Mozo shook his head and said:
"I'm not interested in that."
Marquis Bill raised his eyebrows slightly and said:
"You really surprise me. You don't like fine wine or beautiful women. You are like the living saints in the legend!"
Mozo's behavior made Marquis Bill instinctively feel a little wary and alert.
At this moment, Marquis Bill had the same idea as Nightmare Sketti—this person didn't seem to be of the same kind.
However, Mozo smiled and said:
"I heard that our family once controlled three ancient waterways. I wonder how many you can get back for me?"
Marquis Bill also relaxed instantly. Does he prefer power and money
They are the same, but they just have different hobbies.
"Please rest assured, it is unrealistic to get all of them back for you. I sincerely regard you as a friend, so I will never fool you with such nonsense. But I can guarantee that I can help you get the best one back!"
After casually calming down the slight vigilance in Marquis Bill's heart, Mozo chatted and laughed with him as he went to the welcome ball prepared for him.
I have to say that Marquis Bill is really a capable person. Mozzo just told the other party that he didn't like those tones, and he didn't see him leave on the way or directly inform his subordinates.
But even after Mozzo arrived at the ball, no lady came to disturb Mozzo's fun.
Those who came to chat with Mozo were the backbone of Marquis Bill's faction.
And everyone who came over was very conscious and did not toast or urge Mozo, who could not drink, to drink.
Mozo had to thank Marquis Bill for his ability to deal with things. Because it was thanks to his concern that Mozo not only avoided many unnecessary interactions, but also chatted with the backbones of his faction.
A lot of useful information was obtained directly or indirectly.
The most important of these is naturally the specific garrison situation during the victory festival.
Then there is some information about that year.
These things were fragmentary, but there were a few that caught Mozo's attention.
For example, after the assassination of King Baggins, the first person to be nominated to inherit the throne was not Baggins's sister Carroll, but Carroll and Baggins' uncle. And it is said that he was extremely popular among the nobles at that time!
But he quickly expressed that he was not qualified for such an important task, so the throne naturally fell on Carol. This is rarely recorded in history books. If Mozo had not mixed into the upper aristocratic circle here, it would probably take him a while to find out.
Mozo also had an impression of this man. Apart from the fact that he was Baggins' uncle, his abilities and connections were mediocre. And most importantly, this man had always been a marginal figure in Hazel's political circle.
But such a person who is inferior to Carroll in terms of blood relationship, political ability and network of relationships was not only the first to be pushed forward, but also the most supported
What is even more dramatic is that such a highly popular and truly qualified person quickly gave up the throne that seemed to be within his grasp.
This gave Mozo the feeling that he was pushed out just to take the blame, but then he found out that he was not needed to take the blame and removed him casually.
If it was really Carroll who planned or participated in the assassination, it is entirely possible that Carroll made such an arrangement to attract other people's attention and make it easier for him to take the blame.
Mozzo even heard from a noble that the nobles at that time once suspected that Baggins' uncle murdered his nephew in order to gain power.
Based on Mozo's understanding of this person, he may have this ambition, but he probably doesn't have the ability.
Therefore, this so-called suspicion was most likely fabricated by Carol in order to use his uncle as a scapegoat.
But what was the reason that made Carol quickly give up the plan of using his uncle to take the blame
If Carol really committed parricide, then Mozo didn't think she would have a change of heart and replace her uncle.
The only possible reason for this was some other unknown factor that led Carol to conclude that she could take the position without any pressure.
According to Mozo's own reasoning, this should be because Carol found that her plan was completed quite smoothly after using the orcs to assassinate successfully, so that she did not need to use her uncle as a backup option at all.
There was just one thing that Mozo didn't understand. How on earth had Carol made the goddess of victory point the finger at the orcs or someone other than Carol without any suspicion after her quasi-king was assassinated.
This was not just the assassination of some cat or dog, this was not only the killing of an angel, but also an emperor of great importance and a quasi-king who was a righteous god!
Even if the orcs cooperated with Carol desperately for revenge, Goddess Kolea and King Munger were all dead, it was a great fortune for a group of dynasty remnants to succeed.
