As soon as he went out, the gloomy hooded man came over with a dagger in his hand. He exuded a faint breath of death, like a coffin that had decayed for decades in a graveyard.
The man in the hood threw a blood-stained cloth bag over and was caught by the sergeant. He said, "Old man, tomorrow is the last day of grace. If you don't prepare the ransom, you won't get a couple of pairs of feet." Already!"
The bag was opened, and there were human limbs inside!
"Can you be more generous?" Robert took out a bank card from his sleeve robe, and said awkwardly, "We have raised two thousand star dollars, and the rest..."
Before he could finish speaking, the nimble hooded man snatched the bank card.
"Do you need identity verification?" the hooded man asked.
"No, this card is not registered and can be accessed at any time..."
"Then give you another three days! This card belongs to Lao Tzu! The remaining four thousand star yuan will be delivered in three days!"
"There are two thousand star dollars in that card, sir, we should still owe three thousand..." Robert had a bitter expression on his face.
"The extra is the three-day grace period interest! You idiot!" The hooded man left cursing.
Seeing the people walking away, Robert gave orders to the sergeant without changing his face: "It takes two hours to go back and forth to the Explorer's Bank. Before ten o'clock, let the missionaries evacuate half by the front door and half by the back door. Evacuate, take your luggage away, I have mortgaged the church here to the bank, and it will not belong to us next week."
The sergeants nodded.
Just as the drunken priests dislike Cloris, there are struggles wherever there are people. They have little sympathy for the radicals who are detained by local snakes. They were arrested purely because they took the initiative to provoke.
"Isn't two thousand star dollars cheaper for him?" Cloris frowned.
"That card has no money." Robert said flatly.
Four hours later, the Hooded Man, who had been arguing with the staff at the Explorer Bank for a long time, left and returned. He angrily kicked open the door of the church, and the inside was clean, not even a spider web.
At this time, the missionary group had already entered Baiye City with Cloris.
The girl led Robert into the Cypress Leaf Building alone. The flower vines on her cheeks spread and woven into a beak mask.
"This is... the plague doctor?" After staying in the Bierre District for a while, Robert gradually learned about this one of the real power forces in Gulingting through various channels.
Moreover, he also knew that Cloris had a relative who was an epidemic doctor.
"We are tolerant and gentle, and unite as many people as possible," Cloris said calmly, "Only true enemies will use thunder."
Robert finally tied everything together.
A year ago, it was no secret that Ariente visited the Evangelical Correctional Institute and stayed in the city that never sleeps. At that time, Robert didn't care about it. He didn't know what kind of power the epidemic doctor had in the deep world. It wasn't until he came to Gulingting that he gradually learned more.
In this way, it makes perfect sense for Cloris to bring merchants to live in the Sea of Watch and conduct business with the Huck family of the Phillips Consortium—
Cloris is also a plague doctor, they are a family!
Thinking of this, Robert was relieved a lot.
The girl's identity at least shows that Chen Xi in the deep world is not doing too badly.
Walking into Alpers' office again, the smiling cat goblin greeted him obsequiously, asking Cloris and Robert to sit down.
The goblin looked at the old man and asked with a smile, "Who is this?"
"A well-respected philanthropist," Cloris said solemnly, "is as devout a believer as I am."
Alpers smiled, but he slandered countless times in his heart.
He had never seen a man who hung a string of church badges and remained devout!
However, what happened yesterday has spread, and Alpers has confirmed his identity as Cloris's epidemic doctor. Compared with that kind of behemoth, a small fish like him has no reason to raise an argument.What's more, judging from the girl's performance at the beginning, she must be a top divination master, and she must be at the cadre level in the epidemic doctor, and her strength is not bad!
Alpers didn't know about the epidemic doctor either. He had lived in Paradise for most of his life, and he could only get a glimpse of the hugeness of the Life Research and Protection Association from hearsay.That is the existence that the big shots behind him should be afraid of!
Cloris got straight to the point: "I need your Excellency to fulfill the agreement and come out in Baiye City to complete our common charity cause!"
472. Making use of strengths
Sister Star has found her back, and it turns out that this matter has nothing to do with him, Alpers.But the goblin also knows that whether it is true depends on the other party's mouth. If he is really slandered by this troublesome woman and it is related to a serious case of the Star Church, even if he can be washed out in the end, he will have to be stripped of his skin. However, it is hard to say in whose hands the power vacuum Baiye City will be.
