The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 248: Abandoned by God (4)
Although it was hard to believe, the members of the dark forces finally accepted Ji Cheng's seemingly strong setting.
During the "fight" that day, Baruch was thrown to the ground by Ji Cheng in various postures eight times. Because he fell on his face every time, by the end of the fight, Baruch's face had swollen into the shape of a pig's head, and even the sound of calling for a stop was so vague: "I... I lose!"
Hearing this, Ji Cheng immediately stopped, and Baruch, who was held in the air by him, fell to the ground with a bang, successfully falling nine times.
And Baruch finally couldn't bear such a blow, rolled his eyes and fainted.
After that day, Ji Cheng left the small courtyard for the first time and began to wander around the town.
They are now living in a small border town with a small permanent population, but because it is located at the junction of two kingdoms, the flow of people is very frequent, and it is also a rare place where the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Light is relatively loose.
The station of the Church of Light is not in the town, but in a small town attached to the town.
Ji Cheng wandered around the town for a few days, and after finding out the situation nearby, he went into the town with the members of the dark forces.
The members of the dark forces have been observing Ji Cheng during this period of time, but from another perspective, isn't Ji Cheng also observing these people?
Although he has Chen's memory as a support, he has always been the Son of Light and is protected by the Church of Light. The information he can receive has also been filtered by the Church and the nobles. Rather than directly contacting the word "dark forces", it is better to say that all he knows is filtered and demonized hearsay.
According to legend, the members of the dark forces are all extremely vicious criminals. They have no humanity, oppress civilians, assassinate nobles, and take doing bad things as their first goal in life. In short, they are as bad as they can be. If there are demons in the world, they must be the members of the dark forces.
Although the above brainwashing packages can't fool Ji Cheng, due to Chen's limited age and experience, he can't see the true side of these people from Chen's memory.
While playing Landlord (crossed out) and recuperating for such a long time at Allen's house, Ji Cheng also completed his own assessment of the members of the dark forces stationed here: quite naive.
None of them are nobles, but none of them are criminals. Rather than saying that these people have the goal of doing bad things in life, it is better to say that they are more like the kind of people who want to help old ladies when they see them passing by - enthusiastic, and a little nosy.
Except for loving to cause trouble for the Holy See of Light, none of the other characteristics can match what Chen heard from others in his memory.
In this case, they still insist on going against the Holy See of Light, which is very intriguing - since the problem is not with the members of the dark forces, who else can the problem be?
Knowing that Allen and others are going to go into the city to buy supplies, Ji Cheng volunteered to go with them to the city for a stroll.
Although he is now a fugitive, he was the most popular son of the Holy See before. It is somewhat embarrassing to issue a wanted order. Therefore, the outside world has not openly posted a wanted order for Ji Cheng. Of course, it may also be because the Pope and others think that Ji Cheng is cursed by the elements and has no chance to practice magic. Even if he escapes, he will not cause any trouble.
However, although there is no clear wanted order, Ji Cheng still disguised himself slightly just in case.
Compared with the small town where they lived before, this small town is not big, but the types of goods are much richer. Some residents of nearby towns and villages deliberately bring their own products to the city to sell.
The customs and customs of the small world of 4895 are different from what Ji Cheng has experienced before, so he is quite curious.
The members of the dark forces were a little worried that Ji Cheng would run around or something after entering the city, but seeing that he has been quietly following the team to different stores to buy, they gradually put their minds at ease.
Besides Ji Cheng, the most lively and excited person in the whole team is Alan.
After all, he is a child. He kept muttering along the way: "Wow, I can finally enter the city. I want to go to Mark's tavern!"
"His skill in roasting rabbits is really unique!!"
"And the magic wand! Last time when Clara and I went to pick fruits in the woods, we accidentally broke it. We need to get another one!"
Someone in the group couldn't help laughing and said, "Alan, do you need to buy another magic wand for your summoning magic?"
--Ah, I forgot to say that although Alan is a summoner, his physique... uh, a little special.
The magic beasts summoned by other summoners are fierce beasts such as sword demons, tigers, and powerful lions. It is said that summoners who have practiced to the extreme can even communicate with other planes to summon divine beasts such as the three-headed dog of hell and the nine-headed chimera, but Alan... he has never summoned any aggressive magic beasts.
Rabbits, mice, and the like are quite common, and even the skunk that he signed a contract with is the most powerful being that Allen can summon - for example, it can suffocate the enemy.
Because of this somewhat ridiculous talent, Allen was not recruited by the Church of Light or any big family, and was even ridiculed.
However, he himself seems to not care much, anyway, the members of the dark forces are his family - or elders.
When he heard the member's teasing, Allen couldn't help but glare: "What's wrong with my physique? Isn't my physique like that of a summoner?!"
Others said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes -"
It was noon in a blink of an eye, because Allen kept talking about "Mark's roast rabbit", so in order to take care of the youngest, the leader Baruch waved his hand, and everyone went to Mark's Tavern.
The owner of the tavern, Mark, is an enthusiastic middle-aged man. It can be seen that he has a good relationship with Baruch and the others. When he saw a group of them coming over, he didn’t ask any questions. He first brought everyone a barrel of beer and then went to the kitchen. Gone to bake a rabbit for Alan.
