Chapter 409 The Avenger
"You two, are you in a hurry? If not, I have something to talk to you about." The Pope smiled and said when he saw that the two were dissatisfied.
Looking at the pope's smiling, friendly and wrinkled face, Yang Bing and Deli Leka had the urge to kick him, but the urge was just an idea after all.
The Pope waved at the people around him, and everyone bowed and retreated. Only a soldier in golden armor next to the Pope looked at Yang Bing and Delileka worriedly, and then looked at the Pope.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, you go out!" The pope said softly.
The golden armored warrior hesitated for a moment, nodded, bowed and retreated.
"Zhenbang, you guys go out too!" Deli Laika glanced at Li Zhenbang and said.
Li Zhenbang nodded, pulled Long Miaomiao out, and closed the door behind him.
"My lord Pope, are you going to tell us something valuable now?" Yang Bing looked at the Pope playfully.
"Now the situation is getting more and more complicated. The necromancers are back in the world, and the people of our Holy See will be the main force against the necromancers. I hope you can reconsider the construction of the church. You don't want the necromancers When the Master appears again in the Carlo Empire, you will be helpless, right?" the Pope said solemnly.
"Although it is difficult for our five-line magicians to deal with necromancers, it is not impossible, so you don't have to worry about it. And we have no right to decide on the construction of the church, so it is meaningless for you to tell us these things Yes." Deli Leka shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.
"You can't decide the affairs of the church, what are you going to do with the members of the Holy See sent to you?" The pope asked with a frown.
"We will open up a room in the Magician's Guild for you to use for prayer and other activities. You don't have to worry about the food and lodging of your congregation. His Majesty the King will allocate funds for special use." Yang Bing said on this matter He has the most right to speak, after all, he is an elder of the Wizards Guild.
The Pope is obviously very dissatisfied with this result. Building a church in the Carlo Empire is his first move. If this cannot be achieved, then the follow-up cannot be carried out.
"Isn't this condition included in your bet with His Majesty the King? As long as you win the game, isn't it a matter of course?" Deli Leka teased.
Deli Leka is still very confident about the team this time,
Almost all the talented students on the Carlo Continent are concentrated among these ten people, especially with Li Zhenbang as an outlier in the team, as long as they don't meet people of the Golden Warrior level, there is no reason not to win.
"So there's nothing to talk about?" The Pope's face was a little ugly. Although he had expected such a result, he still felt very uncomfortable when he got such a result.
The spokesperson of the dignified God Realm has hit a wall several times, which has never happened before. You must know that in the God Blessing Alliance, he wants the wind to win the wind, and the rain to win the rain. Who would dare to disobey him?
The Pope snorted coldly, and without even saying hello, he flicked his sleeves and turned to leave. Things can't be negotiated, and there's no need for him to stay...
"Bastards! Haven't you found out who did it? How many people have died recently? Ah?" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous dress sat on a throne in the hall, kneeling in front of him. The person in front of him growled loudly.
The person who roared was Hou Guangzu, the actual ruler of Jin Guangcheng, and he was not to blame for his anger. Up to now, including those who died last time, a total of 26 people have died, including three silver warriors, six fourth-level magicians, sixteen black iron warriors, and even a fifth-level magician.
Hou Guangzu had already made a strict order that his subordinates were not allowed to act alone, even if they went to the toilet, two or three people had to go together, but even so, it still couldn't stop the killer from committing crimes.
Now Hou Guangzu's subordinates are already in panic, but the poor people in Jinguang City are very excited. Because they occasionally have some unexpected gains, a few silver coins or a few gold coins, or even some valuable gadgets.
"My lord, we already have some clues..."
"My eyebrows, eyebrows, you have a fart eyebrow! The eyebrow last time was a circle on the ground, what is the eyebrow this time? Two circles?" Hou Guangzu copied the paperweight on the table in front of him in his hand, and turned towards the kneeling The person in front of him threw it.
The paperweight made of stone hit the head of the man kneeling on the ground firmly, blood gushed out all at once, and half of his face was stained red with blood. But the man still knelt there motionless, not even changing the frequency of his breathing.
"My lord, that person will distribute the looted money, and we can basically target that person."
