Chapter 285 I Know I Can't Change My Nature (4k6)

After silently praying for those unlucky ones who don’t know what kind of spiritual storm they have encountered.

Moen looked seriously at the mayor in front of him.

I used to see serious people on TV from time to time, but now I feel like I have a face like this appearing in front of me.

To be honest, Moen felt a little overwhelmed.

After coughing, Moen finally regained his composure and asked the mayor:

"Why did you bring so many people to see me?"

There are nearly a hundred travelers here, and more than half of the travelers who say this is the New World, Morn, is willing to believe it.

Mr. Mayor slightly frowned her very beautiful brows. Moen had already adjusted his mood and he was basically used to seeing more beautiful scenery, so he didn't feel anything.

But the tavern owner who came in ran away crying again.

Cry loudly and without any cover.

It seemed like he was really heartbroken.

Such an episode seemed to make the mayor lower his head involuntarily.

At the same time, Moen couldn't help but look at the tavern owner who ran away crying and asked:

"Can I take the liberty of asking, what did you do to him?"

Mr. Mayor's rosy eyebrows were slightly raised, and time seemed to stand still for this moment. On the delicate face, a pair of bright and deep eyes are like a clear spring, but they also reveal a majesty that cannot be underestimated.

After a moment, she slowly raised her slender fingers and gently rubbed her eyebrows.

Under the bright lights of the underground warehouse, her casual outfit revealing rare clothing perfectly outlined her graceful figure. Her glossy black hair was tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging down beside her fair cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

Such a woman who looks very aggressive and breathtakingly beautiful in appearance, at this moment, inadvertently reveals a completely different intelligence and elegance from her appearance.

In the past five years, she probably hasn't encountered any problems that would make her frown.

But at this moment, she sighed deeply, put down her hand that was rubbing her eyebrows, and said:

"I didn't do anything."

Although she didn't say more, Moen had a deep understanding of what was happening inside.

This is indeed a beauty that is easy to imagine.

The appearance and the inside are so opposite.

"I probably understand, so what was my previous question?"

Mr. Mayor frowned and looked at Moen again this time and said:

"Five years ago, no, it's six years ago now. Six years ago, the first batch of time travelers were pulled into this strange and weird world."

"The second batch was sent four years ago, and the third batch was sent two years ago."

"I am a public official. After I learned that other companions were accidentally brought here, and that this place can really kill us who are a world apart."

"I just prepared this underground chamber of commerce. Its purpose is to protect and unite the unlucky ones like us who have been implicated by that big shot as much as possible."

The time traveler appeared to recall a very important figure from the People's Federation.

After six years of exploration, it is basically the consensus among time travellers.

Moen looked away slightly.

Although the source of the time travel has not been found so far, as far as we know so far, the big shot who implicated them may be him.

"I deeply admire your responsibility, sir, so that's why you brought these people with you?"

Mr. Mayor looked at Moen seriously and asked:

"We feel that you must be one of ours, so in order to show our sincerity, I summoned all the companions I can as usual to invite you to join. But now, I am shaken by this view. You don't seem to be ours." Man, who are you?"

Moen did not answer this, just looked at the person behind her and said:

"Is this too risky? Your organization is to protect more time-travelers. It's okay to gather everyone together, but in a place like this, should you be more open and honest?"

In order to accept two people who don't know whether they are willing to join or not, and even whether they are companions need to be verified to come here in large numbers, it is obviously not right.

Moen initially thought that he would see the other party in person.

Regarding this question, the mayor gave an answer without too much hesitation.

"Well, that's the obvious question, safety. We're here for safety."

This answer made both Morn and Lily confused.

The current city of Rodgrens is obviously a very dangerous place.

Why come here to find safety?

After a moment of thinking, Morn asked tentatively:

"Is there something or a force that needs to be avoided from the church that is watching you?"

"You're right."

"What is it?"

The mayor shook his head and said:

"I've told you a lot for free, so it's your turn to express your gratitude. Tell me, are you and your companions the ones who killed the Patriarch?"

As she looked towards Lily, she also raised her eyebrows and said:

"An elf, and it seems to be a real high elf. Oh my god, he didn't notice it. Elf, human, patriarch, if I knew that there was a high elf next to you, I would definitely not come here."

