Chapter 598 The Core of the Church

Xiao Ningxue's birthday was both plain and happy.

All day long, neither of them went out, but stayed at home, tasting delicious food, playing some small games, and then reading books together.

Even Su Chen calmed down at this time and enjoyed the rare tranquility.

As for the big light bulb Princess Selona and the war magician old Mr. Joseph?

The two were neatly driven into the room and isolated by the barrier. They were not allowed to go out, let alone appear in other places in the house.

In response, the two protested, but the protest was ineffective. The two were still locked up for a whole day, and then they came out of the barrier with dust on their faces.

Compared with Selona, ​​the old magician Joseph was older and in better spirits. Perhaps it was because when Su Chen locked him up, he also threw a book of basic knowledge of magic in the God Realm.

Such basic knowledge is well-known in the God Realm.

Even the poor residents who can't get enough food can easily see it and casually find a broken book discarded by others in the trash can.

But for Joseph, an old magician who is a native of the small world, the value of this book is priceless.

Different environments, different people, and the situations they face are so different.

The residents of the God Realm are too lazy to even read the extremely cheap basic magic knowledge, but in the eyes of Joseph, an imperial noble, it is an opportunity that can't be found.

After his birthday, Su Chen went out to work again. This time, he didn't focus on making things happen, but mainly inquired about the movements of the empire.

Before he found the imperial officers he was familiar with to inquire about the news, Su Chen keenly felt that the town had become a little unusual.

"There are more outsiders among the pedestrians on the roadside."

"Tsk tsk tsk, are there many disguised as ordinary travelers and ordinary tourists? There are also disguised as merchants."

"Which passing merchant would carry a military magic crossbow and a military magic bomb?"

"It seems that the previous commotion was indeed very effective, and many big figures in the empire have paid attention to this matter."

"This group of strangers should be the vanguards they sent out."

"Next, we just need to make things bigger and bigger. It's just a matter of time to catch the real big fish."

Thinking of this, Su Chen slowed down his pace and was not anxious.

The one who should be anxious now is not himself, but these big figures in the empire, the imperial officials, and the White Night Church that he has blamed.

Speaking of which, in the past two days, I have been busy with things and have not been to the White Night Church much. Should I take a break and go there to take a look?

With a thought, Su Chen changed the direction of his feet.

Without attracting anyone's attention, he came to the hidden chapel of the White Night Church.

As soon as he walked into the door, he smelled a trace of blood that ordinary people could not smell with his keen sense of smell.

"Interesting, someone is injured? It looks like the injury is not light."

"The smell of disinfectant alcohol is so strong, and the window was opened for ventilation, but it still couldn't cover up the smell of blood."

"If it were an ordinary person, with such a serious injury, the person might have died directly."

Su Chen looked around and saw that there were not many people in the chapel.

Two or three familiar believers of the White Night God Cult were sitting on the bench, praying devoutly.

The priest was wrapped in bandages and knelt alone in front of the miniature statue of Bai Tianzun. His sturdy and strong body, like a giant, seemed a little listless at the moment.

Who was the injured person? The question had an answer.

A trace of surprise flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and then he felt it was natural.

"The fact that the White Night Cult can operate within the empire and has not been completely destroyed is enough to prove that they are definitely not fools."

"It's only a matter of time before they notice someone acting under their name."

"But I didn't expect the priest to be involved in what happened that night?"

"It looks like he was involved quite a bit, and he was even injured."

Recalling the instructions he gave to those monsters, Su Chen felt that the priest was most likely not injured by the monsters from another world he summoned.

Instead, he faced the strong men of the empire and was seriously injured by them.

I just don't know what the details are.

After thinking about it, Su Chen decided to ask indirect questions. After all, with his own identity, he was also involved in this matter.

It is natural to be curious about the position of the White Night Cult in this matter. Deliberately not asking will make people feel that there is a problem.

Hearing that Su Chen was concerned about his health, the priest who was kneeling in front of the statue turned his head, and a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

The target of the White Night Cult's development has always been the middle and lower levels of the empire. These people have a relatively indifferent relationship with the middle and upper levels of the empire and are not likely to arouse the empire's vigilance.

The cost of developing them is also relatively low. Sometimes, even just a steamed bun or a piece of black bread can develop an extremely devout believer.

In comparison, it is difficult for formal imperial citizens to be developed into believers. Anyone who lives a smooth life will choose to report rather than join the church.

Not to mention first-class citizens, first-class citizens who are willing to join the church are extremely rare.

Taking the initiative to join the church is even more unprecedented.

If it weren't for the cover of "love" and the priest really couldn't see any problems, he would have thought with his toes that this must be an imperial spy.

Even so, the priest never thought that the seemingly pious Su Chen was really in the same mind with the church.

Because of this, many things were still hidden from Su Chen, and he did not take the initiative to tell the other party.

Now, when he heard Su Chen asking about the White Night Cult in a roundabout way, the priest was not surprised at all.

On the contrary, he felt that this was a good opportunity.

A real opportunity to absorb Su Chen into the church and make him a part of the church!

"Do you want to know what happened that night?" The priest said calmly: "Okay, this is not the place to talk, just follow me."

Now it was Su Chen's turn to be stunned.

In fact, he had no intention of hiding his real goal, which was to find out the movements of the White Night Cult that night.

I thought the priest would answer part of his question in a veiled way, but I didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward and open.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and immediately realized that this was probably because the priest was seriously injured.

And with so many things happening locally, the White Night Cult could not give up intervening, and they at least had to find out what happened.

So it was natural.

As a first-class citizen and a member of the White Night Cult, he became the best spy.

The priest was really going to absorb him into the core of the church!

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but get excited!

Great!
