Disaster Strikes

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

The four members of the tour group took Madi and finally arrived at the bustling Rhine City.

It was the first time that Madi saw so many people, and he showed an expression of longing and excitement.

On both sides of the bustling streets, there were a dazzling array of goods, an endless stream of business travelers, a crowd of vendors hawking along the street, and juggling, missionaries, and minstrels. All of this fascinated him and he never wanted to leave.

"The scale of Rhine City is far beyond that of Winnie Town. We will be living here in the next few days. We still have a lot of time to travel, so let's book a hotel first."

"Um."

Five people booked three rooms, and Madi lived alone in one room.

Since the hotel is expensive, the service is of course not good enough. When the lady wearing pink and white passed by in twos and threes, they couldn't help but take a second look at Ma Di.

"Gee, distinguished guests, is this your pet? I'm very interested in it. Are you willing to sell it to me?"

A fat and old-looking lady, wearing a mink coat and followed by several entourages, stopped the four members of the tour group, looked at Madi who was following at the back and said.

A whoosh.

Chen Mo had a fireball in his hand, and the attendants behind the noble lady stepped forward to block her.

A gentle man wearing a wig walked up quickly.

"Mr. Magician, I am the housekeeper. Please don't get me wrong. My wife means no harm."

"It better be so."

After Chen Mo responded coldly, he looked at Ma Di and said, "He is a noble elf living in the mortal world, and he is my friend. If you say this about him again, it will arouse my anger."

After the butler's persuasion, the lady reluctantly left.

"Really, if you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. I'm just curious and want to play. Forget it, it saves me gold coins."

other side.

Madi said timidly: "Mr. Traveler, I have caused trouble for you."

"Ahem, Mr. Madi."

Chen Mo solemnly said: "No one can insult you, including yourself. Even if you can't cause harm to the person who insulted you, you still have to show the necessary anger, at least make people feel that if he continues like this, You will have the determination to fight to the death.”

The same is true for disaster worlds.

Bullying among natural disaster victims is often formed through repeated trials.

But this does not mean that the strong can bully the weak.

As long as the weak show sufficient determination, they will generally not suffer much hardship.

"Thanks."

Madi said with wet eyes.

Chen Mo came to the front desk, registered basic information, took out a few silver coins, handed them to the little girl in front of him, and told her to take good care of Ma Di.

"Sir, please rest assured that we have the best service here in the Rhine City."

The next three days.

The five of them seemed to be tourists from afar who came here specifically to visit, and they had completely integrated into the city.

While Chen Mo stayed here in the name of recovering from his injuries, Chen Mo secretly investigated the St. Randy Cathedral where Lange was located, and quickly obtained relevant clues.

As one of the ten cathedrals of the Holy See, the influence of St. Randy's Cathedral is extraordinary. Not only is there a red archbishop stationed there all year round, but there are also many senior clergy. Countless believers come here to worship every year.

Especially in years of great disaster.

The power of the Holy See is the main force to appease the people, so that large-scale unrest can be prevented.

certainly.

Several people also did not forget to investigate the information about Count Orff.

"Count Orff is a decisive and upright devout believer. He seems to dislike his son very much. He once publicly said that Werther was not worthy of inheriting his title. This is a bit strange."

Chen Mo frowned and said: "But judging from the information we have collected, Werther's performance in all aspects is very good. If not an elite, he is at least an outstanding noble. Why is Orff like this? There must be something in this What's the secret?"

"I feel weird too."

Tiantian stared with big eyes, looking puzzled.

"And there is nothing wrong with Werther's origin. He is not an illegitimate child. The reason why he went to the town of Winnie was because he was disgusted by Count Orff and was relegated there. This is a bit strange."

Xieying and Tianqizhe also showed deep incomprehension.

Chen Mo rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"After all, the source of the intelligence is not someone close to Count Orff. It seems that we have to use some special means."

"And there's this guy Lango!"

A strange look appeared on Xue Ying's face.

"He has never left St. Randy's Cathedral since he returned to Rhine City. He seems to be afraid of revenge. His uncle is the bishop of Notre Dame Cathedral. As long as he does not leave Notre Dame Cathedral, he is absolutely Safe.”

"Absolutely safe?"

Chen Mo sneered and said lightly: "That's just for people in this world, because they are afraid of the Holy See and don't dare to fight to the death. We are the victims of natural disasters."

"That's what I thought too."

