Chapter 139: The Infiltration of Eternal Night, the Kingdom’s Strategy

As everyone left, the church fell silent again. The remaining nobles took off their masks, revealing their slightly childish faces. All five of them were young men no older than eighteen years old.

There were both men and women, and one could tell at a glance that they were all either rich or noble.

"What a bunch of lowly poor people! If the envoy of God hadn't asked me to come over, I really wouldn't bother to pay attention to them." The beautiful woman looked at the dirty and messy scene on the ground with disgust after everyone left.

A woman who was born high and mighty and enjoyed a life of luxury, seldom came to the outer cities, let alone the slums.

In the eyes of the nobles, the outer city is where beggars stay. Just taking a look here will pollute the body and require several days of cleaning.

"Keep your voice down, Alia, and be respectful to the gods." A handsome young man said.

"understood."

The woman had a look of disdain on her face, but because of her status as a young person, she still responded.

The young man hid the statue, and then used a scroll to clean the impurities in the church.

After everything was back to normal, they checked again to make sure there was nothing obvious missing, then put on their black robes and quickly left the church.

"Let's meet at the old place." said the handsome young man who was obviously the leader.

"it is good."

Everyone responded.

After leaving the church, the five people quickly separated, got on the carriage, and regained their noble status.

Young Ma En took a carriage all the way to the junction of the inner and outer cities. At this time, martial law was imposed here and a team of soldiers was guarding outside the city gate.

"Stop anyone who comes."

The guard raised his hand and shouted to the carriage.

"Get out of the way! Can't you see this is the carriage of Victor's family? Are you blind? You even dare to stop the carriage of Victor's family!" Seeing this, the coachman on the carriage hurriedly shouted and was very arrogant.

However, he does have the capital to be arrogant. The Victor family is a first-class family in the Moshi Kingdom. Their ancestors had produced a great figure who was a seventh-level strongman. The current head of the family is also a great figure who is at the peak of the sixth level, only half a step away from the seventh level.

In addition, there are many sixth-level elders in the family, which can be said to be very powerful.

Not to mention just a few guards, even the commander of the imperial guards would give face to the Victor family.

Even though he was just a groom, he was still the groom of the Victor family and was not someone these guard dogs could afford to offend.

"you……"

The guard who intercepted the carriage was obviously new, young and energetic. When he heard what the coachman said, he became annoyed and immediately drew his sword to check the carriage.

The old soldier nearby saw this and quickly pulled the young guard to his side, smiling and apologizing.
"Haha, sir... sorry, sorry, he is new here and doesn't know the rules. Please go inside." After so many years in the royal capital, the old guard has long lost his original passion.

Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked.

This is a problem that everyone needs to be aware of when arriving in the royal capital.

The coachman snorted coldly and was about to say something when the young man in the carriage said, "Ster, don't be rude... You all have worked hard to protect the safety of the inner city." As he spoke, a bag of something flew out of the window. It was a bag of heavy gold coins.

"Sir, this..." The old soldier took the bag, felt the size of it, and was a little puzzled.

"It's hot, let's buy some drinks for the brothers, Ste. Let's go."

"Yes, Master."

Under the gaze of the guards, the carriage slowly moved forward, entered the inner city, and soon disappeared.

After they left, the old soldier opened the bag and his eyes were immediately filled with the brilliance of the gold coins. He instantly took a deep breath:
"Hiss... Wow, the young master of the Victor family is really generous. This is at least dozens of gold coins, which is my annual salary."

A guard nearby had his eyes sparkling and said jokingly, "Boss, everyone who sees it gets a share. Victor's master said he would buy some wine for the brothers..."

Gollum—

"Damn it, I haven't had a good drink in a while. When I change shifts later, how about going to Rose House for a drink together?"

"Walk around..."

"How generous!"

The other guards standing nearby also gathered together and joined in the booing.

"Who am I to take your money? You should stay here for the rest of the time and leave after the shift changes." The guard leader holding the bag of gold coins rolled his eyes and said unhappily when he heard what everyone said.

The crowd then dispersed, returned to their respective posts, and continued chatting.

The guard leader patted the young guard on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Boy, when working in the capital, the most important thing is to have good eyesight, especially for those of us who have to meet many important people every day. If you don't have good eyesight and offend someone, you may be hacked to death."

