Chapter 322 No Money, No Fun
Cardinal Passamara smiled and didn't care about Luke's tone.
"Well, cowboy, your accent doesn't give the impression that you're American."
Luke said nonchalantly:
“No one says cowboys are Americans, right?”
Pasamala smiled and answered him:
“Only Americans talk about cowboys with pride.”
Although Luke pretended not to care, he still cared a little in his heart.
This old man seems to be very experienced, and I won’t be able to hide this matter for too long.
But he doesn't care.
It seems that this guy is also an old fox.
Luke stopped talking, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
"We vampires have an agreement that we cannot use the power of the church to destroy them."
"I can't tell you the details. It's a church secret."
"We can't touch them, but you, the cowboy from America, can."
Luke raised an eyebrow.
"Then what's in it for me?"
The cardinal said with difficulty:
"Europe has never been peaceful. Beneath the splendid appearance of civilized society, there is darkness everywhere."
"And there are always unknown things in those dark corners."
"Young man, you..."
Luke interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Don't make empty promises to me. I'm not a young man. Let's be more practical. Also, I'm not short of money."
These words silenced the cardinal for a long time.
It stands to reason that no one doesn't like money, no matter how much it is.
But Young Master Qin really is not short of money, and he said this from the bottom of his heart.
I have to say, this old man is really difficult to deal with.
The cardinal asked Luke with a smile.
"What do you want, young man?"
Don't answer, ask back, test the other party...
Luke didn't want to continue dealing with this old guy.
"I don't want to have anything to do with your church. Let's just go our separate ways. Don't get in my way when I'm doing something."
The cardinal nodded and said to him with a smile:
"We can provide you with some intelligence and help within our capabilities when necessary."
After saying this, the cardinal took off the large cross from his neck and handed it to Luke.
“In Europe, you can take it to any Catholic church and ask for help.”
Luke took the cross and looked at it.
A very ordinary large wooden cross.
A little bigger than the palm of your hand, but this wood...
Holy sandalwood!
This is a wood that is extinct on Earth...
My goodness, this old man has spent a lot of money...
Luke put away the cross and asked the archbishop.
“Only Catholic churches can use it?”
It was a rare joke for the old man.
"If you are not afraid of being beaten out, you can try going to the mosque."
Luke shrugged.
"Okay, I was just kidding."
Just as Luke was about to get out of the car, the Archbishop stopped him.
"The intelligence I received is that the war between them and the werewolves has lasted for more than a thousand years."
"And tonight one of their three elders died in an internal fight among vampires. I suggest you wait until both of them are defeated before taking action."
How could Luke let those order points be lost in vain, causing losses to both sides?
The remaining few crooked and broken ones are not worth any order points.
But to catch them all in one fell swoop, we have to wait until they meet.
With Budapest's sewer network, Luke didn't want to find a werewolf lair in it.
Luke thought about it and nodded.
"I wonder where they're going to fight."
At this time, the old man dressed as a priest gave Luke a mobile phone.
"This is a phone that prevents encrypted communications. We will tell you the specific time and location."
Luke took the phone and looked at it.
Wow, a brick-like rugged phone...
But you only gave the phone, where is the charger?
Anyway, Luke doesn't believe in confidentiality for any electronic products other than those certified by Lilith.
After putting away his phone, Luke nodded to the two of them and left.
Soon after, Luke found a bar and blended into the crowd.
After changing his clothes, Luke went to a hotel and waited for news from the church.
By the way, let Lilith investigate the situation of Bishop Pasamara.
Lilith was very efficient and sent the cardinal's message to Luke.
This is a hard-line bishop who comes from the ascetic order of the Vatican.
The current Pope is about to retire, and this bishop is a strong contender for the next Pope.
No wonder the old guy found Luke and asked him to clean up the vampires in Hungary.
And Lilith also gave Luke unexpected news.
One of the people rescued from the murder factory in Slovakia was an undercover agent sent by the Vatican.
The person who sent this undercover agent was Archbishop Pasamara.
After browsing through all the information, Luke grinned.
Damn it, there are a bunch of black-hearted politicians causing trouble everywhere.
Apparently, the Vatican is no exception.
Why does Italy always come up with weird things?
The hardliners want to gain power by clearing out the dark creatures?
No, actually he was just eyeing the wealth of these vampires that had a history and accumulation of thousands of years.
Playing politics, you can’t play without money…
After connecting the phone to the tablet, Lilith discovered the trick in the phone.
Covert monitoring and positioning functions.
Haha, under the testing of Lilith's more than 20 most advanced supercomputers in the world, no one can surpass Lilith in this regard.
Just after midnight, a message came from the church.
Luke did not destroy his phone. Instead, he used Lilith's advanced technology to reversely hack into the church's network.
But even Lilith cannot brute force the confidential information inside.
This is the good thing about electronic devices: any operation will be recorded.
You said to delete the record? That will be recorded too.
But Lilith has a way to intercept data when others are browsing or calling a confidential file.
In this way, confidential documents can be obtained without anyone noticing.
As for the monitoring and positioning functions in the mobile phone, they are not a problem at all for Luke.
He won't use this phone to contact others.
If you don’t want to expose your whereabouts, just put your phone in the portable space.
How do you locate yourself if you are not in the same plane?
After changing his clothes again, Luke quietly left the hotel.
In fact, in European cities, not many people go out at night.
Not as lively as China.
The main reason these people don't come out is not because it's as dangerous as in the United States, but because there are really no entertainment activities.
Apart from bars, there are basically no shops open at night.
So there are really few people on the streets at night except for the bars.
The location given by the church was actually an abandoned control hub in the sewer.
This is the werewolf's lair...
Back to Selene.
She took the surviving werewolf back to the vampire's manor.
Under her questioning, the werewolf revealed the truth...
Lucian, the werewolf leader, is indeed still alive.
Elder Victor's men also discovered that Elder Amelia and the Vampire Council were completely wiped out.
Only then did he realize that Klein had deceived him for more than six hundred years...
But what made him even more angry was that Klein actually escaped early...
Elder Victor had no choice but to order Selene to wipe out the werewolves and capture Klein.
