A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Although he was wearing an eye patch covering his right eye.

But in Thomas's mental field, he could clearly feel the other person's eyes moving.

In other words, the covered eye can still move? Can it still see?

"I wonder what instructions you have for us that you have suddenly summoned us here?" The person who spoke was none other than the fox wolf.

Section 214 Special Envoy 3

"The Wolf Lord sent me here to investigate the accidental deaths of four consecutive wolf alphas," Thomas replied. "You can call me Shadow Wolf. For the time being, I will be taking over as the local alpha wolf. You must cooperate with my investigation."

"Lord Shadow Wolf, those were all accidents." The fox wolf smiled charmingly. "The consecutive deaths of Lord Wolf are indeed regrettable, but accidents are unavoidable. You must understand that there are many who are hostile to the Wolf Den, so most of the time, we hide our identities. But this also emboldens others... In fact, the murderers I intend to kill don't even know who they killed."

"Oh? Was it an accident?" Thomas asked back.

"That's obvious," the Fox Wolf said. "If someone were targeting the Wolf's Den itself... that would mean our industry would be hit hard. But that hasn't happened."

"Industry? Tell me, what other industries are there in this local wolf den?"

The fox wolf began to give a detailed introduction to the industries controlled by the wolf's den.

A place of entertainment - this place is ruled by a fox wolf.

It seems that brothels are very popular with the Wolf's Den... This is probably no coincidence. Because this business is profitable, can gather information, and can also make friends with the powerful.

A small shipping terminal - privately owned by the Grand Duke - and a small caravan.

This is the one-eyed wolf's territory.

There are also shady businesses such as smuggling, stolen goods handling, and protection rackets, which are controlled by Baolang.

Although Baolang is not the king of the underground world, he can be regarded as a vassal lord.

Finally, there is a medium-sized chamber of commerce controlled by Iron Wolf, which mainly exports furs.

In addition, the leader wolf is responsible for the sale of medicinal materials.

Of course, the previous leader was dead, so the business was temporarily managed by the evil wolves. However, they were also very open about this and had no intention of taking any of the profits for themselves.

Obviously this is a vacancy reserved for the alpha wolf.

In addition, there are also intelligence and assassination activities that everyone has a hand in. This is considered a collective stake.

Overall, it is roughly the same level as the Wolf's Lair in Kyiv.

The average annual income per person is slightly higher than that in the Wolf's Lair in Kyiv.

After deducting a few percentage points, the alpha wolf gets 5,000 to 6,000 florins a year. That's a lot of money!

Many great nobles may not be able to get so much money.

This is due to the intelligence advantage brought by the Wolf's Nest's bird messaging service and the Wolf's Nest members' own strong military power, which gives them a huge advantage in both black and white business.

Can generate good returns.

Although it is slightly better than expected, it is generally within a reasonable range.

"I understand." Thomas looked at the four people carefully. "However, since the Wolf Lord asked me to come, I still need to investigate carefully. There is one more thing I need to know from you."

"Please speak, sir." The four bowed their heads in respect.

"Does the Wolf's Den interfere in the slave trade?"

The four of them didn't answer, but just exchanged glances with each other.

"Special Envoy, does forcing women of good character into prostitution count?" asked the fox wolf.

"Calculate!"

"Then I did have some involvement..." The fox wolf laughed. "I don't deny that."

"I don't care what Novgorod was like in the past," Thomas said. "But I'm here, and this better not happen!"

Kiev didn't need him to say this, because Silver Wolf ran a "high-end club." It focused on exotic scenery, high-end goods from far-flung places like France, Persia, Ireland, and Khitan. Naturally, there was no such thing as forced prostitution.

Even if she was a decent woman at first, she would have become a prostitute before coming here.

"As you wish." The fox wolf replied lazily.

Thomas nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand to let the few people leave.

Only after everyone had left did Thomas leave the wolf's den and stand there.

The Blasphemous Knight had arrived beside him without him noticing.

Everything was peaceful just now and there was no conflict, so there was naturally no need for the national defender to appear.

“Did they come together?” Thomas asked.

"Yes, we came together in a carriage," the Blasphemous Knight said. "A luxurious carriage...why?"

"This is worse than I expected." Thomas sighed.

Although the wolves of Kiev are allied, it is actually a loose alliance.

To put it bluntly, it's all about money. No one wants to share the profits with the new leader who came out of nowhere.

But the wolves of Novgorod...

I'm afraid it's no longer as simple as forming an alliance to deal with the Wolf Leader (or the special envoy). They have become a system unto themselves.

The leader was the fox-wolf, and she seemed to have the authority to command others.

This is a situation where no one can get in. It will be difficult for the new leader to take power.

The fox wolf even left a vacancy and a considerable profit to paralyze the leader wolf.

If the leader of the pack has little knowledge or ambition, there is a high possibility that he will be bribed and paralyzed, and he won't even know that he has been sidelined.

All I can say is... I want to open a gap among the wolves in a short period of time, but I'm afraid it's impossible.

We have to think of other channels.

On the other side, the luxurious carriage drove all the way and finally stopped by the Volkhov River.

The driver got off the carriage and went somewhere else, leaving only four people in the carriage.

"What do you think of this new envoy?" Fox Wolf asked the other three people while playing with an agate carving.

"What else?" Iron Wolf scoffed. "A bit silly, a bit naive. Especially his last request..."

