Chapter 222 The Church and the Mermaid

"Finally gone."

Port, watching the fleet belonging to the palace guard leave.

Dressed in gentleman's clothing, the brown-haired young man named Lund Charles had an unusually relaxed expression on his face.

After all, he is the master of alchemy trusted by the king. If he really finds out about their factory, it will inevitably have negative consequences.

"Father, we have been suspended for several days, and many orders have not been completed."

"Are you looking at the factory?"

Lund asked. The brown-haired middle-aged man in a silk robe looked away from the sea and nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead and try to finish it as soon as possible."

"yes."

Lund nodded, but soon saw Duke Charles speak again.

"How is the investigation into Tule's case?"

"The investigation has already begun, Father." Lund replied respectfully: "There were more than thirty fleets docked at the port during that time, but because Master Adler was also there, I didn't send too many ships these days. Many people go out.”

"I'll order more manpower soon."

"Well, hurry up."

With a slight nod, Duke Charles turned around and walked towards the carriage.

A cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

He was curious about who dared to go against their Charles family.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

The carriage continued to move forward on the smooth road, and the sound of horse hooves sounded melodiously.

This is an open carriage, with open-air seats for only two or three people.

"My lord, are you also the captain?"

On the way, Trin asked curiously while driving the carriage.

"no."

Chen Feng shook his head and the other party said oh.

The two of them were silent. Chen Feng glanced at both sides of the street.

There are ragged homeless people kneeling on the roadside begging. Occasionally, horse manure can be seen on the roadside that has not been swept away.

During this period, a coughing sound reached his ears, and Chen Feng couldn't help but look at the factory in the distance.

The black chimney towered into the sky. He thought for a moment and asked.

"Is this Sac factory shut down?"

"Yes, my lord."

"The shutdown last Monday seemed to be due to some problems with the production equipment."

Trin quickly explained that Chen Feng knew that more than ten days had passed in this world.

"Many people are complaining. After all, if the factory is shut down, there will be no income."

"Our family has also been affected because with the shutdown, workers will no longer soil their clothes."

Trin subconsciously talked about his family affairs, and Chen Feng learned that he had a mother and a sister.

My father was disabled due to a fall in his early years and was bedridden.

In order to take care of the latter, my mother usually helps others wash clothes at home.

Chen Feng was silent. No wonder the other party came out to make a living and make money at such a young age.

"Here we are, my lord!"

Terin suddenly shouted, and the row houses in the Garden District came into view.

A curious passer-by noticed that Lei Long happened to be in the garden of the townhouse, saw him at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Fengchen!"

He was wearing a thick gray sweater and his beard was rarely kept very clean. He seemed to be at home with his daughter Andy.

Chen Feng nodded, got off the carriage, and then looked at Trin next to him.

"Sir, I don't want money!"

Trin realized what he meant, and after saying hello to Lei Long with admiration, he quickly turned around and climbed onto the carriage, trying to leave with a whip.

"You kid, why are you running?"

Lei Long pretended to be dissatisfied and stepped forward to grab him.

At the same time, he stuffed more than a dozen copper coins and a hidden silver coin into the other party's patched clothes pocket.

"Lord Leilong, I..." Trin said with a red face, trying to break away and take out the coins in his pocket.

But before he could react, Lei Long suddenly slapped the black horse on the butt, scaring it away.

"Hahaha, boy Trin, you look so embarrassed driving the carriage!"

Loud laughter echoed, and some passers-by who were attracted to the scene mostly smiled and didn't pay much attention.

Chen Feng saw Lei Long's intention.

A dozen copper coins are okay, but one silver coin is enough for a family of three here to live normally for a month.

The other party obviously didn't want others to see him and did irrational things out of jealousy.

"Haha, sir, I went to check on this kid Trin before."

"It's not easy, don't laugh at me."

Lei Long explained, and Chen Feng nodded, naturally not saying much.

Then, the two walked into the iron gate and came to the garden downstairs of the townhouse.

The flowers inside are well taken care of, and there is obviously a cluster of small white flowers.

"uncle."

Little Andy, who had slightly curly hair, was curled up and taking a nap on the recliner covered with a blanket, but now he woke up.

"uncle!"

The uncertain shouts became a little brighter, she lifted the blanket and trotted over amid the maid's exclamations.

"Anti."

Chen Feng smiled and rubbed the other person's head.

