Chapter 557 Pulp Fiction (Part II) (Asking for a monthly pass.)

"Smile like a priest" is an old proverb that has been handed down since the day the Father's Church was born.

This phrase is usually used to describe people who ask you to borrow money, street vendors peddling low-quality goods, professional fraudsters, and others with their eyes on your wallet.

It is well known to the people of Big 6 that if a priest smiles kindly at you, nothing good is true.

What's more, it's a cardinal who is an upgraded version of the elite priest.

When they smile, even if they are colleagues within the Holy See, they must be careful to cheer up their spirits.

Marino is also a battle-hardened old fritter, seeing Cardinal Calados' peaceful and bright smile, his heart suddenly raised his vigilance, but on the surface he was also quiet, with a sweet smile on his face, and a few perfunctory words with Carados.

Cardinal Cardinal Calados pulled Marino and said some common things, such as the weather is good today, I heard that your disciple has been promoted again, and the affairs of the headquarters are messy, fortunately you are in charge, and so on.

While Marino was perfunctory to Cardinal Carados, he was quickly calculating what the hell the other party was up to.

The two chatted warmly for a while like old friends who had not seen each other for a long time, and Archbishop Calados finally took Malino's hand affectionately, and walked to the conference table with Marino and sat down.

After Cardinal Calados sat down, he saw that everyone had arrived, and then he gossiped a few words, and even told a small joke, which caused everyone present to laugh, and then he coughed lightly and announced the official opening of the meeting.

Under the auspices of Cardinal Carados, everyone sat together and picked up the newly issued documents of the Holy See, carefully studied the recent speeches of His Majesty the Pope on diligence and love for the people, and then carefully comprehended the noble spirit of His Majesty the Pope's selflessness and compassion for the people.

Then everyone spoke freely, combined with their own surrounding situation, and talked about their experience in the specific implementation process.

For example, due to the recent market depression and the impact of the economic crisis, the sales of indulgences have been declining.

Just jumped off the building and sold it in tears, and those damn people are still too expensive. Those dead people are really too ignorant~

Everyone who harmed us now can't afford to make apportionments. There was a big pile left, which could only be wiped with those indulgences.

You must know that there are indicators and tasks within our Holy See, and indulgences are one of the main sources of income for everyone.

Our Holy See has a great business and a large population to feed, and it is enough to rely on those few acres of land and the little filial piety of the believers, especially now that the believers are not as good as before, the richer the less they respect the Father, and the less money they give.

The chief priest here, the bishop doesn't have a big wife and a small wife to support, and he doesn't generate income, so that everyone can take what to pack the junior, and what to use to find a job for the children, open a company and buy a BMW.

The indicators of indulgences are all issued according to their positions, and the more grassroots the clergy, the greater the task indicators, of course, this is to exercise the work ability of grassroots employees.

If you can't complete the task, you will be criticized by the notice, and more importantly, if the task of this indulgence is not completed, everyone's pocket money will be gone, because of the matter of buying land in Naian, everyone has been a little tight recently, and many people are looking at this money with their eyes.

Although that handful of paper ...... Uh, that's wrong, it's the indulgences, and the people who bought the indulgences were bought in a copper plate and a roll, but those handwritten papers...... Phew, bah, the raw materials for those indulgences were all imported from the Flying Eagle Company.

The quality is excellent, even after wiping, it is okay to blow your nose again.

And the paper is ...... Uh, indulgences, indulgences are expensive for a reason.

For example, everyone has to tear it neatly every time before they take it out and sell it.

Not to mention anything else, just to see that the paper is so neatly torn, and it is all manual operation, such a complex work, but it requires extremely advanced high-tech technology to complete, and the Holy See even hires a large number of high-tech workers for this purpose, although it solves the employment problem of many cheap brothers-in-law, but the salary is also a large expense.

Our material cost is expensive, and the labor cost is high, so it is a little more expensive, which is completely in line with the objective requirements of the market.

But those damn people still dare to complain, you just don't have indulgences, you can buy them back as handsome papers~

It's really a bunch of people who have to make a big effort to send out the madness of the Inquisition...... Well, the faithful and true believers of the Inquisition go and educate them well......

Or, by the way, teach them the correct use of indulgences?

