Angulo paced back and forth in his study room restlessly. Borlando was annoyed watching from the side. He said, "Don't be too nervous, Lord City Lord. There will be a result soon."
Angulo put one hand on the cabinet by the wall, took out a pair of wine glasses, and poured rainbow fruit wine into the glasses. However, although he had the strength of a high-level warrior, he could not control the trembling of his hands, and the wine spilled out when he was distracted. He handed a glass of rainbow fruit wine to Borlando and took a sip himself. However, he choked after drinking so much rainbow fruit wine in his life that he coughed for a long time before he could catch his breath.
Borlando cast a high-level calming spell, and Angulo nodded in thanks: "It's good to have this spell. I feel much better now. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have been able to perform in front of Millianna. Sorry for the joke."
Borlando said: "I also have this magic now. Although I am more confident than you, I still feel very nervous."
Angulo chuckled and said, "It seems I'm not the only one who's worried."
"It would be a lie to say that I'm not worried. After all, they are the saints of the City of God. In the education of the Temple of Nature, they are the undefeated gods of war... Although I later learned some of the truth of the past and knew that they had no advantage over the Seven Towers Mages, I have to say that the fear still remained... After all, fear is the easiest way to discipline. Milliana and the others used our fear to force us to this position." Borlando took the wine and gently turned it in his hands. The liquid in the wine glass reflected a variety of colors in the sunlight and reflected on the wall of the study. "But those people from the Tower of China are different... They didn't actually force us, they just talked about reason and put the choice in front of us. The strange thing is that when I ask myself, I prefer to follow the Tower of China. Although they will make up some possible bad results to scare me, they will not threaten me with death, rob me of all my wealth, or hang me at any time.
In the villa I gave to Miliana, the people from the Chinese Tower had already set up a magic circle for the whole house. I am a priest of the temple. Although I cannot be compared with those saints, I can still be considered an expert. However, I can hardly understand the magic circle. I just vaguely feel that it contains amazing energy. It can be seen how amazing it is. Aguerto has been dominating around for a long time and has lost his vigilance. I saw that he was very relaxed when he entered the house.
He didn’t stand a chance.”
"I hope so." Angulo drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said, "I have no way out now. Millianna is still imprisoned in my dungeon. But... this is just a battle. Even if Lorenzo and the others succeed, there are still many saints in the City of God, right?"
Borlando took a sip of wine and said, "I don't know how this war will turn out or how it will end. I only have a few words to comfort myself. Do you want to hear them?"
"Of course, good comfort has the same effect as good wine." Angulo filled his glass with another glass of wine.
"No one knew what the saints of the City of God were like before, but now you and I have seen it clearly. I would compare them with the Golden Branch priests. No matter which sect the Golden Branch priests belonged to in the past, they all knew their own path and were principled in doing things. There was only a difference in their paths, not in their personalities. But what are these people in the City of God like? It's not an exaggeration to say that they kill innocent people indiscriminately and are insatiable, right?"
"Yeah, otherwise why would you and I be here now?"
"You are a businessman. Do you think people who meet the above characteristics can expand their business?"
"Maybe in the short term, but in the long term..." Angulo shook his head firmly.
"That's the truth. Although there is a huge gap in strength between these Saints from the Divine City, the Chinese are not without a chance."
Angulo filled Borlando's glass and clinked it with him, saying, "I hope so."
The two men waited anxiously for a while, and then the family's trusted servant came to report: "Sir, the guests you are waiting for have arrived."
"Please come up quickly."
A moment later, Lorenzo and his party appeared in the study. Most of them looked tired. Although no one was injured, several of them looked pale, which was a reaction to excessive use of mental power.
Seeing the expectant eyes of Borlando and Angulo, Lorenzo said, "It's solved. Aguerto is dead. He fell into the trap array we prepared in advance and was quickly sealed in an ice house. Although he struggled for a while, in the end his body was frozen into ice by the array and his soul was burned clean. He can never be resurrected from the city of gods. In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for Antilion and the people in the surrounding villages and towns."
Borlando and the other two felt relieved. Borlando said, "Then the only opponent left is Polidaro."
"That's right." Lorenzo said to Angulo, "I want to use your home as a battlefield this time. Because Polidaro was considering forcing you to hand over your family property, it is reasonable for you to ask him to come to your house for a detailed discussion. In this way, as long as we set a trap in your house in advance, we can put him in the same situation as Agurto."
"Of course, no problem." Angulo said, "I will do my best to provide any resources you need."
Lorenzo hesitated for a moment and said, "Polidaro is a natural mage who specializes in plant magic. There is no better way to deal with the summoned plants than fire. I need a large amount of fire magic crystals and space magic crystals."
"This shouldn't be a big problem. Although Sulugaya's strength is only in the middle among the city-states, it is a city with a thousand-year history after all. Our accumulation should be enough for you to set up the formation." Angulo said.
Lorenzo said, "But the fire array is different from the ice array. Most of the things in this house, if frozen, can be restored by melting. But if burned by fire, they will probably be destroyed immediately. If the battle is fierce, even the whole house may be burned. You have to be prepared for this."
"Isn't it just a house? If I fall into Polidaro's hands, I will definitely lose much more than just a house." Angulo said sincerely: "And the main structure of my house is built of stone. No matter how much it burns, the frame will always be there. Please fight him with all your strength!" (To be continued)
