The latter took it with a smile, and said in a pleasant voice:
"Thank you, sir."
Chen Lun also poured himself a glass of red wine. Although he didn't like drinking, he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere at this time, so he lightly clinked glasses with Fu Luoyin.
Jingle.
The two took a sip and smiled at each other.
Soon, the charity dinner began. Hoyll and Tracy invited an experienced host to start auctioning collections or personal belongings donated by nobles and wealthy businessmen according to the procedure.
This is a charity auction, so the auction items are not of high value, but these nobles and wealthy businessmen still bid for face, and to a certain extent, they can be regarded as good relations with people in the circle.
For example, the first lot is an ivory dressing box of a noble lady, its actual value may only be tens of gold pounds, but another wealthy businessman will spend hundreds of gold pounds to take it, saying that his wife admires it very much This noble lady admired her taste very much.
In this way, the connection between nobles and wealthy businessmen was created by this trivial matter.
Chen Lun didn't spend too much energy on these auction items, and he didn't even want to take a look at them... He was willing to come this time, one is to give Huo Yiner and Tracy face, and the other is to donate a little gold pounds.
Although he is a time traveler and a transcendent, he still has a little sympathy for the miserable civilians in this other world. He will not do some acts of the Virgin that harm his own interests, but he is willing to contribute a little within his ability.
This is Chen Lun's bottom line, and also the humanity he sticks to.
At this time.
Chen Lun hooked his hand slightly, and his index finger fell off by itself, turning into a small snake the size of an earthworm, and crawled out of the box.
Noticing Fu Luoyin's slightly puzzled expression, he explained with a smile:
"Next door is a large box, and people from the local shelter and the two Fangzheng Churches are in it..."
Fuluo Yin Mingwu nodded.
Chen Lun intends to listen to the corner to see what the official people mean.
When the little snake got into the box next door through the crack of the door, it quickly hid under the dining car at the door.Through the general knowledge of the five senses, Chen Lun shared the senses of the little snake and saw the scene inside clearly.
In the luxuriously decorated large box, next to the expensive and exquisite coffee table, there were three long sofas. Four people came from the shelter. They are a deputy team leader and two senior investigators.
There are only three members of the Madman School, two men and one woman. They look quite old, with half-white hair, wearing light blue robes, and a strong bookish atmosphere. They are silent and rest their eyes with their eyes closed.
There are five members of the Hailing Regiment, wearing dark green uniform sleeveless uniforms, with a pendant with closed eyes hanging on their chests.
"I'm very glad that you Hailing group can participate in such an event together, Mobus."
The leader of the shelter, Amos, raised his glass.
The middle-aged rough man called "Mobus" is the dean of the Hailing Regiment, equivalent to the bishops of other churches. He smiled generously and returned a glass of wine.
"It's nothing. After all, I'm new here, and I can get a preliminary understanding of the situation in Peacock City through these daily gatherings."
The two chatted a few more words at the charity dinner, and the three members of the Madman School did not make a sound during the whole process.
At this time, the leader of the shelter, Amos, pondered for a while, and tentatively said:
"Well, it may be a bit abrupt to say that, but I would like to ask if the Hailing Regiment can melt the ice in the eastern seaport, so that the port can resume operations and the plight of the entire Peacock City will be resolved."
"Hahaha……"
Mobus laughed, and he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"At the beginning we took over from the History and Ceremony Association and were assigned to Peacock City, which was also the meaning of the high-level empire... because this is a port city, isn't it? Our Hailing regiment is best at this field."
After hearing this, Amos' eyes lit up.
Everyone in the shelter around him also smiled.
But Mobus suddenly sighed and said in embarrassment:
"But such a large area of ice is somewhat beyond my expectations... I need some time to report this matter and get support from high-level officials."
"This……"
Amos frowned.
If it continues to drag on, the situation in Peacock City will only get worse. He has every reason to believe that the Hailing Group is not incapable of solving the ice problem in the port, but simply unwilling.