"Oh? Tell me!" Hou Guangzu's eyes lit up, and his voice was a little excited.
"The subordinates analyzed the non-resident population who entered and exited Jinguang City during this period, and then unexpectedly got a clue."
"What clue?" Hou Guangzu stroked the beard on his chin with his left hand, and looked at the subordinate in front of him sharply.
"My lord, when I was visiting, I found a very suspicious person, and that is the distant cousin of the 'Gambling King'."
"Gambling King?" Hou Guangzu frowned, he had no memory of this name at all.
"My lord, this 'Gambling King' is just a common name, but he is actually a gambler. His surname is Wang, so everyone calls him 'Gambling King'."
"Hmph! Overthinking one's abilities, even a small gambler dares to be called the 'King of Gambling'. So where did you get any news from him?" Hou Guangzu said disdainfully.
"He was already dead, but on the day he died, a cousin of his came to visit him, and that uncle disappeared after that. Our deaths also started after the death of the 'Gambling King' Yes, so the subordinates think that the cousin has serious suspicions."
"Do you have any clues about that cousin?" Hou Guangzu's voice softened a little.
"We know that he should be a person who is not greedy for money. A lot of gold coins and silver coins were found at the scene of the death of the 'Gambling King'. Moreover, after our people die, all their belongings will be looted and distributed to the poor in the city. .”
"What kind of clue is this? Do we have to die one more person to find his whereabouts?" Hou Guangzu looked at the person in front of him sharply.
"Of course not. The subordinate thought that since he would distribute the money to those poor people, these poor people might touch his heart. If we arrest all the poor people who have received assistance, I think that person should Will it appear?"
"What do you think? You think too many things, will they all become reality?" Hou Guangzu snorted coldly.
"But we only have such a clue now, maybe we can take it out and try it, but it's not sure?"
"That group of untouchables are always making trouble for me, so go ahead and do it! But this matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't know anything about it." Hou Guangzu narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The subordinate understands that this is all petty self-assertion and has nothing to do with the adults. The adults don't know anything." The kneeling man took the order and retreated.
Hou Guangzu frowned, he felt that things would never be so simple, if only the guy who called himself the "Gambling King" uncle was really so easy to deal with. If that guy doesn't come out, is it really impossible to kill these people...
Hou Guangzu's subordinates were still very agile. In just two days, those poor people who had received money were all arrested, and none of them slipped through the net. But when the poor people panicked, Hou Guangzu, the deputy city lord, seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no one saw him again.
As the deputy city lord, Hou Guangzu naturally wouldn't disappear from the world. He just hid in the mansion and announced to the outside world that he left Jinguang City and went to other places for investigation.
Now official notices have been plastered all over the streets and alleys. The reason for arresting these people is that they picked up the belongings of the victims, and instead of handing them in, they used them privately. Due to their disturbance, the real culprit is still at large. If the real culprit is not caught within two days, these people will all die!
A young man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat curled his lips in disdain after reading the notice. If Li Zhenban was here, he would find that this person was the so-called distant cousin Yuchen.
However, Yuchen was not going to save those people. Those people were not related to him, so it was the best of humanity for him to give up his extra money to rescue them.
As the saying goes, life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky. Since they have chosen foreign money, they must be prepared for accidents.
Yuchen has always believed in what Li Zhenbang once said to him, that misfortunes come with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes. The great world, sometimes it is so strange, there are many people who just got a million dollars in one second, and died on the street in the next second.
Yuchen didn't feel any guilt about the life and death of those people. If it was miserable, would those people be worse than him? Born without father and mother, it was hard to find a big family like the Haoyue Mercenary Corps, but in the end they were completely wiped out by the people of Jin Guangcheng.
Yuchen already hated the people in Jin Guangcheng to the bone. He refrained from killing innocent people indiscriminately, which is already kind to the city, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Li Zhenbang.
Two days passed in a flash, and Yuchen did not appear in the executioner's expectation.
When dozens of men, women and children covered in patches were pressed to the execution ground, many of them started crying and cursing their mothers.
Faced with the threat of death, most people don't have the kind of gratitude they had when picking up money, and almost most of them cursed.
