Chapter Seventy-Four: Not What I Wanted
"In this way, there is a lot of power involved in this operation. So shouldn't the church look for some outside help? "Claymatis. A smile appeared on Bot's face.
Priest Weldon nodded: "That's why we're here, so we'll leave a few of you here in advance." After all, relying on the temples of our seven cities alone will still be somewhat lacking in human hands. ”
"Anyway, don't you plan to hire people from well-connected organizations? I remember one of our churches that liked to use this method. "Claymatis. Bott paused, "I've seen similar operations a few times when I was in Repulse City. It's really a crowd as soon as the reward is put out! ”
"We have plans to do that. However, since it is uncertain when the operation will begin, the plan, like the plan, is only on paper. Priest Weldon smiled and swept the papers from the table into the drawer that had been opened.
Claymatis. Bot bit his lip: "Oh! Haven't you even made a decision on this aspect? It seems that even if the plan is implemented, it will take a long time to do it! ”
"Well, the specific situation depends on the development of the situation." Priest Weldon paused, "After all, that aspect of the matter is not completely under our control. This can only be blamed on the chamber of commerce that cheated everyone before! Now we can only hope that the town hall will solve the problem as soon as possible. In that case, we'll be able to bring back our elite forces to execute the next plan. ”
"If our church, like the Church of the 'Lord of Notars,' had conducted polygraph tests when they were commissioned, I am afraid that things would not have ended up in the current situation." Claymatis. Bot couldn't help but complain.
Hearing this, Priest Weldon shook his head with a wry smile: "Like that. The 'Lord of the Notary' Church is indeed able to use it. But if it comes to us. But it doesn't work. After all, our church is closer to a merchant than to an arbiter like the Church of the 'Lord of Notaries'. Besides, if the other party finds an unsuspecting guy to sign the agreement, like the escort this time, won't he successfully evade the magic inspection? It is not possible for us to be like the Church of the Notary Lord, where most of the cooperation is with the local authorities......"
After all, the main agreement of the Church of the 'Lord of Notarials' is in addition to the divine items that are essential to all temples. More often than not, they send military priests to fight evil creatures, and even send temple forces to help in some cases. Violence such as this is often led by local lords or other people in power.
and the changes that may be triggered by the action. It also makes both sides of the cooperation have to be cautious. This has led them to apply extremely strict scrutiny to ensure that every aspect of their operations does not appear to be exploited by the enemy. At the same time, it is also the confidence of the other party to strictly examine and show no mercy - even the person being inspected will often understand and even support this.
However, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce is completely different, and the trade of goods is all about harmony and wealth. If you openly try customers as prisoners, aren't you going to rush out customers? Although the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' is powerful, it is not yet a real monopoly on the Western Continent. With competitors, it naturally needs to cater to the needs and psychology of customers. So Clematis. Bote's argument simply doesn't work.
"Alright! It's that I'm thinking too much. "Claymatis. Bot sighed.
Priest Weldon didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "Don't worry! As I said before, if those guys dare to deceive us, we must be prepared to bear the wrath of the church. If they're not exposed, they're lucky. But if it's like this time, you must let them spit it out with interest. ”
"How does it feel like fishing for law enforcement!" Claymatis. Bot's expression immediately became a little strange.
Priest Weldon then refilled his glass: "Since those things are destined to be unavoidable. We can only recover as much of our losses as we can. But why did you suddenly come to me today to mention this matter? It seems that it is not just a matter of wanting to know more about the situation. ”
"We have some plans of our own. But I have to make a decision after confirming whether the plan can be implemented! "Claymatis. It was not surprising that Priest Weldon was able to see his purpose. So there is no hiding about it.
Priest Weldon looked at Clematis with interest. Bote: "Tell me what you're going to do?" ”
"We're just trying to see if we can get 1-2 places for ourselves among the people we recruit when you choose a cooperative organization from outside." Claymatis. Bot said frankly.
Priest Weldon frowned, "Are you planning to introduce us to manpower?" If it's just about introducing people, we wouldn't object to it! After all, the more qualified people there are, the better! But if it involves other organizations, it's not easy to say. ”
"If the temples within the Seven Cities Alliance didn't choose the organization that our companions are in now, we naturally wouldn't force it." Claymatis. Bot then paused, "Of course, if those two organizations are included, we still hope that you would be more accommodating. ”
Priest Weldon moved his fingers: "You mean your companions?" In other words, the number of people in your team is not even enough! I didn't expect you to be able to protect the Yorkshire Mariner from the pirates. ”
"Yes! If it weren't for the mages and wanderers in our team preparing for the advancement. Those bastards who met mammoths before, we wouldn't have fought so hard! "As soon as this thing is mentioned, Clematis. Bot was a little angry.
In the previous battle on the 'Yorkshire Mariner', the enemy was not very strong. But they relied on their familiarity with the battle at sea, and at the same time their numerical superiority, and they were miserable to fight blood-stained and gray. Especially Claymatis. Bot, a priest who is not good at protracted warfare, was almost dragged to death by the enemy at that time. She thinks about it now. It must be uncomfortable in my heart.
As for the front and back maces in her hands at that time. How many attackers' heads were smashed? Claymatis. Bot would never remember - after all, the pirates who came out to rob him. Isn't it a matter of course to die at the hands of the guards?
