Chapter 414: You Dare to Try It
Just as "Father Brendan" was still thinking about countermeasures, a group of people had already entered the gate of the Church of Generosity, led by a young man in a black hat, with a pestle and a silver cane, accompanied by seven or eight men and women, and a big unremarkable cow.
Such a lineup was really peculiar, not only the many believers present were surprised and curious, but even the black-clothed friars under Brendan were shocked.
"You...... Are you also believers who come to the church of generosity? ”
A middle-aged man near the door hesitated.
Chen Lun smiled at him and said gently:
"Of course, so to speak."
Immediately, he took a step forward and led his men to stride forward.
Seeing this, the believers in front couldn't help but get out of the way, looking at the strangers who suddenly came in suspiciously.
I saw that the black-clothed priest standing on the bulletin stand suddenly changed his face, walked down the high platform quickly and respectfully and slightly flatteringly, came to the black-hatted young man at the head, made a very standard prayer, bowed his head and said hello:
"Brendan, Councilor of the Golden Cup, has met Lord Archon Jackspet!"
The faces of the believers showed shock.
Father Brendan was so respectful of the young man that he addressed him as Lord Consul...... Could it be that he was at the top of the Council of Generosity, a clergyman who was closer to the "God of Covenants"?
"Lord Archon Jack."
In order to show respect for the God of Covenant and their own pious beliefs, nearly 100 believers in the hall learned to greet Chen Lun with Brendan.
Chen Lun smiled, bowed his head to everyone, and said slowly:
"Call me Father Jack, and I will henceforth be in charge of this church of our Lord, preaching to every believer, and preaching the Justness of the Doctrine of our Lord."
"What about Father Brendan......?"
The fat rich merchant from before asked.
The rest of the believers were also a little concerned about this issue, after all, the Council of Generosity was the new Orthodox Church, and they were more familiar with this Father Brendan in their first contact.
"Ah...... I will be moving to churches in other areas, and thank you for your concern. ”
Brendan glanced at Chen Lun's face and found that the other party was still smiling, so he took the initiative to explain.
"The Intramuros Church is located in the heart of the empire, and its importance is self-evident, and of course it requires the more advanced and better clergy of our religion...... Compared to me, Master Jack is the best fit. Rest assured, Master Jack will definitely solve the problems of every believer. ”
"That's ...... so"
The believers nodded, and although they were a little reluctant, they still chose to accept it.
Although the black-hatted gentleman in front of him looked too young, his status was higher than that of Father Brendan after all, and he believed that any business problems and confusion about doctrine that he encountered in the future could be solved from the other party.
At this time, Chen Lun seemed to have suddenly discovered something new, his face was surprised, and he pointed to the large golden wine glass on the wooden platform on the side and asked:
"What is this?"
"Forehead ......"
Brendan's expression tightened, and panic flashed in his eyes.
And the believers were a little puzzled, how could this Father Jack in front of him not even know about the "Holy Water of Atonement", which was obviously a gift from the gods of the Generous Council......
In the crowd, a tall, thin merchant stepped forward, prayed and replied:
"This is the 'Holy Water of Atonement' given to you by Father Brendan, which can wash away the sins we have committed and receive forgiveness from the 'God of Contract'."
Brendan's expression became even more nervous, and he was about to open his mouth to explain, but Chen Lun raised his hand first and stopped his words.
"It turned out to be 'Holy Water of Atonement.'"
Chen Lun pretended to be abrupt.
He glanced at Brendan quietly and sneered to himself.
In fact, before he came in, he split his fingers into a small white snake and slipped into the church in advance, spying on everything. So Chen Lun knew very well that this guy was simply in the name of the King of Killing, swaggering and deceiving, and wantonly accumulating money.
His Majesty Conrad may not have cast his eyes on such a trivial matter, and even if he did, he would not have paid attention to it.
But Chen Lun couldn't let this kind of thing happen right under his nose, after all, this royal city church was now under his jurisdiction...... If this matter were to be revealed, it would not only undermine the prestige of the Generous Council, but also make the other consuls of the Senate, and even the Speaker, look down on him.
At the beginning of the new Council of Generosity, everything should be done with care.
Otherwise, the prestige gained in the Scarlet Battle is very likely to be ruined by some small things.
Although Chen Lun is not a faithful believer in the King of Slaughter, he is also favored by Him, and holds a high-ranking position in the council, so it is reasonable to take action to protect the face of the council.
His smile faded into a serious and indifferent expression.
Brendan's heart jumped, and he secretly said badly.
However, Chen Lun said in a slightly reproachful tone:
"When the church of generosity was first built, many believers in our Lord came to visit us, and we should love them as if they were relatives...... How can you fool everyone with this ordinary 'Holy Water of Atonement'? Father Brendan? ”
"Ordinary ...... 'Holy Water of Atonement'?"
Brendan was stunned.
