Madmen don't keep diaries

Chapter 202 201 Husband and wife are united
Duke Okuda did as he was told.

As the box opened, an exquisite and luxurious scimitar appeared before the Duke of Daguo.

He immediately laughed and said, "Nice knife!"

But when he picked up the knife and unsheathed the handle, the smile froze on his face.

Vadracho moistened his lips with the cup and said calmly, "Everything you have now was given by the church. How dare you think of using the church's things to compensate the church?"

Konate Chen and Toverson Zhao didn't dare to say a word, while the Duke's wife turned her gaze to the Duke of Da.

The Duke sat stiffly on the sofa. After a while, his shoulders slumped slightly and he asked in a deep voice, "Elder, please make it clear. As long as it is something that I can offer, I will do my best to satisfy you."

This attitude satisfied Vadlajo.

He nodded slowly. "I want you to promote the teachings among the nobles and encourage officials to convert. Using Sails City as an anchor, radiate outward to the surrounding coastal towns. Priests and officials will work together to absorb the local faith."

The Duke's eyelids jumped when he heard this. "Officials joining the religion? This will not only anger the temple, but also provoke the President's tiger whiskers."

The Duke's wife's eyes flickered slightly, but Konate Chen was the first to become anxious: "Elder, shouldn't our top priority be the port area? The outcome of the war is not yet determined. I'm afraid it will be counterproductive if we rush to attack the nobles now."

Vadracho looked up at him and smiled softly: "I almost forgot about you."

"Bishop Konate, since you care so much about the port area, I'll leave it to you."

"Thankfully, my poor student cleared the way for you before his death. Now that you've taken over the Holy Temple, I'm sure you'll be able to quickly launch missionary work in the port area. I look forward to your performance."

Konate Chen's face froze: "This... yes, I understand."

Vadracho turned back to the Duke of Great Powers. "You too, please don't let me down. I hope to see the Great Hall filled with nobles and officials on Friday afternoon before I return to the capital at the end of my shift."

After saying this, Vadracho did not give the great power a chance to refuse, and simply stood up and left.

Toverson Zhao followed closely behind, and Konate Chen subconsciously glanced at the Duke's wife again, then immediately realized that he shouldn't have done such a thing, so he immediately retracted his gaze and followed Toverson Zhao out.

Hiding in the shadow of the Duke's wife, Feng Xiuhu exclaimed that this show was wonderful.

First, the Grand Duchess took the initiative to invite the temple into the play to prevent Vadracho from making trouble in a hurry.

Then Vadracho realized that the dead could not be resurrected, so he might as well use this opportunity to seek more.

In front of the temple, it was not convenient for Vadracho to turn against the Duke, so he used the word "misunderstanding" to indicate that Feng Xiuhu's death was over. He first stabilized the Duke and then took the opportunity to force the temple away.

After leaving the temple, Vadracho changed his attitude, gave the Duke a good beating, and finally told him his plan.

But what grounds does Vadracchio have for insisting on officials converting to Christianity?
Feng Xiuhu didn't understand this.

It is true that many officials in the government office are the Duke's men, but that is a secret matter, and Vadracho's move is clearly open. How dare he do that?

Not to mention far away, there is the Water Control Bureau in Fancheng. Vadraqiao blatantly asked for his hand in the government office. Isn't he afraid that the Water Control Bureau will bombard him with divine power?

Only the Duke and his wife were left in the room.

The Duke's wife came over and sat down next to the Duke. "My Lord, the conversion of officials to the Church is a serious matter. We must proceed slowly and carefully in winning over the officials. How can the Church be so reckless? I think Vadracho has lost his mind. You must not allow him to do what he wants."

"I know it well."

The Duke shook his head irritably. He took the Duke's wife's wrist and gently patted the back of her hand. "Madam, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth. Was the death of Crazy Tiger really such a coincidence?"

The Duke's wife glanced outside the door and lowered her voice, "I was just about to explain this to you, my Lord. This is a very serious matter, so I didn't dare to speak before." The Duke couldn't help but frown. "Madam, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he stood up and went outside, and ordered the guards at the door: "Don't let anyone in."

The guard agreed, and the Duke closed the door again. He walked to the clock on the wall, opened the glass door, and manually moved the minute hand forward ten minutes.

Click——

The second hand started moving again, and Feng Xiuhu seemed to hear a momentary noisy whisper, and then the sound quickly faded away and disappeared.

The Duke sat back down and explained to the equally stunned Duke's wife, "This is a magical artifact from the Church of the Heart. From now on, for the next ten minutes, no one outside this room will know what we are talking about."

The Duke's wife seemed relieved. She asked tentatively, "Then I will tell you."

The Duke nodded and said, "Speak freely."

The Duke's wife swallowed her saliva and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the mad tiger didn't fall because of a slip, but was pushed down by Konate Chen."

"It's true that the Crazy Bug came forward to tease him, and it's also true that Konate Chen tried to stop him, but Konate Chen had his back to me at the time, so I can't say I saw it clearly. But the Crazy Bug was still several steps away from the edge of the cliff when it suddenly lost its balance and retreated continuously. If no one else had deliberately used force, it wouldn't have been in such a mess."

"I don't know if Crazy Big Bug and Konate Chen have any entanglements or hatred, but this is an internal matter of the church after all. Besides, there is no evidence, so how dare I say anything? I can only follow Konate Chen's words."

Feng Xiuhu was stunned.

This woman first played cozy with Konate Chen, then turned around and sold him out—what an acting talent! What a series of tricks!

The Duke frowned in thought. "You may not know, but there is indeed a feud between Konate Chen and Crazy Big Worm. I heard they once battled in the factory district's sanctuary, with many witnesses. I don't know the specific reason, however."

"But you're right about this. It's not appropriate for us to interfere in the church's internal affairs. I'll find an opportunity and then tip off Elder Vadra. Let's see what he has to say."

The Duke's wife said softly, "It's all up to you, Master."

The Duke of Daguo patted the Duke's wife's shoulder and said, "Your wife was frightened today and cannot entertain guests. I will take care of the banquet hall. Your wife should take good rest."

"Master..."

The Duke's wife leaned against the Duke's chest, looking at him with tears in her eyes: "It's all my fault. Otherwise, why would you put the Duke in such a dilemma?"

The Duke of Daguo comforted him softly, "No need to say more, as long as Madam is fine."

In the banquet hall, the host did not show up for a long time, which was obviously impolite, so the Duke left first.

As the door closed, the Duke's wife wiped her tears, stood up and looked at the clock for a moment. She did not touch it randomly, but turned around and looked around the room.

After observing carefully for a long time, the Duke's wife whispered to herself, "How many magical instruments have you hidden... We're husband and wife, yet you're hiding this from me."

After tidying up her appearance, the Duke's wife pushed the door open and left.

The two maids guarding the door immediately followed.

Feng Xiuhu, who was hiding in the shadows, quickly covered his eyes.

This angle is inappropriate.