"At least I won't bring everyone here with me."

Elves are an extremely xenophobic race, so it doesn't matter if they appear around humans.

But the problem is that these two people are probably the assassins who killed the Patriarch.

It’s easy to overthink this.

After all, it was hard for her to imagine that someone would assassinate the Patriarch of the Righteous God Church without any sign from any large force.

And this was also the reason why the young cardinal was extremely moved and started to take action.

It is unreasonable for an assassin to be alone and without any power!

Moen glanced at the girl who always kept her ears hidden under her hood and said:

"Yes, it was the Patriarch we assassinated."

Mr. Mayor frowned again:

"What you have in your hands is of great value to us, but you have also really involved us in a very troublesome matter."

Moen's affirmative answer made the mayor think for a moment.

She could already foresee the madness of the church.

Although they had made some preparations, she was still a little worried when they suddenly faced this behemoth.

After careful consideration, she asked Moen:

"You may not answer or answer selectively, but this is related to whether we are willing to continue to cooperate with you, so please consider your answer carefully."

A small clock was delivered to the table by a time traveler. This should be some kind of extraordinary prop for lie detection.

Moen didn't know the specific origin of this thing, but it didn't look like it was newly made. It was probably produced in a certain ruins.

"Can."

Moen withdrew his gaze and replied.

The mayor asked seriously:

"Why assassinate the Patriarch? Is this the beginning of a holy war?"

Regarding these two crucial issues, Moen said without any concealment:

"Because I promised a child. Then this will indeed be the beginning of a war, but it has nothing to do with other forces."

The mayor glanced at Xiao Zhong in surprise.

Did he say it was true?

so?

"Are you saying that there is no force signaling or supporting you?"

"right."

This time, even the mayor lost his temper.

"You two killed the Patriarch alone?! Do you really know what you are talking about? The church will never let you go, why?"

Moen continued to repeat the sentence:

"I promised a child."

The mayor, who calmed down slightly, couldn't help but ask:

"Is it worth it?"

Moen said calmly:

"I owe him."

The mayor, who frowned and relaxed, finally asked again:

"How far do you plan to go?"

"I plan to kill the Pope. Although I will definitely do it in a compromising way, I will also try my best to do it with operations that a mortal can theoretically replicate."

This time, the entire warehouse fell into deathly silence.

They were astonished by the audacity of the man in front of them and the absurdity of his plan.

Kill the Pope, or with mortal power?

Even though they said it was a compromise, they still felt it was outrageous.

And, is it necessary?

"Are you kidding me?"

Moen shook his head and said:

"No, sir."

After a moment of astonishment, the mayor shook his head decisively and said:

"That's impossible."

Moen smiled and said:

"Before me, did you think that two mortals could kill Patriarch Rodgrens?"

Although this made the mayor suffocate, it did not stop her. She just paused slightly and then continued:

"You have indeed accomplished a miracle, but I have also reviewed your actions. This is only based on the premise that the church has been slack for many years and that you are very clear about its protective rituals."

"And now, the church has slowly become on guard. How do you deal with the power of the pope and the more complicated rituals in Camelot? You may not even be able to see the pope."

Moen shook his head and said:

"You made a lot of mistakes."

"for example?"

"For example, I don't know what the protective ritual at the Patriarch's feet is, I just know that there will be one."

The mayor said in astonishment:

"But according to what I know, your attack did cause problems with the ritual."

Moen smiled and said:

"His rituals have always been good. My attacks didn't even cause him to waver in the slightest. Judging from what I saw later, it's a good thing that even a demigod can't handle. The so-called problem is just a cover-up."

The explosion was real, but the contamination of the ritual was fake. What flickered was not the wall of light but the explosives specially made by Morn.

Extraordinary knowledge is also inaccessible to mortals. It is more likely that the rituals used by the church's higher-ups are outrageous things that they have spent years failing to understand.

So what Moen prepared was not a weapon specifically aimed at their rituals, it was just an explosive that looked bluffing.

If you want to do this, it's very simple.

And after so many years, it is impossible for even Moen to know how the rituals used by the church work now.

From the beginning, Moen never thought of contaminating the rituals and rendering them ineffective.