Xiying continued: "I have obtained accurate information. The Pope has ordered cathedrals everywhere to shrink their staff and prepare to survive the dark age. Bishops and senior clergy from all over the country will go to Notre Dame Cathedral for a meeting. The bishops and senior clergy of St. Randy's Cathedral will The clergy will leave in two days."

"Two days from now?"

Chen Mo stretched out, this is good news!

"In order to investigate Linda's clues, we have delayed so much mission time, and now we are at the end of the rope, so no matter what this time, we must find Lango and get the truth about this matter from his mouth! "

Chen Mo slapped the table hard and made a conclusion on this matter. .

…

The next evening.

In the hotel where the tour group stayed temporarily, a guest was welcomed.

This person is the scholar consultant of Orff Manor, responsible for bringing the latest mathematical knowledge from academia to the manor and imparting it to Orff.

Count Orff was actually an avid mathematical researcher.

"Mr. Allen, welcome."

Chen Mo greeted Allen with a smile.

After a brief social etiquette, Chen Mo waved gently, stepped forward with a sweet smile, and placed the tray in his hand on the table.

He casually lifted the cover on the tray, revealing a pile of silver coins.

According to Chen Mo's investigation, in addition to studying mathematics, Allen also has a well-known hobby, which is gambling.

He has always believed that he can make big money in the casino by relying on his knowledge of mathematical probability.

But the actual result is that they are heavily in debt.

He was using his own hobbies to challenge other people's majors. Although Chen Mo didn't have much contact with him, he knew that winning or losing in gambling was not just a mathematical problem.

"I'll get right to the point today. As long as Mr. Allen can answer my questions truthfully, these silver coins will belong to Mr. Allen."

Chen Mo noticed that Allen's eyes were shining and said with a smile.

"This...what do you want to know?"

"Why does Count Orff hate Werther?"

After learning that Chen Mo just wanted to understand this problem, Allen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face.

He had never made such easy money in his life.

"Are you sure you just want to know this?"

"certainly."

Chen Mo couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Allen must have some inside clues.

I saw him laughing, and he was quite confident and collected all the silver coins in front of him.

"The reason why Count Orff doesn't like Werther is because he violated the precepts that Count Orff has always observed, namely rage, lust, and laziness."

"Um?"

It's understandable that Chen Mo would be furious.

After all, he not only killed his wife, but also openly pursued Lango, but what about lust and laziness?

"If I tell you three things, you will be able to understand Count Orff."

Allen first stretched out his right index finger.

"First, because Werther did not fulfill his coming-of-age ceremony wish, he became furious in public and stabbed his mother with the sword he carried."

Then he extended his middle finger.

"Secondly, he actually forced Count Orff's young and beautiful fourth lady to be caught by Count Orff."

He held out a third finger.

"Third, he is uneducated and has no ability to inherit Count Orff's ability in any field. After taking charge of the management of the manor, he caused a huge deficit that year. Count Orff was extremely disappointed with him."

"No way?"

Chen Mo held his chin with his right hand, looking in disbelief.

"But the people in Winnie Town don't seem to have such a favorable impression of Werther. They all say that he is a funny, outstanding, and loving person, and he loves his daughter very much. He has become a legend in the town."

Allen looked disdainful and sneered.

"What do those country folk know? He is just good at disguising, because only in this way can he play with those stupid ladies and let those stupid ladies take off their clothes, so that he can get the earl's silver coins for him to squander. , do you really know him?”

Chen Mo frowned deeply.

He originally thought that this tragedy was caused by Linda's mother.

But now it seems that there is another hidden reason.

The matter was not as simple as he imagined. Fortunately, he came to investigate in person, otherwise he would still be kept in the dark.

"Been taught a lesson."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Chen Mo hurriedly said: "By the way, how much do you know about Linda?"

"she?"

Allen stood at the door and paused.

"I think she must be very pitiful. After all, she has such an irresponsible and dirty father. I once heard Count Orff talk about her. Although Count Orff didn't explain the specific situation, he gritted his teeth and said it was him. He deeply regrets that he harmed Linda and regrets that he did not kill Werther before letting Linda come into this world to suffer. From this, we can see that her condition is obviously not very good. "

"That's what Count Orff said?"

Chen Mo inevitably had self-doubt in his heart, and it was difficult for a while to reconcile the Werther in Allen's mouth with the Werther in his previous impression.

"I see."

Chen Mo signaled that the other party could leave.
