"Doing business is the fastest way to make money!" Ray took the space bag and glanced at it. He was completely stunned. After a long time, he could not help but say, "Why don't we stop looking for people and concentrate on doing business all over the continent? I think that in three to five years, your wealth can be accumulated enough to buy a country! "
"Stop dreaming!" Sui Xiong laughed. "How can this kind of thing be done often! As a god, I abuse advanced teleportation to do business … I don't care about my reputation. Other gods can't agree to this kind of thing that breaks the rules. Think about it. Basically, a god can do this kind of thing. Why don't other gods do it? "
Ray thought about it, shook his head, and sighed.
He did not understand the world of gods, but what His Majesty Void Mask said was very reasonable.
This was like the royal family holding a knight competition, but His Highness the Prince himself participated in the competition. How inappropriate!
… Wait, this kind of thing, it seems … maybe … so familiar!
Touching his nose, he smiled a little awkwardly.
Early the next morning, they came to Knight Parne's house. This time, they were greeted not only by Mrs. Teague and her two daughters, but also more than a dozen young boys and girls.
There was some worry on their faces, but more hope. Seeing that there was hope to get rid of the debt, all of their eyes were a little nervous and anxious.
Ray did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "The money has been collected."
This was really concise and clear to the extreme, but the effect was very good. The eyes of the boys and girls suddenly all lit up, and even their breathing was a lot faster.
"Excuse me … What do you need us to do?" Asked an older, seemingly more mature young man. "Frankly speaking, if you really want to pay such a large amount of money for us, we will be very uneasy."
Ray nodded secretly and said with a smile, "Then this money is my investment in you. If you can grow up and become excellent people, then this investment is worth it. And if you are unlucky … then I am also unlucky. "
At first glance, this seemed to be quite reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, it was extremely heroic. It was nothing more than a variation of "let's make friends." Using a sum of money that was even heavier than a strong man to make friends with everyone, this was simply unbelievable!
"Sir, please don't make fun of us!" said the young man with a bitter smile. "Perhaps this sum of money is nothing to you. But to us it was a terrible sum which would have crushed us to the ground. We can't afford this kind of investment. It will make us unable to eat and sleep in peace! "
Ray wasn't in a hurry to answer. His gaze slowly swept across the boys and girls. From their faces and eyes, he could see that they were thinking the same thing.
He couldn't help but laugh again. "I'm very happy to know such a group of upright young people. So let's change to a way that can make you feel at ease … This money, even if it's an interest-free loan for an indefinite period. If necessary, I will add a little more so that you can grow up properly. When you are strong enough, you can slowly save up money to repay the debt. I believe that a mature adventurer would be able to repay this loan slowly. "
This time, the boys and girls all heaved a sigh of relief, and their expressions were obviously much more at ease.
"This group of boys and girls is really interesting!" Sui Xiong said with a smile in the telepathic connection. "Most people try their best to take advantage of others, but they don't take advantage of such a big advantage. Instead, they look as if they have been relieved of a heavy burden after bearing the debt …"
"This is an upright person! They are indeed the followers of the Knights of Creation! I can even infer from this how outstanding the elders who taught them must be! "Ray said with admiration and regret." What a pity! Such a group of excellent knights unfortunately died in the vast sea … "
Speaking of this matter, Sui Xiong was suddenly reminded. "Why don't we ask them? Maybe they will have some clues."
So Ray asked these young people about his doubts. Everyone seemed to be at a loss and said that they knew nothing about it. But Ray clearly saw a flash of coldness in the eyes of the young man who spoke as a representative. It seemed that he knew some special news, unlike others.
So when the boys and girls thanked him one after another and left with enough money to repay the debt, he also left and quietly followed the young man.
Soon after, he came to the young man's home.
It was a simple wooden house with four bare walls. Judging from the traces, many of the furniture should have been sold recently. It could be seen that the young man was almost at the end of his rope in order to repay the debt.
Although he was so embarrassed, he was able to gain everyone's trust and speak as a representative. Judging from the attitude of the people, his status in the small group of boys and girls was probably higher than that of Lic.
This was not easy! At least Ray felt that he probably did not have this ability.
For his visit, the young man did not feel surprised, and even had the mood to pour a glass of water for him.
"Sorry, now I have no servants, no food, and no wine here," he said. "Originally, according to my uncle's rules, when a friend comes to visit, he should bring wine. But a few days ago, I sold the last bottle of wine in the house, and now there is only water at home."
