Walking a little lonely on the way to the church, Zhaoming fell into deep thought.

Although getting rid of Haradin is not only a practical necessity but also a systematic task, it is still difficult for Zhaoming to really make up his mind to take people's lives.

In the few days since he came to this world, Zhaoming has killed many demons, but he has never killed humans.

His original plan was to drive Haradin out of Black Rock, but the situation was beyond his imagination.

Unconsciously, Zhaoming looked up and saw the church that had just been renovated.

Lucia spent all the silver coins she had brought on the repairs, and of course Zhaoming also contributed a lot of money, after all, it was the responsibility of a lord and a knight.

Lucia, who was preparing for a vespers, saw Zhaoming coming, and temporarily put aside what she was doing to greet her.

"Welcome!" Lucia saluted as she spoke.

Zhao Ming forgot his troubles for a moment and said, "Lucia, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Lucia was the first person Zhaoming had ever met in this world, and she had spent the longest time together.

Zhaoming, who recently didn't come to see Lucia because he was too busy, felt a little guilty, but every time he arrived, he was warmly welcomed by Lucia.

During the conversation, Zhaoming looked at the renovated church and asked Lucia if she needed any help.

Lucia shook her head, now that the church had been restored to its original state, she could maintain it well on her own.

"It's ......" Lucia stopped talking, as if there was something difficult.

Zhaoming asked her to say that it was okay, and the nun hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to contact the church, after all, there can't be only one little nun in a city." ”

Lucia's sense of responsibility as a clergyman has always wanted to find her superior nuns, and even has her own idea of not going to Lindu for the time being, but she is immediately denied by Zhaoming

Zhaoming said that he would send someone to help her after taking care of the affairs here in a few days, and Lucia nodded and agreed.

There has been a tacit understanding between the two, and whenever there is a big event, Lucia will ask Zhaoming's opinion, and gradually have a feeling of snuggling with him.

And Zhaoming also enjoys this relationship, compared to Elusa, who is obedient, and Lucia's feeling of keeping a slight distance and being closely attached makes Zhaoming feel different.

Later, Zhaoming suddenly asked for a confessional contemplation, and Lucia was puzzled but took him to a separate confessional room.

Zhaoming entered the confessional and closed the door, while Lucia waited outside.

It was a rare moment of silence, and Zhaoming had time to sort out his thoughts.

Now that his three goals, building irrigation canals and recruiting troops, are on track, the mission of the Lord's Certificate is only two-tenths of a way off.

Now the big question left is how to deal with Haradin.

Zhaoming looked up, and the window of the confessional room showed the light outside, which was the most ordinary light.

Zhaoming got up and looked out, only to see two children curled up in their mother's arms under the eaves of a dilapidated house, and the light shining on them came from the Haradin trading house not far away.

With the help of the powerful hearing brought by the system's attribute points, Zhaoming could hear what they were saying clearly.

"Mom, when will we be able to pay off our debt to Master Haradin and take my sister home?"

The old woman with a face full of vicissitudes did her best to keep the tears from falling from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't worry, it's very... Soon will. ”

Zhaoming's heart suddenly tightened, the people of Black Rock City were deeply exploited by Haradin, and this black-hearted guy was still enjoying himself in his manor at the moment.

Thinking of this, Zhaoming couldn't help but blame himself.

Zhaoming, Zhaoming, didn't you hate those people who were high up and sucked the marrow of ordinary people the most?

Now that the opportunity to get rid of it is in front of you, what are you hesitating about?

Zhaoming turned his gaze back to the confessional chamber and knelt down on one knee in front of the statue of the goddess Enya on the wall.

"Goddess, your loyal warrior prays for forgiveness to you, and in order to save your good and innocent believers, I will have to use despicable means against a scumbag, I hope you will not be condemned."

After completing the confession, Zhaoming calmed down.

Although Trisda can't make Zhaoming fully trust, Zhaoming is still willing to give it a try.

"System, I need tools!"

"Ding! The system says you can exchange 10 faith points for potions!"

Zhaoming clicked on the exchange interface, and the system recommended a bottle of green potion.

Anyone who takes this potion will die of cardiac arrest within 10 minutes! Such a powerful effect made Zhaoming very excited, and he chose to exchange it without hesitation.

Looking at the green potion in his hand, a whole new plan was brewing in his mind, and Trisda would be a key part of his plan.

The door of the confessional room slowly opened, and Zhaoming was pleasantly surprised to find that Lucia had been guarding it all along.

Lucia gently asked him if he had relieved the distractions in his heart, and Zhaoming smiled and said, "Of course, thank you to Goddess Enya!" ”

The two seemed to forget about their usual worries for a while, and talked freely about their thoughts on the future.

During the conversation, Lucia asked Zhaoming what he wanted to build Black Rock City into in the future.

