Chapter 170 Necessary Evil Church
The magic light burst out with orange light, and then it was dispersed because of the crystal cover outside, spreading a faint warmth and light throughout the room.
The room is decorated very luxuriously, with valuable sculptures and paintings everywhere, which look particularly exquisite under the orange light of the magic lamp. The wide floor is covered with red carpets of hair cut from the body of the high-end Meli Beast (level 13). In addition to the sunny red wood furniture, there is also a four-poster double velvet bed that doesn't matter even if it's somersaulted on it.
However, so luxurious, it is just an ordinary room in the Catherine Hotel.
Salanlia was sitting on the soft big bed, casually playing with a small black dagger in her hand.
Although she lived in a higher suite with Cage, who was nominally her subordinate, after a period of wandering, she was already very satisfied with the current environment.
That Cage inexplicably left her alone and disappeared. When the girl thought that the guy should have rushed back to Xilu Cliff.
After all, there are not many people in this city who can threaten Cage. If the movement really starts, it will never make the whole city so calm. Nothing happens, which means that Cage has not had a conflict with anyone in the city.
"He is someone he is optimistic about even his sister, so he shouldn't have to worry."
The girl leaned back, and her upper body fell into the quilt with a squirting sound. Her posture suddenly changed from sitting to lying down, and her blue hair was also scattered on the bed, but she didn't care. She squinted her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of falling into the soft big bed.
To be able to live in this place again and have delicious food to eat, it has to be thanks to that uncle.
As soon as Savi's appearance appeared in Shalanlia's mind, a sweet smile could not be stopped.
Although it was a little strange and he always suffered a little because of his wild idea, he should be a good person.
Just as she began to look forward to the afternoon itinerary, a voice similar to her voice but with a significantly lower tone suddenly rang in her mind.
"You might have had any feelings for that human being, right?"
Salanlia frowned and looked at a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror beside the bed. The "self" in the mirror was also looking at her, but what was surprising was that Salanlia's pupils in the mirror were not almond-colored, but strange golden vertical pupils like some kind of beast.
This feeling of being watched by myself in the mirror is not good, but Shalanlia seemed to be used to it, and just responded calmly: "What stupid things are you saying when you wake up, Jin."
"It's you, my dear sister." The shadow of Shalanlia called "Gold" in the mirror laughed, which made Shalanlia who was unknown very unhappy. However, before Shalanlia could stop talking, the other party continued: "Humanity is just food to us. Even the lower animals will not estrus at their food. My dear sister. You'd better remember this."
"This has nothing to do with you!" Shalanlia stared at herself in the mirror.
"No, of course it has something to do with me." Jin was not scared by Shalanlia at all, and said with a smile: "My sister's mission was assigned to the two of us. Now that the dagger of one of the Seven Demon Tools has been obtained, I can naturally get rid of the constraints of this kind."
"What the hell do you want to say?" Shalanlia asked vigilantly.
"The magic tools all have their own unique effects. The effect of the dagger is to extract souls from the body of the stabbed person." Jin said slowly: "If you don't have any feelings for that human being, then just use this dagger to kill him and create a temporary container for your brother, I."
"No, he is my benefactor!" Shalanlia flatly rejected.
"Do you really deny this proposal just because he is your benefactor?" Jin asked with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and he asked with an evil smile: "Or, you are already happy..."
"Shut up!"
I don't know if it was poked into the pain. Or because I simply didn't like Jin, Shalanlia's pupils suddenly turned blood red, and she looked at herself with the golden pupils in the mirror. The nervous air instantly flooded the room, which was considered wide.
In the end, it was Jin in the mirror who twitched his tongue and closed his eyes. When the reflection opened his eyes again, everything had returned to its original state and the reflection became a reflection again.
Shalanlia watched the reflection and was silent for a long time, and finally she sighed: "What an annoying guy."
Then the girl stood up and planned to put the dagger in her hand and hide it again.
Although she is still very resistant to the erosion effect of magic tools than humans, holding it for a long time will have a bad impact on her body and spirit. Just as she put the dagger back into the box, the girl's eyes stopped on a small box next to the drawer.
There was a silver cross necklace inside. Although Shalanlia had a deep hatred for the cross because of her bloodline, when facing the cross-shaped necklace given by Severe, she was reluctant to throw it away and finally had to put it there.
At this time, she saw this cross necklace, but she couldn't help but think of the person who gave it to her...
——Golovito Luolan Chamber of Commerce Reception Room—
"Ah--!" Xiwei sneezes a big sniff, then sniffs, closed the book in his hand, and said in a muffled voice: "It's the third time today. Is anyone cursing me?"
