This dark night full of chaos finally came to an end.
The attack on Earl Dao'an's Mansion left the entire city unrest. Originally, the city guards would intervene, but the three major churches announced that they would join forces to exterminate the cultists. Not to mention the city guards, even the royal guards could not suppress the battle.
Soon, the church side presented a large amount of evidence, including standard witnesses and material evidence. Not only did they kill a high-level priest of [Jealousy] and a large number of cultists, they also found a large-scale evil altar and rescued a large number of people who were about to die.
The missing members of the major orthodox churches and many civilians who were used as sacrifices.
A noble earl and a direct vassal of the emperor had fallen. The pot was so big that even the Wright royal family couldn't handle it, so they sent members of the royal family to the four major churches to apologize.
Here, Mark was stunned after receiving the news from the night watchman.
Misfortune is something that is impossible to guard against. No one knows how misfortune will befall the target. Even the 20-sided dice does not give a specific way of misfortune.
A high-level priest of [Jealousy] died suddenly. If this news suddenly came out, Mark would definitely become one of the suspects.
After all, he is the person involved and has the motive of revenge.
Not to mention the heads of other churches, even the Church of Light had to examine Mark.
When this matter involves four churches that are not affiliated with each other, the truth becomes like a speck of dust thrown into a vat of paste and cannot be found.
In the Cathedral of Light in St. Leighton City, Pastor Albert rubbed his eyebrows. The wrinkles on his forehead did not relax due to the movements of his hands.
The desk was filled with reports from the night watchmen and letters of notification from the three churches.
After reading for a long time, Pastor Albert only made one comment: "Nonsense!"
The man with three golden feathers on his chest came over and looked at it again, and he couldn't help laughing.
The Church of Storms said that one of their sailors felt that a servant of Earl Daoan's family was jealous of his wealth, so he proposed to ransack the Earl's house. Then the church combat priest in charge, Ren, agreed and took more than a dozen cars of people there to cause trouble.
The Church of Fortune and Dionysus said they commissioned high-level mercenaries to investigate the incident, and then the two teams of mercenaries investigated, found clues, and conducted two botched infiltrations.
The mercenaries of the Church of Fortune are more professional. Several of them hid in the carriages transporting daily necessities and sneaked into the Earl's Mansion.
The guys invited by the Dionysus Cult were the most unprofessional. They broke down the side door of the Earl's Mansion, wore armor, and walked all the way to the mansion without encountering any obstruction. Finally, they saw the dressing room at the entrance of the door and left.
Go in.
If you send one of these three notification reports to him at random, Albert will feel that the other party is insulting his IQ.
Three copies together, that's really outrageous.
What's even more shocking is that the priests who sent official letters from the Church of Fortune and Dionysus specifically commented that they were unable to determine the authenticity of their mercenary's words.
Albert turned to look at the man in black: "Douglas, what do you think?"
The man known as Douglas took off his hood, revealing a pale middle-aged face. He looked so ordinary that if he were thrown on any street in the Wright Empire, he would not be recognized immediately. He had the face of an authentic passerby.
He shook his head: "I don't think so. [Jealousy] Are there many enemies of the church? I only see that this is a very real blow."
The seven [Mortal Sins] and the four [Apocalypse] sects have never been of the same mind. They not only attack the orthodox sects of the lawful and neutral camps, but in many cases they also don't let go of their own people who belong to the [Mortal Sins] and [Apocalypse].
.
If you have done too many destructive things, it is not surprising to be retaliated by anyone.
This is a typical confused case.
The four churches were happy and confused.
The revenge has been avenged, and the believers can be given an explanation.
This kind of resolute revenge can also increase your popularity and attract a group of new believers to your church.
During the search of the house this time, a top-secret list was also found, which contained dozens of traitors who had passed the [Jealousy] ritual and successfully transferred their targets.
The people above include many church backbones and middle- and lower-class nobles.
In addition to losing the star of hope, the leaders of various companies were extremely happy.
Mark didn't know about the commotion outside.
On the afternoon of the day when the [Jealous] St. Leighton branch was destroyed, Mark received a not-so-unexpected visitor.
"Sir Albert, why are you here?"
"Son, I have to come. There are some things that it would be better to explain clearly in person."
Although he was wearing the same robe, Albert changed into a purple-red four-cornered hat, which represented a completely different status. That was a hat that only regional bishops were qualified to wear.
The two night watchmen who originally protected Mark were not even qualified to watch the door. The door of his house was guarded by two guardian knights of the Illuminati Cult.
The other two guardian knights, emitting powerful light energy fluctuations, stood like sculptures in the corner of Mark's living room.
"Sir, how should I... call you more appropriately?"
"No need to be formal, kid, I'm here on behalf of your grandpa this time."
