"Do you think this will work?"

Morton was a little excited, but at the same time, he scratched his head.

​​

"Let me ask you, do you think it won't work there?" Lei Luo asked back.

"Actually, you've noticed all the details and it will work. It's just that no one has ever done something like this before."

"To think that you used to run a business. Don't you know that no one has ever done such a thing before, which is the biggest profit?"

"That's true, but...but the essence of this matter is to swindle the senate!"

Morton raised his head and looked at Lei Luo.

A pair of small eyes flashed with excitement.

The two big hands kept rubbing against each other.

Looking at his expression and actions, it was more like encouragement rather than dissuasion.

He was obviously eager to give it a try.

Seeing Morton's expression, Lei Luo smiled and said, "Isn't this poverty? Evil is evil."

After two months, a convoy arrived at the abandoned village.

Almost none of the buildings here were intact. Every house needed large-scale renovation.

Moreover, there was not even a single villager. It had become the world of all kinds of plants and animals.

These weeds with tenacious vitality grew everywhere.

How could such a miserable situation be described as simple poverty?

This was simply a pile of ruins.

No, that was not right.

It was even worse than a pile of ruins.

After some calculations, Morton came up with the data.

If they wanted to renovate all the houses here and make them usable, they would need a total of 50,000 gold coins.

This was not something they could afford at the moment.

Lei Luo scolded them indignantly. "It's better to rebuild it! It's much cheaper to rebuild it!"

Morton reminded him, "Allie is only a nobleman, not a noble lord, so there's no way to apply for help from the senate."

"What should we do?"

Seeing her miserable state, even Allie, who thought that she had prepared for the worst, could not help but frown.

She shook her head and sighed.

"I personally think that we should give this village a name."

"I feel annoyed just looking at this stupid place. Why don't we call him 'bad guy'?"

"Yes, let's call him that."

These were the suggestions that Allie's two most trusted aides gave her.

After saying these three sentences, Lei Luo said to Allie, "Morton and I still have some matters to attend to. We'll probably be leaving for a period of time."

Morton turned around and patted Casa on the shoulder. He said earnestly, "After the two of us leave, this place will all depend on you. This is your first time managing a territory independently. You have to work hard! Only by managing this territory well can you manage your own territory well in the future!"

After that, Lei Luo and Morton, while Allie was dumbfounded, threw the whole mess of "bad guy" to the back of their minds.

Then, they made a carriage that was arranged and left.

The carriage sent Lei Luo and Morton to the nearest official magic teleportation portal, and Lei Luo and Morton lost contact.

They had been gone for more than two months.

At this moment, Lei Luo and Morton appeared in a church.

The church was managed by an organization called the "Salvation Society."

The president of the Salvation Society was a member of the church.

He used to be a powerful independent lord, but later, he felt that he had killed too many people, so he joined the church.

Gradually, people no longer remembered his birth name but knew that he was called Priest Robert.

After Lei Luo and Morton came to the church, they said that they were willing to donate a huge amount of money to the church.

Therefore, when the two of them came, although they saw that the two people did not bring a follower.

They also did not have anything good on them, but the church still did not dare to neglect them.

The highest room, good water, and good tea were prepared and served for them.

In less than three minutes, Priest Robert personally came to greet them.

The three of them took their seats.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, without waiting for priest Robert to speak, Lei Luo said, "The two of us have always been very good at helping the world. We don't have much money in the world, but we are still willing to contribute a little more for the world-saving society."

Priest Robert nodded.

But there was not much of a smile on his face because his eyes were also very vicious.

When he saw Lei Luo and Morton's appearance, a plan arose in his mind.

The two people in front of him probably didn't just come to donate money.

"I wonder how much money you two want to donate to the association?"

"Our abilities are meager, so we can only donate a mere 20 million. Don't look down on us, president."

Hearing Lei Luo's words, Priest Robert finally revealed a smile.

"To an individual, 20 million silver coins is already extremely valuable. If there aren't many people in this world who have such a kind heart."

"President, you seem to have misunderstood my meaning. What we want to donate is not silver coins, but gold coins."

Lei Luo smiled faintly and corrected Priest Robert's mistake.

"What! Twenty million...gold coins?"

Priest Robert's face changed color on the spot.

His eyes were wide open.

This was a considerable amount of money. It was almost equivalent to a duke receiving a year's worth of taxes.

With so much money, how much could he do?

"I'm afraid that even the World Service Association won't be able to take this money so easily."

He was shocked by the figure and lost his composure.

He was, after all, someone who had once been a lord and he knew what it felt like to have such a large amount of money in his hands.

When he saw that Lei Luo was still smiling when he said this, he immediately regained his vigilance.

"It's not difficult to say, and it's not easy to say either. Everything is just a thought of the president."

As Lei Luo said this, he picked up the tea on the table, put it to his mouth, and pursed his lips. He lowered his eyebrows and only looked at the ground.

"If you have anything to say, you can speak freely. It's meaningless to deliberately make things mysterious."

Priest Robert stopped smiling and sat upright.

Morton saw that the atmosphere was almost over, so he immediately smiled and went to the side of priest Robert and said, "As far as we know, as a church, the World Service Association has ten free quotas for mercenary missions below F-rank every year."

"That's right. The senate gave us this privilege so that we can issue mercenary missions and arrest those bandits who attack our church. This privilege sounds nice, but even the highest F-class thieves only need to pay 30,000 gold coins to issue it. I wonder how this will help you two?"
