"This is too outrageous. Although the church is not a good thing, it is an organization that has existed for thousands of years and has made great contributions to the establishment of the empire. At this point, we can't just find a random reason to make it disappear."
"So, all we need to do is find a reason. I think the church has been making too much noise recently. It even dared to confront the Duke of the Southern Territory. If it really can't help but take action, the Empire can find a reason to destroy the church and make theocracy disappear completely."
"The empire's divine authority is inferior to the monarchy. The church has only a little influence among the people at best. Over the past few hundred years, the church has completely exhausted its influence. Now it is nothing more than an aging tumor. It won't be painful to cut it off."
"But in the end, it's still up to His Majesty the King to make up his mind. I really don't know what His Majesty the King thinks about the church."
"… "
As people chatted, their conversation deviated from its original track and started talking about the real church.
Due to the organizational corruption of this world church, the people have long been extremely disgusted with this organization, but in the final analysis, ordinary people can't do anything about it and can only complain.
Above the common people, high-ranking officials of the empire, such as the Duke of the South, also have a great dislike for the church.
Even the dukes of the four realms showed vague aversion to the church.
However, King Hubbard's attitude towards the church has never been revealed.
How the empire's church should be dealt with, His Majesty the King's attitude will determine the final outcome, but now no one knows what the attitude of the true ruler of the empire towards the church is.
In the eyes of the people, perhaps the king has his own unique considerations for the church.
Chapter 491 (18) The audience’s anger!
Chapter 491
Seeing the scene where Lawrence decided to smuggle gold, people couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After all, this action is too shocking. If it fails accidentally, the final result will inevitably be disastrous.
Therefore, people just hope that the movie can have a good ending in the end.
…
In the Orc Kingdom, the orcs' attitude towards this plot is more subtle.
After all, the Orc Kingdom doesn't even have a proper currency, and social relations are still in a very primitive state, so naturally they don't know the value of gold.
Of course, just by watching the movie, they can feel that in human society, gold seems to be a very important thing and something that many people desire to possess.
Although the story of "Spice and Wolf" is somewhat different from the human empire in the real world, this movie is still an important window for the orcs to understand the human empire.
For this reason, many people watched it attentively.
…
The movie "Spice and Wolf" continues to play.
After a whole day of rest, the next morning, Lawrence met with Holo, Nora, and Ribet, a helper sent by the Chamber of Commerce manager Lemario.
The group set out to smuggle gold!
As time gradually came to night and the sky darkened, Lawrence asked to stop and rest, but Libet seemed very anxious as he was burdened with the responsibility of saving the entire firm.
After a discussion, the impatient Ribet finally realized the danger of walking at night and agreed with Lawrence.
After a night, the group set out again.
Soon, they came to the front of a forest.
It was a green forest that was almost black. If you slowly turn your eyes to the west, you can see rocks all over the ground and steep hills.
Although Lawrence and his companions could feel the oppression of the forest, they finally stepped into the forest.
After another full day of trekking, they began to rest on the spot.
However, before they could rest for long, a crisis in the forest suddenly struck.
Holo and Nora suddenly got up from the ground as if conditioned reflex, they felt surrounded by wolves.
However, the wolves did not seem to have any intention of attacking. They wandered around for a while and then left.
The next day, several people officially arrived at the city to buy gold. Libet went into the city to buy gold, while Lawrence and others waited outside.
After a long wait, Libet's figure appeared again from a distance, and he had successfully obtained the gold needed for smuggling.
The group officially set out on their journey home.
However, compared to the situation on the way here, the forest on the way back had an unparalleled sense of crisis.
Even ordinary people like Lawrence and Libet could clearly feel the feeling of being surrounded by wolves.
In this situation, Nolla took the initiative to take on the responsibility and, together with her sheepdog, drove away the wolves around her.
But a wolf still seized the opportunity and pounced on him.
At the critical moment, Holo suddenly growled:
“Back off!”
The next moment, the wolf that had pounced on him shrank back as if it had become wilted.
"If it were a human, at this time, they would probably say something like 'Young people these days...'"
"What?"
Lawrence couldn't understand Holo's words for a moment.
But the next moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, making people feel as if the deepest part of their bodies was frozen.
The horses stopped, the sheep stopped, even the brave shepherd dogs stopped moving, and the fierce roars nailed people to the ground like wooden stakes.
In this situation, only Holo said calmly:
"Ru, we have to take care of this. Let the little girl and the boy go first, and then you should step aside."
"What's the meaning?"
"Because the wolves in the forest are not ordinary wolves, you can feel it too, right? As long as we take over, the wolves will no longer attack the sheep. The wolves' target is not the sheep. Cheap self-esteem and crude arrogance are things that all young people value very much."
After hearing Holo's words, Lawrence suddenly realized that there was a being just like Holo at the other end of the forest.
So after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and let Holo stay at the scene.
After separating from Holo, Lawrence did not chase after Libert and Nora, but waited patiently for Holo to return.
But what was unexpected was that a three-person team suddenly came from a distance.
