Chapter 133
On the other side, in the palace.
Wordsworth, Zimmerman, Augustus and Santa Monica, four old foxes, gathered together again.
Wordsworth's face was full of smiles. Although the loss of the imperial city was huge this time, he also made a lot of money.
There has always been some contradictions and conflicts between the nobles and the imperial power. The nobles are the most powerful competitors of the imperial power... The replacement of the imperial power has never been the common people, but other great nobles.
Even the Abelsheen family is the same, completing the transformation from nobles to royal family.
Wordsworth can fully accept the loss of the imperial city. Many noble heads, or heirs, have died, and they have to push the second son, third son, or even the fourth son who was abandoned before to the front to inherit the family.
And most of these people are stupid, and the threat to the imperial power is much smaller.
The most important thing is that there are even many nobles whose entire family is wiped out. Wordsworth raised the titles of these people by one level, from viscounts to earls, and earls to marquises... Then, he took advantage of the situation to recover the power in the hands of these nobles and nationalize the accumulated wealth.
Of course, nominally, it was to fight against monsters.
The power in Wordsworth's hands was unprecedentedly concentrated, and he didn't expect that his son's waste recycling would actually have such benefits.
As for the accusations and blames the royal family received for this, compared with the gains, it is not worth mentioning at all.
"Qin Chu's strength is improving too fast, don't you think there is a problem?" Augustus said: "It is easier to understand that God rewards hard work, but it seems that our brave man does not seem to be so hardworking. Since he was summoned to this world, he seems to have been with women most of the time..."
"If you say from the perspective of taking women, he is indeed very hardworking."
For this point, several big men were full of black lines on their foreheads.
This brave man really doesn't have the kind of... courage that a brave man should have?
"As for the power of the partner of justice, it is a little difficult to understand. It seems that as long as he insists on walking on the path of justice, his strength will continue to grow. Then the elimination of hundreds of monsters lurking in the city should bring him some improvement, but not to the extent..."
"I heard that Natia destroyed tens of thousands of minotaurs before, and the hero was also present for a while at that time, and it seems that he could also get a lot of benefits..." Wordsworth pondered for a moment and said, "His strength seems to have skyrocketed since then."
Even the monsters eliminated by his companions will be counted on the hero?
Isn't this cheating a bit exaggerated?
"As for the sudden increase in his magic power, it should be because of Athena...We all know a little about the power of that woman, it's a pity..." Wordsworth shook his head and said with some regret.
In fact, he once pursued Athena, hoping to obtain Athena's magic power and become a master with very strong magic and fighting spirit, but was rejected.
As a result, now all of them are cheap to Qin Chu.
"Moreover, Qin Chu definitely has some hidden powers, which can suddenly increase his strength from over 40 levels to the middle stage of the Martial God. Even if Qin Chu stayed at home for seven days after using it and didn't even touch the women around him, the effect is a bit too exaggerated."
"With such a big sequelae and a power that can't be used at will, I don't think there is anything to be vigilant about." Zimmerman shook his head and said, this old man is obviously not as treacherous as the others.
Augustus immediately shook his head: "Although the sequelae are great, we must not underestimate this power. Now it can surge to the middle stage of the God of War. When he has the strength of the God of War, won't he be able to stand on equal footing with us immediately?"
"In addition to the power that can make his own strength surge, he has at least concealed a power with a camouflage panel to hide his strength, so that we can't peek into his true strength."
"And, more importantly, why did Qin Chu hide his power?"
"What is he wary of?"
Augustus frowned and said: "If it weren't for his distrust of us, would he have to hide it? I always feel that Qin Chu seems to know the situation of the Sky Continent very well, as if he has been here once."
As soon as he finished speaking, Augustus himself felt that this speculation was nonsense.
There are only two aliens from the other world in the Sky Continent, the heroes summoned twice.
One is Jello, who is dead.
The other is Qin Chu...
In any case, the fact that Qin Chu came to this world for the first time cannot be changed.
"Sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything. Maybe that guy is really smart?"
