"Holy Silver Knight."
"Holy Silver Knight..."
Joseph stood up and sat down again. The wrinkles on the old man's face were almost twisted into one. After a moment, they quietly relaxed.
"It just happened to be this time. If I had come a little later, then..."
He sighed and handed the electronic board back to the black priest: "Go and inform His Excellency Murray the Fireless that the operation has been canceled."
"Yes." The black-robed priest took the electronic board and left in a hurry.
Joseph said to another priest, "Go and inform Elhoin that our church will no longer be involved in the matter between him and the young congressman. Let them handle it on their own. Also, return the things that old Jones sent to me intact."
The priest's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't ask any questions, just nodded and left.
Finally, Joseph was the only one left in the small courtyard.
The old man closed his eyes and sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
"It turns out that young man is the Holy Silver Knight of the East Court. No wonder Guan Feng gave him the command of two Silver Knights..."
"No, at that time, he should not have been a Holy Silver Knight. Otherwise, we would not have received the files from the East Court only now."
"I don't know where Guan Feng got the slave trade information from. The Holy See is also in a dilemma now. They will probably agree to the old man's request and let him be the Archbishop of the East Court."
"Otherwise, if that information is delivered to the Golden Court, the headquarters will have to undergo a major personnel change."
"Where did Guan Feng get that information? The Holy See said that it was the trading material between us and Blood City..."
"Blood City is an organization of Waste Collection City... The new Holy Silver Knight is from Waste Collection City... Blood City's Qiong Wu mysteriously disappeared. Now Blood City has become the subordinate of that councillor and is responsible for the protection of Settlement No. 12 and the nearby mines..."
Joseph suddenly opened his eyes and said, “That’s it, that’s it.”
"What a powerful trick! Qiong Wu must have died at the hands of that councillor, so he was able to obtain that material and then 'sold' it to Guan Feng, so he became the Holy Silver Knight of the East Court today."
"Only in this way can it be explained why we have not received the files from the East Court until now."
"This congressman has great ambitions."
"What a pity! If I had received the file later, I could have said it was due to the delay in the message and let Mr. Murray take this boy's life."
"But now that we have received it, if you let Mr. Murray kill people again, I am afraid that the East Court will rebel."
“What a pity…”
... ... ..
Elkhoyne Manor.
This afternoon, the entire manor was as quiet as late at night. No one dared to talk loudly, and even those who spoke deliberately lowered their voices for fear of disturbing the people in the study of the villa.
Old Jones had forgotten how many cigarettes he had smoked. His eyes were always on the communicator not far away. If Wang Lingjun successfully completed the task, or if the young congressman eventually died at the hands of the church's Fireless Man, the communicator would ring.
Otherwise, it will remain silent.
And until now, it has not sounded, which made old Jones' heart hang in the air and unable to calm down for a long time.
His sons also seemed to be worried. No wonder they were nervous. After all, this afternoon would determine the fate of the Elhoin family.
No one can easily get through the ups and downs, honor and disgrace that followed.
Suddenly, the communicator rang.
Swish, swish, swish!
All eyes fell on the communicator, and a smile appeared on old Jones' face. He exchanged glances with his sons, immediately took the communicator and established communication.
Soon, a strange voice came from the communicator: "Mr. Jones?"
Old Jones was stunned for a moment, then said, "I am."
The other side coughed dryly and said, "I am Reverend Amanda, a follower of Bishop Joseph."
Old Jones' heart skipped a beat, and his intuition told him that any news coming from the church at this time must not be good news.
He said in a deep voice: "Good afternoon, Reverend Amanda, what's up?"
"Yes." The priest on the other end of the communication machine said without any emotion, "Bishop Joseph asked me to inform you that from this moment on, our church will no longer be involved in the incident between you, Elhoin, and the councilman from Scavenger City."
"We have already sent someone to notify Mr. Murray to return. In addition, we will return the things you sent soon."
"What!"
Old Jones couldn't sit still any longer, so he jumped up and shouted, "Why is this happening?"
Priest Amanda said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't know the details."
Old Jon roared, "I want to talk to Bishop Joseph, give him the communicator!"
"I'm sorry again, but it's not convenient for the Bishop to see you right now. That's all, goodbye."
Communications cut off.
There was deathly silence in the study.
Then old Jones roared: "That old fox actually withdrew at this time. What on earth does he want to do? Does he know that this will kill us?"
really.
If the church had not been willing to take responsibility and send out the Fireless One to put an end to the situation, even if Old Jones had recruited Wang Lingjun, who was a rank 7, he would have thought carefully before taking action against Tianyang.
