Chapter 186 Players Love Watching the World Burn
"The whole world is becoming increasingly chaotic. I have to find an opportunity to build a safe enough fortress."
Mo Cheng didn't think about going to any safe place. The keynote of the [Foreign Land] game was [freedom] and [chaos]. After all order was broken and the old rules were shattered, new things and new rules emerged from the chaos and turmoil.
Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or the First and Second World Wars.
The vortex beneath the horizontal surface has begun to gather, and all living things will inevitably be pulled into the crazy vortex, just as no one expected that the bullet shot at Archduke Ferdinand would become the fuse that started the First World War.
In this environment, although some places may enjoy temporary peace, they will eventually be drawn into the whirlpool of this world.
The sinkhole that will occur in Fairhaven in the near future can be regarded as a kind of warning. Even other countries will experience various strange events to a greater or lesser extent. At the same time, the waves caused by these events will accumulate and lurk in the dark.
Until the arrival of the players, all the conflicts, all the interests, and all the hatreds were like a powder keg with a lit fuse.
"Boom!"
The whole world started to burn.
The expelled, retired, hidden, and departed races have reappeared one after another, providing more and more comprehensive factors to the vortex of struggle in this world for the sake of old hatreds, past injustices, and even the uneven distribution of benefits.
Before the Eternal Night Demon appeared, everyone had a huge fight on the continent of Kovare.
As for the [Zhongyang Continent] across the coast, they are currently using the scenario of the Chronicles of the Warring States Period. When the national server is opened, it will be the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period with heroes competing for supremacy and princes vying for hegemony.
After cleaning up the Death Valley, Mo Cheng took the core of the bloody giant and disappeared without a trace. Then, while moving at high speed, he calmed the boiling dragon blood and continuously changed himself with seventy-two transformations to ensure that no one would see his true appearance.
It was already night when they returned to Albert's House. Everyone in Albert's House had gotten used to the fact that Priest Mo Cheng was not around all day. Of course, Sister Lonnie explained to everyone that Priest Mo Cheng did this in order to get orders from outside.
Although it seems a bit strange that a glorious priest goes out to collect orders instead of donations, but relying on the orders of the glimmering ointment, Albert House does not need to go back to the old drafty house where they slept, covered with leaky quilts, drank vegetable soup without vegetables, and ate black bread mixed with sawdust and gravel to help digestion.
Not long after Mo Cheng returned to Albert's House, there was a knock on his door.
"Come in."
The one who pushed the door open was Loni. She arrived at Albert House not long after Mo Cheng returned. "Everything has been arranged . With the help of Hardy's authority and the secret system of the Inquisition, our identities will be cleared in a short period of time."
"Thank you for your hard work." Mo Cheng nodded, " How are the two of them? Did they find any problems?"
"No, after confirming that you are Hadi, even if I behave a little differently, it is only because of the change of identity. The two of them are on standby in the villages outside Fairhaven. Do we need to deal with them now?"
She casually asked whether this issue needed to be [handled]. For Loni, she didn't have much affection for her colleagues in the Inquisition except for her adoptive father Albert.
It was as if Hardy had caught her, and even when she appeared in front of him as a slave later, these people did not ask any questions and were only responsible for the task.
In this case, Loni will naturally not be responsible for their lives. After completing their tasks, in order to prevent the news from leaking out, "dying in the line of duty" will be the final and best ending for David and Burton.
"No, they need to stay alive until this incident is over."
The exact goal of the Inquisition has not been figured out yet, and no one knows how the other party intends to proceed. Before figuring out the Inquisition's plan, Hardy's team cannot continue to lose people.
Otherwise, what will happen is that Hardy will be recalled to the rear. In this case, either Mo Cheng will disguise himself as Hardy and return to the rear of the Inquisition, and abandon the base in Fairhaven.
Or he would go against the orders of the Inquisition, and as a result, it would be discovered that Hardy was dead, and someone would become aware of the existence of the Inquisition.
Either way would put Mo Cheng in a passive position.
"The entire team is lying low for the time being. Anyway, we are only here to gain credits and merits in the Inquisition. It is normal for us to slack off. As for you..."
Mo Cheng tapped the handle of the chair lightly. "Do you know anything about the bishop of the Glorious Cathedral in Fairhaven?"
"He is a guy who has no future in the church . He has given up the idea of struggling. He has a good personal relationship with other nobles and a good reputation among the general public. His personal image and reputation are good enough, and the bishop is also happy with this."
If there was still a future for him in the church, he would not have been sent to the Principality of Aundair, a kingdom of mages. The success rate of developing believers here is more than twenty times that of other places.
The promotion of bishops in the Glorious Church is based on the proportion of believers in the area under their jurisdiction.
The proportion of believers in the entire Fairhaven is probably less than one thousandth.
And there may be even fewer people who truly follow the glorious teachings, rather than showing off as some kind of eccentricity.
"Investigate whether some bishops are members of the Inquisition. If not..."
Mo Cheng pondered for a moment, then continued, "If not, we'll have to prepare to use the formula of the Glimmering Ointment to exchange for something else."
Loni could naturally guess what the Bishop was going to exchange the formula for the Glimmering Ointment for, but she had another doubt, "I'm not sure if the Bishop would accept the formula for the Glimmering Ointment."
"No, he will accept it, and he won't compete with us for any benefits."
"Loni, you said something wrong." Mo Cheng said with a smile, "If our bishop really gives up struggling and enjoys his old age in this country, then why should he maintain his good reputation?"
There is no stain that can tarnish the nobles' private relationships, good reputation among the people, and even his personal image. If such a person is not a born saint, then he must be a person with extremely strong control and extremely strict control over his words and deeds.
In Mo Cheng's view, such an approach is by no means a sign of resignation. On the contrary, it is a sign of unwillingness, which is why he maintains a good reputation among all classes.
"Our Bishop is still unwilling to give up and plans to return to the church to fight for another round."
"Of course, this conclusion still needs to be investigated. The next step is your job."
