing that they are fooled fools. ”

I see.

Rosen immediately had the answer in his mind.

The Durant family and the Izzarion family seem to be at odds, but in fact they have long been colluded, in this plague, by White wandering between some merchants, secretly conveying that the Durant family smuggled holy water for profit, so that others generally followed suit, but how could the Durant family, who controlled the city gate, let others smuggle so easily.

At first, it must have been easy to smuggle, but after everyone tasted the sweetness, they bought more holy water, and then, the Durant family suddenly tightened the access and made it impossible to smuggle smoothly.

In the end, only a few merchants should have sold the holy water they bought from various sources, and most of the rest were piled up in the warehouse, and they could not see the light of day at all.

You must know that in the face of the plague, where is it so easy for ordinary people to sell their holy water, and most of the holy water hoarded by merchants is secretly purchased from the Holy Church through connections.

Such a trinity, all three parties can benefit, is indeed quite a terrible plan.

Rosen saw Elandall clenching her fists secretly, obviously, although she couldn't understand it, she could understand the general ins and outs.

Bishop Edgar's current behavior is tantamount to apostasy, a sinner who should be punished by the Night's Watch, and if Elandall hadn't thought about waiting for a better time, he would have rushed in at once.

Bishop Edgar's strength is only lower than that of Black Iron, but as the bishop of the diocese of Byron Weis, he has a lot of various magical items on his body, and Irandall is not confident that he can escape under a head-on breakthrough.

Moreover, there were still many doubts about the situation, and even if she knew that Bishop Edgar had betrayed the others, she would have to gather more evidence to convince the Inquisition of this fact.

In fact, even Randall himself didn't believe that the strict self-disciplined Church had fallen to this point, and her life was saved by Bishop Edgar, and Erandall didn't want to kill the killer until it was absolutely necessary.

Moreover, since the decades of infighting in the Templars, the Inquisition has imposed many restrictions on the handling of heresies within the Templars, after all, people do not want to see such an arbitration institution become a tool for some to eradicate dissent.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, accusing the top bishop of a diocese is quite a bold act, and although Elandall is full of turmoil in his heart, he still suppresses his feelings.

Rosen has no intention of making a move, there are still too many doubts, such as why there is an extract of the erosion worm in the holy water, how did this plague break out, if there are really cultists behind the scenes, then which side is the cultist's power?

The three people in the private room continued to talk for a while before they finished eating and drinking and left the restaurant in batches.

It was late at night, and the moonlight was shining on the roof, reflecting on Irandall's body, and the petite nun was silent, like a statue of a saint.

"Looks like you've got what you wanted. ”

Rosen said that if he wanted to investigate now, he could only go deep into Durant or Izarion's house, and as for the Templar, he was not ready to confront a big force head-on.

"The two of us have the same purpose, or at least at this point in time, and that is to gather evidence of collusion between the Templars and the merchants to sell holy water. ”

Now, though, he had another thought.

"How about we work together?"

The investigation of the Templar was left to Elandall, who believed that as a Night's Watchman, Irandall would be more than happy to eradicate such scum from the Templars.

Rosen's words faded in the cold winter like the whispers of a demon, but Irandall couldn't refuse.

This mercenary is very powerful, regardless of his motives, but at least now that the two are on the same page, it is not absolutely impossible to cooperate with each other.

Although this is a scandal within the Templar, and the people above definitely want to deal with it secretly, but at this point, this incident involves too much, and it is no longer easy to bury.

"What do you want?"

Elandall said coldly, she just wanted to get in touch with Pahaibel as soon as possible at this time, and leave the Great Church of Byron Weiss with the children of the orphanage, and it was hard to guarantee that Bishop Edgar had realized that she had come back this time not only to visit the deceased, but also to thoroughly investigate the corruption cases hidden in the Great Church of Byron Weiss.

As early as when she accepted the mission, Irandall had a vague premonition that everything she knew in the past was going to be overturned, but when the boat was ready, she still couldn't let go.

What's more, Bishop Edgar is deeply trusted by Pahaibel and the children of the orphanage, and at that time, these children and Pahaibel will become hostages of Bishop Edgar, which is the last thing Edgar wants to see.

Therefore, she decided to test Lawson, in any case, since this powerful mercenary was interested in it, she could also use the background of the Upper Templar to hire the other party to do things for her.

"Come to think of it, it depends on what you can give. ”

Rosen didn't answer directly, he knew that he was talking about the conditions now, but he couldn't think of anything to ask for for a while, but helping for no reason would arouse suspicion, so he thought about it before he spoke.

"Why don't you promise to do something for me? Of course, it won't violate your conscience and principles, what?"

There is the most room for such explanations, Rosen thought.

But I didn't expect that after hearing Rosen's words, Irandall was stunned, and then there seemed to be a faint flush on her cheeks, revealing a rare embarrassed expression, she hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding her head.

"Deal. ”
