Han Jin had already set the tone for the upcoming war, and Han Jin had clearly explained the basic nature of the alliance between the elves and the orcs. The internal differences had completely disappeared. Next, Guevara explained what had happened in the Holy Crown City recently. Because there was no suitable candidate, Guevara could only temporarily take over the government affairs of the Holy Crown City. Jeddes was busy with the Holy See, and Majordomo Gail was not good at handling these matters. Only Guevara had the most experience.
After almost everything was said, Han Jin waved to Schumann. Schumann hurriedly stood up and walked over with a smile. This did not mean that Schumann was a flatterer. As an ordinary small noble and a magistrate in a small city, he was suddenly promoted to such a high position and was allowed to attend the highest meeting. Schumann felt a little awkward, but it was always right to smile when meeting people.
"Have you investigated it clearly?" Han Jin asked softly.
"Well …" Schumann could not help but glance around.
"Go ahead, it's okay."
"My lord, the first few days of the interrogation, the woman said nothing. Later, an assassin suddenly broke into the prison and wanted to kill her. Fortunately, Lord Gail …"
"It has nothing to do with me." Majordomo Gail smiled. He did not want to take the credit, "It was Raphael who asked me to protect you and the prisoner."
Schumann's eyes suddenly widened. He stared at Han Jin blankly. After a while, he reacted and said in a grateful voice, "Thank you, my lord …"
"And then?" Han Jin waved his hand and asked.
"We caught the assassin. The prisoner felt desperate and told the truth." Schumann whispered, "My lord, things are much more complicated than we expected! It has something to do with the secret treasure of Morgan & Co.! "
"The secret treasure of Morgan & Co.!?" Han Jin was stunned.
"Yes, my lord." Schumann said, "Before, I didn't understand why Dismark wanted to kill Morgan & Co. If it was because he coveted the wealth of Morgan & Co. … this reason was a bit far-fetched. Morgan & Co. was indeed very rich. In the nearby area, no business group could compare with Morgan & Co., including Dismark and his former lord. Morgan & Co., had provided them with huge taxes. Would they kill a hen for an egg?" Schumann's words were mostly nonsense, but in order to show his talent, these nonsense were necessary.
Han Jin just smiled and did not interrupt Schumann.
"What's more, Morgan & Co.'s wealth is not concentrated in the Holy Crown City. They have branches in almost every city. Dismark suddenly attacked Morgan & Co., but he only massacred the headquarters of Morgan & Co., and did not send people to rob the other branches. This is even more unreasonable."
"Now I understand that Morgan & Co., has secretly collected a divine artifact, the Glorious Battle Robe!" Schumann said word by word.
"Glorious Battle Robe? The set of Holy Armament?! "Guevara was stunned.
"Yes, my lord." Schumann could not help but glance at the Knight's Shield on Han Jin's left arm. "Morgan & Co., had secretly collected the Glorious Battle Robe a long time ago, but the news was leaked out. You know, Dismark had already obtained the Lion King's Shield. Of course, he wanted to get the rest of the sets. He came forward to buy them from Morgan & Co., but he was rejected. Then … some things inevitably happened."
"However, it seems that Dismark did not get the Glorious Battle Robe." Guevara said. If Dismark really had two divine artifacts, he would have to spend a lot of effort in the battle that day.
"Yes." Schumann replied.
"What else did you find out?" Han Jin asked.
"My lord, we should be facing a very large and secretive organization. When Dismark was in power, they secretly competed with Dismark for the Glorious Battle Robe. Now … I think they do not lack the same courage."
Han Jin was silent for a moment. "Do you need help?"
"Not for the time being, but I can at most find out their whereabouts. If they really want to do something, I can't do anything."
"I'll leave this matter to you. When the time comes … you can come to me directly."
"Understood, my lord." Shu Man bowed and retreated.
"You two, aren't you tired of sitting like that?" Han Jin's gaze fell on Lesili and Loraine, and he joked.
Lesley and Loraine were still sitting there, motionless. They were afraid that they would embarrass the Capital of Elements and Yalina if they did anything wrong. Hearing Han Jin's words, everyone burst into laughter, but the laughter was kind.
Lesili and Loraine's faces were a little red, and they looked at Han Jin with a reproachful gaze.
"There are still some people here who don't know you. Stand up and introduce yourselves." Han Jin smiled.
"My name is Lesili, a Water Grand Magician. From now on, we will be partners." Lesili stood up first.
"My name is Loraine, a Fire Grand Magician. Please take care of me." Loraine then smiled.
Everyone was a little stunned. In terms of personality, Lesley was the extroverted type, passionate and unrestrained, while Loraine's personality was more reserved. In terms of feeling, Lesley should be a fire magician, but in the end, they were the complete opposite.
"Is there anything else? If there's nothing else, then you can leave. " Han Jin smiled. "Yalina, go pick two rooms for Lesili and Loraine and arrange them."
