38. Faith
In the Governor's Office, a man came hurriedly and whispered a few words to the steward. The steward entered: "Governor, the spy came to report, and King Qi Nian went to the branch of the Silver Hand and started a massacre."
“What’s the result?”
"The chief and bodyguard in the hands of Silver were all dead, but a few people were spared, and they were all inconspicuous ordinary people."
The Governor knocked on the table with his finger: "He is kind-hearted and can see that he is not a person who has accomplished great things. If you continue to command, kill them all, no matter who they are." The Governor said indifferently.
"Yes, Governor, I'm going to do it."
"Wait a minute, I ordered the generals to hold a meeting in the afternoon. All these days are not stable. Even the church said that the saint appeared in this place. Isn't it just a high-level prostitute? Isn't it that the astrology master has calculated and a bunch of old lusts. The Qi Nian Wang appeared very suddenly, as if he was passing by, but he was just used to disrupt the situation."
"I will give orders, Governor." The housekeeper responded and retreated. The governor's eyes showed a cruel look: "The wind and clouds are moving around, I want to see who can cause trouble in my territory!"
When Wang Qinian and Tina returned to the hotel, the boss was frightened, but he didn't want him to move out directly and changed their rooms.
"Tina, how about it? How do you feel when you are in actual combat today?" Wang Qinian asked Tina.
After pondering all the way, Tina raised her head: "I was a little scared at first, but at the moment of fighting, I seemed to forget the fear, but instead felt excited. Is there something wrong with me? Why do I want to fight alone?"
"You are a natural knight. Although no one gives you the identity of a knight, killing is not terrible. Humans and animals are the same. But in order to survive, you must remember not to enjoy killing. Killing is only a last resort. The Lord will bless you, the brave you." Wang Qinian said.
"Dear Master, I understand, the Lord will bless you."
"There are some strange things in the city these two days. We killed people and no one pursued them. This is not normal. The boss said that the sheriff came and just asked, it was fine. What articles are there."
"Master, we won't cause trouble, but if others come to provoke us, we will just take it." Tina killed someone, as if she had changed her temperament. Wang Qinian glanced at her, not knowing whether it was good or bad to teach her swordsmanship.
"Well, we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble." Wang Qinian said: "Tina, the experience of this fighting is very important to you. It is a step from theory to actual combat. You can experience it well."
The city of Kansas was calm, of course, on the surface. The Silver Hand branch was said to have caught fire, and the fire lit the two houses around it. Fortunately, it was during the day that no one was burned to death, but the Silver Hand burned more than a dozen people. When Wang Qinian heard the news, he didn't speak for a long time. Tina was very surprised. They obviously did not set fire, so why did it start?
Then he asked Wang Qinian curiously, and Wang Qinian sighed: "Someone wants to make things even more messy. He deliberately set fires, and there are still a few living people inside, which is a pity."
Tina looked at Wang Qinian in surprise: "Who did it?"
"Everyone has the possibility, but the Silver Hand is the least likely. It seems that we are trapped in a conspiracy."
"Who is the biggest possibility?"
"It depends on who gets the greatest benefit. Unfortunately, we are outsiders and do not know the power here, so it is impossible to know who it is, but we can speculate."
"Master, how do you speculate?"
"Ordinary people do not know that Chiron Trading Company is actually the Hand of Silver. The possibility of setting fire for no reason is extremely small. It can be ruled out that those who can set fire know the background of Chiron Trading Company like us, so there are only a few companies who are capable of doing this. Let's talk about the gang forces first. Blood Rose has an undercover agent in it and should not kill them. Their better methods are unless the undercover agent is killed; Fermandy has no cross between them, he has the ability, but the possibility of setting fire is very rare, he has a better method; the Harpist Alliance and the Hand of Silver Trading have repetitions in business and the possibility of taking action, but both companies have branches in multiple cities and have no open confrontation, so they are unlikely to be very likely. The governor controls the city, and if he takes action, it may be a big conspiracy." Wang Qinian said.
"Why can't it be someone like us who was assassinated by the Silver Hand. In order to vent her hatred, she set fire to the Silver Hand." Tina asked curiously that although she was a martial arts genius, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. Even though she developed a little early, she was still a child.
Wang Qinian explained with a smile: "What you said may not be non-existent, but the possibility is too low. Almost no one is like us who assassinated by the Silver Hand. It is too late for others to escape. Who has the time to fight back?"
"Is there no other power?"
"I don't know that information is asymmetric. We know too little about it, so little that it is not enough to support our inference. If there is more information, we might be able to infer many unknown secrets more clearly."
