Pushing forward and being invincible: starting from adding points in the dream

Chapter 222 The Church and the Mermaid
"Finally gone."

At the port, watching the fleet belonging to the palace guard leave.

Dressed in gentleman's attire, the brown-haired young man named Lund Charles looked relaxed for the first time.

After all, he is an alchemist trusted by the king. If he really finds out about their factory, there will inevitably be bad effects.

"Father, we have stopped working for several days, and many orders have not been completed."

“You see this factory?”

Lund asked, and the brown-haired middle-aged man in a silk robe withdrew his gaze from the sea and nodded slightly.

"Then go ahead and try to finish it as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Lund nodded, but soon saw Duke Charles speaking again.

"How is the investigation into Toole going?"

"We have already started the investigation, father." Lund replied respectfully, "There were more than 30 fleets docked at the port during that period, but because Master Adler was also there, I have not sent too many people out in the past few days."

"I'll order more people to be sent in a moment."

"Well, hold on tight."

Nodding slightly, Duke Charles turned and walked towards the carriage.

A cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

He was very curious about who dared to go against their Charles family.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

The carriage continued to move forward on the smooth road, and the sound of horse hooves rose melodiously.

This is an open carriage with open seats that can only accommodate two or three people.

"My Lord, are you also the captain?"

On the way, Trin asked curiously while driving the carriage.

"No."

Chen Feng shook his head and the other party said "oh".

The two of them remained silent, and Chen Feng glanced at both sides of the street.

There were ragged homeless people kneeling on the roadside begging, and occasionally you could see horse manure that had not been cleaned up on the roadside.

During this time, a coughing sound was heard, and Chen Feng couldn't help but look towards the factory in the distance.

The black chimneys rose straight into the sky. He thought for a moment and then asked.

"Has this Sack factory stopped working?"

"Yes, my lord."

"The factory was shut down last Monday. It seems that there was some problem with the production equipment."

Telin hurriedly explained, and Chen Feng knew that more than ten days had passed in this world.

"A lot of people are complaining. After all, when the factories are shut down, they have no income."

"Our family has also been affected because the workers will not dirty their clothes if the work stops."

Terlin subconsciously talked about his family, and Chen Feng learned that he had a mother and a younger sister.

My father died from a fall at an early age and didn't leave much behind.

In order to take care of her younger sister, her mother usually helps with laundry at home.

Chen Feng was silent. No wonder the other party had to come out to make a living at such a young age.

"We have arrived, my Lord!"

Trin called out suddenly, as the garden district townhouses came into view.

A passerby looked over curiously. Lei Long happened to be in the garden of the townhouse. He saw him at a glance and hurried to greet him.

"Lord Fengchen!"

He was wearing a thick grey sweater and his beard was neatly groomed, as if he was at home with his daughter, Andy.

Chen Feng nodded, got off the carriage, and then signaled to Terlin beside him with his eyes.

"Sir, I don't want any money!"

Terin realized what he meant, and after greeting Leilon with admiration, he quickly turned around and climbed onto the carriage, wanting to whip it and leave.

"Why are you running, kid?"

Lei Long pretended to be dissatisfied and stepped forward to grab him.

At the same time, he stuffed a dozen copper coins and a hidden silver coin into the pocket of the other person's mended clothes.

"Lord Leilong, I..." Terin said with a flushed face. He tried to break free and take out the coins in his pocket.

But before he could react, Lei Long suddenly slapped the black horse's butt, scaring it away.

"Hahaha, boy Terlin, you look so embarrassed driving the carriage!"

Loud laughter echoed, and most of the passers-by who were attracted by it just smiled and didn't pay much attention.

Chen Feng saw Lei Long's intention.

A dozen copper coins are fine, but one silver coin is enough for a family of three here to live a normal life for a month.

The other party obviously didn't want others to see him doing something irrational out of jealousy.

"Haha, sir, I checked this kid Terlin before."

"It's not easy, please don't laugh at me."

Lei Long explained, Chen Feng nodded, and naturally didn't say more.

Afterwards, the two walked into the iron gate and came to the garden downstairs of the townhouse.

The flowers inside were well taken care of, and there was an obvious cluster of small white flowers.

"uncle."

Little Andy, with slightly curly hair, was originally curled up in a recliner, covered with a blanket and taking a nap, but she woke up at this moment.

"uncle!"

The uncertain cry became a little brighter, and she threw back the blanket and trotted over amid the maid's exclamation.

