Chapter 152: Tight Strings
>,!
This is not the first time that the fire sacrifice of the Funeral Cult has appeared in the city of Candin, long before Duras became the archbishop, the city of Candin was deeply poisoned by the Funeral Cult, it is known that there are knights from hell, there are immortal believers, and the most powerful warriors in the city of Candin have no resistance in front of them, they can control the flames, they cannot kill or disperse.
The reason why Duras was regarded as a god by the city of Candin was because the Burial Cult never appeared again after he became the Archbishop, and now the terrible Burial Cult has reappeared, and it is Roger who will face them at this time.
Because of last night's fire, the whole city of Candin was in a panic, and the suspicion of Roger spread like poison, and he knew that everyone was watching him now, watching how he solved the funeral matter.
"Brother Roger, this is a tax bill sent by the Chamber of Commerce",
The little witch pushed the door in, and Roger sat in his chair and dragged his cheeks to close his eyes, he had not slept all night last night, and when he came back with a terrible face, she was about to tiptoe out.
"Put it on my table",
*No*wrong*little* said
Roger stopped her, he wasn't asleep, he was just thinking about the funeral.
The little witch trotted over and put the tax bill on his desk and ran behind him and smiled: "Brother Roger, I'll pinch your shoulders",
She put her little hand on Roger's shoulder and held it, since Roger took office, she has not been back to the hotel, she works here every day, and sleeps here at night, she feels hard to see.
The mansion was poorly furnished and understaffed, and it still relied on Brobé and the little witch to support the scene.
Roger patted her hand and smiled, "No, you go play, I'll look at the documents for a while."
"Then Brother Roger, you need to rest more."
Roger nodded. After she took the door, she picked up the tax bill on the table and took out her chamber of commerce statement from the cabinet and checked it, looking at it, her face sank again, what he was worried about still happened, and the chamber of commerce in Candin City began to deceive him.
The tax bill of the Chamber of Commerce is completely wrong, Roger sneered in his heart, he just came to such a trick as soon as he took office, does the Chamber of Commerce really want to tear his face with himself?
"Whew",
A flame burst out. A flame slowly rose in front of him, and Nikolai, dressed in a red uniform, walked out of the flames, and without the heat of the flames, he came to Roger's mansion so abruptly.
Roger looked up at him.
"You don't seem surprised to see me," Nikolai said with a polite smile.
Roger said, "Why should I be surprised?Last night's fire festival was just to force me to submit, if you don't come to last night's everything, does it still make sense to you?" ,
Nikolai smiled: "It's a very worry-free thing to talk to you",
Roger nodded and said, "It's really worry-free, I have only one answer for you." No way",
"Don't ask anything. That will only expose your stupidity, and I will not provide you with prisoners for fire sacrifices, as Duras did, nor will I allow you to embezzle a penny of money from the city of Candin".
Nikolai laughed and said: "Roger, the prisoners who provide us with the fire sacrifice can stabilize the city of Candin, save the citizens here from harm, and make your position as the archbishop more stable, and the stupid believers here will fear you as much as they fear Duras, and for you this is only good, no loss",
"As for the money, it's all the money of the Chamber of Commerce, I can help you force them to comply", Roger sneered, "Is the fire sacrifice to their family and friends? like yesterday?",
"It's just one of the means, we can still do it",
"I don't want to know your methods", Roger interrupted them, "You think that if the Chamber of Commerce fools me, I will allow you to do anything? You think yesterday's fire will force me to submit? You think that prisoners should be burned to death? Do you think that if I sit in this position, everything will be like the mad dog of Duras?",
"You are wrong, in my eyes, although the Chamber of Commerce in Candin City has the nature of a businessman, it can still be wooed, although the citizens of Candin City are blind and blindly obedient, they can still educate, although the prisoners of Candin City have committed crimes, they have paid the due price, I will find a way to make them reform, as for you, the burial religion that spreads terror and sacrifices the living will always have only one position with me, the enemy, the enemy who is incompatible, and the enemy who will never die",
"So, now you can get out",
"I'm sorry you did something wrong",
"Roll",
Roger shook his hand with a glass of water to extinguish the flames, Nikolai's illusion vanished, and the cold water spilled on the ground with a rattling sound, Roger sat in his chair and thought for a while to write a letter to the little witch, and then he told Brobai to gather the guards and go out.
Roger went straight to the Executive Hall, it was nine o'clock in the morning, the Executive Hall was sparsely occupied, and Husman was pacing back and forth, and when he saw him, he hurriedly greeted him.
"My lord, you came early", Huesman looked at his dark circles and said, they didn't sleep all night last night, and Husman squinted for a while when he came back, but Roger kept staying up like this, and now he was impressed by the young archbishop.
Roger smiled cheerfully: "You are also very early, you have been complaining about the idleness of the Executive Hall, Huesman, you are busy from today",
Huesman said, "My lord, it is the duty of the administrative department to give the citizens a stable life."
Roger nodded and sat down and took out the blueprints of Candin City from his arms, and said that the guards in his mansion and the others had lost their spirit, but now the Funeral Sect is eyeing each other, we need a group of brave guards to guard the various city gates, and the Funeral Sect must enter the city in person if it wants to carry out fire sacrifices, and if we had set up defenses at every city gate last night, Vlad would not have been able to retreat so easily."
The Vlad he said was the black-clad knight last night, and the people of Candin City called him "Prince Thorn Xing",
"Husman, from today onwards, all the guards that were originally subordinate to the Executive Hall will be returned to you, take them to defend themselves, and the Funeral Sect will not give up."
The guards outside the administrative hall lined up neatly, and these guards had been idle for a long time since they were requisitioned by Duras, and they were filled with emotion when they saw the door of the administrative hall again.
Huesman was also full of emotion, looking at the familiar faces from a distance, he actually had a feeling of being separated from the world, he had been elevated for so long, he had been neglected for so long, he finally saw this guard team again, and his heart was indescribably excited for a while.
"My lord, I will never let the miscellaneous members of the Funeral Sect step into Candin City again, I, the Director of the Executive Department, Husman, would like to vouch for you, I will guarantee the safety of Candin City with my head",
He stood up and looked steadfast. (To be continued......)