Therefore, according to the prior agreement, Alpers pulled out the brothels in Yinliu Lane in the name of eradicating all evil, and specially assigned this right and wrong place to the reformatory that was still under planning.
How could Cloris fail to understand Alpers' trick of burying herself?Not to mention that the resettlement of hundreds of prostitutes will be a huge expense, and the interests of other people touched by it may also make the correctional center a target of public criticism.At that time, he, Alpers, could pass the reason for getting rid of Shady Willow Lane to the girl and the plague doctor, and he would pick it all up.
But the girl doesn't worry about these troubles. As long as the reformation school's business can be carried forward, the paradise will also have a day to vacate the cage and change the bird.
Cloris knew very well that she could not take root here with her own strength. Only when the water was muddy enough could she fish out a fish or two.
Leaving Baiye Building, Cloris and Robert came to the so-called land of fireworks. Because the paradise itself is a chaotic slum, ninety-nine percent of the prostitutes here are controlled and coerced by others. Abuse and beating are common. The final destination is to die early and violently, otherwise, he will be thrown into the sewer in a body full of viscera, and will be eaten by snakes, mice, rats and ants.
Cloris and Robert sat on the edge of the clearing piled with food, water and clean gray clothes. Looking at the long queue in front of them, they asked in French, "What are you going to do?"
"Including the most basic medical insurance, it takes two stars a week to raise an adult man, one and a half for an adult woman, and half or one for a child, but young children are fragile and need more protection in a harsh environment. If you want to To establish legitimacy, the prostitutes and children here need to be accepted." This is where Robert is in trouble, and this alone will cost an extra thousand dollars a month.
Moreover, this place is no different from the city that never sleeps. Neither the Church of the Sun nor the Evangelical Correctional Institute has any profitable industries, and Cloris has no way to follow the practice of the city that never sleeps and ransack the homes of the big bosses here one by one.If you want to open a factory in such a place, you not only have to be more open-minded than a factory owner like Alpers, but you also have to face the barriers created by local snakes.
"I will give you [-] star dollars as expenses from the end of the year to the end of next year," Cloris said, "We can provide boat tickets for those who want to go home, or arrange to work in the city that never sleeps..." After finishing speaking, Ke Luo Lisi sighed again, "The finances of the city that never sleeps are very good, but the jobs that can be accommodated are limited, and there are few islands around that can be developed, and most of them have been licked by the vampires of the city council, huh."
Robert nodded and said:
"The unemployed can temporarily work as volunteers in the correctional institution, and receive regular education by the way, just like the night school you arranged in the city that never sleeps. I need you to dispatch the nuns here. Blessing and praying can provide real spiritual improvement and health recovery for the bottom-level residents. This will be our foundation, the 'Gospel' and our advantage over the Sisters of the Stars.
"At the same time, we need to limit the number of believers and avoid conflicts with local factory owners because of radicals. This needs to be compromised for the time being. If we want to cover everything, we will inevitably be stigmatized for doing too many things that we cannot do."
Cloris shook her head: "Personnel placement and the management of the correctional center are not a problem, let's talk about the more important points, and the prospects I can see."
"We will be enemies of local gangsters, Miss Cloris, that Mr. Goblin has malicious intentions, so I want to confirm, will Star Church really support us?"
"What if you don't support it?"
"Then we have to take the initiative to seek support. I have a rough understanding of Gulingting's history and structure in the past few months. At present, we have three options."
When the two were talking, the soldiers of the Knights of the Sun were driving out the hooligans hiding in the houses.
A group of police raided the place yesterday, most of which were aimed at apple cider vinegar and its subordinate industries. At least hundreds of prostitutes fled to the North District, but the entangled forces in the area still have not been eradicated. Take his place and restart business under the organization of a group of small bosses.
However, it is still considered a no-man's land.
This piece of land itself belongs to the Baiye town government, but this ownership is just a name. Even if Alpers allocated this land to Cloris, he would have to use his fists to take it down.
Cloris watched the panicked prostitutes and child laborers being raised as servants being brought out to receive the simple robes woven overnight, and said calmly, "Tell me."
Robert distributed food and water to the children, and bestowed blessings: "The last thing is to learn from the actions of the Star Church here, to maintain absolute neutrality, to only give charity, and to maintain harmony with various forces."
