Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

Chapter 54 The Archbishop came to visit and had to compromise with the church

It is said that the Archbishop of the Church of Light has arrived. Tan Aili went downstairs to meet him and performed a religious salute first: "Your Excellency the Bishop, may God be with you!"

"Child of the Lord, I wish you happiness and good luck every day. The Lord will always care for you. The Lord is very sad about the passing of this great man. May He always be in heaven and may angels play music for him..."

Tan Aili seemed very pious and followed the prayers...

Because she had been going to church with her father since she was a child, she was familiar with this, but she just didn't believe it from beginning to end.

After the bishop finished praying, he said kindly and gently: "Child, can you find a quiet room to tell some stories about God?"

Tan Aili: "Von Carthy, guard the stairs and don't let anyone go up."

“Yes! Miss…”

After leading the bishop into the study, she gently closed the door and respectfully invited the bishop to sit on the soft and comfortable sofa: "Please give me some advice, Your Excellency the Bishop. The devout Tan Aili will listen carefully..."

The bishop nodded slightly, looking at the woman in front of him kindly, and said slowly: "My child, the church is well aware of what has happened in recent days. There is a reason why the Shi Le family was exterminated by you. Since you were still a child, this bishop has witnessed your growth process with his own eyes. All the grievances you suffered during this period were the Lord's test of you. Now, you are able to ascend to the position of the head of this family, and it is also with the Lord's tacit approval. If the Lord had not loved you, you would not have been able to accomplish this feat. This fight seems like a miracle, and it is because the Lord guided everyone to help you..."

Tan Aili thought to herself, this is the usual religious saying, everything that goes well is attributed to the will of the Lord. Once the success is achieved, it is attributed to the grace and approval of the Lord...

She raised her eyes and looked directly at the bishop, and said bluntly: "I am also well aware of the entanglement between my beastly father and the church. He sent people to hunt down his illegitimate daughter, and those assassins were from the armed organization of the church. Since this is a test from the Lord to me, and they suffered heavy losses and ended in failure, I wonder if the bishop will be angry about this?" While speaking, Tan Aili's eyes were firm and fearless, as if she wanted to see through the bishop's appearance and see into his true thoughts.

A total of 260 people died, and they still failed to kill the girl in front of them. The six people she invited had low cultivation, but they burst out with strong combat power, resulting in the tragic deaths of many elites. It was impossible for the bishop not to feel distressed.

"Child, the church will not be angry. The Lord has chosen you and will surely test you with all kinds of hardships. This bishop sincerely admires you. Please don't blame the church. All this is the Lord's arrangement!"

"Without the support of the Lord and the church, I am a girl with limited knowledge and talent and will not be able to do a good job in taking over this family. Don't worry, I will serve God as devoutly as that beast. She donated 30% of the profits to the church, and I am just as devout..."

"Well done, well done! The chosen ones will surely be protected by God. My child, since you have made such a promise, the church will continue to fully support you."

"In the future, please always guide me in the right direction, Bishop. A sincere belief in God is the only way out for mankind..."

The bishop was somewhat surprised to get Tan Aili's promise. He did not expect it to be so easy. This showed that she had been a good child since childhood and was extremely devout to the church.

Because she knows all the ins and outs of this...

"Your teacher is dead. She just wanted to save you, but died in this operation. Please tell me the truth about which mercenary killed you. I can find out even if you don't tell me."

"Oh my God, I have never seen the teacher, and I cannot kill him with my skills. Even if that team of mercenaries came together, they would not be a match for the teacher. Bishop, I swear to God that I knew nothing about the teacher's death."

"This is your teacher's autopsy report. The man was tracked down by a large number of assassins. He called himself Drunkard Sangji. According to investigation, there is no such person..."

Tan Aili read the teacher's autopsy report carefully. The teacher's head was smashed by a boxing glove. Only the father and son might be able to fight. The old man was indifferent and calm, and he would not joke...

It was the Kashen brothers. The teacher was actually beaten to death by them in close combat. Tan Aili found it unbelievable and impossible. The difference in strength was too great.

"Oh my, this is really a headache! To be honest, I really don't know! I can only invite those inexperienced and junior knight-level mercenaries with limited skills. With their mediocre skills, they can't pose any substantial threat to the teacher!"

The bishop, who was high above, saw all of this. He knew it clearly in his heart, as if it were a mirror - the fact was indeed so, which was enough to prove that Tan Aili was completely unaware of it.

"This damned Wine Barrel Sangji is so abominable! However, perhaps this is just an accident. After all, your teacher may have had the misfortune of encountering a very powerful stranger ranger. Regarding this matter, the church will definitely conduct an in-depth investigation into who this Wine Barrel Sangji is."

Tan Aili thought to herself that the bishop's judgment was reasonable. Let them investigate! That guy named Kashin was so brave and fearless that he must have fought desperately behind the enemy lines. It was unbelievable that he dared to kill the teacher with close combat.

To be honest, if I were to meet the teacher, I would probably choose to fight to the death without hesitation. Because in her eyes, there is no good person in the church.

These so-called clergymen always pretend to be righteous on weekdays, but they do so many dirty things behind the scenes. Therefore, even when facing her former mentor, she will never be merciful.

The bishop was satisfied with Tan Aili's statement. As long as the 30% profit was not lost, it was good. The girl was as devoutly dedicated to the cathedral as her father. He would guide her to do things in the future. There was still a long way to go.

"Okay, beautiful Miss Tan Aili, this bishop is going back to the cathedral. You should manage the Shi Le family business well, and the Lord will take good care of you. Make more contributions to the church, and the glory will belong to you."

"Goodbye, Bishop. We need to gradually resume normal operations these days. Thirty percent of the church's profits will be donated first. I hope you can help me."

After Tan Aili sent the Archbishop away, she waited for the Mercenary Association to recruit business talents across the country for her and build a business team loyal to her.

The elite team led by the Shi Le family were all loyal believers, and their firm belief was simply astonishing!

In this way, it would be extremely difficult to effectively control them in the future. Therefore, he cleverly used the Mercenary Association to take the opportunity to eliminate all these people, leaving no one behind.

As for those insignificant minions, they could all be replaced by the lowest-level mercenaries. After all, it didn't matter if these people couldn't read a single word, as long as they didn't believe in religion, they had the potential to be trained into useful talents.

At this moment, the Mercenary Guild and the Cathedral in Shadowmoon City are already in a state of tense hostility, but the two sides have not yet completely torn their faces apart.

However, due to the killing of many warriors and his father's capable men, the church's control over various industries has been greatly reduced. Because of this, the church is increasingly resentful of the mercenary association's behavior of openly disrupting the situation and destroying the balance.
