Chapter 110 Taboos of the Spiritual Cult

In the early morning, the Baimon Manor welcomed several uninvited guests.

As the sun gradually rose, Walter covered his face with a cold towel, told the servants to prepare breakfast, and then strode into the main hall.

"Welcome, my friend!"

As soon as his feet crossed the door, he showed a surprised and sincere smile on his face, and spread his hands to a man sitting on a chair who was about the same age as him, but with some gray hair on his temples.

"Walter, long time no see!"

The man was wearing a black suit, his hair was meticulously groomed, and his face was elegant. He also hugged Walter like an old friend, and the atmosphere was warm: "I heard that you have taken over the burden of Sir Scott and become the head of the Baimon family. I am really happy for you."

"Pros, as long as people believe in themselves and work hard, they will get what they want sooner or later."

Walter patted his shoulder and smiled, and the two sat down opposite each other and chatted like close friends.

However, Walter's heart was not as happy as he showed.

The man in front of him was about the same age as him, named Pros. His full name should be Pros-Coffey. He was a direct descendant of the Coffey family, a large family in the Spiritual Cult, and the third heir. He was also one of his classmates in school.

But at that time, their relationship was not as good as it is now.

"I never thought that the Sir would suddenly fall ill. Please convey my greetings from the Coffey family to him!"

After talking for a while, Pros suddenly sighed, and looked at Walter with a bit of envy in his eyes. A large family is good, and being born in one basically means having no worries about food and clothing in this life, but the mutual struggles among them are unimaginable for ordinary families.

Although he was third in the order of succession, Coffey understood that unless one of his brothers and one of his uncles suddenly lost their minds or was assassinated, the position of the head of the family would never be his. In comparison, Walter took over the power of the Baimon family without any waves, which was really enviable.

"I will convey it to the Sir!"

Walter's face straightened and he nodded.

"By the way, I heard that you recruited an invader?"

Pros took a sip from the teacup and asked casually.

Click!

Walter felt something was wrong, but he didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he nodded naturally: "You know, Malos applied for a mission some time ago and almost lost his life. Fortunately, an invader saved him. I helped him apply for the pardon of the Red Gloves, which can be regarded as a reward."

"The relationship between you and Malos is really enviable."

Pros smiled. He knew that this was not a little effort, but the entire Baimon family had mobilized a lot of resources to get the pardon from the Red Gloves. He absolutely didn't believe that it was just to repay the life-saving grace.

Their families are cold-blooded and pay attention to interests. It may not be the case for individuals, but from the perspective of the family, doing so is definitely not worth the loss. Pros met Sir Scott a long time ago and knew that a cunning man like him would never be emotional.

Otherwise, they would not have been able to pass it down from generation to generation until now.

"Is there any problem with this?"

Walter pretended to ask casually, but in fact his heart was lifted up, and he glanced at Pros from the corner of his eyes.

"It's not a big problem. Maybe the Baimeng family didn't have any councilors or elders before, so they don't know some taboos."

Pros lowered his head and adjusted his cuffs: "There are actually some taboos in the Spiritual Cult, but some families may not remember them. This time the elders entrusted me to come here to talk to you."

The words were obscure, but the meaning was clear. The Baimeng family had not yet reached the level to know this time, or simply did not have enough strength.

"Except for the research institutes and the Dusk Guards under the Council of Elders, the research on evil spirits by the major families should also be prohibited. However, everyone is doing research in secret, and the Council of Elders will turn a blind eye. But there is one more thing."

Pros looked up at Walter: "All members are not allowed to give birth to or absorb corruptors. After all, evil spirits are like time bombs. They may explode at any time. So the elders entrusted me to come this time for the sake of the Baimeng family. If you hand over the corruptor to the church, the Council of Elders will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

Of course, a large part of the reason is that corruptors are too dangerous and flexible. If used in family struggles, no matter whether you are an elder or a councillor, you may be blown up by a punch one day. In the face of strong personal strength, the family's strength will be reduced accordingly.

As long as one family does this, other families will surely be unable to resist training and recruiting invaders to fight for self-preservation or ambition. At that time, it will not be a battle of family power, nor will it be a matter of using power to suppress others. It will all depend on who has the bigger fist. This will definitely be a mess, and the danger of invaders is obvious to all. If this continues, there will only be one result, that is, everyone will be finished.

Of course, it is more likely that when they have this tendency, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by the Red Gloves.

And according to the intelligence, this is at least a cult leader-level corrosive. Even in the Spiritual Cult, such materials are rare. In addition, it is alive, and the value has increased several times!

For the research of evil spirit power, the elders and councillors in the Presbyterian Church who are more and more afraid of death as they grow older are investing almost at all costs. Eternal life or even immortality is definitely impossible, but living a few more years is good. In the face of death, both wealth and power seem dull.

Whoever can grasp the psychology of these people in the Presbyterian Church will be able to rise to prominence. This is also the reason why Pros rushed here overnight after hearing the news. If he succeeds in this matter, he may even be nominated as a councillor. You know, even his father is just a councillor.

"This"

Walter really didn't know there was this taboo. He originally thought that everything would go smoothly after settling the red gloves. Who knew that the cult was also forbidden to accept corrosives?

"I'm sorry I can't agree to this. After all, he saved Malos' life. I can't do anything that will bring shame to the Baimon family!"

It's definitely impossible to agree to it. Walter shook his head decisively and looked at Pross: "I don't know if there are other solutions. The Baimon family is willing to pay a huge price for this!"

"My friend, family honor is important, but the most important thing is interest. Didn't the knight tell you that family interests are above everything else?"

In Pross's impression, Walter was a very old-fashioned and rigid person, but he didn't expect him to be so old-fashioned. He was a little disappointed: "Before I came, the elders had already told me the bottom line. If you are willing, the Spiritual Cult can help you take over two mining areas!"

"Also, this time I came with the Dusk Guards sent by the Elders' Council. If nothing unexpected happens, they have already started to act. Please forgive my recklessness, Walter."

After a pause, Pross looked at Walter again.

"But I believe you will be grateful to me later."