The young guard was silent for a while, still a little unconvinced, and muttered: "This is the capital, I am the guard of the kingdom, do they really dare to kill me in public!?"

"You must not have read the laws of the kingdom carefully. How dare they do that."

The guard leader smiled, then said solemnly: "According to the laws of the kingdom, nobles only need to pay a certain amount of gold coins when they kill someone. The young master just saw it, gold coins are just a number to them. A casual tip can buy a life."

"If they're willing to go through the trouble of hiring an assassin, this bag of gold coins could even buy you two lives."

"How is this possible!" The young guard was shocked and couldn't believe that his life was so humble.

"Nothing is impossible. Reality is so cruel. To put it nicely, we are the kingdom's defenders. To put it bluntly, we are just the nobles' guard dogs. It's nothing special."

"..."

"Think about it carefully when you go back. If you really can't change, I advise you not to stay in the capital any longer and leave here as soon as possible."

……

……

Inner city, aristocratic area.

In a yard, Ma En and his four companions gathered again.

Looking at the black-robed divine envoy who was sitting on a stone bench not far ahead, tasting the fine wine, everyone's eyes were burning. Ma En stepped forward and reported the situation:

"Lord God's Messenger, we have presided over and completed this prayer meeting, with 24 new believers."

"You have done a great job. You are indeed loyal servants of our Lord."

The black-robed envoy turned his gaze towards him and praised him. Ma En and the other four looked excited, as if they were expecting something.

They gave up their wonderful lives and ran to the smelly slums to promote the church. It was not because they had nothing better to do, nor did they truly believe in the so-called gods, but it was for tangible benefits.

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the black-robed divine envoy, but he also spoke as the others wished:

"My Lord is never stingy with rewards for loyal believers. If you do a good job in the tasks assigned by my Lord, you will be rewarded. This is a gift from God. You should be pious in your heart and praise my Lord!"

"Praise the most powerful and holy King of Eternal Night!" Without hesitation, the five people knelt on the ground and bowed, shouting with great enthusiasm.

The black-robed messenger also stood up, looked up at the sky, placed his right hand on his chest, and bowed.

Then the light of the moon in the yard suddenly dimmed, and a few drops of "rain" fell, hitting the five people with incredible precision, and then merged into them.

In an instant, black light burst out from the eyes of the five people, and the meridians in their bodies began to change, as they were forcibly unblocked and transformed by a mysterious force.

Their strength began to rise, and after a while, they broke through the bottleneck and moved up a level. "Praise the Eternal Night!!!"

Ma En, who benefited the most, was promoted directly from level three to level four. Feeling the change in his own strength, he could not hide the excitement on his face and shouted excitedly.

"Praise the Eternal Night!"

"Praise the Eternal Night!"

The other four people were the same, their faces were excited and they shouted devoutly.

As they are from noble families, they can see the true nature of this world more clearly than anyone else.

The essence of this world is very simple: whoever has the bigger fist has the most effective words.

Whether it is power, status, wealth, or beauty, these can be obtained through strength.

As long as one has the strength, even a poor person can become a top noble overnight, and even overthrow the royal power and become king himself.

To the outside world, they are privileged young masters and young ladies of the upper aristocracy, but their own family knows their own business. There are many young masters and young ladies like them in the family, at least dozens if not a hundred, and they are not valued by the family at all.

Ultimately, it’s because their talent is not good enough.

Even if their family is wealthy and has many resources, it is impossible to train all disciples. It is normal to give resources to those disciples who have shown talent.

Disciples like them who have no talent for cultivation can rely on the power of their family and live a comfortable life, but in fact they have been abandoned.

Their only role is to have more children and contribute to expanding the family.

It is for this reason that, after feeling the effects of the gods' gifts, they quickly converted to the Eternal Night Cult and became believers.

"Go."

The divine enhancement was over, and the black-robed envoy waved his hand and asked these guys to leave quickly.

The five people bowed again, then turned and left. Halfway through, the young man Ma En stopped and turned around to ask:
"Lord God's Envoy, I wonder how we can make a greater contribution to the Religion of God." After being promoted to the fourth level, Ma En's ambition became greater, and he wanted to obtain more God's grace.

The black-robed envoy saw through Ma En's thoughts and knew that he was so active for the sake of profit. However, he was not angry. He chuckled and said, "Preach and let more lost lambs receive the glory of our Lord."

Ma En and the other four thanked him again and turned to walk out of the yard.

