Chapter 13 Moon 13
— build a church.
For the believers who are expanding, this will be a good place to consolidate their beliefs. Of course, it will also allow Hawthorne to expand and gather believers more conveniently through a rendezvous point, and carry out secret operations.
Although he doesn't have many believers now, there must be a process to build a tall building from the ground.
The last thing Hawthorne lacks is time.
Of course, this church must be kept secret, and all church operations must be carried out underground.
After all, what if this is discovered by the Gotham Police Department, or by those vigilantes who are particularly capable of fighting, or even worse, by Gotham's local snakes-the gang of flamboyant Arkham aborigines who are on the run Well, Hawthorne can't guarantee that his church and these guys' sanity points can coexist peacefully.
Therefore, at least until this church that believes in other gods is legal, he cannot preach in an open and aboveboard manner.
Building a church requires funds, faith, and of course a certain degree of cover-up, and Penguin is obviously a good choice now.
His feelings for her mother can hold him firmly, and as long as he still wants to see his mother in his dreams, he must maintain absolute faith and loyalty to the Eye of the Secret Star.
Of course, the main reason is that he is very rich and owns a lot of real estate, so he can just find a house to renovate, and then cover it with some kind of charity or relief society, and there will be no problem at all.
Of course Penguin's brains are good enough to be able to get into such a high gangster status in Gotham, and he quickly figured out the logic behind it.
Also relieved.
——Building a hidden church, what price can this be called, a problem that can be solved with a small amount of money, it is not a problem at all!
So he immediately agreed respectfully and wholeheartedly: "Yes, Mr. God Envoy."
Then he thought of another important question: "Mr. Angel, so about the management of the church..."
He thought of those people in Gotham who crazily believe in the Eye of the Secret Star. This is a force that should not be underestimated. If he can become a clergyman and even get management authority... then he might be able to use the name of God to pretend to be a tiger. After a while, there will be more benefits to be gained by then.
But he could think of it, could Hawthorne Dylan not think of it?
Ulea said: "He will send a pope to take charge of the work."
Pope?
Penguin was a little disappointed.
Of course, it is impossible for Hawthorne to manage his church by himself. After all, this thing only serves to provide him with a lot of faith, a logistics department.Of course, even if it is just a logistics department, it is impossible to give all the management rights to Penguin, even if his loyalty is beyond doubt.
Anyway, he still has a surplus in his vest library, so he just needs to find a suitable person to take care of it.
"Yes." The Penguin said respectfully. Seeing that the envoy seemed to have the intention of leaving, he quickly asked again: "Wait a minute, Mr. Envoy, I want to ask... In the future, can I cannot……"
Can I enter the dream again and see my mother?
Ulea could tell at a glance what he wanted to ask. He glanced at the sanity bar on Penguin's head that was slowly recovering, and said, "It's not a good thing for you to see your mother frequently."
This can be regarded as a tactful refusal, and Penguin's heart was chilled, and the great disappointment shrouded his heart like the damp rain of Gotham.
But Ulea's next sentence made him hope again——
"Once a week at most." He continued, "to prevent you from collapsing in a dream."
The disappointment in Oswald's eyes faded in an instant, and then the flames of ecstasy were ignited-once a week!If they can meet each other steadily, his mother will return to his side in another way!
You know, seeing family members once a week is much happier than many migrant workers who work outside the home!
"Also," Yuriah thought for a while, and said aloud, "Since you have become His believer, you have to make yourself worthy of this new identity, and don't cross the line, understand?"
Oswald froze for a moment, and then reacted.
This is knocking.
The meaning of the envoy was to let him stop doing some excessive violations of discipline, so as not to affect the church itself.
This is not a big problem for the Penguin who regained his mother-you know, if it wasn't because his mother was killed, he wouldn't have gone all the way to the dark in despair.
Moreover, with his current status and reputation in Gotham, even if he doesn't do some murder and arson, just keeping the gray area industry is enough for him to maintain his current power.
As for his relentless competitors... He has a true god as his backer, so he is afraid that he won't be able to kill them?
"Yes." He said respectfully, "I understand what you mean."
"Very good." Ulea nodded in satisfaction, the corners of his black clothes began to mist, and his voice gradually faded away, "We will meet again when necessary."
After speaking, he turned into a cloud of black mist.
The cold feeling faded instantly, and the flame in the fireplace started to burn again, which made Penguin feel some long-lost warmth.
He took a deep breath to calm his frantic heartbeat.
"...New student." With less than one-tenth of his sanity bar, he suddenly grinned and mumbled to himself, nervously repeating the raving he heard just now, "Now I know that I Reborn again..."