"Maybe we are just overthinking. Don't forget that the world Qin Chu originally lived in was also full of war. Living in that environment, he is more vigilant. Isn't it normal to hide some cards habitually?" Santa Monica frowned and said what she thought.
After a pause, Santa Monica continued: "In my opinion, there is only one target in Qin Chu that we should be vigilant against..."
The remaining three were silent.
They all knew what Santa Monica was talking about.
The huge phantom of the goddess appeared behind Qin Chu.
The existence that made them tremble and respect instinctively, as the existence at the top of the pyramid of the Sky Continent, they couldn't even control their bodies and knelt on the ground. That was an unprecedented situation.
"Augustus, is that goddess the goddess of light that the Holy Church believes in?" Santa Monica asked Augustus.
Zimmerman and Wadsworth also had their eyes fixed on Augustus.
His Majesty the Pope also frowned at this moment: "I can't be sure."
"After all, we have never seen the appearance of the gods."
Although there is surging power of holy light in that god...but will the god really appear in that normal posture? Even though she was a little taller, she still looked beautiful.
Augustus once had the honor to witness the seven auxiliary gods beside the Goddess of Holy Light. They were all weird, twisted, and creepy existences. They were completely different from the feeling that the goddess behind Qin Chu gave Augustus.
"If it is really the Goddess of Holy Light, then what is the situation with the chains wrapped around her body, and why was she dragged into the void? Could it be that the Goddess of Holy Light was imprisoned by other gods?" Wadsworth frowned. , a hypothesis was proposed.
If this news comes out, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Holy See.
Of course, the influence of the Holy Holy See is huge. Even if the news spreads, the basic base is still there. It will take a long time to overthrow the Holy Holy See.
"You guys said, could the monster appear because the Goddess of Holy Light was imprisoned?" Zimmerman also put forward a hypothesis: "And the phantom of the Goddess of Light appeared on Qin Chu, maybe it was Want to use the power of the brave to release yourself from the prison? "
There was silence all around, no one spoke.
There are too few clues now, and they can only put forward various speculations. As for how close these speculations are to the facts, no one can guarantee.
However, one thing is certain, Qin Chu's identity is no longer as simple as a brave man.
If the speculation is true, then Qin Chu is still a divine messenger.
If this news gets out, Qin Chu's status will definitely increase immediately, and their status will be in jeopardy.
"Everyone, why don't we open up our minds a little. Since Qin Chu can even call the goddess's clone, there is basically no pressure to destroy the monsters... We can use Qin Chu to destroy the monsters on the Sky Continent and bring peace to this world."
"After destroying the monster, let's encourage Qin Chu to save the goddess..." Santa Monica's eyes flashed with a strange light.
"It is definitely not a simple existence that can seal the goddess. How many chances do you think Qin Chu has to survive in the face of those existences? If Qin Chu died... ah no, he died on the way to save the goddess, then our status would be gone. People can shake..."
"Even if other gods rule this world, they still need believers, don't they?"
"If Qin Chu really successfully rescued the goddess, then as those of us who have been supporting the brave people from behind, we should also have a share of the credit, right?" Santa Monica said eloquently.
It can be heard from these words that they have no faith in the gods they worship.
Gods and beliefs are just tools for them to obtain power, status, wealth and strength.
Santa Monica's words brought smiles to several people's faces. This woman is really thoughtful. This is indeed a good choice. As long as they can maintain their status and power, they don't know who the superior god is. Don't care.
As long as it brings higher status, more power, and stronger strength, it doesn't matter even if they believe in darkness.
"By the way, have you found anything about the evil god summoned by the eldest prince?" Wadsworth said: "I ordered people to search the royal library, but unfortunately, there is no news..."
"I found something here. More than a thousand years ago, there was a small religion in the Sky Continent. The members of the religion prided themselves on being elegant and noble, but they were also obsessed with desire."
"Once they become believers, they will abandon all morals and laws and devote themselves to pursuing more exciting and perverted pleasures through fanatical enjoyment and indulgence."
"And that god who is believed in is revered as... Desire!"