"My grandfather?" Mark was stunned. After many calculations, he found that the grandfather of the original owner of this body was probably not a lay minister. However, the background of 'my old man' seemed unexpectedly exaggerated.
Albert said kindly: "I am a direct disciple of Mr. Destiny, so legally, I can be considered half of your elder."
Mark saluted knowingly: "I've met my uncle!"
Albert nodded with relief: "Son, I'm sorry for dragging you down this time. We should have discovered the conspiracy against you earlier."
"Uh, I'm fine."
"As long as it's okay." Albert hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, it was my decision to send out the night watchman to protect you this time. I can't bear to see anything happen to my master's grandson."
"..." After a few seconds of silence, Mark said, "Grandpa, does he... have any difficulties?"
Albert thought about it: "You were only three years old when your parents had an accident. At that time, your grandfather was in urgent need of an adult heir, so he had no choice but to choose your second brother, Bravin. For your grandfather's allies, he was the key to the church.
There can only be one [Destiny] in the seat, and there cannot be no [Destiny]. My child, when I say this, can you understand what I mean?"
When Mark heard this, he suddenly realized.
He has always been curious. The original owner's family background looked good. Why did he come to study alone, in a state where he had no worries about food and drink?
Everything is answered.
To put it bluntly, it is based on the inheritance method of the entire Church of Light.
The status and power of the elders can only be inherited by the legitimate son. Once the legitimate son dies unexpectedly and the legitimate grandson is too young, the second son can be chosen to inherit the family business.
But if the second son inherits, you can't let the descendants of the second son turn around and give up the inheritance rights when the direct grandson grows up, right?
Especially in the Church of Light, this transfer of inheritance rights is irreversible.
Unless the descendants are terrible, senior positions in the church are more likely to be hereditary rather than based on merit.
The position of the church's top leadership is a carrot and a trap. Not to mention political opponents, even the old man's allies may not be happy to see Mark and his second uncle take office at the same time.
To be honest, Mark was relieved that Albert was so frank. He didn't mind being a prodigal who ate and waited for death after time travel. If he was to be a magician, he would nervously recite the mantra of light all day long.
, he really couldn't stand it.
"I have long accepted grandpa's arrangement. But uncle, can you tell me what I can and cannot do?"
Seeing that Mark was so reasonable, Albert breathed a sigh of relief. If this noble descendant of light insisted on making trouble, he really didn't know how to end it. After all, in this incident, Mark's behavior was not what he had known before.
So miserable, nothing but a face.
He has courage, ability, and maybe a decent bloodline talent.
If Mark is determined to compete with his second uncle for status, it will be a disaster for the Destiny camp. The Light Church implements an electoral voting system. Political resources can only be concentrated on one person. Internal strife in one's own camp will only
Dividing the votes thinly ultimately benefited political opponents.
Now that Mark is willing to give in, Albert is of course willing to be a good person: "You are not your grandfather's heir. Logically speaking, you will not get any resources. However, as long as you do not join the Church of Light, or anyone who is an enemy of the Church of Light
If you don’t leave the Wright Empire, then the entire Church of Light will be your most solid backing.”
"That is, if I don't take the initiative to cause trouble..."
"You can mobilize a team of night watchmen or guardian knights in any church of light or night."
Interesting! Really interesting!
The eldest son and grandson inherit everything, while the second son, third son, and youngest son have nothing. When they grow up, they are self-reliant. This is the normal state of this world.
Even though they have never met, Mark can still feel the deep love from his grandfather.
No one cares, you don’t have to be a godman, you can always ask the world’s No. 1 Church to block the gun. If something happens, you can still have the Church of Light to help endorse it. Is there anything in this world that is more cost-effective than this?
Maybe there is, but it's a pity that Mark can't think of it for the time being.
"Phew! I understand." Mark let out a long breath. For the first time, he felt that traveling to this different world might not be a bad idea.
After a while of greetings, Albert took the people away, leaving behind a reward, which was the reward from the Church of Fortune.
Should he be said to be a banker who borrowed money from his brother and only burned a check for him after his death as repayment? Old Dupont of the Church of Fortune suggested that the perpetrator was the night watchman Gallian, saying that the Church of the Night is also responsible, three
A large portion of the bounty was cut off in just a few strokes. Anyway, in the end, Mark only got 20,000 lite dollars.
Mark cursed in his heart and wrote down the Wealth Church in a small notebook.
"What bad luck!"
Excluding the monthly living expenses from his grandfather, Mark found that he had less than 2,000 yuan in savings. He thought that a reward of 100,000 yuan would be enough to start a new life that did not involve life safety. In the end, he only had such a worthless 20,000 yuan.
piece.
This little money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.
The money spent is probably just enough to give back gifts to those three girls last night.
【Host, do you want to change your destiny?】
"Of course!" Mark answered without thinking, and his eyes immediately opened as big as bells.
