Sister Tallina, who was standing on the side, showed an extremely strange look on her face, and it took almost all her strength to hold back the twitching of the muscles on her face, she once suspected that there was something wrong with her ears, the dark moon was above, she must have heard it wrong, what was the priest thinking, so she would ask the creditor who came to collect the debt to borrow money.

However, Miss Sister just kept a religious smile and stood aside, not planning to say anything out of place, it was not only Lisa who had been conquered by Shul in recent years, but at least her.

Since the death of Bishop Summer, Bishop Lisa was too young to take charge, and all the burden was on the shoulders of Tallinna and another nun, Merial, and it only took half a year for the two of them to collapse under pressure.

In the most difficult time, Lisa showed up with Shule, and in four years, the two witnessed how the problems that were about to drive them crazy were solved one by one by Shul's casual handling, and the two could clearly feel that under Shule's guidance, the church was slowly changing for the better, and things were gradually getting on the right track.

The two had already made up their minds that no matter how incomprehensible Shuer did, even if they kept slandering, they would fully cooperate, because they had already understood that sometimes, people can do things differently.

Therefore, Talina remained silent and expressed her support for Shul with practical actions, but her inner thoughts ...... Hehe.

Looking for a creditor who collects debts to borrow another huge amount of money? How can you say that this is too, unless the other party has a bad brain, he will only think that this is teasing him.

Miss Nun secretly rolled her eyes and secretly looked at Lord Lisa, and sure enough, Lord Lisa didn't feel strange at all, and actually looked at the creditor with anticipation. Alas, Lord Lisa, wake up, that is the famous old Marquis Fox, even if he is really demented in another twenty or thirty years, he will not agree to such an excessive request.

"Okay, six thousand gold coins. Marquis Reuben's eyes flashed, and without even a second's pause, he nodded as usual, "I'll have someone send it over in a moment." ”

Hah, yes, merciful Darkmoon, please embrace your followers with your outward light, and let me regain my senses. Miss Nun felt that something must be wrong, either the world was wrong, or she was wrong.

"It's an IOU. Shul pushed the piece of paper he had been writing to the other side, "I've signed my name." ”

Hmm, Mr. Marquis hurriedly swept it and stamped his seal without hesitation.

"Look, the problem is solved. Without glancing at the IOU again, Shul handed it to Tarina, "You can receive the gold in a moment, and don't forget to give it to someone when the time comes." In addition, I think the muscles on your face are a little cramped, so let me allow you to go out and relax your emotions, and by the way, from the second cabinet on the left side of the storeroom, which is my special locker, take a wooden box from the inside, only one of them, and you can see it at a glance. ”

Sending away Miss Nun, who had been driven crazy by reality, Shul patted Lisa on the head: "Do you understand?"

"Nope. The girl pouted and shook her head, "I understand the front, but the last two steps ......"

"Hehe, my Lisa is really the smartest child, it's enough to understand it earlier. Pinching the girl's little face with baby fat, Shuer was obviously in a good mood, and even in the face of the creditor, he could show a bright smile from the heart, "It's been a while, old marquis, it's a pleasure to meet again." ”

"Are you really happy?" the old man stroked his beard and smiled like a fox, "why didn't I see it, when you saw me, I only felt surprise and annoyance, but I didn't feel happy." ”

"Of course I am glad, or who shall I go to borrow money from?" the Lord said, be kind to those who have helped you, and always be grateful. Shure could always pull a few random words out of the temple as cover, "However, you're right, I was surprised to find out that you were one of these people, and I had a headache to death." ”

"Oh, why?" asked the old man leisurely.

"To be honest, I never expected you to be here. I've always felt that you, the troublesome guy, are the main messengers behind the scenes, and the intention is to solve the trouble of the Dark Moon Temple's divine territory as soon as possible, so that we don't have to take it over, and other churches are always worried about it. In the past few years, I'm afraid you will be entangled by those temples who want to enter the city every few days, if I were you, I would have smashed them one by one, and I would still be able to settle quietly. ”

"I don't dare. ”

This is true, even if ordinary people are nobles, they don't dare to easily provoke high-level warriors, especially these warriors are also the attendants of the gods, even if the emperors of the three empires, when facing high-ranking priests, they must maintain enough respect, not to mention that Anderson is just a marquis.

On the other hand, high-ranking warriors, even demigods who have left the mortal realm with half a foot, are not willing to easily challenge the power of the world, after all, although power may not necessarily threaten their lives, it can seriously affect their normal life, which is very troublesome.

As a result, there is often a tacit understanding between the warlords and the secular powers, leaving enough room for each other. Obviously, Shuer said this to remind the other party without a trace that there is a subtle difference between the identities of the two.

"So, until I entered this room, I thought of you as an antagonist. Everyone is a shrewd person, and since the other party made a vague and weak expression, Xiuer also took the opportunity to change the topic, "Along the way, I have been thinking about how to deal with the trouble you have caused." ”

"And now?"

