42 Strong belife

"Who doesn't know someone like you, Mr Burnet. One of the important people in the circle of friends, Miss Irina Triase. —ah, And One who is as sinful as that woman. "

For some reason, this guy was starting to feel annoying. Really, how is that possible? This is the first time we've met this close and he immediately showed hostility. I've never dealt with this man before.

"Sinful or not, all of that is just your personal view. Too fast to jump to conclusions about someone, in the end it will cost you. "

He smiled, Rei then smiled like someone who saw a lie. He then replied to me.

"Having a bad circle of friends can change a person at any time. Even though in their little hearts they are very sincere, but the whispers of the devil will definitely influence him until he can drop someone down the abyss. "

Ah— was he talking about Zen? It seems so.

"Regarding Zen, he is actually still alive. I don't know what luck he has, the potion I gave him seems to be able to get him out of the Dungeon. "

Too lucky person, I can say that Zen seems to have quite high luck.

Think about it, a person who fell into the abyss, even if he somehow survived but the Dungeon right below the abyss would usually be inhabited by monstrous beasts. Then how could Zen survive while he was just an ordinary Swordsman?

Could he actually be a master at hiding? Even so, someone skilled at hiding needed luck to live.

However like most people in school, that young man dressed like a priest that was Rei, would have answered very simply.

"Those who pray to the goddess will definitely get help. I'm sure that's what made brother Zen survive even though he was hurt by someone who has no heart. "

Rei said it was like someone who saw a miracle. Faith seems to make Rei feel a saint who is far from evil.

Rei then drew closer to me, he lowered his voice before saying something.

"The businessman faction stands beneath the evil. Especially Miss Irina, I've never seen her come to church, a person who doesn't worship a goddess can't be called someone with a good personality. So, isn't Mr. Burnet able to think again to try to stay away from infidels who refuse to repent. "

He had stated his motive. Before Kyle answered, Rei returned to continue his unfinished words.

"You know Brother Kyle. Miss Irina has committed countless crimes in this country, the goddess will definitely curse her actions. Bribing government councils to secure parliamentary seats for their followers, then monopolizing the market from ordinary citizens trying to sell their wares cheaply. Isn't that greedy? The farmers tried to sell their wares during the harvest, it would make the merchandise cheap but Miss Irina refused that. Several years ago a great famine befell the republic, but because the goddess has provided assistance, the disaster was soon overcome, I believe, if we obey her orders all the problems in the world can be resolved. Not like what Miss Irina did. "

Legends and such are synonymous with casual games. But should it all be so innocent, it just feels infuriating when he tries to sway people away from his own allies with a dramatic approach.

I'm sure, if an innocent gamer were to hear this story, he would definitely assume that people like Rei are characters who walk with justice, while characters who walk with evil are me and Irina. Yes, that's how a Villain should be.

I then replied to Rei's words when I started to understand what Irina was trying to do.

"Maintaining market balance is very important to do. I know my fiancé Irina well, she seems to be trying to pressure the farmers not to change the price of goods like idiots just because of the abundant harvest. If the price of food needs is very cheap, people will definitely buy it, then when the storehouse runs out, in winter after the harvest there will be nothing left. Irina didn't believe the citizens of the Republic were smart enough to be able to suppress their uncontrolled lust, if this wasn't calculated carefully, the famine might just happen again. "

I emphasize it all so that it is easy to understand. In this world, where industrial mechanics and steam engines are not widely used, basic human needs can be met by storing them like water in cups or importing them from abroad.

But as you know, the businessmen faction under the leadership of the Triase family lacks the legal protection to go that far. Everything is locked by bureaucratic policies.

I can understand why Irina said that her family had a plan to take over the government by starving the people, the reason she wanted to do that gradually started to emerge. In a legal way, it is clear that the business faction has no chance.

It seems that the Triase family is trying to learn the science of becoming a successful illegal businessman from the Burnet family. This is ridiculous. Hmm....

