The eleventh knight Percival?
The chief of the New Rose City Police Department is actually a subordinate of the fourth prince Arthur?
Baron Bill and Sir Antoine, who are quite prestigious in the military, Sean Rickman, who is famous in the business world, plus the police chief who suddenly appeared in front of him...
The fourth prince Arthur's sphere of influence seems to have penetrated into every corner of Wexford County.
After learning this, Ma Wei was pleasantly surprised, but also a little worried.
You must know that Percival is the eleventh Knight of the Round Table, which means that above him, there are at least ten knights loyal to the fourth prince Arthur, excluding Percival, Baron Bill, Gentleman Sean, Gu Rihana and the dead Sir Antoine....
There are still five people hiding in the dark, whose identities are unknown.
And these Knights of the Round Table have basically included the top forces in Wexford County. If God hadn't come to disrupt the plan of the fourth prince Arthur, the fourth prince Arthur would have been able to do it even without the help of others. Something big happens!
Thinking of this, Ma Wei looked at the middle-aged man in police uniform and high boots in front of him, and asked with a smile: "You are putting on such a big show, I'm afraid you must have something important to do with me."
"The ostentation is just for outsiders to see."
Richard smiled slightly: "Two days ago, a senior inspector came all the way from Belfast. With a document issued by his superior, he took away half of the power in my hand. Fortunately, the police department is all my old subordinates. , even if the position of chief is given to him, he will not be able to truly control all the police."
"The investigation is just a pretense. I'm not here to investigate. Even though there were many doubts about the fire that occurred at No. 55 South Street half a month ago..."
He bowed to Ma Wei and said in a sincere tone: "Sir Antoine is my mentor and my best friend. His death makes me very sad. Here, I must solemnly express my gratitude to you."
"I was entrusted by His Highness the Fourth Prince and did what I should do." Ma Wei shook his head: "There is no need to say thank you."
Richard pondered: "I came today for a purpose other than just to express my gratitude to you."
"Speaking."
"Last night, a big event happened in Rosslare Port. A transcendent person appeared there and took control of the army. The occurrence of this incident made His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince... No, it should be said that all the Knights of the Round Table were aware of it. A question." Richard said: "Only by following the trend can we go further, so I want to join the Church of Truth, become a believer of the goddess of truth, Yunia, and...obtain her gifts."
"Become a believer?"
Ma Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have found a suitable candidate for this matter a long time ago."
"Oh?" Richard asked in surprise: "Who among the Knights of the Round Table do you want to become a believer?"
"He is not a Knight of the Round Table, just an ordinary knight attendant." Ma Wei said: "After the death of Sir Antoine, the position of the Knight of the Round Table became vacant, so I want to recommend a candidate to become the new Knight of the Round Table. .”
Knight's Squire...
Richard Jervis squinted his eyes, searched Mavey's interpersonal network, and thought of a person: "Is the candidate you mentioned, the attendant of Knight Steele, Cassim... Cecil?"
"That's right." Ma Wei admitted generously: "Qasim is loyal, brave, and kind. He not only possesses all the virtues of a knight, but is also familiar with the ideas preached by the church. Such an outstanding talent can only be a knight's attendant. It’s such a waste…”
"Qasim Cecil..."
Richard has obviously heard of this name. As the police chief, Mavey's personal network is nothing secret. Mrs. Cecil, who has been active in the church all year round, is one of the key targets of the investigation. Her only son... How could you not notice it?
"To be honest, Father Mavey, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince originally wanted Commander Podel Wellesley to inherit the title of Sir Antoine and become a Knight of the Round Table. However, due to the incident at Ross Lair Port, the matter has been put on hold for the time being. .As for Qasim, he is indeed excellent. If you recommend him to His Highness the Fourth Prince in person, I think His Highness the Fourth Prince will readily agree."
After a pause, Richard added: "But becoming a believer is not only an order from His Highness the Fourth Prince, but also my personal will."
This was a decision made by Richard Jervis after careful consideration. He personally collected Sir Antoine's body. When he saw the miserable death of his old friend, he was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
The person who killed Sir Antoine was no ordinary person, he...
Unable to avenge an old friend.
So after learning about the arrival of the gods, he immediately came up with the idea of joining the church.
After looking at him carefully for a long time, Ma Wei sighed softly: "Director Richard, I am sorry that I cannot agree to your request."
"Why?" Richard looked puzzled.
"Because what you are longing for is power, not truth." Ma Wei said seriously: "Power and strength are the most terrifying things in the world. They are devils. Many people cannot suppress their inner desires and fall, without making any choice in the short term. Giving gifts to believers can indeed greatly enhance the strength of the church, but in the long run, it will do all harm but no good."
"As the spokesperson of the goddess, I have the obligation and responsibility to guard the truth and only give power to those believers who sincerely pursue the truth. Only in this way can the truth not be tainted by selfish desires."
"When the Church of Truth develops and grows, there will always be people who are thirsty for power and receive the gift of the goddess." Richard said: "No matter how clean a room is, there will still be dust. This is inevitable. I work in the police community. Over the years, I know very well what my subordinates have done, but as long as they can maintain law and order and follow orders to arrest criminals, it is enough. The reason why people are human is because they cannot be as pure as gods. Human hearts are always complicated, right?"
“The human heart is complicated, but faith is not.”
Turning to look out the window, the sky was blue and impoverished. Mavey said softly: "Believing in something for the sake of strength and gaining strength because of faith are two completely different things. From the beginning, your starting point was wrong, Director Richard."
Richard was silent. He was not busy refuting Mawei's point of view, but began to examine his own heart and began to think about his original intention of becoming a policeman.
Why does he want to be a policeman?
Is it for a bright and promising future?
Is it for the power at your fingertips?
After putting aside his desire for revenge and the experience he had learned over the years in the police force, he suddenly recalled that sunny morning more than ten years ago, when he put on the police uniform for the first time, and he became Police motives...
It's far from that complicated, just because when I was a child, I saw Sheriff Antoine waving a stick and confronting the robbers. At that time...
There was a fire burning in his heart, and he wanted to rush forward to drive away the robbers. But as he became a policeman and climbed up the ranks step by step, his original intention gradually faded away.
There is no longer a fire burning in his heart, and when he sees the robber, he no longer wants to rush towards him. Instead, he immediately thinks about the gains and losses...
seem...
There was something simple that he had forgotten.
"Never forget the truth."
Seeing his lost look, Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "Truth is a beam of light. Wherever it appears, it will surely evoke the softest and simplest memories in people's hearts. People's hearts are always simple before they become complicated. .”
"The moment you saw Sir Antoine's body, why were you angry, and why did you decide to take revenge?"
"At that moment, was there a fire burning in your heart?"
"Please see clearly the burning nature of the flame. It is not anger, but the source of anger. It is your friendship with Sir Antoine... How can you not be angry when such a beautiful thing is destroyed by others? ?”
"This is the truth that only belongs to you. You have gained strength from the truth..."
Ma Wei patted the tearful Director Richard on the shoulder and said expressionlessly:
"I think you're ready to become a believer, Director Richard."
