Chapter 80 Collapse of Faith

Moselle, sitting in his chair, took out his pocket watch for the third time tonight.

Ten o'clock at night sharp.

After taking his eyes off the dial, Moselle looked around.

At this moment, he was in a slightly small room. In front of him was a long table that looked somewhat quaint and worn-out, with a chair also placed at the other end of the table.

As a negotiation venue, this place seems too simple, which inevitably makes people feel that it lacks sincerity.

But if we regard this place as the place where murder and corpse dumping took place, it seems particularly reasonable.

It was a dark and windy night, and few people were around.

No matter from which point of view, it feels extremely eerie.

And Moser had chosen such a place today because he really wanted to kill someone.

The top floor of Samuel Bell Tower.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in."

Moselle laughed a little inwardly.

Even though he is about to die, he still has to act so polite. I don't know who he is showing this to.

He had no doubt whether Lynn would attend the negotiation.

Because there are really no irreconcilable contradictions and conflicts between the two.

Lynn's previous actions, as well as his campaign to mobilize churches across the city to raise funds, were all about money.

He is in league with Duke Tyreus.

In this case, I will definitely not miss this opportunity to squeeze a lot of money from him.

The concession that he pretended to make would definitely make Lin En let down his guard.

And then, he will show his fangs.

As soon as these thoughts flashed through his mind, Bishop Moselle saw Lynn's face that he hated so much.

"You're here really early." Lin En walked slowly into the room and looked around. "Could it be that they have set a trap in advance and are waiting for me to fall into it?"

Moser's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "If you are so cautious, why did you come here?"

"Don't worry, there is no trap here. There are only two of my subordinates."

"That would be best."

Lynn nodded and then sat in the chair across the table.

Then, a sturdy man in military uniform with ordinary looks and a strong build walked in behind him.

Moser took a look and found that it was a strange face. He could only sense a very weak breath of the divine factor, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Okay, I'm here at the place you set." Lin En got straight to the point. "So, how do you want to talk?"

Although he had murderous intent in his heart, Moser decided to play along for a bit out of caution.

"Fifty thousand gold coins, immediately remove those things from the town square." Moser gave the price in his mind. "Also, regarding the recent public opinion related to the Tianli Church, you are not allowed to use it to cause trouble again."

Although he knew the condition was outrageous, he still said it.

This was also the last chance he gave Lynn.

If the other party could really accept such conditions, he would even feel relieved.

Only 50,000 gold coins were needed, and the wealth he had accumulated over the years was enough to make up for it.

Not only that, it can also avoid offending that terrible woman Yves Saint. In his opinion, this deal is extremely cost-effective.

But it was just as he had thought before.

This condition is outrageous.

"Are you kidding me?" Lin En sneered, "Multiply that number by ten, and I might reluctantly consider it."

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

Moselle's eyes turned cold in an instant.

"In my opinion, you are the one who doesn't want to have a good talk."

Lynn suddenly slammed the table.

Seeing this, the two subordinates behind Moselle took a step forward instantly. As the light of the divine factor bloomed, an invisible and powerful force suddenly descended from the sky, as if there was extra gravity out of thin air, and hit the guards behind Lin En hard.

The burly guard groaned and half-knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin En looked at Moselle with a gloomy look in his eyes: "What do you want to do?"

So you can also show such an expression? The boy who was always calm in my impression showed a serious expression for the first time, as if the situation was out of control.

This feeling made Moser feel very happy.

The guy's behavior of killing two people without batting an eyelid at the dinner that day had left a very deep impression on him, and even made him feel a little scared.

But now it seems that we are not on the verge of despair.

Anyone, when faced with the threat of death, will reveal a side of themselves that is rarely seen before.

"Ask me what I want to do. Of course I want to break the contract."

Moser smiled and signaled his subordinates to arrest him.

He was ready to enjoy the ugly appearance of this guy trying to survive before his death.

"You are so naive." Moser shook his head. "I said I wanted to negotiate, but you only brought one person with you. You didn't have any guard at all."

Looking at the two people gradually approaching him, Lin En fell silent.

And this expression, in their eyes, meant that he wanted to give up resistance.

Just as Lin En was about to be pressed on the table by Moselle's men, he suddenly said, "Are you going to kill me here?"

"Of course." Moser sneered, "As a scum who hinders the progress of the church, this is the result you should have expected long ago."

"Aren't you afraid of violating the laws of the empire by doing this?"

Lynn said again.

Seeing that his shoulders had been held down and he did not seem to want to resist, Moser immediately supported himself on the table and slowly stood up: "I didn't expect that as a lowly child of the Bartleron family, after going through so many things, he would still have such naive ideas."

"Law? That was made by the existence behind me to maintain the authority of the privileged class. As a transcendent and a bishop of the church, I am one of them."

