Two hours later, Chen Rui walked out of a certain hotel contentedly, throwing away the bead chain of flame soul stones.
"Wait a minute..." After walking a short distance, the man behind had already chased him out.
"What, Clark?" Chen Rui looked surprised, "You still want to come? Is there anything else good?"
"You fat man who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger!" The man yelled, "You've won all my uncle's possessions!"
"I had won three times and had to leave." Chen Rui looked innocent, "I didn't force you, you were jealous of losing, so you must continue, but in the end, you lost everything. You kept this suit, otherwise, you would have lost your underwear."
Indeed, except for the clothes and the red headband, all the tinkling bits and pieces on the man Clark were gone, and he cursed: "Who knew you were so ruthless, you won thirty games in a row!"
"Can't afford to lose?"
"Fatty man, who can't afford to lose! You're cruel!" Clarke gave Chen Rui a hard look, and said quietly: "This is the first time that Master Clark has lost so badly. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like that." Such an old antique, who actually has such a research on ancient magic cards that have almost been lost, much better than that old guy! I still have some use for the Flame Soul Stone, so I can’t give it to you, and the rest is my bad luck, and it’s all yours.”
"What I want is the Flame Soul Stone." Chen Rui shook his head, took out the rest of the pieces, and threw them to Clark, "Give these back to you."
Chen Rui had a good impression of this guy, at least the gambling was decent, and he didn't use his strength to rob him.
Clark caught those things by accident. There are quasi-legendary magical items such as the Gale Necklace and Thunder Ring in these "bits and pieces", and their value is by no means inferior to the flame soul stone beads. This cunning fat man doesn't seem to have much strength, but he is a master of ancient magic cards. I don't know if he is hiding his strength. At least, he should have the eyesight to identify treasures. Since Fatty was able to fall in love with the Flame Soul Stone, it was naturally impossible for him to return it so easily without being unable to identify the value of the rest.
Clark chuckled: "Fatty, you are quite interesting, but I plan to give this flame soul stone to a chick. To be honest, what do you use it for? If you are not in a hurry, return it to me first."
"A good friend of mine is in urgent need of fire-type crystals for his practice." Of course, Chen Rui would not tell the truth, "I have searched all over the city, but I can't find any fire-type crystals. I heard that they were overcome by a priest earlier. Master Ryder has bought it all."
"So you put your mind on my lord's Fire Soul Stone?" Clark suddenly realized, "It's all the fault of that damned Clyde, who wiped out all the fire crystals in the city in order to curry favor with the Archbishop!"
Chen Rui asked tentatively: "Fawning? What's going on?"
"You don't know? Archbishop Phil of the Royal Capital arrived in Mirror City yesterday for an inspection. Phil is a dual-element magic swordsman of the light and fire elements. He has stepped into the edge of the holy rank and majored in the fire element... Hehe, Clay De is nothing more than trying to please, but Phil has always been frugal and upright, not close to women, and Clyde's flattery will probably backfire."
Only then did Chen Rui understand why Clyde did this. After the selection of the Templar Knights, there will be major changes in the personnel of the churches in various places, so Clyde seized the opportunity to please his immediate superiors. The same was true for Mana and Sorendon. .
Chen Rui showed doubts: "This is not public news. How could a guy who cheats money by divination know so clearly?"
"Who says I'm a liar?" Clark patted his chest, "My uncle is an important member of the church!"
"It's up to you?" Chen Rui sized Clark up, and compared the portraits posted on the roadside looking for missing persons and wanted criminals.
"Fatty man, what kind of eyes do you have?" Clark followed Chen Rui's gaze and jumped up immediately.
"We seem to have met people from the church just now, why didn't those people salute you, an important member?"
"My uncle is a Knight of Light who belongs to the Holy Mountain of Light... Uh, a candidate for an alternate knight." Clark was a little bit lacking in confidence, "It's not long since I first came to Mirror City, so naturally those little characters don't know me."
Chen Rui is no stranger to the title of "Alternate Knight Candidate". With Clark's true strength, it is absolutely no problem to become a Paladin in the Holy Mountain. If you want to say something about the Bright Knight, Chen Rui really doesn't believe it. This guy is more like a A wandering hermit practitioner.
"Okay, Master Candidate for the Knight of Light, I'm leaving. Let me borrow the Flame Soul Stone for two days, and then I'll return it to you. If you're still setting up a stall in the square instead of being the master of the Palace of Light , maybe we can have a drink or two." Chen Rui ignored Clark, turned around and left.
