crush the rich

The man on the armchair was wearing a black cloak. In terms of his attire, he didn't look like a priest at all, but he felt more similar to the mages who were haunting the city at this time.

But of course this is a disguise.For the holy city at this time, any clergymen from the original Sun Temple are no longer suitable to wander around the city wearing divine robes.It is meaningless to insist on the dignity of the church. It will only make the man, like most of his former counterparts, a wronged soul under the mages, or a high-level slave who is tortured to vent his anger.

Especially the appearance of a man and the status of a former bishop are more likely to be treated as spoils of war.

Anil originally planned to use civilians to test Yin Lian.Through the church's contact with this pagan oracle, Anil has realized that this oracle may not be as benevolent as the rumors say.She just pretended to be benevolent to win over believers.Moreover, this behavior can be said to be quite successful.

But no matter how you pretend to be gentle and kind, once you encounter a conflict of interest or a believer's aggressive behavior, it will be difficult to continue to pretend, and you can't help but want to show your flaws.And as long as Yin Lian has such emotions, Anil has something to take advantage of.

He has already made two-handed preparations. Once Yin Lian loses patience with the believers, spreading this scene will definitely cause great obstacles to Yin Lian's acceptance of the Holy City.And if Yin Lian intends to endure and pamper the woman, then next, Anil will help publicize the "benevolence" of the envoy until this kindness attracts fishers in troubled waters that the Life Cult cannot bear.

To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior has a very standard name in Yin Lian's world, called moral kidnapping.Through the established impression left by public figures to the public, arouse the sensitive nerves of some groups and force them to act strictly in accordance with the actions of saints.Once the other party breaks away from this established impression, they can find reasons to condemn the other party. Even if they cannot occupy the high point of public opinion, they can at least arouse the disgust of some people.

And if this method is used on Yin Lian, it will only be more effective when used on celebrities... because she is an envoy of God.

Different from the majesty of the envoys in the past, Yin Lian has always shown mercy.But this kind of kindness is also a double-edged sword, at least in Anil's view, there are many things that can be used.

Unfortunately, he still thinks too beautifully.

Yin Lian was much more difficult than imagined, she didn't even fall into the trap at all, and her counterattack method turned out to be the same as that of Anil, only more ingenious.

Anil kidnapped her morally and let the civilians of the Holy City intimidate her, and she responded cleanly.Her tone seemed gentle, but she condemned men for not being able to support their wives and children, and women for not being able to advance and retreat with their husbands...Since giving favor to the other party may make the other party morally flawed, in order to maintain the steadfastness of the other party's beliefs, she would rather choose to let the other party The other suffers physically, suffers from poverty and poverty.

...Sounds noble, right?

All benefits are taken by oneself, and all faults belong to others only.But even so, others can't condemn her for this kind of thing... This god is "tolerant and kind" to the point of shocking, she even hopes that the believers of the hostile sects will be loyal to her partner, even if the other party is stubborn and Disrespectful heretics - there is nothing wrong with doing this in a righteous way, but are there really such tolerant and generous people in this world...or gods?

Anil was noncommittal.In his view, Yin Lian did this because it was beneficial to her, not for any noble reason at all.But there is no doubt that this young envoy is very difficult to deal with, and it always gives him the illusion that he is fighting against the sanctimonious old guys of the church.

This situation is really troublesome.

Anil was lost in thought.

After a while, there was a sound from the corridor outside. It seemed that a group of people opened the door and came in and started to walk.However, these voices are very subtle, and they are kept below a certain level even in the room, as if they are afraid of alarming anyone.

As soon as Anil heard it, he knew that the knights had returned.

When someone opened the door and came in, Anil said, "You guys are back? You haven't been noticed, have you?"

The leading knight said: "Although they haven't been found, the situation is very troublesome. I checked and found that there are many civilians in the city who were seduced by that woman. The woman used the excuse of repairing churches everywhere to lure the civilians in the city to go to work. In the process of work, they have been instilling some evil teachings in them, for example, those who do good things will be rich in the next life, and those who do evil will turn into livestock, insects and fish... The damn thing is that many people really believe this nonsense!"

His voice was not loud, but he obviously suppressed his anger, and said: "These fools! If I knew they were so stupid and superficial, I should have burned them all!"

