Chapter 47 Noble Disputes

"Three ancient families and the Snow Sacrifice Church..." When Surman heard the words of Housekeeper Sean, his first reaction was that the ancient nobles attached great importance to this matter, and the second reaction was that the Snow Sacrifice Church also participated?

The Snow Sacrifice Church is the church of the Orthodox God with the most special status and the title of "absolute neutrality" among the five major churches in the cold land of the north.

The five major churches in the cold soil in the north are—

Snow Sacrifice Church, Hand of Glory (Current of War), Natural Shelter (Current of Hunting), Steam Church and Mercury Libra (Current of Silver Moon).

These five churches of the Lord God naturally correspond to the five gods—

The God of Winter, the Monarch of War, the Goddess of Hunting, the Lord of Steam and the Lord of Silver Moon, are five orthodox gods who are qualified to spread doctrines in the cold soil of the north, establish church branches, and form their pope institutions.

For example, the Snow Sacrifice Church in Gangdian City has a team of investigators who are directly under the diocese's priesthood, as well as civilians who assist them. With the handwriting of the priesthood, their power of action is equivalent to the ancient nobles' city guards (some places are called police departments), and they are qualified to conduct special investigations on ordinary people in their jurisdiction. If necessary, they may even be arrested briefly.

Generally speaking, the major churches don’t care about these chores and habitually throw them to the city guards. Not to mention, the Snow Sacrifice Church, which has the title of “absolute neutrality”, rarely interferes in secular affairs, and why did they participate? Surman’s heart was puzzled.

At this time, he followed Butler Sean into the central corridor of Hope Hall, a rest room specially reserved for them.

In the luxurious promenade with murals hanging on both sides, Butler Sean pushed open the door and looked up. There were soft leather sofas, easy chairs and large conference round tables in the room. Various snacks were placed on the table, which were special foods from the cold soil of the north, including fried dried fish, crispy milk pancakes, butter beer... Just looking at these foods makes people roll their throats and feel the heat they contain.

This dress was like an entertainment salon, a place that was completely for the aristocratic enjoyment. At this moment, the sofas were filled with people of all kinds, many of whom were wearing gorgeous aristocratic costumes, but there were a few exceptions, wearing snow-white bases, completely squeezing their own priestly robes.

Before Surman stepped in, he heard the controversy coming from the room-

"The auction is about to be held, but one of the most important collections is missing." The noble young man with short blue hair had a cold tone: "From this perspective, the Kano family must bear the responsibility. No, it should be said to be a serious dereliction of duty. I even doubt whether they are qualified to continue to hold this grand ceremony..."

"The three major families will hold grand ceremony once a year. This is the rule that was determined at the beginning of the establishment of Gangdian City." A noble girl with a not-so-looking appearance but with a bit of sharpness spoke out to refute the other party.

"Ha, the people of the Moslian family... aren't you keen on being bounty hunters? Why did you become a 'judge' job?"

"Colin Bielle, please be aware of your words, or I will report to the Bounty Guild, thinking you are insulting them."

"Scarcey...you! Very well, worthy of being the 'Light of Moslian'."

The two of them were full of heated controversy echoed in the hall, but when Housekeeper Sean brought people in, they immediately attracted their attention and made the quarrel slightly stagnant.

This voice......Surman felt familiar inexplicably. He looked at the female voice. The next moment, the familiar face came into view. It was another silver hunter in the Bounty Guild - Scarthy Nichols.

Scarcey....

Why is she here too? Surman was a little surprised, but when he saw Scarcey's aristocratic costume, he had a vague understanding. Wait a minute, if Scarcey was a member of the ancient family, then...but isn't her surname 'Nichols'?

Among the three ancient families, the surname "Nichols" is not available...

I understand, this is her pseudonym! Surman suddenly realized that, as he thought.

When Scarcey saw him, she immediately smiled and nodded:

"Good morning, Mr. Surman."

Following her gaze, others also looked at each other. At this time, the blue-haired young man sitting opposite him couldn't help but sneer: "The Kano family has also fallen, and he actually found another bounty hunter, Sean. It seems that as a trusted domestic servant, you are a little sorry for your surname."

"This is the eldest son of the Bieler family..."

Housekeeper Sean explained to Surman with a voice that only two people heard.

In an instant, he straightened his back and ignored the ridicule of Biller's eldest son, and said to everyone: "The Kano family needs to assume the responsibility for theft of auction items this time, but our top priority is to discuss countermeasures..."

"The Northern Auction is of great importance, since an important item of goods has been stolen."

"We have to eliminate the possibility and not allow a second time!"

Surman, who was listening to the speech next to him, based on his previous life experience, coupled with the atmosphere on the scene, and members of the three ancient nobles, even the Snow Sacrifice Church sent a group of people. Suddenly, he guessed the real reason-

It seems that the three ancient nobles are not harmonious, and they have conflicts of interest when it comes to the issue of "Northern Auction".

At least from the moment, the Kano family and the Moslian family seem to be on the same front.

On the contrary, the Bieler family is targeting both. It seems that he really wants to see the auction fail this year. In this way, the Bieler family may be able to earn some benefits. As for the entrance of the Snow Sacrifice Church,... Could it be that oil painting is too important that the Snow Sacrifice Church attaches great importance to it and sends people to come? This... the water is a bit deep, Surman sighed silently.

However, this matter is related to his mission, that serial mission.

As expected, this matter has already involved his task completion. If the problem of "thief" cannot be solved, even the Northern Auction will not be held normally at that time. In that case, Surman's completion will be greatly reduced and the second ring cannot be triggered.

That would be a big loss...

At this time, the words of Butler Sean were coming to an end. He introduced Surman to others. Unfortunately, their reaction was dull, and most people did not attach much importance to it, and even felt a little contemptuous.

This is a common problem among ancient nobles. In their opinion, even silver hunters are just a group of wild mud legs. Compared with those who receive training from aristocrats, the former is rude and barbaric, and lacks the combat wisdom they should have.

At this time, Butler Sean finally got to the point and announced that he would take everyone to the warehouse.
