Chapter 912, Church Opens
In the sight of the ghost.
Some protesting residents gathered in front of the church.
These people gathered at the entrance of the Vatican, shouting out various reasons for refusing to build a church.
The ghost's sight flew over the crowd and soon noticed a figure.
He was a dwarf, wearing a grey hood and a brown gown like ordinary residents. He walked among the crowd, glancing at the patrol team opposite from time to time.
The ghost flew directly downwards and floated beside the other person.
The dwarf walked to the front of the team and led the shouting: "Treasure Island does not need any sects..."
Then, he walked to the back, among the crowd of onlookers, and said, "If this church is built, we will not have a peaceful life. With evil professions, extremist believers, and the hostility of the church, Treasure Island will be even more chaotic than it was two years ago."
The ghost watched for a while, then ended the shared screen and flew back.
Wu Heng released the ghost again and looked a little more relaxed.
It was not as serious as imagined, and there were not many people gathered at the church door.
She raised her head again and looked at the elf sister opposite her. "Found it. There is a dwarf with a gray hood in the crowd. He is leading the residents."
The two sisters looked at each other, efficient as always.
The person had just sat down and the association hadn't explained anything yet, but they found someone.
"Just a dwarf? What level?" asked Xilagui.
"Level 9! There must be someone else behind this." Wu Heng thought for a moment and said.
Xilagui didn't say anything. She leaned back and thought for a while, then said, "Don't show up. Someone might be waiting for you to lead a team and then carry out other plans."
Shi Yali raised her eyebrows, "It's possible. It sounds strange that a level 9 person dares to challenge a hero like you."
That is indeed possible.
Such a temporary protest will not have any effect at all.
Wu Heng said: "So what are your plans?"
Xilagui smiled and said, "I'll come out to explain in the name of the deacon. My reputation on the island is not as good as yours, but it's also very high."
As he spoke, he raised his head confidently.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for your news." Wu Heng nodded.
"Yes!" Xilagui agreed and got up to change her clothes.
Took Shi Yali out of the study.
Wu Heng continued to stay in the study, waiting for news.
……
At the church door.
The protesting residents were still shouting slogans sporadically.
As time went on, more people were persuaded to join the protest.
Wow~!
At this time, footsteps were heard from the direction of the association, and three teams from the association stood opposite the crowd.
The shouting suddenly stopped and everyone looked across vigilantly.
In the crowd, the dwarf lowered the hood on his head and carefully retreated to the back. His eyes under the brim of his hat looked expectantly at the army gathering on the opposite side.
He was just one step away from his goal, as long as there was a conflict between the two sides.
"This is Treasure Island. We are not afraid of you..."
As the leader shouted, the crowd also followed suit and shouted loudly.
Xilagui glanced at the other party's position, waved her hand to signal the Association Team and the Skeleton Guard to take two steps back, and said loudly: "I just communicated with the island owner and am willing to listen to everyone's opinions. Follow me to the conference room, and I will record your ideas then."
The voice was deep and powerful, echoing among the crowd.
The residents, whose emotions had just been aroused, looked at each other and whispered about the deacon's proposal.
Xi Lagui continued, "Don't you guys trust the association? Besides, this isn't the place to discuss things."
"Okay, we'll go with you." someone said loudly.
Xilagui smiled and said, "Let's go to the meeting room."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the association, followed by the crowd.
The dwarf looked at everyone inside and turned to leave.
As soon as I turned into the alley, five figures blocked the alley on both sides.
The dwarf's eyes narrowed, "What do you mean?"
"The fifth team of the association, come back with us!"
……
Guild, dungeon.
The cold dungeon was filled with a smell of dampness and decay.
The dwarf's hands were tied behind his back, and the hood on his head and the clothes on his body were stripped off and thrown aside.
"Captains, with so many people protesting, why are you arresting me? I'm just joining in the fun. I firmly support the island owner." The dwarf said in a panic.
"Who asked you to incite the residents? The outcome will be different if you tell it yourself or ask us." The captain of Team 1 said coldly.
The dwarf said firmly: "I really just came here to join in the fun and shout a few words. I accept the punishment. I am sorry to the island owner and the association. I know I was wrong."