"Anti."

Chen Feng smiled and rubbed the other person's head.

"Uncle, those little flowers are all smiling, as if they all know that you like them very much."

Little Andy pointed with a smile at the cluster of white flowers swaying in the breeze.

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, reflecting the innocence of the child.

Then, amid the children's laughter, he and Lei Long walked into the house and came to the study.

The coffee was brought by the maid and the door was closed.

Lei Long asked curiously, "Sir, how long do you plan to stay in Banli Port this time?"

After leaving without saying goodbye twice in a row, he mistakenly thought that Chen Feng was exploring nearby or was busy with other important matters.

"Six or seven days."

Chen Feng said casually, taking a sip of coffee.

It was a bit bitter and not to his taste.

"I came to you this time mainly to know how the mermaid matter is going?"

The coffee was put down, and Lei Long saw him frown slightly.

"I have a clue, sir. I heard that a mermaid was seen at the port, escaping from the fleet."

"Because I thought I had seen it wrong, I kept silent."

"Later I discovered that the fleet he saw was probably the same one we encountered in Fishman Bay."

Lei Long was a little worried. He suspected that there was a big shot in Banly Port behind this fleet.

Duke Charles, Count Thoroldo, and several other nobles and factory owners.

Chen Feng nodded, knowing that these things were not so easy to investigate.

He had to wait patiently, and then he asked about the church in this world, especially the God of Storms.

The gifted light group on Falling Eagle Island was related to the storm, and so were the rumors there, so he had to pay more attention to it.

"The nine righteous gods joined forces to seal the evil god, and then fell into a deep sleep."

"Both the Storm Church and the Frost Church have branches in Banly Harbor, each with a bishop and more than a dozen believers."

Lei Long explained and said that he was actually also a believer of the God of Storms.

Chen Feng became interested.

After some polite conversation, he roughly understood the reason.

It is rumored that the sequence power of this world was first passed down by gods to allow the church to spread extraordinary knowledge.

God loves the world and is also the creator of every sequence.

So generally speaking, every sequencer is a believer of the corresponding sequence god.

It’s just that some people have a very deep faith, while others have a weaker faith.

As for whether to join the church, it is entirely up to personal choice, and not everyone can join.

Chen Feng was thoughtful after hearing this, and even had a bit of an absurd thought. Could the god here be one of the evil gods?

If you get close to its believers, can you obtain the corresponding power of the evil god?

No one could give an answer. After talking with Lei Long, Chen Feng decided to take some time to visit the Storm Church.

Five days later.

Chen Feng left the Storm Church and the Frost Church successively.

After some attempts, he did not obtain the so-called divine power.

He suspected that this thing could only be obtained from the so-called Evil God of the Abyss, while the God of Storms and other righteous gods were obviously not included in this list.

Chen Feng shook his head and took a step to leave.

Looking left and right, one can see that the gate of the Frost Church is quite imposing. It is white and gray in color, with intricate carvings on it, like frost, and is obviously made of some kind of precious stone.

Outside the gate, there are two statues of armored knights standing on the left and right, each two meters tall.

There seems to be some kind of power hidden in it, and ordinary people dare not look at it.

Chen Feng sensed it for a moment and was actually shocked. It was not malicious, but rather a warning to evildoers.

"The Frost God will protect us."

“May disease stay away.”

"God, please bless us!"

Intermittent low prayers were heard, and looking along the direction, many people could be seen kneeling in worship on the gray stone brick square.

People are coming and going in front of the church. The gods in this world really exist and have many believers.

"The recent infectious diseases are indeed getting worse."

Lei Long said this, and Chen Feng looked up at the black chimney in the distance.

I don't know when the gray smoke started to be emitted again, and the sky, which had finally become a little blue, turned gray again.

"Do you think the church will bless them?" Chen Feng asked.

"Should. Right?"

Lei Long said uncertainly, or rather, he didn't believe it, but due to the majesty of the gods, he didn't dare to deny it.

Chen Feng did not refute, but just walked out of the exquisite gate of the Frost Church.

A carriage was parked here, and Trin, wearing mended clothes, stood beside it.

He returned home and found the silver coin. Then he came to find Lei Long again, gritting his teeth and stubbornly refusing to accept it.

Ultimately, to take care of him.

In addition, because he often went out to sea, he didn't have a groom at home.

Lei Long not only took the silver coin as a reward, but also added some extra money to hire him to make two more trips to the Garden District in the next few days.

