Chapter 415： Do you dare to try

While "Father Brendan" was still thinking about countermeasures, a group of people walked in at the gate of the Generous Church. The leader was a young man in a black hat with a silver cane in his hand, followed by seven or eight men and women. Unremarkable big cow.

Such a lineup is really strange, not only the many believers present were surprised and curious, but even the monks in black under Brendan were shocked.

"Are you... are you also believers who come to the church of Generosity?"

A middle-aged man near the door asked hesitantly.

Chen Lun smiled at him, and said gently:

"Of course, so to speak."

Immediately, he took a step forward, leading his subordinates to stride forward.

Seeing this, the believers in front could not help but step aside and looked at the group of strangers who came in suspiciously.

The black-clothed priest standing on the bulletin board suddenly changed his face, walked down the high platform respectfully and flatteringly, came to the head of the black hat youth, made a very standard prayer, and bowed his head to say hello:

"Golden Cup Congressman Brendan, I have met Mr. Jack Speight!"

The faces of the believers showed shocking expressions.

Father Brendan was so respectful to this young man, and even called him the Consul... Could it be that he is a high-ranking member of the Generous Council, a clergyman who is closer to the "God of Contract"?

"Master Jack Consul."

In order to express their respect to the God of Contract and their own devout beliefs, nearly a hundred believers in the lobby imitated Brendan and greeted Chen Lun.

Chen Lun smiled, nodded to everyone, and said slowly:

"Everyone can call me Father Jack. From now on, I will be in charge of this church of our Lord, preaching to every believer, and proclaiming the "Justice Document" of our Lord's teachings."

"What about Father Brendan...?"

asked the fat rich businessman before.

The rest of the believers are also somewhat concerned about this issue. After all, the Council of Generosity is the new Orthodox Church. They first came into contact with this priest Brendan, and they get along more familiarly.

"Ah... I will be transferred to a church in another area, thank you for your concern."

Brendan glanced at Chen Lun's face and found that the other party was still smiling, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Wangcheng Church is located in the heart of the empire, and its importance is self-evident. Of course, we need more senior and outstanding clergymen from my church to sit in it...Compared to me, Mr. Jack is the most suitable. Please rest assured, Mr. Jack will definitely help every believer Soothes worries."

"It turns out that..."

The believers nodded. Although they were a little bit reluctant, they still chose to accept it.

Although the black-hat gentleman in front of him looks too young, he has a higher status than Father Brendan after all. I believe he can solve any business problems and confusion about the doctrine in the future.

At this time, Chen Lun seemed to have discovered something novelty suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face, he pointed to the large golden wine glass on the wooden platform beside him and asked:

"what is this?"

"Forehead…"

Brendan's expression tightened, and panic flashed in his eyes.

The believers were a little puzzled, how could this Father Jack in front of him not even know about the "Holy Water of Atonement", which is obviously a gift from the generous parliament...

Among the crowd, a tall and thin businessman stepped forward, prayed and replied:

"This is the 'Holy Water of Atonement' given to everyone by Father Brendan. It can wash away the mistakes we have made and be forgiven by the 'God of Contract'."

Brendan's expression became more tense. He was about to open his mouth to explain, but Chen Lun raised his hand first, stopping his words.

"It turned out to be 'Holy Water of Atonement'."

Chen Lun pretended to be dazed.

He glanced at Brendan calmly and sneered to himself.

In fact, before he came in just now, he split his fingers into little white snakes and slipped into the church ahead of time, spying on everything. So Chen Lun knew very well that this guy was simply using the name of the King of Slaughter, bluffing and defrauding, and amassing money wantonly.

His Majesty Conrad may not pay attention to such a trivial matter, and even if he knows it, he will not pay attention to it.

But Chen Lun couldn't let this kind of thing happen under his nose. After all, the Wangcheng Church is now under his jurisdiction... If this matter is revealed, it will not only damage the prestige of the generous parliament, but also make the elders The other consuls of the house, even the speaker, looked down on him.

In the first days of the Generous Council, everything should be done with care.

Otherwise, the reputation gained in the Scarlet Battle is very likely to be ruined by some trivial things.

Although Chen Lun is not a loyal believer of the King of Slaughter, he is also indebted to him, and holds a high-level position in the parliament, so he should take action to protect the face of the parliament.

His smiling face gradually dissipated, replaced by a serious and indifferent expression.

Brendan's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said "Oops."

However, Chen Lun said in a slightly reproachful tone:

"The Generosity Church was first built, and many believers who believe in our Lord came here admiringly. We should love them as we love our relatives... How can you fool everyone with this ordinary 'Holy Water of Atonement'? Father Brendan?"

"Ordinary...'Holy Water of Atonement'?"

Brendan was stunned.

He originally thought that Consul Jack would expose his deception in public, and then reprimand or blame him, but he didn't expect that the other party did not do so at all.