"Yes, in brothels, where would the good stuff come from if they didn't force women of good character into prostitution? Relying solely on those self-degrading low-class women wouldn't be able to hold back those bigwigs who love novelty. By the way, you should have heard it, right? This envoy sounds very young. Either he's born with a baby voice, or... I bet he's no older than twenty-five!"

"That makes sense. Young people, having just reached a high position, think they can do whatever they want. They've simply never encountered setbacks. Once they're in trouble, they'll realize how cruel reality can be."

The three of them spoke up.

"So...what do you think? What should we do? Just deal with it casually?" asked the fox wolf.

"Deal with him? He has no one under his command, and we're the only ones providing him with intelligence. Even if we did something, how would he know?" Iron Wolf said. "However, since he's a special envoy, he should be very powerful. And just because he met with us alone doesn't mean he's alone. One-Eyed Wolf, what did you see?"

"He's very powerful!" laughed the one-eyed wolf. "He's carrying at least three magical items! His combat power is far superior to that of an ordinary alpha wolf."

"Do you really think that strength means everything? What a joke. A child who hasn't even grown all his hair is easy to deal with." Baolang said disdainfully.

"Since the Wolf Lord sent him here," Iron Wolf considered for a moment. "That proves he has great confidence in his abilities. We shouldn't resort to the old methods unless absolutely necessary."

"But if he persists and refuses to leave... coupled with a few trusted henchmen, I'm afraid he'll actually find out something if time passes," said the one-eyed wolf. "It's best to get rid of him as soon as possible."

Section 215 Special Envoy 4

"You said three magic items?" The fox wolf asked another question. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, aren't you surprised?" The one-eyed wolf laughed. "So if we want to do the same as last time, I'm afraid it won't work. He must be an elite soldier himself, so if a real fight breaks out, he can take on four or five elite soldiers by himself."

The magical items of this era are not something that ordinary people can possess.

A magical item, even if given to a person of the emperor or the pope's level, is a very high-class gift.

In combat, a magic item is equivalent to an extraordinary ability.

In other words, this special envoy named Shadow Wolf may seem to be only one person, but his actual strength is equal to that of four or five elite soldiers.

Even if we send out dozens of elite troops to besiege them like last time, we may not be able to stop the enemy.

Especially if he has abilities like flying, hovering, or even teleportation, it would be impossible.

"Well, a siege by force is the last resort," the fox wolf said. "I do have an idea. Last time I went looking for a magician, I couldn't find a suitable one in the city. But then someone recommended a witch doctor from the tribe to me."

"A witch doctor...in the barbarian tribe?" Tielang questioned.

"Yes, it is said that he has the ability to curse his targets. But it's just a legend, I haven't verified it yet! It's a good time to give it a try!" The fox wolf's eyes almost turned into two crescent moons with a smile.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Be careful," said the one-eyed wolf. "I've heard that if this kind of curse fails, there will be backlash. Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Don't worry, I didn't do it myself, so even if there's backlash, it won't be me who suffers. Even if Shadow Wolf finds us, we can just pick a few scapegoats," Fox Wolf replied. "I'm actually interested in the magic items he has!"

Speaking of magic items, everyone's eyes lit up.

This is not something that can be bought easily with money.

While magic items do have a price, unfortunately, they are generally unavailable. Very few truly useful magic items are circulated on the market. Of those that do appear, the vast majority are useless.

Even these useless things will only circulate in small circles.

"We need to track down Shadow Wolf... Besides, the curse can't just kill people casually. We have to take something from that person..."

……

In Master Vishatych's mansion, Thomas was packing his things.

I have a pretty good understanding of the situation in Novgorod, so this time I want to go outside the city to find out more.

Dierke is still the guide.

If it was to go to the city, Dierke would grumble and refuse to go, but leaving the city was another matter. To leave the city, you had to ride a horse.

After all, the whole family knew that Thomas had two good horses.

It was not an ordinary mount, but a good horse that could easily be sold for hundreds of florins.

If you meet someone who likes horses or has enough money, it’s no problem to sell it for a few hundred florins.

There were no cars in this era, and people in this era were as crazy about horses as people in Thomas' previous life were about cars.

For the sake of the good horse, Dierke accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

There are many opportunities to ride horses, but there are really not many opportunities to ride such a good horse.

This horse is indeed different.

I don’t know how to describe it, but Dierke can only say that riding this kind of horse is particularly exciting.

Even if you walk slowly on the street, you will still feel the gazes of countless people.

That look carried many emotions such as surprise, admiration, envy, jealousy, etc.

Feeling these countless gazes makes people feel inexplicably refreshed.

After leaving the city, this feeling of joy increased by three points.

Because once you leave the city, you can ride your horse.

When the horse ran, it gave people the feeling of flying in the clouds. Even when deliberately suppressing the horse's speed, Dierke could still feel the pleasure brought by the speed.

It didn't take much time. The two men had already run a long way, and the walls of Novgorod were almost reaching the horizon.

Dill did not forget his mission and began to introduce Thomas to the surrounding villages and towns, or nearby cities.

"We call this village 'Honey Village'. There are many honey collectors here. If you need honey, you can come here to buy it. I assure you that the honey and beeswax here is absolutely... Huh?!"

Dirk let out a surprised sigh.

Because in a house outside the village, several strong men with thick waists and big arms were kicking away a middle-aged man who was blocking the road.

"Go away!"

They walked out of the gate holding two young and beautiful girls in their hands.

The girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and their appearance and figures were extremely similar, obviously twins.

"father!"