Zhaoming replied without hesitation: "I want everyone to have enough to eat and live happily, and I also want to drive the demons out of the human world, so that everyone will no longer be afraid of it!" ”

Hearing this grand wish, Lucia's eyes were full of reverence, she had never seen a lord think like this.

"May the Goddess bless your wish to be granted, and if I can help in any way, please feel free to command," Lucia said in a prayerful motion.

Zhaoming smiled and said, "Then please keep praying for me!" ”

It was getting dark, and Zhao Ming left the church under the watchful eyes of Lucia.

The Shadow kept exhaling, as if complaining to his master that he hadn't been able to gallop for a long time.

Zhaoming touched its back, its energetic muscles waiting to run at any moment.

"Good boy, we'll have a chance soon!

One man and one horse galloped through the brick-paved streets back to the town hall, which was still lit up at night.

Even Grouchy, who had been asking not to work overtime, stayed behind to deal with the affairs of the Black Rock Guard, and he seemed to have made assisting Zhaoming the most important thing in his life.

"Quickly sort out the roster, and the matter of transporting grain, we must do it within tomorrow!"

In Zhaoming's absence, Grouch is the leader of the government officials. Kaeya, who was sitting next to him, looked at his colleagues in command with some embarrassment.

Although Zhaoming gave Kaeya the same status as Grouchy, he felt that he did not have the ability to match it, and he did not do anything that Illumination told him.

On the other hand, Grouch has always advised the lord before and after the saddle, and is a real right-hand man.

Just when he was distressed, Zhaoming just walked in, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was "Grushi come to my office", looking at the backs of his colleagues and lords, Kaeya was a little lonely.

In the office, Zhaoming first praised Grussy, because of Trisda, today's recruitment work was actually led by Grouchy.

Zhaoming said apologetically: "Thank you for your hard work, because because of my dereliction of duty, you don't have time to go home to spend time with your family." ”

Grouchy shook his head, saying that it was his honor to share the lord's worries, and he also made a suggestion for Zhaoming.

"My lord, our food can't last long after all, and the current situation should still have a good relationship with Haradin, after all, the surplus grain that can be purchased in the whole city is in his hands."

Grouchy, who made this suggestion, was a little nervous, he knew that the lord and Haradin were on the surface and on the contrary.

Akira knew that he was thinking about himself, but now that he had made up his mind to get rid of this creature that had plagued the people of Black Rock, he just couldn't reveal it to anyone for the time being.

"I'll think about it more, you guys hurry back and rest, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

Grouchy said goodnight and withdrew, only to realize that his maid and secretary were gone.

"Elusa? Vanessa? Where are you? ”

Zhaoming was puzzled, only to hear a noise from upstairs, and the two girls hurriedly ran downstairs.

"Sorry host (adult)"

The two girls lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly at Zhaoming, which made him more and more confused in his heart.

"What are you doing?" Zhaoming asked curiously.

The two girls looked around with restless eyes, but they couldn't say a word.

Zhaoming was a little angry and ordered them to look up at him.

Elusa slowly raised her head, her face full of shyness. Vanessa said nothing but looked up, begging Elusa to tell her what had just happened.

"What the hell did you do......

Before Zhaoming finished speaking, Vanessa suddenly covered her face shyly and ran out, and Elusa also lowered her head.

"Elusa, come over and tell me what's going on," Zhaoming ordered with some annoyance.

Elusa moved to Zhaoming a little embarrassed, Zhaoming couldn't wait any longer, and directly grabbed her by the waist and hugged her into his arms.

"Ahh

Before Elusa could react, she was already embraced by Zhaoming, and the faces of the two were so close that they could clearly feel each other's snorts.

"I'm going to be angry if I don't say anything!"

"Master don't, I'll say anything!"

Under Zhaoming's "coercion", Elusa took her and Vanessa on the third floor to study how to attract the master's attention.

"At first, we just wanted to discuss the clothes that the owner liked, but Miss Vanessa became more and more energetic, and then we ......"

By the end of the day, Elusa's face was flushed and she had to cover it with her hands.

Zhao Ming wonders why Elusa wants to discuss this kind of thing with Vanessa, and Elusa explains that because Zhao Ming always spends time alone with Vanessa in the office, she thinks that Vanessa must have something that attracts her master.

Looking at the shy girl in his arms, Zhao Ming smiled from ear to ear, but he didn't expect this little girl to be really jealous.

"Well, you'll always be with me in the office from now on, so you can see what I'm usually doing to her," Zhao Ming said with a wicked smile.

Alusa was a little worried and asked, "This... Can it really be? ”

Zhaoming smiled and explained that she usually just had too much work, and if she was worried about what would happen to her and her secretary, she would come and see for herself.

Elusa hurriedly said, "No, no, the master and Miss Vanessa can do anything, I won't bother!" ”

However, Zhaoming still ordered her to wait in the office tomorrow, and leave the cleaning of the mansion to Barnett for the time being.