…
the other side.
In the palace.
In the bedroom, after some tenderness, Qin Chu was held in Violet's arms...
Violet's body was soft and comfortable, but this posture always made Qin Chu feel a little strange. After all, he was a man, shouldn't this kind of thing be the other way around?
Even so, Qin Chu still lay comfortably on Violet's chest.
Violet's finger was stroking Qin Chu's hair, with a strange expression on her face: "Qin Chu..."
"What's wrong?"
"That girl this afternoon..."
"You mean Norma? What happened to her?"
"That girl is a little weird." Violet said carefully, her face a little suspicious, as if she couldn't be completely sure of her inference: "In her body, I seem to feel a breath similar to mine..."
Qin Chu was suddenly startled, his pupils shrank, an aura similar to Violet's?
Could it be that Norma is a witch?
Around 6:15, there is another chapter
Chapter 167 Earth Witch
(please ask for monthly tickets and recommend votes)
Is Norma a witch?
This is really great news.
Qin Chu also had doubts on his face: "Isn't this impossible?"
"Violet, you once said that witches were born thousands of years ago. After that, the only witch was the dark witch Saya. How could Norma be a witch when she is only in her twenties?"
Violet also had obvious doubts on her face: "I can't be sure either."
"Although I feel some similar breath in Norma, but... that breath is like a candle in the wind, very weak, and if you don't feel it carefully, you can hardly detect it."
"Could it be that there is a witch's soul attached to Norma like me?" Saya suddenly came out and said.
This is possible.
If that's the case, then which witch is attached to Norma?
By the way, Norma is a bit strange.
Almost everyone, including masters like Wadsworth, will be affected by Jello, but Norma is not.
She can even vaguely feel the danger hidden under Jello's gentle surface, and instinctively want to stay away.
Could it be that because Norma is also parasitic on the witch's soul and has the power of God, Norma has the ability to sense Jello's danger?
Karsas, this idiot, obviously has such an excellent fiancée but doesn't know how to cherish her. Instead, he is obsessed with Jello. If you don't die, who will die?
The more this is the case, the more Norma can't be handed over to Karsas.
It seems that I still need to contact Norma again... Of course, this time will not be too long, and it should appear soon.
On the other side, Norma returned to Sunset Mansion.
It was still the bad environment, the air was filled with stench, and rats and cockroaches walked around in the rotten and dirty corridors, as if no one was around.
When Norma passed through the narrow corridor, she could clearly feel that some men were secretly peeping at her, full of evil and desire.
That kind of look made Norma tremble with fear, and her body was shaking constantly.
Norma was really timid.
She subconsciously hugged the magic wand like a branch in her arms, lowered her head, and endured the peeping eyes from all around... Obviously, with her strength, she could easily blow the entire Luozhi Mansion into pieces.
Her white teeth bit her lower lip hard until she came to the door of her room, pushed the door open and then closed it heavily, isolating the prying eyes, and the strong fear came to an end temporarily.
Her cheeks turned pale, and she leaned against the door and trembled.
If she followed the hero to the hero's palace, she shouldn't have to bear such fear, right?
But, no, if she really did that, Karsus would be very sad if he knew.
After a few breaths, Norma calmed down a little, and then she felt a strong hunger, her stomach was growling... She didn't even have money to buy a steamed bun.
She was so hungry.
She missed the cakes made by Miss Angelica in the hero's palace. She hadn't tasted such delicious food for a long time.
Her two skinny little hands patted her cheeks... She couldn't always think about those things. Compared with Karsus who was still in prison, her current situation was much better, so it was okay.
She knew that Karsus had been convicted of killing 3,000 Paladins, and she didn't want to let Karsus not suffer any punishment, as that would be unfair to the dead Paladins.
She only hoped that the judges would give Karsus another chance, even if it was just to let Karsus charge at the forefront against the monsters, because of his great contributions before.
There was no water in the room, so she couldn't wash her face.
She didn't have the courage to go to the public restroom, and just walking through the corridor made her hair stand on end.
