Chapter 100
"It's better to do business and make money quickly!" Lei took the space bag and only glanced at it, and then he was completely stunned, and after staying for a long time, he couldn't help but say this, "Why don't we look for people everywhere, just concentrate on doing business all over the mainland." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoI think if this continues, in just three years and five years, you will be able to accumulate enough wealth to buy a country!"
"Stop dreaming!" Sui Xiong laughed, "How can this kind of thing be done so often!, as a god, I abuse advanced teleportation techniques to do business...... Don't think about face, this kind of bad rules, other gods can't agree to it. If you think about it, basically one god can do this, so why don't other gods do it?"
Ray thought for a moment, shook his head, and sighed.
He didn't understand the world of gods, but His Majesty the Void Kamen made a lot of sense.
This is like the royal family holding a knight competition, and His Royal Highness the prince himself participated in the competition, how undecent!
...... Wait, this kind of thing, it seems like maybe...... So familiar!
Touching his nose, he smiled a little awkwardly.
Early the next morning they arrived at the house of the knight of Parn. This time they were greeted not only by Mrs. Teague and her two daughters, but also by a dozen young boys and girls.
Their faces were a little worried, but more than that, they were hopeful, and they all looked a little apprehensive and eager when they saw the hope of getting rid of their debts.
Lei didn't sell it, and said straight to the point: "The money has been made." ”
These words were really concise and clear to the extreme, but the effect was very good, and the eyes of the boys and girls suddenly lit up, and even their breathing became much shorter.
"Excuse me...... Do you need us to do anything?" asked an older, more sedate young man, "and, frankly, if you really had to pay back such a large sum of money, we would be very upset. ”
Lei nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Then this money can be regarded as my investment in you." If you can grow up and grow into a good person, then the investment is worth it. And what if you're unlucky...... Even if I'm not lucky. ”
At first glance, this statement seems quite reasonable, but when you think about it carefully, it is extremely arrogant, and it is nothing more than a variant of "everyone makes friends". It's unbelievable to take a huge sum of money that adds up to more than a strong man to make friends with everyone!
"Sir, please don't make fun of us, okay!," said the young man, with a wry smile, "perhaps this money is nothing to you. But for us, it's a terrible sum of money that can simply crush us. We can't afford to make that investment, and it's going to make it hard for us to sleep!"
Lei didn't rush to answer, his eyes slowly swept over the boys and girls, and in everyone's faces and eyes, he saw the same meaning.
He couldn't help but smile again: "I'm glad to meet such a group of upright young people. So let's change the way that will give you peace of mind...... As for this money, even if it is an indefinite interest-free loan. I'll add a few more as necessary so that you can grow well. When you are strong enough, you can slowly save money to pay it back. I believe that a mature risk-taker will be able to pay off this loan slowly. ”
At this moment, the boys and girls all breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions were obviously much more relieved.
"This group of young men and girls is really interesting!" Sui Xiong said with a smile in the Psychic Connection, "Ordinary people are hollowing out their minds to take advantage, but they are good, seeing that there is such a big one who does not take advantage of it, but looks relieved after being in debt......"
"This is an upright man! He is a believer in the Pioneer Knights! I can even infer from this how wonderful the elders who taught them were!" said Ray with admiration and regret, "What a pity! Such a group of excellent knights unfortunately died in the vast sea......
Speaking of this, Sui Xiong was immediately reminded: "It's better to ask them, maybe they will have some clues." ”
So Ray asked these young people about their doubts, and everyone seemed at a loss, and they all said that they didn't know anything. It's just that Lei Fenming saw a cold light in the eyes of the young man who spoke as a representative before, and it seemed that he was different from others and knew some special news.
So when the boys and girls thanked him one after another, and took enough money to pay off the debt, he also took his leave and quietly followed the young man.
Soon after, he came to the young man's home.
This is a simple wooden house, very bit of a homeless wall, judging from the traces, a lot of furniture should have been recently sold, it can be seen that this young man in order to pay off the debt, almost to the point of exhaustion.
Despite this embarrassment, he was able to gain everyone's trust and speak as a representative, and judging by the attitude of the crowd, he was probably still above Liv in the small group of boys and girls.
At least Ray felt that he probably didn't have the ability to do it.
The young man was not surprised by his visit, and was in the mood to pour him a glass of water.