The book he read was titled "The Changeable Ether? Shaping Volume". This book comes from the Akasha Box. Xiwei obtained the book with the free rights once a week. After all, this time it is not much value compared to this one.
"...Who would want his creaking nest to make a fart sound?" At that time, Xiwei looked at "The Art of Prank, Let Your creaking nest fart!", one of the candidates. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and finally decided to choose the "Change Ether? Shaping Volume", which looks the most normal title.
Although "Changeable Ether? Shaping Volume" is not a magic book that can directly learn magic, it does contain a magic.
Second-ring arcane magic, etheric shape.
Aether shaping is not very profound magic. Simply put, it is to operate the ether flow in the air to form various shapes. As long as you master it well, even the early magicians can play a piece of ether shaping with both hands - but they probably can't shape anything.
Because he was promoted to the intermediate level magician. Now Xiwei can learn the magic of the second ring by just reading it thoroughly. Of course, you have to fully master it and go through sufficient practice and use.
Based on this point, Siwei also asked Franken to record all the second-ring magic it had learned while experimenting, and show it to him when he went back...
"Sorry. I've made you wait for a long time." Just as Sivi was planning to continue reading to deepen his understanding of etheric shaping, Alina, who he was waiting for, finally walked into the room.
Unlike the bright and beautiful appearance in the past, Siwei always felt that Elina now looked a little tired and ran away, and her whole body was listless and her face was full of sleepiness.
"What's wrong?" Sivi asked her strangely: "Will you keep your Chamber of Commerce so busy preparing for that competition?"
"Of course it's not just that." Alina sat on the chair and looked a little depressed: "The celestial ball competition and helping you negotiate are also one of the reasons, but this is not the main thing."
"What is that? Did your chamber of commerce take on another big order?" Xiwei asked curiously. He realized it when the question was released. It seemed that it was not good to ask this, and there was a suspicion of peeping into the privacy of other chambers of commerce.
Fortunately, Elina, who was in a low spirit, did not notice it, but shook her head and explained to Siwei: "It's a cult."
"What?" Because Xi Wei didn't react at once when he heard the unexpected word. He said subconsciously: "Cult? ******* or full-neng god?"
"What are you talking about?" Alina asked casually, but when she saw that Sivi didn't seem to be planning to answer her meaning, she continued: "In fact, strange religions have suddenly begun to appear in the eastern plains recently, and they call themselves "necessary evil churches."
Listening to Alina's explanation, Sivie got to know this recently emerging church.
Although the name does not rhyme at all, nor does it sound like aura of the Holy Church, the necessary evil church soon attracted the attention of the King's Parliament.
The reason is simple, these guys wearing black cloaks and acting sneaky are inciting civilians and serfs to rebel everywhere.
Their teachings are different from the great and glorious collection of the Holy See, fair and open, and instead put forward the concept of the necessary evil of human nature.
In their opinion, everyone will have bad feelings such as greed, selfish, irritable, possessive and other bad feelings.
Compared to the Holy See, the beauty of mankind is infinitely exaggerated. They believe that only when both good and bad can they be considered a complete person.
At the same time, they also used this as a slogan to try to incite the lower-class people to launch rebellions.
At first, they just instigated some remote areas to be oppressed, and even if they survived, they became serfs of luxury. Then, with these starry areas as bases, the necessary evil church began to radiate to all directions.
"You have planted your sweat and hard work to get generous gifts from the Mother of the Earth. Why do you give them all unconditionally to those nobles who do nothing but eat, drink and have fun all day long?"
"Why can some people sit high in the castle, enjoy the reverence of thousands of people, and live a rich life by exploitation, while you must work hard, but in winter, you can still be shivering in the thin quilt?"
"Why do you have to endure hunger, cold and raging epidemics when those fat nobles are busy lingering in the singing and dancing banquets? Even your children can only struggle to the line of life, and will disappear from your dry and calloused fingers if you accidentally?"
"Why……"
"Why……"
"Why……"
"It's time! For those nobles who exploit and bully us at will, the kind side of human nature is no longer useful! We need the necessary evil to sanction them!"
For a long time, class conflicts have accumulated between civilians and nobles.
Although not all, most nobles oppress the common people, and most common people hate the nobles.
However, there are monsters outside the human race, as a threat, and there are undercurrents of the king's council and army inside, and the Seven Stars Mage Association standing beside them, all these contradictions were piled up and failed to erupt.
