Lorenzo hid in the trading company for less than a day. In the afternoon of the next day, the spy sent by Ma Qin brought back information.
Ma Qin came to the room where Lorenzo and his party were resting with a dark face.
Lin Lichuan asked: "Old Ma, what happened?"
"There are two pieces of bad news." He came into the room and sat down in front of Lorenzo and Lin Lichuan. "The first piece of bad news is that the previous intelligence was wrong. There are not two enemy saints, but three. In addition to Polidaro and Miliana mentioned earlier, there is another saint who has been active in the outlying villages and towns a few days ago. His name is Agurto. This Agurto is a complete lunatic. He has been doing lawless things in the surrounding towns. My intelligence officer was almost beaten to death by him while collecting intelligence."
"Lawless?" Lin Lichuan didn't quite understand what the other party meant.
Ma Qin said with disgust: "To sum it up, he exploits the people, commits crimes, and bullies men and women. Anyway, you can't go wrong if you use relevant words to describe him."
"Are you saying that this saint is a bully?" Lin Lichuan was a little surprised. In his opinion, even if they had different positions, the saint must be someone who had reached a certain level. The things that Ma Qin said did not seem to be done by a master.
"These guys are selfish lunatics!" Ganuo, who had been silent, interrupted and said, "Logically, they should have a cooperative relationship with our Temple of Nature, but look at what they did after they came to this world? For their own rebirth, they killed most of the Divine Advent Faction who supported the coming of the God of Nature. In order to seize control and resources, they went to war with our Present World Faction without any explanation."
Lorenzo smiled and said, "Saints are human after all, and humans have human weaknesses. Although I don't know what the city of God looks like, even if it is a place of God's kingdom with honey and milk flowing in the river, what will happen if you stay there for thousands of years and can't get out? Seeing the same old faces every day and not being able to use your power to bully others, how frustrating it would be. Some people may still be able to maintain some rationality, but there are definitely some people who can no longer control their desires. Maybe this Agurto is like this.
I think this is a good thing. Would you rather deal with someone who can't control his desires and indulges in worldly pleasures all day long? Or would you rather deal with someone who is strict with himself, practices all day long, and is always ready to start a war? "
"That's true." Kalanda said, "At least among the nobles, those who are most content with pleasure are definitely the weakest in combat."
Seeing that she was speaking from her heart, Lorenzo asked, "I heard that this time when you followed Liu Yisheng to cross the empire to the north to find the Star Tower, you also went back home to teach those brothers who forced you out of the house a lesson?"
Kalanda said, "That's not my home. My home is where Lao Chen is. But you're right. This trip made me see more clearly the fragility of those people. They were so talented, but that kind of hedonistic life really ruined them."
Lorenzo said, "That's right. This Agulto can be our breakthrough. I wonder what the relationship between him and the other two saints is like?"
Ma Qin said: "Among the three, the one with the highest status is the female saint Miliana. However, she seems to have been injured before, so she can't control the other two. The wizard named Polydaro is a little more cooperative, but Agurto has always insisted on his own way and refused to enter the city. Miliana sent people to invite him to the city twice, but he not only refused to listen, but also drove the two messengers out of the town."
Lorenzo smiled a little at this time. He said, "Isn't this good? I'm afraid there will be no conflict between them. So what is Polidaro doing?"
Ma Qin said: "Milliana gave him the task of forcing the nobles in the city to contribute food and funds. These days, he has been asking for money, people, food, and cultivation resources from every household. However, Milliana doesn't seem to be satisfied with his work, because Polidaro put a lot of cultivation resources and magic materials that should have been handed over into his own pocket. He clearly knew that Milliana had planted people around him to supervise his work, but he still blatantly stuffed things into his own pocket."
"Is he trying to steal cultivation resources for himself?" Lin Lichuan asked.
Ganuo said: "These saints came out of the God City with nothing. Originally, all their training resources and weapons and equipment should have been provided by the Temple of Nature. But in this situation, it is not so easy for them to get the resources and equipment reserved by the present world sect. After all, there are many secret libraries that are the secrets of our present world sect, and they are not so easy to find. In this way, the resources they have on hand must be very tight. The God City is a place where strength speaks. Whoever recovers to his original strength first will definitely achieve a higher status. It is not difficult to understand why Polidaro would do this if he is not afraid of Miriana."
"It seems that although these three people were assigned to the same temple, there were quite a lot of conflicts within it." Lorenzo pondered for a while and said, "In other words, the three of them basically acted alone, right?"
"Yes."
"Then we should make good plans for them." Lorenzo's eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
Ma Qin continued, "Another bad news is that our insider, the leader of the Shadow Group, Valerino... is dead."
"How did he die?" asked Lorenzo.
"He choked to death while eating." Ma Qin said.
"What?!" several people shouted in unison.
Most of the regional leaders of the Shadow Group, like Valerino, are at the master level. Such people would not die even if they swallowed steel slag, so how could they choke to death on food
Ma Qin said: "It is said that it was done by Millianna herself. These days, she was checking the accounts inside the temple. Naturally, Valerino's accounts were not clean, and she found many gaps. In order to prevent the other party from checking, he secretly made many obstacles, including creating an accident, causing an assistant that Millianna brought to check the accounts to accidentally die. Originally, he wanted to drag this matter on until Millianna lost her patience. But she didn't expect that this woman was much more swift and decisive than she seemed. She found out that Valerino might have done it, and although she couldn't find evidence of the assassination plan, she still killed him. She did not initiate any trial, but chose the same method as the other party, creating an accident to kill him. This is obviously killing the chicken to scare the monkey."
Lorenzo said, "It was a very clean move. I didn't try to hide anything and told everyone clearly that I was the one who killed this disobedient guy."
