Chapter 29: The Trouble with Peters
Bishop Duncan, who stared at the Saroyan branch of the Abyss, did not expect that he anonymously reported that Father Titus had betrayed the God of Light, but did not play any role. Not only did he not let the Azure Cathedral detain Titus, but instead attracted the whole city of the Holy See to search for heretics.
At the same time, Speaker Peters of the Marcelus Parliament came to the door.
After entering the secret church that was staring at the abyss, Peters, who was huddled in the windbreaker and felt hat, blushed at Duncan, saying, "Why don't you inform me in advance and go to provoke the Blue Cathedral? Do you know that I have been sleeping for several days now by all kinds of bad news?
Now Father Titus is the acting bishop of the Azure Cathedral. With his handle in our hands, we can let him do things for us at critical moments. It will not do us any benefit to bring him down, and you did not bring him down, but instead exposed your existence.
Now the knights of the Church of the Supreme Church are looking for you everywhere. If you continue to act without authorization, our cooperation will be terminated."
The biggest thing in Saroyang City recently is the establishment of the "Sarroyang University Alliance" and the emergence of "Return to Demons" drinks.
Now there are a small amount of "return to the devil" in Saroyan. It is packed in a thin-waisted glass bottle and has a slightly sweet taste. Even if it has no other effects, it is a good drink. Peters tried "return to the devil", and like the report in the "Energy" newspaper, it can indeed temporarily increase magic power...
If the new fourth-generation magic potential activation potion is added, Peters has realized that a huge commercial beast is about to grow up in Saroyan.
However, this commercial beast is not under the control of the parliament and will instead embezzle the large amount of interests of the parliament.
The Saroyang Magic Academy has basically been controlled by the parliament. The industries run by the Saroyang Magic Academy have all been closely related to the parliament, providing the parliament with funds not in the accounts. The "university alliance" is coming in full force, which will inevitably have an impact on the high-end business field monopolized by the Saroyang Magic Academy.
What worries Peters even more is that he acquires the Dock Magic Academy and forms a "university alliance". Young Master Liang, who owns the Black Fire Company, has a very strong imperial background.
This may be a capital tycoon released by the Empire to completely control Marcelus.
And the Marcelus Parliament basically has no means to counter this field...
Peters has been in secret contact with Scarletts in the past few days. He hopes that Scarletts can limit the development of the Black Fire Company in the commercial field, while Scarletts hopes that Marcelus can immediately arm its independence.
To this end, the Scarab Company can provide a huge unpaid aid to the Marcelère Parliament, including funds, weapons and war supplies...
But war was a deterrent to the empire for Peters. He could clamor for war everywhere, but as long as there was room for easing, he would not take this step.
Negotiations with Scarab Company were very difficult.
Before Peters could finish this super company, he gazes at the Abyss Church and provokes the Holy See again. Father Titus can definitely play an unexpected role at the critical moment...
Duncan now knows that he has taken the wrong step, but in the face of Peters' accusations, he defended: "I admit that I was a little anxious to avenge Lamechia. However, it is my mistake that prevents you from making any wrong decisions on Titus's issue.
We all think that Titus has lost his power, but in fact... the God of Light did not abandon him. If he threatens him with faith in the future, he will suspect that you have taken away his nightmare."
In the dim church, two nightmares stood on both sides of the divine platform.
Peters looked at the statue of Erges on his head and calmed down his mood: "I admit that you are right... Now I don't know how Titus still has these two nightmares when he believes in the God of Light. Therefore, don't mess with Titus without notifying me in the future, and focus your attention on developing your believers.
And our cooperation.
Do you know the "university alliance" recently established by Saroyang? There is also the Black Fire Company that has developed a new fourth-generation magic potential activation agent and a "return to the demon" drink. Behind them is a man named Master Liang...
Mobilize your people to investigate Young Master Liang and the Black Fire Company behind him, and kill him if you have the chance."
"Assassinate Young Master Liang?" Duncan said: "This is not an easy task. One of his subordinates killed Harris of Scarab Company. The hidden strength of Black Fire Company is very strong, and this task will cost us a heavy price.
What are you going to compensate us?”
Speaker Peters sorted out his silver hair that he had braided, then put on a felt hat and lowered the brim, and then stood up the high collar of the windbreaker, and said, "You can talk to me safely now, instead of being chased by the holy dogs like a rabbit. This is my greatest compensation for you.
I will ask Saroyan City Hall to come forward and ask the Azure Cathedral to reduce the number of people searching for heretic church knights in the city. As long as you are a little more peaceful during this period, they will not be found.
I know you have a lot of weird spiritual spells. Just killing a child, it’s not about letting you kill his subordinate who killed Harris. It shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
Seeing that he could not ask for more benefits from Peters, Duncan said, "Okay... let us leave this!"
Peters left quietly, and Duncan prayed silently at the statue of Erges.
At this time, a congregation said to Duncan: "Sir Bishop, Speaker Peters has walked out of the bar. Who do you plan to send to carry out this assassination mission."
After Duncan finished reciting the prayer, he replied after a while: "If that Young Master Liang was easy to assassinate, do you think Peters would come to us?"
"Biden, you mean..."
"Blackfire killed a branch president of Scarlett Company. Do you have any response when you see Scarlett Company?"
The church members replied: "The Scarab Company seems to have no reaction to this day."
"No reaction is the biggest reaction... Scarab Company must have made a counterattack, and the result is like nothing has happened. This black fire company is very difficult. "Returning to Demons" cannot be developed casually. Its cheapness may very well mean that its R&D difficulty is higher than the fourth generation of magic potential activation potion.
Such a company that has the ability to compete with Scarab Company is not easy to provoke.
Peters knew very well that he wanted to use us to test the Black Fire Company..."
The church members asked, "Then we won't take on this task?"
Duncan said: "No... we still need Peters to gain a foothold in Saroyan. The assassination must be carried out, but not ours will do it.