"Uncle, those little flowers are smiling. They seem to know that you like them very much."

Little Andy smiled and pointed at the cluster of white flowers, which were swaying in the breeze.

With the simplicity of a child, Chen Feng smiled and nodded.

Then, amid the children's laughter, he and Lei Long walked into the house and came to the study.

The coffee was brought by the maid and the door was closed.

Lei Long asked curiously: "Sir, how long do you plan to stay in Banli Port this time?"

After leaving without saying goodbye twice in a row, he mistakenly thought that Chen Feng was exploring nearby or busy with other important matters.

"Six or seven days."

Chen Feng said casually and took a sip of coffee.

It was a bit bitter and not to his liking.

"I came to you this time mainly to know how the mermaid matter is going?"

After putting down the coffee, Lei Long saw him frown slightly.

"There is already a clue, sir. I heard that a mermaid was seen at the port and escaped from the fleet."

"Because I thought it was a mistake, I didn't say anything."

"Later I found out that the fleet he saw should be the one we met in Fishman Bay."

Lei Long was a little worried. He suspected that there was a big man in Benly Port behind the fleet.

Duke Charles, Earl Sorodo, and several other nobles and factory owners.

Chen Feng nodded, knowing that these things were not so easy to investigate.

He had to wait patiently. He then asked about the church in this world, especially the God of Storms.

The gifted light group of Fallen Eagle Island is related to the storm, and so are the rumors there. He had to think more.

"The nine righteous gods joined forces to seal the evil god, and then fell into a deep sleep."

"The Storm Church and the Frost Church both have branches in Banli Port, each with a bishop and more than ten believers."

Lei Long explained, and said that he was actually a believer of the Storm God.

Chen Feng became interested.

After a round of conversation, he roughly knew the reason.

It is said that the sequence power of this world was first passed down by the gods, allowing the church to spread extraordinary knowledge.

The gods love the world and are also the creators of each sequence.

So in general, every sequencer is a believer of the corresponding sequence god.

It's just that some people have a very deep faith, while others have a weaker faith.

As for whether to join the church, it is entirely up to personal willingness, and not everyone can join it.

Chen Feng was thoughtful after hearing this, and even had a bit of absurd thoughts.

Could the god here be one of the evil gods?

If you get close to its believers, can you get the corresponding power of the evil god?

No one could give an answer. After learning from Lei Long, Chen Feng planned to take some time to go around the Storm Church.

Five days later.

Chen Feng left the Storm Church and the Frost Church successively.

After a few attempts, he did not get the so-called power of God.

He suspected that this thing could only be obtained from the so-called evil god of the abyss, and the storm god and other gods were obviously not included.

Chen Feng shook his head and took a step to leave.

Looking left and right, it can be seen that the gate of the Frost Church is quite magnificent, white and gray, with complex carvings, like frost, obviously made of some precious stone.

There are two statues of armored knights standing on the left and right outside the gate, two meters in size.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

It seems that there is some kind of power hidden in it, and ordinary people dare not look at it.

Chen Feng felt a sense of shock for a moment, without malice, but like a warning to evil people.

"The God of Frost will bless us."

"May the disease stay away."

"God, please bless us!"

Intermittent low prayers sounded, and looking along, many people could be seen kneeling in the gray stone brick square.

People were coming and going at the door of the church. The gods of this world really exist, and there are many believers.

"The recent infectious diseases are indeed getting worse."

Lei Long said, and Chen Feng looked up at the black chimney in the distance.

The gray smoke began to be emitted again at some point, and the sky, which had finally turned a little blue, turned gray again.

"Do you think the church will bless them?" Chen Feng asked.

"It should be. Right?"

Lei Long said uncertainly, or he didn't believe it, but because of the majesty of the gods, he didn't dare to deny it.

Chen Feng didn't refute, but stepped out of the exquisite gate of the Frost Church.

A carriage was parked here, and Terlin, wearing mended clothes, stood beside it.

He went home and found the silver coin, and then came to find Lei Long again, gritting his teeth and stubbornly refusing to accept it.

In the end, in order to take care of him.

In addition, he often went out to sea, so there was no groom at home.

Lei Long not only used the silver coin as a reward, but also added a sum of money to hire him to come to the garden area twice more in the past few days.

"My Lord!"