"grown ups!"

Seeing them appear from a distance, Trin quickly took the stool off the carriage.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

Lei Long rubbed his head. He had heard that he also had a dream of going to sea.

"As long as we are waiting for you, it doesn't matter how long it takes!"

Terin said firmly, and Leilong smiled with satisfaction.

The two then boarded the carriage and gradually left the church.

"Lord Feng Chen, are we going around the city again?" asked Telin. Although he was puzzled as to why this lord always wanted to take a drive around the city these days, he did not ask the reason.

His cousin told him that adults of high status inevitably have special hobbies.

"Well, just change the route."

Chen Feng nodded, and Lei Long asked about the situation at Terlin's home.

"Very well, Lord Leilon."

"The factory has finally started production again, and workers are coming to wash clothes again."

"My mother is very happy. I want to help more when I go back in the evening."

Trin said with a smile, his face full of expectations for life.

If I could just save up some more money, my mother's life would be a little easier and my sister would be able to eat better bread.

Perhaps sensing something, Lei Long, with his thick eyebrows and broad face, looked at him with a wavering gaze, as if he saw his former self in him.

Without saying anything, he finally looked around the street.

He was actually very curious about why Lord Feng Chen wanted to kill time like this, but he didn't dare to ask.

Although Chen Feng looked calm about this, in fact, his perception had already been magnified to the limit, covering everything around him.

According to Lei Long's clues, there is a high possibility that mermaids exist in Banly Port.

In that case, he doesn't mind being a human radar for once to see if he can gain something.

There was no conversation along the way until the end, when we were about to circle back to the garden area.

Chen Feng looked at a magnificent single-family villa.

There is a large garden inside the iron fence and red brick walls.

There were many servants looming inside, so he asked out of curiosity.

"This is where?"

"The residence of the Bishop of the Frost Church."

Lei Long answered and Chen Feng frowned.

When he was in the Storm and Frost Church before, he did not see the latter's bishop.

"Doesn't he live in the church?"

"I don't know. I heard that this house was given to him by someone else."

Chen Feng seemed to be thinking about what he said. He just sensed and glanced at it again, and then followed the carriage to leave.

At the same time, inside the villa.

The crying mermaid had her hands tied and fell to the ground.

The blue-green scales on the fish's tail were damaged, and many whip marks were visible on the body that was not covered by the shell.

"Snapped!!"

The whip hit the mermaid, and she gritted her teeth.

Not daring to dodge, she took a quick look and saw that she was protecting a younger mermaid underneath her.

Snapped!
Snapped! !

Snapped! ! !
The sound of whipping continued to ring out. The man holding the whip was wearing a papal robe, had a middle-aged face, and was full of excitement.

"Call!"

"Scream for me!!"

He shouted, his eyes full of excitement, as if he got some kind of satisfaction from it.

The mermaid refused to obey and still stubbornly protected the crying young mermaid beneath her, allowing her skin to be torn and blood to flow out.

Until the end, the opponent even stepped on his head and rubbed it on the ground.

This scene was seen by a figure in a gray cloak sneaking in from the window, and the other person's eyes were filled with shock and anger.

The bishop of the Frost Church actually had such a perverted behavior in private.

Tortured mermaid, hysterical.

Are these really the bishops and believers chosen by the God of Frost?

Anger flashed in her eyes and she wanted to attack, but she had to regain her senses.

The Frost Bishop is a fourth-level strongman, stronger than himself, that's one point.

In addition, the other party has a close relationship with the Charles family. If they were to take action at this moment and expose their relationship, they would easily be suspected and discovered by the Charles family.

She had just investigated the factory incident here. If the clue was lost, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

"Scream!!"

Suddenly, the excited shouting continued in the house.

The fat bishop in the papal robe whipped and cursed, causing more scars on the mermaid's body and blood splattering everywhere.

Until the end, he was grabbed by the throat and lifted up from the ground violently, staring at him with bloodshot eyes and shouting threats.

“Scream!!!”

“Scream for me now! Scream your throat out!!”

He said with anticipation, as if only in this way could he get the greatest satisfaction.

The woman in the gray cloak outside gritted her teeth and was extremely angry.

Reason and emotion are in conflict at the two ends of the scale, and hesitation blooms like waves in the heart.

"Call!"

"Let me see if anyone will come to rescue me if I scream my throat out."

Bang! ! !
The golden figure rushed over like a chariot, smashing everything!
