Chapter 307 Ghost Forest(1/2)
"?"
Bishop Fowler's eyes were full of doubts, surprise, and shock. He didn't understand why Mavey appeared here.
Those words just now...
Did he hear everything?
Even though Bishop Fowler was thick-skinned, he felt his cheeks heat up slightly after being slandered in front of the rightful owner, which was a bit unbearable.
It's like adding poison to wine to kill someone, only to turn around and see that person is right behind you...
No matter how big your heart is, it still makes you tremble.
Seeing Bishop Fowler discovering him, Ma Wei stopped pretending. In fact, he never hid his identity from the beginning to the end. It was just that Bishop Fowler was too old and dazzled to notice him at the first time.
Who is to blame?
Anyway, Ma Wei felt that he was right.
After leaving the seat, under the gaze of countless eyes, Ma Wei came to the pulpit, took out his wallet, took out a few bank notes with a face value of 50 gold pounds, and slowly put them into the donation box. Then, he turned and returned to his seat.
Sit still.
Someone recognized Ma Wei, lowered his head and whispered to the people around him. For a moment, the preaching hall felt like a nest of some kind of arthropod, with constant rustling sounds.
Bishop Fowler glanced at the donation box, and then looked at Ernest, who was not far away, who was also confused. He cleared his throat, put his finger between his eyebrows and said, "Ahem, thank you Nicholas von Manstein.
Because of your support for the church, may the goddess bless you..."
After Bishop Fowler finished speaking, everyone looked at Ma Wei, who smiled and said: "As the potion dealer of the church, although I have a heavy responsibility, I can't show my achievements to the majority of believers. This is nothing, and I don't care about reputation.
, just pragmatic.”
"But I was suddenly enlightened by Bishop Fowler's rebuke just now."
"Bishop Fowler believes that being pragmatic is not enough. You must have a face-saving project. Only in this way can you be loyal to the goddess. To put it simply, we don't need to fear the goddess in our hearts, as long as we can be decent on the surface."
"I didn't say that!"
Bishop Fowler quickly interrupted Ma Wei and said hurriedly: "I mean Donal Pat's donation to the church deserves praise! I didn't say that pragmatism is not good! Congressman Donal has done a lot of practical things for the church. This
It’s obvious to all!”
"Yes, Councilor Donnell is such a good councilman." Mawei said with a smile: "I think under his leadership, the people of Lambeth District must have lived a good life. For example, they no longer have to walk through caves for two or three years.
The streets are unmanaged, and you have to do housework every day and stay up late to sew to support the family. Your children are of appropriate age but have no schooling or can only be sent to public schools that do not teach you knowledge at all...right?"
"you..."
Ignoring Bishop Fowler, Mavey said to the monk on the side: "Please open the door."
The monk glanced at Bishop Fowler and made no move. Marvey didn't care. He patted his palms lightly and the door opened from the outside. A demon hunter wearing a military hat walked in: "Mr. Nicholas, what do you have?"
Order?"
"Just so more people can hear what I'm going to say next."
Mavey walked out of the preaching hall and stood on the steps at the door of the Destiny Church. The female believers in the preaching hall quickly followed. Seeing this, Bishop Fowler and Ernest stepped forward to stop him, but were responsible for protecting Mavey.
The witcher stopped him.
"Bishop Fowler, we are ordered to protect Mr. Nicholas von Manstein. Please don't make it difficult for us."
"I'm going to stop him! This is a church! Get out of the way!"
The demon hunter captain said expressionlessly: "This is his freedom, and he also has this power."
"The right to speak at the door of any church? Why didn't I know!"
The Demon Hunter Captain reached into his arms, took out a document, and unfolded it in front of Bishop Fowler: "Document signed by the Pope himself, Article 13, the potion dealers of the church can enter any church of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny,
The person in charge of the church shall not obstruct the potion trade."
"Magic potion trading? Where did the potion trading come from!" Bishop Fowler was dumbfounded: "He was obviously giving a speech!"
Mavey, who was standing at the door, turned around, glanced at Bishop Fowler, then took out a bottle of mercury blood from his pocket, handed it to the demon hunter beside him, and said: "This bottle of potion only costs 1 penny.
Answer me in 20 minutes."
"yes!"
"He is taking advantage of a loophole!!!" Bishop Fowler roared: "This is taking advantage of a file vulnerability!"
