Chapter 1139: Conflict
"To the north of the continent beneath our feet, near the legendary Black Forest, there is a powerful nation - the Duchy of the Howling Winds!"
The bard plucked the strings and sang in a brisk tone: "The grey road winds up the mountain, opens the way in the mountains, bridges the water, and the smooth and wide road unites the whole country." Merchants came and went, bringing wealth with them and goods with them. โ
"The river of gold and silver flows with the road, and the river of money flows wherever the gray avenue leads. โ
The adventurers and merchants in the tavern listened to the bard's chanting with smiles on their faces, and although it had been seven or eight years since the rise of the Duchy of Sorrowful Wind, and the story had spread throughout the continent of Mendes, they just loved to hear it.
Whenever a song in praise of the Principality of the Howling Wind came along, they would gather here to toast together.
In the Commonwealth of Merchant More, many merchants were fond of that country, and even though the nobles repeatedly warned them not to do business with that country, as time went on, more and more merchants ignored this warning.
Seeing that everyone else is making a lot of money, but not much for yourself, I feel unbalanced no matter how I think about it.
But in the midst of this, someone felt that something was wrong.
"No...... one adventurer rubbed his stubble-covered chin, his brow furrowed deeply.
He turned his puzzled gaze to the bard who was leaning against the bar and playing the lute, and followed the song to the chorus, which brought out the superiority of the political system of the Duchy of Sorrow through the contrast between the rulers of the Duchy of Sorrow and the rulers of other countries.
Hearing this, the adventurer sensed that something was clearly wrong.
"That's not right...... Didn't the people of the Church of Fortune say to stop moving?" the adventurer sat in the corner, holding a wine glass in his hand, and whispered to himself.
After a few more glances at the bard, he raised his glass and drank with the others, and to the laughter he put it down and walked out of the tavern.
After leaving the tavern, his face suddenly lost his smile and became gloomy.
This is very wrong, since the people of the Wealth Church have said that they have stopped acting, then no matter what they do, the Wealth Church will not pay, so there is no need for them to continue to do so.
And now the country is facing a huge trouble...... Either way, it doesn't feel right!
Although the people from the Fortune Church did not say that they could get money for reporting such a person, he could try it and what if he got the money?
With a fluke in mind, the adventurer walked to the Fortune Church in Gordon.
............
"Didn't you say that the operation had stopped, and why was there still someone on Gordon's side who was going on?" the old Pope frowned when he heard his subordinates' report.
"Moore's actions have indeed stopped, but ......I don't know why," the pastor who came to report the news was puzzled himself.
After the adventurer's report, the Fortune Church in Gordon also sent someone to investigate, and the truth was indeed as the adventurer said.
But it is clear that they have stopped the actions of the Moore Business Federation, and no matter what the people over there do, they will not pay, but even so, there are still people who choose to continue to do this?
"Your Excellency, could it be their ......," the priest hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "they already like the principality, so even if we won't pay, they will continue to sing?"
The old Pope raised his eyes, glanced at him, and fell into deep thought.
It stands to reason that there is such a possibility, but what is the probability that those who see the money will really like this principality?
"Whatever the reason, we need to find out about it. The Pope pondered for a moment, "Otherwise, it is very likely that this will cause the nobles of Moore to ...... us."
His words paused, and he himself froze.
Perhaps, there is indeed some conspiracy in this.
"I already know, you go down......" the old pope bowed slightly to the priest.
The priest left the Pope's office full of doubts, while Adam Dani sat in his office chair and was silent.
This may be the reason why someone wants to sow discord between their church and the Moore Merchant Federation, causing the dissatisfaction of the Moore nobles.
Although the relationship between their church and Moore had deteriorated for quite some time, at least on the surface, the two sides were 'at peace'.
The merchants of Morr were able to travel to and from the Principality of Sorrow as normal, and were able to receive services from the Church of Wealth, and the clergy of the Church of Fortune within the Commonwealth of Mercantile of Mor were not expelled from the country.
Although even the children living in Gordon knew about the relationship between the Church of Fortune and Moore, the two sides remained semblance of friendship.
However, now that Moore is in such unprecedented trouble, their Wealth Church is actually going to 'fall into the ground'โeven if they will explain that they didn't do it, will the nobles of Moore believe it?
No, they won't believe it!
The old Pope couldn't help but sigh, this kind of thing doesn't need to be told to their faith and the maid, it's enough for them to deal with it themselves, if they can't even solve this kind of small matter, what else can they do?
As soon as he thought of it, the Pope picked up his mobile phone and called the others to meet in the conference room.
If there really were people who wanted to secretly sow discord between Moore and the Church of Fortune, then they would definitely be active not only in one place in Gordon, but perhaps in other towns of Moore, but they didn't know about it yet.
............
"What do the people of Fortune Church want to do?"
Sitting behind his desk, Prime Minister Rowe angrily tugged at his collar and took a few deep breaths.
It is not only in Morr that there is a ban on the 'advanced political system' that the bards and merchants preach, but there is also a similar situation in other countries.
The Church of Fortune is secretly doing shady things, and it is no longer particularly secret news in high society.
But they never admitted that they did those things, and even if they got the stolen goods, they had enough reasons to cover up the past, so that the nobles never caught them.
What they are doing now is similar to what the progressive church is doing now, which is to overthrow the political system of mainstream society, that is, to overthrow the 'aristocracy'.
No one wants to accept this kind of thing, so all along, the nobles have been encircling and suppressing these things.
However, compared to the upright and straightforward followers of the Goddess of Progress, the Church of Fortune is much more insidious when it comes to doing things.
There is no tangible evidence and it is difficult to directly attack the Wealth Church, so this matter has been shelved.
But now, Prime Minister Rowe feels that he can no longer bear it!
Even at this time, when More had already been invaded by the plane, the people of the Fortune Church did not stop spreading the so-called 'advanced system' rhetoric, hoping to stir the hearts of the common people.
It's been such a time, and they haven't given up yet?!
There is no doubt that in the eyes of Prime Minister Rowe, this is almost a kind of 'declaration of war' - a declaration of war on the 'centralism' represented by the Principality of Sorrow against the 'aristocracy' represented by the Merchant Confederation of Moore!
If he can endure it any longer, will he still be considered a great nobleman?
"In my territory, arrest all the people of the Church of Fortune, no matter what they say, just arrest them!" Prime Minister Luo Wei viciously gave an order to his subordinates, "But be careful, don't be the first to hurt them, or we may be caught by them!"
"If they resist, let them stop resisting in the name of 'suspected betrayal of the world of Assatom', and if they continue to resist, just do it without any more concerns!"
