Locke was mutilated... In less than half a day, everyone in the city knew about it. When the leader of the opposing black forces, Ai Linke, heard about this, he was so frightened that he dropped the wine glass in his hand on the spot, and then hid without a trace.
How and why Locke died, most people don't know, only a few can guess the reason.
For example, Roderick, the lord of the city, or Dole, the house builder.
Dor Gun is a foreman of the construction team, and he usually deals with a lot of people, and there is also a little nobleman behind him to help. Although he doesn't have many powerful connections, he still knows some news.
When he saw the blueprint of the temple given by Beta, he guessed that the master mage might have a conflict with Locke. After all, he has met Locke before, and knows that the boss usually likes to brag that he has 'fucked' a female magician, and he doesn't have much respect for magicians.
The most important thing is that the largest land in the city that may be sold is in Locke's hands.
The reason why Locke has such a large land is because there are people behind Locke.
There are people behind the two big gangs, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago.
Dor Gun guessed that the two would have a conflict, but he did not expect that the conflict would come so quickly and so intensely. In less than half a day, Locke died, and he died so badly.
After hearing the news, Dole calculated himself, and directly discounted the money needed to build the temple by 20%.
It doesn't matter if you earn less money, don't annoy this hot-tempered Faye.
That night, the upper floors of Antibes City moved around quite frequently. When the next day dawned, a new underground order was re-founded and established calmly.
Beta doesn't know about it, and has no interest. It was also the next day when Pete and Dole came out outside the hotel at the same time.
Pete put on a new set of clothes, people depend on clothes, and once he puts on good clothes, he doesn't look so wretched anymore.
He handed over a land deed and said, "Master Master, this is the land deed you want, two hundred and thirty acres."
"How much?" Beta asked.
"Not a penny." Pete shook his head vigorously.
A gold coin appeared on the table and pushed towards Pete.
"It's yours."
Beta clapped his hands again, and a tall golden armored knight suddenly appeared in the shadow behind him, carrying a nearly two-meter-long black giant sword, walking to Pete's side.
"Yesterday's incident was my negligence. I didn't expect that someone would directly attack you. This knight is my magic puppet, and his strength is not bad. At least in this city, few people seem to be his opponents. These days it I will follow you all the way to protect your safety."
The Golden Armored Knight is a summoned object, and Beta pointed to Pete's 'Protection' option in the system interface.
Pete was flattered: "This, this, master mage, I can't bear it, my life is worthless."
"Whether life is cheap or not is up to you. But sometimes, others can count." Beta looked at Pete: "Next, you have to help me find out, those nobles in the city are richer, and those rich businessmen are more willing. Spend money. It would be taboo for common people to inquire about nobles, but with the protection of this knight, I don’t think anyone would dare to attack you casually.”
Pete changed his waist deeply: "Yes, I understand."
Just as Pete was about to leave, Beta suddenly said: "You are a little different from yesterday. I see the light of ambition in your eyes. Do you want to have power?"
Pete's whole body stiffened. He felt that he had been stripped naked and was being scrutinized mercilessly by the nobleman opposite.
Beta withdrew his gaze, and the coercion disappeared, and Pete let out a long breath.
"It's a good thing to have ambition, and it's also a good thing to have power. After all, with power, you can better protect your family." Beta didn't look at Pete, he just stared at the data that Dole rolled over on the desktop, and said casually: " If things are done well and you pass my observation and test, I may be able to give you some of the power you want."
Pete was shaking with excitement all over his body. He bent down deeply, turned around and left, swiftly and resolutely. The knight in golden armor followed behind him, making thumping noises as he walked.
Dole looked enviously at Pete who left.
After reading the data sheet that Dole rolled out, Beta raised his head in surprise: "The price is very conscientious."
Dor Gun heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test, and said with a smile: "We have always done things fairly, and no one cheats."
"You saved me a lot of money." Beta smiled and continued: "In this case, let me add another order. You help me carve a statue of a god, which looks like this. Wait for twenty Michael."
Beta took out a drawing from under the table, it was a very careful sketch, the person on it was Woking, and Beta simply colored it.
Wearing a gold skirt armor and holding a golden scepter, Wojin is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off.
Dole took a deep breath: "Master, the appearance of this goddess is so beautiful, I'm afraid we won't be able to portray it. Besides, if we portray the appearance of the goddess, will the goddess be angry?"
"Don't worry, she is very talkative, she is an out-and-out good god."
This is Beta's new idea. Now all the statues of gods have blurred faces. This is just a kind of taboo, probably because the gods are noble, and mortals don't know how to look at their appearance directly, and they don't know it.
But Beta feels that her goddess is so beautiful, which is a big advantage. If the same two gods of different religions have the same teachings, people will naturally choose the beautiful goddess to believe in.
That's why Beta felt that because he prided himself on being noble, he didn't want to let mortals know his appearance, so if he didn't take advantage of his own appearance, it would be a foolish act.
What's more, the God of Wealth Sect is currently weak, and its followers are pitifully small compared to other major religions. It is imperative to do everything possible to preach without crossing the bottom line.
Not long after, Dole left the hotel with a bag of deposit and a beautiful female sketch. He felt a little uneasy. After all, in the past thousands of years, he had never heard of anyone who dared to carve a god. appearance.
At the same time, at the Fire Worship Church in the city, the new archbishop heard the news reported by his subordinates, and immediately slapped the table angrily: "Where did the little cult of evil gods come from? How dare they carry out missionary activities on my site and want to build a temple?" Does he think he is a member of the Temple of Light? Abraham, take a team over and invite me over. I want to see if such a bold person really has three guts on his face. "
Abraham of lv4, after hearing the order, immediately went to the apse to order a team of good temple guards, and went straight to the hotel where Beta had collapsed.
