253 Investigation conducted (II)
"My lord, why don't we rush in! these orcs are untouchables, so don't be afraid!" There was a very majestic half-orc beside the insect master, and when he looked up, he was a bear face;
After the 'torture incident' happened, the insect master was arranged to investigate the matter, and the name of the orc in front of him was Xiong Nuo, and he was a deputy leader of the Violent Bear Legion;
I heard that he had completed a mission before and had already obtained the qualification to be promoted to commander, and if this investigation mission could be completed, he would be able to advance smoothly, so he was more eager than anyone else to solve the 'torture incident'.
"If you still want to be promoted to the commander smoothly, then don't do it!" Looking at Xiong Nuo's rushing appearance, the insect master felt his head grow for a while;
"Ah? why, my lord, didn't you say it all, the previous Magicians' Guild and Mercenary Guild have all been thoroughly investigated, it can't be them, the only possibility is not this church!"
"This is just my speculation, this investigation is not as simple as you think, the most important thing is His Majesty's plan, and the establishment of diplomatic relations with mankind is our first consideration;
After that happens, this is a critical period for us to communicate with the Human Federation, and Your Majesty doesn't want the scandal about the empire to be known to those humans!"
When he said this, the insect master's eyes blinked a few times, although Xiong Nuo was very arrogant, but he could achieve the position of deputy commander, and he also had a certain amount of caution, noticing the change in the insect master's eyes, he looked around;
At this moment, the riot at the entrance of the church has attracted the attention of many orcs, and more and more orcs have gathered around, and under the guidance of the insect master, Xiong Nuo soon found the shadow of a human in the crowd;
"My lord, are they spies of those forces?"
"It should be right, after all, although the empire has established diplomatic relations with them, they will not let go of any opportunity to see the empire make a fool of themselves!"
"Do you need your subordinates to arrest them?"
"No, it's just that we need to be cautious in our next search, and we can't cause conflict!"
"Understood, sir, but in this situation, we can't even enter the church, how can we investigate?"
"Don't worry, this opportunity has not come!"
After the insect master finished saying this, the original stalemate situation took a new turn, and I saw a commotion among the half-orcs who were gathered around, and then a human walked out of it and walked towards the position of the insect master;
"Excuse me, my lord, you are the leader of this team!"
Looking at the person's attire and the modest and peaceful tone, the insect master politely replied, "You're welcome, Bishop Moos, I am the captain of this investigation team, you can call me the insect master!"
"Oh, did Master Worm know anything about our church before, and even know my name?"
"Hehe, Bishop Moose said with a smile, I just heard of the hierarchy system in your church, but it is very strict, you should be wearing a cardinal robe, I think there is only one bishop in the church this time!"
"So that's the case, hehe, I don't know Master Worm, what is the reason for coming here this time?"
"It's not anything particularly important, there was a tragedy not far from here before, the bishop should know!"
"I know, I know, many of our sect members have been praying for that incident recently, hoping that the orcs who lost their lives in that tragedy will be out of suffering as soon as possible!"
"I see, then thank you Bishop Moos, but in the tragedy of that day, perhaps a criminal fled the scene and hid;
For the sake of the Empire's security, we have to check all the places to make sure there are no hidden dangers, and I think Bishop Moes should be able to understand that. ”
As he said this, the insect master's eyes gradually sharpened, and he stared at Bishop Moose tightly, as if he wanted to see if he would see a change in his face, but Bishop Moose still had the same smiling face;
"Of course, of course, then please take a good look!"
Seeing that after Bishop Moose finished speaking, he let go of his body so that the orc guards could enter, and seeing this, the insect master waved his hand to signal the others to enter the church and enter the investigation;
And the orc believers, seeing that Bishop Moose had moved out of the way, reluctantly let these orc guards enter the church, but his eyes were full of anger;
Leaving the Bugmaster and Bishop Moose outside the church, the Bugmaster and Bishop Moose chatted with Bishop Moose while they waited;
"Bishop Moos, I have to say that the church is really a magical existence!"
"Oh, why did Master Worm say that?"
"Hehe, I lived in the Commonwealth for a long time, and I remember that the place where I lived was a slum similar to this one;
Surrounded by some destitute civilians, half-orcs, we often do very dangerous things in order to survive, and the happiest day for us is the last day of the week!"
Hearing this, Bishop Moose's expression changed slightly, he didn't expect that the half-orc he was defeated was actually an existence that had lived in human territory;
"Is that the last day of the week?"
"Because on that day, a lot of people will go to a place where they will get food and even source stones, and all we need to do is chant to the emerald green saplings. ”
"My lord said that it should be a church!"
"Yes, I am very puzzled, isn't it true that the church does this in return? ”
"Of course, helping all those who are in distress on the mainland is the consistent purpose of our church, and it is also the reason why we believe in the 'Lord'. ”
"However, the resources required for this kind of relief are very large, I wonder how your church works?"