Perhaps because the price to be paid was too great, the other party chose to stand by and watch after weighing the pros and cons.
The reason why Amos thinks this way is entirely because most of today's Orthodox Churches have long since lost their previous creeds, and have turned a blind eye to the "Oath of the Seven Gods" and become extremely selfish.
If not, why hasn't the turmoil caused by the Red Apple Church been resolved?
It is these Orthodox churches that only talk but don't do anything. They are eloquent and righteous at the Supreme Conference.
"Their energies are now devoted to the election of the Orthodox Church..."
At this moment, the female elder from the Madman School spoke up.
"The Church of the Seven Great Gods, those lunatics from Red Apple were kicked out of the seat, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the vacant seat..."
Amos suddenly realized.
The other three members of the shelter also looked at each other in blank dismay.
The five members of the Hailing regiment did not make a statement after listening, and Mobus, the leader, even smiled.
But Amos had already believed the Madmen's school of thought.
Chen Lun, who was separated by a soundproof wall, suddenly frowned, thinking of something.
"The election of the Orthodox Church...has this matter been brought forward? '
He immediately thought of a very important event and fell into deep thought.
------------
Chapter 326 The Controversy for the Seat of the Orthodox Church
"In my previous life, I was kicked out of the seat of the Orthodox Church because of the Red Apple Church. Many large supernatural forces competed for the vacant position... Among them, only two were the last to laugh, the Natural Sect and the Mutual Aid Society."
Chen Lun tried hard to remember.
"Not only because these two extraordinary forces believe in the two true gods, the sacred tree lady of nature, and the old man who buried the bone, the god of conspiracy...but also because they are the strongest."
His eyes looked down at the auction stage outside the transparent one-way window, and he rubbed his chin.
His eyes gradually narrowed.
"However, for unknown reasons at the time, the Sun King personally issued an oral order to exclude the natural sect... Only the Mutual Aid Club was left, so the two factions within the Mutual Aid Club, the Brotherhood of the Black Knife and the Murder Club, wanted to compete against each other. A true position of power..."
Chen Lun shook his head.
"It's a pity that the Murder Club was in sight of winning, but because of the intervention of a third party, the Brotherhood of the Black Knife counterattacked, and the result was a loss for both sides... No one of the vacant Orthodox Church won, so let's let it go and let this matter go. I remember That third-party force, which seems to be an organization of extraordinary people with a path of fate, is called the Twilight Tea Party."
In a large box separated by a wall.
The female elder of the Madman School continued:
"This time, there are more than a dozen large supernatural forces competing for the vacant seat in the Orthodox Church, including natural sects and mutual aid associations..."
"Natural Sect and Mutual Aid Society?!"
The two senior investigators at the shelter seemed surprised.
"Aren't they all evil organizations that are at the top of the empire's hazard list?"
Team leader Amos glanced at his subordinates, opened his mouth slightly, but did not explain.
Some news is only known to the top, and most of the people below only see the surface.
The natural sect has been suppressed by the empire, blocked in the depths of the Coleridge forest in the north, and strictly restricted their missionary work outside... and the mutual aid society, because its members are spread all over the empire, they use nobles, wealthy businessmen and middle class as disguises Identity, behind many large-scale mysterious hazards, has its shadow, so it has been vigilant and hunted by the shelter.
But now is different.
With the Red Apple Church in turmoil and the Orthodox Church vacant, the "problems" of the Natural Sect and the Mutual Aid Society are nothing... As long as they can help the empire clear the red plague, they will be given seats in the Orthodox Church. It doesn't matter.
Even if the Boneburied Old Man is recognized as an "evil god" in the mysterious field, as long as the Mutual Aid Association finally wins the seat and the empire says he is a righteous god, then he is a righteous god.
This is what the Sun Royalty means.
It may also be because the "conservatives" at the top of the shelter have temporarily gained the upper hand.
Rather than drinking poison to quench thirst, it is better to say that fighting poison with poison is a helpless move in a critical situation.
"Heh, the Hailing Regiment supports the Natural Sect."