After some communication, Lawrence realized that the other party was from the Chamber of Commerce and he felt relieved.
But what he didn't expect was that the three men actually controlled him in the first moment and put the dagger on his neck.
It turned out that the Chamber of Commerce manager was worried about the news leaking out, so he deliberately sent someone to silence Lawrence.
After tying up Lawrence, they threw him into the forest, apparently leaving him to fend for himself in the mouths of the wolves. Lawrence also heard that they were planning to kill Nora afterwards.
For a moment, despair and anger burned in Lawrence's chest, making him show an unwilling expression.
…
After seeing the content of the movie, the audience went crazy.
After all, Lawrence and his companions risked their lives to smuggle gold coins, but the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Binhaigen not only did not help them, but also secretly sent people to kill them.
No one who saw this could accept it, and the audience all burst into swearing at once.
"This guy is such a jerk, isn't he? How dare he do such a thing?"
"Yeah, Lawrence and the others risked their lives, but you guys are going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
"They are not even human! They are worse than animals!"
"Alas, this is the reality. Never trust others blindly. Betrayal will always come suddenly when you least expect it."
"I remember when I was doing business in the past, the guy who originally opened a shop with me ran away with the money when the business was booming, leaving me with a huge debt. Now when I think about it, I want to stab him to death!"
"Is Lawrence okay?"
"Holo is right next to us. As long as we can reunite with Holo, we should be fine."
"… "
For a moment, the audience showed nervous expressions.
After all, the endings of Du Lin's films so far have been mixed, and they are very worried that this time the film will have another bad ending.
Of course, due to the last broadcast of "No Game No Life Zero", those viewers who had originally clamored to die together with Du Lin are now silent.
Because they were just talking big in the first place, and after a bad ending really happened, they still did not take any action, which can be said to be quite embarrassing.
So this time, they naturally didn't have the nerve to say similar things again.
Chapter 492: Spice and Wolf Ends! (I)
Chapter 492
Orc Kingdom.
After seeing the plot in the movie, all the orcs showed expressions of gritting their teeth.
After all, betrayal is always the most difficult thing for people to accept, and the orcs, who are mostly straightforward in character, cannot accept such blatant betrayal.
Many orcs even roared in anger, wishing they could pounce on the black-hearted businessman in the movie and bite off his neck.
It can be seen that by this point in the movie, most of the orcs have already been immersed in the story, and their emotions are up and down because of the movie.
…
And the story of Spice and Wolf soon continues.
After the people from the Chamber of Commerce left, Lawrence dragged his exhausted body to his feet, burned the rope in his hand with charcoal, and rushed into the forest to look for Holo.
On the other hand, in order to meet Lawrence again as soon as possible, Holo even traded her dignity for a chance to escape quickly.
Therefore, when she saw Lawrence's miserable appearance, she naturally showed an expression of incomparable anger.
So, she immediately transformed into a wolf and chased after the people from the Chamber of Commerce with Lawrence.
Rushing at lightning speed, Lawrence soon found himself seeing the lights of the town on fire.
The Chamber of Commerce team seemed to have already joined up with Nola and the others.
Seeing the giant wolf appear, everyone showed expressions of fear, but in order to protect the gold in the flock, they still tried to resist desperately.
The result was no doubt that they were completely powerless to resist Holo and were soon beaten to pieces.
Although Libet, who had the gold, tried to escape, he was eventually caught by Holo with ease.
"That wolf is Holo, my friend Holo."
Hearing Lawrence's words, Nora showed a surprised expression.
Soon, Holo came over with Libet in her mouth.
Lawrence immediately took the gold from the other person's waist, and Holo interrogated the other person.
Libet cried out in despair:
"No, it wasn't me. It was Lemario who gave the order."
"As you can see, this wolf is not an ordinary wolf. You can think of it as the agent of the Almighty God. In other words, lying is useless."
"I... I think the payment is too much, and Lemario thinks so too. Moreover, if we continue like this, all the money we earn will be used to pay off the debts, and we won't be able to pay the payment at all. Lemario asked me to find a way to solve it, and I have to find a way. I have no choice. You should understand, right? You and I are both businessmen-"
"Don't compare me to you."
Before Libet could finish his words, Lawrence angrily punched him to the ground.
"That's what happened. I also heard their plan to kill you. Lemario Company betrayed us."
After Lawrence explained everything to Nora, he began to think about what to do next.
In fact, the gold coins that Lemario brought were not as much as planned, and he could not pay the reward at all.
This is also the reason why he chose to betray Lawrence.
Therefore, Lawrence let Nola decide for herself whether to bring the gold back to Liubinhaigen as originally planned and sell it at a high price, or simply take the gold to other cities to sell it.
This will concern the fate of them and the entire Chamber of Commerce in Liubinhaigen.
And Nola also made her own choice and returned to Liubinhaigen.
After finishing all this, Lawrence and Holo returned to the Chamber of Commerce in Ryubinhaigen at night and directly tied up the Chamber of Commerce manager Lemario.
