Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 520 Father Norch

In the first two days after joining, Coman was a little worried that he would have some obstacles in integrating into this fake circus, because he put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it: if an outsider was forced into his cavalry, both he and his cavalry would definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

However, after two days, Coman realized that he seemed to have overthought it - almost all the people in this ranger organization were not normal people.

All the people who were "more or less seriously ill" that Koeman had seen in his life were less bizarre and fewer in number than what he had seen in the past two days.

Since these guys can tolerate each other, how can they not tolerate Coman? He just needs to not tolerate others.

So, sometimes a “loose” organization has its advantages and reasons.

If you change to an organization with clear rules and regulations, their style of doing things will naturally be different.

For example, the town where their Gaoying Circus is going to visit next has long been under the high-pressure rule of such an organization.

This organization named "Order of the Brothers of Divine Punishment" (hereinafter referred to as the Order of the Brothers of Divine Punishment) was nominally under the command of the church, but in those days everyone knew what was going on... As the saying goes, "the mountains are high and the Pope is far away", this kind of autonomous group under the banner of the church in the local area, let alone the church knowing about them, it is even a question whether they even know of their existence.

However, the local people must know them... To use the words of the people of Dazhen: It’s okay not to know your biological father, but it’s not okay not to know these living fathers.

Of course, this group of people will soon encounter two men they didn't know but had to get to know...

…………

The rangers who left the town of Onești continued to move towards the sunset. After several days of bumpy ride in the wilderness, they finally saw a relatively flat road and a signpost with the words "Slanic Moldova" written on it.

"I must remind you that the town ahead is the territory of the Order of the Ring."

Although this place is no longer within Comman's territory, it is not too far from his territory, so as soon as he saw the sign, he began to "give vaccinations" to others.

The dozen or so people who were riding in the caravan with him, including Sun Huang, Lao Feng and Tyrael...all looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"So what?" Tyrael couldn't help but ask first.

"So..." The next second, Coleman took over Tyrell's words, "You'd better put all the income from the last performance into a box and prepare to 'donate' it to them."

"Ah?" Sun Yixie was dissatisfied when he heard that he had to pay money, regardless of whether the money was his or not. "Why is that?"

Coman shrugged and replied with a helpless tone: "If we give them money, they won't come to trouble us. This way, we can rest in the town safely and leave smoothly." He paused, "Of course, even if you have made the 'contribution', you still have to be careful not to say anything nonsense or do anything out of line in the town, otherwise they will still come to find us."

"What the hell?" Sun Yixie was about to explode, "Fuck this... We paid them money, but we still have to be so careful and controlled by them?"

"Brother Sun." Huang Donglai joked, "Do you do the same thing in your fish market?"

"Mad!" Sun Yixie raised his voice, "How can they be the same? What I charge is the normal stall fee and management fee!"

"Ah? Mr. Sun, you also own a fish market?" These days, Coman had also heard from Lao Feng that Sun Huang was a "big noble", so he spoke to Shuang Xie in a more polite tone.

"Oh! What's a fish market..." Huang Donglai smiled evilly and added, "In our country, there is a very famous place called West Lake. You know, the whole lake is Brother Sun's fish tank? The fish feed at the bottom is his enemy..."

"Get lost..." Sun Yixie cursed as he pushed Huang Donglai, almost knocking him off his horse. However, this move did stop Huang Donglai from talking nonsense. "Let's get down to business. What exactly does this 'Divine Ring Society' do?"

This was not the first time that Coman had seen them joking around like this, so he did not take it seriously and continued, "Nominally, they are a branch organization of the church, responsible for preaching, but you can tell from the name of their organization that they are armed, and... at least they claim that they have the right to judge those who disrespect God in their behavior."

"Oh... I understand now." Lao Feng continued, "That is to say, in Slanik Moldova, which behaviors are disrespectful to God, who should be punished, and how to punish them... all have the final say from this 'God's Ring Society'."

"That's right," Coleman continued. "So, let's go back to what I said just now. You'd better give all the proceeds from the last performance to..."

"Wait, wait." Sun Yixie interrupted him again, "That's still not right? Even if they are the local bully and collect tolls and protection fees, there should be a limit, right? Do we really need to pay so much?"

"Of course they can't charge so much for those passers-by who are few in number and look honest, but you... right?" Coman said half and half, but everyone understood his implication.

"Yeah...that's right." Old Feng nodded immediately, as if he really agreed with this logic.

"Fuck...what's right?" But Sun Yixie refused to admit it, "Oh, we have to pay money and pretend to be grandsons...this can't even be called kneeling to beg for food, this is kneeling to deliver food!"

"Hehe...then change your perspective..." Huang Donglai said with a smile, "You are delivering food on your knees, but others are making money while standing."

"Oh my god~ As expected of Mr. Huang, you are very familiar with this." This time it was Sun Yixie's turn to annoy Huang Dong.

"How can we not be familiar with each other? I know how this kind of person died..." Huang Donglai did not argue, but led the topic in another direction.

At first glance, the two of them were still joking around, but in fact, their seemingly joking tone and expressions already revealed a hint of viciousness.

Others may not have realized it yet, but Tyrael, who was most familiar with the two of them, already understood that they were in a state where they were ready to kill and had already devised a vicious plan...

…………

At the same time, in the Moldovan town of Slanik, in a secret basement of the Order of the Lord's Rings church.

Father Norch, the leader of the Order of the Lord, dressed in a linen priest's uniform, was sitting on a bench, bowing his head and reciting the Bible in his hand.

