Chapter 19 [The Situation]
After coming out of the secret room, it was not early. Unexpectedly, this stay lasted for most of the day, Lin Tao secretly told that it was not good to hurry up and see how the situation was outside, and at the same time, he had to ask someone to notify Loria outside the city to return to the city, so as not to make her anxious.
The servants who had gone to the prayer service also rushed back, but all of them did not look very good, and their expressions were a little sluggish, as if the sky had fallen. Some people still have red circles under their eyes, and they have obviously been crying for quite a long time. In this regard, Lin Tao could only sigh helplessly, people's hearts are really weird.
Today can really be regarded as the end of the world for these family slaves, everything that happened today and everything they saw had a strong impact on their inner small world, constantly polishing their outlook on life and worldview. Originally, they felt that the Holy See was a great being, that any infidels and enemies would fail, and that God would definitely protect them. And today they saw that the wicked heretics had taken away the God-blessed Bishop Gandy, and they couldn't believe it. It seemed to them that the white light that flashed from the power of faith was God's protection.
Although Lin Tao was secretly happy in his heart, it was not easy to show it on his face. After all, everyone knows that Laurivic is one of the most devout believers, and what happened today is naturally uncomfortable for Laurivic. Therefore, the servants of the family saw that their lord's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, as if everyone had sent him gold coins. Even the smiling and warm old man today scolded the two ineffective slaves for the first time.
These subordinates were suddenly silent one by one, not daring to provoke Lin Tao at all, for fear of being scolded.
When they entered the inner court, there were no more domestic servants. Because this is the place where he and the dark group and others are active on weekdays, they will not allow those unreliable family servants to exist at all, even if someone can come in, they are ordered by themselves in advance, and most of the things are ordered by the people of the dark group. It can be said that in this mansion, the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard are fundamentally two worlds, and the people in the inner courtyard can be regarded as confidants by Lin Tao.
So as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, the smile on Lin Tao's face melted, and he walked towards the study with a small song. At this time, Yawen He Yiming and the other three people from the dark group came over and greeted them respectfully.
"General!"
"Master!"
Lin Tao nodded, stretched out his finger and pointed to the study, without saying much, just motioning for them to go into the study to talk.
Today, I got a lot of inside information about the Holy See through Gandy, and I knew that the priest supervision team in each city was responsible for monitoring the people of Pingtou, so it was a lot more cautious to let Lin Tao drive. for a man who may not be among the servants of his house.
After entering the study and bringing the door to the door, Lin Tao asked in detail about the current situation of all parties in the city.
successfully completed the task assigned by Lin Tao last night, and seeing that the major things done by the general were unexpectedly smooth today, Yawen also had a smile on his face. After completing anything in the morning, he also consciously observed the situation in the city, and now that Lin Tao asked, he naturally said it in 1510.
"General, the situation in the city is quite complicated right now. The prayer ceremony was destroyed by you, Bishop Gandhi was captured, and a large number of priests and worshippers died on the spot, plunging the entire city of Ayibagh into chaos. Some of the ordinary believers are terrified, and some even say something unreasonable. Speaking of this, Yawen's words paused, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking.
Lin Tao waved his hand, "What should they do? These people are all crazy, and they have been deceived and helped to count the money." One day they will regret what they did today and thank me for all I have done for them. As for the believers who died at the scene, they were all people who dared to attack me, even if they killed me, they were worthy of it. ”
Although Lin Tao didn't need to explain anything to everyone, he didn't want them to misunderstand the purpose of his attack and see themselves as a person who killed innocents indiscriminately. If it is someone else, Lin Tao doesn't have to care about what they think of him, but these are the people around him, and there are some things that he still has to talk to them, of course, it is related to the power of faith, and such a big secret will not be revealed in a word. It's not that you can't trust them, because telling them this kind of thing hurts them.
Yawen and the others nodded, they naturally believed Lin Tao's words, after all, they had gained many benefits along the way with Lin Tao, and now they saw themselves as Lin Tao's subordinates, but they had intentionally or unintentionally forgotten their other former identities. As for what Lin Tao said about these believers who were deceived and were still helping to count the money, in the eyes of Yawen and others, it was naturally General Lin who learned some ugly inside stories of the Holy See after he caught Gandy.