After they left, the black-robed envoy took off the mask on his face. He was a young man in his twenties. Looking at the gate, he said to himself with disdain:

"A bunch of false believers. If the clan leader had not been merciful and unwilling to commit more murders, they would all have died."

His name is Lin Wei. He is one of the missionaries sent here by the Night Tribe. He is a sixth-rank dark magician, powerful and smart.

"Don't worry about it. Once they are truly bathed in the glory of our Lord, they will naturally make the right choice."

A voice came from the side, and a figure turned from virtual to real and appeared on the stone bench opposite. This was also a missionary from the Night Tribe.

“Hmph… a bunch of greedy and cowardly people who probably can’t even survive the Dark Trial. How can they be worthy of bathing in the divine light of our Lord!?” Lin Wei sneered and said with disdain.

"It is precisely because they are people like this that we can infiltrate, isn't it?" Another missionary appeared and chuckled.

More and more missionaries showed up, dozens of them in total, the weakest of whom were at level six, and among them there were two level seven warriors.

And these are only the people in charge of the royal capital. There are dark missionaries in every city in the Moshi Kingdom.

There may be as few as a few people or as many as dozens of people.

In order to deal with the Moshi Kingdom, Su Xingyu sent most of the missionaries in the Eternal Night Cult over.

No one can resist the temptation of power, especially those who have power but no talent for cultivation.

……

……

Royal Palace.

"What does Lord Night say? Are you willing to join the Kingdom's army in conquering Green Nest?"

Sitting on the throne, the king, who was in his prime, had been in a high position for a long time and was full of dignity. He looked at the ministers below and asked softly.

"This……"

The middle-aged man kneeling below looked a little hesitant.

"explain."

King Moshi's voice got slightly louder.

"The Night City Lord refused."

The middle-aged man said tremblingly: "He said that the Lord of the Green Nest is extremely powerful. If he takes the initiative to attack, even he will not be able to resist the Lord of the Green Nest in the opponent's home court. Therefore, he is unwilling to attack the Green Nest. He also said..." As he spoke, the middle-aged man became more afraid and hesitated.

"What?" King Moshi frowned.

"He also said that he hopes Your Majesty will give up the idea of ​​conquering the Lord of the Green Nest. Peace is not easy to achieve, so don't start a war in vain." The middle-aged man finished his words in one breath, and then knocked his head to the ground, not daring to look at the king's face.

"Humph--"

The king snorted coldly, very dissatisfied, and then looked at the burly man standing in the front row: "Avery, it was you who advocated giving him the land in the beginning, but now it's only been a few months and he has the momentum to go out on his own. What do you think we should do?"

Avery, the former first warrior of the kingdom, was silent for a while and looked at the magician next to him, as if asking for help.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a plan." The magician stood up and chuckled.

"Oh, I wonder what plan the national teacher has." King Moshi looked at him expectantly.

"It's very simple. Since Lord Night is unwilling to cooperate with the kingdom in conquering Green Nest, we can just lure Green Nest over here. Given the character of the Lord of Green Nest, he will inevitably come into conflict with him... If this continues for a few times, their army won't be able to hold out for long. Maybe by then, they will ask us to send troops to conquer Green Nest without us even asking." The National Master said with a sinister smile on his face.

"What do you think of the Imperial Master's plan?" The king did not give a direct answer, but touched his chin and looked at the others and asked.

"Good idea."

"As expected of you, you are the national teacher."

"This plan has no solution. There was an agreement when we granted them the fiefdom. We granted them the fiefdom and let them integrate into the kingdom, and they need to stop the attack of the Green Nest."

Everyone gave positive comments and praised the national teacher's strategy.

"Since you all think it's okay, let's do it." The king was also very satisfied with this plan and made the decision immediately.

"Wouldn't it be better to reduce the supply of resources to them?" someone suggested.

"No."

As soon as the man finished speaking, before anyone else could discuss the matter, the Imperial Master spoke up to stop him, "Our main opponent right now is still Green Nest, not them. Reducing resources is tantamount to directly breaking off relations with them... Now is not the time yet."

"All right."

Without letting the crowd continue the discussion, the king continued:
"Let the Imperial Master arrange this matter. All the power of the kingdom is under the command of the Imperial Master."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Imperial Master's face lit up with joy.

"The next thing is that there is an organization called Evernight operating in various parts of the kingdom."
