A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Just now, the fortune-teller gave him the biggest omen warning.

If he dares to continue to dwell on this matter, then he and his entire family will not see the sun tomorrow.

No one will survive.

And it's no use asking anyone for help.

Because this matter involves a protector of the country!

The wrath of a patriot is not something a normal person can bear.

Not to mention him, even the Grand Duke of Novgorod would have to tremble in fear and ask for peace when faced with such a thing.

The autumn and winter sunshine was no longer bright and shining in his eyes, but instead seemed more like freezing cold.

If he hadn't gone to the fortune teller just now to find out...

Then once he gives the order, there will be no Ostromir family in Novgorod tomorrow morning.

"A protector of the country..."

In this era, protecting the country is no longer common.

At least there is no official public protection of the country...

But in fact, anyone with a bit of common sense or knowledge would understand that the National Protection Movement definitely existed, but it was just hidden.

For example, not long ago, there was a civil war in the Bulgar Khanate.

It is said that because of this civil strife, a warrior with the strength to protect the country was exposed.

The reason why the protectors of various countries hide themselves is very simple: for the country, the benefits of hiding are greater than the benefits of being public.

If the identity of the national defender is made public, although it will have a public deterrent effect, in reality he will also be closely watched by hostile forces.

It's hard to do anything quietly.

It can only be kept as a mascot, but cannot be used to attack or ambush the enemy...which means it can only be used for defense, not offense.

Even if the effect of use cannot be said to be halved, it is at least reduced a lot.

Of course, for Huguo himself, who can reach that level of training but has a will as firm as iron?

All a monarch can offer is fame, wealth and honor, but very few patriots would indulge in fame, wealth and honor.

It is hard to imagine that a person obsessed with fame and fortune can break through layers of obstacles, reach heights that ordinary people cannot imagine, and achieve the goal of protecting the country.

Compared to "mastering literary and martial arts and serving the emperor", the national defenders must care more about their own freedom.

They do whatever they want and live freely and unrestrainedly. This is what they pursue.

Everyone speculates that contemporary countries, especially major powers, must be hiding more than one protector of the country.

For example, in the land of Russia, it is said that the Grand Duke of Kiev had at least one protector serving him.

Of course, this was said in private. If someone was really ignorant and asked in public, the Grand Duke of Kiev would definitely not admit it.

But that was the Grand Duke of Kiev. The Grand Duke of Kiev was at least the nominal supreme ruler of Rus' land. For example, the Grand Duke of Novgorod... there were no such rumors.

If he could gain a protector of the country to pledge his loyalty to him, the Grand Duke of Novgorod would probably wake up laughing in his sleep.

As for other trivial matters, such as the survival of the Ostromir family, the Grand Duke would never say a word.

Not to mention killing all the members of the Ostromir family at night, even if every member of the Ostromir family was skinned and displayed in broad daylight, the Grand Duke would just pretend not to see it.

The ruling class of the entire city will turn a deaf ear and pretend not to know.

So his second son offended a national defender... Damn... Who could have thought of this?

It's better for that troublemaker to die so that he won't cause trouble for the family in the future.

Thinking about it so bitterly, he even had the urge to prepare a generous gift and go to thank the other party for getting rid of the evil in his family.

As for the protector of the country... I can't figure it out for the time being.

But there is no doubt that it is related to that relative of Vishardich.

Since that person doesn't want to be exposed, he shouldn't be too ostentatious.

There is a long way to go. As long as we know the clues, we can keep in touch slowly in the future.

Thoughts raced through Domhnall's mind.

Section 202 Consequences 3

The affairs of the Ostromir family ended lightly.

Although the sheriff had publicly stated that the death was caused by trauma, the Ostromir family themselves did not think so.

The public explanation in the family was heart disease.

As for why he had a heart attack...

The head of the family came out personally to explain that his son indeed had this problem since childhood.

That's why he let his son go, not learning martial arts, not studying literature, and not taking over business work.

Since he died of a heart attack, it's hard to blame anyone else. Let's end the matter here and not pursue it. Just pretend it never happened.

Since ancient times, officials will not investigate unless the people report the crime.

You've admitted it yourself, so what else can others say? No official would mess around with himself out of boredom.

But... although the city of Novgorod is not small, rumors still spread quickly.

Although the Ostromir family is not of the highest status, it is still a deeply rooted local tyrant in the city!

When something like this happens at home, it can easily be interpreted by many people with ulterior motives.

There are rumors that this matter is not that simple. It is caused by a dispute over inheritance rights within the family and brothers killing each other.

Family disgrace should not be made public, so the head of the family chooses to keep quiet.

It was also said that someone was trying to teach the Ostromir family a lesson, telling them not to cross the line. It was hard to say who this "someone" was, but it could have been anyone from the Grand Duke to several high-ranking nobles in the city.