A child in ragged clothes with brown hair covering his face took the bread from Robert's hand. He looked around at the sergeant who was cleaning the house, at the woman in a white skirt next to him, and then looked up at the old man.
"Is there anything else you want?" Robert asked with a smile.
"I..." The child stretched out his hand. Suddenly, he knocked over the table, and the food bags on the floor were dumped. He quickly hugged his arms and ran towards the direction where the flow of people was sparsest with a quicker reaction than a rabbit. go.
However, he didn't run a few steps, and suddenly tripped over something: "Ah!"
"You son of a bitch, do you want to rebel!" Cloris questioned, poking her waist.
"Okay..." Robert wanted to say some gentle words of persuasion.
With one hand, Cloris held an estimated 130 centimeters tall, skinny child of indeterminate age. The girl's slender skeleton was covered by the touch of the void and contained a strength far superior to that of an adult. She acted angry, and everyone Shouted: "Because of this guy, your food and water will be halved today! Of course, you can also leave after receiving the food, we will not force everyone to stay!"
"You will bring hatred to them." Robert was still gentle, neither happy nor angry.
"That's where it is, I'm making a rule!" Cloris said.
"I haven't seen him!" Suddenly another child said, "He is not from our place, ma'am, I am not lying!"
"We'll be punished together!" Cloris feigned anger.
The girl is not a child who can't understand snatching things. She also did "bad things" in her own way when she was a child. It was only after being whipped by Alista a few times that she learned more and became more "behaved".
To survive in this environment, one must learn to be cunning more or less.However, from the perspective of the director of the Gospel Correctional Institute, such a thorn should be taught a lesson.
"Let go of me! Let go!" The guy held by Cloris struggled and tried to bite.
The girl brought him in front of her and stared at him for a long time. The pale and strange beak mask made the latter creepy, but his eyes were still stubborn.
"Girl?" Cloris narrowed her eyes and asked, "What's your name?"
"You are the girl!" He took another bite from the air, "I am your father!"
"Patient with Walsh syndrome," Cloris said mercilessly as she threw him to the sergeant. "Put him in confinement for a day and let her recover. She will be released when she is honest." After clapping her hands, she said to the sergeant again Robert asked, "What are the other two options?"
Robert smiled and said: "Next year is the election year for Gulingting. I have learned about one of the candidates carefully. She controls the northern part of Paradise. We can integrate many ideas into the teachings and cooperate with her."
"Velomeca?" Cloris asked.
"You are much more thoughtful than I am." Robert praised.
Cloris doesn't comment on that.The girl herself is not interested in elections, how can she be so thoughtful?The reason why the name of Vilumerca blurted out was because Naina talked about it every day beside the pillow.
Of course, although she sleeps with elves from time to time, it is just a pure girlfriend relationship.
Robert continued: "The Socialist Party intends to clarify the paradise. If Ms. Vilumeka can make it happen, our business will go smoothly. What's more, the supporter behind the Socialist Party is the Society for Life Research and Protection. I believe you must have already made plans. "
Cloris was ashamed, where did she come up with such a plan?Becoming an epidemic doctor was just a matter of yesterday morning!But the girl just nodded slightly, and said: "Mine is another matter, which doesn't mean your opinion is not important."
Even though the girl in front of him is more than enough to be his great-granddaughter, Robert still has a sense of being respected by the superior. The girl in front of him must have been taught by Patriarch Chenxi to be so outstanding, and her religious status must be far superior to him. What's more, there are such fierce methods!
"Even if we don't stand in line, we will definitely offend some gangs when we choose the location of Shady Willow Lane. I have searched the major newspapers in the past 20 years. From the resume available for Vilumica, she has been expanding steadily. The park has four One-third of the region has already been controlled by the guild, assuming that a small part of her governance philosophy can be implemented, and only all citizens of the floating star sea are included in the mark of Tianshu, the civilians of the floating star sea will become her always supporters."
Just as he was talking, Robert handed out the bread in the water, and Cloris handed over the gray dress that had been woven overnight to the woman in line.
A beige long-haired woman thanked the clean clothes again and again. She looked at the two chattering birds and felt that Cloris was a little weirder, so she asked the kind and kind old man: "Excuse me, my lord... we leave How will it be arranged here?"
