Lords go left, Emperors go right

After some persuasion from Osta, Minola finally agreed to Osta's proposal. As the chief of the tribe, everything should be based on the overall situation. Minola personally came forward and announced to the public that it was God's will that the venue of the Colense Conference must be changed according to the words given by a gentleman prince. Minola herself has a simple personality, full of vitality and energy, and is naturally not good at lying. With the guidance of a gentleman prince behind the scenes, she did not think of a suitable reason for persuasion so quickly.

After all, it was the will of the gods. The clan members of the grassland tribe basically had no doubts about it and chose to believe their beautiful chief Minola. This time they just changed the venue of the Colunsu Conference in the middle of the event, which had little impact. Although there was no precedent, the celebration activities could continue, so the clan members of the tribe had no objection.

According to Osta's suggestion, this transfer is mainly for personnel transfer, and property can be left at a later time, so there is no need to worry about it being stolen. A large number of grassland bandits were killed by the source of the plague, and the Koren Sunil grassland is currently very safe. It is fine to leave the property at the original place. The clan members of the grassland tribe began to get busy, and they could set off after a simple packing.

Osta acted on both sides at the same time. On one hand, he arranged to assist the clan members of the grassland tribe to transfer, and on the other hand, he entrusted Sophia to patrol around the grassland tribe to prevent the source of the plague from arriving early. The plan of the gentleman prince was quite far-sighted. Sophia just came out and patrolled in the air twice. When she was on the third circle, she encountered the source of the plague. The opponent came fiercely and did not care about the possibility of any defensive magic barrier in front of him. He directly crashed into it and was blocked by Sophia's defensive magic barrier and bounced to the side.

After receiving Sophia's report, the Gentleman Prince realized that he had made a mistake. The spherical monster that the "Mechanical Angel" Salia and her team monitored in Tours City was not the real original body, but a high-imitation substitute. There were more than one clones on the opposite side. The source of the plague that was rushing over now was not the original body, but a substitute. Compared with the previous spherical monster, it looked much better. This substitute looked like a giant bison. It was a temporary product created by the other party, and was originally the body of a dead bison.

"Where on earth does this annoying light come from? Damn it, it's blocking the road."

"I don't believe that we can't break through. We must get everything done before I come, otherwise..."

The stand-in of the source of the plague was stunned on the spot. After being rebounded, it was partially injured and could not recover for a while. It did not believe in evil and butted its head several times. After all the rebounds, it was completely furious. As if it was furious, it smashed all kinds of attack moves and exploded outside the defensive magic barrier. However, these horrible attacks were all ineffective and did not cause any waves. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. Not to mention the stand-in, even if the source of the plague came over, it would not be able to change the situation and would not be able to break the defense.

Sophia hid in the clouds and did not show up. She had been secretly observing the actions of the source of the plague. This beautiful blonde with golden eyes had received a commission from Aosta in advance. If the source of the plague showed up in advance, she would only isolate him and not attack him for the time being. According to the other party's request and suggestion, Sophia chose to hide her tracks and continued to play dumb. She hid in the clouds and watched the source of the plague look helpless, furious and tyrannical outside the defensive magic barrier, secretly happy. If the person coming from the opposite side was not the real body, and if the meeting was not sincere, Sophia would not take the initiative to show up, as that would be too cheap.

Osta also had his own selfish motives. He did not want to get rid of the source of the plague so quickly. The gentleman prince secretly planned to maximize the value of the source of the plague and use it to help clean up the remaining members of the grassland bandit forces that had been entrenched in the Korensunil grassland for many years, and clean up the four major grassland bandit groups. The White Wolf Group and the Falcon Group were basically wiped out, and the main forces of the Barbarian Bull Group and the Wild Horse Group were concentrated in the city of Granford. Many stubborn elements who finally refused to accept the change, those lawless people, could be completely eliminated by using the effect of the source of the plague.

After the source of the plague was cleared of those criminals who would not surrender and be recruited, Osta was considering whether to completely eliminate them. That would save him time, improve efficiency, and avoid many unnecessary troubles. At this time, after Osta completed the guidance work, the next work of transferring the members of the grassland tribe clan was handed over to their beautiful chief Minola to be responsible for and command. Osta took Chris and Yulia with him, disguised as ordinary tourists, to visit the Colunsu Conference.

