Chapter XXIV

In the affluent district of Navia City, in a detached building with a garden, a number of hidden people are gathering. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the home of a wealthy merchant.

The wealthy merchant was known for donating a large amount of money to the Temple of Fortune.

All of them think that the other person is a devout believer.

However, at this time, in the study at home, the wealthy businessman stood in front of these people with a solemn face.

Especially, when the disguise was removed, looking at these injured people, the solemnity in the rich businessman's face became a little more.

Subconsciously, the rich businessman's eyes looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd.

Like the people around him, the middle-aged man also had bandages around his arms, and his face was slightly ordinary, but his eyes were extremely sharp, like knives.

It is precisely because of such eyes that this middle-aged man has become extraordinary, even if he is injured, he still has an aura that ordinary people can hardly ignore.

In fact, as the leader of the 'Oak Hand', the middle-aged man in front of him has the same strength as the momentum.

Otherwise, 'Oak Hands' wouldn't have been the longest gang in Navia. Pie organization.

And it is precisely because of this experience that middle-aged people have extraordinary prestige.

With the eyes of the rich businessman, the eyes of everyone around looked at the middle-aged man, obviously waiting for the middle-aged man's orders.

"Activate 'that.'"

Under the gaze of everyone, the middle-aged man said directly.

That one?

People who don't know the inside story look confused.

Those who know the inside story are shocked.

Especially the rich businessman.

As the person in charge of 'that', he knows what 'that' will bring.

Or, more precisely, what they will give.

"Chief, are we really going to do this?"

The rich merchant asked with hesitation and reluctance.

"This has to be done!"

"The guys at Greenstone won't let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely launch an all-out attack on us at this time."

"Only 'that' can get us through this crisis!"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, and reluctance also appeared on his face.

But the words are loud and clear.

Although it will take his savings for many years this time, it is better than dying, right?

"Got it!"

The rich merchant nodded, turned and left the room.

About ten minutes later, a horse-drawn carriage appeared in front of the building.

The rich merchant took all his servants and bowed down to meet the carriage.

The carriage was two-wheeled, and the horse pulling the carriage was also an old horse, and the coachman was dressed ordinarily, even with patches, but no one dared to underestimate this carriage.

Because, on the carriage there is a religious emblem.

Emblem of the Temple of Fortune: A palm-sized, glittering gold coin.

In the same way, the cuffs of the old priest who walked down, the chest. Before, there was also such a religious emblem.

Compared to ordinary priestly robes, this emblem shines in the sun.

"Priest Smerck, thank you for coming."

The merchant said as he handed a money bag to the priest.

The priest took the money bag with a smile on his face.

"Lady Canley Canton will send you her blessings."

The priest tapped the merchant on the shoulder, and the latter immediately looked flattered and respectfully welcomed the priest in.

Such a scene would be surprising to be seen at any time.

But not here.

Not only the servants around him, but even the onlookers smiled knowingly when they saw it.

If there is one of the twenty-five temples in Navia, it is not the Temple of Forgiveness, but the Temple of Wealth.

Because, in the temple of wealth, money represents the unique.

Regardless of whether you are guilty or not, give the corresponding money to receive a book of indulgence or a chance for forgiveness.

As for the absence of money?

Please turn left and enter the Temple of Forgiveness, where the Atonement is given, and then forgiveness is received with scourging.

Therefore, the Temple of Fortune was unanimously welcomed by the wealthy.

Squeezed down the 'Temple of Thorns' and became one of the four major temples under the 'Temple of Thunder'.

Therefore, due respect is also necessary.

The wounded middle-aged man had already stood in the hall, greeting the priest of Smerk.

"It's an honor to meet you, Priest Smerck."

"In the face of you, my injuries seem to be much better."

The middle-aged man first bowed, and then said with a compliment.

"That's the radiance of Lady Canley Canton, I'm just her communicator, and what you want to do, it's better to pray to the Goddess."

There was something in Smerke's words, and his slightly old countenance had the cunning that time had left behind.

He knows who the other person is and what he does.

I also understand what the other party wants to do.

But he didn't care.

As long as the other party is willing to give a large contribution to make the wealth lady happy, it is enough.

Isn't that what he, a devout believer, should do?

As for the rest?

What's the business with him!

It was a prayer to the Lady of Wealth.

How can a mortal ask!

The middle-aged man immediately understood.

Immediately, the leader of the 'Oak Hand' fell down on one knee and said, "Venerable Lady Canley Canton, admirable Lady of Fortune, hear my prayer!" ”

"I'm willing to use these gold coins to get your refuge!"

With the words of the middle-aged man.

A box full of gold coins was carried out by two people.

Then, the gold coins in the box disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if an invisible hand was grabbing the coins and putting them into an invisible bag.

Soon, the gold in the box bottomed out.

Then, two boxes of gold coins were carried out.

"My sins, I am willing to wash them away with more gold!"

The middle-aged man continued.

This time, when the two boxes of gold coins appeared, they flew up in the air, and then all the gold coins tilted down.

However, none of them landed.

In mid-air, the coins vanished.

At the same time, a faint golden light appeared on the middle-aged man's body.

The moment this golden light appeared, Smock prayed in a low voice.

That's a glimmer of concern for Ms. Canley Canton.

This effect can only be achieved if a large number of sacrificial gold coins, at least 10,000 or more.

"Lady Canley Canton is watching you."

"Will bless you."

After praying, Smerk said softly.

"Thank you Goddess for her generosity."

The middle-aged man replied respectfully.

Then, another money bag fell into the hands of the priest in front of him.

Compared to the money bag at the door, this money bag is bigger and more bulging.

Putting the money bag into his sleeve, Smock and the middle-aged man looked at each other and smiled.

However, the smiles of the two immediately froze.

"I've always wondered why 'Oak Hands' has such guts!"

"Is it collusion with the Temple of Fortune?"

A voice suddenly entered the hall.

And thenβ€”

Rumble!

The building's gate flew straight into the sky.

A figure strode in.

Everyone in the hall widened their eyes as they looked at the approaching figure.

Because, even in the sunlight, this figure is looming, as if transparent.

What's even more terrifying is that with the appearance of this figure, the overwhelming murderous aura is like a monstrous wave smashing down, causing everyone in the hall to shake.

They heard in their ears the wails of the passing of life.

They saw the struggle of souls before their eyes.

They all smelled blood in their noses.

Killer!

No, not a simple killer!

It is the executioner and butcher who slaughtered countless people!

And in Navia City, there seems to be only one person who matches the identity of the person in front of him.

The mysterious 'King of Killers' who never showed his true face!

Leader of Greenstone!
