Game of Destiny: This player is different.

Fortunately, the believers at that time were not interested in governing the country, they just wanted to use Leonard I to expand Irene's influence.

In short, in the process of constantly repelling powerful enemies, more and more people believe in Irene.

Leonard I even built a city specifically for the church, which is the current capital Rochester.

The king's palace is not even as large as Rochester Cathedral. "

"The church should be very interested in power, but not want to deal with complicated and cumbersome secular affairs.

Therefore, the royal family is reserved to deal with these, and they are above the royal power, concentrating on worshiping the goddess and developing the church. "

Su Mali said in a deep voice: "The divine power overrides the royal power, the power of the church is gradually expanding, and the prestige of the royal family is gradually declining.

During this process, some clergymen who were interested in secular affairs emerged in the church.

They wanted to participate in politics, but because of the existence of the royal family, they proposed to change the kingdom to a principality.

The royal family is no longer dominated by one family, and the parliament of the Principality and the MPs supported by the church appear in the public eye. "

The baron's eyes lit up, and he spoke with undisguised excitement: "As expected of the man I fancy, he actually finished what I wanted to say next.

Are you interested in shutting down your little detective agency and working under me afterwards? "

It's an old double standard to interrupt when others talk.

Qin Nuo snorted in disdain, and began to study the newly obtained piece of earth dragon meat.

Especially that discharge core.

Su Mali smacked her lips and said verbally that she would seriously consider it, but what about afterwards?

After completing the task, teleport and run away, who cares about this.

"Please don't waste time on unnecessary things, we have already gone halfway."

The butler wearing thick round glasses said bluntly: "If you feel too tired to talk, I can help you."

"Okay, I hurry up."

Baron Campbell's expression showed a hint of impatience: "Then the kingdom was changed to a principality, the power of the church was in full swing, and the entire royal family was oppressed.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and Rochester's abnormality made things turn around.

That is to say, creatures living in the dark, strange monsters come to the stage.

Since then, the night has not been complete, and there have been cases of civilians being attacked one after another.

At first there were only a few people, and then more and more.

No matter how many times believers go to church to pray, pleading for Irene's protection still cannot change the status quo.

Believers began to question, feeling that Irene could not protect them from the attacks of strange demons.

How did the strange demon appear, why has it never existed before, and is it related to the church? "

The baron took a few more sips of fruit wine to relieve the dryness of his throat.

The wine stains stained the lips, reflecting a special luster under the light of the kerosene lamp: "This matter finally came to fruition after Leonard II succeeded to the throne.

Different from the brave and good fighters of the first generation, the second generation is better at scheming and winning people's hearts.

He was not satisfied with the supremacy of theocracy and wanted to reverse this situation.

So starting from the bottom, many children who were innocent but loyal to the royal family were placed into the church.

It has been a long wait, and it will be 40 years before the first child becomes a bishop.

He never forgot the order of the II, and for 40 years he has always carefully and carefully concealed his identity. "

"40 years?

Chen Yongren has only been an undercover agent for ten years, and this man is really strong in resilience and mentality. "

Holding the blood-stained discharge core, Qin Nuo, like a mad scientist, couldn't help but interrupt.

"Who is Chen Yongren?"

Baron Campbell looked puzzled.

"A hedgehog who appears to be a bad guy but is actually a good guy and is shot dead by a fox who appears to be a good guy but is actually a bad guy."

"Hedgehog, fox?"

"Yes, hedgehog personality and fox personality."

Qin Nuo waved his hand and put away the discharge core: "This is too troublesome to explain, Baron, you should hurry up and finish."

Didn't you change the subject first?

Baron Campbell cursed in his heart, but he had to take a deep breath to calm his disturbed thoughts in order to maintain his aristocratic demeanor.

"Where did you just say that? Oh, the bishop who has been undercover for 40 years."

She stroked her hair and said, "The bishop didn't contact the Second Emperor immediately, but continued to probe the church's secrets with his identity.

In fact, shortly after the strange demon appeared, the church formed the Knights.

But the selection method of the Knights is very strict, and all the candidates are orphans brought by the Pope from other places.

So our undercover agents have been unable to spy on useful information.

Fortunately, the bishop took advantage of the power in his hands, and after several years of hard work, he finally got a glimpse of some secrets. "

Baron Campbell exhaled a turbid breath, and his face suddenly became serious: "The knight's inhumanly powerful blessing ability, do you think you can get it just by devout prayers and offerings?"

She didn't wait for the player to answer, and gave the answer directly: "Of course it's impossible.

There is never a pie in the sky, and any power gain will not be free.

I assume you've seen infected people, haven't you?

Those poor fellows who suffer from the erosion of the black mark. "

Having said that, a meaningful smile appeared on the baron's face.