But now, the church actually chose to withdraw in the middle of the action. If Wang Lingjun can no longer control the situation, Elhoin will collapse completely!
Han En panted and said, "I'm going to the church right now. They must give us a reasonable explanation!"
The big man ran towards the gate angrily, but at this moment, his father's voice sounded from behind.
"No."
Old Jones sat down, and he seemed to have aged a lot. He closed his eyes and sighed, "Joseph will not see you. You won't be able to see him even if you go."
"It seems that something must have happened within the church. Could it be that the congressman has connections with the church?"
The old man shook his head: "It's meaningless to pursue these things now. We must prepare for the worst."
"You guys go get ready right away. We'll leave first and go to the Baishi camp. If Wang Lingjun succeeds, that would be the best. If he fails, we have the Baishi camp as a buffer so we don't have to face the congressman's wrath right away."
"Next, I'll see if I can ask the church to mediate. At worst, I can give that congressman some property! As long as we can get through this, is there any doubt that we, Elhoin, can't rise again?"
Listening to his father's words, Victor and the other two all looked gloomy. In fact, they all knew that if this matter succeeded, it would be fine. If it failed, even if there was the White Stone Camp as a buffer, losing three "Dragon Fang" formations would make the White Stone Camp like an old man with his teeth plucked out.
Tiger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist that congressman.
But there was no better way now, they could only do as their father said. The three brothers hurriedly left the study and prepared to go their separate ways.
Old Jones held his face with both hands and closed his eyes: "Now, I can only look to Wang Lingjun."
... ... .
Stone mushroom forest.
When Tianyang was about to kill Wang Lingjun, the black-haired man who appeared next to Qianhong was Murray the Fireless.
For those who came from the Ash Tribunal, the first thing they abandoned was principles, and all their actions were only for the ultimate goal.
The reason why Murray chose Qianhong was to eliminate the danger to Wang Lingjun so that he could join forces with him and kill all the people in the Stone Mushroom Forest.
Sure enough, he deliberately chose the time when Qianhong appeared in the other party's field of vision, and the young congressman immediately gave up on Wang Lingjun. Just as he had concluded after observing before, the young congressman attached great importance to his subordinates.
But to his surprise, he was unable to kill Qianhong, and the young congressman appeared faster than he expected. Now, facing Tianyang's sharp knife, Murray's hair stood up, his pale skin quickly turned red, his pupils shrank into a slit, and his vision also changed.
In his eyes, Tianyang's sword light was evenly distributed, without any difference in strength or flaws, and it was extremely explosive and destructive.
Murray no longer hesitated and suddenly let out a sharp scream. The shadow around him seemed to expand, making the surrounding space darker.
At this moment, Tianyang's sword light suddenly appeared with wisps of black aura, as if covered with cracks. The next moment, the sword light shattered, and the uncontrolled energy set off a storm all around.
In the storm, Murray slowly retreated, stepped into the shadows, and hid his figure.
When he came out again, he appeared behind Wang Lingjun and said calmly: "We have the same goal, why don't we join forces to fight?"
Wang Lingjun was overjoyed and said immediately, "That would be great!"
Murray said without any expression on his pale face: "I will deal with his men."
Wang Lingjun cursed inwardly, "I've already fought a battle, and I've suffered losses in all aspects. You should be the one to deal with that white-haired kid." But for the sake of face, he had to bite the bullet and said, "This is the best. I've long wanted to teach that arrogant kid a lesson myself!"
Then, he laughed loudly and vigorously: "Member Tianyang, I advise you to surrender quickly. You have no hope!"
Tianyang narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze always on the figure behind Wang Lingjun. He roughly guessed that the pale man might be from the church.
Moreover, since the opponent was able to escape unscathed from his attack, he must be a powerful Heavenly Rank warrior.
As a result, there are now two Heavenly Ranks on the field, and the situation is indeed unfavorable for him.
He glanced at Huo Yao. Although the corps commander was still standing, his aura was no longer as strong as before. In addition, he was injured by Wang Lingjun. Even if he could still take action, he would not be able to do much.
Adolf's condition was better, but still limited. The previous round of fierce attacks had exhausted him greatly, and he couldn't recover in a short while.
Seeing that Tian Yang was slow to respond, Wang Lingjun felt even more proud. He relaxed his anger from being beaten up by the other party and shouted, "Young man, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you drop your weapon and kneel down in surrender, I won't kill you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
