The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 87 No.20 Act Three. The Devil's Deal

White?
Why is he?
Hasn't the Izarian family been at odds with the Durant family?
Rosen thought about why White appeared on this occasion. The situation that had gradually become simpler seemed to become more complicated.

White was also accompanied by an unranked peak guard. He walked into the restaurant, greeted the boss, then climbed the stairs, stepped into the private room, and greeted each other with the two who had already arrived. There was no sign of disharmony.

"How's the recent shipment doing?"

Bishop Edgar was the first to speak. He waved his hand lightly, and a wave of magic power surged from the golden bracelet on his wrist. The entire private room was surrounded by an invisible force field, and no sound could be heard.

Rosen saw Ellander frowned. Obviously, such isolation was quite effective for the Black Iron Steps, but Rosen didn't have to worry at all.

His perception directly penetrated this layer of barriers, quietly listening to the conversation in the private room.

"It's pretty good. There are many rich people among the refugees in Reggios, and the goods in the city have a market."

It was Mu La who spoke. He sipped the red wine in his glass and said slowly, presumably the "goods" in their mouths meant holy water.

"Even if it is distributed for free in the city, as long as you know that this item is in short supply outside the city, speculators will find someone to buy it in large quantities and smuggle it out of the city for sale."

"Master Durant is really a genius, he can think of such a way to make money."

At this time, White no longer faced the kindness of Rosen and the others, but replaced it with a flattering expression.

"If it weren't for White, you secretly got through with those traders, how could they wake up so quickly."

Mulla smiled.

"You and I are at odds on the surface, so that those hesitant merchants are all on your side, but they don't even know that they are the fools who have been fooled."

It turned out to be the case.

Rosen immediately had an answer in his mind.

The Durant family and the Izarian family seem to be at odds, but in fact they have long been in collusion. During this plague, White wandered among some merchants, secretly conveying the Durant family's smuggling of holy water for huge profits. This has caused others to follow suit, but how could the Durant family who controlled the city gate allow others to smuggle successfully so easily.

In the beginning, smuggling must have been easy, and everyone bought more holy water after tasting the sweetness. Then, the Durant family suddenly tightened the access channels, making it impossible to smuggle smoothly.

In the end, only a few merchants should have sold the holy water they bought from various sources, and most of the rest were piled up in warehouses, unable to see the light of day. At this time, most people would only think that it was Durant Everyone harmed him, but he didn't expect that the one who benefited the most this time was actually the Holy Church.

You know, how can ordinary people sell their holy water so easily in the face of the plague? Most of the holy water hoarded by merchants was secretly purchased from the holy church through their relationships.

Such a trinity, where all three parties can benefit, is indeed quite a terrible plan.

Rosen saw Ellander clenched her fists secretly. Obviously, although she couldn't understand it, she could understand the general ins and outs of it.

Bishop Edgar's current behavior is tantamount to apostasy. He is a sinner who should be punished by the night watchman. If Elander hadn't considered patiently waiting for a better time, he would have rushed in to do it right now. .

Bishop Edgar's strength is only lower than that of Black Iron, but as the bishop of the diocese of Byron Weiss, he has a lot of magical items on his body, and Erandall is not confident that he can retreat unscathed after a frontal breakthrough.

What's more, there are still many doubts about the current situation. Even if she knows that Bishop Edgar has betrayed others, she still has to collect more evidence to convince the Inquisition Inquisition.

In fact, even Irandell himself didn't believe it very much. The self-disciplined bishop would fall to this point. Her life was saved by Bishop Edgar. Unless it was a last resort, Irandell didn't want to kill her.

Moreover, since the decades of infighting in the Holy Church, the Tribunal of Heresy has imposed many restrictions on the handling of heresy in the Holy Church. After all, people do not want to see such an arbitration institution reduced to some people to eradicate dissidents Tool of.

If there is no definite evidence, accusing the supreme bishop of a diocese is quite a bold act. Although Elander's heart is full of turmoil, he still suppresses his feelings.

Rosen has no plans to do anything, and there are still too many doubts, such as why there is leaching of the printing worm in the holy water, how this plague broke out, and if there are really cultists behind the scenes, then what exactly? One side is the power of the heretics?
The three people in the private room continued talking for a while, before finishing eating and drinking, they left the restaurant in batches.

It was already late at night, and the moonlight shone on the roof, reflecting on Elander's body. This petite nun was silent, like a statue of a saint.

"It seems you've got what you wanted."

Rosen said that if he wants to investigate now, he can only go deep into Durant or Izarian's house. As for the church, he is not ready to confront a big force head-on.

"Our two goals are the same, or at least at this point in time, and that is to collect evidence that the church is colluding with merchants to sell holy water."

But now he had another thought.

"Well, how about our cooperation?"

The investigation of the sanctuary was handed over to Erandall. He believed that as a night watchman, Erandall was quite happy to eradicate such scum inside the sanctuary.

Rosen's words faded away in the winter like the whispers of a demon, but Erandall couldn't refuse.

This mercenary is extremely powerful, regardless of his motives, but at least the two of them are now on the same front, and it is not absolutely impossible to cooperate with each other.

Although this is a scandal within the church, the people above would definitely want to deal with it secretly if possible, but the matter has come to this point, and this incident involves too much, and it can no longer be easily buried.

"what do you want?"

Ellander said coldly that she just wanted to get in touch with Pachelbel as soon as possible at this time, and took the children from the orphanage away from the Byron Wiss Cathedral. It is hard to guarantee that Bishop Edgar would have noticed her return this time. It's not just about visiting old friends, but also about thoroughly investigating the corruption cases that are rumored in the Byron Weiss Cathedral.

As early as when accepting the task, Ellander had a faint premonition that everything she was familiar with in the past would be overthrown, but when it was done, she still couldn't let it go.

What's more, Bishop Edgar is deeply trusted by Pachelbel and the children in the orphanage. At that time, these children and Pachelbel will become hostages of Bishop Edgar. This is the last thing Ellander wants to see Arrived.

So, she decided to test Rosen. In any case, since this powerful mercenary is interested in this, she can use the background of going to the church to hire him to work for her.

"Let's think about it, it depends on what you can give."

Rosen didn't answer directly. He knew that he was negotiating terms now, but he couldn't think of anything to ask for for a while, but helping for no reason would arouse suspicion, so he thought about it before speaking.

"Why don't you promise to do something for me? Of course, this matter will not violate your conscience and principles, how about it?"

This is the most room for explanation, Rosen thought.

But I didn't expect Ellander to be stunned after hearing Rosen's words, and then there seemed to be a slight blush on her cheeks, showing a rare embarrassed expression, she hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

"make a deal."
