Chapter 719 Greed and Evil
Through me into the city of endless pain,
Through me into the pit of eternal misery,
Through me into the eternal crowd,
To promote my noble Creator!
I am the crystallization of divine right, mind and divine love!
There is no eternal creation before me,
I will live forever with heaven and earth,
Anyone who enters will be cut off from all hope!
arrogant! Beware of arrogance - heavy punishment!
envy! Don't be jealous - slit your eyes and punish it!
anger! Stop it in anger - punish it with black smoke!
Lazy! Avoid laziness - run and punish!
greedy! The abstinence lies in greed - lying down and punishing it!
Gluttony! Avoid food - hunger punishes it!
**! The warning is in the color - the fire punishes it!

The world doesn't revolve around someone!
Even if it is as high as the Lord of Holy Light, there are dark kingdoms that He cannot shine!
William didn't care how much truth there was in Seru's words.
His most outstanding ability may be eloquence, otherwise he would not be able to attract so many people to join his team.
It's a pity that eloquence is of no use to William. Although William himself is a selfish person, he doesn't like others to have the same personality as him.
It was William's target who were the five unusual people persuaded by Seru to join his team.
Even if they die!
The flesh can also contribute to William.
As for Seru, a person who doesn't know how to be grateful, just ignore it.
William teleported directly to the vicinity of the capital of the Kingdom of Lucia.
His appearance is really too obvious, and the people of the Holy Light's Holy See must fight him hard when they see him.
So he used the transfiguration technique, turned around, and the person became a pious small businessman, and then walked into the city.
Hagrid Nirvana is the name of this city.
In the local language, this means the rich city.
And this city also looks like a wealthy city, with tall walls, neat grounds, steeple churches, gorgeous palaces...
If you ignore the continuous slums behind the bustling, the disheveled civilians, and their desperate eyes, then this is indeed a rich and beautiful city.
Seru was right on this point. The king was a greedy guy, and his desire for money had penetrated into his bone marrow.
Just walking this way, William was stopped no less than five times, and each time he said, By the king's order, you need to pay... tax for outsiders!
Every tax is different.
Even breathing is taxing the king.
William has been to so many countries and so many cities, but this country and this city are the most powerful in terms of tax collection.
If it weren't for William's mental power to oppress the soldiers who collected taxes, they might continue to come and collect taxes with William.
As for reasons, they have plenty.
William couldn't help shaking his head, thinking, how did the king keep the city from falling into depression by slaughtering fat sheep so ruthlessly?
Although civilians are like leeks that can't resist, if they are cut too hard, they won't give birth, oh no, they won't come!
Without a mobile population, can the needs of a city be supported by internal circulation alone?
You know, when William governed the country, he didn't dare to do this!
But soon, William knew the trick of the king of the Kingdom of Lucia.
On the exquisite bulletin board, the ceremonial soldiers in shining armor kept proclaiming the king's new rules to the crowd: whoever wins his daughter in riding, he will marry the princess to him, but if he fails , will be beheaded.
If you don't want to be beheaded, then you have to hand over enough money to atone for the king!
William noticed that those outsiders like him were all ready to move, with a feeling of give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Indeed, riding a horse is nothing!
Although you will die if you lose, you can pay for atonement, but if you win, you can win the king's daughter.
I heard that the king of the Kingdom of Lucia has only one daughter. If he marries the daughter of the king, if the king has an accident, oh no, after the king dies, can he become the new king of the Kingdom of Lucia?
After the ceremony soldiers preached the rules, a group of male creatures rushed to sign up.
But registration also requires payment.
The registration fee is one gold Cruze per person.
William felt sincere admiration for the king who hadn't met yet, and he really had a way of making money.
Cruze is the currency of the Kingdom of Lucia, which are Gold Cruze, Silver Cruze, and Copper Cruze.
1 Gold Cruze is equal to 50 Silver Cruze.
1 Silver Cruze is equal to 20 Copper Cruze.
However, after careful observation, William discovered a strange thing. Only outsiders signed up, but no locals signed up.
Are the locals all a bunch of emotionless men in a sage state?
William thought it was impossible!
So he quietly found a local person. In some friendly but unacceptable communication methods, but in the actual process, he would not resist, William knew the reason.
It turned out that the games of kings were held too often.
Last month, I was still racing against the princess.
Last month was a competition with the princess to eat.
Last month last month was with...
Not many people have won the princess!
Those who were lucky enough to win the game disappeared in the end!
They don't know why these outsiders are so keen on these impossible games!
William knew it well, because of greed!
Many people know that online gambling games are manipulated by others, but they still jump in one after another. In the end, a good family is ruined, and a good person is ruined. This is a very common thing.
It is because of greed, and because there is a kind of fluke mentality-what if I win!
………………………………………………………………………………….
William suddenly became interested in the king and the princess and wanted to meet them.
So he asked the mirror, Mirror, mirror, tell me, where is the king and princess of the Kingdom of Lucia?
This is a very simple job.
So the magic mirror quickly replied to William's question.
Master, the king of the Kingdom of Lucia is counting his golden Cruzes in the palace.
As for the King's only daughter, she is praying in... church!
Pray in the church? William was stunned. The king was counting gold coins and William thought it was normal, but his daughter actually prayed in the church? This surprised William.
Is it because, like his father, he has done many bad things, so... he has a bad conscience? William couldn't help guessing.
Unfortunately no one answered.
The magic mirror would not answer either.
After pondering for a while, William made a decision to go see the princess first.