He had expected Archon Jack to expose his deception in public, and then reprimand or reprimand him, but he didn't expect that the other party would not do so at all.
"Father Jack, what do you mean...... Is there any other 'holy water of atonement'? ”
The believers looked at each other, and the fat rich merchant hesitated.
When they saw Father Brendan's surprised expression, they were a little puzzled and could not confirm the authenticity of the matter.
"Of course."
Chen Lun nodded calmly.
He raised his hand slightly, picked up the small glass on the table, scooped it into the golden wine glass, and then drank the "holy water of atonement".
I secretly said in my heart, what a trick, this is tap water, and it hasn't even boiled yet...... Brendan's sand mouth, isn't it a joke that people drink holy water and have stomach trouble? Even if you cheat money, you can take care of other people's health!
"This is indeed an ordinary 'holy water of atonement'."
Chen Lun's eyes lowered and he said softly.
"But there is a higher and more sacred 'Holy Water of Atonement' in our religion, which is a gift from God that only the fortunate ones who have received the favor of our Lord are entitled to...... Not only does it wash away past sins, but it also heals diseases, restores injuries, and even delays longevity and physical aging. ”
The "holy water" he was talking about was the "spring of immortality" found in the Great Forest of Coleridge before, and there were several large barrels in the Blood Poetry Ring.
This thing doesn't do much for the transcendental, but it does appeal to the average person.
Especially the rich and powerful upper-class people.
These believers in front of us are a good audience.
Of course, Chen Lun will not expose Brendan's despicable behavior in public, because this can be regarded as a disguised admission that the priest of the Generous Council is cheating and making money, which is not conducive to maintaining his prestige.
He intends to take this opportunity to make amends, to turn the original deception into reality, to achieve the purpose of promoting the reputation of the generous council, and to reverse the bad thing into a good thing.
As for Brendan the person, I will slowly settle accounts with him after the matter is over.
"Is there really such holy water? Father Jack? ”
Beside the fat rich merchant sat an old man in rich clothes, his eyes lit up, and after standing up tremblingly, he asked expectantly.
In addition to him, there are many other believers who also show longing and anticipation.
Women yearn for eternal youth, the elderly yearn for longer life, and patients yearn for good health...... The holy water that Chen Lun said just hit the deepest thirst in their hearts.
"I was assigned to the Intraurasa Church, and I happened to be given a little bit of this holy water."
Chen Lun nodded in acknowledgement, and then took out a fist-sized golden cup from his arms, which contained half a cup of clear and transparent water, not much, only about four or five mouthfuls.
Everyone looked at the fiery gaze in unison, staring at the golden cup in his hand.
Even Brendan and his men on the side couldn't help but be stunned.
Did Archon Jack really come up with something like this?
I've never heard of such a "holy water of atonement" in the Council of Generosity......
Chen Lun snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
The large gold cup belonging to Brendan on the table slowly levitated, and then a wisp of orange-red transcendent flame climbed up the body of the cup, and in a few breaths, the "Holy Water of Atonement" inside boiled.
The believers exclaimed again and again.
Looking at Father Jack's calm face, I only felt that his tall figure had become taller. However, Chen Lun just wanted to boil this cup of tap water so that these believers would not have stomach trouble.
Immediately, Chen Lun poured the "Immortal Spring Water" in his hand into the large gold cup.
"All the believers present can drink a small cup for free."
He spoke slowly.
The crowd immediately boiled.
"Father Jack, you are so generous!"
"This is your personal gift, and you actually took it out to share it with us......"
"Praise the contract, thank you for the gift!"
Chen Lun turned his head and asked Brendan to arrange for someone to scoop out the holy water in the cup and distribute it to each believer.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly agreed.
"Good...... Okay, Master Jack. ”
With the help of the black-clothed monk, the nearly 100 people present all drank a small sip of the "Holy Water of Atonement" added by Chen Lun, but their reaction was also quite intense.
I saw that the fat rich businessman breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, his face was ruddy, and he said with an excited expression:
"Too ...... It's amazing, I've never felt so energetic and the cold from the previous two days suddenly got better, it's amazing! ”
"Sure enough, it was a divine object given by the great 'God of Contract', and my joint pain for decades has now disappeared directly! Can I really live two more years? Thank you, Father Jack, thank you so much! ”
After drinking the water, the old man stood up straight, and when he talked about the emotional place, he couldn't help but cry.
The believers were overjoyed.
And Brendan on the side realized that Lord Jack had probably taken out something extraordinary and acted as the so-called "holy water", but this made him feel a little pity.
It is really a waste of such a good thing to be used on these ordinary people.
Today's service has ended, and the believers, after some thanks, said that they will come to the church to pray every day, Chen Lun smiled and bowed slightly, watching them leave one after another.
After the church of generosity was quiet, Brendan lowered his eyebrows and said:
"Lord Jack, I received the news that you are coming to the Wangcheng branch a month ago, I didn't expect you to come today, please forgive me for the disappointment."
