Bishop Fowler's eyes were full of doubts, surprise, and shock. He didn't understand why Mavey appeared here.
Those words just now...
Did he hear everything?
Even though Bishop Fowler was thick-skinned, he felt his cheeks heat up slightly after being slandered in front of the rightful owner, which was a bit unbearable.
It's like adding poison to wine to kill someone, only to turn around and see that person is right behind you...
No matter how big your heart is, it still makes you tremble.
Seeing Bishop Fowler discovering him, Ma Wei stopped pretending. In fact, he never hid his identity from the beginning to the end. It was just that Bishop Fowler was too old and dazzled to notice him at the first time.
Who is to blame?
Anyway, Ma Wei felt that he was right.
After leaving the seat, under the gaze of countless eyes, Ma Wei came to the pulpit, took out his wallet, took out a few bank notes with a face value of 50 gold pounds, and slowly put them into the donation box. Then, he turned and returned to his seat.
Sit still.
Someone recognized Ma Wei, lowered his head and whispered to the people around him. For a moment, the preaching hall felt like a nest of some kind of arthropod, with constant rustling sounds.
Bishop Fowler glanced at the donation box, and then looked at Ernest, who was not far away, who was also confused. He cleared his throat, put his finger between his eyebrows and said, "Ahem, thank you Nicholas von Manstein.
Because of your support for the church, may the goddess bless you..."
After Bishop Fowler finished speaking, everyone looked at Ma Wei, who smiled and said: "As the potion dealer of the church, although I have a heavy responsibility, I can't show my achievements to the majority of believers. This is nothing, and I don't care about reputation.
, just pragmatic.”
"But I was suddenly enlightened by Bishop Fowler's rebuke just now."
"Bishop Fowler believes that being pragmatic is not enough. You must have a face-saving project. Only in this way can you be loyal to the goddess. To put it simply, we don't need to fear the goddess in our hearts, as long as we can be decent on the surface."
"I didn't say that!"
Bishop Fowler quickly interrupted Ma Wei and said hurriedly: "I mean Donal Pat's donation to the church deserves praise! I didn't say that pragmatism is not good! Congressman Donal has done a lot of practical things for the church. This
It’s obvious to all!”
"Yes, Councilor Donnell is such a good councilman." Mawei said with a smile: "I think under his leadership, the people of Lambeth District must have lived a good life. For example, they no longer have to walk through caves for two or three years.
The streets are unmanaged, and you have to do housework every day and stay up late to sew to support the family. Your children are of appropriate age but have no schooling or can only be sent to public schools that do not teach you knowledge at all...right?"
"you..."
Ignoring Bishop Fowler, Mavey said to the monk on the side: "Please open the door."
The monk glanced at Bishop Fowler and made no move. Marvey didn't care. He patted his palms lightly and the door opened from the outside. A demon hunter wearing a military hat walked in: "Mr. Nicholas, what do you have?"
Order?"
"Just so more people can hear what I'm going to say next."
Mavey walked out of the preaching hall and stood on the steps at the door of the Destiny Church. The female believers in the preaching hall quickly followed. Seeing this, Bishop Fowler and Ernest stepped forward to stop him, but were responsible for protecting Mavey.
The witcher stopped him.
"Bishop Fowler, we are ordered to protect Mr. Nicholas von Manstein. Please don't make it difficult for us."
"I'm going to stop him! This is a church! Get out of the way!"
The demon hunter captain said expressionlessly: "This is his freedom, and he also has this power."
"The right to speak at the door of any church? Why didn't I know!"
The Demon Hunter Captain reached into his arms, took out a document, and unfolded it in front of Bishop Fowler: "Document signed by the Pope himself, Article 13, the potion dealers of the church can enter any church of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny,
The person in charge of the church shall not obstruct the potion trade."
"Magic potion trading? Where did the potion trading come from!" Bishop Fowler was dumbfounded: "He was obviously giving a speech!"
Mavey, who was standing at the door, turned around, glanced at Bishop Fowler, then took out a bottle of mercury blood from his pocket, handed it to the demon hunter beside him, and said: "This bottle of potion only costs 1 penny.
Answer me in 20 minutes."
"yes!"
"He is taking advantage of a loophole!!!" Bishop Fowler roared: "This is taking advantage of a file vulnerability!"
"Exploiting file vulnerabilities..."