The news that the Kelunsu Conference will be moved has spread. The members of the grassland tribe clans don't care, it doesn't matter where it is held, but some people can't sit still, that is, many vendors who come here for the reputation. These vendors have paid a considerable amount of tolls and protection fees to the grassland bandits to arrive here safely. The merchants originally hoped to make a lot of money when the Kelunsu Conference was held. Now, there has been an unexpected change, and the Kelunsu Conference has been temporarily moved and abandoned the original venue. Those vendors have been implicated and have been in trouble. They are facing the threat of bankruptcy before the market opens, and they can no longer afford the transportation costs of the goods. In order to recover a little loss to the greatest extent, these vendors have reduced the price of the goods on the spot and strive to recover some of their capital.

With the mentality of taking the opportunity to pick up bargains, Osta bought these low-priced goods and found a lot of high-quality and low-priced goods. The vendors finally found a gold owner who was willing to pay for their goods and clean up the mess. They seemed to have found a life-saving straw and surrounded him to sell their goods and try to reduce the losses. The merchants who can participate in the Nadam Festival held by the grassland tribes are also illegal merchants. However, there is a clear difference between them and real black merchants. The goods they sell are mostly smuggled, and there are not many contrabands. Accurately positioned, they are gray merchants. Osta’s first impression of gray merchants is not bad, at least he does not hate black merchants as much as he hates them, and he is extremely repulsive and disgusted.

"Boss, do you accept special goods?"

"Special cargo? What's so special about your cargo, mate?"

"Boss, there are too many people here, it's not convenient to show it."

"Brother, I'm not short of money, but I won't pay for something I haven't seen."

"Boss, if you are willing to give me a chance, please come with me to take a look at the goods."

"That's interesting. Okay, you lead the way. If the goods are good, it doesn't matter if they are special or not. I will never give you a bad price."

"Thank you for your appreciation, boss. I promise you will be satisfied."

When Aosta was almost done with the transaction, a merchant who looked suspicious came over. He approached quietly and spoke in a low voice. At this time, the other vendors had basically completed the transaction, received the payment from the gentleman prince, and then left the goods. In an emergency, the vendors didn't even care whether the other party gave metal currency or paper money. Aosta paid with paper money and settled the accounts with those vendors with Brown coins.

This businessman, who looked sneaky, was tall and thin. When he spoke, his eyes moved around and he observed the surroundings. Those who didn't know the situation might think that he was a drug addict preparing to make a deal. It was obvious that the other party was not a legitimate businessman. Osta had dealt with many illegal merchants before, and had seen many black merchants. He didn't care about the appearance of this businessman. After seeing that the transactions of other merchants around him were completed, he followed this businessman to the other party's freight carriage.

In the old carriage, the merchant opened a wooden box, which contained many sheepskin scrolls that looked like ancient artifacts. Osta did not ask about the origin of the goods. He speculated that it was most likely related to tomb robbery. Even if he asked in person, this cunning merchant would most likely not tell the truth. According to the market conditions, there are ancient artifacts traded in this plane, but they are limited to gold and silver utensils or magic props, as well as weapons and equipment. Relics such as ancient books and related classical literature are worthless. Few people know about them, and they will not trade them if they are found. In most cases, they are thrown away at will.

Osta took out a sheepskin scroll at random, flipped it open and took a quick look. After scanning it, he was stunned. The familiar Chinese characters of an ancient oriental country came into view. These sheepskin scrolls were genuine relics of prehistoric civilization. Although they were just some documentary materials, their value was immeasurable and could fill in that blank period of history. Most importantly, Osta wanted to know what happened to those predecessors who traveled here during the prehistoric civilization period, which led to their all withdrawal. He was very curious about this.

"Boss, what do you think? Many people don't recognize the characters on it. I went to the port of St. Louis not long ago. The new characters taught by the lord there, Prince Aosta, are very similar to these characters."

"Boss, I was planning to ship it there, but I don't have the money for the trip. If you ship it there and sell it to Prince Aosta, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"Brother, how much do you have? I want them all. You name the price! By the way, if you can reveal the source, I can give you another information fee."

"Boss, you are so polite. I got these things from..."

The businessman was also a profit-seeking man. Osta gave him too much, and he forgot the confidentiality agreement between him and the owner of the goods. For the sake of real money, he betrayed the boss without hesitation.

Osta was so absorbed in the joy of discovering the literature on prehistoric civilization that he did not notice that at the bottom of the box, there was a unique scroll that was emitting a faint ominous aura, which would bring great trouble to the holder in the future. However, it was not a big problem. The trouble was only for ordinary people. If it was a gentleman prince, it would not be a big threat. His current personal strength had reached the level of a demigod, and with his identity as a traverser, he was not at all vulnerable to the curse.

