Chapter 318: A Fortune
Edward was at a loss.
To be honest, Edward was mentally prepared to meet the nobles of Emmen, and before coming to Emmen, Edward had heard too much about the nobles of Emmen.
In Edward's impression, to the ecclesiastical forces, the nobles of Emmen were like a pack of mad dogs, biting whomever they saw.
But now, Edward has spotted the deviation.
That's right, it's this cowardly middle-aged nobleman in front of him, who has changed Edward's prejudice against the nobles of Emmen, and not all the nobles of Emmen are stunned!
In fact, Edward didn't know that the middle-aged nobleman was indeed one of the outliers in the aristocratic group of Emmen, otherwise he would not have taken the daughter of an ugly count, who was desperate for power and status, and was extremely strong in combat effectiveness.
People who are greedy for vanity, wealth, and power, and know that their status is not easy to come by, are always more desperate for their lives.
It's hard to live the way you dreamed, but it would be a pity if you suddenly burped at this time!
Edward was silent for a long time, looked at the middle-aged nobleman in front of him who had a strong desire to survive, and said, "...... To tell you the truth, you have subverted my imagination of the nobles of Emmen. ”
The middle-aged nobleman secretly raised his head, and after seeing that Edward did not show any killing intent, the middle-aged nobleman swallowed his saliva, he knew what Edward was talking about, so he explained directly: "That's what the ancient noble family of Emmen looks like, and there are no outsiders here......"
"What does it look like to have outsiders?" Edward was curious.
Facing Edward's probing gaze, the middle-aged nobleman with first-class brain replenishment ability broke out in a cold sweat, and he thought of Edward asking this question in an instant, whether he deliberately wanted him to say something that would annoy the other party, so that he could have a reason to give him a sword in the neck.
Edward sensed it and said, "There seem to be a few droplet spiders approaching ...... outside."
Hearing Edward's words, the middle-aged nobleman was agitated on the spot, straightened up as if reflexively, looked extremely angry, and roared: "What!? You don't even have a license! You are flouting the laws of Emmen and trampling on the rules laid down by the United Church! I, Ruka, must go to the United Church and sue you! Wait to be paraded! …… Of course, if you want to settle it peacefully, give money! ”
The word "give money", the middle-aged nobleman named Ruka shouted sonorously, and when he heard it, he was a new generation of outstanding nobles who fought for the Kingdom of Emmen.
Halfway through his words, Edward, who mobilized the holy power around him to force back the droplet spiders lurking, looked at the middle-aged nobleman whose painting style had changed dramatically in a daze, and finally continued with a strange expression: "...... I was forced to retreat by my holy power. ”
“……”
Ruka froze again, and he stared at Edward for a long time, before he coughed awkwardly, intending to bluntly fool what had just happened.
However, after looking at Edward in silence for a while, the less timid Ruka's expression finally couldn't hold back, and said: "Your Excellency, please, don't scare me, I really don't need to be scared, I'm just an ordinary little nobleman, who was kicked over as a scout by a group of shameless old things, if you have any ideas, you can wait to 'negotiate' with that group of old nobles later." ”
Listening to Ruka's tone, Edward knew that the "negotiation" in the other party's mouth was probably not an ordinary verbal conversation, but a physical persuasion, right?
The flattery of a series of old aristocratic city lords around Jiaen Village, Ruka actually understands it, that is, the flattery on the surface, and the group of old things behind the scenes probably regard him as a clown.
No, the mission of initial contact with the invading church is a good example.
However, there is no way, who called those old things really good at touting, and the whole person of Ruka, who was blowing wildly, floated away, so as soon as Luka's brain was hot, he took over this huge dangerous task.
As the vanguard of the contact with the church forces that broke into Emmen, if the church that broke into it was a "super murderer", then it is debatable whether the life of the first contact person can be guaranteed.
After all, as the nobles of Emmen, they are actually very aware of their reputation in the outside world, especially among the church forces, and if they encounter a "upright" church, they may be cut down by the priest of this upright church, "I don't listen, I don't listen".
A church that had long heard of the notoriety of the nobles of Emmen had directly broken into Emmen, and it was obvious that the other party was mentally prepared to carry out the "necessary evil" - cutting people.
The maggot-like nobles of Emmen cut them down if they dared to stop them from saving people!
There was once a church that broke into Emmen who believed in the doctrine of "justice", and the paladins who invaded the church directly cut down more than 40 nobles and nobles in Emmen, and the crazy killing almost killed the noble circle of the Emmen Kingdom!
Later, the stunned youth church was arrested by the United Church people, and then the old nobles of Emmen went to the headquarters of the United Church and held hundreds of protest marches against the stunned young church.
The miserable sales, the accusations, and the bloody murders that did happen, one after another, were laid out, and so that a small church that was originally quite famous and had a good momentum of rise was tossed and decayed by the nobles of Emmen, and according to rumors, that church now has only four small churches left, barely surviving to maintain the faith.
Looking at the middle-aged aristocrat in front of him, Edward could clearly feel the desire to survive and the greed for power coming from the other party, but in the end, this guy is not a bad guy - the soul does not deceive.
Luka, who often arranges his wife with explosive combat power to lead a team to encircle and suppress the demonic beasts around the small city, is indeed loved by many people, and there are more than 20 villages around Luka City, which is far more than the number of villages around the ordinary small city!
The pale golden brilliance under Edward's eyes flashed, and playing with the small bottle in his hand, Edward suddenly smiled, and he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, how about I give you a fortune?" ”
Rich?
Ruka was slightly stunned, then he looked up at Edward, thinking back to what he had seen when he arrived in Garn.
The ancient Ya Divine Sect led by this young priest in front of him is really good, they are enthusiastic about helping others, and on the way here, Luka saw a lot of refugees from Jia'en Village who had been properly arranged.
In the face of the refugees in Jia'en Village, who were at a loss for disaster, the priests of the Ancient Asian Cult came to their side, listened to their stories, and gave them help as much as they could.
Maybe such a church would be a good one? As an outlier among the nobles of Emmen, a self-proclaimed member of the Rationalist faction, Ruka hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "Does Your Excellency want me to be an undercover agent for your church?" No problem! Emmen should really change, and if it were you and your church, I think it would. ”
Hearing Edward say that he would give him a fortune, the only thing Ruka could think of was to be an undercover agent of the Ancient Asian Cult in the Kingdom of Emmen, after all, apart from this, he really had no other use value for the Ancient Asian Divine Cult.
"Undercover? No, no, no, I don't need to go undercover, to be honest I'm more curious about you Emmen right now. I'm talking about riches, that's it! Edward paused, then shook his head, and raised his hand to hand the vial in his hand to Ruka.
"Rich? Ring? Ruka looked at the mini glass bottle in front of him in a daze, and looked at the contents of the bottle, Ruka was at a loss.
"No, it's the poverty ring." Edward kindly explained.
As a result, Ruka's expression became even more confused.
