Even though it was just a message, Tianyang's muscles tensed up, and he slowly relaxed after a while.
He didn't know what Dong Fang's message meant, but he sensed a kind of malice in the voice. This malice was barely perceptible, like a wisp of cold wind that entered the house on a cold night, or like the shadow of a poisonous snake that slithered through a tree hole. Gently, it stimulated Tianyang.
Tianyang snorted coldly, picked up the home communicator and replied to Dong Fang's message. He expressed his gratitude to Dong Fang in a light and energetic voice.
Finally, he added: "Thank you for your hard work last night, sir!"
This is the teenager’s counterattack!
He was not worried about Dong Fang's counterattack. Even if he was the mastermind behind the scenes, he could only bear it even if he was full of resentment when the fortress was now fully searching for the murderer. Secondly, Tianyang now had a dedicated communicator that allowed him to contact Feimei at any time. This was undoubtedly a "talisman" given to him by Yuan Shu.
If Dong Fang is really crazy enough to do something at this time, it will be more beneficial to Tianyang. General Feimei will then come forward and take him down once and for all.
Dong Fang’s message, coupled with his previous conversation with Yuan Shu, made Tianyang feel like a storm was about to come.
In the next two days, Tianyang returned to his original life track. He still went to the training ground every day to continue trying out the ability combinations of secret techniques. Through such practice, he continued to become familiar with his abilities and the output control of the star energy equivalent.
On the morning of the third day, he received a message from the church, saying that the church had a mission to give them these sanctuaries!
Tianyang arrived at the church at around nine in the morning, an hour earlier than the gathering time in the message. When he entered the church, there were already some believers doing morning prayers.
When they saw the temple emblem on Tianyang's chest, they all stepped back a little and lowered their posture to show respect.
This made Tianyang a little uncomfortable.
"You're here early, Lieutenant Tianyang." A figure came down from the pulpit. It was Pastor He. With a smile on his face, he greeted the believers warmly and came to Tianyang.
Tian Yang relaxed a little when he saw this 'acquaintance' and nodded, "It's a little early, but it's okay. I was just thinking of going to the library."
"Really?" Pastor He turned aside and said, "I just happen to have a book to return. How about we go together?"
"Okay, you go."
The two of them left the church and walked on the path inside the parish. Priest He raised his glasses and said, "To be honest, I actually thought of running away during the previous mission. On the contrary, Lieutenant Tianyang fought to the end despite his young age. Whenever I think of this, I feel that I am really unworthy of this position."
Tian Yang smiled faintly and said, "It is our human instinct to be afraid of things we don't know. Pastor He is just following his instinct. Don't be too sad. Besides, you probably haven't entered the adversity realm as many times as I have. I have more experience in the adversity realm."
"So you see, it's not surprising that I'm calmer than you."
Priest He painted the holy emblem of the Lord of War in front of him: "Thank you for your comfort, Lieutenant."
"nothing."
As they talked, the two came to the library. The church's library was very small, just one room. The narrow high window cast sunlight, and the dust danced quietly in the light.
The atmosphere here is quiet and solemn.
There was only one administrator, and when he saw Tianyang and the other person come in, he just nodded.
Pastor He took out a palm-sized book with a red hardcover and handed it to the administrator.
Member, and then took Tianyang into the room.
There were only three bookshelves here, and at the deepest end, there was a cabinet. Above it was a rectangular transparent cover, covering a classically shaped bookshelf.
There is only one book on the bookshelf.
"The Book of Secret Covenant"!
On its cover, there is a thin golden chain fastened tightly, which is very mysterious.
Walking among the bookshelves, Pastor He asked with a smile: "I wonder what type of books Lieutenant Tianyang is more interested in. Perhaps I can recommend a few to you."
If he was interested, then it would naturally be the Book of Secret Covenants... Tianyang held back and didn't say this. He was afraid that it would arouse suspicion if he wanted to read the Book of Secret Covenants shortly after becoming a Saint.
He said casually, "I am more interested in the history of Kraftmen and the world."
Pastor He looked at him with some surprise and said, "I thought the lieutenant would be more interested in the history of our church and related theological books."
That's probably because I'm not a true believer...
Tianyang spread his hands: "Of course I am also interested in church history and theology."
Pastor He did not dwell on this question. He had already walked to a bookshelf and took down two books from it. He raised his glasses and handed them to Tianyang: "Since you are interested in Kraftmen and world history, take a look at these two books."
Tianyang took over the two books, one was "The Autobiography of Krafft" and the other was "500 Years of World History".
