disaster strikes

Chapter 556 Investigation of Rhine City

Around two in the afternoon.

The four members of the tour group brought Madi to the bustling Rhine City.

It was the first time Madi saw so many people, and he showed longing and excited expressions.

On both sides of the bustling street, there are a wide variety of goods, business travelers are constantly coming and going, vendors hawking along the street are crowding shoulder to shoulder, jugglers, missionaries, and bards can be found everywhere, all of which fascinated him deeply and made him forget to return.

"The scale of Rhine City is far from being comparable to Pooh Town. We will live here in the next few days, and we still have a lot of time to play. Let's book a hotel first."

"Ah."

The five booked three rooms, and Madi lived in one alone.

Due to the high cost of the hotel, there is nothing to say about the service. When the ladies in pink and white passed by in twos and threes, they couldn't help but look at Ma Di more.

"Hey, gentlemen, is this your pet? I'm very interested. Would you like to sell it to me?"

A fat and old lady, wearing a mink coat, followed by a few followers, stopped the four people in the tour group, and said to Madi who was following behind.

a whistle.

There was an extra fireball in Chen Mo's hand, and the attendants behind the lady stepped forward one after another, blocking her.

A well-mannered man wearing a wig walked up quickly.

"Mr. Magician, I am the housekeeper. Please don't get me wrong. My wife has no malicious intentions."

"Better so."

After Chen Mo responded coldly, he looked at Ma Di and said, "He is a noble elf who has wandered into the mortal world, and he is my friend. If you talk about him like that again, it will arouse my anger."

Under the housekeeper's persuasion, the lady reluctantly left.

"Really, if you don't sell it, don't sell it. I'm just curious and want to play. Forget it, it will save my gold coins."

the other side.

Ma Di timidly said: "Mr. Traveler, I have caused you trouble."

"Ahem, Mr. Muddy."

Chen Mo solemnly said: "No one can insult you, including yourself. Even if you can't cause harm to the person who insulted you, you have to show a certain amount of anger about it, at least let people feel that if he continues like this, You will have the determination to fight back like hell."

The same goes for Disaster World.

The bullying between the natural disasters is often formed in repeated temptations.

But it does not mean that the strong can wantonly bully the weak.

As long as the weak show enough determination, they generally won't be too embarrassed.

"Thank you."

Maddy said with wet eyes.

Chen Mo came to the front desk, registered the basic information, took out a few silver coins, handed them to the little girl in front of him, and told her to take good care of Ma Di.

"Please rest assured, sir, we have the best service in Rhine City."

For the next three days.

The five of them seemed to be tourists from afar who came here for a special trip, and they had completely integrated into the city.

While Chen Mo stayed here in the name of recuperating his injuries, he secretly investigated the St. Randy's Cathedral where Lango was, and quickly obtained relevant clues.

As one of the ten cathedrals of the Holy See, St. Randy's Cathedral has extraordinary influence. Not only is there a red-clothed archbishop stationed all year round, but also many senior clergymen, and countless believers come here to worship every year.

Especially in the time of catastrophe.

The power of the Holy See is the main force to appease the people, so that large-scale turmoil can be prevented.

of course.

Several people did not forget to investigate Earl Orff's intelligence.

"Count Orff is a resolute and upright devout believer. He seems to dislike his son very much. He once publicly said that Werther is not worthy of inheriting his title. This is a bit strange."

Chen Mo frowned and said: "But according to the information we have collected, Werther's performance in all aspects is very good, even if he is not an elite class, he is at least an excellent nobleman. Why is Orff like this? What's the secret?"

"I think it's weird too."

Tian Tian stared wide-eyed, looking puzzled.

"And there is nothing wrong with Werther's background. He is not an illegitimate child. The reason why he went to the town of Pooh was also hated by Earl Orff, and he was relegated there. This is a bit strange."

Nengying and Apocalypse also showed deep puzzlement.

Chen Mo rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"After all, the source of the information is not a close confidant of Earl Orff. It seems that we are going to use some special means."

"And Lango, this guy!"

Ning Ying showed a strange look on his face.

"Since he returned to Rhine City, he has never left St. Randy's Cathedral. He seems to be afraid of retaliation. His uncle is the bishop of Notre Dame Cathedral. As long as he does not leave Notre Dame Cathedral, he is absolutely safe."

"Absolutely safe?"

Chen Mo sneered, and said lightly: "That's just for people in this world, because they are afraid of the Holy See, they dare not fish to death. We are natural disasters."