Chapter 26: Special Operation Return to Liberty City (Part 2)

————This chapter (9K)————

At the northern border of the Bloomfield region, in the Korensunil Prairie area, as the scope of the source of the plague expanded further, Lord Osta decided to carry out a relocation operation to allow the members of the grassland tribe clans who had lived here for generations to move out temporarily and stay away from danger. After dealing with the source of the plague, we will consider letting them return to their homes. This time, the source of the plague only infected the human race, not other races. If the grassland tribe moves away now, the loss is not great. There are cattle and sheep on the grassland, and the source of the plague cannot directly have a negative impact on animal husbandry. It is right to save people first.

The outbreak of the source of the plague is related to the ancient ruins hidden underground in the Korensunil Prairie. The history of the ruins can be traced back to the prehistoric civilization period, the most glorious era in human history so far, and there are influences from prehistoric travelers behind it. The entrance to the underground ruins can be confirmed to be in Granford City, the free city, which was originally the headquarters of the Wild Horse Group, and was later occupied by the Wild Bull Group. Now, these two are members of one of the four major prairie bandit groups, and the top leaders are almost wiped out. The Gentleman Prince has replaced them and become the new owner, controlling the city behind the scenes.

When the grassland tribe was preparing to evacuate, Osta accidentally purchased a batch of valuable prehistoric civilization relics from the merchants. Osta was very familiar with the ancient text on this batch of sheepskin scrolls. Before the gentleman prince crossed over, he still had a deep impression of the text of his hometown. Regarding the source of the cultural relics, the gray merchant who sold them, at the beginning, out of professional practice, would not disclose any information about the seller to the buyer, and kept the source of goods and related channels strictly confidential. However, this tradition itself is not very binding and cannot change the profit-seeking nature of merchants. After Osta gave a considerable reward, the gray merchant who sold the stolen goods instantly stopped pretending and sold all the relevant information he knew to the gentleman prince. The other party gave too much. If there is money to be made, professional ethics is a complete joke, just like a decoration that can't play any role at the critical moment.

This batch of cultural relics was found by a professional tomb-robbing team in an ancient ruin that had been dormant for many years under the Korensuanier Prairie. Those guys rented a store in Granford City in advance. After finding the place, they dug a passage and secretly entered the ancient ruins. However, the ending of these people was not good. Among the dozens of people who went down, only two or three people with better luck escaped by chance. The rest of the people never came up again, most of them met with accidents. The survivors were pale and did not return to their normal complexion for a long time. The survivors were very taboo about encountering any accidents. They were unwilling to recall the terrifying memories that were more horrible than the dark history. The batch of cultural relics was the only thing they brought out. The literature was worthless, so the tomb robbers sold it to the gray businessman, and finally resold it to Aosta. Although the survivors had slipped away, the tomb-robbing holes they dug were still there. The gray businessman had inquired about the specific location and related places.

Osta immediately set off and returned to Granford City. He only brought Chris and Yulia with him this time. Including the water demon Stella who was hiding in the dark and could be summoned to help at any time with the help of the contract and bond, there were a total of three accompanying personnel. Sophia could not leave for the time being. Her sacred attributes completely restrained a series of dark existences such as the source of plague. The gentleman prince entrusted her to suppress the situation in the place where the grassland tribe lived, deter the source of plague and other hidden evil existences, and prevent the other party from acting rashly, so as to protect the safe transfer of the members of the grassland tribe clan to the greatest extent. The strength of these three special existences is beyond the scope of common sense. There is not much difference in the effect of bringing one or three. In battle, they can kill the opponent in one move, and will not use the second move.

With the help of one of his beautiful clan leaders, the "Mechanical Angel" Salia, Osta boarded the large air transport vehicle of the other party's intelligent mechanical army and returned to the Free City from the relatively safe and stable air channel. It was equivalent to taking an air transportation vehicle such as an airplane, which was much faster than an airplane, and even slightly better than the flying magic circle he had taken before. When the gentleman prince returned to the lord's mansion in the central city, it was already his control area.