"Only animals and untouchables need to abide by such ridiculous things."

Hearing this, Lynn fell silent.

After a moment, he spoke again: "Second question, why do you want to kill me so much?"

"Why so many questions?" Moser asked impatiently, "Ask this and that, in the end you'll all die anyway."

"Just think of it as a chat. Like you said, I'm going to die soon anyway."

In the face of the crisis, Lin En, who was pressed tightly on the seat, was still in the mood to talk and laugh.

Seeing this, Moser snorted coldly: “I said it before, because you are hindering the progress of the church.”

"I didn't want to kill you, but you were determined to get yourself killed and offered yourself to Duke Tyrvus to be his butcher."

"You should know clearly what he is going to do. He is going to fight against the church in the whole city." Mosel said calmly, "But he has the title of Duke and a powerful army to escort him. Even if he can't get anything from us, he will be safe and sound."

"But you are different. You are just a useless person who was exiled from a declining family. The princess you follow is the third princess who is regarded as a devil by everyone. You have no background at all. It's like you have the words 'I am a soft persimmon, come and pinch me' written on your face."

"Tell me, in this situation, if you don't die, who will die?"

"I see." Lin En nodded. "But I never asked you for anything from the beginning to the end. The only thing I did was to seek benefits for those disabled soldiers."

"That's really great and glorious." Moser shook his head, "But I've said it many times, your actions have really hindered the progress of the church."

"So, what exactly do you mean by 'progress in the church'?"

Lynn suddenly interrupted and asked.

Moser raised his voice slightly and replied in a matter-of-fact voice: "The money in the hands of those untouchables is the progress of the Church!"

"Do you know how much profit the Tianli Church can get from those idiots every year?"

"Eight hundred thousand! Every year!" Moser's eyes sparkled. "The donations and charity money we have received from them alone have already reached this number!"

"Even with this, they still have to be grateful to us, thinking that it was the Tianli Church that exempted them from the empire's high population tax!"

"Tell me, how can you not love these guys who are just like pigs and dogs and are deceived by others?!"

Even Moselle himself did not realize that he was in a somewhat strange state at the moment.

Perhaps he was convinced that Lin En was going to be killed soon, so he revealed such an uncalm side.

"And you, what you did, was to try to put the money we worked so hard to get from them into your own pockets!"

"It's really outrageous."

Moselle slammed the table.

Seeing this, Lin En's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange color: "So, in the end, you sent this money to the imperial capital? Who did you give it to?"

"Of course."

At this point, Moselle suddenly frowned.

He felt as if Lin En had been easily tricking him since the beginning.

Of course, he couldn't just casually say the names of those families in the imperial capital.

There were even a few ancient and long-standing terrible surnames that made him shudder just by saying them.

Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lynn's eyes.

I originally wanted to get information about the people behind the scenes from him.

But Moser didn't seem to be that stupid.

"Anything else you want to ask? Tell me all at once."

Moselle seemed determined to satisfy Lynn's curiosity before he set off.

"One last question." Lin En looked directly into Moselle's eyes, "In your eyes, what are the people and believers?"

Moser answered without hesitation: "Pigs and dogs. No, that may not be quite right. At least pigs and dogs have many different uses. They can be eaten or kept as pets for entertainment."

"As for those rubbish who can only sigh all day long and blame all the misfortunes in life on fate, besides spreading endless negative energy, their only use is to be sucked dry by us."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"Satisfied, quite satisfied."

Lynn suddenly raised his hands and clapped softly.

"If you are satisfied, then go on your way with peace of mind."

Moser stopped smiling and looked at his face one last time.

"Wait a moment." Lin En suddenly shook his head. "Before that, I also have two things to say to you."

The next second, as Moser's pupils suddenly dilated, the young man in front of him suddenly broke free from his restraints and slowly stood up from the chair.

"What are you doing?"

"Sir, I don't know why, but we suddenly seem unable to move!"

One of the subordinates replied in panic.

Moser was suddenly startled.

However, Lynn ignored their reactions and slowly walked towards the window.

"First, you treat the people like pigs and dogs, and the people treat you like an enemy."

As he spoke, he pushed open the dusty window.

Looking at his calm appearance at this moment, for some reason, an extremely uneasy feeling came over Moser.

"Second sentence, I actually lied to you last night." Lin En suddenly raised a mischievous smile, "The Samuel sacrifice ceremony is not in seven days, but tonight."

“Buzz!”

Moselle's mind exploded instantly.

After understanding the implication of Lin En's words, his face instantly lost color and he staggered back a few steps.

Then his neck seemed to be rusty, and he twisted it to the side and looked out the window.

I saw that the bell tower, which was empty when I came here, was now surrounded by a group of people holding candles.

The flickering light from the candles outlined the originally dark environment.

It also captured a number of familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