"Going to prepare for the advancement? In other words, the two of them are about to enter the red iron rank? "Priest Weldon is in the mood for now. Although there are many members of this power tier in the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, it is relatively easy to find outside help. However, this action was only a separate act of the Church's temple within the Seven Cities Alliance. In contrast, the number of people who can be mobilized is greatly limited. So if they can have more than one channel, they still don't mind having more people.
Claymatis. Bot pondered for a moment, and then gave a statement that he thought was more reliable: "One of them should be about to enter the hematite rank!" As for the other one, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while, but he's at the top of the limestone like me. ”
"Oh! If that's the case, it should have some value. Priest Weldon nodded, "So can you tell us about the organization, strength, and current location of those two?" ”
"One of them was a female mage known as Rielly. He is currently working in the Garden of Mysteries as an advanced master of the school. Another halfling wanderer called Noodle is on a mission at the Church of the Dragon God of Good. Preparing for future advanced contributions. "Claymatis. Bot immediately revealed the situation of the two.
"The Church of the Dragon God of Goodness is one of our main partners this time. If your ex-teammate is suitable, I think he should be able to be sent over. Speaking of this, Priest Weldon's voice changed, "But the Garden of Mysteries is not necessarily, and whether or not to carry out in-depth cooperation, there is still no accurate conclusion between the two of us. As you know, arcane organizations like that are always troublesome. This is especially true when the majority of the population is conservative on the defensive side. ”
If it was those spellcasters who had changed the Rainbow Garden to the Mystery Garden in the first place, they would not have been angry enough to come to him to settle accounts after hearing Priest Weldon's words. Since after the name change. The Garden of Mystery has always wanted to get rid of this impression in front of the world - like the three colleges that have just been given the right to issue bachelor's degrees, they are trying to get rid of the shadow of their junior college days. But for now. Their efforts don't seem to have been very successful.
"Is that so?" Claymatis. Bot sighed, "Looks like we thought a little too well before!" ”
"So that Miss Rielie is your main force?" Priest Weldon immediately understood Clematis. Bot's words.
Claymatis. Bot smiled a little awkwardly: "After all, the other party is a mage!" Her spells will still help us turn the tide of battle in many cases. ”
"In that case, I'll discuss it with the Priestess. After all, under the conditions of the same strength, if it is a teammate, the cooperation will obviously be tacit. "Fortunately, Priest Weldon did not take Clematis with a stick. Bot was killed, but it still left her with some hope.
Claymatis. Bot then walked over to Priest Weldon's table, and then handed over a large gold coupon that also belonged to the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce': "Then everything will be entrusted to you." ”
"All I can say is do my best, do my best." Although he did not give a positive reply, Priest Weldon skillfully took the golden ticket and quickly put it in his pocket.
Completed the exchange of Clematis. Bot gathered all the players into the house that night. When she confided all the information she had obtained during the day, the players frowned one by one.
The anvil that kept touching his beard shook his head: "It seems that this is a little different from Barrett's previous estimate!" ”
"This is also something that can't be helped, after all, what I know best is the interior of the Norhan Kingdom. I can't say that the situation outside of that is 100% correct! Barrett affirmed the dwarves' claims. At the same time, he also took this opportunity to remind his companions that he was not Bai Xiaosheng in the game.
Lalu had a different opinion on this at this time: "Barrett's guess is not wrong. Judging from the information received by Kleimatis, the Mystery Garden where Lily is located is still on the list of choices for the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business'. ”
"I didn't expect Lulu to speak for me at this time!" Barrett said as he reached out and touched his head.
But after the cat boy quickly dodged Barrett's palm, he retorted angrily: "So in your eyes, am I such an unreasonable person?" Although I do want to meet Lily as soon as possible. But that doesn't mean I'm going to be right and wrong in matters related to it! ”
"Good! Good! Good! Isn't it okay for me to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? Barrett suddenly looked a little deflated, "But whether Rielie will be able to join the operation again becomes an unknown." ”
"Barrett, it's rare for you to do this!" Claymatis. "And I think there's a lot of hope for this." After all, since the Priestess of Weldon dared to take my golden ticket, it means that the other party still has a certain degree of certainty in his heart. ”
Claudia. Auditore actually dismantled the stage for his friend at this time: "But he still hasn't been able to give you a packing ticket, has he?" In other words, the final outcome of this matter is still inconclusive! ”
"The rest is just a matter of luck. It's a really uncomfortable feeling. Barrett said, shaking his head.
For the next few days, the blood-stained Grey Flower players were confined to the Temple of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce in Walkerson. However, the ministry in the temple would report to Clematis every day about the events that happened in the city. Bot. So a few players are not considered to be isolated from the world.
The gunpowder smuggling case aboard the Yorkshire Mariner is still unfolding. Because the chamber of commerce, which is the owner of the goods, has not given an explanation. Therefore, the law enforcement team under the city hall has been arresting people related to it everywhere during this time. Hopefully, a gap will be opened through this channel. For several days, even the eyes of the hunting dogs equipped by the law enforcement team turned red. Those team members had black bags under their eyes, and the whites of their eyes were covered with bloodshots. Because of this factor, the situation in Walkerson City has become a little tense, and normal business has been somewhat affected. (To be continued.) )
