Chapter 8 Plan ahead

Sister Talina, who was standing beside her, showed an extremely strange look on her face. She almost used all her strength to resist the twitching of the muscles on her face. She once suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Dark Moon was on her, so she must have heard it wrong. What was the priest thinking to find the creditor who came to collect debts to borrow money.

However, the nun just kept a religious smile and stood aside, not intending to say anything inappropriate. It was not only Lisa who was conquered by Shure in recent years, but at least she was also her.

Since Bishop Summer's death, Bishop Lisa was unable to take charge at a young age, and all the burdens were on the shoulders of Talinna and another nun Meria. It took only half a year for the two of them to collapse under pressure.

At the most difficult time, Lisa and Shul appeared. In four years, the two witnessed the problems that were about to drive them crazy with their own eyes. How to solve them one by one under Shul's random handling. The two could clearly feel that under Shul's guidance, the church is slowly changing in a better direction, and things are gradually getting on track.

The two had already made up their minds. No matter how difficult things Shuer did, even if they kept complaining, they would cooperate with each other, because they already understood that sometimes, things that people can do are really different.

Therefore, Talinna always remained silent and expressed her support for Shuer with practical actions, but her inner thoughts...haha.

Looking for the creditor to collect the accounts to borrow another huge sum of money? This is too much. Unless the other party has a broken mind, he will only think that this is teasing him.

The nun rolled his eyes secretly and looked at Lord Lisa. Sure enough, Lord Lisa didn't find it strange at all. He actually looked at the creditor with anticipation. Alas, Lord Lisa, please wake up. That is the famous old fox Marquis. Even if he is really demented in twenty or thirty years, he will not agree to such excessive requests.

"Okay, six thousand gold coins." The Marquis of Ruben's eyes flashed, and he didn't even pause for a second, and then nodded as usual, "I'll send you here later."

Ha? I promised? The kind Dark Moon, please embrace your believers with your outward light so that I can recover from my soberness. The nun thinks that something must have happened, either the world is wrong or the problem itself is wrong.

"This is an IOU." Shuer pushed the paper he had just been writing to the opposite side, "I have signed my name."

Swish, the Marquis swept it quickly and put his seal on without hesitation.

"Look, the problem has been solved." Without taking a look at the loan note, Shuer handed it to Tallinna, "You can receive the gold coins later, don't forget to give the loan note to others. In addition, I think the muscles on your face are a little cramped. Let's do this. I allow you to go out and relieve your emotions. By the way, the second cabinet on the left side of the warehouse is my dedicated storage cabinet. Take a wooden box from it. There is only one, you can tell at a glance."

Scroll away the nun lady who had been driven crazy by reality, and Shul patted Lisa's head: "Do you understand?"

"No." The girl pouted and shook her head, "I understand the front, but the last two steps..."

"Haha, my Lisa is indeed the smartest child, it's enough to understand it before." Pinching the girl's fat little face, Shuer was obviously in a good mood. Even when facing the creditor, he could show a bright smile from the bottom of his heart. "I've disappeared for a while, Old Marquis, I'm very happy to meet again."

"Are you really happy?" The old man stroked his beard and smiled like a fox. "Why didn't I see it? When you saw me, I only felt unexpected and upset, but I didn't feel happy."

"Of course I'm happy, otherwise who will I borrow money from? The Lord said, treat those who have helped you well and be grateful." Shur could always talk a few words from the temple as a cover, "But you are right, and I found that you are also one of these people. I was really surprised and I had a headache."

"Oh? Why?" the old man asked leisurely.

"To be honest, I never thought you would appear here. I always felt that you, the troublemaker, is the master messenger behind the scenes, with the intention of solving the trouble of the Dark Moon Temple's God-owned territory as soon as possible, so as to save us from occupying it. Other churches are still thinking about it. In the past few years, you may be entangled by the temples that want to enter the city a few days later. If I were you, I would have smashed them with one blow and a quiet place."

"I don't dare to do this."

This is true. Even ordinary people are nobles, they dare not easily provoke high-level warriors, especially these warriors are still attendants of gods. Even the emperors of the three empires must maintain sufficient respect when facing high-ranking priests, not to mention that Anderson is just a marquis.

On the other hand, even if the high-level warriors have left the mortal realm with half their feet, they are not willing to easily challenge secular power. After all, although power may not necessarily threaten their lives, it can seriously affect their normal life. This is a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, warriors often maintain a tacit understanding between secular powers, leaving enough room for each other. Obviously, Shuer said this to remind the other party of the subtle differences between the identities of the two.

"So, until I entered this room, I treated you as my opponent behind the scenes." Everyone was smart. Since the other party made a vague expression of weakness, Shuer also changed the topic. "Along the way, I have been thinking about how to deal with the troubles you have caused."

