Quadruple split.

Chapter 2341 Enrollment

"Oh?"

Mo Tan raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked the astrologer in front of him, "What did you say?"

"I said--"

Jenny Beryl took a sip of the cigarette in her hand and repeated in a tone as if she were talking about the weather: "I apply for the maximum punishment second only to execution for myself."

"This……"

Philip frowned, and seemed to think that this proposal was very inappropriate, but he did not say anything. He just cast his gaze at Mo Tan, trying to read something from the latter's calm eyes.

It's a pity that even though Mo Tan was just described by Jenny as 'not very cunning', when he clearly did not want to be seen through on a subjective level, even Her Highness Fiyali, who Xia Lian called the leader of the younger generation of the Wealth Sect, would not be able to read anything meaningful from him.

“This is not right!”

Raymond, who knew what "the maximum punishment second only to death" meant and had recently witnessed this astrologer girl changing the course of the battle several times with a simple statement, stood up subconsciously and opened his mouth anxiously to say something, but Xia Liya, who was sitting next to him, pulled his arm hard and he sat back in the chair in pain.

'Mind your own business.'

After conveying the above warning to Raymond with her eyes, Xia Liya leaned back in her chair, lowered her right eye and said nothing.

"Tsk, tsk, young people nowadays."

Romeo, who looked to be middle-aged and older than Raymond, Philip and others, shrugged his shoulders and uttered an exclamation whose meaning, position and inclination were unclear, and then there was no further comment.

"..."

The female knight standing behind Mo Tan did not express her opinion. In fact, she was the only one in the room who knew that even if Jenny's proposal at this moment was indeed surprising, the possibility of hiding it from someone's eyes would probably be compressed to a negligible level.

Therefore, she just had to follow the oath she had just made in her heart and believe in and support all the decisions made by her predecessors.

As for Mino, who forced Raymond to bring him here but was still in a daze, he fell asleep quietly under Philip's magic. After all, respecting his wishes was one thing, and ensuring that he could hold on until the situation stabilized was another.

"I see."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, and asked in the same calm and casual tone as Jenny: "What's the reason?"

"reason?"

Jenny raised her lips slightly, blew out a round smoke ring, and said leisurely: "To put it mildly, it is a willful act and deceiving the subordinates and the superiors; to put it seriously, it is a naked betrayal of the supreme leader in a military fortress."

Mo Tan smiled and agreed, "From the perspective you raised, the problem is indeed quite serious."

"It's more than serious. After all, this city of Dunbuya is more like an 'army' than a normal 'parish'. It is an important town in the north of the Holy Land. And as you mentioned before, in the absence of conflict, even faith must give way to 'orders' in wartime, because of some weird sayings like 'no rules, no order' that sound very reasonable."

Jenny stared at Mo Tan without blinking, and said in a brisk tone, "As the absolute authority here, you cannot tolerate the situation that was clearly equivalent to 'deception'. And as the instigator and instigator of this deception, I must pay a price that is enough to convince everyone no matter what."

Mo Tan continued to nod, and the smile on his lips gradually faded: "Then, I am very curious about what you mean by 'convincing the masses'. Which 'masses' do you mean? Do you want me to make public the fact that I was not aware of the previous encounter, and become a laughing stock among the soldiers?"

"Of course this cannot happen."

Jenny shook her head and said without hesitation, "Personally, I think that the people in this room are enough to know the truth. If they were not all outstanding, and one of them was a God-favored One who would have a huge impact if something happened to him, I would even suggest that you kill them secretly."

"Hahahaha~"

Romeo clapped his hands vigorously upon hearing this, and exclaimed in great joy, "Brilliant, Miss Jenny, what you said is simply brilliant."

Raymond shook his head with an unpleasant expression and said dryly: "I don't think this joke is funny at all..."

"In fact, this isn't really a joke."

Xia Liya next to her pushed her non-existent glasses, and after realizing this belatedly, she let out a bitter laugh and said helplessly, "To be honest, putting aside my personal stance, I actually agree with Jenny's idea. After all, this matter is really not very glorious. Except for Sister Yizou, who can be sure that she has no second thoughts about Lord Heifan, all of us should die."

Philip also smiled bitterly, and said with a complicated expression and delicate tone: "Putting aside my personal stance, I don't think I can afford to die."

"So, since there are those who can't afford to die, those who are useless even if they die, and your guardian knight..."

Jenny glanced at Phillip, Luo Ou, and Yi Zou, and shrugged, "I can't ask you to treat them differently and kill Xia Liya and the other three locals, right? Not only will the effect be reduced to almost nothing, but the subsequent troubles will be countless."

So Mo Tan leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands in front of his nose, and said softly: "So let's stop joking here, Jenny, you can tell me your purpose directly."

"My purpose is very simple. Since the rules were broken by me, I will make them come true."

Jenny frowned slightly, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes: "As for this proposal, although it is a bit hypocritical in this situation, if your brain is not broken, you should remember that I originally planned to tell you alone before they came. In other words, you only needed to wait until everyone was gathered and then directly announce the result of the treatment of me!"

Mo Tan looked at the astrologer in front of him, who was showing a rare expression of displeasure and was almost pinching the cigarette between his fingers to the point of deforming it, and said in sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

"You'd better really regret it!"

Jenny took a deep breath, then gave Mo Tan a look that only the latter could see, and said in a deep voice: "But it doesn't matter. After all, I already knew that even if I didn't tell you, you would punish me to the maximum extent, so just regard it as me asking for forgiveness on my own initiative this time."

"Please take the initiative to ask for forgiveness..."