Time flies, and in three days, Wang Qinian went to the Harpist Alliance to take a look every day. Seeing that there was no news, he came back to see Tina's training. Since that battle, Tina has been thinking about her skills three or four levels higher than that battle. According to Wang Qinian's opinion, she has at least reached the level of a entourage knight. Of course, there is no place to measure the level in this world. As some novels say, you will be treated accordingly, but your level is the highest. No one uses you, you will still be poor, let alone the corresponding level. Wang Qinian understands that this is not a game, but a living world.
Wang Qinian doesn't have to worry about money for the time being. He has to thank his ex Nickles. Although he died, he not only left trouble, but also left a huge amount of gold coins.
Wang Qinian didn't know how he made money. After all, in addition to the nobles, there are also handicraftsmen in this world, and there are also huge numbers of self-cultivated farmers and serfs. Self-cultivated farmers are better. One person's income is only one or two gold coins a year, while serfs are even worse. When you meet a better manor, you will have another gold coins a year. If you meet a cruel manor, you don't need to mention the tragic situation.
Wang Qinian came to the Harpists Alliance again today, with a notice posted on the wall. When Wang Qinian saw it, he smiled on his face and knew that Baron Eden had died.
Tina was beside her, and saw the smile on Wang Qinian's face and asked: "Master, what's the good thing about the announcement?"
When Wang Qinian said the illiterate words in the announcement, Tina was shocked: "Do you mean Eden is dead?"
"Why don't you die? He is just a low-level knight. The Harpist Alliance is only stronger than the Silver Hand. Since he can use the Silver Hand, why can't I use the Harpist Alliance? It's not that everything needs to be taken personally. Things that can be settled with money are not a problem." Wang Qinian smiled.
Tina didn't expect that Wang Qinian would die in a quiet voice. When she heard Wang Qinian's words, she said: "What else can't be settled in the world with money?"
"Of course there are, for example, a person's lifespan."
“That was decided by the Creator.”
"I don't know whether a person's life span is determined by the founder, but the founder is only more than 1,800 years old. He is achieved by people's beliefs." Wang Qinian said lightly.
"Master, I don't understand what you said. When the Creator is determined by human belief. If we don't believe in him, the Creator does not exist?" Tina was a creator since she was a child. Although she was a pariah, her belief in the Creator has never been shaken. Just imagine a person who has lived in such an environment since she was a child, and everyone around her believes in the Creator. How can she be an exception? Wang Qinian's words sounded like this to her, although she did not know the word heretic.
"Of course, in the distant East, people believe in the earth god Houtu. There is a powerful country called Neumonsi across the strait east of us. We believe in Allah Anka. We call it heresy, but who is the master of heaven and earth? I don't know. Before the rise of the founding bishop, there were many sects on this land, and later almost destroyed by the founding bishop. Are these not the gods?" Wang Qinian decided to tell her about the issue of faith.
Wang Qinian did not like the founding bishop. The fundamental reason was that he was a lich. He was definitely a heretic among the founding bishops and could not exist in the world. Of course, he had no good impression of the founding bishop and decided to slowly change Tina's belief first. He also knew that a person's belief was not so easy to change, but it made her feel doubt in her heart and planted the seeds of doubt.
Tina didn't expect that Wang Qinian would actually look at the founder like this. Although she believed in the founder, no one had ever told her this. Instead, she instinctively believed in the founder and felt that everything was natural. Today, she felt confused when she heard Wang Qinian say it.
"Isn't it that the Creator created the world?" she asked.
"Of course not. Our world has been around for billions of years, and the founding bishop has only been less than two thousand years. Moreover, Allah Anka also claimed that he created the world. I don't know what the goddess of earth Houtu said. In short, the divine religion has advocated that its god is the greatest god in the world." Wang Qinian said, but it was a bit strange. How did the goddess of earth Houtu have the same sound as Houtu on the earth? It was probably a coincidence.
Tina's mind was confused. How could she be Wang Qinian's opponent? When Wang Qinian said that, her belief in her heart became shaken. Seeing this, Wang Qinian felt secretly proud. Needless to say, a country girl, even a well-educated man, could not resist Wang Qinian, who was influenced by the atheism of the earth. There was a god in this world, and Wang Qinian didn't believe that they could create the world.
Seeing Tina start to be in chaos, Wang Qinian said kindly: "Remember, what I said to you today, don't say it out. In front of others, you still pretend to be your devout faith in the Creator, otherwise you will be a heretic and will be on the stolen stand."
Tina was shocked and nodded. She knew it was not a lie. A witch in her hometown was burned to death.
The two of them said as they walked, and a person came towards him, a priest. Wang Qinian frowned slightly. His breath was not strong and he could not see through Wang Qinian, but his eyes were fixed on Tina: "Saint!"
