The lively reception was over, and many people got drunk, such as Rurik, the governor of Lorma City, the police chief Trusier, and the former director of the court, Hawkins.

For the Governor and the Chief of Police, they were well aware of the status of the Holy City Inquisition, the head of the Inquisition was the only one to speak of here, and the new prefect, Dark, was said to be a very capable, humble and generous fellow. Of course, they are happy to work with such people. Although his resume is a little confused, since he was sent down from above, do you still need to have any objections?

Hawkins was even more overjoyed, Lorma City is a small city, there is not much oil and water to fish, and he originally planned to die of old age in office, who knows that the sky will be blessed, a paper order, he can go to the holy city to enjoy the blessings, this hot potato will be handed over to the power to take over!

Vanessa, Fernandez, and Woods had already been transferred to the direct forces of the Holy City, but they were used to being free and loose in the Holy City, and they missed Darke's eclectic way of doing things (although they had only been away for a few days). This decentralization, and the return to fight side by side with Dark, is really what he wanted.

So the guests and hosts rejoiced, and Duck got drunk, ate a lot of Catherine's eyes, and was finally carried back by Vanessa and Woods.

Isabella was very guarded, took out the mistress style, blasted Catherine and Vanessa back, and asked Fernandez and Woods to help help Duck to the bed and send them away.

The moon stars are scarce, the insects chirp, Isabella gently pushed Dak, saw that he couldn't wake up from a sound sleep, and sighed: "You, you can't drink so much if you're happy, it's going to hurt your body." You became this official, and I don't know how many people have begged you, and you were drunk at the beginning, and how did you get it later. Don't you have to talk to George tonight...... Huh?"

Darker suddenly opened his eyes, and his bright eyes shone brightly: "Who said I was drunk? I'm drinking so much right now!"

As soon as the communication opened, the impression of light blue George appeared in the room, and George smiled: "Long time no see, Director Duck looks good." ”

Duck smiled: "Promoted to make a fortune, the spring breeze is proud, of course the complexion is good-you are the same." How's Riley doing?

"Riley is good, she is the main pillar of the research work, and Ramos, who is undisciplined, is the deputy. I haven't cleaned up the money yet, and it is estimated that there will be no big external moves within a year. Let's take a look at the situation on the mainland in a year's time. When it's time to pick peaches, it's certainly not ambiguous. What's your plan?"

"Let me ask you a question first, what do you think of the Cult of the Gods of Light and smashing the top of the Cult of Darkness?"

"Nope. No matter what the reputation is, whether it is true or false, at least for now it is the main faith in the mainland, and it cannot be simply smashed, but must be slowly reformed. ”

"I think the same as you. I wanted to try it, bit by bit, and now it seems that the first step is not bad. ”

"Agreed. To be honest, you're a bit risky this time. ”

"It's not dangerous. The rapid rise of Ara and New Tenotiran and the aggressiveness of the poor men of Urbino made the Cult of Light afraid to attack me directly. After a while, I guess I won't have a chance to start, so I can only come at my pace. ”

"Good idea, but the situation may turn out more than expected. ”

"New information?"

"It has been confirmed that the Psychic Hive technique was tricked by the people of Urbino. ”

Dark's brows furrowed: "In addition to this, what other core technologies does he have at hand now?"

"Cruel Angel, and other technical information that my father left in Iron Tooth Village. ”

"What about our strengths?"

"The unfinished slime research system still lacks a flame slime. It wasn't something that could be solved in a moment - Riley and Ramos had deduced that Urbino was likely playing a fuss about the combination of a psychic hive and a cruel angel. ”

"Urbino is an old fritter, he will never reveal something as taboo as the Soul Hive early, and he will definitely leave it as a killing move at the end. Any other information?"

"There are no more clues other than the poor men going around inciting people to rebel. Instead, Hickstu made a serendipitous discovery, as Urbino printed a large number of Old Testaments for distribution, repeatedly emphasizing that the "kingdom of God" was coming, and desperately advocating devotion to God. ”

"That's normal, isn't it?"

"It's not normal. He took it out of context and printed only the "gospel" section of the Old Testament. ”

The "Gospel" section is a prophetic book from the Old Testament that tells the story of the resurrection of Chemus, the son of light, after his dedication to mankind, and the story of his resurrection leading the world into heaven.

Duck thought for a moment and said, "Is it to emphasize his orthodox status, win the sympathy of the people, and boost morale by the way?"

Isabella, who was familiar with the scriptures, couldn't help but say, "Unlikely, because the content of the 'Gospel' section is beneficial to both the orthodox and the poor, and there is no disagreement between the two sides in establishing the kingdom of heaven." ”

"We need more information – tell us what's next," George said. ”

"In your words, the new official took office with three fires. Now that you've got control of Lorma City, how can you not toss around?"

"You can be careful, there are my people in Lorma City, don't use their heads as paving stones for promotion and fortune. ”

"What about the pay?"

"What about political contributions?"

"Little family. How can the director of a city-wide inquisition be able to settle it with a few stinky money? Gifts should be given to one's liking, and I don't understand any of these rules?"

George laughed, laughed, and said: "I have discussed with Petrarch of the Black Holy Land, the alchemy materials will be provided to you as much as possible, what do you want, say hello in advance." ”

"It's a little shabby. ”

"You're enough. It's not easy to provide you with these thousands of miles away," George thought for a moment, and said, "In this case, I'll give you another half of a thick thigh." ”

"Half a root?"

"Because I'm not sure about it, isn't it safe for you to hold this leg now? In ten days or so he will be on your side, and behind him is the royal family of Doland. ”

"Got it, the Kingdom of Dorland wants to dig into the corner of the orthodox?"

"It has always been their dream to teach the kingdom, and a guy who is close to them and has enough influence on the Holy See is definitely something they are happy to come into. They're betting around right now, and the better you perform, the more likely you are to become an investment in them. There are risks and opportunities, depending on how you use them. Can you elaborate on your governing program? I can get my subordinates to cooperate. ”

"There is only one sentence, starting with me, there will be no more human heretics in the world!"

Cutting off the communication, Isabella was a little worried: "Duck, if we do this, will we work for George again? ”

Duck laughed, "Why? Didn't we already state our attitude when we left?"

"But, you want money and things......"

"Take advantage of each other. Lala, a stone, if given to only one carver, is bound to turn into what he wants: either succeed, or into a pile of broken stones. If it's two people......"

"It could get uglier. ”

"But it's unlikely to be ruined, is it? The final work must be the result of two people compromising and cooperating with each other, although it is not necessarily the most satisfying for both parties. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Alchemy does not solve all problems, and to put it too high is tantamount to creating a new god, and this new god is more dangerous than the closed, backward, stupid but stable god of light. George saw this, and he had told me separately earlier that he wasn't too sure about the world he wanted. Ever since I saw the destruction of the civilization of Atalantis, I have felt more and more the weight of this sentence, so I must not let him play this carving game by himself. However, Urbino's undisciplined old god didn't know, or, pretended to be confused. George and I have to work together, and even I'm going to bring the Orthodox people in. ”

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to draw a line, and both the new gods and the old gods must stand behind the line: those who run slower should take two more steps, and those who run fast should not step on them. ”

"You're so bold. ”

"yes. I'm not the only carver, I don't know what the future will look like, and it's likely that nothing can be changed if I die without a place to be buried, but at least ......" Duck looked at the girl and gently took her into his arms.

The foreheads of the two of them rested lightly against each other.

"We're in this together. ”