"Now, ha, it's more troublesome now. Shul pouted and said, "The people who should be behind the scenes suddenly jumped to the front of the stage, and the only possible explanation is that the more troublesome people are standing behind the scenes." ”

"The mortals who can make you come forward to charge ahead, the Rose Capital, no, it should be said that the entire Korra Kingdom will not add up to three. And among these three people, it is easy to say inconsequential things, but this kind of thing that is likely to cause the hostility of one or even several true God churches can make you come forward, and there is only one person left who can do it. I can't think of anyone other than the Grand Duke of Rose who can make you do what you are told. ”

"So, you think Alex instructed me?"

"No, it won't be Duke Rose. Shul shook his head affirmatively.

"Why? Because the sixth Duke of Rose is a follower of Darkmoon?"

"No kidding, who cares about a thousand years ago. Xiuer pouted, more than ten generations have passed, not to mention a relatively indifferent aristocratic family, even if it is just an ordinary person, it will not be affected by the belief of a certain ancestor, "Duke Rose will not interfere in this matter, it is entirely because of you." ”

"The Duke knows that you have rejected all positions of real power, and have only accepted a laborious and often thankless idle position, on the one hand, to avoid suspicion, but more importantly, to suppress your own family power, and to give sufficient nourishment to the growth of the next generation and the next generation of rose seedlings, he always feels indebted to you, but he does need you to do so. ”

"In order to make up for the debt in his heart, he will never dictate what you are responsible for, and he will not allow anyone else to do so, this is the only way he can compensate you. ”

"Alex just thinks too much, but he's done enough. Marquis Ruben was a little stunned, and admitted Shuer's guess on the side, "But, if it's not Alex, doesn't it contradict your judgment?"

"Not contradictory, because I have a question in mind. Xiuer said leisurely, "You are also a person." ”

"Thank you for the affirmation. "The old marquis was neither happy nor angry.

"No, no, you're mistaken, I mean, you're human too, and you have your own beliefs, after all, unbelievers are still rare. "The unbelievers are indeed rare, not only are they often isolated, but they also have nowhere to go for their souls after death, and can only endure endless pain outside the gates of the underworld until they completely dissipate," So, although no one among the mortals except the Grand Duke of the Rose can let you come forward, but the realm of the gods is different. If a church of a god you believe in asks you for help and wants you to come forward and put pressure on us, I don't think you will refuse. ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't found out which god is the most devout belief of Lord Marquis?"

"Hehehe. The old marquis smoked his pipe without saying a word, but chuckled under his breath. Of course, he would not answer such words, and answering would be tantamount to betraying the temple behind him, and he had no intention of giving up his faith.

"But it doesn't matter, no matter how big the trouble is, it can't be solved, at least for now, it doesn't matter who you represent. Shul pushed the other two pieces of paper on the table as well, "Come, sign this contract as well." ”

"Huh?" Glancing at it, the old marquis frowned, the contract was written very simply, but it was also very scary, and there was only one meaning, that is, including the six thousand gold coins borrowed today, all the debts of the Darkmoon Temple in the name of the members of the Ruben family before the contract was signed, and the processing of the IOU would be carried out later.

After pondering for a while, Marquis Ruben decisively stamped his seal.

"How dare you sign it. Shul smacked his tongue slightly, feeling the little hand holding his hand become damp and trembling slightly.

Although Lisa did not know the exact amount, she knew that it must be a large debt, five thousand, eight thousand, or ten thousand? The girl had never even dreamed of such a large number of gold coins, so it was no wonder that she was so excited.

"Don't forget, I've been observing the affairs of the Divine Realm, and I've been in the Rose Capital for four years, and what you've done may not be known to others, but I know best what you're capable of. With a pipe in his mouth, the old marquis said very calmly, "You look like you are only twenty-three or fourteen years old, but are you really so young?" I have never believed it, hehe, no matter what you say, but your style and methods of doing things are very similar to many of my old friends, which cannot be disguised. ”

"In your style, since you write it out for me to sign, there must be enough hole cards to force me to sign, otherwise you won't be humiliated when you write it. In this case, instead of delaying it until the end or signing it, it is better to sign it quickly so that you can open your hole cards as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I'm very satisfied that you're so happy, but the problem is, it's too fast, and I haven't taken the hole cards yet, I think you're deliberately embarrassing me. Shuer scratched his head in annoyance, causing the old man to chuckle, there is no doubt that he had already thought that Shul asked Talina to get the hole cards, so he rushed to sign before taking it to embarrass Shuer, which was also a small revenge.

"Dangdang. Thankfully, Tallina's knock at the door relieved Shure's distress, and Miss Sister walked in with a long wooden box.

As a result, the old marquis almost died on the spot.