"The city of Ayibagh is in shambles. On weekdays, the clergy in charge of security in the city have ordered the entire city to go under martial law, and search everywhere for the whereabouts of the alleged murderers, apparently trying to rescue their bishop. At the same time, rescue signals were constantly being sent to the outside world, and it was estimated that a large number of priests and other cardinals would soon arrive in Ayibagh City to take over the matter. ”
Lin Tao nodded and did not speak. The current situation is something that I have anticipated between actions, and I have taken a lot of preventive measures, and it is not a big deal. As long as he goes to the headquarters of the Priest Monitoring Team tonight and erases some negative records about his identity as Laurivic, he can be relieved. Even if his outside world is a mess, no matter what happens to him Lin Tao, he just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and start the next step after this limelight passes.
After thinking about it, he turned back to a few people and said, "In view of the current situation, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. From today onwards, the people in the dark group will no longer have to go out every day and night to find out the news. After that, you can go out once every three or four days, even if you go out on a mission, you have to be cautious, and you have to come back in half a day at most. Well, I will also use this time to guide you in your cultivation. ”
Lin Tao's words naturally made the people in the dark group and He Yiming happy, and Yawen nodded happily at the moment.
At this time, Lin Tao waved his hand and said, "Send someone to bring your young lady back, and prepare wine and food tonight, let's have a good drink." Well, the plan to celebrate today went very well. ”
"Yes!" a few people smiled and took the order, and they were about to go out.
"Wait!" At this time, Lin Tao called out to them and said, "Prepare the wine and food in secret, and don't let the servants of the outer courtyard know." And there is another task for you, and if I am right, there must be clergy of the Holy See among us domestic servants. You can get him out for me during this time, but remember not to startle the snake, just give me a good hold on to him. ”
"Okay!" He Yiming agreed with a grin. What makes him happy is naturally that there is meat to eat and drink tonight, during this time, in order to disguise his identity, he has carried out tasks and practiced, but he has lived an ascetic-like life, and his mouth has faded out of a bird, so he can't help but be unhappy. As for preparing a meal and drink, it is naturally a piece of cake for them, and even keeping an eye on one or two people is a common thing for them, and it is extremely easy for them.
Lin Tao looked at his hippie smiling face, and immediately laughed and scolded, "Stinky boy, look at what makes you happy, you know how to eat." If you put this energy into cultivation, you won't progress so slowly. ”
After being reprimanded, He Yiming suddenly made a bitter face, "Teacher, are you still slow? But I didn't dare to laugh anymore.
The other four people in the dark group also endured and didn't dare to laugh, and when they saw He Yiming, this kid being scolded by Lin Tao, they felt comfortable for a while. However, for Lin Tao saying that He Yiming's cultivation was slow, several people still didn't dare to agree, in their opinion, this kid was simply a demon, and the speed of cultivation was staggering. It's only been a few months since he left Hejia Town, and this kid has come to this point today with a brute strength that doesn't know what the fighting spirit is. You must know that there are six small realms of waiters and fighters in between. After making so much progress in a few months, they have already lost their self-confidence, you must know that it took them two or three years or more to reach the early stage of the fighter.
Lin Tao scolded mercilessly with a dark face, "Do you think I still deliberately can't find fault with you?" ”
As soon as Lin Tao said this, where did He Yiming dare to keep his mouth shut? However, he was not very convinced in his heart, he felt that his cultivation speed was not slow, of course he felt that the slowness that Lin Tao was referring to was compared to him. In this way, He Yiming was a little disapproving, thinking to himself, can I compare with you? Otherwise, how can you be a master, and I am an apprentice? It's just that these words can only be hidden in his stomach, but he doesn't dare to say it at all.
Seeing He Yiming crying with a sad face, Yawen and the others retreated, Lin Tao laughed. I think this kid is really interesting, and it's a lot easier to have him in his own life. Of course, he knew that He Yiming's cultivation speed was not slow, unhurried or quite fast, at least much better than he was back then. You must know that He Yiming is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, and he already has such a cultivation, and his achievements will be limitless in time. And he didn't start cultivating until he was eighteen years old, although he worked hard and had such an anti-heaven exercise as "Nine Dragons Change", he was still much slower than He Yiming, and he suffered a lot for this. Not to mention the study of the Bydi Academy, even in the Black Forest, he almost died. In contrast, He Yiming is undoubtedly lucky, but he still lacks some training, after all, it is not necessarily a good thing to go too smoothly. The lack of tempering of the state of mind, the lack of strength and the consolidation of the great war are always insufficient. It's just that this kid is too young now, and Lin Tao is still not at ease if he is let out to do these things now.
"In a few years, he'll be a few years older. Lin Tao thought to himself.