There are four high-ranking members of the Barbarian Bull Group. Osta adopted the tactic of treating them separately and defeating them one by one, and successively killed the second-in-command "Mad Bull" Ramondo, the third-in-command "Iron Bull" Torbjorn, and the first-in-command "Bison King" Kamut. The military advisor "Grassland Sage" Beshi Moli who came to support at last, the fourth-in-command chose to surrender, temporarily changed sides, and switched to the side of the gentleman prince. This girl still had self-knowledge and knew that the general situation was over, so she made the most prudent decision. She and the grassland bandits and those lawless people were not originally the same kind of people. The cooperation between the two sides also ended with the demise of one of them. After all, it was just a relationship of mutual use. There was no need to help the other party to take revenge. If you don't do it well and put your own life and property on the line, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Jasmine, this is illegal kidnapping. Let me go back. I still have business to do in my store."

"Fula, everyone knows the situation of your store. There are only a few customers in a month. Going back to do business? You can't even fool a child with that excuse."

"Jasmine, even if there are no customers, I have other things to do in the store. If you don't let me go, I...I'm going to ask His Highness Aosta to seek justice!"

"Fula, the plan to evacuate Granford City was arranged by His Highness. I am just following the orders given by my master and acting according to his instructions. If you go to find him, the result will not change."

"This... Even if we want to move, we have to give them time to clean up their assets! Jasmine, the batch of medicines in my store are all very valuable."

"Fula, you can rest assured about this matter. I have already arranged it. I have already sent someone to your store to help with packing. You don't have to deal with the packing yourself. Just wait here."

After Osta arrived at the lord's mansion, he met the fourth leader of the Barbarian Bull Group, one of the four major grassland bandit groups, in the central bedroom. The "Grassland Sage" Beshi Moli, the exiled female general from the southern continent, is currently the temporary manager of the Barbarian Bull Group and can barely control some people. However, since the death of the first three leaders of the Barbarian Bull Group, most of the members of the Barbarian Bull Group chose to run away. They were not satisfied with a woman being the leader. The Barbarian Bull Group, which originally had more than 30,000 people, now only has about 1,000 or 2,000 people. Most of the lawless people have left the Barbarian Bull Group and sought other ways out.

The outside world didn't know about the deaths of the leaders, so they just thought they disappeared and mysteriously lost contact. Many members of the Bull Gang also speculated that the former leader Kamut and other leaders were killed. Of course, these were just speculations, without sufficient evidence to support them, and lacked convincing physical evidence. Even if they knew the truth, not many members of the Bull Gang would fight to the death to avenge their former leader. Kamut's followers, those trusted subordinates, these diehards were basically wiped out by Osta. Without a leader, ordinary Bull Gang bandits would not get involved in the muddy water.

Bessie Jasmine herself, as well as several of her important female subordinates, Sigma, Sirona and Sandra, were all military men with strong combat capabilities. The one or two thousand people who chose to stay were the soldiers who followed them when they fled overseas. After arriving in the Central Continent, they disguised their identities and pretended to be grassland bandits. They were not on the same path with the criminals, and it was inevitable that they would part ways. Now it was just a public breakup in advance. Osta was quite satisfied with this result and did not blame Bessie Jasmine for dereliction of duty. Those criminals did not know that the White Wolf Group and the Falcon Group were gone, and wanted to set up their own camp. It just so happened that the Gentleman Prince did not need to deal with them, and they could just harvest the source of the plague and be done with it.

The situation of the Wild Horses is similar to that of the Bulls. Most of the more than 10,000 members in the Free City do not accept the management of Elinfula. This girl herself has almost no combat power and her personal strength is not good. She is just the adopted daughter of the former leader Erangel. The relationship between the two sides is not good, almost to the point of completely severing the relationship. The news of Erangel being poisoned was not leaked. Osta directly instructed to change the explanation of poisoning to death due to old age and illness. Most members of the Wild Horses do not agree with this reason. The former leader died too suddenly, and when he was seriously ill, he did not summon important members of the organization to discuss the issue of succession with the cadres. Elinfula's personal prestige is limited, and it is difficult to control so many members.

There are only 100 to 200 members of the Wild Horse Group in Granford who still support Elinfra. Most of them fled and joined the Bull Group to seek a new master. The more than 30,000 Wild Horse Group members who were roaming outside have established their own bases and have not returned to the Free City to report. If they did this in the past, Osta would have a lot of trouble and would need to arrange personnel to chase them. Now, the situation has changed. The Gentleman Prince hopes that all the opponents will flee so that they can be killed by the source of the plague. He doesn't have to do it himself, which saves a lot of work.