"Father Jack, you mean... Is there any other 'Holy Water of Atonement'?"

The believers looked at each other, and the fat rich businessman hesitated to speak out.

After seeing Father Brendan's surprised expression, they were a little puzzled, unable to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

"certainly."

Chen Lun nodded calmly.

He gently raised his hand, picked up the small cup on the table and scooped it into the golden wine glass, and then drank the "Holy Water of Atonement".

I thought to myself, what a lie, this is tap water, it hasn't even been boiled... Isn't it a joke for Brendan to make people drink holy water and get stomach upset? Even if you cheat money, you still take care of their health!

"This is indeed an ordinary 'Holy Water of Atonement'."

Chen Lun lowered his eyes and said softly.

"However, our religion also has a more advanced and sacred 'Holy Water of Atonement', which is a god-given item that only the lucky ones who are favored by our Lord are eligible to enjoy...it can not only wash away past sins, but also heal diseases , restore injuries, and even delay the aging of lifespan and appearance.”

The "Holy Water" he was talking about was the "Fountain of Youth" found in the Coleridge Forest before, and there were several large barrels in the Blood Poem ring.

This thing has little effect on extraordinary people, but it is very attractive to ordinary people.

Especially rich and powerful upper-class people.

The believers in front of you are good audiences.

Of course, Chen Lun will not expose Brendan's despicable behavior in public, because this is also a disguised admission that the priests of the Generous Council are cheating for money, which is not conducive to maintaining prestige.

He intends to take this opportunity to make amends, to turn the original deception into reality, to achieve the purpose of promoting the reputation of the generous parliament, and to reverse a bad thing into a good thing.

As for Brendan, after the matter is over, we will settle the matter with him slowly.

"Is there really such holy water? Father Jack?"

Beside the fat rich businessman sat an old man in luxurious clothes. His eyes lit up, he stood up tremblingly, and asked expectantly.

Besides him, there are many believers who also show desire and expectation.

Women yearn for eternal youth, old people yearn for a longer life, and patients yearn for good health... The holy water that Chen Lun mentioned hits their deepest desires.

"I was ordered to be transferred to the Wangcheng Church, and I happened to be given a little of this holy water."

Chen Lun nodded in recognition, and then took out a fist-sized gold cup from his bosom, which contained half a cup of clear and transparent water, not much, only about four or five mouthfuls.

Everyone turned their fiery gazes in unison, staring fixedly at the golden cup in his hand.

Even Brendan and his men beside him couldn't help but be amazed.

Consul Jack really brought out this kind of thing?

I have never heard of the Generous Council having such a "holy water of redemption"...

Chen Lun snapped his fingers.

Snapped!

The large gold cup belonging to Brendan on the table slowly floated up, and immediately a ray of orange-red extraordinary flame climbed up the cup, and within a few breaths, the "Holy Water of Atonement" inside boiled.

The believers exclaimed again and again.

Looking at Father Jack's calm face, he felt his tall figure grow taller. However, Chen Lun just wanted to boil this cup of tap water to prevent these believers from having a stomachache.

Immediately, Chen Lun poured the "Fountain of Immortality" in his hand into a large golden cup.

"All believers present can drink a small cup for free."

He spoke slowly.

Everyone immediately boiled up.

"Father Jack, you are too generous!"

"This is your personal reward, and you actually took it out to share with us..."

"Praise the contract, thank you for your gift!"

Chen Lun turned his head, and with a smile on his face, he asked Brendan to arrange staff to scoop out the holy water from the cup and distribute it to every believer.

The latter was taken aback for a moment, and immediately agreed.

"Okay... yes, Master Jack."

With the help of the monk in black, nearly a hundred people present took a sip of the "Holy Water of Atonement" added by Chen Lun, but their reactions were also quite intense.

The fat rich businessman breathed a sigh of relief on the spot, his face was ruddy, and he said excitedly:

"It's... great, I have never felt so energetic in my body, and the cold I had two days ago suddenly healed up, it's amazing!"

"Sure enough, it is a fetish bestowed by the great 'God of Contract'. My decades of joint pain have disappeared! Can I really live for two more years? Thank you, Father Jack, thank you so much Already!"

After drinking the water, the old man stood up straight, and when he talked about the emotion, he couldn't help crying.

The believers were overjoyed.

On the other hand, Brendan finally realized that Master Jack probably took out some extraordinary thing to serve as the so-called "holy water", but this made him feel a little pity.

It is really a waste to use such a good thing on these ordinary people.

Today’s service is over. After expressing their gratitude, the believers expressed that they would come to the church to pray every day. Chen Lun smiled and nodded slightly, watching them leave one after another.

After the Generosity Church was quiet, Brendan said with a low eyebrow:

"Master Jack, I received the news that you will come to the Wangcheng branch a month ago. I didn't expect you to come today. Please forgive me for being far away."

