Chapter 345: Sharing blessings and sharing hardships

jingle.

The blood-stained knife was thrown on the table. Old Bruce's open chest with strong muscles had healed. Apart from some bright red blood stains, no wounds could be seen at all. He said with a sad expression:

"Storm! The church and the gods have blessed me with a strong body and extraordinary abilities, but I, and I! Although I patrol every day and work hard, I can't protect the safety of ordinary citizens, Duke Negan!"

Damn! An ordinary citizen? A duke?! Even Roy, who knew the purpose in advance, couldn't hold back.

"Hey, Duke Negan's mansion originally had a strong enough church to send people, but our group has never been welcomed by the nobles... Everyone thinks we are liars! Therefore, the Punishers we sent were the last to arrive at the scene!

"Hey, if our Mandated Punishers, Nighthawks, and Mechanical Hearts could get more cooperation and trust, and could protect the believers closely... what kind of scene would that be! In that case, would Duke Negan be able to survive..."

Hiss! You really do look like a liar! Earl Hall took a deep breath. Could it be that it was just a trick? The knife only stabbed the blood bag on his chest? No, no, this is not the time to expose that trick!
Earl Hall was also relieved. Storm's old Blue had made it very clear. Well, a little too clear! Very blunt...

That’s good, as long as the church still has needs... it’s good. The worst thing is that the church doesn’t need anything... that would be a big problem!
Now it depends on whether it is Storm's will or the three churches uniting...

Earl Hall quietly glanced at the representatives of the Goddess Church and the Steam Church, and found that their attention was also focused on him...

He knew clearly that the three major churches had reached a tacit understanding. They needed an influential person among the nobles to issue a call or approval... and he was involved in the assassination of Duke Negan, so the church had evidence against him... All in all, he was the most suitable candidate!
The Earl finally felt at ease. He had analyzed the cause and effect of this matter! It seemed that Jacob's visit was indeed instructed by Feng Bao! Then the follow-up personnel arrived!
This is a good thing! If we can really get the support of the three major churches...it doesn't matter even if we offend some nobles!
He suddenly realized, then said solemnly:
"So it is, so it is!

"I said that the church would never let criminals go unpunished, nor would it stand by and do nothing while believers were harmed! It turns out that the church is facing such a dilemma!
“Alas, different identities also lead to different perspectives on issues.

"Before this, I was limited by my status as a noble and an ordinary citizen! I should have seen the expectations of the church and our guardians earlier! It is us who have failed the church!

"No doubt about it, the Hall family will be the first to stand up and support the church's decision! From now on, the safety of our family will be entirely handed over to the Goddess Church!
"Phew, we finally feel the long-lost peace and can finally sleep peacefully...

"Praise the goddess!" Earl Hall pointed to the full moon on his chest and said devoutly.

Old Bruce took the lead in applauding and praised:
"You are worthy of being the Earl who had the courage to sell his land, resolutely entered the banking industry and achieved great success. Your decision is as wise as ever!

"Daly, why are you silent? The devout believers of the goddess have sworn to accept the protection of the church!"

"Shut up, old man!" Daly slapped the wooden chair hard, and then her green eyes suddenly became deep, as if there was a rotating black hole in them, which seemed to be able to suck in people's souls.

Whoosh! A cold wind appeared out of nowhere, causing the candlelight on the crystal chandelier to flicker. Then, the "Dead Spirit Mentor" Daly turned her head to face her left, whispering something in a language that humans could not understand, and then tilted her ear to listen to something.

Soon, the table returned to calm, and the abnormality in Daly's eyes disappeared. She nodded to the astonished Earl Hall, and then said:

"His Excellency Saint Anthony has learned about what happened to the Hall family, and the Archbishop has issued instructions: the evildoers must not be let off, but no good people must be wrongly accused." The Hall family is a devout believer in the goddess, and the church is willing to believe in the Hall family.

“If you are not busy, please come to the chapel of St. Samuel’s Church tomorrow morning, where His Excellency St. Anthony will personally hold a mass ceremony.

"Praise the goddess!"

"Praise the goddess!" The count hurriedly returned the greeting and continued:
"No rush! I will definitely be there on time! Thank you Ms. Daly, and praise Saint Anthony!"

"Congratulations!" Old Bruce first bowed, then sighed and said with a frustrated look:

"What a pity, what a pity! Why don't we in Storm have someone as wise, decisive, and close to the church as Earl Hall... Hey, Daly, I really envy you..."

Count Hall certainly knew what Storm meant, and he said immediately:

"Yes! Of course I do! To be honest, I have spent most of my energy on business in recent years. From now on, I will return to my original intention and serve the goddess more devoutly!

“But I also made a lot of connections because of this…

"I would like to nominate a noble, old Viscount Learson, who is a devout believer of the Storm! His situation is similar to my family's, and he also attended Duke Negan's ball last night... If you allow me, I will send someone to invite him to discuss important matters!" Earl Hall's own crisis was resolved, and he didn't mind asking the Learson family, with whom he had been friends for generations, for a hand. What's more... In this kind of situation, if one family takes the lead, it will always become the target of public criticism...

Emperor Roselle said it well: If you have blessings, you should share them with your friends; if you have difficulties, you should share them with everyone!
"Lilson? The Kangs family?" Old Blue asked in surprise:

“I didn’t see Conse yesterday. Did he get involved too?

"Ikanser, is it possible that the seal of your house is broken and you can't tell it apart?"

"Bah! You can question everything else we do, but never question our professionalism!" Ikanser drank another glass of red wine and said in a louder voice:

"The seal we created based on an item from the Nighthawks is absolutely flawless. Anyone brought into that world is undoubtedly a Beyonder!
"Are you fucking drunk? Maybe he's not a Beyonder or wasn't even there!"

Earl Hall's heart tightened. He had just told his daughter that her Beyonder identity had been exposed and there was no chance of luck in this matter. He immediately said to Daly, who was watching the show on the side:

“Ma’am, the little girl… is young, and with the help of her friends and the tacit approval of her mother and me, she has become an extraordinary person.

“I wonder how the church will deal with this...?”
