"Do you believe in the Lord of War? As long as you fight bravely, when your life comes to an end, you will be led by the Lord to His Kingdom of God. You will fight happily in His Arena. You will have an immortal body and can enjoy wine and fighting forever."
A man in black priest clothes with a weathered face kept pulling the ragged people passing by. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they had empty eyes, slow movements, and thin bodies.
After being grabbed by the priest, they listened to his sermon in a daze, then took away the priest's hand, walked out of the settlement, and began a day of hard survival.
This is a small settlement in the wilderness, but there is still a small Church of the Lord of War.
There were only two or three priests in the church. They took turns preaching in the settlement every day, and sometimes went to the wilderness to look for believers. Due to the influence of the Church of the Lord of War, even in the wilderness, the lives of the priests could be guaranteed unless they encountered evil spirits.
The church distributes daily necessities for free every month. At this time, the church is almost packed with people, but it is very spacious at other times. The people in the settlement are very pragmatic. Only on the day when daily necessities are distributed will they go to the church and become believers for a day.
Even so, a few priests were still unwilling to give up and remained in this barren land, working hard and stubbornly to preach. However, even after a year, there were only a few believers.
at this time.
In the simple church of the settlement, Yin Meng stood by the window, looking at the priest outside with a weathered face. He took the trouble to stop passers-by and talked excitedly about the many benefits of the church.
"The situation here is really terrible." Inside the church, Ye Xiao sat on a bench. Not only was the paint peeling off in many places, the chair was also a bit damaged. It would wobble at the slightest movement, as if it would fall apart at any time.
The wooden floor looked like it had been repaired many times, the color was mottled, and nail marks could be seen everywhere.
The pulpit was wiped clean, and on the wall behind it hung the statue of the Lord of War. They were the only relatively clean things in the church.
Yin Meng turned around and glanced at her companion, feeling a strong sense of distrust in her heart.
That day in the Reverse Realm, after she left the hall, she met up with the rest of the exploration team in the small town and then left the Reverse Realm.
To her surprise, Ye Xiao came back earlier than her, and not only was he unharmed, but even his weapons were not confiscated.
However, when Yin Meng asked him how he escaped, Ye Xiao hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. He then asked her how she survived. It was obvious that he knew something.
Yin Meng suspected that Ye Xiao had already surrendered to Tian Yang, otherwise, how could the silver-haired man let Ye Xiao leave the Reverse Realm intact? They must have reached some kind of agreement.
Perhaps, Ye Xiao was the chess piece he placed beside him to monitor him.
After checking the time, Yin Meng walked to the pulpit and opened a suitcase on the platform. The suitcase contained a real-time communication device with functions such as efficient and barrier-free signal transmission.
Instruments like this are generally used on the battlefield to receive commands in a timely manner.
Only an organization like the Church of the Lord of War would equip the Silver Knights with this kind of communication equipment.
Because Bishop Guan Feng was invited to the main hospital as a "guest" and was receiving all kinds of attention, it was impossible to contact him at any time.
We can only wait for the bishop to arrange time and contact us proactively.
Yin Meng and Guan Feng had already had a brief communication. In the last communication, they agreed on the time for the next communication.
Today, at this moment, is the agreed moment.
At exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the screen of the communication device lit up, and a moment later, Guan Feng appeared on the screen.
The old man looked at Yin Meng and the others solemnly and said, "You have 10 minutes."
Yin Meng nodded and began to narrate what happened after they left Blue Mountain Port, from tracking down the clues left by Tian Yang to their pursuit into the reverse world of Scavenger City.
"We encountered a dangerous group of black people in the underground area of that town. Chen Yan died on the spot. And at that time, the target took the opportunity to attack us, but Ye Xiao and I noticed it. In the subsequent battle, the target was severely damaged by us."
"But when we were about to bring the target back, he... he was attacked by that dangerous black creature and fell into the abyss."
After saying that, Yin Meng glanced at Ye Xiao, worried that he would do something bad. But Ye Xiao said nothing, just stood there quietly.
Guan Feng was calmer than Yin Meng had expected. The old man was silent for a moment before he said, "So, after you lost three people, you didn't bring back the target?"
Yin Meng nodded: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Bishop, the situation at that time did not allow us to explore the abyss, so we had no choice but to return."
Guan Feng did not respond, but looked at Ye Xiao: "Did you see with your own eyes that the target fell into the abyss?"
Ye Xiao nodded seriously: "Yes, sir, I saw the target fall into the abyss with my own eyes."
