Chapter 899: Murderous Intention (Part 1)

Just as Romon and Nick were talking about this, several officials at the headquarters of the Yuanfan Port Pilgrimage Chamber of Commerce were also discussing this matter.

This is a well-sized conference hall. The place is not big, but it is very neatly tidy. There is a long table in the middle, with high-backed chairs on both sides. On the wall, there is a simple map of the mainland. There is only the rough terrain marking of each territory, which looks simple and clear.

Several officials sat together and discussed things in a low voice, while the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce sat in his seat with his eyes closed, raising God.

"...According to the news we have received, many chambers of commerce have participated in cooperation with elves. Some people don't even talk about strategies. The entire chamber of commerce has been working with elves on the spot. If the war between the elves and humans begins again in the future, the first unlucky one will be them, in the name of the enemy. Could it be that they can't think of this?" A manager couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, these chambers of commerce have experienced some things at least. Why are they so unhappy in this matter?"

"It's not that they can't imagine that the immediate interests are too great. With enough interests, people can survive and take risks, right?" The vice president, who had been closing his eyes and resting, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a sneer.

His appearance was very kind, and there was always a faint smile on his face with a straight facial features, but at this moment, there was only a faint ridicule and disdain on his face.

"Vice President, but to be honest, this time, the elves have really invested a lot of money and have put forward such good conditions. If any chamber of commerce is replaced, they will not be able to resist trading with them." A manager said: "The elves restrain pirates, which can reduce the cost of coastal passages by 20%. In that port, they will enjoy various preferential treatments. I looked at it and felt moved!"

The vice president nodded: "You are right. The conditions they gave are indeed very generous, which makes it difficult not to be moved. From this point of view, the elves will not only fight, but also have powerful manufacturing technology, and even do business. Unfortunately, their peace with mankind cannot last for too long. At most, a new war will arise again for a hundred years. At that time, chambers of commerce that have close ties with them will become victims of war. We cannot fall into such a state."

"Of course, this is still an optimistic estimate. I think they can't even make a profit for a hundred years. After all, the Guanghui Church will not sit idly by. These chambers of commerce have inexplicably encountered all kinds of troubles, and even encountered some robbers. As a goddess' chamber of commerce, we cannot take such risks."

"What you said is, but, are you just letting the interests of this part go away?" Businessmen are all valued for profit, so they will naturally feel sorry for the loss of such a large amount of income.

The vice president quivered his right index finger, tapped him gently on the table a few times, and said, "Of course not. Didn't I tell you to send some peripheral personnel to form a few new chambers of commerce? Are you all ready?"

"Yes, Vice President, have already formed." The manager replied.

"That's fine. We cannot trade with elves openly, and we cannot trade with elves with pilgrimage chambers. We can trade with newly formed chambers of commerce. Remember, although they are vassals of the chambers of commerce, we must also do it seriously when operating. Each chamber of commerce sends an internal personnel to manage, and the mobilization of income and funds is decided by us. In the selection of other personnel, those unknowing external personnel must be enabled. When trading with elves, the headquarters must not be brought into it, do you know?"

"The vice president's decision was really wise, so that we can achieve both worlds."

"Yes, wise, sir." The manager praised in agreement, and things were arranged so.

A month later, Yuanfan Harbor City, in the villa of the lord.

"Romon, this is the trade account book from last month, you can take a look." At this time, at the end of March, the temperature was already very mild. Nick, dressed in casual clothes, sat in front of Romon and said.

In the study, there were only him and Romon. Originally, Romon was reading books, but when he saw him put a book in front of him, he had to stop.

"If I remember correctly, you should rest today?" Romon said with a smile: "I'm resting, still so busy?"

"There's no way. I've sold it to someone long ago. If I don't work hard, I feel uneasy." Nick patted his heart exaggeratedly and said with a smile. When he was only two, he would make some jokes.

"Talking about it!" Romon smiled and said.

"Oh, just look at the trade records of last month. Keeping them surprised you." Seeing that Romon didn't even look through the account book, Nick was a little anxious.

"Why, is there anything surprising in this account book?" Nick's reaction made Romon a little curious.

He opened the account book casually and started to read it seriously, because it was only one month's account, and Romon read it very quickly. After reading it, he not only let out a long sigh.

"Last month, it actually increased so much?" The number summarized later surprised Romon a little.