"I'm sorry, but now I have no servants, no food, and no wine. He said, "Originally, my friend came to the door and according to my uncle's rules, he should bring out the wine, but I sold the last bottle of wine in the house a few days ago, and now there is only water at home." ”
Although he said something very frustrating, he smiled cheerfully, without a hint of gloom: "My name is Zesheng, and a few months ago I had the surname 'Xiyu', but now it is gone, and the manor and fief have been sold...... May I ask your name?"
"Ray, just call me Ray. Ray smiled and said, "The surname is actually just like that." It's good to inherit your ancestor's surname, but it's better to start your own family name for others to inherit, and I'm sure you'll be the latter. ”
"Haha, Mr. Lei, you really think so highly of me!" Zesheng laughed, smiling very happily.
After laughing, he began to tell what he knew.
Originally, he didn't know more than anyone else, but when he sold the manor and fief, he stumbled upon something unusual.
It is said that the presiding priest of the Church of the Noble God arranged for his successor before he set sail, and even left the most important powerful magic items in the local temple, almost on the boat with his bare hands.
Zesheng went to the only surviving ship to ask about this, and coincidentally, almost everyone was so impressed by the main priest that even if they hadn't seen him before, they could clearly remember how he died—it was when he met Timsall, when the chief priest held up the emblem of the noble god and prayed loudly, and his body was full of light, and even blocked the erosion of the rotten shadow for a time.
Although he only resisted for a short time, he was soon consumed by the swarming darkness and decay, and died tragically at the hands of Timsall, but it was because of his efforts that he attracted the attention of the terrifying monsters, and the only surviving ship was able to escape.
It is precisely because of this that no one doubts that the Church of the Noble God is playing tricks - suspecting a warrior who sacrifices himself to save others, which only the most deranged person can do!
However, Zesheng sensed something was wrong in the descriptions of the survivors—in the face of a terrifying monster like Timsal the "Dark Tide", why could a priest only use such conspicuous and simple means to fight it? And as a priest of an evil god, he would sacrifice himself to save others?
This doesn't make sense, this doesn't make sense!
He had secretly asked the priest of the God of Knights, a powerful priest, what he should do when he encountered a monster like Timsall?
The priest pondered and replied that if it were him, he would pray to the gods for grace to detonate all the divine power he had accumulated over the years, and try to break his bones to see if he could deal a heavy blow to the monster.
"You're a good priest, so what if you're an evil priest?" Zesheng continued to ask.
"It's the same with evil priests. A good pastor is to protect others, and an evil pastor is to fight the enemy. Although the starting point is different, the final choice will not make any difference. The pastor replied without thinking.
As a result, the doubts in Zesheng's heart deepened.
What was it that made the presiding priest of the noble god choose such a glorious way to fight that didn't help much? Why didn't he choose to blow himself up?
He thought about it and could only come to one conclusion in the end.
The reason why this priest did that was to save some people a little, and to make it clear to those people how they had died, so that they would not doubt themselves, and would not doubt the Church of the Noble God.
As for why he asked everyone not to doubt themselves and the church, there can only be one conclusion.
It's all a pre-arranged conspiracy!
That's the end of his story. During the whole process, Ray listened quietly without saying a word, and only after listening to the whole story did he ask questions after some thought.
“...... In other words, all of this is actually your speculation, and there is no reliable evidence?"
"Yes, I don't have any proof. Zesheng smiled bitterly and said, "If this is a conspiracy, then there shouldn't be many people involved, maybe only the merchant uncle who organized this voyage...... But he also died, along with his steward, at sea. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't find out. ”
Ray frowned, as Zesheng said, if this was the conspiracy of the chief priest of the Church of the God of Nobles, then this conspiracy was too ruthless - for the sake of preaching, the main priest not only sacrificed his partners, but even sacrificed himself.
If you want to track down such a conspiracy, at least in the city of Jinta, I'm afraid you won't be able to find any clues.
"Perhaps...... How about discussing with Aunt Teague?" Seeing his sad face, Zesheng persuaded, "When my uncle was still alive, whenever there was any problem, I often consulted Uncle Parn and Aunt Teague. He once said that Aunt Teague was a very wise and talented person. Although there is a lack of some long-term vision, when there is a set goal, it is often possible to draw up a good plan, or find out the problems and loopholes that people have not found. ”
Lei was slightly stunned: "Then why didn't you ask before?"
"It wasn't necessary before. Zesheng smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, Aunt Teague was in a difficult position to protect herself, even if I told her this news, what use would it be except to make her troublesome in vain?"
Ray sighed and accepted his advice.
Soon after, he visited the house of the Knight of Parn again and told her the information about Zesheng.