He can do it, but he needs to make his actions as easy as possible for others to replicate.

So he just played a little trick and bet against the Patriarch.

If the Patriarch was afraid and used the power of the ritual and his own extraordinary props for frontal protection, then Moon would succeed.

Otherwise, Moon would return empty-handed.

The mayor, who gradually understood this, raised his eyebrows and said:

"Then your success is just luck!"

Moen said seriously:

"Before I explained this, all of you thought it was an assassination from other big shots. You, the church, and the dead Patriarch would think so."

"Because who would believe that this was just an assassination launched by two unknown little people? This is incredible!"

"You all think this is an assassination launched by a big shot, and since it was launched by a big shot, it must be a thunderbolt."

"Then, our attack did bring a great visual effect, and even because the explosion was on the front, my illusion was also Frontal, so that in the eyes of a person who is already afraid of three points, his means of survival are collapsing, and the next wave of lore will definitely come from this direction. "

"So, why wouldn't he leave his back to me?"

"Of course I must admit that this is still a gamble, but my chances of winning are not low."

In the end, Moon also looked at the mayor seriously and emphasized:

"Moreover, he is Patriarch Rodgrens, who will be able to join the high church of cardinals after his term ends, and anyone who sees him must recognize the superior. "

"How can it be so simple and foolproof to kill such a person?"

This time, the mayor really didn't know how to answer.

Yes, how can it be so simple and foolproof to kill such a person?

After a brief hesitation, she could only turn to ask:

"What about the Pope? How are you going to deal with the Pope?"

Moen said truthfully:

"I have prepared a plan and completed the preliminary preparations, but I don't know whether my plan will succeed."

The mayor asked worriedly:

"I don't know what you owe that child, but is it really necessary to do this? You are no longer risking your life."

Moen answered quickly and calmly.

"I'm not just for that child."

The mayor was puzzled by what Moen said:

"Why?"

"To let people know that mortals can also kill the Pope."

"This is a world where true gods walk on earth. Do you want to emphasize the human rights equality of our human union?"

From the mayor's point of view, this guy is definitely not from their human union, but she didn't expect that this guy actually advocated the human rights equality of their human union.

"No. This world is destined to be a pyramid structure, with a strict hierarchy that has no hope of change."

This is the answer that Moen got after four eras and countless identities.

Even he can't change this. This is a pyramid society.

Gods must be higher than humans, and extraordinary people must be higher than ordinary people.

So when he was in the Old World, he asked Quintus how the gods and extraordinary people viewed the slave uprising.

Even Moon knew that even if he succeeded in killing the Pope, the Lionheart would have to step up and clean up everything in the end.

But he still decided to do it.

The mayor was confused. She didn't think the guy in front of her was crazy, so she asked directly:

"Then why are you asking and doing these useless things?"

Moon stood up and said to the mayor seriously:

"Because I want to make the situation of mortals as good as possible. I not only want the extraordinary people to see what mortals can do, but I also want mortals to see what they can do."

"My method may not be replicable, but as long as I do it, it means that they also have hope and possibility to do it. Because I will try my best to do all this at the most reproducible cost."

"Then you are used to silent endurance. They might learn to resist, and they who are used to oppressing the mud will also remember that these muds may kill them. "

"I didn't even think that they could try to challenge the Patriarch and the Pope like me, as long as they could try to kill the priests they could really kill easily. "

"I can't change the nature of this world, but I want to make it better. "

"Maybe it's useless in the end, but what if? What if I didn't do useless work? So since I can do it, and I promised the child, I will do it. "

The mayor stood there in a daze, she knew that the other party was right.

Especially since she came from the People's Union and was a public official, she knew very well. No matter how many meetings they held, how many notices they issued, and how many laws they issued to emphasize that corruption is not allowed, it is far better to let them see a few actual cases of ordinary people being killed directly because of corruption.

It would be even better if it happened nearby.

The appearance of a ruthless person can make an area better for at least a few years or even more than ten years.

But at this time, Moon suddenly changed the subject and asked her a question he had asked before:

"I have told you very sincerely what you want to know. So, should you also answer what you are avoiding?"

The mayor answered subconsciously:

"Dragon!"