"Fatty! If you dare to lie to me, even if you run away to the sky, I'll let you spit out the Flame Soul Stone! There's still money for the wine!" Clark didn't chase this time, seeing the bloated figure disappear from sight, he suddenly slapped his head , "I forgot to ask what the fat man's name is!"
Clark's personality is somewhat similar to a widow's guy, he's not bad, he's worth dating, but now, Chen Rui doesn't want to touch that Flaming Soul Stone anymore, the so-called "borrowing" is just a cover to cover up his actions That's all, the real target is on Phil and Clyde in the Temple of Light.
If Clyde wants to curry favor with Phil, he will definitely do what he likes and spare no effort to bribe him. If this vote is successful, then there will be no need to buy fire crystals after arriving in the Starlight Kingdom.
At night, the Temple of Light is very quiet, and the security is still tight. There are many Knights of Light patrolling back and forth. For Chen Rui, who has already stepped on during the day and has been in several Temples of Light before, it doesn’t take too much to sneak in. strength.
Due to the incident of the Black Death, churches everywhere are now in full battle. In addition to strengthening defenses on weekdays, the prayer halls are all closed at night, and various protective magic circles are opened. Anyone without permission is not allowed to enter, otherwise they will be regarded as heretics and severely punished.
The time for Shura's rebirth has not yet come, and the "high-purity" faith obtained in the holy mountain is enough to transform the faith crystallization, so Chen Rui does not need to steal the power of faith at present. It is a bit surprising that he did not find that in the guest room where the VIP lives. Archbishop Phil and Priest Clyde were not in his room either.
It is said that Phil is frugal and upright, and refused all banquet entertainment. Chen Rui has been lurking in the dark to observe and watch from the afternoon to nightfall, and did not find Clyde or Phil going out, but now they are both in the Temple of Light" Disappeared
Priest's meditation room, basement level.
This basement is very spacious and brightly lit, reflecting the figures of two men.
The man walking in the front was of middle age, tall and burly, with a pair of thick eyebrows, a square and serious appearance, and he was not arrogant. He was the Archbishop Phil of the Royal Capital of Loya. Followed by Pastor Clyde, the head of the Mirror City Church, was a thin man with an ordinary appearance, his eyes were a little small, and he narrowed them with a slight smile, looking harmless.
The Archbishop of Wangdu is the leader of the church in the entire kingdom. He is directly appointed and dismissed by the Holy Mountain. For Clyde, he is definitely the immediate boss. Although he is one of his confidants, he still dare not neglect him in the slightest. He said respectfully: "Fei My lord, there is a batch of fire crystals in here, which I seized from the suspects of the Black Death, and they are contaminated with some dark power. Due to my lack of power, I can’t purify them, so I specially present them to you, please go back to the capital. Finally, use the power of light to destroy these dark crystals."
Phil took the interspatial ring from Clyde, scanned his mental strength, his eyes lit up, and he nodded approvingly.
Clyde rejoiced inwardly, and said again: "By the way, I also captured two Black Death disciples this time, please interrogate them in detail, Your Excellency."
As he said that, Clydela opened the door on one side, and inside was a prison room with various instruments of torture hanging, and two "prisoners" were being shackled firmly to the wall. They were two little boys, only about ten years old, with delicate features, thin bodies, and naked bodies. Seeing Clyde's appearance, they trembled like wounded fawns.
A scorching light suddenly flashed across Phil's eyes: "That's them?"
Clyde bowed and said: "Yes, this is a confidential matter, my lord, I will take my leave first. Although these two black dead disciples are young, their beliefs have been polluted. After the interrogation, my lord, they must be eradicated and exonerated. future trouble."
"You did a good job," Phil nodded slowly, his brows becoming more solemn: "I remember your achievements. I am quite satisfied with your performance in Mirror City, and I will personally report it to the Holy Mountain."
Clyde was overjoyed, knowing that he was one step closer to the position of the King's Metropolitan Bishop, he quickly bowed deeply again, and retreated.
Hearing the sound of Clyde leaving the basement and closing the door, Phil's square and stern face instantly became ferocious under the jumping lights, his beast-like eyes and distorted smile made the first time he saw this The two teenagers of the archbishop felt a greater crisis, trembling and speechless.
This kind of panic became more and more intense as Phil took off his clothes one by one. Phil enjoyed the frightened eyes of the young man and showed an evil smile. A dignified mask.