Chen Lun just glanced at him lightly and didn't speak.
Brendan's heart was pounding, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Lord Jack...... I didn't deceive those people, but the council was newly established, and those rich businessmen had more or less played tricks in the business field, otherwise they would not have amassed so much wealth...... Using the 'Holy Water of Atonement' to make them feel better will also increase their support for the council, and I have not deliberately cheated them out of money, which they have donated voluntarily. ”
He quickly explained.
Boom!
The door of the Church of Generosity suddenly closed, and the light dimmed suddenly.
Brendan was startled, and immediately looked towards the gate, only to see one of Lord Jack's male subordinates in a suit and leather shoes, closing the door.
"How much money did you accumulate using this method before I came?"
Chen Lun said indifferently.
"Four...... More than 50,000 gold pounds. ”
Brendan swallowed and said nervously.
He then hurriedly explained:
"But I didn't spend the money indiscriminately, and I didn't take it for myself, but invested it in the renovation and construction of the church district, as well as in personal contacts with members of the royal family...... These are contributions to the Parliament! ”
"You're very good at putting gold on your face."
Chen Lun nodded.
He didn't want to listen to this person's quibbles anymore, so he directly used "mind stealing" on him.
[You perform "mind stealing" on the target Brendan!] 】
[Will Judgment ......]
[The target will 39 points, your will 82 points, the judgment is successful!] 】
Brendan looked shocked on the spot, as a Sequence Five Transcendent, he clearly felt an unrivaled force that forcibly invaded his mind and snooped on his secrets.
"...... you?!"
Brendan opened his mouth slightly.
Chen Lun's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at him.
Because the truth of the matter is that this guy not only made nearly 100,000 gold pounds, but also secretly deposited it into his personal imperial bank account. As for the construction of the church district, the headquarters actually allocated 45,000 gold pounds as a fund, and Brendan also embezzled most of it, and only allocated 5,000 gold pounds to renovate the church area.
It's no wonder that the construction period has been delayed for so long and has not been completed, it is all this guy who is doing ghosts!
And there is naturally a reason why he is so unscrupulous......
"Arrest the cancer and moths of this council, and I will escort them to the headquarters chamber for a collective trial...... Let every member of parliament see what kind of character this Jinbei parliamentarian is. ”
Chen Lun said coldly.
Floy behind him took a step, her face as frosty, and she raised her hand to summon a huge black scythe from the ground, followed by a wolf howl, and the companion guardian of the [Phantom Oath], "Ghostly Wolf", also emerged from her side.
"Master Jack!"
Brendan stepped back again and again, panicking.
"In accordance with the Bible doctrine of generosity, I ...... I didn't betray the council, you can't do that! ”
"Also according to the Bible of Generosity, the power of the consuls of the Senate is supreme except for the speaker, and I can kill you on ......the spot without reporting it."
Chen Lun looked at him calmly.
"Do you believe I'm going to do that?"
Brendan was really scared, he was sweating profusely.
The black-clothed monks on the side did not dare to act rashly, and even those who were afraid knelt down directly and buried their heads in fear.
"I'm a member of the Houston Archon's Golden Cup! Master Jack! Other...... Don't do that, I apologize to you, and the gold pound in your hand will also be divided into ninety percent! ”
Chen Lun's eyes were indifferent from beginning to end, and the other party's words did not affect him in the slightest.
He waved his hand, and Floy charged at him, followed by the giant wolf grinning his teeth.
Brendan was unwilling to rest on his laurels and was planning to use his Sequence ability to resist.
But at this moment, I heard Archon Jack's fluttering words:
"If you dare to do it, I'll kill you right now."
Brendan suddenly felt an extreme chill coming, like a terrifying beast, staring at him with those eyes full of murderous intent, as if as long as he dared to act rashly, he would be beheaded on the spot in the next second.
Archon Jack can sit in a high position in the posture of Sequence Five, which is the prestige of killing.
Sage of the families of Terrence, Rafa and Rotoff...... Which of these big incarnations was not beheaded by Jack?
Brendan let out a thud, plopped, and fell to his knees in despair, allowing Floy to restrain him. But he still had hope in his heart that the Houston Archon would stand up for him......
However, Chen Lun sneered as if he had seen through his thoughts.
"The rest of the people are also imprisoned, Floy, write a letter on my behalf for the Faceless Attendant to send to headquarters, I want to see what Houston has to say!"
"Yes."
Floy complied.
Chen Lun's eyes were deep, and he was thinking in his heart that he would make up for this guy's scam today, and he should be able to beat his reputation through those believers, so that more people would come here.
At that time, he will be able to gain a better foothold in this royal city.
His goal was simple: to give the Council of Generosity the same status and prestige as other Orthodox churches, so as to live up to the trust of Speaker Azgilro.
I went to the hospital, and there is only one chapter today
