Don't call me evil god

Chapter 705: The Believers

The Crusaders of the royal capital are extremely professional.

Orders are strictly enforced and military discipline is strict.

Most of the legion members were waiting in formation outside. Apart from the noise of armor rubbing and colliding, there was no other noise, as if they were a perfectly cohesive whole.

This is quite difficult.

Even the King's Army finds it difficult to ensure strict discipline due to the uneven quality of the soldiers.

Not to mention the followers of Noven.

So far, they have not organized any truly large-scale collective action. Most people are acting in small groups or teams.

Among the Crusaders who came to search the manor, only a few people who were responsible for the secret handover with Prince Fradin came in front of the crowd, ready to take Rune Mong away.

Coincidentally.

The team leader this time was someone Miranda knew well.

The supervisory priest Henry Genevar who presided over the investigation hearing in Ceylon at that time, who had the same name as Bishop Henry, was also the leader of this operation.

But Henry Geneva now has a new identity.

The badge on his chest and the white and gold priest robe with unique patterns on his body represent his position: Cardinal!

Perhaps because he had accumulated enough merits, Priest Jeneva was successfully promoted from a senior supervisory priest to a member of the College of Cardinals. From then on, he officially entered the power center of the Glowing God Cult.

When he saw Miranda and the others, his expression changed slightly and he seemed a little surprised.

But the next second he calmed down and returned to his expressionless, cold look.

When he received the order, Janiva had no idea who he was going to hand over to.

of course.

He was well aware of the secret that the "target" of the handover was the real Rune Monge.

This was the news Harris Eugene had told him privately.

Janiva knew exactly what he should do.

He walked straight forward and put the gag and hood on Monger one by one, and then covered him with a loose robe.

"I've taken the person away. Thank you for your help. May the light protect you all."

Leaving a cold remark, Janiva signaled to the two confidants he brought with him, who immediately cooperated by picking up Rune Monger horizontally and stuffing him into a coffin-shaped restraint box specially used to control cultists.

Although it is called a restraint box, its actual name is "The Hub of Suppressing Evil". It is actually a container blessed by the Glow Magic. The power of the magic prevents the cultists from praying to the evil gods for strength inside.

When you occasionally capture cultists alive, this thing is basically a necessity.

"boom!"

Close the lid.

The real Rune Monger disappeared from everyone's sight.

In theory, the person imprisoned here will be a cultist discovered in Monger Manor. He will echo the news of the Gilded Club in the outside world to prove that Rune Monger is indeed guilty of colluding with the cultists.

In this way, the substitution of one thing for another is accomplished.

The real Monger was substituted for Master Petunia, who had pretended to be Monger and confessed his crime.

Only a very small number of people knew about this matter.

In addition to the seekers of knowledge who participated in the action, even the Crusaders who participated in the search of the manor were ordered to investigate the evidence of crimes related to the cultists.

Only Henry Geneva and the two confidants he brought with him had the opportunity to see with their own eyes who the so-called "cultists" were.

Finally, when the Crusaders leave Monger Manor, Dolan, who had taken the opportunity to leave earlier, will take the opportunity to record this scene with the photo crystal, and then... give it to the MI6 spies who spread rumors in the royal capital to spread the news!
Although there was no real cultist involved in the whole thing, it was a true crusader to investigate the evil god! …

Rune Monger was arrested.

The cancer hidden in the darkness of the royal capital was finally uncovered, but Prince Fradin was not very happy.

Instead, his mood was low.

After a while, he sighed:
"Ugh……"

He couldn't understand why Rune Monger chose to go along with evil for such a simple reason.

"Live longer? Is that really that important?"

Prince Fradin asked Pete and others in confusion.

Pete was silent too.

To be honest, he couldn't answer Prince Fladin's question.

Death is still a distant topic for him.

Especially after receiving the blessing of the God of Knowledge and having the protection of [Resurrection], ordinary death cannot end their lives at all.

Each new death is just the beginning of the next great adventure.

So they have never really considered the heavy topic of death.

not to mention.

Even if they really die of old age, after living a wonderful and eventful life in the mortal world, they will be qualified to ascend to the kingdom of gods, where they will begin a new adventure with an infinitely complex future.

"Lune Monger, does he truly believe in and receive the blessing of any god?"

Miranda was silent for a while, then suddenly asked.

"...The God of Wealth? Uh... no, that doesn't seem right." Gail subconsciously wanted to answer.

Gail realized the problem immediately after he finished speaking.

People have always believed that Rune Monger was a guy favored by Proust, the god of wealth, who seemed to be able to easily make huge sums of gold coins no matter what he did.

Although the Gilded Club suffered a huge bankruptcy, not only did it not make any money, it also cheated everyone out of their money.

But before this scam was born, the other party was actually the richest man!

But Rune Monger never said that he had been blessed by the God of Wealth. He even once joked about himself in public, saying that if the God of Wealth really protected him, perhaps he would not have to work so hard to make his fortune from scratch by selling fruit juice.

Moreover, whether the God of Wealth will really bless mortals remains an unsolved mystery.

I have never heard of any magical power that can make people rich overnight, or gold coins falling from the sky or treasure chests being picked up while walking.

Not to mention the God of Light and other righteous gods.

As long as you can successfully obtain the blessing of a certain god, the corresponding church will be happy to accept and take care of you. Even if you were originally a refugee who could not even get enough food to eat, you can immediately obtain assistance from the church and never have to worry about food and clothing from then on.

What's more, with Rune Monger's identity, if he could really get the protection of God, the church of that God would definitely use his name to publicize it and attract more believers.

However, this has never been the case.

It seems that since Monger came to prominence, he has been a staunch nonbeliever.

No god was willing to bless him.