Although he said something very depressing, he laughed very cheerfully, without any haze. "My name is Zesheng. A few months ago, I still had the surname 'Xiyu,' but now it's gone. The manor and the fief have been sold … May I ask your name?"
"Ray, just call me Ray," Ray said with a smile. "Surnames are actually just that. It's good to inherit the surname of the ancestors, but it's better to create your own surname and let others inherit it. I believe you will be the latter. "
"Haha! Mr. Ray, you really think too highly of me! "Zesheng laughed very happily.
After laughing, he began to tell the information he knew.
Originally, he did not know more than others, but when he sold the manor and the fief, he accidentally learned some unusual news.
It was said that before the chief priest of the Church of the God of Aristocracy set sail, he had arranged a successor, and even left several of the most important powerful magic tools in the local temple, and almost went on the ship with his bare hands.
Because of this, Zesheng specifically went to the only survivor on the ship to ask about it. Coincidentally, almost everyone had a deep impression of the chief priest. Even those who had not seen him before clearly remembered how he died — it was when they met Timsar. At that time, the chief priest held up the sacred emblem of the God of Aristocracy and prayed loudly. His body shone brightly and even blocked the erosion of the decaying shadow for a time.
Although he only resisted for a short time and was soon swallowed up by the swarming darkness and decay, he died tragically in the hands of Timsar. But it was because of his efforts that the attention of the horrible monster was attracted, and the only surviving ship was able to escape.
It was also because of this that no one suspected that the Church of the God of Aristocracy was playing tricks — to doubt a warrior who sacrificed himself to save others, that was something only the most insane person could do!
However, Zesheng felt something wrong from the description of the survivors — in the face of such a horrible monster like "Dark Tide" Timsar, why could a chief priest only use such obvious and simple means to fight against it? And as a priest of the evil God, why would he sacrifice himself to save others?
This was not reasonable, too unreasonable!
He secretly asked the priest of the God of Knights what a powerful chief priest should do when he encountered a monster like Timsar.
The priest answered after pondering, "If it were me, I would pray for the grace of the God of God and detonate all the divine power I have accumulated over the years, and try to give the monster a heavy blow at the risk of being smashed to pieces."
"You are a good priest, but what if you are an evil priest?" Zesheng continued to ask at that time.
"Evil priests are the same. A good priest has to protect others, and an evil priest has to attack the enemy. Although the starting point is different, there will be no difference in the final choice, "the priest answered without thinking.
So, Zesheng's doubts deepened.
Why on earth did the chief priest of the God of Aristocracy choose such a brilliant way to fight, but not much help? Why didn't he choose to self-destruct?
He thought about it and finally came to one conclusion.
The reason why the chief priest did that was to slightly save some people and let those people clearly see how they died, so that they would not doubt himself and the Church of the God of Aristocracy.
As for why he wanted everyone not to doubt himself and the Church, there could only be one conclusion.
Everything was a pre-arranged conspiracy!
His story ended here. During the whole process, Ray did not say a word and listened quietly. Only after listening to the whole story did he ask a question after some thinking.
"… That is to say, all this is actually your speculation, and there is no reliable evidence?"
"Yes, I don't have any evidence," Zesheng said with a bitter smile. Zesheng smiled bitterly and said, "If this is a conspiracy, then there shouldn't be many people involved. Maybe only the merchant uncle who organized this voyage … But he is also dead, and he died at sea together with his housekeeper. Even if I want to investigate, I can't find out. "
Ray frowned. Just as Zesheng had said, if this was the conspiracy of the chief priest of the Church of the God of Aristocracy, then this conspiracy was too ruthless. In order to preach, the chief priest had not only sacrificed his partners, but he had also sacrificed himself.
To investigate such a conspiracy, at least in the Golden Tower City, he was afraid that there would not be any clues.
"Maybe … How about discussing it with Aunt Teague?" Seeing him frown, Zesheng advised, "When my uncle was still alive, whenever he had any problems, he often looked for Uncle Parne and Aunt Teague to discuss it. He once said that Aunt Teague was a very intelligent and talented person. Although she lacked some long-term vision, when she had a set goal, she could often draw up a very good plan, or find problems and loopholes that others did not find. "
Ray was slightly stunned. "Then why didn't you ask before?"
"It was not necessary before," Zesheng said with a bitter smile. "At that time, Aunt Teague could not even protect herself. Even if I told her these news, what use could it be except to make her worry in vain?"
Ray sighed and accepted his advice.
Soon after, he visited Knight Parne's house again and told her about Zesheng's information.