The members of the Mustang Group who supported Elinfula were almost all girls. When the eldest lady opened her shop, the limited transactions were all with her own female thief. The two sides were familiar with each other, so they chose Elinfula. The total number of members who were recruited and accepted by the Mustang Group and the Bull Group was about 2,000. Osta was not picky. He also selected people and selected them in advance. It was impossible to summon all the criminals with numerous crimes. The gentleman prince adhered to certain principles. Not all crimes could be pardoned by him.

"Bessie Jasmine, Irene Fura, what are you two doing? You had such a good thing, but you didn't inform me in advance."

"Your Highness, you are here. We...we are talking about something."

"Let's talk about business, you two... the atmosphere here doesn't seem like it's a good place to talk about serious matters."

"Your Highness, I...I am really talking about serious matters. Jasmine just deliberately played tricks on me and lied to me that she had a business and needed to deliver goods to someone's door. But when we got there, she refused to let me go and..."

"Your Highness, I haven't even paid for this girl yet. How can I let her go before the deal is over?"

"Bessie Jasmine, Irene Furra, stop fighting. You are all my people. What's the point... If you continue like this, I can't guarantee that you will be able to walk normally later!"

"Your Highness, don't... We were just joking just now, please don't mind it."

"Your Highness, what do you want to talk to us about? I have carried out all the tasks you asked me to do, without any omissions or deviations."

When Osta walked into the room, a mixed fragrance hit him. From a distance, he could see two graceful white figures. Scattered clothes could be seen everywhere on the carpet, from inside to outside, shoes and socks were all available. Bessie Jasmine and Irene Furra, facing each other, were frank in a nearly naked way, carrying only their belongings, leaving only thin underwear, this set of ultra-thin inner armor, both of which were three-point bikini swimsuits with bold and open design styles, belonging to the same style, the only difference was the color, the former was orange, and the latter was pink and white.

Bessie Jasmine had come behind Ellenfula and controlled the beauty from behind, crossing her hands behind her back and holding down her wrists. Ellenfula herself had no fighting power and was just an ordinary person. Facing Bessie Jasmine, who was born as a female general, she had almost no power to resist and was quickly subdued by the other party. If Osta had come a little later, he would have seen the scene where Bessie Jasmine completely controlled Ellenfula and tied her up. The arrival of the gentleman prince made the two ladies realize something and ended the frolic. They realized that their ambiguous behavior, especially in front of the master, might irritate the other party and be executed on the spot.

Osta was not polite. He walked forward, holding one of them with one hand, and pulled the two beauties directly to his side. He held them in his arms, letting them nestle in the arms of the gentleman prince like little birds, and stay on the left and right sides. Osta still had business to deal with, and did not take the first kill of the two beauties for the time being. He just smelled the exclusive virgin fragrance and kissed the smooth and beautiful faces several times. After satisfying his craving, he talked about business and asked Bessie Jasmine and Elinfula about a place, the temporary base of the tomb-robbing organization, and the specific location. Although the other party was defeated miserably and almost wiped out, the relevant tomb-robbing holes were only temporarily blocked, not really sealed. After finding them, they can be reactivated soon, saving the trouble of digging another passage.

After thinking for a while, Bessie Jasmine and Elinfula quickly gave almost the same answer. They both had an impression of the other party, which was a private villa manor. The building was a site of the ancient city itself, not a new one. The current owner of the place was the black merchant Mosa, a senior slave trader from the southern continent of the human race. After the other party bought the ancient house, he temporarily hired a large number of skilled craftsmen to repair it, making the overall appearance of the ancient house look brand new. In addition to the main business of the other party's slave trading, his sideline business was other trades. He often sold some antiques and was suspected of reselling ancient cultural relics. Unfortunately, the codes of the countries in this plane of the alien world did not clearly punish the crime of reselling cultural relics. Mosa's business was booming and was not sanctioned by any code.

This black trader, Mossa, is also the richest man in Granford City. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the area. Whether it is the previous Wild Horse Group or the later Wild Bull Group, the leaders of these two grassland bandit groups, the big boss Erangel and the "Bison King" Kamut, have received a lot of benefits from that guy and received a large amount of bribes. They have taken special care of his black business, provided special care, and special protection, just like an umbrella. Now, the times have changed, the two bandit leaders are gone, and Osta, as the new ruler, will definitely not continue the previous policies.

The resurrection of the ancient monsters in the ancient ruins under the Koren Sunil Prairie was largely related to the actions of the tomb robbers. The tomb robbers destroyed the original layout and awakened some evil beings in advance. Now, the tomb robbers have suffered the consequences and are almost wiped out. The behind-the-scenes financier of the black businessman Mosa has not received the punishment he deserves. After knowing that the matter is related to the other party, Osta has begun to think about how to make the behind-the-scenes investor pay the price and the relevant action plan.

