After returning to Sadina, Suli spent several days in school and got used to this daily routine, which could also be interpreted as professional life in a certain way.
As for academics, Suli, who was originally unable to cultivate the unique powers of this world, really did not feel any pressure.
Besides, the fact that he went to school was just because Lan Zhe thought that Sully needed to be with his peers. He felt that Sully didn't need to do anything earth-shattering, as long as he could draw some upward striving strength from young children.
The tragedy that Cyril had imagined was still working its magic in the eyes of those who knew about it.
After getting used to this kind of life, Suli also received several purple gold coins from Lan Zhe.
Knowing the existence of another world, Suli didn't feel that he had to go deep into it, but he couldn't do it without understanding it at all.
Just like the arrogance of Yelang in ancient times, short-sightedness is really fatal.
However, when Suli accepted the money from Lan Zhe, he also explained to him: "This money is just a loan."
The starting money for Custer's group of researchers was not much.
Moreover, after knowing the existence of intelligent monsters, Suli, who was unable to directly apply the technological system of another world, was thinking about how to bring the development of heavy industry such as alchemy to the forefront.
Furthermore, he had an idea when he hurried back to Sardina.
Even if the Chief Justice is in charge of the changes in the inner city, there will still be people at the top who will limit the speed of his actions before the king dies.
The aristocratic system is very old, and as the chief justice of the aristocracy, even if he joins hands with the Dark Pope to set a trap for the aristocracy, there is a possibility that this matter will be exposed.
Sully never thought that the leaked information could be kept secret.
As the capital of a country, the importance of Licheng is self-evident. However, without command and leadership rights, Suli still believes that the mercenary city, which symbolizes freedom, needs to be changed more decisively.
He now not only wants to develop alchemy and improve the overall strength that is not individual strength, but also thinks about how to use the unique key to unlock the ability to replicate.
Julius has three clues planted by the Pope of Light in his mind, and Suli cannot guarantee that the other party will leave him corresponding room for development instead of rushing into another world alone.
Considering the possibility of change, Su Li coughed and said to Lan Zhe: "Of course, you don't have to say that this money is just to make me do something I don't want to do. The days when I borrow money from you will be more than you think."
Lan Zhe laughed: "What do you mean by lending money or not? Do you know how many purple gold coins the Dark Pope has secretly saved over the years?"
Going out to fight against the dark elements is definitely not an option, but there will always be people whose love is greater than the rules established by the world.
Dark elementalists are considered to be characters who must be executed in the eyes of the world. However, if the love of their blood relatives for them is greater than the world's perception, then that blood relationship will become the most useful hidden thread in the hands of the Dark Pope.
Moreover, the Dark Pope's goal is not to destroy the Church of Light. He just wants all the dark elementalists now and in the future to be able to stand upright among the people.
The wealth accumulated from generation to generation is more of a compensation.
Successive Dark Popes believed that they were incompetent and unable to change the survival pattern of Dark Elementalists, so they could only try their best to make life easier for the new generation.
The best and most convenient way is to spend money.
All the high-grade medicinal materials that Lan Zhe had obtained from Jisuo Town when he entered the Monster Forest were later sold through the Pope's secret channel.
The money is not spent, but the profit is increasing.
So after finding that he had met someone he was interested in, Lan Zhesi didn't mind using those things that he had no hesitation about to play with Sully.
"I may not be as strong as Du Ya for now, but I can tell you very clearly that in terms of wealth, the inherent property of the entire Mercenary Alliance, plus the resources of everyone in the small building except me, cannot compare to me alone."
Suli stood there with his mouth open for a long time, and finally Lan Zhe stuffed a bag into his pocket. He didn't need to open it. Just the sound of collision that was different from that of gold coins made Suli's scalp tingle.
After a while he said, "Does this count as me holding onto the golden thigh of a rich man?"
Lan Zhe blinked his eyes and said, "I'm not like Egg who is getting sicker and sicker. I don't have any feelings about physical intimacy with you. You don't have to hug my thighs."
"Maybe I didn't mean it literally?" Sully didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Lan Zhe shrugged: "That doesn't matter."
"Also, since you are going to look for Custer, you should finish your business as soon as possible and come back early. I will also prepare dinner. Of course, I have also prepared the necessary ingredients for New Year's Eve as you mentioned before."
Suli was moved as he watched the Son of Darkness step into the kitchen in the small building.
Cyril, who was on the second floor, trudged to the stairwell and shouted to Sully, who was trying to go out alone, "I'm going too."