Guan Feng glanced at them and said, "Okay, I understand. You guys come to the War God Castle. I will report this matter to the Archbishop in person."
Communication ended.
Yin Menghe got on the suitcase and glanced at Ye Xiao: "Let's go."
A moment later, they each drove a magnetic vehicle, left the settlement, and headed towards the War God's Castle.
Also at this breakfast, Tianyang was sitting on a magnetic energy vehicle. This magnetic energy vehicle had been modified with a higher chassis and strong power, and could travel on most terrains.
It also uses special reinforced materials that can withstand the attacks of star element beams, and is equipped with two hidden weapon platforms with a certain amount of firepower.
Such a magnetic energy car is very expensive and is also a symbol of status.
Only members of parliament can enjoy a car of this specification. At this moment, the car is heading towards the eastern district of Scavenger City, which is the important place of Thunder Council. At the same time, every member of parliament enjoys a manor there.
When the magnetic vehicle passed three security checks and entered through the double armored doors, Tianyang saw an area that looked like a small town through the window.
This place and the Scavenger City seem to be two different worlds. Starting from the entrance, there is a straight road extending forward, passing by one house after another. These terraced houses have a small lawn in front of them.
Green is almost the rarest color in the scavenger city, but here, there are not only lawns, but also flower beds and trees.
Obviously, the Thunder Council has put a lot of effort into transforming the environment here. Although the sun above is still scorching, this area makes Tianyang feel like he has returned to the East Continent.
"These are the homes of the leaders of each mercenary group in the parliament, as well as all the staff members of the headquarters." Sitting next to Tianyang, the petite Huaying introduced them to Tianyang.
There is also an independent medical center in the area, but it is only open to parliamentarians. Others who need treatment have to go to the hospital in the scavenger city.
After passing a square, the magnetic car drove towards a quiet path. Here were manors where the parliamentarians lived.
A moment later, the magnetic energy car drove into a manor. After entering the gate, Tianyang saw that there was a large lawn on each side of the gate, and the maintenance system on it was automatically watering the lawn.
Further ahead is a small square with a small fountain in it and a few small fish, which makes the square look lively.
In front of the fountain is a three-story villa. According to Huaying's introduction, Tianyang knows that the villa has more than twenty rooms, an open-air balcony, and a sky garden.
The villa is equipped with a five-man guard team. They are the guards of the manor and are responsible for daily patrols and inspections to eliminate safety hazards.
There were also eight servants, two cooks and a butler.
Well, the housekeeper of Tianyang Manor is Huaying next to you.
Next, Tianyang met with the guards, servants, and chefs, and then Huaying took him to visit the villa. The villa had many rooms, a spacious living room, a quiet dining room, and a kitchen run by a chef and assistants.
There are three bathrooms, one of which is almost the size of a room, with a bathtub that can accommodate three or four people, and the other two bathrooms are equipped with bathtubs.
In addition, there is an equipment room in the villa, which is used to store personal equipment. There is also an underground shooting room, which can be used for firearms training. Of course, the shooting room is spacious enough, and even if it is not used for shooting, it can be used for combat training.
Huaying held an electronic board and said to Tianyang as he toured the underground shooting room: "If you need, you can add another ammunition room. It only requires a simple modification project."
Tianyang smiled and replied: "I don't think I need it."
All his important items were stored in the collection room in the Drifting Town. The safety factor there was much higher than here, and Tianyang did not use guns as his main weapon, so there was no need for them at all.
Next, they visited other parts of the estate. In addition to the villa, the estate also had a parking lot, a well-kept garden, a cellar for storing fine wine, and dormitories for guards.
When they walked around and returned to the villa, they found several magnetic vehicles parked in front of the main building. Servants were unloading various items from the vehicles and moving them into the villa.
The person in charge of supervising this work turned out to be Ding Yiming, whom he had met yesterday. Tianyang walked over and spread his hands and said, "Councilman Ding, what are these?"
"Good morning, Mr. Tianyang. How is this manor? Are you satisfied with it?" Ding Yiming laughed. "These are daily necessities, including a batch of frozen food, ten boxes of fine wine of various flavors, and some clothes for you and that lady."
"Don't worry, these are all free and provided by the council. But if you need them in the future, you will have to buy them yourself."
The corner of Tianyang's mouth twitched. After going around in circles, even though he didn't know how much the daily expenses of this manor would be, he knew it wouldn't be that little.
However, he was not too worried about the expenses. Not to mention the Heaven Rank experts, even if they were Rank 6, they would be popular figures no matter where they were.
Such a person no longer has to worry about money.