As he said this, he began to cry bitterly.
Ta Ta Ta Ta~!
At this time, there were slight footsteps coming from the stairs.
The team members turned around and saw Wu Heng walking towards them with a skeleton with a hole in the middle of its forehead.
"Chief!" All the association members saluted.
The residents of the island call him the island owner, while the members of the association need to call him the chief.
He is the leader appointed by the headquarters.
In the corner, the crying dwarf froze in his tracks and glanced out cautiously, his eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
Wu Heng glanced at him and asked, "What did you find out?"
The captain said, "His name is Hayes, a level 9 bard. He carries a sachet-type item. This item is sold in stores and can affect the emotions of people around him."
"He didn't admit to inciting the residents, and only said that he just followed them to join in the fun."
The dwarf squatted on the ground, wiped the tears from his face with his knees, and shouted: "I firmly support the island master to establish a sect. I just have a bad mouth. When I saw the protest, I shouted a few words. Master, I know I was wrong."
Wu Heng also looked at him and said, "You are just level 9. Establishing a sect on the island should not have any impact on you. Just tell me who told you to do this, and then you can leave."
"I didn't do anything. I really didn't do anything." The dwarf said firmly.
The three-eyed skull Bubble at the side, soul fire flickered in its eyes, and shook its head slightly.
Wu Heng turned back and looked at him again, saying, "This is your last chance, think it over before you speak, or I will kill you and ask the corpse directly, who is the person behind this?"
The dwarf looked up and wanted to speak, but when he met the other person's gaze, he held his words back.
Fear and uneasiness flashed in his eyes. He hesitated, swallowed his saliva and said, "Niklas, he is the captain of the Lingxi Fleet. He did me a favor and asked me to do this."
Wu Heng looked at Skull Bubble and saw him nod. He then said to the team behind him, "Go and catch him."
"Yes!" The team left immediately.
Wu Heng also followed him out.
The dwarf was left curled up on the ground, wanting to beg for mercy but not daring to speak.
……
In the conference room.
After listening to everyone's opinions, Xi Lagui smiled and said, "I have written down everything you said, and the evil professions and pagans you mentioned are impossible. The island owner's sect has been reported to the association, so these two problems are impossible. I will leave the rest to the island owner."
A slightly obese woman said, "Then why do some people say that they will recruit bad professionals?"
Shi Yali said: "There are all kinds of rumors out there, and everyone should also recognize that the island owner has made great contributions to the island. If we really force him to leave, we will also suffer losses."
The people on the other side began to talk.
Xi Lagui continued, "Well, since it's just some misunderstandings, let's go back first. The church will be open tomorrow and you can go and have a look again."
The woman who had spoken before said awkwardly, "Deacon, our opinions are confidential, right? Even the island master can't know that it was us who said it, right?"
Everyone was also a little confused, wondering why he was so anxious before.
Blocking the door of the church to protest.
Xi Lagui smiled and said, "Anonymous, I promise not to tell him."
"Thank you, Deacon."
"Then we won't bother you anymore..."
The people on the opposite side stood up and walked out of the room.
After waiting in the conference room for a while, there was a knock on the door again.
A team member walked in and said, "Deacon, the leader personally conducted the interrogation. The person behind the scenes is the captain of the Lingxi fleet. The captain of the first team has gone to arrest him."
Xi Lagui and Shi Yali raised their eyebrows.
It's really fast.
"Is the dwarf dead?" asked Xilagui.
The only thing I could ask so quickly was the corpse.
But the other party's crime was not enough to actually kill him.
"No, the person is still in the dungeon." said the team member.
Xilagui raised her eyebrows, "The dwarf is so cooperative?"
"The leader seemed to have some way to tell whether he was lying or not. I was on the periphery at the time and I'm not sure what method he used." said the team member.
Xi Lagui nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The team members left, and Xi Lagui and Shi Yali also walked out of the room.
……
Afternoon, Deacon's Study.
The door opened, and the captain of a team said, "Chief, Deacon, the captain of the Lingxi fleet is here."
The door was fully opened and a middle-aged man walked in.
Xi Lagui said: "Go and bring the investigator here."
"Yes!" The captain left, and the middle-aged captain bowed slightly, "Meet the Island Master Wuheng, Deacon Xilagui."
