Chapter 4 Paid the art of lying

Yes!

Abbas really believed that John is the messenger of the true Lord!

He couldn't believe it.

First, he broke the porcelain.

And it was shining brightly in the dark night, and this kind of light was the dazzling light that Abbas had never seen before!

This was the power of a God, wasn't this?

This was not something an ordinary person could do!

Fortunately, John didn't know what Abbas was thinking, or he would laugh with his hands on his stomach.

Are you kidding me? Anyone whose eyes were lit towards will feel dazzling!

But anyway, John knew that Abbas had trusted him. He was very satisfied with this result.

He didn't have to die!

Part of the problem that John had been worried about has finally been solved.

What he needed to do now was to save his father.

John was thinking about how to make sense so that Abbas could help him save Baron Ducasse without exposing that he was a "liar".

However, before he could say anything, Abbas took the lead in asking, "Dear Lord Knight, since you are the messenger of the true Lord, why did you come to the new Rome?"

The new Rome was Constantinople's formal address.

To be honest, he didn't know how to answer the question for a while, but he was smart enough to stall for time and asked, "What do you think?"

To John's surprise.

Abbas really answered, "Did the true Lord send you here to disintegrate the Orthodox Church from the inside? To spread the great power of the true Lord?"

What?

You really know how to supplement the plot by your brain!

John was at a loss what to say. Now that Abbas said so, he immediately came up with a solution.

He turned off the flashlight, put his hands behind his back, stood in the darkness and said lightly, "You are smart."

Hearing the praise from the messenger of the true Lord, Abbas was overjoyed. He thought he was smart and asked, "what about Baron Ducasse? Does he know your identity?"

John deliberately snorted, "What do you think?"

Hearing this, Abbas was shocked and said quickly, "Baron Ducasse must know your identity, so he deliberately said those words when Constantine ascended the throne today, just to pretend to be very loyal and not to let Constantine be suspicious and expose your identity?"

WOW!

You are really good at associating.

I didn't expect that right away.

John thought that Abbas was really a talent. He had thought of everything I didn't expect for a while.

Before he could say anything.

Abbas then added, "I was very angry when I heard Baron Ducasse's speak in the imperial palace. Wouldn't it be a bad thing for you that I strongly demanded Constantine to kill Baron Ducasse?"

John wanted laugh so much that his stomach hurts, but he have to endure it. He said in a sharp tone, "do you already know that you've ruined my big plan?"

Plop!

Abbas was frightened. He knelt on both knees and stammered, "The believe...believer Abbas really...really doesn't know. Please... Please forgive me."

"Forgive? How?"

John pretended to be angry and said, "Do you know that if you do this, it's very likely that I can't hide in the Orthodox Church's place anymore and can't spread the great teachings of the true God?"

Abbas was too scared to answer.

John continued, "If the plan of the true Lord fails because of you, then you are the sinner. You should go to hell and suffer the bad results forever!"

There was a saying in Islam that the one who did good would go to heaven and enjoy forever; the one who did evil would be driven into hell and suffer forever.

It was nothing to say from others.

However, there was a big problem when these words came out from the mouth of the messenger of the true Lord.

It meant that the true Lord sentenced Abbas to hell!

What did that mean?

It means that you have offended your father in the past, and your father has known your identity, saying that he will shoot you when you are semen against the wall.

Abbas was so scared that his whole body was trembling!

After threatening a few words, John said in a softer tone, "but you are still a believer of the true Lord. I can't let you go to hell because of this."

"Yes, yes." Abbas hurriedly said, "I'm the most faithful believer of a true God. Everything is not the master, but the only one is Allah!"

John: "do you know what to do now?"

Not to mention that Abbas was really smart, but he used his smartness in the wrong place. He immediately said, "I'm going to see Constantine now and ask him to release Baron Ducasse."

That would be great!

John was so happy that he almost said that you should go quickly.

But he suddenly thought of something and stopped in a hurry.

If Abbas now demanded Constantine XI to release John's father, what would the people of whole Eastern Roman Empire think of the Ducasse family?

They must think Johns were spies of the Ottoman Empire!

Although on the surface, Constantine XI generations of people would not dare to be rude to the John family because of the Ottoman Empire's strength.

But what about in the dark?

Who would like to see the spies of the other Empire in front of him?

I'm afraid that Constantine XI will try every means to eradicate the John family in lifetimes.

For example, one night when there was a fire, the whole Baron family was burnt to death.

Or Barons family went out to hunt one day and was eaten by a beast.

The ruler would definitely do these things!

After careful consideration, John came up with an idea. "Of course, I will let Baron Ducasse go. He is the only force I have in the new Rome at present."

"Then I'm going to see Constantine now," Abbas said anxiously.

"Wait, listen to me." John stopped Abbas.

"What else can I do for you?" Abbas asked.

John said, "Do you think you can see Constantine in this way and let him release Baron Ducasse? Is there anyone in the whole Rome Empire who believes him? How can I expand my power and spread the teachings of the trueLord?"

Abbas chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Messenger. I've already had an idea. I won't let the emperor of Rome suspect Baron Ducasse."

John said curiously, "tell me about it."

Abbas said carefully, "I'll ask Constantine to release Baron Ducasse first, and then spread rumors that I did this for torturing Baron Ducasse better..."

Needless to say, it made sense!

John knew what Abbas meant.

What Abbas meant was to spread the rumor in order to make Constantine XI think that Baron Ducasse was a spy of the Ottoman Empire.

In this way, not only would his father not be doubted, but also would be released because of the Ottoman Empire's strength.

Then, Baron Ducasse would be regarded as a great loyalty by Constantine XI and the whole Eastern Roman Empire!

This method was really good.

John didn't expect that he could think of nothing. Abbas had thought of everything for him!

He didn't expect that Abbas would be so silly and cute.

But on the other hand, Abbas was not a fool to think of this idea.

The reason why he was like this was that John was so deceptive. He felt that if he continued to deceive him, it would be no problem for Abbas to be lame.