But no matter what, the matter ends here, and only rumors remain.

Rumors only last for three months. After that, no one will mention them anymore.

The news spread to the Vishatzhichi family a little later.

Master Vishatych is not at home at this time; he is out on business.

After all, a noble with a small estate had a very busy life. As a supervisor, he had to visit his various estates from time to time to check the accounts and avoid being deceived by his subordinates.

By the time he returned, the news released by the Ostromir family had already spread.

So in the whole thing, only Dierke suffered the most damage.

I was worried for two whole days.

I couldn't eat or sleep well for two days, for fear that the matter would get out of hand.

When Master Vishatych came back, Dirko hurriedly added more details and recounted in detail what had happened.

He hadn't actually seen what Thomas had done. But after all, it was Thomas who claimed to have done the attack that caused the other man to vomit blood and die. So it was clearly Thomas' fault.

Upon hearing this, Vishatych was naturally surprised and immediately called Thomas over for questioning.

Thomas, of course, flatly denied it. He was just trying to scare the other person and gain verbal advantage.

As for why people die...

Didn't his family spread the word? It was a congenital heart disease! Although he died, it was an accident.

It’s said that people in this era actually had the concept of heart disease... Well, we can only say that anatomy had already begun to take off and modern medicine was beginning to take shape.

Although it is still early to form a medical system that can truly support Thomas's memories of his past lives.

Only then did Visaditch breathe a sigh of relief.

After earnestly persuading Thomas not to cause trouble easily, everything returned to normal.

Restored to its original state.

Mr. Vishatych has gone out again. He has a lot of property and is naturally busy. He is not at home all the time.

Moreover, the weather is getting noticeably colder, and we must deal with all kinds of things before it snows so that we can spend the winter at home with peace of mind.

Otherwise the roads will be blocked by heavy snow and we won’t be able to do anything.

A distant relative who was staying temporarily didn't cause any major trouble, so he naturally put it out of his mind and left it to Dierke to deal with.

But Dierke's situation is different.

The next morning, Dirk noticed that Thomas was about to go out.

"Thomas, where are you going?!" Dierke shouted coldly.

Now he was becoming increasingly rude to Thomas.

That matter is over. If it is said to be a heart attack, then it must be a heart attack.

The question is, he was fine before, why did he suddenly get sick?

Thomas must have done something about this.

Looking back now, it must be Thomas's deliberate scare and provocation that caused the other person to have a heart attack.

So even though things seemed to be over on the surface, deep down, Dierke was still very uneasy.

If someone later thinks the taste is wrong and tries to find out the real reason...it's easy to blame Thomas.

If Thomas gets into trouble, Uncle Vishatych will definitely be involved.

And because of this incident, Vsevolod was confined to his home and was no longer allowed to go out.

This also means that in the circle of young people, Thomas is very likely to become the target of public criticism.

If you are pointed at by thousands of people, you will die even if you are not sick.

Although Dierke is young, he instinctively knows what it feels like to be viewed with hostility by others.

Thinking of this, Dierke was naturally angry and hateful towards Thomas.

These past two days he was asked to continue helping Thomas familiarize himself with the environment, but in fact he did not act as a guide.

The main purpose was to punish Thomas and calm his temper.

But the other party seemed not to care.

“Ah, a trip to church,” Thomas replied.

"You! Don't you understand at all?" Dierke was furious.

"Understand what?" Thomas looked confused.

This child is actually quite cute and chubby, but his personality and style... can only be described as very materialistic.

Of course this is normal. Looking around the world, how many people are there who are not materialistic?

Ultimately, humans are social creatures.

"There are a lot of people at the church. Aren't you afraid of being recognized if you go there like this?"

"Recognize me?" Thomas still looked confused.

"I'm talking about what happened before, at the theater!" Dierke said, "What were you thinking at the time? Did you think that if you did that, no one would notice?"

He lowered his voice when he said the last sentence, as if he was afraid of being heard.

"Do that? What do you do? What did you find out? He just had a heart attack, what does it have to do with me?" Thomas said nonchalantly.

Although there is no direct communication channel between the two sides, their attitudes are very clear.

This matter ends here.

It is a family that knows how to advance and retreat. No wonder in Novgorod, despite the family's own background and achievements not being prominent, they have become a local tyrant with a certain influence.

To be honest, Thomas didn't care before, but now he really admires this family.

They have sharp judgment and know when to advance and when to retreat. It seems they've perfected the art of seeking advantage and avoiding disadvantage.

In Thomas's original judgment, there was a high probability that the Ostromir family would be wiped out.

If they wanted to investigate, they would definitely go after Eva. Going after Eva would mean going after the Blasphemous Knight and the Grand Duke of Kiev!