In addition, it is said that some places are already unstable. Therefore, the Assembly is asked to consider whether the Templars should be sent as well the next time the indulgences are forcibly apportioned.

If any bastard dares not to pay the money during the apportionment, he will directly deduct a pagan's hat for him, and then cut off his head on the spot, so as to deter the dead people.

......

The meeting went on and on for more than an hour.

Marykno, with some sadness, found that he was indeed old.

If in the past, when he was a young low-ranking priest, if he had noticed that these benevolent shepherds, the patron saints of the people, and the elite elements of the human world actually used words such as "dead people" and "diao people" to describe the people under his rule, he might have raised objections on the spot.

Later, after listening too much, he fell silent, only frowning slightly.

And now, he heard that these elites of the human world were trying their best to scrape the last copper plate from those people and take away their last grain of food.

They were even forced to smash pots and sell iron, sell sons and daughters, and sell their kidneys to pay tribute to these greedy jackals for them to maintain the luxurious life of the wine forest meat pool and the BMW mansion.

But......

But he was already so calm that he didn't react at all, to be precise, he was already numb to the same stream as those splashing and filthy pigs.

Marino even laughed at himself in his heart: Compared to us, vampires who have fallen into darkness are really pure

He looked up at the gold leaf that was embedded in the opposite wall, covering the entire wall, and through the reflection of guò's shiny gold leaf, he could vaguely see his old face with white hair.

Malino couldn't help but laugh, and he realized that from this point of view, he was actually more like a jackal and a pig than the brawny guys.

Since everyone is from a background, they climbed to today's position by stepping on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Which dog cub has not unjustly killed a few people in his hands, he is embarrassed to greet people, and even going out will make people look down on you.

They were accustomed to all the ugliness of this gloriousness, and even here the big men had no doubt that they were going to hell when they died.

Although in the meeting, one by one said murderous, but this meeting of everyone could not lift their spirits at all, all of them dozed off, although in front of Cardinal Carados, this high-ranking and powerful person, Cardinal Maryknoll also dozed off.

He knew very well in his heart that, in fact, all these meetings were all a virtue, and it didn't matter what was held or what was said.

91 duho his bsp; What matters is who will chair this meeting.

In fact, it's the same as the yellow dog running to the roots of a tree to pee. It's all about showing everyone their sense of existence.

I, Misterhan Sanhu is back again~ Everyone has to be honest with me.

The so-called three fires for new officials to take office are also the same reason.

No matter what you do, no matter how nonsense it is, you have to do it in the end.

Why?

It's not to show how the new official is, sandwiched between Niu A and Niu Bsp; The meeting went on and on. Finally, seeing that it was about to be time for dinner, Calados saw that everyone was all groggy, and coughed lightly, and then said, "Let's stop here for today's meeting." Let's move on tomorrow. ”

When everyone heard this, they all woke up like a dream, and suddenly became energetic again, and began to gossip with each other.

Maryknoll also let out a long breath, thinking that he had escaped the catastrophe.

He was about to get up when Calados stopped him and said, "Bishop Maryknoll, please wait a moment. ”

Malino immediately froze, as if the old face of ten thousand years of ancient wells could not help but show a shocked expression.

Someone next to him immediately cast all kinds of meaningful glances at him, envy, jealousy, hatred, mockery, contempt, contempt, and contempt, all of them.

But Malino sighed secretly in his heart: I would rather listen to the impolite speech of the lowly priest who had just turned his nostrils to the sky, than to hear the great man call my name politely in his sweet voice.

But he immediately retracted his expression, turned around respectfully, and said, "I'm here to listen to your orders. ”

"My dear Maryknore. Calados played with the scepter in his hand and said in a very casual manner: "I don't know if you have heard, there are rumors that the close disciple of Cardinal Obakhim, the cardinal of Naian Province, and the daughter of the gods, Shilmelia, is pregnant. ”

Marino was stunned, and said in his heart: This is impossible, the most talented saint...... Pregnant? God, she's not like that.

Maryknoll finally understood why the chaplains in the Holy See were talking to each other.

