Global Invasion: I Can Card BUG

Chapter 325 The Situation (3)

One of the human empires, the Dragon Empire.

Dragon Capital - the capital city of the Dragon Empire.

This is a majestic city entrenched in the wilderness. The square city layout has a unique beauty. The four city gates are inlaid with pearlescent gems, reflecting the bright light in the dark silver night. Looking in all directions.

The construction in the city is also extremely luxurious. Precious metals are generally used as decorations in houses. Even the poorest and poorest residents will make thin slices of gold on the roof of their houses and place them on the roof to pray for the blessing of the gods.

This kind of house decoration made of precious metals, even the most greedy thieves dare not peek at it.

The dragon god likes things of gold and silver, and the gold and silver decorations that the commoners put on the roofs are in a sense regarded as tributes to him, and no thief dares to steal these things.

This custom has been circulating in the Kingdom of Dragons for a long time, and there are past historical records where thieves stole these gold and silver decorations.

According to legend, there was a thief who was promoted to the rank of Extraordinary. He thought he was powerful in stealing and stole the golden statues decorated on the roof of houses by several nobles.

A few days later, people saw the daring thief on the street, kneeling and unable to move, while the stolen gold statues were in front of him.

He mysteriously died on his knees.

People just thought it was a miracle, and the gods would indeed set their sights on these gold and silver objects, so that everyone became keen on placing belongings on the roof.

Once the gold and silver things placed on the roof of a lucky person's own house are gone, and there is no trace of theft, then the gods must have looked at their house, collected their wealth, and bestowed corresponding blessings .

This is indeed the case. With blessings, some lucky people are either born with extraordinary talents or well-versed in official careers. Whether they are in the army, politics, or teaching, they are all smooth sailing.

However, in the past month, a strange thing happened.

The gold statues and gold and silver decorations decorated on the roofs of many luxurious mansions of the rich and nobles have disappeared collectively for unknown reasons.

At first, people thought that the gods were paying attention to them, but the fact was that the people involved did not feel any blessing.

There were more and more incidents like this, and finally people had to be convinced that these "tributes" were stolen by daring thieves.

People began to wonder which thief was so bold, and the parties involved did not immediately report the crime, just waiting for the thief to die suddenly on the street.

In this way, a month has passed.

More and more nobles and wealthy people are being stolen, but the thief has never been found, and it is not even possible to confirm whether it is a gang or an individual.

It is said that even the people in the church were investigated, but nothing was found. It is not known who committed the crime.

In order to show their piety, many nobles and rich people always decorate their roofs with a lot of gold and silver objects. The thieves only need to take some casually every time, and randomly select the unlucky ones to commit crimes, so people in the church can't find them. any way to investigate.

According to legend, the thieves who stole these "tributes" were often punished by the gods. As the orthodox insiders of the Dragon God Church, they certainly knew the truth of these things.

In fact it is true.

The God of the Giant Dragon achieved his status with the laws of "dragons", so he naturally likes luxury things such as gold and silver like a dragon.

In a sense, the possessions on the roof are His symbols in the human world. As long as He is willing, He can look at the world through these possessions at any time.

Stealing these gold and silver items is tantamount to graffiti on His symbols, and you will definitely feel something.

This is His authority!
What is most puzzling to the believers of the Dragon Church now is that the god has no reaction to this, as if he does not know that someone is stealing his "tribute".

In the past, when dealing with bad theft cases, the church also used prophecy and detection spells to find the murderer in one step. The methods that used to be invincible are now encountering difficulties.

No matter what kind of spell is good, no trace of the thief can be found.

Just when the big shots in the church were alarmed, a group of people suddenly appeared, saying that all the stolen property had been found.

People from the royal family and the church took turns to contact this group of people. Various spells were cast on this group of people to check their origins and whether they were lying.

In the end, all the spells fell on them like stone sinking into the sea, without any response.

The envoys of the royal family suspected that this group of people was the culprit of the theft of property, but the people sent by the church believed that they were good people and were willing to vouch for them.

Ever since, the group of people who found the property turned around and became guests.

The culprit of the stolen property was determined to be an extraordinary person sent by the country of nobles. Anyway, there were occasional frictions between the two countries and the diplomatic relations were not friendly. It would be right to blame other countries.