Chen Lun just glanced at him lightly, but didn't speak.

Brendan's heart was pounding, feeling that something was wrong.

"My lord Jack...I didn't deceive those people, it's just that the new parliament, those wealthy businessmen have more or less played tricks in the business field, otherwise they wouldn't have accumulated so much wealth...Using the 'Holy Water of Atonement' to make them feel Feel better, and it can also increase the support for the parliament, and I didn't deliberately defraud the property, it was all donated by them voluntarily."

He quickly explained.

Boom!

The door of the Church of Generosity was suddenly closed, and the light suddenly dimmed.

Brendan was startled, and immediately looked towards the gate, only to see one of Mr. Jack's male subordinates in suits and leather shoes closing the door.

"Before I came, how much money did you accumulate by using this method?"

Chen Lun said indifferently.

"Forty...over fifty thousand pounds of gold."

Brendan swallowed and said nervously.

He quickly explained again:

"But I didn't use the money indiscriminately, nor took it for myself. Instead, I invested it in the renovation and construction of the church area, as well as the relationship with the royal family members... These are all contributions to the parliament!"

"You are very good at putting gold on your face."

Chen Lun nodded.

He didn't want to listen to this person's sophistry anymore, so he directly used "Thought Stealing" on him.

【You cast "Mind Stealing" on the target Brendan! 】

【Will determination...】

【The target's will is 39 points, your will is 82 points, the judgment is successful! 】

Brendan showed shock on the spot. As a Sequence Five Transcendent, he clearly felt an unrivaled force that forcibly invaded his mind and peeped into his secret.

"you…?!"

Brendan opened his mouth slightly.

Chen Lun looked at him even colder.

Because the truth is that this guy not only made nearly one hundred thousand gold pounds, but also secretly deposited them into his personal Imperial Bank account. As for the construction of the church area, the headquarters actually allocated 45,000 gold pounds as funds, and Brendan also embezzled most of it, and only used 5,000 gold pounds to renovate the church area.

It's no wonder that the construction period has been delayed for so long and has not been completed. It's all this guy's tricks!

And there is a reason why he is so unscrupulous...

"Catch the tumors and moths in this parliament, and I will **** them to the large conference hall of the headquarters for a collective trial...Let every member of the council see what kind of guy this golden cup councilor is."

Chen Lun said coldly.

Floy behind him stepped forward with a pretty face like frost, raised his hand and summoned a huge black scythe from the ground, followed by a wolf howl, and the companion guardian of [Deep Vow] "Spirit Wolf" also emerged from her side.

"Master Jack!"

Brendan retreated again and again, panicking.

"According to the teachings of the Generosity Bible, I... I did not betray the Council, you can't do that!"

"According to the "Bible of Generosity", the powers of the consuls of the Senate are supreme except for the speaker. I can completely kill you on the spot without reporting..."

Chen Lun looked at him calmly.

"Do you believe I would do this?"

Brendan was really scared, he was sweating.

The black-clothed monks under him did not dare to act rashly, and even those who were afraid in their hearts knelt down and buried their heads.

"I am the Golden Cup Councilor under the Houston Consul! Master Jack! Don't...don't do this, I apologize to you, and you will share 90% of the gold pound in my hand!"

Chen Lun's eyes were indifferent from the beginning to the end, and the other party's words did not affect him in the slightest.

He just waved his hand to signal, and Froy rushed towards him, followed by the giant wolf, baring its teeth.

Brendan didn't want to let it go, and was planning to use his sequence ability to resist.

But at this moment, I heard a light sentence from Jack Consul:

"If you dare to do it, I will kill you right now."

Brendan suddenly felt an extreme chill, like a terrifying beast staring at him with murderous eyes, as if if he dared to act rashly, he would be on the spot in the next second.

Jack's prestige is to be able to sit in a high position in the posture of Sequence Five.

Terrence, Rafa, and the saints of the Rotov family...Which one of the incarnations of these great figures was not beheaded by Jack?

Brendan let out his breath immediately, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground dejectedly, allowing Floyd to restrain him. But he still had hope in his heart, hoping that the Houston Consul would stand up for him...

However, Chen Lun sneered as if he had seen through his thoughts.

"The rest of the people are also imprisoned, Floyd, write a letter for me to send the Faceless Servant to the headquarters, I want to see what Houston has to say!"

"yes."

Floy obediently agreed.

Chen Lun's eyes were deep, and he planned in his heart that today he would make up for this guy's deception, and he should be able to make a name for himself through those believers, so that more people would come here admiringly.

At that time, I will be able to gain a better foothold in this royal city.

His goal is actually very simple, that is, to allow the Council of Generosity to have the same status and reputation as other Orthodox churches, so as to live up to the entrustment of Speaker Azgilro.