"Your Highness, I have met this guy Mosa a few times before. His business ability is not bad. However, those are all illegal trades, so it is difficult to comment on them."

"Your Highness, I heard from some customers that Mosa's prices are extremely high, even higher than those of ordinary black marketeers. Are you asking about him to discuss business?"

"Bessie Jasmine, Elinfula, the king does have something to ask him, but it's not business. Do you want to know?"

"Your Highness, if you want us to know, we will tell you. If you don't want us to know, we will never ask."

"Your Highness, as long as you don't go to him to discuss the resale of the two of us, the other aspects don't matter."

"Bessie Jasmine, Irene Fura, you know how to get along with your master. I'm not looking for him for a business deal or a resale. You don't have to think about it anymore. As long as they are my people, there is no way I'll give them away."

"Your Highness, I'm overthinking it. Do you need someone to go with you? Mosa has a lot of thugs around him."

"Beshi Jasmine, that's not necessary. I have enough combat power around me. We don't need too many people. You guys continue to act according to the original plan. It would be best if everyone can evacuate before tomorrow."

"Your Highness, I will work with Jasmine to arrange the relevant matters as soon as possible."

Osta did not reveal the real purpose of looking for the black marketeer Mosa, and Bessie Jasmine and Irene Furra were also smart not to ask more questions. After this brief conversation, Osta took Chris and Yulia out of the lord's mansion. The three of them disguised themselves a little and started to act after getting dressed up. Chris and Yulia both put on a black coat, a black hood on their heads, and a black veil on their faces. This outfit was borrowed from Irene Furra. The design style is very similar to the clergy uniform of the Church of Light. The only difference between it and the real nun uniform is that there is no cross necklace on the chest.

Yulia herself is an evil being, but she does not reject the idea of ​​wearing the nun's uniform of the Church of Light. As long as she does not wear a cross necklace, she is not a real clergyman. Osta also made some disguises, changing into a black uniform and wearing a black pointed hat. It looks like the clergy uniform of the Church of Light. If there is a cross necklace on the chest or hand, it is a standard priest. The gentleman prince was originally the appointed successor of this generation of the Pope of Light. As the heir, he did not have much psychological pressure to pretend to be a clergyman of the church. Even if he was discovered, he was not afraid of being held accountable afterwards.

Osta and his group looked like a strange combination of a priest and two nuns. According to the accurate address provided by Bessie Moli and Elinfula, they soon arrived at the residence of the black trader Mosa, near the renovated old house. This time, there were no obstacles on the road. Most of the grassland bandits, members of the Bull Group and the Wild Horse Group in Granford City fled. The remaining lawless criminals gathered near the city lord's mansion and the largest storage warehouse in the city, following the newly appointed temporary leader. The number of floating population, illegal vendors, and black traders in the Free City has exceeded that of grassland bandits.

The residence of the black businessman Mosa, the appearance of this old house, can no longer see the original architectural style. When the other party was renovating the old house, the craftsmen they invited all made it according to their own style, and as a result, the original design was completely changed. At the door of the old house, at the entrance, you can see dozens of fully armed guards, all of whom are the other party's private armed forces. This black businessman himself has made a lot of money. In the disorderly place, he is afraid of being targeted by people with bad intentions. It is natural for him to hire a large number of men and form a personal defense force.

The guards and bodyguards in the area around the old house numbered over a hundred, and they were on high alert. It was claimed that not even a fly could get in. That statement was exaggerated. Aosta walked to the door and was stopped by the guards. When the other party saw that the visitor was a clergyman, he spoke in a more polite tone, not as loudly as he would to ordinary people. Generally speaking, few people dare to pretend to be members of the Church of Light. If they are discovered, they will be regarded as heretics and hunted down by the Inquisition. If they are caught, they will be burned at the stake. The risk is too great. Except for very few cases like Aosta who have a special identity and status, the guards on the opposite side all believe that the visitor is a real member of the Church of Light. They don't know the other party's intentions, but they still have to be polite. It is not good to offend the other party, and the consequences will be unbearable.