"What about now?"

"Now? Ha, it's even more troublesome now." Shure said with a lip sneer, "The person who should have been behind the scenes suddenly jumped to the front stage. The only possible explanation is that the person who is more troublesome is standing behind the scenes."

"The mortals who can make you charge forward, the capital of Rose, no, it should be said that the entire Kingdom of Kora will not exceed three. Among these three, it is easy to say that the irrelevant things are easy to say, but this kind of thing that is likely to cause an hostility to a few True God Churches can make you come forward, and there is only one left. Apart from the Grand Duke of Rose, I can't think of anyone else who can let you obey orders."

"So, do you think it was Erics who instructed me?"

"No, it will never be Duke of Rose." Shur shook his head affirmatively.

"Why? Because the sixth generation of Rose Duke is a believer of Dark Moon?"

"Don't joke, who would care about what happened a thousand years ago?" Shuer curled his lips. After more than ten generations, not to mention a noble family with relatively indifferent feelings, even if they were just ordinary people, they would not be affected by the beliefs of a certain ancestor. "The Duke of Rose will not interfere in this matter, it is entirely because of you."

"The Duke knows that you have rejected all real power positions and accepted only a laborious job that is often unpleasant on both sides. On the one hand, it is to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it is to suppress your family forces and give up enough nutrients for the growth of the rose seedlings of the next generation and the next generation. He always feels that he owe you, but he does need you to do so."

"In order to make up for your debt, he will never point fingers at the affairs you are responsible for, nor will he allow others to do so. This is the only way he can compensate you."

"Erics just always thinks too much, but in fact he has done enough." Marquis Ruben was a little disappointed and admitted Sul's guess indirectly, "But if it weren't for Erics, wouldn't it be inconsistent with your judgment?"

"No contradiction, because I thought of a problem." Xiuer said leisurely, "You are also a human being."

"Thank you for your affirmation." The old marquis was not happy or angry.

"No, you misunderstood. I mean, you are also human, and you have your own beliefs. After all, creatures like unbeliever are rare." Unbeliever is indeed rare. Not only are they often isolated, but they have nowhere to go after death. They can only endure endless pain outside the gate of the underworld until they completely disappear. "So, although no one in the mortals can let you come forward except Grand Duke Rose, it is different to involve the realm of the gods. If a church of a god who you devoutly believes in seeks help from you, I hope you can come forward to face our pressure, I don't think you will refuse."

"Speaking of this, I haven't found out yet, which god is the most devout faith of the Marquis?"

"Hahaha." The old marquis smoked his pipe without saying a word, just chuckling softly. Of course he would not answer such words. Answering would be like betraying the temple behind him. He had no intention of giving up his faith.

"But it doesn't matter. No matter how big the trouble is, it's not impossible to solve. At least now, it doesn't matter who you represent." Shuer pushed over the other two pieces of written paper on the table, "Come on, sign this contract too."

"Huh?" After glanced at it, the old Marquis frowned. The contract was written very simply, but it was also scary. It probably had only one meaning, including the six thousand gold coins borrowed today. All debts in the name of members of the Ruben family before the contract was signed, and the handling of the loan note will be carried out later.

After twisting his beard and pondering for a while, the Marquis of Ruben decisively stamped the seal.

"You really dare to sign." Xiuer smacked his tongue gently, feeling that the little hand holding his hand became tide and trembling slightly.

Although Lisa didn't know the specific amount, she knew it must be a huge debt, five thousand or eight thousand? Could it be ten thousand? The girl had never dreamed of so many gold coins in her dream, so it was no wonder she was so excited.

"Why don't you dare? Don't forget, I have been observing the affairs of the sacred realm. I have been in the Rose Capital for four years. Others may not know what you have done, but I know your abilities best." The old Marquis said calmly with his pipe in his mouth, "You look only twenty-three or four years old, but are you really that young? I have never believed it very much. Haha, no matter what you say, your style and means when doing things are very similar to many of my old friends. This is something that cannot be disguised."

"In your style, since I write it and let me sign it, there must be a trump card that is enough to force me to sign, otherwise you will not be humiliated. In this case, instead of delaying it until the end, you should sign it quickly and let you open the trump card as soon as possible."

"Uh, I'm very satisfied with you so happy. The problem is that I signed too quickly and haven't received the trump card yet. I think you are deliberately making things difficult for me." Shuer scratched his head in distress, which caused the old man to laugh. There was no doubt that he had already thought that Shuer asked Talinna to get the trump card, so he signed the trump card before he came over to embarrass Shuer, which was a small revenge.

"Dangdang." Fortunately, Tallinna's knock on the door relieved Shul's troubles, and the nun walked in with a long wooden box.
