When I heard that the kind and kind Ms. Selia was going to recruit young and promising subordinates, boys and girls who met the conditions flocked to them.

Monica personally sat at the entrance of the church, and all the interviewers in the school were interviewed one by one.

Almost all the boys and girls who came were poor. Most of them were in disarray and had sweat and body odor. A large group of people gathered together, and the smell was even more intense.

Everyone in the California Hotel couldn't stand it, their faces looked a little ugly, but they had to continue to maintain public order.

Monica sat among these people with a calm expression, not showing even a trace of impatience and disgust, but seemed very comfortable.

Her attitude gave the poor people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, and their senses towards her became better and better.

And Beta was drinking fruit wine in the tavern and listening to the bard sings. In front of him, there was a drunkard bragging: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the real owner of our northwest district is Earl Billy, and the second is Marquis Claire. Many things, without Earl Billy nodding, you can't do it. If you want to open a shop on the street, you have to send five gold coins to the butler of Earl Billy."

Beta was a little surprised: "The marquis should be bigger than the Count, why is the most powerful Count Billy?"

Jiupi shook the wine glass in his hand, and it was empty.

Beta waved his hand, and the wine servant who had prepared had brought a glass of fruit wine. The wine fan took it with satisfaction, took a sip first, and then continued, "If you want to be the boss, at least you have to have soldiers in your hands. Marquis Claire's father led troops to the battle, but the army was wiped out. Even after six years, the Marquis' Mansion has not recovered. Earl Claire was only thirteen years old at the time, and now he is only nineteen years old. How can he compare with the well-established Earl Billy?"

"So what should I pay attention to if I want to get close to Count Billy?"

"The mercenaries want to see Count Billy, either have a very strong strength or go to the Big Fat Bear for helping us introduce him."

"Big fat bear?"

"There is a big river next to the northwest district of our Holy City, and there is a pier. The big fat bear is right there, and the entire pier is under his control. You will know when you go."

"Thank you."

Beta paid for the wine, and a total of thirty-two copper coins were quite cheap.

The Northwest Pier is also very lively, after all, river transportation is a very convenient thing.

The pier is not too big, but is divided into two sides. There is a long building complex with different heights and heights on the embankment high ground by the river. Below is the fixed long inclined boards of the pier. Next to the same long passage, there are one or two small boats each parked.

Beta walked around the embankment and attracted the attention of many people. These people were all armed with weapons and sharp eyes, but they didn't come up to find trouble for Beta, but they were just on guard.

After a walk around, Beta left.

When he returned to the North County Chapel, he saw a lot of people surrounding the church and a lot of people lying on the ground.

Monica was still sitting behind the table in the middle of the church, taking the interviewer.

Beta walked over, found the captain Harriman, and asked, "What's going on?"

"A group of gangsters came just now and said that this was the territory of Marquis Claire. No matter what activities you want to do, you must obtain the consent of the Marquis, otherwise it will be illegal."

"And you guys put them down?"

Harriman shrugged: "After all, it was the order given by the hostess."

Beta walked to the gangsters who were lying on the ground and moaning. When they saw people coming, they all showed resentment. And one of them even shouted, "You're done, Marquis Claire will kill you."

Beta touched the trap and asked in confusion: "Can Marquis Claire be such an idiotic person?"

"You actually dare to scold the marquis..."

"It's hard to say, after all, some nobles are really stupid and cannot be guessed by common sense. No matter what, you should be clear when you meet."

Beta kicked the man out with one kick.

In Claire Manor.

Claire, who was young and even too delicate, was coughing at this time. After finally stopping coughing, he leaned halfway on the edge of the bed, looking at the green greenness of the manor outside the window, and his heart was filled with sadness.

How long can your body last?

How long can the Claire family last?

He always believed that the most terrifying thing in the world was not death, but watching death approaching him.

That kind of powerlessness can make people live without resistance.

But he didn't dare to die. What would his mother do if he died? What would he do if his two younger brothers and the youngest sister? He could see that when he died, neither his mother nor his second brother could be able to support the family, and he would soon be suppressed by Earl Billy.

In the end, the Claire family may still exist, but the bloodline of Claire will definitely be replaced. Some irrelevant people will live in as their master's strangers.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help coughing for a while.