Under such circumstances, how could Carroll, the biggest beneficiary of the post-war period, be hidden so well
This really made Mozo feel incredible.
At least Mozo believed that without using the Pure White Scale, unless he had a suitable level 0 seal or some Outer God to help directly, it would be hard for him to imagine that anyone could successfully assassinate the king and get away with it.
As for whether Carol possesses a Level 0 Seal or has received help from a third-party god.
Mozo also didn't think it existed. Because the real ruler of Hazel at that time was not a princess like Carol. It is true that Carol was very influential at that time because of Baggins' love and her own abilities.
But Mozo didn't think she had a way to bypass him, the logistics manager, to get a level zero seal that was rare and suitable in the world.
As for the third party external gods, Mozo also thought it was impossible, not only because he thought it would be difficult for Carol to bypass him as the logistics manager to contact the external gods, but also because Mozo did not find that any god had gained enough benefits in this incident.
The Bitter and Cold Land is a poor place and there is no need to get involved. The land of the Mung Dynasty is very good, but once King Mung and Goddess Leia die, the Victory Church alone will not be able to eat up all the land.
Who the hell would be stupid enough to help assassinate the king when all the gods at that time just needed to sit back and reap the benefits
As for whether it was possible that this external god did not know that he was helping to assassinate the king, that was even more impossible, because if Carol did not know that his real opponent was the goddess Victory, how could he hide even with the help of the external god
Because the person she assassinated was not something else, but the king!
It is not difficult to deceive a god! But it is difficult to deceive the king of assassination! It is almost terrifying!
The greatest curse bestowed by the original is not an easy thing to deal with, no matter whether the king himself recognizes his identity or not, as long as the gods recognize that the other party is their king.
Then the curse will bring great mystical cause and effect between the two parties.
Even Mozo finds this thing weird.
If Carol simply wanted to deceive a goddess and conduct subsequent supernatural investigations, it would not be too difficult given her identity and abilities at the time.
But not only can she interfere with the Pure White Libra, the most important thing is that she has been staying safely under the goddess's nose since she assassinated the Queen until today!
That's why Mozzo could never conclude that Carol really assassinated his own brother.
First, there was no direct evidence, and second, Mozo couldn't think of how she would have gotten herself out of it if it was her.
331 Many Doubts (3k)
Moreover, the performance of Goddess Victory also made Mozo feel confused.
Mozo could understand why the goddess entered a fallen state after the assassination of the quasi-king, as there were many precedents of similar existences throughout history.
But what Mozo didn't quite understand was that the goddess seemed to be intentionally indulging her believers and nobles in suppressing the orcs.
If this was revenge, Mozo could understand it, but it was very strange. He was clearly indulging his followers and nobles to hunt orcs at will. But the orcs had not been completely exterminated so far.
It cannot be denied that the orcs today are not as strong as before, but it cannot be denied that they still have a lot of strength left.
Although this remaining force cannot be compared with that of the Victory Church, it is still not a small force.
At least Mozo doesn't think that apart from the major churches and dynasties, there would be any force that can ignore the orcs today.
Anyway, if Mozo had to fight against the orcs of today during Cromwell's time, he would have had a headache.
The orcs were divided into countless large and small tribes, each of which was insignificant if taken individually. However, it was precisely because of this that even a powerful empire could not launch an effective counterattack.
This can hardly be called revenge against the assassin, nor can it be called kindness and forgiveness towards a civilization.
It seems right, but also seems contradictory.
This made Mozo very confused, and the current situation in the bitter cold land also made Mozo feel that something was not right.
Since the goddess of victory recognized Baggins as her king, she chose not to announce it in order to protect his safety so that he would not become the target of public criticism like King Mung.
Mozo understood and agreed that hiding the king who had not been exposed during non-peaceful times was undoubtedly an extremely correct choice.
But what Mozzo didn't quite understand was why Victory didn't justify Baggins after his death
The war has been won, and the Victory Church has no enemies left.