The real reason why this archbishop is not close to women is not his cleanliness, but his own sexual orientation. He likes young children, and they are boys. He does not know how many innocent children he has secretly killed over the years.
Due to the secretive means, Phil is still the unfeminine, upright and honest archbishop in front of people, and no one knows about it except for a few cronies, and Clyde is one of them.
These two boys are by no means black dead, but Clyde's special arrangement.
Just when Phil took off all his clothes and approached the prey step by step with his ugly equipment, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart, and before he had time to react, a terrifying murderous aura enveloped him in an instant.
"Bang!" The light shook, and Phil's body was thrown out by a strong force, and he hit the wall fiercely. There was no serious problem, but the gemstone of a magic necklace around his neck was broken.
Phil was shocked. This guardian necklace has a strong defensive power. It was given by Patriarch Pusmir. In addition to increasing the attributes of spiritual power, it can also withstand the full blow of the holy powerhouse. Hit and shatter!
"Flash!"
Phil knew that he had encountered an invincible opponent, so he didn't care about putting on clothes, and his whole body emitted a dazzling glare, just trying to delay his escape. However, the feeling of danger was getting closer, and even the hairs stood on end. As soon as Phil gritted his teeth, the power of the fire element surged all over his body, and the entire prison was reflected in red, and he unleashed the strongest move: "Light Refining Blast! "
The red light suddenly disappeared, enough to extinguish the death flame of metal melting in the palm of one hand.
When Phil saw the hand clearly, he heard the sound of his neck being broken in the next second, his consciousness fell into darkness instantly, and his whole body collapsed like a dead dog.
Chen Rui's figure gradually became clear in the prison. He took off a few space rings on Phil's fingers, probed with his mental strength, and was slightly surprised. It seemed that the harvest of this trip was much greater than imagined.
He put the ring into the storage space, looked at the ugly naked corpse on the ground, and suddenly thought of the child molestation case of a certain church priest he had heard about in his previous life. He became even more angry, and stepped on the head of this sanctimonious archbishop " "Bang" burst open.
Soon, Chen Rui and the two rescued boys quietly escaped from the meditation room under the cover of night.
After avoiding the light knights patrolling along the way, he proceeded carefully all the way. However, when he was about to approach the square, Chen Rui stopped suddenly, put down the two boys, gave a few orders in a low voice, and walked forward slowly. walk slowly.
"Come out." Chen Rui said lightly.
The square that was originally only illuminated by the moonlight was instantly brightly lit, and a large number of light knights quickly appeared in front of them, but Chen Rui turned a blind eye to those people and only focused on the three of them.
The first one was actually an acquaintance, with a red turban, a slovenly appearance, and many fragments of men hanging on his body—the magic card divination man I met during the day: Clark!
The other woman was wearing dark silver full body armor, with a slender figure, purple hair and black eyes, and a beautiful appearance, holding a spear in her hand.
The third is a tall and strong man with darker skin, stretched muscles, and extremely sharp eyes. Below the right elbow is a bronze-colored metal giant arm, as if the arm has been magnified several times.
The strength of these three people is all devil emperor level, Clark and the woman are S, and the strong man is S+.
Chen Rui could tell that, unlike the pampered cardinals and others in the Holy Mountain, these three people were the type of fighters who had been tempered and experienced in many battles, and their real combat power might not be inferior to the glorious sword master Passari.
Clark took a few steps forward, sized up Chen Rui, and asked hesitantly, "Are you... a fat man?"
At this time, Chen Rui had changed into another appearance, but Clark recognized him unexpectedly. He could have denied or refused to answer, but after a little thought, he nodded.
"It's really you..." Clark's expression was a little strange, with a bit of regret and a bit of determination.
Chen Rui frowned: "This morning...is it a trap?"
At that time, it was Chen Rui who found Clark by himself, and after some magic card contests, he developed a friendship, but it turned out to be a well-designed trap
Clark shook his head: "No, I didn't receive an emergency summoning order at the time, I just guessed that you would go to the church to get the fire spar, and I didn't want to stop you. Until I received the summoning order in the afternoon and saw the image of the enemy Only then did I realize that the fat man I met this morning was actually the Black Death who sneaked into the holy mountain and almost destroyed the holy tree!"
"I'm not a black dead disciple," Chen Rui smiled lightly: "I just realized that you are really from the Holy Mountain, your Excellency, candidate for the Knight of Light?"
"Actually, I'm from the Holy Mountain..." Clare's eyes gradually became sharper, like a sharp knife out of its sheath: "Saint."