In a secret room in the church.

Pope Justa Peter sat on a chair, and in front of him was a round mahogany table, which was full of people at the moment.

"I didn't expect you to have such an ability. Not only can you block the gaze of the gods, but you can also prevent all detection spells from taking effect. It seems that I did not choose the wrong person."

The Pope smiled kindly, with a gentle expression on his face, and his eyes were as gentle as a kind elder looking at his own younger generation.

Li Motian sat on his side, looking at the pope, and couldn't help but feel a little disobedient.

With a full three-meter-high figure, just sitting in this small secret room brings an indescribable intimidation, but such a majestic man is His Excellency the Pope with a peaceful face.

Except for the pope, the other people sitting in their respective positions are also members of the shadow force.

In other words, the Pope is the only outsider here!
Li Motian recalled the chance encounter that day.

When he first came to the kingdom of dragons, he spent a lot of time adapting to the living environment and customs of the country, and the intelligence gathering work of the shadow troop led by him in the kingdom of dragons also made no progress.

After solving the difficult work in the early stage, they barely took root here and established their first stronghold.

Just by chance, he met the Pope of the Dragon Church.

For some reason, the other party recognized his identity at a glance, and had a friendly conversation with him during the first meeting.

The information obtained during this meeting was very explosive. The Pope directly pointed out the conflict between the Dominic Church and the royal family, and was very happy to cooperate with Li Motian and the others.

As for why they should cooperate and why they should choose themselves and others, the Pope did not say.

In order to show his sincerity, the Pope secretly handed over some information about the Kingdom of Dragons and some secret information within the church to Li Motian.

This is also the most needed result of their operation. As for why these things are given away, the Pope still has not given a reason.

Since then, the first joint operation between the two parties is this time "stealing the gold and silver things on the roof".

The pope is responsible for restricting the search and arrest of the church and the royal family, and clearing the shadow army of charges after the operation is successful; while Li Motian is responsible for theft, and needs to hide his identity to avoid the prying eyes of the gods.

Seeing the peaceful and smiling expression on Pope Justa Peter's face, Li Motian realized that the results of this operation made the other party very satisfied.

"I believe you still have many doubts in your mind, but please don't worry. We will have a lot of cooperation in the future. Letting you help steal tributes is also to lay the foundation for future cooperation." Pope Jusda said unhurriedly said.

Li Motian frowned slightly. Now the other party seemed to understand their situation very well. However, for this pope, it was difficult for them to guess the other party's purpose.

After reporting the situation to his superiors through a private channel, the chiefs also allowed him to negotiate further with the pope, but the most important thing was to find out the other party's intentions.

Li Motian organized his language, and asked tentatively, "I wonder if His Excellency the Pope can tell us why you did such a thing that violated the faith?"

No matter how you look at it, hiring others to steal tribute from your own gods is not something a pope can do.

Ustad smiled politely, waved his big palm, and signaled Li Motian not to worry:
"You don't have to doubt my true heart. For now, I do believe in the God of the Dragon, and He is still my Lord. It's just that what I have done cannot be known to Him, and from the goals of both of us See, we're on the same road."

Then, he keenly noticed that Li Motian still had some concerns, and continued:
"In order to express my sincerity, I will first reveal some truths. The main reason for cooperating with you is to avoid my lord's perception. As the pope, it is difficult for me to hide my behavior from my lord's eyes. This cooperation is also to test your ability."

"Being able to extract tribute without the knowledge of the gods, you are very courageous and have the ability to match it. We can continue to cooperate. You are from another world. You should be fighting for your own homeland, and I am fighting for your own homeland. itself."

This kind of relationship of mutual use and mutual control is often the simplest, and both parties to the negotiation are well aware of this.

If the Pope has some ulterior purpose, then why not have their shadow troops sneak into the great plane of Fenn?

After thinking about it carefully, and asking the staff's opinion on the private channel, Li Motian finally made a decision.

The cooperation between them and the Pope will not be mixed with any emotions, and can only be a pure relationship of mutual use.

But no matter from which point of view, the opponent's behavior against his own beliefs is completely conducive to destroying the national power of the Dragon Empire.

"We can cooperate. What's the next move?" Li Motian crossed his hands on the table, his eyes were like burning fire.
