No words were spoken that night.
That night was just as Mimiyan had expected. The people of the Church of Divine Education were busy all night, organizing a large number of people to check for suspicious traces throughout Dolgod. They encountered many thieves, but did not find anything related to the pagans.
After all, there were no pagans in the first place. All this was just Lisfil taking advantage of the chaos to attack his father, the leader of Tualatin.
Even if there were any, the so-called "pagans" all hid in the ruins of the Inquisition, and these church personnel deliberately avoided this place during the search, so it is no wonder that they found nothing.
The next day, before dawn, Cheng Shi left the main force with Scorpio and headed to the place where Tualatin said they could meet Lisfil.
The two men had clearly only rested for a few hours, but they did not show any signs of fatigue. They moved carefully and quickly among the early morning crowd, heading towards their target.
As for why Cheng Shi must bring Scorpio with him, it is naturally because the power of [time] is the easiest to visualize and has the greatest visual impact. It is the best choice whether it is used to deceive people or to show off.
What's more, Scorpio is an assassin with keen five senses, so even if he does nothing and just acts as an alarm, it would be good.
Scorpio naturally had no resistance to this arrangement. He wished he could tie himself to Cheng Shi's legs to prevent Cheng Shi from running too fast and leaving him behind.
Speaking of which, this little assassin is the smartest person. Although his mind is not fast, he has been practicing what he said at the beginning, that is: treat the boss sincerely, and then rely on the boss to lead you.
He has been consistent in sticking to his teammates.
The two men walked quickly. Scorpio looked around vigilantly, and Cheng Shi kept observing the people around him. The people of Dolgod still had some uneasiness on their faces. It could be seen that the chaos of yesterday had spread. Although the church had made its utmost efforts to control the situation, panic still spread among the crowd.
After all, when God appears, ordinary people who don't know the inside story will uncontrollably think of the worst possible situation.
They were afraid that evil would spread in Dolgod and that pagans would hide among the people and cause chaos. However, they did not know that at this moment, the biggest "pagan" was right next to them and could hear every conversation they had with each other.
After walking for a while, Scorpio, who was following Cheng Shi, became unsteady. He frowned in confusion and asked uncertainly:
"Brother, where are we going?
We're heading in the wrong direction.
Figure... Didn't Avros say that Lisfield's house was behind the market northeast of the church, but I remember this road...
It seems to be the way back to the church?"
"You remember correctly. This is the way back to church."
"Ah?" Scorpio felt that he had been trying very hard to keep up with Cheng Shi's thinking, but he still failed. This big shot never seemed to play by common logic, and every time there was no accident, it seemed that he could not be considered to have followed the plan.
Cheng Shi smiled and said, "The plan has changed. We will not look for Lisfield anymore. Let's go directly to the church and look for... Berrios."
Scorpio stumbled after hearing this and said in shock:
"Headmaster? Should we go find Turadin's father?
No, brother, that's not what you said last night!"
"You already said that was last night. The moon in the sky has now turned into the sun. Isn't it normal for me to change my plans?"
"......"
Scorpio forced a stiff smile and followed obediently without saying a word.
He really wanted to have a smart brain like the [foolish] believers, but he didn't have it. However, he was better than most of the [foolish] believers in that he was honest, obedient, and able to put aside his pride.
Seeing that Scorpio stopped asking, Cheng Shi smacked his lips, as if he remembered an old friend who was not very supportive, then he sighed and started explaining himself.
"Tuladin said something right, faith, humanity, and wisdom, people can only choose two out of the three. Guess which two her father Berrios chose?"
Scorpio thought for a moment and said tentatively:
“Faith and wisdom?
Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs, but he killed his own child, which is inhumane."
Cheng Shi nodded, then shook his head:
"That's half right, he is indeed inhumane, but...
He also has no faith.
What I meant is that at most two out of three can be chosen. Of course, there is also the possibility of only choosing one, and Berrios only took the wisdom among them.
He is a cunning and scheming manipulator!"
"Ah?" Scorpio was stunned, then shook his head vigorously, "He is the leader of the Divine Education Church, how could he not have faith?"
“This is also what interests me the most. Think about it, Tualatin admits that her father is an old fox. But since even Tualatin can see through Lisfield’s character, can’t Berrios, as the head of the church, see it?
I'm afraid not. As an opponent, Lisfil understands her father better than Tualatin. Then, as an opponent as well, how could Berrios not understand Lisfil?
But even though he knew that the other party was a man who specialized in political schemes and was not a very devout believer in their benefactor [Birth], the leader still did not deal with his opponent.
If he was a devout believer in Birth, the mere fact of "being disloyal to God" would be enough for him to throw Lisfield into the abyss.
But he didn't.
After much thought, I can only come to one conclusion, that is, our leader is not a devout person. He may deliberately allow his opponents to do some small actions, and then establish his own image by clearing up the chaos, and thereby continuously consolidate his authority.