While I was thinking all that, Rei returned to me with an answer that made me not want to say anything.

"This is what I don't like about people like you. Trying to explain everything with logic, human thinking ability is very limited, in order to understand the grace of the goddess, what humans need is belief not a thought. That's what makes you get lost in the abyss of disobedience."

—ah, this person. I know this world is filled with magic and wonders and cursed creatures like dragons or giant snakes, but I, someone who comes from the modern world, someone who is based on logic from when I was in college to working, naturally wouldn't completely depend on something. very uncertain. I can say that if I didn't use logic, I wouldn't get any job or graduate from college.

Then to see someone like Rei suppressing his logic for the sake of a belief in a goddess, I don't understand at all. Why did he do that? Should he go this far?

"To understand the goddess's scripture, it's much better to use logic, how can you possibly understand the goddess' message if you can't think at all? All of this is not as easy as eating apples, it takes a process and a good way of understanding to get actual results," Kyle said in a low voice.

"Enough! Trying to interpret the message of the goddess for personal gain, that is an act of the heathen that I cannot forgive. Only the priests of the church could interpret the scriptures of the goddess, people who are impure are certainly not qualified to do so. "

Yes, of course he would say that. That stupid goddess of yours who has cursed me is just as annoying as you.

A person like him was the type to reject any form of discussion with the same answer which was "Everything for the sake of the beliefs that I have" that was fine with me, this would only prove to myself that talking to him from the start was pointless.

Alright, looks like I have to get out of here.

....

Under the moonlight that penetrates the glass surface, the inn with dozens of rooms has been provided by the burnet family to be occupied by employees.

One of the rooms has a plush armchair, complete with a small round table and a glass of hot tea.

A little smoke came out of the tea then a mature woman blew before taking a sip. Enter through the throat and then exhale smoothly full of satisfaction.

After a while, the mature woman opened her mouth.

"Once the commander gets his powers back, we'll probably have a lot of work to handle. "

"Madam Lisa, commander will definitely get his powers back. But I don't know how much trouble it caused before that happened. Before we know it, we may be at a point where we really need time. "

Lisa then answered with a small smile to a hooded man who asked.

"It is our duty to deal with insignificant matters. "

The Commander has not given any orders since serving in the Republic. Everything seemed normal until something shocking happened, it was something that anyone in the organization would clearly understand.

Lisa has heard the reports. Maybe something big will happen and this is the first step to achieve it all.

With a small grin, Lisa then turned to her partner, she wanted to say something.

"The sect meeting, the commander refused it in favor of going to the dungeon. Do you think it's just a coincidence? Of course not, I'm assuming it's one of the keys to unsealing the commander's power. "

All of Lisa's black-hooded comrades shrugged their shoulders briefly. They seemed surprised because their theory seemed right.

The mysterious commander is always difficult to guess, but this time their task in coming to the Republic seems complete. Would they be assigned elsewhere, just like what had happened in the Kingdom? Some of them seem to feel that way.

But there were some doubts, so someone asked Lisa.

"Madam, about that little girl—"

"You mean Lily Burnet? "

"Yes, you accepted his request to go to the House of Shadows academy, why did you accept that? It was the commander's territorial area as one of the seven great commanders of the Theocracy army. I thought it would be better if madam reconsidered. "

Turning the teacup for a moment then looking down, Lisa could see the reflection of her pretty face from the water which was illuminated by the moonlight.

The black uniform, and the sweet face match the big breasts. Lisa felt that this was one way to be able to enjoy a quiet night.

After a while, Lisa then answered.

"Miss Lily has a talent for Dark Magic, she is one of the best. I had been attracted to him since then, but the Republic didn't have the intelligence to grasp that potential. It would have been better for Miss Lily if she had gone to the House of Shadows academy a long time ago, this might be a bit late, but much better than nothing. Once the trade goods of the Triase family have been prepared, we will also take Miss Lily to the Teocracy before going to the Elf territory. "