Osta deliberately chose to dress up as a priest. The Church of Light does not send many people overseas. There is no precedent for sending clergymen in the Central Continent. The Gentleman Prince knew this and deliberately disguised himself as a member of the church. He basically does not encounter people from the church in the Central Continent. His disguised identity cannot be seen for a certain period of time. If there is no real clergyman to confront and expose him in person, ordinary people who do not want to cause trouble will assume that the other party is a real clergyman. Even if there are any doubts or suspicious places, they will pretend to be unaware, as if they did not see it, turning a blind eye, selectively ignoring it, and deliberately blinding themselves.

"Father, what are you doing here? My boss doesn't seem to be a believer of the Church of Light. Maybe you have come to the wrong place."

"I just happened to be passing by. By the way, your old house looks like it is filled with evil spirits and is a sign of great misfortune. If you don't perform a purification ritual, the people living inside will probably die soon."

"Father, you are exaggerating. Don't be ridiculous. We live in this old house and it's a good place. There is no evil spirit there!"

"Well, you don't have to believe it. If it weren't for the Goddess of Light, I wouldn't care about these extraneous matters. The exorcism ritual itself is very complicated."

"Father, are you...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. Before we joined the church, we swore in front of the Goddess of Light that we would not lie to the world. Is there any need for us to lie to you?"

"Father Ortz, we have other important matters to deal with. Let's just ignore this place! Everything is up to fate."

"Father, please wait a moment. We are just ordinary servants. We cannot make decisions on such important matters."

"You are really ignorant. Why don't you inform your master or housekeeper and let him decide?"

Osta and Chris cooperated with each other, acting very realistically. After hearing the conversation between the priest and the nun, the guards on the other side were shaken. The other party said that there was an evil spirit in the old house and an exorcism ceremony was needed. Most of the bodyguards believed it in their hearts, but they just couldn't say it out loud. After the black businessman Mosa hired these men, he never told them that he was cooperating with the tomb-robbing group. Not long ago, a tomb-robbing group visited the old house as visitors. There were dozens of visitors, but only a few of them left in the end. The others disappeared mysteriously, and the mental state of the survivors was not right, as if they had encountered something terrible and were scared out of their wits.

Mosa didn't have any official explanation for this, and kept it secret from the outside world, which inadvertently deepened the servants' suspicion and made them believe the priest's statement. Osta took advantage of this and easily fooled the guards, who immediately reported the news. After a while, a group of people walked to the door, led by a young man, not the black trader Mosa. Mosa's age can be confirmed to be middle-aged, not that young. The other party may be Mosa's son, the successor of the black trade business. Since the departure of that group of visitors, the black trader Mosa rarely appeared in public, and it was basically the eldest son Mollet who showed up. The young master came on the scene and took over the power and status of the old master. Outsiders didn't know what the old master was like. The young master never mentioned it, and the servants didn't dare to ask more.

Mollet looked handsome, with short blond hair and blue eyes, a standard blond and blue eyes, and a handsome face. He was nearly 170cm tall. If you ignore his background as a young master of a black merchant, he would be the eldest son of a wealthy merchant. He was wearing a black suit and was accompanied by several trusted bodyguards. He looked like he had inherited everything from his father, Mossa. On the surface, Osta was fine, and his expression did not change significantly, but he was laughing in his heart. The gentleman prince was worried before that he might not be able to fool an old fox like the black merchant Mossa. The other party had been in business for many years and was quite accurate in judging people. There was a certain probability that he would see through the identity of the disguised clergy here. If it was Mollet, it would be much easier to fool.

In addition to bodyguards, there are two or three gorgeously dressed female attendants around Mollet. These young and beautiful beauties are dressed rather formally on the surface, but in private they are all private female secretaries or female assistants of the young master, the kind of people who are not serious. Mollet is a complete dandy, the only son of the black businessman Mosa, and the identity of the rich second generation is there. He is not good at business and other aspects, and is not as good as his father, but he is not ambiguous in enjoying himself, and even surpasses his elders.

After a quick glance, Osta turned his attention back to the real owner, Mollet, the only son of the black businessman Mosa. The beautiful secretary beside him was indeed of superior appearance and figure, but compared with the exclusive entourage of the gentleman prince, Chris and Yulia, two special existences outside the specification, she was obviously inferior to them. The gap was huge, several times the grade, and they were not on the same level at all, and there was no comparison.

The black businessman Mosa might have really met with an accident, and Osta happened to hit the mark by accident. Molet walked to a position close to Osta and stopped, greeting him according to etiquette. This rich young man had no intention of doubting him at all. He didn't even notice that the clergy of the Church of Light did not wear a cross necklace that symbolized his identity when going out. He still treated the person in front of him as real. He really needs to find someone in this area. The Church of Light has not established a branch in the Central Continent so far, so it is quite difficult to find their people. This time, someone took the initiative to come to the door, whether it is real or not, it is right to invite him over.