After seemingly meekly cooperating with the steps Jenny handed over, Mo Tan touched his chin, and then turned to Xia Liya after a brief pause: "Speaking of which, whether before or now, anyone in our Dunbuya City organization who has committed an act of 'betrayal', is it possible that they will be given a lighter sentence and not have to die after they voluntarily plead guilty?"

Xia Liya: "Huh?!"

"I remember that your injury was to your eye, not your ear, Lieutenant Xia Liya, so I won't repeat the question just now."

Mo Tan looked at Xia Liya calmly, who looked a little flustered, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Now, answer my question."

"No."

Xia Liya shook her head and said seriously: "No matter what kind of betrayal it is, this behavior cannot be excused by any reason. Of course, rules are rules. Those airborne commanders who never followed the rules in the past..."

“Don’t say unnecessary words.” Mo Tan casually interrupted Xia Liya’s reminder and turned to look at Jenny, whose expression was a little stiff: “So, what do you think?”

“I haven’t lived enough.”

Jenny Beryl gave a decisive answer.

“It’s hard for people to live long enough.”

Mo Tan shrugged and said leisurely: "But everyone will die one day."

Jenny widened her eyes and looked at Mo Tan in disbelief: "Wait, you kid, are you thinking... Hey! That old scumbag Tifilo sent me to you, not to be killed by you!"

"Scared?"

Mo Tan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm almost scared to death."

Jenny sighed and leaned back in her chair with a long sigh.

"Then we're even."

The smile on Mo Tan's lips became more and more intense. Then, he stood up and bowed to Jenny Belial in front of everyone's astonished gaze, including Jenny Belial herself. "Now, as a devout believer of the Goddess of Dawn and the head of Dunbuya City in the northern border of the Holy Land, on behalf of the Holy Church Union, I would like to express my greatest gratitude and respect to you."

Philip, the Son of Fertility, suddenly widened his eyes.

Yizou raised the corner of her mouth slightly as she looked at Mo Tan's back.

Xia Liya, with a look of realization on her face, breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Ou looked at Mo Tan with admiration, folded his arms and nodded slightly.

The astrologer, who had just admitted that he was almost scared to death, froze in his place for the first time, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. It was not until nearly half a minute later that he uttered a puzzled "Huh?!"

"As far as I know, Ms. Beryl, the decision you made at the critical moment was to minimize the future losses and hidden dangers of our army. In other words, you saved us from one or more bad futures and allowed us to avoid many difficulties and obstacles that were difficult to infer with normal logic and judge from a normal perspective."

Mo Tan still maintained a decent smile and said in a calm tone: "So, I have no reason not to thank you, the only disciple of the great astrologer Damus Remidep. Although you are willing to condescend to be my personal mystic consultant, you could have just sat back and watched everything, but you were still willing to make bold suggestions for the future of our army. This is enough to win the trust and friendship between me and this city."

Jenny, who was severely overdrawn in the previous battle and could no longer observe normally for a short period of time, blinked: "Uh..."

"In addition to thanking you, I have another request."

Mo Tan walked slowly to Jenny, lowered his eyes to look at her pretty face with heavy makeup and a slightly confused look, and said word by word: "Please also serve as my personal mystic consultant and officially join our Dumbuya City's garrison as 'Chief Astrologer'. I believe that once the news that the apprentice of the great astrologer Danmas Remidep has joined our army spreads, it will definitely boost everyone's morale and even affect Skork and the City of Light's evaluation of us."

At this point, Jenny, who had finally come to her senses and realized what the other party was planning, had no idea what to say. She could only sit in the chair blankly, looking up at Mo Tan with a warm smile.

At this moment, a not-so-strong but extremely clear feeling of "powerlessness" suddenly arose from the bottom of her heart. However, it was not the feeling of powerlessness that she felt she could not defy when facing fate, but a kind of helplessness similar to "I really lost to you".

For the umpteenth time since becoming an apprentice to a great astrologer, Jenny Beryl once again misjudged the future. But this time, she was not sad, annoyed, or desperate. Instead, she closed her eyes and smiled bitterly at the unknown future in front of her: "Do I have the right to refuse?"

"Have."

The unknown future nodded and added: "But I will let Yizou break your legs."

"are you crazy?"

The astrologer's eyebrows were raised.

“This is true.”

The unknowable future continues to give affirmative answers.

"you are vicious."

Jenny rolled her eyes, then stood up and took off the nonexistent hat on her head. She performed a hasty hat-dodging salute to Mo Tan with an expressionless face, and said in a dry voice: "Jenny Belial, from now on, I accept the commission of Pastor Hei Fan and am willing to serve as his [Chief Astrologer]."

"Thank you, Jenny."

Mo Tan nodded contentedly, walked back to the table and sat down, and at the same time he did not forget to greet the astrologer who was still standing there with gritted teeth: "Sit down and talk, sit down and talk."

"Humph."

The latter curled his lips, sat down again and said unhappily: "So now I am officially in the 'weaving', right? If I do the things I did before, there will be no excuses anymore, right?"

"Is such that."

"whispering sound……"

"Well, to make sure you don't get executed for saying something as horrible as 'betrayal', causing me to lose my own occult advisor and chief astrologer."

"You're going to build a cage to lock me in?"

"From now on, [Chief Astrologer] Jenny Belier will be given the highest authority except for myself, and the authority to modify, reject or violate my orders and intentions when I cannot be contacted. At the same time, considering the special nature of her profession, the Chief Astrologer can make all seemingly unreasonable orders and dispatches without restriction. When her orders or dispatches conflict with mine, please give priority to ensuring that the Chief Astrologer's will is implemented most thoroughly. The above orders will be notified to all the garrisons in Dumbuya City."

"..."

"Anything else you would like to add, Madam Chief Astrologer?"

"No...no more."