"This... This kind of question, which already involves the secrets of the Church, is evidently unwilling to be answered by Bishop Moose, and at this very moment there is a commotion in the church;
Then, Xiong Nuo walked to the insect master's side, whispered something, the insect master's face changed, and then looked at Bishop Moos, and then walked into the church;
Seeing this, Bishop Moose could only follow, and then they passed through the hall of the church to a secret room, and the orcs in charge of the search were blocked in front of the door;
For there were several believers dressed in white robes at the door, guarding the door and not allowing any orcs to come near until Bishop Moose appeared;
"Bishop Moos, there is such a secret room in the church, I want to ask you, is it convenient for us to go in and have a look, there is no other meaning, everything is for the safety of the Empire!"
At this moment, Bishop Moos's face changed for the first time, looking very solemn, and before the insect master could speak, Xiong Nuo on the side couldn't help it, and with a wave of his big hand, those half-orc guards immediately moved;
Breaking through the encirclement of those believers, he smashed open the door of the secret room by the most rude means, and then he saw the situation behind the secret room, and saw it at a glance, and went out of a staircase that extended downward;
In the entire chamber, there was only one emerald tree that radiated holy light, and the sunlight shone through the crystal barrier at the top of the church, shining on this not very thick sacred tree;
Perhaps it was because he felt the movement of Xiong Nuo breaking the door, and the sacred tree suddenly retracted, becoming extremely dim, and even the holy light disappeared just now!
"Presumptuous !!"
I heard a loud shout, and a powerful momentum erupted from Bishop Moose's body, sweeping out all the orcs who rushed into the secret room, pushing them out of the secret room, even Xiong Nuo!
"Master Worm, you are too disrespectful, the sacred tree is the foundation of our church's survival, didn't you just ask our church why it helps the poor people on the mainland?
That is holy water, since you have lived in the Federation for a while, you must know the miraculous effect of holy water, and you also know its value!"
"I see, Bishop Moose, we were reckless!"
"Okay, it's time for you to investigate, but you dare to disturb the sacred tree like this, I can't let you continue, please leave the church!"
"This... ”
"Please leave, what happened today, I will tell the Pope the truth, I believe that your majesty will soon explain whether you are such a rude existence in the Scarlet Empire!"
Speaking of which, coupled with the prying eyes of the people around him, the insect master knew that the investigation would definitely not continue, so he glanced at Xiong Nuo viciously, and then left with the investigation team.
"Big... My lord, I ...... Did we do something wrong?" On the way back, Xiong Nuo looked at the silent insect master and asked with a wince;
The insect master, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly burst out laughing, "Hahahaha!"
"My lord, my lord, are you okay, I did something wrong, even if you punish me, don't be angry!" The insect master's sudden laughter completely frightened Xiong Nuo;
"You're right, you're right, just scored, you're doing a great job, I think...... This investigation should be over!"
"Ah, my lord, have we failed? Your Majesty, will he punish us?"
"No, I still have one step ahead, you just have to go back to the Sky Mouse!"
"Yes, sir!"
When the words fell, the insect master left directly, and although Xiong Nuo was puzzled, he also knew that there were some things that Tan En didn't ask about, so he followed the instructions of the insect master and returned to General Tianrat to report the task;
Moments later, the Insect Master appeared in Christos Arthur's palace;
"How's the investigation going, is there any progress?" Christos, who bowed his head to deal with government affairs, noticed the arrival of the insect master, and did not look up, but asked directly;
"Back to Your Majesty, the investigation may have a result!"
"Hmm~, it's the church!" After a pause, Christos directly said a name, and when the insect master heard it, he nodded fixedly;
"It seems that Your Majesty already has a result in his heart?"
"It's not all, I can only say that it is the most suspicious!"
"Suspicious?"
"Yes, whether it is the Holy Kingdom, the Mercenary Guild, or the Magicians, there is an alliance with the Empire, but this church is almost unconditionally joined, which is too strange!"
"If there are no conditions, it means that there is a bigger intention behind it!"
This sentence caught the attention of Christos Arthur, who saw him raise his head, look at the insect master, and say a word in an exclamatory tone;
"It seems that I did the right thing about the decision to send you to the Federation! Now you are becoming more and more like a human race!" After hearing His Majesty's words, the insect master felt extremely panicked and hurriedly tracked;
"Please forgive your majesty, it's my blind guessing and talking nonsense!"
"Don't panic, you can have such an idea, it's good, the empire is growing now, and what is needed is an orc like you who can think with his head;
I hope you can keep it up, and in the next league, you put more thought into it, choose some suitable seedlings to send to the Federation, and strive for a few more people who use their brains like you, as for the battle, we are enough!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, have all the words I commanded you pass on to those people?"
"It's been passed on to them, but, you, will they believe it?"
"I don't need their trust, the purpose of telling them is just to inform us, we are strong enough that we don't need to rely on the trust of others to strengthen our position!"
Sitting on the high platform, Christos Arthur's voice was not very loud, but it roared like thunder to the insect master's ears, and in his eyes, Christos Arthur's figure became infinitely taller.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