Marino shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "No, my lord, I haven't heard of it, maybe this is another rumor concocted by the darkness for a while." ”

Calados tapped his palm with a scepter and said with a smile: "I think so, so the Cardinal Council decided to organize an investigation team to go over and see which bastard dared to spread such rumors, which bastard dared to spread such rumors, it was really irresponsible~"

He frowned a little angrily, then looked at Marino, and continued, "I hope that you will lead this investigation." ”

Marino's face suddenly turned pale and pale.

The rest of the people present were discussing where to go while packing their things, and when they heard Calados's words, they all tightened up and closed their mouths tightly.

Despite the beautiful words of Cardinal Carados, everyone is smart. Who doesn't know what kind of cat is in this?

If the last time the Bishop of Fordo was sent to Ne to look for trouble, it was a tentative attack, then this investigation means that the struggle between the two factions has officially begun.

The struggles within the Holy See are often several times more brutal than the struggles with the undead, if not dozens of times.

It's not surprising that the fight against the undead, that's everyone's job. And it's also nominal, used to trick the common people into sending money to themselves.

As for saying that you do more and do less, do good and do bad, it's all the same, of course, you don't have to work so hard.

It's like the self-defense forces of the Ugua country saying that they are here to protect all the Ugua people. It's usually beautiful, but when the nuclear power plant explodes and these imperial warriors are needed to work hard, who of you doesn't pee your pants and shrink back desperately?

What's more, the conscience of heaven and earth, since the last war, the undead fled in a hurry, and in the past thousand years, the Holy See has really encountered the opportunity of the demon race, and they have not fought with themselves as many times.

And the fight with one's own people is to smash each other's jobs. Or to keep your job. Keep the car, the house, the horse ticket...... And so on, this series of things that have only come to terms after years of struggle.

This kind of thing, of course, has to die, you are dead and alive.

Marino wanted to shirk it, but when he looked at it, he found that everyone around him was in a strange silence, looking at him gloomily. Cardinal Carados, who sat opposite, seemed to be absentmindedly playing with the scepter, but the cold light that flashed in his eyes was full of murderous intent.

Malino's heart chuckled softly.

He is keenly aware of the mystery involved, and if he refuses, he will be considered a member of the Obakhm faction in the next moment, and then be relentlessly retaliated.

He knew the ruthlessness of this Calados. It is likely that after going to bed tonight, you will wake up the next morning to find yourself in peace and returning to the Father's embrace.

Even outside on a tree with a crooked neck, it's not impossible to find yourself swinging with your neck.

This terrible consequence made him feel a little creepy at the moment.

Therefore, Maryknoll had already made a decision in an instant.

He bowed slightly and said softly, "As you wish, my lord." ”

Calados grinned at the moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good, good. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "If you have any requirements this time, you can just mention it." Ask for people to give, and soldiers for soldiers. We can't afford to make the fool's mistake of Fordor's last time. ”

When Marino heard him, he shuddered as if he had heard an ominous prophecy.

He knew that Fordo went to Ney'an, wanted to find trouble with Neymelia, and then took the opportunity to kick out Chillmelia, and then took control of Ney'an's Holy See, but he didn't act secretly, and was cleaned up by the other party. There was a dead body.

And the other party for the high-level people who arrived in Naian, it was a carrot and a stick, and they went down, and as a result, they all pulled those people over, making the people of Obakhim's family suddenly sit up.

As a result of this, Calados's power gradually weakened. Maybe that's why he's jumping up and down so much?

Only by showing a sense of retribution, making some achievements, and suppressing Obakhim, can he regain the support of the people. Hold on to his unshakable position.

Thinking of this, Marino reluctantly smiled, "Yes, my lord." ”

Calados looked at the look on his face, smiled at the moment, and said, "My dear Marino, you can rest assured. All of us here will help. ”

He turned his head, looked at the people present, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it, everyone?"

Everyone looked at each other, their faces showing joy, and then they all nodded.

None of them are fools, and the so-called great help actually means that they can get a piece of the pie when the time comes.

Nessan.

The original barren land is now a piece of fat and oily fat~

Who would have thought that after the young man arrived, after a short period of governance, he would achieve so much.

The current Nai'an, simply, uh, no, is in fact a huge gold mine~

The snow-white table salt, the huge merchant ships, and the transparent glass can shine into every huge mirror. The horse-drawn carriage was quick and easy, and it was unusually smooth, and there was a vast expanse of fertile land......

