Chapter 70: Intimidation of the Cult (I)
After all, in the eyes of the three of them, it is possible to fight for more benefits - joining forces to completely defeat Sherlock, and then the three of them will divide the family property, which is much better than eating the little leftovers he throws out.
As a result, they have little interest in swearing allegiance to become knights, even if in name, which has both advantages and disadvantages, and although they can get a part of the benefits first, they also have the disadvantage of being nominally subject to human rule.
And the original sin of greed makes them all prefer to only profit and not bear a little responsibility.
"May I interject?"
At this time, Luo Ming suddenly said such a sentence coldly.
"Hey?" Charion was stunned for a moment, looking at Luo Ming's fresh face, and let out a puzzled voice.
However, neither Sherlock nor the two knights raised objections. After all, Luo Ming claimed to be a descendant of the nobility, and they basically believed it.
The three brothers on the other side were completely unfamiliar with him, and it was impossible for them to directly raise objections. Instead, I thought about letting him talk about it first, and see what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.
Luo Ming coughed lightly, stood up, and began his speech that was not a simple sentence at all.
"Yesterday afternoon and night, Mr. Sherlock, who had just returned to his hometown, was assassinated twice in succession, and although the Assassins were eventually repelled by our heroic efforts, in retrospect, the situation is still outrageous.
In this evil act, not only is there a hidden psychology of some people, I will not name a specific person, but there is no doubt that his desire for power must be far greater than the blood of the family.
In the assassination, an ugly fact that is a hundred times more shameful than blood cannibalism was exposed, and it must be thoroughly explained in front of everyone. ”
The first sentence surprised everyone in the room. Even Sherlock, Granty and others, who already knew what he was going to say, admired his rhetoric.
Of course, he is not a writer, and he has not written novels and essays of millions of words, etc., but the sentence that he has read more than 10,000 volumes and writes like a god still makes sense.
The amount of information that modern people on the earth have been subjected to is itself a kind of capital: a 20-year-old young man has read 100 world famous books, nearly 1,000 online novels, adding up to 2 or 3 billion words, all of which are printed into physical books, adding up to tens of thousands, which can fill a middle school library, which is about ten times that of "10,000 volumes" in ancient China.
After all, the little nobles in this world may not be able to read a hundred books or millions of words in their lifetime. In comparison, Luo Ming's eloquence is naturally good.
Then, seeing that the crowd was still immersed in his speech, Luo Ming struck while the iron was hot, and he waved his arms and said in a voice like a mustache of the Third Reich:
"Oh, gentlemen, gentlemen, you may think that there is no sin in this world that can be a hundred times more evil than blood cannibalism. I'm sure many of you here will think I'm being alarmist.
But I can use my sword and my reputation to assure that there is such a sin, and that this evil does not arise from the normal human world, but from the cursed evil place outside the human world. ”
As he spoke, he glanced inside the tent, and the faces of the three brothers on the other side all changed, but they did not behave particularly differently.
However, the fierce news is still to come-
The devils and false gods from the lower realms do not want to collude and lure our earthly people into corruption and depravity all the time. In fact, there are villains who are disgusted by the brilliance of the gods and sell their bodies and souls to evil.
I have no doubt, and even sufficient evidence to conclude that in both assassinations there were cultists who believed in the forces of evil, and that I could personally take the oath in the temple of the Lord of Dawn, in the presence of the revered clergy.
Except for the identity of the successor of the Barony of Miana, there was no other reason for those filthy people to target such a noble young master who was not famous, and stretched out a poisonous hand, and even sent a strong man of the sword master level to attack. This inference is also irrefutable. ”
When Luo Ming said this, the boss Charion shouted angrily: "What are those cult madmen going to do, how can there be logic at all? Besides, I don't know anything about cultists, don't talk nonsense-"
"Are you questioning this me, who dares to swear to God?"
Luo Ming sneered and glared back with sharp eyes.
"This Miss Grant beside me is a swordsman who has cultivated a glorious fighting spirit, you should understand what this means. Do you have any comments on her witnessing with me?
Or are you questioning the credibility of the Church of the Dawn?"
He plays a play on words, avoiding the fact that "now Grant is out of the Church of Dawn".
The other party will only think that she is a genuine holy warrior, and she may even come here with a special mission to fight the front station, and she will be followed by a bunch of strong reinforcements, which will arrive in two days.
"Just wait a few more days, more professionals like her will come here, and at that time, it will be natural to catch the cultists and find out the fools who collude with them. ”
At this moment, Luo Ming carefully observed the expressions of the three people opposite.
The boss, Charion, looked surprised and anxious, with a little bit of fear that could barely be concealed.
The second Xia Lando trembled, and subconsciously moved his gaze to glance at the brothers on both sides.
This is not surprising...... Even if they are not the ones who colluded with the cultists, as long as they accept the investigation in this regard and are released, there will certainly be many strange rumors that will seriously damage their reputation.
Maybe you will also suffer a lot in the process of investigating. The torture of torture and treatment, which makes people faint in pain without a single scar on their bodies, was invented by the Inquisitors.
And, look at how familiar Grant and Login are...... In the minds of the nobles, it was not surprising that one or two of them were framed and all of Sherlock's rivals were kicked out of the game.
Moreover, his cousin is likely to collude with the cultists, and this crime is much more serious than trying to assassinate his cousin, who knows if that person will collude with the cultists to kill the second and third cousins, and kill the heir until he is the only one left.