"Okay." Yalina stood up and pulled Lesili and Loraine towards the stairs.
"Stillberg."
"Young Master, I'm here." Stillberg hurriedly replied.
"You should prepare in the next few days. Before the war breaks out, you should settle your marriage with Miriam. Otherwise, who knows when it will be delayed again."
Guevara, Majordomo Gail, and the others all smiled. Morrisons and the other young people simply jeered. Stillberg's face turned red, and he stuttered and didn't know what to say.
"Majordomo Gail," Han Jin said again.
"Me?" Majordomo Gail was stunned.
"If you have something to do, hurry up and deal with it. Come to my place tonight, we need to go out."
"Okay." Majordomo Gail nodded.
"Everyone, go do what you need to do. Dismissed." Han Jin stood up.
With a plop, little Gold Bolt jumped down from the side of the ship. It had been waiting for a long time. Its intelligence was much higher than its peers. When it saw that everyone was gathered together, it knew that Han Jin wouldn't have time to deal with it, so it stood quietly on the side of the ship. When it saw Han Jin stand up, Lang Ning, Yalin, and Sanret walking towards the gangway, it knew that its time was up. It hurriedly rushed towards Han Jin.
In fact, little Gold Bolt was already taller than Han Jin, but it was like a child. It lowered its head and rubbed its sharp beak on Han Jin's chest intimately, and even let out a low cry.
"Raphael, without you here, the little ones are too difficult to manage." Guevara laughed. "Last time, the orc shamans provoked us, and we let the little ones fly out to fight. In the end, it almost led to a disaster."
"A disaster?"
"Yes, the little ones' desire to fight is much stronger than ours. They didn't want to come back once they flew out. If it wasn't for Hogan controlling the gargoyles to block their flight path, the little ones would definitely have challenged the thousands of thunderbirds."
"Next time, I'll try to make Harley stay." Han Jin smiled as he stroked Gold Bolt's head.
Gold Bolt squinted its eyes. It seemed to be enjoying the touch.
"Okay, go back to your seats." Han Jin stretched out his finger and flicked Gold Bolt's beak. He saw Chipango's eyes and knew that he had something to say.
As he walked down the stairs, Chipango quietly followed behind him. Han Jin pushed open a door, and Chipango closed the door behind him. He whispered, "Sir."
"What's the progress?"
"Sir, I've already controlled a cardinal. His name is Haystack. Sir Jeddes has promoted a total of four cardinals to be his assistants, and Haystack is one of them."
"How did you do it?" Han Jin sat on a chair and asked slowly.
"It's all thanks to Guevara and Hallister's help." Chipango smiled proudly. "More than a month ago, Sir Guevara invited Jeddes and a dozen other cardinals to a Night of Bliss …"
"Jeddes would go to that kind of place?" Han Jin was a little surprised. Although the followers of the Church of Light were allowed to get married, having sexual intercourse and getting married were two different things. Some of the followers of the Church of Light who enjoyed sex would rather have a large number of maids at home than go to such places, because it would tarnish their reputation.
"Sir Guevara personally invited them. How could they not give him face?" Chipango chuckled.
"Go on."
"After careful observation by Hallister and I, we found that the other cardinals were able to control their emotions. Only Haishe kept looking at the elves. In the end, when he left, he was reluctant to leave. Therefore, I locked my target on him."
"Okay, go on," Han Jin replied faintly.
"After a few days, I kept following Haystack, but he didn't go to the Night of Bliss again. I think … maybe it's because the elves are too reserved, allowing him to retain enough self-control," Chipango said proudly. Chipango said proudly, "I thought of a way. I went to Ronning and asked for four Sirens of the Abyss. Haha … One of them was still a virgin. Then I bought a small house and arranged for the four Sirens of the Abyss to live there. I gave the house to Haishizi under the pretense that I needed his help."
"And then?"
"And then, Haystack got together with the four Sirens of the Abyss," Chipango said with a smile. Chipango grinned and said, "Haishiz used to be very diligent in his work for Jeddis, but now he's running back to his nest even before the sky turns dark. My lord, this guy will definitely listen to us. If he dares to disobey us and spread the news of him copulating with an Abyssal Demon … Then his reputation will be ruined!"
If he had heard Chipango's report before going to the Capital of Elements, he would have been very satisfied. However, what he saw now was Chipango's superficiality.
"Chipango, have you been in contact with Haystack?" Han Jin asked softly.
"Not at the moment. I'm going to let him know the truth in the next few days. I'll also let him understand that he has to change masters."
"Chipango, what you're doing is wrong." Han Jin shook his head.
"Ah … Sir, what did I do wrong?" Chipango was stunned. His proud expression immediately disappeared.
"There are many ways to make someone listen to you. Threats and threats are the lowest," Han Jin said softly.
"Then what should I do?"
"Think about it yourself. Think about it now." Han Jin smiled. "It just so happens that I still have some time."
