Chapter 11: Joshua's Cobwebs

The morning light shone on the ground, and the people of the church dispersed after breakfast, leaving Lilith and Doris in the church except for Joshua and Anna.

"Father Joshua, are you so comfortable letting the children out? Is this a bit dangerous? ”

Lilith was a little uneasy, although she had only been in Black Mountain for a day and didn't know the security situation here, it was not a good thing to let the children leave the orphanage at will.

"There is no need to worry about this, after all, everyone knows that the orphanage has been here for many years, and this is also something that must be done in order for the orphanage to continue to operate."

["The greenhouse is nothing but waste, and this simple task can't be done well, how can it be used for me in the future."] ”】

Joshua didn't understand the dangers of letting children play outside at will, but in order to support the Montenegrin Weekly, he needed enough information, and the fact that the children were kept in an orphanage did affect their mental health.

At first, Joshua was a little worried about the children's safety, and asked them to travel in groups and never go to sparsely populated places.

At the same time, with Father Joshua's status and prestige, the people of Montenegro generally do not embarrass the children, and the children will help them in any danger.

This reassured Joshua, but to Lilith she was more concerned about the tasks Joshua had given the children.

"Did they go out to help you with something?"

"Yes, the Montenegrin weekly newspaper needs to produce a certain amount of content every week, and I have to maintain the work of the church alone, so the matter of finding out information can only be left to the children."

It should be said that this is not Joshua's original world, or else he could sue him for child labor.

In fact, Joshua also considered whether to hire some people to be professional reporters, but there is not much news that can be used as news in Montenegro Town, which is a small place, and once you hire professional adults, you may lose money.

It can only be said that the helplessness of life has made children shoulder the weight that should not be shouldered at this age from an early age.

"Let the kids find out!"

After Joshua's reminder, Lilith remembered that she had only noticed the surveillance when she entered the town of Black Mountain yesterday.

Although he forgot about it after discovering that it was only a few children, he now remembered that his every move was in Joshua's eyes.

At the same time, the Black Mountain Evening News, which Lilith cared about very much, turned out to be Joshua's handwriting.

Using the children to earn money and training the children's intelligence search skills, what the hell is this guy going to do?

A question that had been haunting Lilith's mind was answered as why Joshua, as a god, didn't report his identity.

Joshua didn't want to give up his business in Montenegro, or the kids who had been training for years.

Lilith began to lead Joshua's perspective, and if the Montenegrin model was promoted, it would be a success, and no one would be able to compete with him.

The key lies in the Montenegrin Weekly, which suppresses the cost to less than five copper coins.

Once this model was promoted, Joshua would be able to put people who were clearly sneaky in all sorts of places.

This greatly reduces the literacy and survival rate of spies.

Lilith had to admit that this was a genius idea, and if she was Joshua, she would be reluctant to leave here, after all, once she arrived at the Papal Palace, she would inevitably be restrained under the noses of so many strong people.

A cobweb belonging to Joshua is unfolding.

"Can Blackstone Really Make Money?"

"Although it didn't make a lot of money, it was not bad to keep the church and orphanage running, after all, the cost was compressed to the extreme."

Lilith's question was actually a bit of a trade secret, but the other party was a saint and helped him a lot, and Joshua answered the question head-on.

Of course, you can't talk about such a thing as movable type printing.

Lilith listened to Joshua's words, the core of which was nothing more than things like saving money and cutting money, and another voice sounded in her ears, but the content was a different story.

["Isn't it easy to make money? There are always people who have a secret that they don't want to be known to the world, and in order to keep this secret from being known, they understand how to choose. ”】

This guy is blackmailing the aristocracy.

Lilith understood the meaning of that sentence, when Joshua had enough information about Black Mountain, then he could inform all the nobles who had a scandal in advance, and if the nobles didn't want their scandal to be exposed, then Joshua would be in control.

Of course, if Joshua can do such a thing, he is naturally sure that he will never be killed in private.

As the only priest in Black Mountain Town, once he dies inexplicably, it will attract the investigation of the church, and the probability of such a small local nobleman wanting to hide it from the church is too low.

At the same time, Joshua, who has mastered the Montenegrin Weekly, is the most powerful person in Montenegrin Town, once he has three longs and two shorts, many shady things may be poked out, which is something that the nobles do not want to see.

Not to mention Joshua's own prestige.

You must know that for the common people who are still ignorant, they cannot go to the kingdom of God if they cannot confess to the priest before they die, and Joshua has presided over the funeral in Montenegro for an unknown number of times over the years.

These people still remember Joshua's kindness, and offending Joshua in Montenegro was not a rational choice.

At this moment, Lilith understood that this Black Mountain town had become Joshua's territory, and as the only clergyman here, he was needed to preside over the funeral when everyone was facing death.

This right to speak has given Joshua the confidence to face any nobleman in the town, plus the right to speak and the economic benefits brought by the Black Mountain Weekly, as well as the power to absorb the negative emotions of others.

The right to speak, the people's heart, the capital, the power.

Joshua, who had mastered these things, was the Emperor of the Earth in the town of Montenegro.

"Father Joshua, please help us too."

Just then, a couple walked towards the church, and looking at their anxious looks, Joshua hurried forward.

"What happened to John?"

"Yesterday...... Yesterday my kids didn't come back and I've been looking for one night. ”

"Little John is gone? Didn't anyone see it? ”

Joshua was stunned, knowing that there had been no traffickers in Black Mountain for many years, which was also Joshua's confidence to let the children move freely.

"No one saw it, we went to the place where he usually played, and asked many playmates, but ......"

The couple told Joshua about the results of their night, which caused a sense of unease in Joshua's heart.