When everyone thought of the great wealth there, greed flashed in their eyes.

As long as he brought down Sylmeria, she was charged with a crime. Drove her away.

At that point, you will be in charge.

With everyone's wrists, openly and secretly, those luxurious and valuable things did not fall into their hands in the end. Then you can also take the opportunity to continue the rampaging there. Live a life of drunken beauty, drunk and dreaming of death.

As for the Count of Lorraine?

Hmph, a little young and self~

Even if there is some ability, but in comparison, that experience is absolutely insufficient. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so rich.

Is this unclear, let everyone slaughter his fat sheep?

There have been those heroic generals and marshals in the past, but no matter how good they can fight, who can hide from the secret arrows of the Holy See?

No matter how good you are, so what?

It's not the end of a cup of yellow sand yet~

Someone chuckled quietly and said, "I can buy my son another pony." ”

Someone said even more excitedly: "Haha, I've always asked me to give her a floor-to-ceiling mirror of Ney'an, and now it seems that the money can be saved." Because Ney is right now ours. Hahaha......"

"I've heard that the beauties around Lorraine are pretty good. When the time comes, you can do a good job of thinking about them well. In the dead of night, of course. ”

"Hahaha......"

The high-ranking members of the Holy See laughed knowingly. The laughter splashed obscenely, as if this was not the abode of the Holy Father, but a gathering of shameless princes in a spilled courtyard.

This is understandable, because in a sense, these guys are not even as good as the dukes, because the dukes sell their labor to make money, and they sell the trust that people trust them. That is, commonly known as a traitor~

But they still have no scruples.

Because these people know that they all hold great power, although they are fish and flesh people, and they are tyrannical, but there are few people in this world who can check and balance them.

They can do whatever they want, and they can continue to be beasts.

The people of Calados discussed a few more details with him, and saw that the time was indeed not early, so that Marino retreated, and came back tomorrow to continue the discussion, so as to have a foolproof plan.

When Marino stepped back, he looked at the waiter next to him with an impatient look on his face, and the table next to him was also full of all kinds of delicacies.

As he retreated, he cursed in his heart: This damn deadback miser. The crumbs raised by the dog~ are reluctant to even take care of a meal, it is really not worth old Marino's life for him.

Calados watched Marino's figure walk out the door, with a smile on his face that had only been stingy when sending the death squad out to charge, or to deceive people.

Therefore, once Marino's figure disappeared, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, the corners of his mouth were pulled down, and his eyes were fierce, revealing his true face as ferocious as a vulture.

The attendant next to him came over and respectfully asked him to lay out a snow-white linen napkin. Calados waved his hand, threw the napkin aside, and then said lightly: "Don't eat, no appetite." It's all down. ”

The attendant was stunned for a moment, looking at the dishes that had been selected from all over the world, and then transported over as fast as possible, and carefully prepared by the world's top chefs, and then respectfully agreed, and retreated.

Calados looked down at the text in front of him, and in the upper right corner of the snow-white and clean paper, there was a small golden eagle logo, indicating that this was a high-grade paper produced by the Flying Eagle Group.

But the paper was a record of all kinds of information collected by the priests and priests under the Cardinal Cardinal of Carados.

And this information is used against the Flying Eagle Company, which produces these papers.

How do you look at this, how does it look like a vulgar and ridiculous joke~

But the fluent handwriting on the paper shows that these are all true.

Calados reached out and stroked the gold eagle label on the paper, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Soon, perhaps, Lorraine's hard-working industries will become their own industries, and their own badges will be printed on paper.

The wealth, the company, and the beauty......

Thinking of this, he ordered sharply: "Notify it, the operation is about to begin, and all localities must actively cooperate, if there is a delay, they will be killed immediately~"

Later, there was a hissing sound in his voice, like the sound of a poisonous snake spitting letters.

An indifferent voice in the shadows agreed, and then left quickly.

Calados sat down at the table and pondered quietly for a moment. Then he reached out and picked up a straight tube next to him and blew gently into it.

The straight tube was made of fine work, and a whistle sounded at the other end of the connection.

Immediately afterwards, Karados heard a noise from inside, and he said in a sweet tone, "Honey, would you please come over?"