What the necessary evil church did this time was to add a fire to these contradictions that had been accumulated for several generations, causing them to explode!
Unfortunately, this world is not the earth, and the rebellion of civilians is destined to be a failure. Before the emergence of hot weapons or weapons equivalent to hot weapons, these ordinary people are far from the opponents of the nobles.
You should know that in addition to the army, the number of magicians in the two camps is also very different. When the magicians who can be regarded as mobile war fortresses begin to show their power, no matter how many people in the civilian camp are more than the noble camp, it is useless to be afraid of death. Just like an ant can kill an elephant, but can never threaten the flying dragon, the level difference between the two is too much.
"But although the civilians and that church cannot cause too much trouble to the King's Parliament, this has made the checkpoints of many countries and cities much more severe. Not only us, but many chambers of commerce have suffered heavy losses."
Alina sighed and explained the fundamental reason for her appearance: "Almost all the people in our chamber of commerce have gone out to clear the process now, and I have just returned from the nearby city."
"Yeah, it's okay. I don't mind waiting for a while. In addition, to be honest, no one who has some knowledge will not know what the outcome of this matter will be." Xiwei touched his chin, and he always felt that the whole thing was strange: "People who can create something like a necessary evil church should not be confused... Then why not secretly accumulate strength and instead make this matter so big?"
The Seven Stars Mage Association has energy that is not inferior to the King's Council, but except for those who are sent to the royal family to get acquainted with their qualifications, most magicians are not interested in politics, so the Goddess of Truth did not report on this matter last week. Sivi, who had been staying in the empty island, did not know about this until now.
However, judging from the increasing scale of this incident, perhaps the report of the necessary evil church in this week may be related to the report of the Goddess of Truth.
"Who knows, maybe the person behind it is just planning to push the necessary evil church to the top, and through a series of events, it has great advertising benefits." Alina shrugged and put forward her own opinion from the perspective of a businessman.
And Sivi thought of a lot more.
After all, this time is really too sensitive. If the necessary evil church has no meaning, then the only function of being pushed to the table is to attract the attention of the King's Council.
After all, no matter which era, people's rebellion is taken seriously. Once such a thing happens, there is no doubt that the King's Parliament will spend a lot of energy to deal with it.
This can be confirmed by Alina's words - the pass checkpoints in many countries and cities have begun to become stricter. This behavior not only poses a huge threat to those criminals, but also to many peddlers and even some chambers of commerce will cause some unacceptable losses. As merchants, such losses are difficult to accept. While these losses and contradictions are caused, they will inevitably attract the attention of the King's Parliament in disguise and allow them to spend a lot of energy to solve them.
Once the attention of the King's Parliament is attracted by these things, they will inevitably not pay much attention to the changes in other things.
For example, the Dark Night Noble.
Thinking of the unusual actions of the vampires some time ago, I'm afraid they will make more small moves under the noses of the King's Council during this period.
Perhaps even the necessary evil church itself was secretly established by these vampires, with the purpose of only covering their own actions.
If this is true, then the vampires' plans may have reached a very important place, so they have to cause such a thing to cover themselves up.
It’s just that, it’s still impossible to tell which step the other party’s plan has reached.
It seems that he can only continue to start with that stupid vampire. Sivi sighed and suppressed the guilt he had caused by deceiving such an ignorant girl to the bottom of his heart.
"By the way, you are here for steel this time, right?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Alina asked Siwei.
Xiwei immediately woke up from the daze and nodded: "Yeah, that's it. Did you change it?"
"Although the quantity is not as much as you ask for, I still have changed a lot."
Alina rummaged over her bunny girl's sack that she had no pockets at all, and took out a note similar to a receipt and handed it to Siwei.
Xiwei took the note, took a few glances and stuffed it back into her pocket, and stood up.
It is indeed as Alina said, the number did not meet the requirements of Cavi's. However, Cavi was asking for a lot of prices at that time, and the other party naturally had to pay back the money. In addition, the Roland Chamber of Commerce could not do a waste of time. Cavi is not a greedy person. After so many links, he could still get so many. Just now, he already thought it was very good.
"Since you're still busy, I won't disturb your work." He shook hands with Alina and planned to leave Golovito, return to the floating island first, and wait until the afternoon to meet with Sharan.
But at this time, Alina asked Sevi, "If you have nothing to do next, should you go to the stadium with me? I will go there if I have something to do later. If I go now, I might encounter something good."
Xiwei thought about what the hot celestial ball competition venue looked good before the steel was transported to it, so she happily agreed. (To be continued...)