"Father, you came at the right time. I have something to ask you. I don't know if it's time..."

"Sorry, I have to go somewhere else to deal with exorcisms, so I'm not available for the moment."

"Father, wait a minute, I need your help here too. Look..."

"I'm already in line to register, but others have appointments first, please wait..."

"Father, my situation is urgent. Can't you be flexible? By the way, please accept this little token of your appreciation. It's not a token of respect!"

"Our church has a rule that clergy members are not allowed to accept donations from places other than the church when they are away from home. You are not a believer of the Church of Light, so you should take this gift back. I cannot accept it!"

"Father, can't you really help? Just name a price. We are not short of money and can pay for other things as well."

"The evil creatures here are too powerful. I only brought two assistants this time. The exorcism ritual may not be successful, so..."

"Father, I understand this. Adding money is not a problem. After the matter is completed, I will donate a large sum of money to the church you specify."

Osta pretended to be embarrassed and used the method of playing hard to get. Morlet on the opposite side really got anxious. Regardless of the presence of other people around him, he expressed his position in front of his subordinates, hoping that the gentleman prince would come to the mansion to help. Osta's identity as a clergyman was a disguise. He himself did not know any light magic. Chris and Yulia who followed him did not know that type of dispelling magic. Sophia, who really knew how to dispel and purify, the holy existence, stayed in the grassland tribe and could not come over for the time being. In this situation, Osta was still calm and regarded himself as a professional exorcist. After all, the priest himself was also one of the charlatans. It didn't matter if he didn't have real skills. He still knew how to brag about it first.

Morlet believed it and promised to give him a large sum of money in person. The clergy of the Church of Light are basically not short of money. The treatment of the Church of Light is very high. In the Eastern Continent of the Human Race, the treatment and privileges enjoyed by ordinary members of the church are even better than those of local officials, most officials and some nobles. There is a special background environment where theocracy is above and imperial power is second. Therefore, if you want to spend money to hire clergy of the Church of Light to perform exorcism and purification rituals, the cost is not a small amount. Those who can afford it are all truly rich people.

Generally speaking, in addition to the Church of Light, there are also a group of liberal exorcists who are not under the jurisdiction of the Church of Light in other human continents. These exorcists have their own guilds and charge much cheaper than the Church of Light, which is a good compromise. The two have different exorcism methods. The actual effect and the final result depend on many factors. They are not of reference value and generally will not be much different. If you can't find clergy from the Church of Light or can't afford the high remuneration, hiring an exorcist is the best choice.

In order to invite the priest of the Church of Light to perform the exorcism ceremony, Moret charged 100,000 gold coins for one appearance fee. This was only the standard for ordinary priests. The appearance fees of bishops and archbishops were doubled. Rumor has it that as long as one can pay a million gold coins or other treasures of equivalent value, it is also possible to invite the current pope or past popes of the Church of Light to perform the exorcism ceremony. That situation rarely happens, and there have been only a few times in the history of the human race. Under normal circumstances, the highest-ranking clergyman that the Church of Light can invite is the pope, who is second only to the pope. The production fee is 500,000 gold coins, and only big countries can afford to invite him.

The fee standard of liberal exorcists is relatively cheap. There are many exorcists in that industry, and they are mixed with good and bad, and their skills vary. This directly leads to inconsistent fees and serious internal competition. The cheapest exorcism fee is dozens to a hundred gold coins, and someone will take the order. Of course, taking an order is one thing, and whether you can complete the order is another. Mollet had no choice. He had already looked for exorcists before and invited several batches of liberal exorcists to come. Those exorcists either scared away or failed to expel the other party. They gave themselves up on the spot. After several times, Mollet had to make up his mind and planned to hire clergy from the Church of Light to give it a try.

"Father Ortz, this is what happened. Do you think you can do a quick exorcism?"

"Mr. Moret, your problem is too serious. I have invited nearly ten groups of liberal exorcists but none of them have been able to solve it. I have to go back and ask the bishop... Maybe the archbishop needs to step in..."

"Father Ortz, you try it first. I'm not well-off here. A bishop's appearance fee of more than 200,000 gold coins is really a bit too much... not to mention an archbishop's fee of more than 300,000 gold coins..."

"Well, I can give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't accept your donation."