Father Norchi looked to be about fifty years old, with short, slightly curly brown hair and a pair of green eyes; his slightly chubby face and slightly plump figure, coupled with a pair of glasses with delicate contours, made his whole temperament appear amiable, gentle and elegant.

"…and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has forgiven you… Amen."

After he finished reading a passage of scripture, he raised his hands and made the sign of the cross on his forehead, chest and shoulders. Then he solemnly closed the Bible in his hand and looked up ahead.

At this moment, just a few meters in front of him, there was a man tied to a rack, covered with bruises, and two "monks" of the Divine Ring Society who had been torturing this man for a long time.

Although they are called monks, in fact, these two people have never studied any serious theological knowledge, nor are they qualified to become clergymen. They are just thugs who use this title to make a living under Norchi.

Most of the so-called "monks" in the Order of the Divine Ring are actually thugs like them.

To put it bluntly... this kind of organization does not need too many "brains", but the armed forces must be sufficient, otherwise it is impossible to run rampant in the village with just a few mouths.

"David, my poor child, I have prayed to the Lord and asked him to forgive your sins. If you admit your mistakes now, I think it is not too late." Norch slowly walked up to the bruised man and said in a calm and compassionate tone.

Although his expression seemed so gentle and his words sounded full of kindness, at this moment, the man in front of him, including the two monks who were in charge of the torture... all felt a chill in their hearts.

Because just now, Norch used the same expression and tone, reciting scriptures softly amid David's extremely shrill screams.

Anyone in this town who knew Norch knew that no matter how holy and harmless he appeared on the outside, his inner nature was still cruel and terrifying.

"I... have said it... many times..." David spoke with difficulty, but every two or three words he would be interrupted by the sharp pain from the wounds on his body. "Last month... several monks in the order ran up too much debt at my tavern... so this month I really... have no money... to 'donate' anymore... Please... please, Father, can you please forgive me..."

"Oh! How can you still lie at this time, my child!" Norchi shook his head, revealing a look of three parts grief and seven parts regret. "Do I have to expose your lies on behalf of the Lord before you are willing to confess your sins?"

"I... I don't understand..." David's eyes were full of confusion. He really didn't know what the other party meant.

"David, how could you think that our monastic order is the kind of organization that is greedy for money?" Norch continued, "You just can't pay the 'donation' this month, the Lord will not blame you, but your idea of ​​'because I am penniless, so I can naturally not donate' is so despicable and vicious!" He paused, "Do you think that the noble act of 'donation' can only be tied to cold money? Isn't it... your wife at home and your daughter who is about to grow up, can't do something for the monastic order?"

As soon as these words came out, David's face was immediately filled with fear, but this emotion soon turned into anger.

"Pah!" The next second, he spat a mouthful of blood foam at Norchi, "You beast! Devil! I curse you! You will not die a good death!"

His action earned him another round of beatings from the two thugs.

The two men did not dare to stop fighting, because David's action was too sudden, and they were unable to stop David from spitting blood on Norch's face in the first time; if this matter was really discussed...it was because they were not able to protect the priest well, so they had to quickly help the priest vent his anger, so as to prevent the priest from taking his anger out on them.

However, Norch, who had blood spit on his face, did not show any signs of anger.

In fact, when the blood was spit on the middle of his face, he didn't even blink, and his expression didn't change at all. He still looked at David with kindness.

"Okay, stop beating him. Do you want to kill him?" A few seconds later, Norchi took off his glasses, wiped the blood off with a handkerchief, and stopped the two thugs in a gentle tone, "If David dies, his wife and daughter will be so sad."

When the two thugs heard this, they understood immediately - this man's life had to be saved for the time being, otherwise they would have one less bargaining chip in their hands.

Some people may say that if these people can abuse lynching and even murder, why don't they just rush to David's house and take his wife and daughter back? Do they still need to care about the bargaining chips?

You don't understand this. If they want to keep this "business" going for a long time, they have to be more "discipline-abiding" than anyone else.

If the Divine Ring Society really arbitrarily burned, killed, robbed, and raped people in this town, wouldn't they be no different from ordinary bandits? Wouldn't everyone in this town have to flee in a few days?

Norci is not that stupid. He will always "make up a pretext" for doing anything bad. Don't worry about whether his pretext is far-fetched or not. Anyway, he has "God's back", so the final right of interpretation of these "rules" belongs to him.

Moreover, he would not really push all the townspeople too hard in a short period of time. He knew that he had to give these people a certain amount of living space and breathing room so that his divine ring could continue to "suck blood" here.

Of course, he would not let these people live too "easy" for a long period of time - from time to time, he would let a few ordinary people like David, who could be seen everywhere, be destroyed, so that other people could maintain their "reverence" for the Society of God's Ring.

"Don't worry, David. I don't blame you." Norch put on his dirty glasses again and walked in front of David again. David had obviously been beaten so badly that he couldn't even bleed. "I can forgive all your offenses and sins against me, but if you are not pious enough to the Lord, I can't just sit back and watch."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands in a pretentious manner and adjusted the blood-soaked collar on David's chest: "I am a fair man, David, and tonight I will ask those monks who owed money on credit in your tavern to go to your house and pay them back.

“Of course, I will also let them inform your wife and daughter of the crime you committed.

"I think... after the virtuous Junia and the lovely little Beth know your situation, they will definitely do whatever it takes to... redeem your sins for you."

After Norch said this, he turned around calmly and walked towards the exit of the basement.

Behind him, he first heard a burst of angry and heavy breathing, but soon the sound turned into almost desperate crying and moaning.
