Chapter 36 XXXVI. The Heavenly Punisher and the Moon Swordsman

The situation has completely deescalated.

When the count and his family saw that the matter was settled, the gloom on their faces disappeared, and they moved the tableware with due etiquette.

Morrison ate from beginning to end, not stopping his fork when he was tense. Although Li Site was nervous, he was a reliable person and never let his guard down at critical moments, knowing that nothing would happen.

Swann also sat down. Not to mention anything else, the official members of the Thieves Guild had enough money, they had eaten before, and they had limited interest in a table of big dishes.

The atmosphere became relaxed, and the earl also arranged for a musician to play the piano next to him. The decibel was suitable as background sound to soothe the mood and would not affect normal conversations.

"One of them is a high-ranking figure in the Holy Spirit Church's Judgment Office..."

The count had not finished speaking.

"Wait...is it from the Kingdom of Zeon?"

Li Site couldn't help but ask.

The Church of the Holy Spirit is a religion widely distributed in the Western Continent. It believes in the thirteen Holy Spirits. The East Coast area generally believes in the Wave and Storm Holy Spirits among the thirteen Holy Spirits. It is also the main belief in the gods in the coastal areas.

Relatively speaking, the Church of the Holy Spirit is a very mild sect with relatively few demonic people. How is it compared to other religions in the Western Continent that turn people into darkness, such as the "Miracle of Pain", "Holy Allah", and "Silence of Silence" "Li Site was a little afraid of those people. It was either a question of whether they would die or not, or they were evil and scary.

Depending on the region, the teachings of large sects such as the Holy Spirit Church are also very different. Religions often have a strong social service nature. Even if they are the same religion, the teachings will change with the local political ecology, just like on earth. A sect in China is divided into Catholicism, Puritanism, Protestantism, etc. It is the same principle.

The fundamental Holy Spirit Church has extremely strong universal values, and the customs and behaviors and internal logic it advocates are very clever, allowing a civilization to develop in a virtuous cycle.

But it is different in the Kingdom of Zeon. It has become the political tool of the King of Zeon. The demon hunters of the Holy Spirit Church over there are unable to communicate, cannot communicate, and are targeting you, so they have no good juice to eat.

The classic story gives you 100 million and is chased by a snail, but you have no money, and it is not a snail. The one who comes to kill you is the ultimate devil, and it may not necessarily kill you, but it requires some fancy rituals.

So Archer, who was at odds with the Zeon court, was frightened when he heard that the demon hunter was coming.

"It's not from the Kingdom of Zeon, it's... from the territory of Aram, the Punisher Caruso."

The count called the servant and also lit a high-end cigarette and smoked it.

The state religion of Aram is very powerful. It allows citizens freedom of belief, and also allows other religious forces to open churches and preach. As long as you give money to rent land, it is easy to talk about it. The emperor is a very powerful figure. He once threatened that eternity and The Dragon of Time is generous and tolerant of all gods.

So when people say they are emperors, their courage is really terrifying. The Eternal Sect has jumped from the second echelon to the top religious force in the Western Continent. Everyone is willing to believe in the most powerful one.

"Have you ever heard of this man?"

Li Site had never heard of it and asked the other three people.

Fen and others all shook their heads.

"I've never heard of it. It's normal. Those in the Holy See don't like to be in the public eye."

Earl explained.

Li Site glanced at Morrison thoughtfully. The nickname "The Punisher" sounds so outrageous. I don't know if you can stand it.

Morrison feasted like a normal person and didn't care who was the guard.

"The Punisher is a position."

The earl also spoke with profound meaning.

As Fen was eating, he thought of some things in Aram. Although he didn't know the name of this person, he also had a little idea of ​​the protagonist of the escort.

"Where's the other guy?"

Li Site asked.

"This person is famous. He is a heroic adventurer. He has not joined any adventure group. He is a lone wolf. You must have heard of Moon Swordsman Gloria."

The Count said calmly.

Li Site took a breath. A hero-level adventurer is only one step away from a palace-level person. He is a famous figure. Wait... Gloria?

Li Site got hard and fisted.

Although I have never seen him in person, he is rumored to be an adventurer with a lot of spare time, and he is a quite promising character.

"woman?"

Fen said subconsciously.

"Is there anything wrong?"

The Earl asked, the names of the two guards were mentioned, and then it was time to finalize the details.

The good wine that the count had ordered from the manor had been opened and poured into the goblet in front of Fen.

"without."

Fen took a sip of his wine. It was taboo on a pirate ship to take a woman out to sea, but it was a good thing that this woman had the ability to protect herself. If she didn't have the ability to protect herself, the one or two hundred people on the ship would have eaten a meal of hob meat, and it would have been a boring voyage. There will definitely be evil fire in the fire. If it is small, it will cause a commotion. Someone may sneak up on any corner of the ship and force them. If it is large, it will cause a private fight among the crew members, which may result in the death of someone.

Since you are a Moon Swordsman, you will not cause trouble. If you are lustful, you are not afraid. Three weeks is not too long to get to Tianguo Port. There are also brothels at the stopping points on the way. If you are really worried, you can go and solve it.

"They are all high-end people."

Li Site thought that the Punisher would only be stronger than Gloria, not weaker. After all, adventurers were hired, and genuine personal guards would definitely be more powerful.

"How did you handle it, did they come directly to the secret port, or what?"

Fin asked for specifics.

"They will not stay at my manor. The meeting point is Lavender Town, southwest of Linden City. They will come to the lakeside villa five miles east of the town. It is very easy to recognize. It is a place I use for vacation. The real estate can be called luxurious. It is best to go there and wait ten days later. After receiving the secret port, do not hesitate and go directly to the sea to Tianguo Port. As for the docking person at Tianguo Port, they will tell you."

To be on the safe side, the count explained it to the four people again.

Fen memorized all the keywords, Lavender Town, five miles east, lakeside resort house, ten days later.

"Very good." Li Site knew that this was a life-and-death job, and it was far from as easy as the count said. "The final payment is a privateering license. It is indeed an irresistible condition, but the final payment is the final payment after all. From now on, Our brothers will die at any time."

The earl smiled and naturally understood what Li Site meant.

"Pay the deposit in installments. Every day from now on, I will send someone to deliver a hundred golden dragons to your ship. Until the tenth day, you will send someone to Lavender Town. This is today's share."

The earl clapped his hands, and the butler took out a small exquisite box from the servant, opened it for Li Site to take a look at, then quietly closed it and placed it in front of Li Site.

Even Swann, who had dealt with treasures the most, was amazed by the count's handiwork. This was not a copper coin, nor a silver coin, but a gold dragon. A piece of gold dragon could provide a person with food, clothing, housing and transportation for half a year.

Fen was also interested. This was a new record, surpassing the most money Black Sail had ever made, which was more than 900 gold dragons. At that time, a whole boat of people spent more than half a year in paradise harbor and were almost useless.

Morrison is still the breadwinner.

"Earl...it's so refreshing. I'm speechless. It's a deal. I'll do it first as a courtesy."

Li Site picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

Even the eldest daughter of the earl was a little heartbroken, because this is really the best wine in the winery, and it can be used as a collectible to increase its value and be auctioned for a high price. It is really a waste of natural resources.