The Demon Hunter Captain nodded, took out his notebook, and wrote down what Bishop Fowler said: "On May 27, in order to stop Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, Bishop Fowler said that there were loopholes in the document signed by the Pope himself.
, and questioned..."
Bishop Fowler's expression changed: "What are you remembering? You are a demon hunter and should be responsible for extraordinary events!"
"In order to better protect the safety of Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, the Pope ordered us to record the words and deeds that are hostile to him." The demon hunter captain said calmly: "Including Your Excellency, the bishop you just said to the believers in the church.
We recorded everything we said."
Bishop Fowler swallowed, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stopped trying to stop Ma Wei.
Ma Wei also gave a speech on the spot.
"Bishop Fowler just said that I have no contribution to the church. I think he is wrong. My contribution to the church is not in the open, but in secret."
"As for your loyalty to the goddess, it is indeed very important, but I think what is more important is your actual contribution to the goddess. Who can't just say beautiful words?"
"Contribution is reflected in all aspects. Resolutely following the doctrine, being a qualified believer, spontaneously promoting the doctrine, and making donations to the church are just one way of contribution!"
“Another way to contribute is to maintain the land where the teachings grow!”
"Under our feet is London! There are believers of the goddess living on this land! Protecting them means protecting the church! It is a contribution!"
Bishop Fowler listened blankly to Ma Wei's speech, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He was a little desperate.
Today's efforts all turned into dust in the sound of Ma Wei's speech.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This kind of opponent is too scary. Give him a chance and he can link his campaign for parliament with religious activities.
As if running for parliament is for a goddess!
The key is that you can't find anything wrong...
Protecting London is indeed protecting the church and the goddess in a sense.
Once these two concepts are connected, Ma Wei will be invincible.
Bishop Fowler's previous criticisms of him will all come to nothing...
While desperate, Bishop Fowler also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's actually a good thing that it ends before it even begins.
The mistake he made was not unforgivable. In essence, he reprimanded Ma Wei for the sake of the church, so it was not a big mistake.
If it ends here, he won't need to bear too much of a crime, and there will be no problem in keeping his position as bishop.
As for Senator Donnell...
Do you care whether he lives or lives?
Bishop Fowler doesn't care!
Of course, the premise of all this is that Ma Wei is willing to let him go.
And Ma Wei did not intend to let this 'old friend' continue to go against him.
"Bishop Fowler is very loyal to the goddess. The reason why he rebuked me is because Senator Donnell has done a lot of face-saving projects, and in his eyes, my contribution to the church is zero."
"You can't blame him. He is old and can no longer understand the emerging industry of potions. He doesn't understand how it works and is still thinking with old ideas..."
"But aside from these things, Bishop Fowler is still an admirable believer!"
Upon hearing these words, Bishop Fowler's eyes widened, his legs weakened, and he almost fell to the ground - if it weren't for Ernest's support.
Ma Wei did not use low-level methods such as direct criticism, but instead openly praised and secretly criticized Bishop Fowler. On the surface, he was trying to excuse Bishop Fowler, but in fact, he kept implying that Bishop Fowler was unqualified, old-sighted, and old.
I can no longer bear the burden of being a bishop...
A knife stabbed into Bishop Fowler's chest. There was no trace of blood, but the knife was fatal!
Murder and heart-wrenching!
After the speech, Ma Wei came to Bishop Fowler, who had a pale and twisted expression and was sweating coldly. He took off his hat and bowed and saluted: "Bishop Fowler, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave. I hope that the next time we see you again, it will be at Destiny Church."
A burst of hot blood surged to the top of his head, Bishop Fowler heard a 'buzzing' sound in his ears, his vision went dark, and he fell straight down.
"bishop!!!"
Bishop Fowler fainted. Ma Wei returned to the carriage, opened the door, and suddenly heard applause from behind.
"The speech just now was really wonderful."
The walnut pipe appeared first, followed by the deerstalker hat and crisp suit. Holmes came with a cane and said with a smile: "When today's speech is published in the newspapers, the seat of parliament will be yours, Mr. Nicholas."
"It turns out to be Mr. Holmes. Long time no see. Why are you here today?"
"While investigating a case, I happened to pass by."
"Is the case over?"
"It's still under investigation. Next we have to go to the Central District to collect evidence."
"I'm going to the Central District too. If you don't mind, how about we go together?"