"Exploiting file vulnerabilities..."
The Demon Hunter Captain nodded, took out his notebook, and wrote down what Bishop Fowler said: "On May 27, in order to stop Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, Bishop Fowler said that there were loopholes in the document signed by the Pope himself.
, and questioned..."
Bishop Fowler's expression changed: "What are you remembering? You are a demon hunter and should be responsible for extraordinary events!"
"In order to better protect the safety of Mr. Nicholas von Manstein, the Pope ordered us to record the words and deeds that are hostile to him." The demon hunter captain said calmly: "Including Your Excellency, the bishop you just said to the believers in the church.
We recorded everything we said."
Bishop Fowler swallowed, suppressed the anger in his heart, and stopped trying to stop Ma Wei.
Ma Wei also gave a speech on the spot.
"Bishop Fowler just said that I have no contribution to the church. I think he is wrong. My contribution to the church is not in the open, but in secret."
"As for your loyalty to the goddess, it is indeed very important, but I think what is more important is your actual contribution to the goddess. Who can't just say beautiful words?"
"Contribution is reflected in all aspects. Resolutely following the doctrine, being a qualified believer, spontaneously promoting the doctrine, and making donations to the church are just one way of contribution!"
“Another way to contribute is to maintain the land where the teachings grow!”
"Under our feet is London! There are believers of the goddess living on this land! Protecting them means protecting the church! It is a contribution!"
Bishop Fowler listened blankly to Ma Wei's speech, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He was a little desperate.
Today's efforts all turned into dust in the sound of Ma Wei's speech.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This kind of opponent is too scary. Give him a chance and he can link his campaign for parliament with religious activities.
As if running for parliament is for a goddess!
The key is that you can't find anything wrong...
Protecting London is indeed protecting the church and the goddess in a sense.
Once these two concepts are connected, Ma Wei will be invincible.
Bishop Fowler's previous criticisms of him will all come to nothing...
While desperate, Bishop Fowler also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's actually a good thing that it ends before it even begins.
The mistake he made was not unforgivable. In essence, he reprimanded Ma Wei for the sake of the church, so it was not a big mistake.
If it ends here, he won't need to bear too much of a crime, and there will be no problem in keeping his position as bishop.
As for Senator Donnell...
Do you care whether he lives or lives?
Bishop Fowler doesn't care!
Of course, the premise of all this is that Ma Wei is willing to let him go.
And Ma Wei did not intend to let this 'old friend' continue to go against him.
"Bishop Fowler is very loyal to the goddess. The reason why he rebuked me is because Senator Donnell has done a lot of face-saving projects, and in his eyes, my contribution to the church is zero."
"You can't blame him. He is old and can no longer understand the emerging industry of potions. He doesn't understand how it works and is still thinking with old ideas..."
"But aside from these things, Bishop Fowler is still an admirable believer!"
Upon hearing these words, Bishop Fowler's eyes widened, his legs weakened, and he almost fell to the ground - if it weren't for Ernest's support.
Ma Wei did not use low-level methods such as direct criticism, but instead openly praised and secretly criticized Bishop Fowler. On the surface, he was trying to excuse Bishop Fowler, but in fact, he kept implying that Bishop Fowler was unqualified, old-sighted, and old.
I can no longer bear the burden of being a bishop...
A knife stabbed into Bishop Fowler's chest. There was no trace of blood, but the knife was fatal!
Murder and heart-wrenching!
After the speech, Ma Wei came to Bishop Fowler, who had a pale and twisted expression and was sweating coldly. He took off his hat and bowed and saluted: "Bishop Fowler, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave. I hope that the next time we see you again, it will be at Destiny Church."
A burst of hot blood surged to the top of his head, Bishop Fowler heard a 'buzzing' sound in his ears, his vision went dark, and he fell straight down.
"bishop!!!"
Bishop Fowler fainted. Ma Wei returned to the carriage, opened the door, and suddenly heard applause from behind.
"The speech just now was really wonderful."
The walnut pipe appeared first, followed by the deerstalker hat and crisp suit. Holmes came with a cane and said with a smile: "When today's speech is published in the newspapers, the seat of parliament will be yours, Mr. Nicholas."
"It turns out to be Mr. Holmes. Long time no see. Why are you here today?"