The tone is flat, and there is no sign of
Wu Heng looked at him and said, "Have we met before?"
"I've seen you, but you probably haven't seen me," the man said.
"So, we don't have any hatred, right?"
"The policies you have implemented on the island are the most outstanding I have ever seen as an administrator," the man said bluntly.
Wu Heng and the elf sisters all had surprise in their eyes.
It sounds like he has a pretty high opinion of Wu Heng.
The door opened and a team leader walked in with two investigators from the island.
"Deacon." The investigator saluted.
Xi Lagui said: "This person is involved in inciting the islanders and slandering the leader of the association. You should record it truthfully."
"Yes!" The investigator opened the notebook and stood aside.
Xilagui's eyes fell on the middle-aged man again and asked, "Dwarf Hayes, was it you who asked him to incite the island residents to protest the establishment of a sect in front of the church?"
"It's me!" the middle-aged man answered directly.
It seems that there is no intention of concealing or quibbling.
"Did you ask him to slander the Lingqi Church, saying that it would recruit a large number of evil professions, criminals and pagans?" Xi Lagui continued to ask.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "I just asked him to organize people to protest and establish a sect. It's up to him to decide how to do it and what to say."
Xi Lagui glanced at Wu Heng, who nodded, indicating that what he said was true.
"Who ordered you to do this?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Perhaps you think I don't have the courage to go against a leader, but it's true that no one is ordering me to do so."
Xilagui looked at Wu Heng again and nodded.
This sentence is also true.
Moreover, everything the other party said as soon as he came in was true, without any concealment.
Xi Lagui was even more curious, "Why do you do this? What's the benefit for you?"
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "I am a devout believer of the Church. I firmly believe in the character of the Island Master Wu Heng, but I just can't bear to see him establish a sect, a sect of necromancers."
Followers of the Vatican.
Things like faith can really make people behave in ways that are beyond their character.
Xi Lagui looked at the investigator and asked, "Did you record it?"
“It has been recorded,” the investigator said.
Xi Lagui continued to look at Wu Heng, "Chief, do you have anything else to ask?"
"That's it. Let's handle it according to the association's regulations." Wu Heng said.
"Take them away first. Seize all the ships of the Lingxi fleet. They are not allowed to leave the island until there is a result." Xilagui gave the order directly.
"Yes!" The captain took the man away.
The investigators also went back to sort out the records.
There were three people left in the room again.
Shi Yali said: "I didn't expect this result."
Xi Lagui also said, "I thought it was related to the Vatican, but I didn't expect that it would be a believer who did this."
"The Holy See is indeed very good at spreading faith," Wu Heng sighed.
The two sisters nodded in agreement. Sheila continued, "I have arranged for someone to guard the church entrance. You should prepare to open the door tomorrow."
Wu Heng smiled and said, "It has to be you. When our sect rises in the future, I will appoint you as a knight to protect the sect."
"I don't care about it."
Shi Yali came up and said, "What about me? Give me one too."
"Let you be the archbishop." Wu Heng said directly.
"Why should she be the archbishop? I must be a combat profession." Xilagui stood up suddenly and asked unwillingly.
Pa~!
Shi Yali patted her on the butt and said, "I'm your sister, why would you argue with me?"
Hum~!
Xilagui snorted and turned her head away.
Wu Heng chatted with the two sisters here for a while and then returned to the island owner's mansion.
Getting ready for the church to open tomorrow.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
The sunlight shines on the staggered roofs, giving the entire island a faint glow.
Squeak~!
There was a sound of door hinges straining, and the church door slowly opened.
The news of the Lingqi Cult had already spread on the island, and a large crowd had gathered outside the gate. The moment the gate opened, they all looked inside.
Treasure Island is different from other cities.
There is no strict hierarchy, and several major changes have caused quite a stir. The island owner's own church naturally attracted many people to visit.
Even the tradition of Treasure Island does not believe in these religions.
At the gate, Evelyn, wearing a priest robe and holding an ancient book in her hand, stood at the gate with a solemn expression and said loudly: "The only great leader Wu Heng created the order of life and death. He will give us a better life and guide us on the way forward."