"good."
After the conversation, Mavey and Holmes got into the carriage and drove to the central district.
Ma Wei didn't believe that Holmes appeared here by chance. There were hidden meanings in his words.
The carriage was sealed very well, and a shielding magic circle was applied. No sound inside could be heard from the outside. Ma Wei asked directly: "You suddenly came to me, have you made any progress?"
Holmes has been investigating the Doomsday Party, and he even left London a few days ago. Even Mavey doesn't know where he went.
"A few days ago, I went to Citigroup."
“The United States of Citi?”
Ma Wei raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing in the United States of America? There is a war there, and it is the headquarters of the Free Association. It is too unsafe."
"Searching for the headquarters of the Doomsday Party."
Holmes said: "James Morea said that the Doomsday Party and the Ancient Gods signed a non-aggression pact decades ago, and at the cost of this, several demons that were originally sealed were released... The Doomsday Party is the first
One who discovered the Devil's Gate."
"Yes, but what does this have to do with Citi United?"
"The headquarters of the Doomsday Party is in the United States of Citi."
"What?!"
"It's absolutely true." Holmes took out a badge with crossed flags and handed it to Ma Wei: "This is their party emblem."
The badge is bright gold and silver in color, with silver as the main body and gold edges. It feels heavy to the touch and should be made of real gold and silver.
"How come you have this thing?"
Ma Wei frowned deeply: "As far as I know, this is a badge only owned by the middle-level and above of the Doomsday Party. I saw it several times when they robbed merchant ships..."
"I got this through formal channels." Holmes said calmly: "Now I am a member of the Doomsday Party."
"...."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just pretending to join the Doomsday Party. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to enter their headquarters."
Holmes took a puff of cigarette and talked about his experience in the United States of Citi: "A month ago, I arrived in Washington, United States of Citi, and met a friend of mine who also provided me with information."
"The Doomsday Party is deeply hidden. No one knows the location of the headquarters except the core personnel. The reason why I went to the United States of America is because my friend said that when he was a child, his father once told him a story.
...a story about the devil.”
"His father was a gold digger, and he teamed up with a few people to carry out gold mining activities in the west. One night, his father stole his companion's gold and wanted to sneak away at night, but when he went out, he accidentally made a noise and woke him up.
My companion, during the pursuit, fled into the dense forest in panic."
"The dense forest is rugged and rugged, like a maze. As soon as he entered, his father lost his way and did not dare to go back. He could only move forward. According to his father, the locals called the dense forest a ghost forest. In the middle of the night, there would be ghosts.
There are strange sounds, and there are also a group of tribesmen dressed in weird costumes living there.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In the dense forest until midnight, his father could not find a way to leave. There was no other way, so his father could only climb a tree to rest, planning to wait until dawn before continuing.
"
Holmes exhaled a puff of smoke and his tone became solemn: "It must have been early in the morning. His father was awakened by a burst of red light. What he saw when he opened his eyes was a huge red sun, standing in front of him like a sun, dyeing everything.
It became red.”
"The sun?" Yunia asked strangely: "Isn't it early morning? Why does the sun appear?"
"I think it's not the sun at all, but a luminous body similar to the sun." Holmes said: "Under the red sun, there is a pit with steps made of stone. Strangely dressed tribesmen are leading a group of people.
The man in a cloak entered the pit, and there were many people standing guard around him, with weapons in their hands. His father hid in the tree and did not dare to move, and stayed there until nightfall the next day."
"Those people spent the whole day in the pothole?"
"Well, until late at night the next day, when his father was drowsy, a loud noise suddenly came from the ground, the ground collapsed, a temple slowly rose from the ground, the trees overturned, and his father and the tree hit the ground together.
Before I fell into coma, I saw a demon spreading its wings... When I woke up again, the surrounding area had returned to its original state, and there were no traces left."
Holmes said quietly: "I followed his father's story and found a dense forest that the locals called the Ghost Forest. I hired a local guide and took a boat into the forest to find the location of the incident."
"You are too courageous..."
Ma Wei rubbed his eyebrows and said, "How dare you go to such a terrible place alone?"
"The truth often comes with risks, and I have long been used to it."
"Then what? Have you found the place?" Yunia asked.
"found it."
Holmes took a few more puffs of cigarette: "But the price is that all the members except me will die."