"However, although people need to read books, they cannot believe everything they read. After all, books are written by people, and as long as they are human, they will bring their own emotions and understanding into the writing process."
"No book can be truly objective, like the copy of Clough's Autobiography in your hand."
"The legendary figure Clough lived a thousand years ago. Very few of his deeds can be verified, and the so-called autobiography was not written by Clough himself. Instead, it was written by later generations based on his remaining manuscripts, legends spread around the world, and their own understanding."
"Just take a look at it, don't take it too seriously."
Tian Yang nodded: "I remember it, thank you for your reminder, Pastor He."
Pastor He smiled and waved his hand.
"It's almost time, let's go to the war hall."
The War Hall is a smaller version of a church, but it is only open to church members when important matters are announced.
When Tianyang and Priest He arrived, several other temple members had already arrived, along with several other priests.
There are only a few rows of seats in the war hall, the statue of the Lord of War is as high as the dome, and various weapons are carved on the surrounding pillars. Walking into the hall makes people feel nervous.
Footsteps sounded, and the parish president Fu Junyi walked in from the gate. He smiled and said, "Good morning."
The churches and the clergy responded.
Fu Junyi came to the statue and gestured with both hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Everyone, you should have received the message. Just like what is conveyed inside, the church has a mission for you to perform."
"Three years ago, we sent an investigation team to the Reverse Realm. This team went to the mission site, but disappeared not long after. We completely cut off contact with them. Afterwards, we sent people to investigate, but found nothing."
"But just a month ago, a member of the investigation team came back.
From the information he brought back, we believe that there are still survivors in that team."
"So I need you to enter the Reverse Realm and carry out a rescue operation while investigating the cause of the disappearance of this team. The military force will consist of several members of the Holy Temple and a team of warriors. The investigation team will be led by Priest He Wenchi and three priests."
Tianyang looked at Priest He in surprise. No, he should be called Priest He now. He didn't expect that after returning from Beidou Base, he had been promoted to Priest.
The black-robed priest, whose full name was He Wenchi, smiled and nodded at Tianyang, then said to Fu Junyi, "Master, when do you want us to set off?"
"The sooner the better."
Fu Junyi said seriously, "Let's do it tomorrow. The relevant preparations have been completed. Priest He will explain the specific situation in detail to everyone on the way tomorrow."
"Also, Templars, you will receive the Templar Armaments issued by the Church later. I hope these equipments will be helpful in your mission. That's all I have to say."
Templar Arms
In other words, the church will distribute equipment to those who are assigned tasks. I wonder how good the church's equipment is, but it won't be worse than that of the Night Walkers, right
With this thought in mind, Tianyang stayed after Fu Junyi left.
After the rector left, the man named Wuhen became active again. He pulled He Wenchi and said, "Priest He, where are we going tomorrow? Can you tell us a little bit of information now?"
He Wenchi smiled but shook his head to refuse: "I'm sorry, as the Priest said, let's talk about the details of the mission tomorrow. Now I have some things to prepare, so excuse me."
When passing by Tianyang, Priest He nodded slightly and then left.
Wuhen spread his hands and came to Tianyang: "What do you think? I feel like the church is on guard against us."
The assassination of Zuo Mohan should be kept highly confidential, so the man from the storm didn’t know what happened to Tianyang in the past few days.
If he had known, he wouldn't have been as natural as he is now.
Tian Yang shook his head: "This is normal. After all, we have just become a holy temple. We need a period of observation to build trust. This is normal."
Wuhen laughed: "You are very quiet, but very open-minded. I think we can be good friends."
No, I don’t want to have anything to do with you guys at all... Tianyang smiled and didn’t respond to his question.
Wuhen left him and went to find the other two Saints, which made Tianyang feel relieved. He was not good at dealing with such overly enthusiastic guys.
Not long after, several church warriors came in carrying large boxes.
They are all mechanical code boxes, black in color, with the church's holy emblem on the lid.
Inside were the Templar Arms that the church had assigned to Tianyang and his men. Tianyang didn't even check, he just picked up the box and left.
In the war hall, Wuhen watched the boy leave and laughed dryly: "This Night Walker Lieutenant is probably used to being alone. He ran away as soon as he got the things and didn't want to stay with us for a while."
The female saint named Nuo Jin blinked and said, "It seems that you are very good at observing others. Then, what kind of person do you think I am?"
Wuhen smiled and said, "Ms. Nuo Jin? Then the only words that come to my mind are beautiful and lovely."
In addition, there are insidious and hypocritical... Wuhen did not say these two words.