Chipango hesitated for a moment, then said tentatively, "Give him more benefits, or … give him a future? Only then can he sincerely rely on us. However, sir, I can't give him any promises. He won't believe what I say either. I need you to step in. "
"Using benefits as a bond is indeed much stronger than your first method." Han Jin smiled. "But it's not the strongest. Today, he can help you and us for benefits. Tomorrow, he can betray us for benefits. Do you understand?"
"Then … Then what should I do?" Chipango smiled bitterly.
"If you understand the history of the Church of Light, you'll find that the baptism process for every believer is more or less the same. Even Jeddis is included." Han Jin paused. "They ask themselves and others to believe in God and believe in God's justice. They search for and reflect on the stains of humanity every moment. In their words, this is the baptism of the soul, the baptism of the highest sense. When they get used to this, their code of conduct, right and wrong, etc. are all locked into a fixed pattern. They don't allow themselves or their companions to have any strange ideas, and they don't allow any part of their body, including their soul, to stretch out of the cage where they are imprisoned. Otherwise, it would be considered a betrayal. I have a word for this, brainwashing, do you understand?"
Chipango's expression was blank and silly. He understood some of it, but he also didn't understand some of it.
"Using four Abyssal Sirens in a short month against decades of inertia. Do you really think we can win?" Han Jin smiled. "Alright, even if we win, have you thought about his situation? We're not believers. If he joins us and listens to us, it'll undoubtedly force him to betray his faith and God! He'll be in a lot of pain and even go crazy. He might tear everything apart. At the very least, he'll be able to exchange his life for the final pure land. "
"Sir … I …" Chipango didn't know what to say.
"Also, even if his will is incomparably strong, withstanding all kinds of torture, and is willing to serve us, will he … still have the energy to strengthen his position?" Han Jin said slowly. "You just said that he doesn't know the truth yet, but he's already alienated himself from the church for the sake of the four Abyssal Sirens. Is this really what you want? Do you think Jeddis will put an important position in a cardinal who's becoming more and more lazy?! When he's abandoned, his right to speak will be weak. Let me ask you, what's the use of paying such a high price to recruit a piece of trash? "
Chipango was still in a daze. For him, Han Jin's words were too profound, and he couldn't keep up.
"Moreover …" Han Jin narrowed his eyes. "There are many people in this world who forget righteousness for the sake of profit, who are tough on the outside but weak on the inside. They are like the grass on the top of the wall, never having their own persistence. Hehe … Therefore, a blade of grass can never grow into a tree! But I want to tell you, Haiskel is definitely not such a person! To be able to become a cardinal and be valued by Jeddes, he must have gone through a lot of tests. At the very least, his ability, wisdom, and devout faith were all recognized by his peers. Otherwise, how could he have become a cardinal?! Yes, he's now infatuated with the Abyssal Sirens, but this is only temporary. It won't be long before he wakes up from this infatuation. When that time comes, what will you do to remedy it? "
"Sir, then … what should I do?" Chipango's head was covered in cold sweat. He thought he would definitely win Han Jin's praise, but in the end, he was reprimanded for nothing.
"It's very simple. For people like him who live in inertia for a long time, we have to follow his inertia. Not only do we have to make his body happy, but we also have to let his soul find sustenance." Han Jin smiled. "For example, let the four Abyssal Sirens believe in the Church of Light. After all, they don't have any religion, right? Let Haiskel's sense of justice and mission be perfectly vented. Let him sublimate his soul. Copulating with the Abyssal Sirens is not just to vent his lust, but a kind of redemption, a great redemption. Only then will he truly treat the four Abyssal Sirens as his own. Only then will he have the motivation to protect and persevere. "
Chipango was once again dumbfounded. He never thought that just developing a spy would be so complicated.
"Actually, there are many ways to achieve the same effect. The one you chose is the stupidest way. If there's a chance, bring the four Abyssal Sirens out. I'll talk to them myself. " Han Jin pondered for a moment. "We don't need to control Haiskel directly. As long as we can control the Abyssal Sirens, we can control him. Do you understand? Of course, first of all, we have to let him accept his own joy and choice without any regrets. The most effective way is to put him in a noble position. "
"Sir, I need to … go back and think about it carefully." Chipango smiled bitterly.
"Okay." Han Jin nodded. "By the way, Chipango, have you contacted the three Saint Knight?"
"I tried to talk to Master Guevara, but he didn't want me to contact them." Chipango carefully observed Han Jin's expression. "Master Guevara said that the three Saint Knight's faith is firm, and they have a good relationship with each other. It's hard for them to be persuaded."
"Master Guevara's conclusion is a bit arbitrary." Han Jin smiled. "No one can be perfect. Even gods can't be perfect, let alone humans! If there's a flaw, there must be a flaw. As long as we can find the corresponding solution. "
"Sir, do you have a solution?"
"Let's talk about it later. I have to go out tonight." Han Jin waved his hand.