The female elder from the Madman School said flatly.
Mobus, the chief priest of the Hailing Regiment, smiled and didn't admit it, but only joked:
"Ms. Abigail, you can't talk nonsense. Could it be that the "Tutor Group" of your Madman School has obtained inspiration from ancient magical wonders?For example, what ravings did you hear, what illusion did you see, and a big tree grew on the sea, so we decided that we should support the natural faction to compete for the seat of the Orthodox Church?Ha ha. "
The faces of the three from the Madman School remained unchanged, but their eyes turned slightly colder.
at this time.
The people in the large box suddenly noticed something. The leaders, Amos, Mobus and Abigail, suddenly turned their heads and looked at the soundproof wall on one side... To be precise, they looked at where Chen Lun was. box.
"Huh? There are fluctuations in the spirit world... Who is that next to you?"
Amos frowned.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered his two senior investigators to investigate.
"Go out and see who the guest next door is."
"Yes, Team Leader Amos."

Chen Lun frowned.
Looking at the messenger from the spiritual world that suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt a little surprised.
"I'm sorry sir, I came to see you at this time and this place..."
The faceless waiter was carrying a tray with a clean white towel on his arm, and said in an apologetic tone.
It also seemed to be aware of the identities of the people next door, and deliberately did not mention Chen Lun's pseudonym "Qiao Ke".
"It's just because the situation is urgent, so I came here to send you a letter, please understand..."
The faceless waiter said, and handed a letter on the tray to Chen Lun.
"The club's high-level "Knights of the Round Table" issued an important order to invite every member to participate in the hunt for the red apple church. The specific reason is described in detail in the letter... In addition, although this task is mandatory, it also has a lot of rewards. Please add more, sir. consider. "
It added in a low voice:
"You seem to be exceptionally good at this, and I think it would be perfect for you."
The waiter, who couldn't see his face, seemed to chuckle lightly.
Immediately, it didn't stay any longer, and just said goodbye and left without even asking for a tip.
Holding the letter in his hand, Chen Lun already roughly guessed what it was.
He turned his head and glanced at Floyd, and found that she was sitting obediently by the side, neither asking nor disturbing him.Chen Lun smiled, scratched the sealant with his fingers, and took out the letter paper to check.
half an hour.
He put away the letter and secretly said yes.
"The Murder Club has already begun to compete for the seat of the Orthodox Church. The most important indicator of the empire is the achievement of killing the Red Apple Church... Whichever side contributes the most will be the most likely to fill the vacant seat."
Chen Lun had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"The rewards are really rich. The Murder Club will give out a large amount of extraordinary wine, gold pounds, mysterious substances, strange objects and even extraordinary knowledge as rewards... At the same time, it also reminds members that if they refuse to participate in the battle, they will be expelled from the club membership."
He suddenly remembered those memories from his previous life. The Murder Club was the last fight, only one step away from the seat, and the real opponent was only the Brotherhood of the Black Knife.
But this result has not happened yet, only Chen Lun knows!
"The identity of the murder club member is of great use to me, and I can't discard it at will. In this way, I need to participate in the war, but it is just what I want. It not only weakens the strength of the Red Apple Church, but also can increase the contribution of the main task. And There are so many rewards in the club... So can I contribute more in this big event... If I finally help the Murder Club sit on the throne of the Orthodox Church..."
Chen Lun was taken aback by his own thought, but then fell silent again, and began to weigh the pros and cons.
Assuming that the Murder Club is successful, another faction of the Mutual Aid Society, the Black Knife Brotherhood, will come to an end, and the identities of all club killers will also be officially recognized... Even Chen Lun's vest "Qiao Ke", the S-rank wanted criminal in the empire, will not will be prosecuted again by the authorities.
This is the energy of the Orthodox Church, and it is also the inevitable compromise made by the empire.
As a member of the "Gold Cup Level" of the Murder Club, Chen Lun's status is not low, and he will rise to become a middle-level and high-level member of the Orthodox Church... Many difficulties will be solved, and things will become easier.