When the fragrant rabbit meat was served, Mark didn't forget to give an extra piece of bread to Jicheng, a new face.
So everyone started drinking and eating.
Allen also secretly wanted to summon his little ferret and share a delicious roast rabbit with it, but turned around and was pinned down by Baruch - just kidding, if he stuns the people in this tavern What to do if it falls? They can't afford that much medical bills!
Just as the two sides were having a heated argument, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat with a budgerigar on his shoulder walked in swaggeringly.
At the same time, his loud voice also sounded: "We had a great time chatting!"
Seeing this aristocratic man, Baruch and Allen, who were still philosophizing on the question "Will a skunk not be able to help but fart when eating a roasted rabbit?", stopped immediately.
Or rather, it wasn't just the two of them, the other diners chatting in the tavern stopped.
Someone nervously called out "Lord Elmer."
Mark, who was still busy in the kitchen, came out immediately when he heard the shouting. His expression changed when he saw the person coming, and he asked: "Master Elmer, why are you here?"
Elmer heard this and asked in a strange tone: "Why, you don't welcome me?"
Mark immediately shook his head wildly: "No, no, no, how could that be?"
Elmer snorted: "You know the truth. Remember, if you disrespect me, you are disrespecting the Holy See of Light!"
The budgerigar on his shoulder immediately flapped its wings and repeated: "You just don't respect the Holy See of Light! You don't respect the Holy See of Light!"

After silencing Mark, Elmer smiled proudly, and then walked towards Jicheng and the others in a majestic manner.
Compared with the respectful attitude of other guests, the members of the dark forces were not so polite.
Among them, Allen took the lead and said through gritted teeth: "Elmer——"
However, Elmer didn't seem to hear any of the anger in Allen's "greeting". Instead, he looked at Ji Cheng, who was sitting at the same table with the members of the Dark Forces, and said in a surprised tone: "What a strange face..." …”
Baruch stopped Elmer vigilantly and explained: "This is my distant nephew who came to join me in the past two days."
Afraid that Jicheng was still unsure about the situation, he introduced: "Ah Heng, this is Elmer, the church elder of the Holy See of Light in Chris City."
——The ranks in the Holy See of Light are clear. The meaning of the church elders means that Elmer is the person in charge of the mission of the Holy See of Light in Chris City.
But it's obvious that the relationship between Baruch's gang and Elmer is not very good.
Elmer looked at Jicheng meaningfully: "Is this your distant nephew? Baruch, you have quite a few distant nephews. Allen is one, and now there's another one?"
Allen stuck out his tongue at Elmer unconvinced, while Baruch was a little nervous, fearing that Elmer would suspect Jicheng's identity.
"There's no way, many relatives are like this," Jicheng answered from the side, "Unlike you, Mr. Elmer, you may not be able to understand it."
Elmer was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Ji Cheng meant. Alan next to him burst out laughing: "Hahaha, it's true."
Now Elmer finally realized: This kid was mocking him for being an orphan!
He blushed instantly: "You!"
Elmer looked around the tavern and suddenly turned cold: "Mark, you haven't paid tax on the food in your tavern, right?"
Mark's expression changed: "Sir Elmer, I usually pay my taxes to the City Lord's Mansion on time -"
"That's the City Lord's Mansion!" Elmer said, "I am representing our Holy See of Light now! What, don't you want to pay?"
The budgerigar on his shoulder fluttered its wings, as if it was going to shout "disrespecting the Holy See of Light" in the next second.
"Yes," Elmer found a way to sanction the people present, shaking his head and saying, "Since you have come to Chris City and eat here, you have to pay tax - well, each of you will pay half a silver coin. Mark, you are the owner of the store. Just pay three silver coins. I, Elmer, am very kind!"
Half a silver coin is equivalent to fifty copper coins. If you eat less, a meal will not cost you so much.
The faces of the diners also changed, but no one dared to refute Elmer's words - after all, being labeled a heretic would be more serious than losing a little money.
The faces of Baruch and others became even more ugly: There are so many of them!
It's just that this is Chris City, and Elmer still bears the title of a church elder. Even if it is easy to kill Elmer in a competition of force, there is a more powerful Holy See of Light above him.
Finally, Baruch held down Allen who wanted to jump up and bite Elmer, and settled the "tax" with a dark face.
The originally wonderful dinner was ruined, and everyone was in a bad mood. Allen cursed all the way: "Damn Elmer, didn't he just scold you in front of your concubine? Why is he still holding a grudge?"
In the afternoon, they went to the magic shop to look at the various props inside. Ji Cheng wanted to find a craftsman to see if he could make a set of mahjong tiles or something. As a result, Elmer showed up again and used the "tax" he collected at noon to snatch away the things they liked one by one. When he used the "dignity of the Holy See" to prohibit Ji Cheng from making an appointment with the craftsman in person, Ji Cheng's thoughts finally reached a high degree of agreement with the members of the dark forces:
The Holy See of Light is really annoying! !
