Noble Emblem
965 Confrontation
In the past, once people like Goff, the boss of the Black Fox Gang, were subdued, Monica would recruit them for her own use. After all, underground forces are sometimes very useful, especially when doing something shady.
But Beta’s suggestion is to kill them all. When Beta made this suggestion, everyone in the Hotel California had strange expressions on their faces.
In the eyes of young people like them, Beta almost refuted Monica, the master, on the spot, which was completely disrespectful to the master. They were standing aside, ready to watch Monica, the new owner, get angry or scold Beta.
But the result was very surprising to them, Monica actually listened. A kill order was issued on the spot.
For some reason, Monica has strong confidence in Beta. He said it was not suitable to recruit Black Fox as a lackey, so it was definitely not suitable.
This attitude gave everyone at Hotel California a good reminder.
Beta was really talkative in front of Monica.
Because Monica currently has too few people, including herself, there are only 9 people. The North County Chapel is very large, so it seems very empty.
"I feel like we need to recruit more people." Monica sat on the chair. As the archbishop, of course she couldn't do the work: "Otherwise, many things will not work."
"Recruit from among the believers." Beta thought for a while and said: "Try to select some underage believers who can work."
"OK."
While the two were talking, a man from the California Hotel walked in and said, "There is a big shot outside. He says he is Count Billy and hopes to meet the owner."
Monica turned to Beta and smiled: "You guessed it right, he came to the door right now."
Beta raised an eyebrow: "Do you want me to avoid it?"
"No need." Monica waved her hand and said to the subordinate next to her: "Invite people in."
After a while, the tall and strong Earl Billy walked in with the butler. He walked on the smooth floor of the church, and heavy footsteps sounded with every step he took, but there was a relaxed and carefree feeling when people walked around.
This is a phenomenon that only occurs with warriors who have reached a certain level of strength. To put it simply, it means that he can lift his weight with ease, has strong physique and strength, and also has high coordination value that can control his powerful power in subtle ways.
The middle-aged man walked in and his eyes immediately lit up when he saw Monica sitting on the high seat.
Monica is very beautiful. After all, she is the favorite of the Spider Queen. She is most likely the most beautiful woman in the Cult of Life.
And Billy is extremely beautiful. He looked at Monica with a smile on his face and said: "Beautiful Ms. Celia, this is the first time we meet. Your beauty seems to be the arrival of the God of Love."
In this country's legend, the goddess of love has the most beautiful appearance of all goddesses. Every country has its own goddess that it considers the most beautiful due to issues of belief and preference.
Billy's flattery did not make Monica happy. She is not the kind of woman who has never seen the world. When she was the Shadow Queen in France, she was flattered a lot.
He then asked calmly: "Count Billy, I'm glad you came to visit. Today is my first day taking over this temple. Nothing has been prepared. The place is even a little dirty, so I can't receive you well." "
"It's okay, it's okay." Billy waved his hand, and his slightly square face looked quite heroic: "Rather, in this busy time, it already makes me feel good that you can see me, madam. It’s an honor.”
Monica looked a little surprised at this time.
The earl was already a fairly high-ranking member of the nobility. And this Billy also seems to be a powerful person, with a confident temperament all over him.
It's really admirable that such a person can lower his stature so low.
Whether he is pretending or his personality is really like this, as long as he can maintain this attitude, his social reputation will not be bad.
"Count Billy, thank you for your visit. But as you can see, I still have a lot of matters to deal with here." Monica said calmly: "I can't entertain you for too long, please don't worry." , I will definitely visit your manor in person in two or three days."
"That's fine." Billy motioned to the butler to come forward and deliver the gift, then looked around and said, "Madam, you have too few people here. Is it unsafe? Do you want me to send dozens of guards to protect you for now? ?”
"No need." Monica waved her hand: "I'm new here and I haven't offended anyone. I believe no one will do anything bad to me."
"Sorry, I worry too much." Billy nodded, looking a little disappointed, and frowned slightly. Such a subtle expression gives people the feeling of 'I care about you very much, but you don't accept it'.
It will make those who are soft-hearted feel a slight sense of guilt.
But Monica still had her original gentle expression: "It's okay, you are doing it for my own good."
At this time, Beta walked up to the butler and took the gift box from his hand.
Billy looked at Beta and was stunned for a moment.