Anil saw his angry face, but didn't respond.The current situation is no longer a situation where the Holy City Church can burn whoever it wants.On the contrary, even if it is just a commoner, if it provokes the resentment of the other party and leads the other party to take the initiative to report to the Magic Association, the result will be disastrous.

But he could understand the other party's mood - a month ago, the Holy City was completely under the control of the Knights of the Church. At that time, whoever the Church wanted to die could not live.It's a pity that now the Knights of the Holy City have become rats fleeing here and there. They can't even guarantee their own safety. Instead, they are threatened by some ants-like civilians in the city... No wonder they feel angry.

Anil frowned.

He didn't like the mood of the other party.Because these emotions are not only useless, but also easily disrupt his plans.But even if he didn't like it, he didn't really show it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "Where's Sadsi? It seems that he didn't see him?"

Several knights were silent for a while after hearing this, and then one of them said: "Who knows? You know...he is very obsessed with that woman. Maybe he went to inquire about the envoy again. "

After hearing this, Anil finally couldn't help showing his displeasure, and said, "He went to inquire about Lian!? Didn't I tell you before that now is the critical time, so don't act rashly?" !?"

His tone finally lost its original gentleness and peace, and took on a bit of a harsh accusation.

Anil has always been mild-mannered—at least on the surface.Before the holy city was occupied by mages, although he had a high status, he didn't actually hold much real power, and his noble status was like a castle in the air.There are even many people talking about his appearance and identity behind his back, thinking that his position is not right.

But in fact, Anil's own achievements are outstanding.He has been practicing with a great mage in red since he was a teenager. He has participated in many important events in the church, and has helped the Sun God Cult win decisive victories in church battles many times.However, due to various reasons, most of these credits belonged to others in the end. Even so, the Pope still made an exception and promoted him to a high position.

To others, he seemed to have nothing to lose.But for Anil, what he lost was the foundation of his standing.

Just like at this time, when his tone was a little harsher, these knights did not give him the respect commensurate with his status, but said with a cold face: "Bishop, you care too much, even if the church is in danger now In the middle, we are Templar Knights anyway, don’t we even have the right to move around freely? Besides, I’m waiting for information, isn’t it for my lord? Does the bishop think that he is the only one who is doing his best for the church?”

The eyes of the two met for a few breaths, the knight's gaze was unrelenting and aggressive, while Anil's gaze was restrained and unpredictable.

After a few breaths, Anil's expression softened a lot, and he said, "That's not what I meant. I'm sorry, I just made a slip of the tongue. It's just that the envoy of the cult is quite capable. He suffered a loss in his hands, so he was in a hurry. No matter what, I hope that you can try to persuade him, and don't let him be led by that witch and fall into the other party's tricks."

The knight said with a smile on his face: "Sadesi is now a Knight of the Golden Medal, and with the matter of Commander Mansha, he naturally hates that witch. Does the bishop think that I am the Golden Medal of the Knights Templar?" Don’t the knights even have the ability to control themselves?”

Having said that, the knight has already made two extremely aggressive questions that no one can refute. Anil suddenly knew that no matter what he said, the other party would not accept it, so he stopped the topic and said: " If that’s the case, I won’t ask any more questions.”

Seeing that Anil backed down, the knight immediately showed a smug smile, but his tone became more unreasonable and presumptuous, and asked, "How is Your Majesty?"

Anil said: "It's still the same... Do you want to go in and have a look?"

The knight's heart skipped a beat, and he replied: "No need! Anyway, you are a bishop anyway, so can't you think of a way!?"

Anil didn't care about the rudeness of his tone, and replied in a gentle tone: "I've tried my best, it just takes some time."

The knight said: "Don't just talk about it!"

Anil didn't speak.

After the knight turned and left, he looked at the unclosed door and smiled.

Although it was a smile, Anil's eyes were very dangerous, as if stormy waves were sweeping under the calm sea, with a kind of depressive intimidation.

"Of course I'll try," he said, with a sarcastic chuckle.

Then he turned around, pushed open a secret door and walked into a dark room.The dark room was extremely dim, but there was an obese man curled up on the stone bed in the corner. He looked quite old, but his eyes were sluggish, drooling, and he had a demented look on his face.

When he heard the sound, he turned around, and the breath in the whole room suddenly stagnated, and then there was a sudden tense wave of divine power.But at the moment when the divine power was drawn, it suddenly stopped and was forced back into the old man's body.

The old man began to suffer because of this, whimpering like a child.
