Chapter 61 You clap, I clap, the red-faced and white-faced fools you
An invitation from the Knights?
Even Mo Cheng, who was full of fighting spirit, was stunned after hearing this. If the Law Enforcement Corps' status in Fairhaven was regular armed police, then the Knights were equivalent to a combination of [CIB (Criminal Intelligence Bureau)] [O (Serious Crime Unit)] and [Flying Tigers].
The captains in the Knights Templar are all from noble families and have met the personal strength requirements. They can be said to be the private police of the nobles of the Principality of Aundair.
Moreover, their patrol activities are limited to the noble district and the central district, and they basically do not consider matters in other areas.
"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary priest and I don't plan to join the Knights."
They directly refused, and the reason was the most obvious identity issue. Based on the position of the Glorious Church, even if Mo Cheng dared to join the Knights Templar, the nobles would not be willing to let church personnel in.
"Really? Never mind then."
Ralph turned and left, without any intention of lingering or being wary of Mo Cheng, "I'm going to go check on the injuries of the team members. I'll leave this to you, Margaret."
Suddenly, Ralph stopped, turned around and threw something over. Mo Cheng took it and saw that it was a roaring lion emblem.
"That punch you threw just now was powerful. Priest, I really like your punch. You can come to the Knights' Order to practice with it when you have time."
Mo Cheng did not throw away the emblem, but kept it well. When necessary, he could use this emblem to bully others or to frame someone.
"I'm very sorry, Captain Ralph's behavior was too reckless." Margaret came up to explain.
"It's okay." Mo Cheng shook his head. Ralph didn't want to continue fighting, and his will to fight was gradually extinguished.
He rejected Ralph's invitation to join the Knights, and at the same time suppressed his will to continue fighting. He did not want to have any in-depth exchanges with the Knights at this time.
He was afraid that his fake identity would be discovered because he had too much contact with the Knights, an organization that could be regarded as the secret police of Fairhaven.
"I am Margaret, the leader of the Law Enforcement Corps. The person you killed earlier was a prisoner who escaped from a dangerous prison. You will be asked to claim the specific bounty at the Law Enforcement Corps headquarters later."
"I am Mo Cheng, a priest of the House of Albert, a member of the Licker Order of the Church of Radiance. May I ask how much the bounty on this fugitive is?"
Fighting to the death without leaving any spoils was really a losing deal for Mo Cheng. Now after hearing what Margaret said, he could only hope that the Principality of Andair would be generous enough to give more bounty.
After all, in the next period of time, his funding gap will only increase, not decrease.
"Priest Mo Cheng? You are..."
Margaret had never met Mo Cheng. She had only met Carl. Later, Edward was asked to take over the Weiguang ointment. She only knew the name of Albert House and its head, Reverend Mo Cheng, about the Weiguang ointment production factory.
"Captain Margaret, how effective is the Glimmer Ointment?"
Since he was able to ask about the Glimmer Ointment, then he must be right. The priest of the Church of Light who was close to the [Hero] level was just killed by him . He was the friend that the mage Carl mentioned.
"The effect of the shimmer ointment is very good. If possible, I would like to continue to increase the order."
The price of the Pharmacist Guild's healing potion is six times that of the Glimmer Ointment, but its effect is only 70% of that of the Glimmer Ointment or even less. For the financially tight law enforcement group, the choice of drug supplier is needless to say.
Moreover, as the person in charge of the production factory, Mo Cheng not only possesses unexpected strength, but the pure holy light in his hand can even regenerate severed limbs.
Although it is unclear why such a strong person would be short of money, he is undoubtedly the kind of person who can be well-connected.
"Increasing the order may not be able to meet your needs for the time being. We don't have enough staff, and it will take some time to increase production." Mo Cheng shrugged helplessly. For those people in Albert's House, the current production capacity is already the limit.
According to Mo Cheng's plan, the rebuilt Albert's House should rely on the shop to help sell the glimmer ointment, and at the same time form the entire street into an industrial chain to attract money.
This will then attract more people to work in assembly line factories.
As long as every part of the production is carefully broken down and everyone is responsible for a part, there will be no possibility of leakage of the timing and techniques for a long time.
But Mo Cheng's plan was interrupted by a sword from Naraka not long ago. The house that was cut vertically needed to be rebuilt, and the output in the short term could only maintain the current orders.
"The house we just built was hacked up by that guy. The house needs to be rebuilt before we can continue production."
Pointing at Naraka who had turned into ashes, Mo Cheng's face was filled with indignation, "I shot him through the ashes and it was too easy for him to die. I should have collected his ashes and mixed them with bricks and stones to build a building."
…
After a long time, Margaret said goodbye to Mo Cheng and walked back alone.
After walking for a while, we saw a tall figure leaning against a big tree on the side of the road. The hole on his back had healed for the most part, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
The two walked in silence and exchanged information.
"Mo Cheng, a priest of the House of Albert, a Licker Order under the Radiant Church. He is also the person in charge of the manufacturer that provides the Glimmer Ointment to my Law Enforcement Corps."
"The instant output is terrifying power beyond the average [Hero] level. Judging from his heart light body, the opponent is only at the [Elite] level. In addition, the purity of the holy light on his body is extremely high. Only the archbishop of the Fairhaven Glory Church is slightly higher than him. The recovery ability is also very strong. It takes only a few seconds to recover the broken arm while maintaining the corresponding combat effectiveness."
"What do you think?"
"He is a priest who is only at the Elite level but should be treated as a Hero. He is very good at using Holy Light for healing and can regenerate broken limbs faster than the Archbishop. No one in the Knights and the Law Enforcement Corps can suppress him except you and me. I suggest you recruit him as external aid. What do you think?"
"Priest Mo Cheng is short of money, and he obtains orders by providing the Law Enforcement Corps with the Glimmering Ointment. He doesn't seem to want to rely solely on his own strength to gain wealth. He is a bit like an ascetic of the Church of Glory, but I don't know much about this."
Margaret thought about it, and then concluded, "The Law Enforcement Corps will continue to maintain a good relationship with the Albert House. There is no need to send people to monitor it for the time being. Before today, no one even discovered the power of Priest Mo Cheng, which is enough to show his true nature."
"Sure." Ralph did not object, and said, "Your very useful ointment is made by the House of Albert, right? Give me half of the production. My men all say that the ointment distributed by the Law Enforcement Corps is very useful."
"Don't even think about it!"
Without even thinking, Margaret refused directly, "The Law Enforcement Corps doesn't even have enough for their own use. Let's use your special healing potion."
"Tsk, stingy woman."
"Also, Priest Mo Cheng asked me what the Knights should do. He said he planned to [practice] with you sometime, with the goal of breaking your hand."
"He's willing to come to me? That's even better! He'll like the environment of the Knights."
