Chapter 94 The Pope's Decree!
Chapter 94 The Pope's Decree!
On a low hill west of Mugu City.
"How many?!!"
A surprised voice came from the phone.
Shen Mo remained expressionless and once again reported the quantity, grade, and condition of the equipment that needed to be sold.
Then, a long silence fell on the other end of the phone.
After a moment, a slightly aged voice said, "Retrieving this equipment is very risky for us!"
"So, are you going to accept it or not?"
"...I will send someone to check its quality."
After telling the other party his location, Shen Mo hung up on Tang Xiaoling's anti-magic X1 and placed it on a pile of equipment, waiting silently.
After seeing a pickup truck and four motorcycles approaching from afar.
Shen Mo then withdrew and quickly hid in the pre-arranged forest, quietly observing the group's movements.
Where is the seller?
"They're probably hiding nearby, not wanting us to see them..."
'
"So much equipment! And it's covered in blood, did they rob some hunting party?"
"This greatsword must be of excellent quality...it's really heavy!"
"There are two more magic bullet guns here!"
"This armor is quite badly damaged."
"Tsk, slicing through an iron frame in one strike, what's this guy's strength?"
"It has been checked, and there are no marks of hunting groups or other forces."
""
"Then we can accept it. I'll call and ask."
""
After making the call, the leader was at a loss again.
"There's no one to handle the payment, how are we supposed to make it?"
Ring ring~
The anti-magic X1 placed on the equipment suddenly went off, startling several smugglers.
The group looked at each other, then one of them stepped forward, answered the call, and put it on speakerphone.
"How much?" came a deliberately vague voice from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked around, but found no one nearby.
The leader pondered for a moment and said, "Two million!"
"not enough!"
"We take on risks by accepting these things!"
"You're not the only one in Twilight Valley City!"
"250 million?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
But they were clearly still not satisfied with the price.
The smuggler looked around again, feeling uneasy at the thought that a menacing man was watching him from the shadows.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "We only brought 300 million this time!"
I'll give you everything, how about it?
If it doesn't work, then forget it!
"make a deal!"
Beep beep beep—
The call was disconnected.
The smugglers breathed a sigh of relief.
One person climbed into the pickup truck, and a moment later got out carrying a briefcase that was half a meter long and wide and twenty or thirty centimeters thick.
I intended to just throw it down.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the box and showed the Alliance Coins inside to everyone.
Only then did he put it down and have someone move the equipment.
As for forgery, or even double-crossing.
A few people have the idea but not the guts.
Not to mention that the seller might be hiding somewhere nearby, ready to make a move at any time.
Moreover, the leader had given them specific instructions when they arrived.
The seller must be either a team or very powerful to be able to offer so much secondhand equipment; there's no need to provoke them.
After all, they are an organized group with bases both inside and outside the city. It's not worth offending such a powerful entity over a few million...
After loading their goods, the smugglers returned directly to Dusk Valley City.
Shen Mo carefully observed the forest but found nothing unusual.
He then destroyed the Anti-Magic X1 in his hand and headed to the transaction location.
After opening the box and conducting a quick inspection, finding no problems, Shen Mo began stuffing the money inside into his backpack.
His backpack was foldable, and he had just thrown away some materials, so it could still hold the money.
However, this deal still resulted in a slight loss.
According to Shen Mo's estimate, the equipment of the Viper Third Battalion is worth at least six or seven million Alliance Coins.
But for safety reasons, he had no other suitable buyers besides these smugglers, so he had no choice but to sell them at a low price.
"But the gains from this trip have already been more than enough!"
After tidying up the money, Shen Mo touched the two magic crystals in his pocket.
One came from Red Flag, and the other from Rock Beast, with a total value of nearly two million Alliance Coins!
Although he encountered many unexpected events these past two days, he also gained a lot!
He changed his clothes, pinned on the Demon Hunter Badge, and took out the Holy Sun Radiance.
Shen Mo, carrying his original equipment, headed towards Mugu City.
He needed to go back to the city first to deal with the money and, while he was at it, inform the Holy Church about the laboratory situation.
After circling around, we returned to the South Gate.
Upon seeing the holy radiance of the sun emanating from Shen Mo, the monks assisting with the examination stepped forward and bowed.
Upon seeing this, the guards surprisingly chose to let them pass.
This made Shen Mo realize the advantages of being a priest once again.
Under normal circumstances, if he were to enter the city, his backpack would inevitably be searched.
At that time, it will be difficult to explain these three million Alliance Coins.
However, because he was a "virtuous" clergyman, he received special treatment.
"Would I, by my own actions, lower the moral standards of the clergy?"
Shen Mo chuckled self-deprecatingly, then, as if remembering something, turned his head to look.
He then saw that the cultivator was also looking at him, and upon seeing him, he actually bowed again.
Why was he so respectful to me?
After thinking for a moment, Shen Mo passed by his home without entering and went directly to the Holy Church.
Along the way, every priest Shen Mo encountered would bow to him.
This made Shen Mo feel a little uncomfortable for a moment, until Mu Li appeared in front of him.
"Welcome to the Emperor's Favor!"
Mu Li, with her right hand on her chest and her body slightly leaning forward, bowed to him.
Noticing the curious and surprised gazes of the surrounding believers, Shen Mo quickly stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
"His Holiness the Bishop has decreed," Mu Li said, blinking her big eyes, "that you should greet him respectfully whenever you see him from now on."
Why?
"The bishop said you represent the will of the Lord, and we cannot be disrespectful!"
???
Shen Mo was completely confused.
"Has Bishop Zhaoguang received a new divine decree?"
"I don't know... If you want to know, I'll take you there to ask?" Mu Li lowered her eyes, looking submissive.
"There's no need to be so polite..." Shen Mo said helplessly.
He didn't like being stared at or bowed to, so he went to find Zhaoguang with Muli.
Upon meeting, Zhao Guang stood up and bowed, but Shen Mo quickly stepped forward to stop him and asked the question that had been bothering him.
"It is not the Lord's decree, but the Pope's decree."
Zhao Guang said with a strange expression, "I just reported your matter to the authorities, and His Holiness the Pope immediately sent an inquiry..."
He said he was busy with teaching duties and felt sorry and regretful for not being able to attend in person.
We were instructed to treat you with respect and to offer assistance when needed...
"7
The Pope?!
Shen Mo never imagined that he would one day alarm the Pope.
This person is truly one of the top figures in the entire alliance!
"I am prepared to assemble a holy order for you to protect... and assist you in purifying the monsters."
They must be extremely honored to be able to experience the holy light up close!
I'm just wondering if you have any requirements for the candidates...
"No need! Absolutely not!" Shen Mo shook his head and refused. "I don't need anyone's protection or assistance..."
""
He has a "Demon Hunter's Handbook" and wants to improve his strength by constantly hunting demons, so he doesn't need anyone else to protect him.
After some discussion, Zhao Guang gave up the idea of forming a holy order for Shen Mo.
He also stated that he would rescind the decree, so that other clergy would not need to bow or greet him when encountering Shenmo.
But in order to deepen the bond between Shenmo and the Holy Church, he didn't want to abandon his previous plan...