Then he pressed the handrail of the stairs on one side and jumped down directly from it.
Since returning to the small building, the crow, which was used to squatting on the painting, flapped its wings and flew onto Sully's shoulder, just like it was resting on its nest.
Afterwards, the two children and a crow walked towards Custer's base.
That place was the place where Mark kidnapped Sully.
Euphia promptly allocated the abandoned place to Caster to be used as a laboratory.
Just before going there, Sully asked Cyril: "What are Egg and Yuphia doing recently?"
When Cyril heard this question, her eyes wandered.
He didn't know how to explain it.
In the few days since Sully came back, apart from the classes, we rarely get together.
Just like the division of labor among different members of a family in modern society, it is impossible for them to stay together all the time.
But if we can't be together, some things will definitely happen that are hard to predict if we are not informed.
Sully had noticed for several days that Egg hadn't had dinner in the cottage.
Sometimes when I get up at night, I would just find Egbert coming back.
When asked what he was doing recently, he showed a guilty expression, expressing the sadness of not being able to tell Suli the truth. But he said that he and Euphia were going to do something, but he didn't say what they were doing.
As for finding out that Cyril knew about this, it was not difficult. The fact that the boy had not returned with bruises during this period of time when he followed the former Son of God proved that the others must be doing something deliberately to hide it from Sully.
Sully suddenly asked this question and looked carefully at Cyril's face.
Cyril was certainly no match for the adults upstairs when it came to hiding her emotions.
As soon as this question came out, Cyril's eyes widened, his mouth trembled twice, and he didn't say a word.
"You can't say it, or you don't want to say it?"
"Neither." Cyril shook her head, "I just don't think it's appropriate to tell you this."
Suli's heart sank.
"But since you asked, there's nothing I can't tell you."
"Sister Euphia, we have recently started cooperation with the Dark Church."
"I don't know the exact details, I just know that they said that after you came back from Licheng, your mood was a little different from before..."
Several adults thought about it together and agreed that Sully had suffered a lot.
Especially Euphia.
The heir of the Mercenary Alliance was just about to point his finger at those big bosses and scold them.
"If you think that suffering only befalls the body, then you are nothing."
Euphia has her own thinking ability.
Sully's mood has obviously become more stable (progressive) than before. Stability can be said to be a proof of growth, but it can also be said to be a compromise that cannot be avoided.
This world allows Suli to compromise too much.
When facing someone who calls him a waste, he cannot talk back, because no one knows whether the other party will kill him on the spot if he gets angry.
When faced with all kinds of novel things, you can't go alone, because going out alone means you may die in an unknown corner at any time.
Ignoring these compromises, Dez later told Euphia: "The Holy See of Light intends to target the 'Prophet'."
The death of the Pope of Light is a really big deal.
It would have been fine if he had died of natural old age, but it was unacceptable that he had to be besieged to death.
It would be impossible for an old man who has lived for so many years to not have any power at all.
As for those patriarchs who want to push Dietz or "Chazo" to the throne, their starting point is not just that the Holy See must have a pope.
But...only if the person who becomes the Pope also has the intention to murder the prophet, all members of the Church of Light can truly act in the name of God.
After all, the Pope has always been equated with God's spokesman on earth.
This may not be obvious at first glance, but in addition to mercenaries, there are also ordinary people and nobles in Sadina.
At least half of the ordinary people and nobles are believers of the God of Light.
Among that half, even if only 1% are fanatics, they will definitely take action against Suli when they receive specious information from the patriarch.
Sully, who already had a hard time enjoying freedom, now had to rely on Crow whenever he went out.
The two children went out together, but no one thought Cyril could protect Sully.
Instead, they came out together, more like...
fishing.
Sully's eyes flashed, and he hung the purse given to him by Lan Zhe around his waist. Then he changed the subject with Cyril and talked about tonight's dinner.
I just didn't expect that I didn't find anything during my visit to the Custer Research Base. When I communicated with Custer about the new research direction and research goals, there was no betrayal from the people in the base.
Just when Suli was wondering whether this was a fishing trip, a large group of people wearing white robes and covering their heads and faces surrounded them.
The leader even said when he saw Suli: "You who have violated the prophet of the great cause of the God of Light will die here today."
Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, Suli felt the gaze was too sharp.
"Can I ask you a question before you take action?" Suli said, without giving others time to react, he looked into his peaceful and distant green eyes and asked directly, "When you say the great deeds of the God of Light, do you mean that you are keeping the human race as captives?"