"I think so."

Nengying continued: "I have received definite information. The Pope ordered that cathedrals around the world shrink their establishments to prepare for the dark age. Bishops and senior clergy from all over the world will go to the Notre Dame Cathedral for a meeting. The bishops and senior officials of St. Randy Cathedral The clergy will depart in two days."

"In two days?"

Chen Mo stretched himself, this is good news!

"In order to investigate Linda's clues, we have delayed so much mission time, and now we are at the bottom of the boat, so this time no matter what, we must find Lango and get the truth from him! "

Chen Mo slapped the table hard, and made a conclusion on this matter. .

……

The next evening.

In the hotel where the tour group was temporarily staying, a guest was welcomed.

This person is the scholar consultant of the Orff Manor, responsible for bringing the latest mathematical knowledge from the academic world to the manor and imparting it to Orff.

Count Orff turned out to be an avid mathematics research enthusiast.

"Mr. Allen, welcome."

Chen Mo greeted Alan with a smile.

After a short social etiquette, Chen Mo waved his hand lightly, stepped forward with a sweet smile, and put the tray in his hand on the table.

He casually lifted the cloth on the tray, revealing a full set of silver coins.

According to Chen Mo's investigation, besides studying mathematics, this Allen also has a well-known hobby, which is gambling.

He has always believed that he can make a lot of money in the casino by relying on his knowledge of mathematical probability.

But the actual result is a lot of debt.

He is using his hobbies to challenge other people's majors. Although Chen Mo doesn't have much contact with him, he knows that winning or losing in gambling is not just a matter of mathematics.

"I'll cut to the chase today. As long as Mr. Allen can answer my question truthfully, then these silver coins will belong to Mr. Allen."

After Chen Mo noticed that Alan's eyes were shining, he said with a smile.

"This... what do you want to know?"

"Why does Earl Orff hate Werther?"

After learning that Chen Mo just wanted to understand this question, Alan breathed a sigh of relief, with a relaxed smile on his face.

He had never made such easy money in his life.

"Are you sure you just want to know this?"

"of course."

Chen Mo couldn't help but his eyes lit up, Alan must know some insider clues.

I saw him laughing, and put away all the silver coins in front of him quite confidently.

"The reason why Count Orff doesn't like Werther is because he violated the precepts that Count Orff has always observed, namely rage, lust, and laziness."

"Ok?"

It's understandable for Chen Mo to be furious.

After all, he not only killed his wife, but also openly chased and killed Lango, but what about lust and laziness?

"I will say three things, and you will be able to understand Count Orff."

Allen stretched out his right index finger first.

"First, because Werther failed to fulfill his coming-of-age ceremony wish, he was furious in public and stabbed his mother with the saber he carried with him."

Then he extended his middle finger again.

"Secondly, he actually forced Count Orff's young and beautiful fourth lady to be caught by Count Orff."

He held out a third finger.

"Thirdly, he is ignorant and lacks the ability to inherit Earl Orff in any field. After taking charge of the management of the manor, he caused a huge deficit that year. Earl Orff was very disappointed in him."

"No way?"

Chen Mo pinched his chin with his right hand, looking unbelievable.

"But the people in Pooh Town seem to have a different opinion of Werther. They all say that he is a funny, excellent, and loving person, and he loves his daughter very much. It has become a good story in the town."

Allen showed disdain and sneered.

"What do those country folks know, he is just good at disguising, because only in this way can he play with those stupid ladies, let those stupid ladies undress, and get the earl's silver coins for him to squander , do you really understand him?"

Chen Mo frowned deeply.

He originally thought that this tragedy was caused by Linda's mother.

But looking at it now, it seems that there is something else hidden.

The matter was not as simple as he imagined. Fortunately, he came to investigate in person, otherwise he would still be kept in the dark.

"Been taught a lesson."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Chen Mo hurriedly said, "By the way, how much do you know about Linda?"

"she?"

Allen stood at the door and paused.

"I think she must be very pitiful. After all, she has such an irresponsible and dirty father. I once heard Count Orff talk about her. She harmed Linda, and she deeply regrets it, and regrets that she didn't kill Werther in the first place, so that Linda came to this world to suffer, so it can be seen that her situation is obviously not very good."

"Count Orff said so?"

Chen Mo inevitably had self-doubt in his heart, and it was difficult for him to coincide the Werther in Allen's mouth with the Werther in his previous impression.

"I see."

Chen Mo signaled the other party to leave.