Nick smiled and said, "Yes, the trade has been good recently. Because the elves have participated in the trade, the trade volume this month can be comparable to the wartime economy."

"It's good, but the Glorious Church has to react too, right?" Romon put down his tent book and said, thinking.

At his current point, money is no longer a problem, and he pays more attention to the reaction of the Glorious Church.

At this time, the city of Aps, the temple of glory

In a secret hall, the ground was painted with complex symbols, and a faint holy light kept flowing among the symbols on the ground.

In front of the hall, an archbishop, with a group of priests, was waiting with his hands hanging down and breathing.

Since the last time, the Archbishop here brought the priests above level 5 and the Knights of the Holy Sword, all of them were broken, he had to transfer the Archbishops from other dioceses to come to clean up the funeral.

However, the loss of power cannot be compensated for for a while.

The Archbishop has not made any movement in the past six months.

At this time, there was a big move.

A "buzzing" sounded, and a remote portal appeared in the center of the hall.

A moment later, first of all, there were ten priests. These priests, unlike ordinary priests, were all wearing gray robes. As soon as they appeared, they automatically walked to the left and right of the light gate and arranged them.

After a moment, twenty knights in armor stepped neatly to the center of the hall.

Twenty Knights!

And although these knights, although they look similar to the Holy Sword Knights and wear the same standard armor as the Glorious Knight, their badges are actually the bloody sun and moon.

These knights immediately spread left and right, standing with their hands hanging down, and a cold air filled the hall.

"The Law Enforcement Pastor of the Heresy Inquisition!"

"The Knights of the Heresy Tribunal!"

Even the priests from the same camp could not help but lower their heads and dared not breathe more.

After a moment, this time the Cardinal Archbishop, a great man who is above the fifteenth level, is still an important person even within the Glorious Church.

Suddenly, everyone bowed and bowed, headed by the newly appointed Archbishop waiting in the hall.

Archbishop of the Cardinal.

The original meaning of the cardinal is a hub, a key, and an important meaning.

Archbishop of the Cardinal is second only to the Pope in the glorious church.

Five thousand years ago, the number of Cardinal Archbishops was strictly controlled, with only seven people, and five thousand years later, the number of Cardinals was only seventy.

In the past thousand years, the church has lifted the number of Cardinal Archbishops, but among the glorious believers on the continent, there are only 120 Cardinal Archbishops.

Everyone in the hall respectfully saluted the Cardinal, without even praying. The Cardinal, surrounded by holy light, was faintly heard.

This is the sign of being with God and the Holy Spirit.

Unlike other juris and warriors, the priests' Holy Spirit was relatively early, but this Holy Spirit, strictly speaking, is not the real Holy Spirit, and has a qualitative gap with the twenty-first-level holy realm.

As soon as he came out, the Cardinal Archbishop had no instructions. He took his men to the prayer hall in front, and faced the altar of the Lord of Glory. He knelt respectfully, crossed his hands and held them in front of his chest, and prayed.

Everyone, whether it is a priest or a knight, bowed to the ground and prayed the same.

When all the prayer sounds disappeared in the prayer hall, the Archbishop of the Cardinal stood up and asked word by word: "Earl Tetashaw, have you participated in the elves trade?"

"Cardin, although Tetashaling faintly rejects the faith of our Lord, the believers of our Lord are everywhere... and have not found any traces of his participation in the elves trade." The Archbishop replied, with a pity in his words.

Only then did everyone see clearly the appearance of the Cardinal Archbishop, who was a tall and thin old man.

"Since that's the case, it's not the time to move him... the situation along the coast has been clearly understood?"

"I have figured it out. These are the sixty-nine coastal houses and commerce with the elves." The Archbishop took out a list and handed it over.

The Cardinal's archbishop glanced at the gloomy face, finally relaxed a little, and said, "This matter will be left to the Heresy Judgment to deal with, Bishop Kang You!"

"Await your orders." A priest in a gray robe stepped forward.

"According to the list, deal with these, and the Knights are dispatched by you."

"Yes!" Bishop Kang You said in response, a trace of blood appeared in his eyes.

For a moment, the entire hall was empty and no one dared to speak.

"To further strengthen the spy and infiltration of Tetashaul, I need complete information." The old man said to the Archbishop as if nothing had happened.

"As for orders, I will speed up the handling." The Archbishop said without neglecting.
Chapter completed!