Robert said kindly: "We are a correctional institution, and we will provide education and relief for the homeless. Of course, you also need to do volunteer work in the correctional institution as compensation. There will be no salary for the first six months. From the seventh From the beginning of the month, you will be paid one star per week, of course, we will still provide food, lodging and medical insurance for free.”
"Are you... the adults of Star Church?" the woman asked timidly.
She had heard of the Almshouse a long time ago. In recent years, there was also a thief who often wandered around the Paradise. Occasionally, he would cause damage while stealing in Yinliu Lane, allowing some poor women to have the opportunity to escape to the nearby Almshouse.Once there, even the most daring gangsters dare not break in.What's more, these abducted people should have the right to dominate their personal freedom.
"Oh, of course not," Cloris smiled slyly, but under the cover of the mask, there was only a sweet voice like a witch tempting, which made the woman's heart tremble, "The Church of the Stars will tear down this filthy place for you ?"
The woman shook her head silently.
"The Star Church is full of kind people, but they are just lovers," Cloris said, pointing to her heart, "and we will teach you to love yourself and others."
The beige-haired woman couldn't quite understand the difference, but somehow felt that what Cloris said was more reasonable, and felt that Ms. Bird's Beak and her group treated her better.
After the woman left under the leadership of the monk, Robert was silent for a moment, and finally said quietly: "But the best choice is the Church of the Stars."
"I know, and I didn't slander them," Cloris said helplessly, pointing to the necklace around her neck, "I have also admired the sages of deep space for a long time... You know, we are in deep space. The world must be more tolerant in order to find a foothold, and Lie Yang’s unpopular approach will definitely not go far.”
Robert agreed deeply, nodded and said: "But for more than 200 years, the Church of the Stars has been sticking to the diocese west of the Rift Mountain Range, and has hardly interfered with the secular world. If we can use Sister Stars as an opportunity to get the Church of the Stars to support us, all problems will be solved. After the belief is spread, your contribution is enough to be canonized, and you are also a dream walker, so it is easier to become the patriarch through prayers and become a true saint... if you have that meaning."
It was really because the girl was too young that Robert said such a thing.It is a lifelong wish for ordinary people to become a bishop of a place, but judging from Cloris' deeds and talents, it is clear that she has the potential to be a patriarch.
Cloris nodded without showing any signs of expression, as if acquiescing to the old man's words, she turned to say: "It is difficult to get the support of the Star Church."
"Corrupt monasteries are our common enemy. I thought they only existed in the upper realm, but after the lower realm, I found that these cultists are everywhere. They always want to spread the abyss and corrupt people and things in this world."
"..."
"You can play to your strengths, like you did in front of Maxi."
Robert seemed afraid that Cloris might not understand, so he added tactfully.
What is that like?
Cloris thought about it, and it seemed that when she gained Maxi's trust, she stomped on the Grace House with added fuel, and by the way, she showed her piety to the Church of the Sun, showing her value that could be used.
Play to strengths?Cloris was sullen.
Isn't this old fox who should pull out his tongue saying that she is a liar in disguise!
However, stomping on the Corrupted Abbey seems like an idea too.
At present, the Church of the Stars does not know how far the corrupted monastery has infiltrated, and neither does Cloris, but, as the only person who fought against the cultists and successfully rescued the nun...she can make it up!
In particular, Bruni probably sees that he is a "heretic", so he might as well go along with the tide and move out of the void to pretend to be Chen Xi... Bah, punish rape and eliminate evil!
good.Cloris finally nodded in satisfaction.
Although Robert's voice was rough, there was something about him.
Good deeds should be done as early as possible. Cloris didn't delay any longer. After briefly discussing with Robert about the next construction of the reformatory, she rushed to the charity house in Baiye City.
Before entering the door, I saw Naina who was creating green plants happily surrounded by a group of children. Dolula next to her noticed the girl and trotted up to meet her: "Ms. Epidemiologist! That's right, the arrangements for the correctional center How are you doing, do you need our help?"
"The penitentiary is fine," Cloris said in a heavy voice, avoiding the topic, "Dorula, I need to contact the senior management of your church about something related to Emil..."
"What is... what?" Doroula's heart suddenly snapped.
"It's not just Emile, it should also be related to the fate of the Star Church!" Cloris said solemnly, "It's a corrupt monastery. After investigation by our internal personnel, they are planning something that can destroy Gulingting. Horrible sacrificial ceremony!"