The king is dead, but why not clear his name
Another thing is that the current situation in the bitter and cold land is undoubtedly a major setback. The nobles may live much better than before, but this is based on sacrificing the happiness of the common people and the national infrastructure.
It can be said that all the hard work of him and other pioneers such as Baggins was wasted without a single bit left.
According to Mozo's understanding of the relationship between the gods and kings, this doesn't make sense. Just like in the Sea City, Haiweisi didn't care about it, and the cardinals at the top of power only dared to steal and cheat in fear.
If I accidentally see the statue of the goddess, I have to take a few heart-protecting pills to calm down.
In that situation, Mozo had no doubt that if there were any believers brave enough to take the statues of Storm King or Hevis to confront the cardinals, the first ones who would fail would definitely not be the mortal believers.
According to Mozo's understanding and the historical facts of this world, when the king dies, the living gods will either go berserk immediately or gradually become insane, or become completely autistic or slowly become autistic. The lucky ones who still have the object of revenge can continue to fight as they are.
Then the winning situation does not match any of the above.
On the one hand, she immediately entered a state of decadence after the king's death, and on the other hand, she continued to respond to and indulge her followers and nobles to trample on everything.
This shows that Shengli is not like Hevis who has become autistic, nor like the dwarf goddess who has become self-destructive. As for the object of revenge, it does not exist. If you insist on saying it is the orcs, it is not impossible, but the current situation of the orcs does not live up to this title.
If we really want to say that all orcs are the targets of revenge, then the goddess should be chasing the orc tribe and slaughtering them every day.
But the result is that the goddess fell, and the orcs suffered but were able to survive.
Moreover, the nobles and clergy were destroying everything left of her king in her name.
This Sea-Release City is basically as outrageous as the cardinals shouting Hevis' name and smashing the Storm King's holy elephant.
It is normal to leave it alone completely, but to almost destroy it by oneself may be the only memory left by the king.
Mozo is really hard to see through.
All I can say is that the more I think about it, the more conflicted I become.
This was a point that troubled Mozo the more he delved into it.
Everything in this bitter cold land seems extremely strange and contradictory beneath the seemingly normal surface of the water.
If victory is a special case among many gods, it is theoretically possible.
But this is different from the goddess of victory that Mozo knew. A person's personality change is always a process. Every seemingly sudden change of temperament basically has countless foreshadowings.
But could there be any possible foreshadowing of victory
At least Mozo couldn't have imagined it. After all, victory had always been a triumphant march forward, always victorious, always smooth.
Except for the last assassin...
In short, the comparison between the before and after of the Goddess of Victory is no longer like a single person.
Mozo, who could not see through the layers of fog, could only shake his head and temporarily give up the idea of thinking about it further.
If you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it.
At least he knew what he should do. Regardless of whether Carol committed parricide or not, her current actions made it imperative for Mozo to overthrow her.
No matter what happened to the goddess Shengli, the bitter cold of today also forced Mozo to go and settle the matter with the goddess face to face.
Just say that after the welcome ball, he went to the room prepared for him by Marquis Bill.
Mozo couldn't help but look at the night sky outside the window.
Then he said silently in his heart:
"I hope everything can have a happy ending. Although the hope is slim, I still sincerely hope that I am just confused by appearances and there is something else going on. This is for you, my former little sister Carol, and also for you, the goddess who I once respected so much."
After saying this silently in his heart, Mozo took out the pure white scale and placed it on the table.
Mozo then knelt on one knee facing the pure white scale and prayed silently.
Seeing this scene, Chun Bai Ping, who had just come out, instinctively wanted to exclaim to his partner, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
But the pure white Libra immediately shut his mouth.
Because the Pure White Libra discovered that Mozo was not praying to it, but to the One who created this divine creature and the Father of All—the Origin!
When Mozo finished praying and stood up, Pure White Libra said with emotion:
"Today, I'm afraid you are the only one in this world who can be considered a devout believer of our Lord."
Mozo said with mixed feelings:
"I don't know if I can be considered a believer in the original. After all, many of my demands seem to be something that only the original can accomplish."
“... ..”
"Partner, don't say things like that in front of me anymore."
"Next time for sure!"