Seeing them appear from a distance, Terlin hurriedly took the stool off the carriage.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

Lei Long rubbed his head. He had heard that he also had the dream of going out to sea.

"As long as you wait for your Lord, it doesn't matter how long it takes!"

Terlin said firmly, and Lei Long smiled with satisfaction.

The two then got on the carriage and gradually left the church.

"My Lord Feng Chen, are we still going around the city?" Terlin asked. Although he was puzzled as to why this Lord always wanted to take a ride in the city these days, he still didn't ask more questions.

It is inevitable that a high-ranking Lord has special hobbies. This is the truth his cousin told him.

"Well, just change the route."

Chen Feng nodded, and Lei Long asked about Terlin's family situation.

"Very good, Lord Lei Long."

"The factory has finally started production again, and workers have come to wash clothes."

"Mother is very happy, and I want to help more when I go back in the evening."

Terlin said with a smile, his face full of expectations for life.

As long as he saves enough money, his mother can be a little more relaxed, and his sister can eat better bread.

Perhaps aware of something, Lei Long, with thick eyebrows and broad face, looked fluctuating, as if he saw his former self in him.

He didn't say anything, and finally looked around the street.

In fact, he was also very curious about why Lord Feng Chen was killing time like this, but he didn't dare to ask.

Although Chen Feng looked calm in this regard, in fact, his perception had already been magnified to its limit, covering everything around him.

According to Leilong's clues, there are probably mermaids in Benli Port.

In this case, he doesn't mind being a humanoid radar to see if he can gain something.

We were speechless all the way until the end, when we were about to circle back to the garden area.

Chen Feng looked at a magnificent single-family villa.

There is a large garden inside the iron fence with red brick walls.

There were many servants looming inside, so he asked curiously.

"Where is this?"

"The residence of the Bishop of the Frost Church."

Lei Long replied and Chen Feng frowned.

When he was in the Church of Storm and Frost, he did not see the bishop of the latter.

"Doesn't he live in the church?"

"I don't know. I heard that this was a house given to him by others."

Chen Feng was thoughtful when he heard the words, just glanced at it again, and then followed the carriage to leave the place.

At the same moment, inside the villa.

The weeping mermaid had her hands tied and fell to the ground.

The blue-green fish tail scales had a lot of damage, and many whip marks could be seen on the body that was not covered by shells.

"Crack!!"

The whip was whipped, and the mermaid gritted her teeth.

Not daring to hide, he took a look and saw that she was protecting a younger mermaid.

Snap!

Snap! !

Snap! ! !

The sound of whipping continued, and the man holding the whip was wearing a papal robe and had a middle-aged face, full of excitement.

"Scream!"

"Call me out!!"

He shouted, his eyes full of excitement, as if he was getting some satisfaction from this.

The mermaid refused, and still stubbornly protected the young mermaid who kept crying under her body, allowing the skin to be torn and the blood to flow out.

Until the end, the other party stepped forward and stepped on his head, rubbing it against the ground.

Such a scene was seen by the gray cloaked figure sneaking out of the window. The other person's eyes were filled with shock and anger.

The dignified Bishop of Frost Church actually had such a perverted scene in private.

Tortured mermaid, hysterical.

Are these really the bishops and believers chosen by the God of Frost?

Anger flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to take action, but she had to regain her senses.

Frost Bishop is a fourth-level powerhouse, stronger than himself, that's one thing.

In addition, the other party has a close relationship with the Charles family. If he is exposed at this moment, he will be easily suspected and discovered by the Charles family.

The factory incident had just been investigated here. If the clues were lost, everything she had done before would be in vain.

"Scream!!"

Suddenly, the excited shouting in the room continued.

The fat bishop wearing a papal robe waved his whip and cursed, adding scars to the mermaid's body, and blood dripping everywhere.

Until the end, he was grabbed by the throat and lifted off the ground violently. His bloodshot and excited eyes were fixed on him, and he shouted threats.

"Scream!!!"

"Scream for me quickly! Scream to break your throat!!"

He said with expectation, as if this was the only way to get the greatest satisfaction.

The woman in the gray cloak outside gritted her teeth and was extremely angry.

Reason and sensibility confront each other at both ends of the scale, and hesitation blooms like waves in the bottom of my heart.

"Scream!"

"Let me see if someone will come to save me if I break my throat."

Bang! ! !

The golden figure rushed in like a chariot, crushing everything!
