Chapter 182: Moral Compensation
Blackstone County: What is this knight nobleman going to do when he takes office in Senjin Town?
The half-elf frowned, he had a ghost in his heart, and it was inevitable that he would have some bad suspicions.
Rosen Charcha, the tax officer who had been sad for him before, and the head of the chamber of commerce named Miton, all died at his hands, and some cover-ups were not done well enough.
It's just that even if the death of the tax collector and the head of the chamber of commerce is investigated, he will not be contacted for a while, which is not too worrying, and the purpose of this knight nobleman may not be this.
Not only did he loot some valuable gold coins, but he also received a 'secret letter' from the tax collector, which contained information on various aspects of Senjin Town.
Maybe it has something to do with that, Loki thought to himself.
But this is a matter between human nobles, and it has nothing to do with him, and the half-elves don't really need to bother with that effort.
The druid apprentice with the status of a noble lady, Moira also eavesdropped on the side, and said with a sigh.
"No wonder this knight looks familiar, it turns out that he is from Blackstone County, it seems that the intrigue of this group of nobles is indispensable everywhere......"
The half-elf was beside him, teasing the druid apprentice, "Miss Moira, isn't your father also a viscount?"
Moira snorted coldly and said, "My father's family runs the territory and caravans, and Jin abides by tradition, and will not participate in this kind of thing, Loki, you still care about yourself......"
She thought for a moment, slowed down her tone slightly, and said, "Looking at the situation of this cultist, the task you took before must not be simple, there are several shadows of the church behind you, you better be careful." β
The half-elf's face changed, and he looked at the pair of demon skin gloves on his hand, revealing a few holes, and said.
"You're right, I really should be careful, such a dangerous mission requires some mental compensation......"
......
Town Hall Meeting Room, Senjin Township.
A wrinkled forehead, some of the old nobles coughed, and said, "These guys from the Thieves' Guild." β
"Although they are not very clean, they have also done some things for the nobles, so it is not good to move them like this. β
A handsome young knight with soft black hair patted the table and interrupted.
"Mr. Spencer, what you said is old. As far as I know, the current Senjin Town Thieves' Guild actually only recognizes gold coins, and at most is responsible for the upper echelons of their organization, and is not affected by us nobles. β
The old Spencer hesitated, "But, Garcia Knight, there are some ...... in this."
Garcia said a little toughly, "Nothing, Mr. Spencer." β
"I know what you're going to say, right? The sneaky Thieves' Guild does have some things that our nobles don't want to talk about. β
There are five official members of the town hall, except for the instructor Deyour, all of whom have a certain aristocratic status, and their age and qualifications are no less than that of the knight Garcia.
Someone looked at Mayor CarrΓ© Daller, but Mr. Mayor had a blue eggplant cigarette in his hand, puffing out the smoke but not speaking, with a tacit attitude.
Some observers quickly thought of the knight's deep background in Blackstone County, no wonder Mr. Mayor didn't speak, I'm afraid he didn't dare.
Garcia glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Purifying the Thieves' Guild, this is actually a good opportunity. β
"Helping those church gods is not only to sell them a favor, but also to destroy the so-called aristocratic handles of those who are involved. The weakened Thieves' Guild is no longer a destabilizing factor. β
"And the thieves' union can still be used by me, controlled by our town hall......"
Knight Garcia's eyes narrowed, looked to the other side and said, "Mr. Mayor, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Mayor Mare nodded, "Knight Garcia, what you said is very good, I don't think anyone will object, so be it......"
......
Silver Flame Church, Senjin Township.
In a quiet prayer room, the bright warm light of the flickering candles around the statue of the Silver Flame Lady gives a sense of peace and holiness.
A priestess in a silver silk white robe with a black cursing scar on her face and forehead was praying in silence intently.
As she prayed sincerely, the black lines on her face were disappearing and diminishing.
But then, there was a whisper of evil temptation in his ears, and the black radioactive curse pattern began to recover again, and even increased a little.
After stopping her prayer, the priestess slowly opened her eyes and spoke to the figure that had been standing silently beside her.
"Priest Penny. In fact, we should know without Ms. Silverflame's reminder. Some things in the world were actually foretold very early. This cultist of the Thieves' Guild is by no means an isolated case. β
"The footsteps of evil are always approaching, but unfortunately, there are some things that are difficult to stop even if you know, this time just a believer who believes in evil gods. Next time it could be more terrible demons, and strange witches, these evil guys, who covet everything about humanity, and they may not calm down. β
Priest Penny's expression was calm, and she said firmly: "No matter what kind of evil is in the way, the purpose of the Silver Flame, without compromise, is to purify all evil. β
Priest Rye was silent for a moment, then added, "You're right. β
"But as a priest of Silver Flame, you should also pay attention to your own safety, and during this time, you should be more vigilant. β
Priest Penny nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Priest Rey, I see......"
The conversation was abruptly interrupted, and a report from a knightly guard was heard outside.
"Priest Penny, the half-elf is here, do you need to call him in?"
Penny glanced at Priest Rey, who nodded, and then she instructed the knight to escort, "Just ask him to come in." β
The thick door of the prayer hall was pushed open, and the half-elves saw the two more priestesses.
"Good day, Priest Penny. And this one, it must be Priest Rey?"
"Yes. Priestess Penny, who had a beautiful face, nodded and replied with a smile.
This goddess official has a dignified and sexy temperament, and the holy silver silk white priest's robe still can't hide the hot figure of this goddess official.
Priest Rey next to him, who did not hide the cursed scar covering his face, looked at the half-elf with some emotion.
The priestess said in a hoarse voice: "Half-elf Loki, you have grown up, I didn't expect to see you here, Olivia will definitely be very pleased." β
The half-elf sighed, even though he had changed so much, he was still recognized by the priestess.
He has a large memory store, and it can be said that the faces he has seen can match the number based on just a few characteristics.
When he was on the street before, even if he didn't know the name at the time, Loki recognized the strange-looking priestess.
This Priest Rye was a lady performing magic tricks in the Okumuki Circus when she was in Fog Castle City, and she must have hidden in the Okukki Circus at that time, so she had a certain purpose.
It's just that at that time, Rye was not cursed, she was a young and beautiful lady, and there were no cursed scars like this black stripe on her skin.
The half-elf asked, "Priestess Rey, don't you know how Olivia-sensei and everyone from the Autsuki Circus are doing?"