His attention had been on Monica just now, and he didn't notice anyone else. Seeing Beta at this time, he was a little surprised.
He found that the young man was quite handsome, and most importantly, he had a very calm temperament.
Before coming, Billy also did some simple research on Monica. I learned that ‘Celia’ had recruited a ‘male favorite’ from the mercenary union before.
Does a male favorite have such magnanimity?
The rumors are indeed not believable.
Billy took note of Beta's appearance, then nodded slightly and left the church.
Monica waited for the other party to go away, then waved her hand and closed the heavy door of the church. Then he turned to look at Beta and asked, "What do you think of this Count Billy?"
"Looks very good, the perfect match in most women's minds. He must have strength, good looks, and power." Beta said with a smile: "At least that's how it looks on the surface."
"That's it on the surface." Monica looked at the door: "I think so too, he gives me a very 'fake' feeling!"
Beta put the gift box in Monica's hand: "Why don't you open it and see what's inside?"
"Then take a look."
The gift box was opened, and inside were jewelry worn by two women. One of them is magic equipment.
"Wow, this man is really generous." Monica picked up the magic jewelry and exclaimed: "Magic jewelry, this must cost at least two to three hundred gold coins."
This piece of jewelry is a neck piece, and in terms of design, it is indeed pretty good.
"Judging from the magic lines, this magic equipment is a permanent miniature 'physical strengthening' technique. Wearing it for a long time can improve your physical condition..." Beta said, his eyes suddenly condensed, and then he raised his finger to his mouth and made a gesture. Made a silent movement.
Monica nodded slightly.
Beta took the jewelry from her hand, touched it with her fingers, and gently cut off a line on a certain gemstone. Then half of this piece of jewelry that exuded magical brilliance immediately lost its brilliance.
"Okay. There is a long-distance listening miniature magic circle in this jewelry. I cut it off just now. The double magic circle is not surprising. The maker doesn't even know how to draw the array within the array. It's very rough, but he doesn't understand the magic circle. People don’t even know there are two magic effects on it.”
In this world, there are not many people who understand magic circles. So under normal circumstances, no one can discover that this jewelry has another reason.
When Monica heard this, her expression became gloomy: "How dare you spy on me?"
She grabbed the jewelry and was about to throw it away, but Beta suddenly grabbed her fat wrist: "Don't get angry. These gems are good. Give me a few days and I will help you make better magic equipment. Throw it away." What a pity."
"Okay, remember to help me make it look better." Monica's face quickly changed from gloomy to clear, and she was extremely beautiful.
Billy returned to the manor and was about to go upstairs when he saw the family magician coming over.
This magician is an old man, very young. But there was an unconcealable glint in his eyes: "Master, the listening magic circle has been destroyed."
"when?"
"Just ten minutes ago," the magician said, "Logically speaking, Master, you should have just come out of the church not long ago."
Billy sighed slightly: "It seems that Celia is also quite talented. I heard that she presented the blueprint of magic equipment some time ago, and then she got the position of archbishop. Is that blueprint her work?"
"Impossible." The old magician shook his head: "Magic circle is a very profound skill. Even I spent twenty years barely getting started. It took another thirty years to get started. He is a young woman. Baby, I don’t have this ability.”
"Who could that be?"
Billy asked, and then he subconsciously thought of a man, the man standing next to 'Celia'.
The legendary male favorite.
"Butler, send someone to investigate Celia's male favorite." Billy thought for a while and said: "Also, let the Viper Gang go to the church to cause trouble. I want to see, Celia This is how the lady handles emergencies. She took action last night and gave me a kick. Now it's my turn to take action. It's the attitude that good neighbors should have. "
The butler bowed and left.
The old magician continued: "Master, there is no need for you to waste too much time on a woman. You should focus your energy on more important goals, such as Marquis Claire."
"That kid has been fighting with me for four years, and now he is no longer a threat." Billy waved his hand and said, "He is not even half of his father's level."
"But what if he forms an alliance with Lady Celia?"
Billy thought for a while and said, "Well, this is indeed a trouble. How about I send someone now to make the relationship between them incompatible."
"That's exactly what it should be."
The old magician smiled kindly.
At this time, Beijun Chapel posted a notice recruiting people. Within half a day, believers who came to apply for the job had almost blocked the entrance of the entire temple.