With one step, he arrived at the Church of the Lord of the Holy Light, the largest in Wangdu.
As a god-born blood comparable to a fourth-level wizard, the lowest-level hero in ancient times, as long as he didn't want to, no one in this Church of the Holy Light could find him.
Following the instructions of the magic mirror, William came to a separate prayer room.
This is the prayer room specially set up by the Church of the Lord of the Holy Light for nobles and privileged people.
After all, even a certain pope said that a noble person is closer to the kingdom of the Lord of Light!
It's normal to have some privileges.
The prayer room was empty.
As soon as William approached, he heard a clear and melodious female voice coming out intermittently, The great... Lord of the Holy Light... please enlighten... I pray... my... heart, use Your...hand...touched...me and made me...in all...things...strong....courageous...you are my...salvation.....my....life... .the source of life...spring...
William frowned when he heard it. The prayers sounded very formal, but the voice always sounded so weird.
And here, a panting bass voice also sounded, The Lord of the Holy Light said, I am the... light of the world, follow me... you don't have to... don't walk in the dark, It is necessary to...follow life...life...the light of life...ah...uh...
With the high-pitched panting, everything returned to calm.
William's face darkened.
With a teleportation, he entered the prayer room inside without making a sound.
I saw a man with a fat head and big ears, like a pig, in his 40s or 50s, in a missionary position, talking to a young noble woman with blue eyes and blond hair, uneven, and also without a strand of hair.
Well, we should change the vocabulary - from shallow to deep!
This situation is so eye-catching, it's Beauty and the Beast.
William almost vomited. This actor really ruthlessly mocked and trampled on society. William turned around and left the prayer room.
This fiery woman is undoubtedly a princess.
And that missionary, judging by the concentration of holy light on his body, should be the local bishop.
Today William, a little bishop is completely ignored by him, he is just a little guy who can be solved with a wave of his hand, and the bishop of the local Church of the Holy Light, who is seriously preaching, has not found William came!
It turns out that the local Bishop of the Holy Light and the royal family of the Kingdom of Lucia are so good that they wear a pair of pants! William thought.
But it has nothing to do with him!
William didn't forget that his purpose was to find the bodies of the five strange people killed by the Holy Light's Holy See!
He let the magic mirror detect the whole church!
As a result, the magic mirror told him that the body was not in the church!
This is strange!
William then injected magic power into the magic mirror, making it center on the king's capital and search with all his strength to see where the five corpses went?
Was it transported away by the people of the Holy See? William thought so, this is not impossible!
But not long after, the magic mirror's answer took William by surprise again.
The five corpses were actually in the palace, hidden in the secret room of the king's treasury.
This secret room is so secret that even the magic mirror has not discovered it.
Instead, when the magic mirror was detecting the entire capital, it accidentally found that the king was missing, and then detected the entire palace and the royal city but did not see the king.
The magic mirror already has a certain ability to judge and knows that something is wrong.
It waited patiently and paid close attention, and not long after, the magic mirror discovered that the king had suddenly walked out of a certain oil painting on the wall in the king's vault in Cruz's vault.
magic! Maybe it's an enchantment!
Taking advantage of the passage where the king came out, the magic mirror took advantage of the opportunity to extend the consciousness in, and it succeeded unexpectedly. Inside was an empty and claustrophobic secret room.
Five dead bodies with different methods of death were placed flat on the ground.
The body of the man killed by the Holy See Inquisition is placed in the secret chamber of a greedy king? Interest suddenly came to William's heart - the king seemed not as simple as he imagined.
Suddenly, William was not in such a hurry to take away the five corpses!
The king's secret attracts William's interest!
So William found a hotel in the capital and lived there.
What the hell! The price of the hotel was more than three times that of the most expensive hotel William had ever stayed in.
William glared at the innkeeper, who spread his hands and said, I have to pay the king's tax!
William sighed, feeling like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered in a tourist area.
He silently paid enough gold Cruze, and then went to his room.
For more than ten days in a row, William used a magic mirror to monitor the greedy king and the princess who liked to be given by the flesh.
Yes, William found, every time she won a game, the princess would be filled with guilt and come to pray for the bishop who was older than her father and three times his weight.
Although the bishop was in poor health, he still worked tirelessly, with the spirit of self-sacrifice, to personally go to battle to find the direction of the Lord for this confused lamb!
It's just that this number of times seems to be a bit frequent, and the bishop is also in pain and happiness, but he is not willing to pretend to be at the hands of others.
As for this princess, she seemed to have recognized the bishop, and she had never seen her find other male companions. Instead, she treated other men with a cold, uninvited look.
Only in front of the bishop, Her Royal Highness the princess will let go of all her reserve, be honest, and even kiss the bishop's big feet, just to get his salvation!
And the king's side.
What the king likes to do most every day is to ask the contestants whether they choose to keep their heads or their wealth after the princess wins the game.
Ordinary people choose to keep their wealth. Anyway, William has not seen anyone who chooses to keep his head during this period of time.
Those who choose to keep their wealth, the king will give them a price that will ruin their fortunes, and squeeze the wealth of these losers to the limit.
After the wealth was taken away by the king, the people were also left by the king and escorted to the gold mine and silver mine under the king's flag for mining work.
After taking away the wealth of these contestants, the king will take them and enter his secret vault, happily counting every gold coin in the vault.
As for the mysterious secret room in the treasury, the king never entered it again.
And this peaceful scene was quietly broken when Seru was caught!
