Chapter 627 The Archbishop's Reminder
In the end, Hugh still helped Fors.
She found an informant in the East District and, in her own name, delivered the whistleblower letter to a clergyman at the nearby Night Church. As an intelligence hunter and underground law enforcer with a certain reputation in the East District, Hugh's letter should be taken seriously by the authorities.
Meanwhile, Fors also relayed this information to Luzer.
The Church of the Goddess reacted faster than Luze had anticipated; thirty minutes later, the letter was already on his desk.
"This is a report from a devotee of the goddess."
Leonard, on the other end, explained, "She discovered Mr. X of the Aurora Society."
Is the news reliable?
Although he knew the intelligence was correct, Lu Ze still pretended to confirm it.
“According to the local church priest, that believer is a trustworthy person,” Leonard replied, then couldn’t help but ask, “Your Excellency, what do you think?”
He was asking Lu Ze whether it was necessary to launch an investigation based on the whistleblower reports in order to kill these cult lunatics.
Leonard still harbored this hatred. The woman M who killed the captain and directly caused the Tingen incident was from the Aurora Society, not to mention that they were the Church of the True God, while the other side was a crazy evil god organization, so they were naturally antagonistic.
If he could, he really wanted to wipe out all these damn cultists!
Lu Ze took out the letter and read it briefly.
With a hint of expectation in Leonard's eyes, he looked up and asked, "How many Red Gloves are there in Backlund right now?"
"There are three teams in total, nearly twenty people. Our team, Ms. Daly's team, and the team led by Captain Hel, who just returned from an overseas mission... Your Excellency."
Leonard understood what he meant, and a flash of excitement crossed his eyes.
Tell everyone to stand by.
"I'm going to talk to the archbishop," Lu Ze said, standing up from behind the table, clutching the letter.
"What are you planning to do?"
Archbishop Anthony put down the letter, looked up at Luze, and asked calmly.
"Clear them out."
Lu Ze replied briefly and coldly.
"Yes, I grant permission, but there's one condition: do it cleanly and eliminate most of the Aurora Society's forces in one battle if possible." Anthony nodded. "You know, cults multiply at an alarming rate."
Even if all members of the Aurora Society are eliminated this time, the evil god belief will still spread if the status quo in the East District is not changed.
Lu Ze thought to himself.
He didn't respond that way, but instead agreed to Anthony's request.
"In that case, we'll need to do more preparation beforehand," Lu Ze analyzed. "I'll need to assign people to conduct investigations in the surrounding area and develop a more detailed plan..."
"You can coordinate the resources you need yourself. In addition, you can use your authority to extract some suitable sealed artifacts for combat," Anthony said calmly, smiling slightly at him. "Of course, level 0 sealed artifacts won't work."
Even if you asked me to use it, I wouldn't dare...
Lu Ze thought to himself.
"Hehe, then I'll..."
He twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled in agreement, intending to say goodbye to Anthony and go arrange for people to make preparations, but found that the latter was looking at him with a smile.
"Ishmael, how long have you been in Backlund parish?"
"The archbishop asked."
It's been almost ten days.
Lu Ze replied, somewhat wary, unsure why the other party had asked such a question.
"You've only been here ten days, and you've already led a team to kill an out-of-control demigod, secured an £8000 donation for the church, and now you're about to set out to clean up the Aurora Society's influence... It's fair to say you've worked incredibly hard and achieved a great deal."
Anthony said, then changed the subject, "But you are, after all, a high-ranking member of the organization, and to some extent represent the church. You can't act so coldly."
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow slightly.
He didn't speak, but looked at Anthony and continued, "Just like what you did to the vampires, it did have a very good effect in the short term, but in the long run, it will accumulate their dissatisfaction with the church."
"Backlund has more than just our church; we're competing with the Storm and Steam churches for followers. Often, those in leadership positions need to consider things from a higher perspective..."
He gently persuaded her.
"Your Excellency, please be more explicit," Luze said directly. "The Rune style of expression is too subtle, and I'm worried I haven't understood your meaning."
Anthony smiled upon hearing this.
"What I mean is, as a high-ranking member of the church, you can't just think about eradicating cult members; you also need to consider the church as a whole."
He put it more bluntly, "For example, participating in various religious activities to spread the gospel of the goddess, maintaining good relationships with the upper echelons of Backlund, thereby expanding the church's influence..."
Oh, I see.
Lu Ze suddenly realized.
Anthony was actually right. If Luzer was indeed a high-ranking member of the church and had considered further advancement within the church, he should indeed pay attention to this issue... However, his real goal was to quickly accumulate merit and thus advance to Sequence 3 as soon as possible.
The only person he is responsible for is the Goddess of Night.
"...Perfect timing, there's a dance party next Saturday."
The archbishop said, "If you're interested, I'll contact Earl Hall, the organizer of the ball, and have him send you an invitation as well. You can make some friends at the ball and gradually expand your network..."
Earl Hall... Miss Justice's father... Luze instinctively wanted to refuse, but because of this name, two things suddenly came to mind:
[Justice] As mentioned before, there has been a recent trend of targeting Fussac within the aristocratic circles;
Sir West was also a frequent participant in social activities during his lifetime.
Perhaps he could find some clues here... Thinking this, he nodded to Anthony, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency the Archbishop."
"This is nothing."
99
Anthony chuckled, "Keep up the good work and social life!"
After that, Lu Ze finally got the chance to say goodbye and leave the other party's office.
Backlund, West End, in a public cemetery belonging to the Church of Storms.
These public cemeteries do not use traditional burial methods; instead, they store ashes in small cabinets. The advantage of this is that it can accommodate a large number of deceased individuals, and the price is quite affordable, allowing even the poor to have a final resting place.
The walls were lined with cabinets from top to bottom, and among them stood a middle-aged man in his forties. His features were quite pleasing to the eye, with black hair streaked with silver, and deep, serene blue eyes, giving him a mature and refined appearance.
He was placing a set of ashes into the cabinet.
The man, Klein—no, now Dawn Dantes—closed the cabinet door and inscribed the name and epitaph of the deceased. This was his teammate who had died on that book adventure, a Loen, finally returning home after a century.
After doing all this, he picked up the box, turned around, and walked into the fog, which was no longer so thick.