The footsteps stopped immediately.

The four players stopped in unison, staring at the Baron in unison.

Does she know about the Red Pine Church?

When was it exposed?

There was instant tension in the air.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Lulu, the steward who led the way, took a step back to protect the baron: "As a villainous detective, do you think your every move can escape the eyes of the royal family?

Any actions of folk exorcists will be recorded by intelligence agencies.

You have become famous in Rochester recently, do you think the church doesn't know?

If it wasn't for the Baron and His Majesty's covert pressure and protection, the Gray Dove Detective Agency would have been razed to the ground by the church long ago. "

Chapter 393 After dark (75), the price of giving up thinking

"Lulu,"

Baron Campbell walked out from behind the butler Lulu, and stood in front of the players generously: "If someone who is hand-picked draws his sword and faces each other, it can only show that my vision is poor."

"Has your eyesight ever improved, especially men..."

After being stared at, the housekeeper silently stepped aside and said nothing more.

But judging from his slightly forward body size, it is obvious that he has not let down his vigilance.

Su Marie also opened her hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, and she stepped forward to look at each other directly: "Respected Lord Baron, if what you said is true, then on behalf of the Gray Dove Detective Agency, I would like to thank you and Your Majesty for your act of protection.

But as the head of the detective agency, I need to make one point clear to you. "

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said word by word: "Even without the secret protection of the royal family, we still have the ability to protect ourselves.

The strength we showed in previous battles is not all.

In short, we are not afraid of not belonging to any faction, even if there are only 4 of us. "

The corridor fell into a deathly silence.

Safia and Qin Nuo secretly put their hands on their weapons, and they would strike immediately if the situation was wrong.

Just kidding, how dare a mere native say to protect players?

Do you know, who are we covering up!

The sky and the earth, the system is the largest.

The meaning was clearly revealed in the eyes of the two of them.

The system is not human, so it is useful for you to show your loyalty?

There was another meaning on Roman's face.

As a result, in the next second, he received the penalty of "10 minutes of silence".

The kind where the vocal cords and Adam's apple are making vocal movements, but even half a syllable cannot come out of the mouth.

His face was quite ugly.

If it weren't for the crowd now, he would have slapped himself hard twice.

The rest of the people didn't pay attention to Roman's strangeness, and all their eyes were on Baron Campbell and Su Marie.

A few seconds later, a hoarse and magnetic laughter broke the silence.

"Lulu, I said I read it right.

Look at how serious Detective Curtis was just now, just like Romeo was when he was angry, I am really more and more fascinated by him. "

Campbell laughed out loud.

Although it does not conform to noble etiquette, it has a different flavor.

Sure enough, she looks good and does everything with her own filter.

Butler Lulu shook her head slightly: "You shouldn't compare a man with a blue short-haired cat, it's rude."

"Sorry, sorry, I couldn't hold back for a moment."

Baron Campbell stopped laughing, straightened his slightly messy clothes, and said seriously: "Where did you talk? Oh, I discovered the secret of the Knights.

The bishop spent a lot of effort and finally understood the secret of the knight's powerful ability.

As I said just now, any acquisition of power requires a price.

The same goes for the blessing of the knight.

While they acquired inhumanly powerful abilities, they were also planted with cursed seeds, the curse from Irene. "

The baron pointed to the direction of the corridor: "The more frequently you use the blessing, the more serious the mutation will be on them, until they become what you saw in the Red Pine Forest Church.

This is a long-term disease process.

First came coughing and fever, then weakness, followed by vomiting, dizziness, and black marks began to appear on the body surface.

In the end, we changed the strange monsters we saw along the way. "

"So strange demons are originally human beings. Baron, do you want to express this?"

Qin Nuo rubbed his chin under the mask: "According to our understanding, the disease process of the infected villagers is very short."

"But the strength of different demons can also be divided into strengths and weaknesses, isn't it?"

This time it was the housekeeper Lulu who spoke, and she maintained her usual innocence: "The illness of a powerful knight takes a long time, ranging from seven or eight years to decades.

Both luck and misfortune.

The years of long life will explode once after the lesion, turning them into terrifying strange monsters that are difficult to deal with. "

Qin Nuo felt that something was wrong, and immediately interrupted: "No, the disease is due to the use of blessings. But the common people don't understand these things at all, how can they be infected?"

"This involves another secret."

The housekeeper Lulu took out her pocket watch, checked the time and continued to explain: "After discovering this problem, the church has been working hard to solve it.

Knights with ordinary abilities would easily die in the process of dealing with strange monsters, so it took a lot of effort to train them to be strong enough.

But the more the mutated monsters are cultivated, the more terrifying they will be, thus killing more knights.
