On the other side, after the fire fighting was over, the residents returned to their homes to rest.
Randolph looked around and looked at the broken church, and then realized, where will people like me sleep tonight?
"Damn!" Randolph roared angrily, "That guy! That guy actually..."
Before, when he was in a state of anger when the church was crashed, he didn't expect many things. Now that Renshao calmed down, he finally realized it.
Why did that guy crash the church? The purpose was to leave people like him without a place to rest, and then unable to carry out missionary activities.
He also said why the other party was so happy when he agreed to compensate later. It turned out that the purpose had been achieved. At first, he thought he was just to vent his anger, but he didn't expect his purpose to be so clear!
The priests were still a little confused and didn't understand why Bishop Randolph, who had always been good-tempered, suddenly cursed, so they quickly asked, "What's wrong? Mr. Bishop."
Randolph took a deep breath, calmed down his excitement, and waved his hand, "It's okay. Let's find a resident to stay for one night."
After asking the priests to find a place to live, Randolph looked at the Baronial Manor who could be seen from any corner of Nafu City. His eyes were once again full of firm belief, and he thought to himself: I won't give up so easily! This kind of blow is a piece of cake to me! Come on! I'm not afraid of you!
In the early morning of the next day, a notice about the accident in the church was posted on Nafu City.
"An accident happened last night. The church in Nafu City was destroyed. The Viscount decided to help build a brand new church at his own expense. In the meantime, because there is no church, it may affect everyone's daily prayers. After the new church is built, everything will return to normal!"
Randolph Although I had expected it, my body still started to tremble with anger after seeing such an announcement.
The whole article does not mention the mistake Isaac made at all, blaming everything on an accident. But this is not the most critical thing. The key thing is the last sentence. At first glance, there is no problem, but if you look closely, you will find that the following sentences convey the meaning: the church is gone, so everyone should not pray these days.
To most people, there is no problem, but those few words will form a hint, that is: the church has been destroyed anyway, so we should wait until the Viscount builds the church before we go to pray.
Randolph stood dumbly in front of the announcement, his fists clenched.
But the people's comments came to my ears, "Your Majesty the Viscount is so kind. The church was accidentally destroyed, and he actually offered to help rebuild it."
"Yes, but isn't the Viscount always very nice?"
"The new pastors are very lucky. They were able to move to a new church within a few days of their arrival. You must know that the previous church has been around longer than my father."
Randolph resisted the urge to tell the truth. It wasn't time to make the conflict clear yet, and with Claire's reputation in Nafu City, it was hard to say how things would develop after the conflict between them was made clear. His foundation was not stable not long after he arrived, so he couldn't afford to gamble.
Later, when Randolph was in front of the church that was crashed last night, they found that the ruins of the church had already begun to be cleaned up. Those Minotaur picked up hammers and knocked down the stone walls of the church, and then dragged them out.
When he saw it, the cleanup was almost finished. Randolph thought that Claire had some kind intentions and wanted to help them rebuild a new church so quickly.
But upon closer inspection, I discovered that not only their church had been demolished, but some of the Residential Area near the church had also been demolished.
Randolph was shocked on the spot, what kind of nonsense is this!
"This gentleman wants to ask you something!" Randolph grabbed a man who was passing by carrying luggage and asked.
After putting down the heavy object on his back, the man wiped the sweat on his forehead. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw Randolph, "Bishop Randolph! I recognize you. My wife likes you very much. She praised your understanding of the divine scriptures as much better than the previous Pastor Oma. She is a devout believer of God of Light."
"Really?" Randolph had a peaceful smile on his face and made a praying gesture, "The Lord will protect her."
"I will tell her." A happy smile appeared on the man's face, "Bishop Randolph Do you have any questions to ask me?"
Randolph pointed at the Residential Area that were being demolished and asked, "What's going on? Wasn't it good yesterday? Why are they being demolished?"
"Oh! That's what you said." The man put his hands on his hips and looked at the Minotaur who were working hard, and sighed, "I have to thank the Viscount for this!"
Randolph immediately frowned. He now had a physiological reaction to the words "Lord Viscount" and felt uncomfortable all over when he heard it.
"Can you tell me more about it?"
An even more excited smile appeared on the man's face, "The Viscount said that there is not enough greening in Nafu City, so this area will be demolished and a new park will be built. It seems to be called Mermaid Park. From now on, we Nafu City residents can come in and play for free, and there is no need to spend money on public facilities!"
Randolph was anxious, "Are you so willing to demolish the house?"
Is the reputation of Claire really that high?! These residents were actually willing to give up their homes for him to demolish.
"Of course not. The Viscount compensated us. Our houses were very old. The Viscount promised to build a brand new house for us somewhere else. In addition to a brand new house, there was also a subsidy of thirty Gold Coins per household. This much money allows me to do a lot of things I want to do! Buy toys for my children, jewelry for my wife..." The man's words were full of infinite longing.
Randolph felt a little bad, "When did it happen? Why haven't I heard any news at all?"
"Just this morning, when we just got up, people from Steward's Office came to talk to us. I heard that Lord Viscount wanted to do it. People in our area have agreed. Now we are moving some daily necessities to stay in the hotel. Lord Viscount also paid for the hotel."
Randolph greeted the other party and left, his face became ugly, he lowered his head and roared in a low voice, "I'm just telling you, I'm just telling you, how could you suddenly crash the church? You are also willing to help us rebuild it. It turns out that this is linked to each other!"
"Move the church away from the southern area where people gather. This will make it more difficult for us to preach, right?" Randolph gritted his teeth and said, "I thought I valued you enough, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you! Mr. Viscount Griffin Territory!"
Randolph stamped his feet and beat his chest for a long time before he regained his composure. He couldn't just give up!
Within the Baronial Manor, Randolph has been drinking tea and pastries on the sofa for three hours, but there is not even a trace of Claire.
It wasn't until the sun set behind the city wall that Randolph, who had been waiting, heard the "click-click" sound coming down the stairs.
"If Bishop Randolph doesn't go to preach, why would you come to the Baronial Manor to find me when you have time?" Claire said with a squinted smile.