It seems like I'm going to cough out my lungs.

After finally coughing, he was about to lie on the bed and sleep for a while when someone knocked on the door.

He replied weakly: "Please come in."

The door came, Claire turned his head and sighed, "So it's Jeff. Is there anything wrong? If there is no urgent matter, can I sleep for a while?"

Jeff hesitated for a while, and then said, "Master, I want you to rest more, too. But you may have to meet someone this time. A young man who claims to be a subordinate of Archbishop Selia wants to meet you."

"A subordinate wants to see me?" Claire smiled bitterly, "If the Archbishop had come in person a few years ago, I would have to let him wait. Now... forget it, just meet me. Three years have passed, this is the first force to come to visit me on his own initiative, so it's good to meet me."

Claire got up from the bed, and Jeff hurried over to support him, while helping him put on a noble robe.

Then slowly move to the living room step by step.

Beta waited in the living room for a long time, and he even thought in his heart whether the owner had put his pigeon or deliberately let himself wait here!

He even had the idea of ​​leaving.

But at this moment, he heard the sound of slow and weak footsteps coming from the corridor. He walked step by step, and after walking for a long time, he appeared from the side door next to him.

Claire didn't look at who was standing in the living room. He walked directly to his master seat and sat on it with difficulty, then looked at Beta.

Walking from the side door to the main seat, he was only ten meters away, and he walked for about a minute.

The man's face was as white as a vampire, his Yin Tang looked blue, and he looked like he was about to die. But he only looked at the stubborn eyes ahead, but there was a sense of silent pride.

Will such a person send gangsters to cause trouble?

Beta had an answer in his heart.

After sitting straight, Claire finally looked at Beta and was stunned for a moment.

The man in front of him was full of heroism and calm demeanor.

But soon Claire reacted: "Why didn't your Archbishop come? Will visiting a marquis feel that it is an insult to him?"

"If it's a friendly visit, my master will naturally come." Although I guessed the truth, I still have to leave the motions: "Your Excellency sent a group of gangsters to our church to make trouble, and the master sent me to ask why."

"I don't even know who your master is, what it looks like." Claire smiled bitterly, "If I say I was framed, do you believe it?"

"Faith." Beta said lightly.

This straightforward answer surprised Claire: "You actually believe it?"

"If the marquis is, you can still believe it." Beta naturally would not explain much: "Since that is the case, I will apologize to the marquis first. We have misunderstood this."

"No...hehe." Claire coughed a few times, then there was a sick blush on his face. After a while, he took the breath and said, "It's nothing, thank you for trusting us."

Beta looked up and down for a while and asked strangely: "Marquis has been delayed for a long time, why don't you use magic to treat it?"

"Magic cannot be ruled!"

"Just lung disease, why can't it be cured for advanced disease cure?" Beta asked back.

Claire chuckled, and this action made him cough slightly: "The advanced disease cure can only be used by people above the bishop's level. And in our Holy City, all the bishops seem to want to see me die."

Beta was a little strange, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.

This is the holy city, a holy land of a sect.

The nobles are a symbol of the will of the country. The priests do not like all nobles very much. If Claire's lung disease is generally the case, someone will definitely be willing to help.

But what if a more powerful person promises the benefit?

A marquis fell down and even if he could only drink a sip of soup, he could get a lot of things.

The bishops will naturally help the side with a better chance of winning. So Claire saw the most ruthless "unity" in the world.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve such a situation. As long as there is a bishop of the God of Life, he is willing to stand behind the Claire family and help Claire cure his lung disease.

In this way, even if he does not take the initiative to end, he can still cause division among the bishops, and he will be divided into three parties at that time. One side supports Laike, the other side supports Claire's opponent, and the other side is ignorant of the ministers.

To put it bluntly, no one is optimistic about the problems caused by the young Claire.

As for why they didn't take advantage of the situation... the marquis is already a very top-level noble among the nobles. If the end of the Divine Cult is obviously targeted at a marquis, then some of the aristocratic forces in the country will definitely jump out.

Billy targeted Claire, that was a matter between nobles and an infighting.

Therefore, the bishops are not optimistic about this matter, do not participate, and ignore it.

Besides, many bishops received bribes from Billy.
