Chapter 705 The Believer
The professionalism of the Crusaders in the capital is extremely strong.
They obey orders and have strict military discipline.
Most of the legion members are waiting outside in formation. Except for the sound of armor rubbing and colliding, there is no noise, as if they are a perfectly cohesive whole.
This is quite difficult.
Even the King's Army will find it difficult to fully guarantee strict discipline due to the uneven quality of the soldiers.
Let alone the believers of Norwen.
So far, they have not organized a truly large-scale collective action. Most people are operating in the form of teams or teams.
Among the Crusaders who came to search the manor, only a few people who were responsible for the secret handover with Prince Fradin came to the crowd and prepared to take Rune Monger away.
It was a coincidence.
The leader this time was still an acquaintance of Miranda.
The supervisory priest Henry Genova, who presided over the investigation and hearing in Ceylon at the time, who had the same name as Bishop Henry, was also the leader of this action.
But Henry Jenniwa now has a new identity.
The badge on his chest and the white and gold priest robe with unique patterns on his body represent his position: Cardinal!
Perhaps because he has accumulated enough merits, Priest Jenniwa successfully promoted from a senior supervisory priest to a member of the College of Cardinals. Since then, he has officially entered the power center of the Glorious God Cult.
When he saw Miranda and others, his expression changed slightly, and he seemed a little surprised.
But the next second he calmed down and returned to his expressionless and cold appearance.
When he received the order, Jenniwa didn't know who he was going to hand over to.
Of course.
He knew the secret that the "target" of the handover was the real Rune Monger.
This was the news that Harris Eugene told him alone.
Jenniwa knew very well what he should do.
He went straight forward and put the gag and hood on Monger one by one, and then put a large robe on him.
"I've taken the person away. Thank you for your help. May the light protect you."
Leaving a cold word, Janiva signaled to the two confidants he brought with him. The latter immediately cooperated to pick up Rune Monger horizontally and stuffed him into a coffin-shaped restraint box specially used to control cultists.
It is called a restraint box, but its name is actually called "The Pivot of Suppressing Evil". It is actually a container blessed by the magic of the light. The power of the magic prevents cultists from praying to the evil god for power inside.
When cultists are occasionally captured alive, this thing is basically a necessity.
"Bang!"
The lid of the box closed.
The real Rune Monger disappeared from everyone's sight.
In name, the person imprisoned here will be a cultist found in the Monger Manor. He will echo the thunder of the outside world's Gilded Club to prove that Rune Monger does have evidence of collusion with cultists.
In this way, the substitution of the pillars is completed.
The real Monger replaced Master Petwin, who pretended to confess.
The scope of people who knew about this matter was extremely small.
In addition to the believers who participated in the operation, even the Crusaders who participated in the search of the manor were ordered to investigate the evidence related to the cultists.
Only Henry Genova and the two confidants he brought with him had the opportunity to see who the so-called "cultists" were.
Finally, when the Crusaders left Monger Manor, Dolan, who had taken the opportunity to leave earlier, would take the opportunity to record the scene with the photo crystal next to him, and then... give it to the MI6 spies who spread rumors in the capital to spread the news!
Although no real cultist participated in the whole thing, it was a real Crusaders investigating the evil god!
...
Lun Monger was arrested.
The cancer hidden in the dark of the capital was finally pulled out, but Prince Fradin was not very happy.
On the contrary, he was in a low mood.
After a long while, he sighed:
"Alas..."
He couldn't understand why Rune Monger would choose to go with evil for such a simple reason.
"Live longer? Is it really that important?"
Prince Fradin asked Pete and others in a daze.
Pete was silent.
If he had to say it, he couldn't answer Prince Fradin's question.
Death was a very distant topic for him.
Especially after receiving the blessing of the God of Knowledge, with the protection of [Rebirth], ordinary death could not end their lives at all.
A new death is just the beginning of the next great adventure.
So they actually didn't really consider the heavy proposition of death.
What's more.
Even if they really died of old age, after a wonderful and magnificent life in the mortal world, they would be eligible to be promoted to the kingdom of gods, where they would start a new adventure with an infinite and complicated future.
"Rune Monger, does he truly believe in and receive the blessing of any god?"
Miranda was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.
"...The God of Wealth? Uh... No, that doesn't seem right." Gale subconsciously wanted to answer.
Gale realized the problem immediately after he finished speaking.
People have always believed that Rune Monger was a guy who was favored by Proust, the God of Wealth, and he seemed to be able to easily earn a lot of gold coins no matter what he did.
Although the Gilded Club was exposed, not only did it not make money, but it also cheated everyone's money.
But before this scam was born, the other party was the real richest man!
But Rune Monger never said that he had received the blessing of the God of Wealth. He even ridiculed himself in a joking tone in public. If the God of Wealth really protected him, maybe he wouldn't have to start from scratch by selling juice.
Moreover, whether the God of Wealth will really bless mortals is still an unsolved mystery.
I have never heard of any magic that can make people rich as long as they use it, or good things like gold coins falling from the sky and picking up treasure chests while walking.
Not to mention the God of Radiance and other gods.
As long as you can successfully get the blessing of a certain god, the corresponding church will be happy to accept and take care of you. Even if you were originally a refugee who couldn't even get enough food, you can immediately get the assistance provided by the church and have no worries about food and clothing from then on.
Moreover, if Rune Munger could really be protected by a god, the god's church would certainly use his name to spread the word and attract more believers.
However, this has never happened before.
It seems that since Munger emerged, he has been a staunch nonbeliever.
No god is willing to bless him.
...
There's more to come in the evening!
