Base vehicle No. 3, church-specific room, room No. 7.
Xia Yuan and Nuo Jin exchanged glances and looked at the empty chair in front of them. After they returned to the base car and took a short rest, they received the notification.
Bishop Gu Yun wants to see them.
As for what it was, the messenger did not say, but the two of them knew it well.
It must be about supporting Tianyang in the town.
Xia Yuan has no regrets about this matter. If it happens again, he will still do the same thing.
He believed in Tianyang's judgment. As a resident of Skyfort, he also did not want the expeditionary force to be exposed to danger for no reason.
As for Nuo Jin, she will not waver. Not to mention supporting Tian Yang, she is even willing to make sacrifices if necessary.
Of course, she didn't think that Lin Ke could do this.
In fact, she laughed at the self-righteous Silver Crown Knight in her heart more than once.
The man named Lin had no idea who he was facing.
That's a man who has an army of soldiers in the cracks!
However, Lin Ke was smart enough to finally choose to give in instead of insisting.
Otherwise, Nuo Jin couldn't help but want to see him being torn into pieces by Yama.
The bishop wanted to meet with them now just for this matter.
Xia Yuan was willing to accept any punishment calmly, while Nuo Jin didn't care, even if Gu Yun kicked her out of the church. Nuo Jin also believed that with her performance and her value, the master would definitely give her other compensation.
If the owner's compensation is... ... .
That's good!
The woman tried hard to restrain herself and not tremble with excitement. She tried to act normal, but her face was hot and her breathing was slightly rapid.
Footsteps were heard.
Several figures flashed in the corners of their eyes, and then Bishop Gu Yun sat down in front of them.
Nuo Jin had returned to normal, both outwardly and mentally, she was calm and composed. She and Xia Yuan bowed slightly at the same time to greet Gu Yun.
"Hello, Bishop."
Gu Yun's thin face was filled with a smile. The old man with a head full of silver frost was full of energy. He nodded slightly and said, "Hello, I have heard about the affairs of the two Holy Temples."
"Don't worry, I have no intention of pursuing responsibility. Because in this matter, your actions cannot be considered wrong."
When Lin Ke, who was in the corner, heard this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
Using a simple binary opposition, we can know that if Gu Yun said that Xia Yuan and the other person did nothing wrong, then he was saying that Lin Ke was wrong.
When this thought came to his mind, Lin Ke noticed a gaze passing by his face inadvertently.
He didn't need to look back to know that this was another Silver Crown Knight, his biggest competitor, named 'Tiger'.
Xia Yuan and Nuo Jin could hardly believe their ears. The Silver Crown Knight represented the church, and Lin Ke's will to a large extent represented the will of the church.
In their capacity as a church, they openly opposed Lin Ke, which was a counter-tune to the church.
After making such a disrespectful act, Gu Yun actually said that he would not pursue the responsibility. Is this like the sun rising from the west
Gu Yun sighed, "Lin Ke really didn't handle this matter well. Although you are from the Holy Temple, you are also residents of the Sky Fortress, so I can understand your opposition to Lin Ke's behavior emotionally."
"Therefore, let's just leave this matter alone. I asked you to come here specifically because I hope you can understand that the church is not targeting people but the matter. I also hope you can rest assured that the church will not leave you alone because of this matter."
Xia Yuan
He and Nuo Jin looked at each other and said at the same time: "Thank you, Bishop, for your tolerance."
Gu Yun nodded gently, smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, there's nothing else to do, you guys go down and rest."
"yes."
They both agreed at the same time and stood up to leave.
After the door closed, Gu Yun said calmly: "Call everyone over."
Lin Ke nodded, turned and left. A moment later, several other Silver Crown Knights also arrived.
Gu Yun looked at these knights, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Ke.
"I want you to remember this."
"The Sky Fortress is different from some of the second- and third-rate fortresses you know, although not long ago, it was just a small fortress located on the edge of the East Continent."
"But now, it has attracted the attention of the Golden Council. The Star Vein Land was recently discovered, and the Age of Stars may come because of it."
"I understand your pride and sense of honor. But I hope you can exercise restraint and hold back."
"The rise of the Skyfort has already taken shape. Unless something special happens, it will not be affected by anyone or anything."
"If we don't mend our relationship with them now, perhaps in a few years, our influence in the Gulf region will be greatly weakened."
"By that time, the Goddess of Glory will definitely take the opportunity to move in. So you should take Lin Ke's incident as a warning."
Brush brush brush—
Several gazes immediately fell on Lin Ke. Although they quickly moved away, this short period of time made Lin Ke very uncomfortable.
He couldn't help but ask, "My Lord Bishop, if we care so much about the Sky Fortress, how can we proceed with this matter?"
"Lin Ke!"
Gu Yun's full head of silver hair seemed to stand on end. The old man was dignified without being angry. He said in a low voice: "Walls have ears, please be careful!"
Lin Ke's face changed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Gu Yun seemed to be answering Lin Ke, but also seemed to be speaking to himself: "If that matter is confirmed, then we naturally don't have to care about the reaction of the Sky Fortress."
"But before that, we need to exercise restraint and patience and not make things more complicated."
After a pause, the old man looked at the knights and said, "Is everything clear?"
"Clear."
The knights answered in unison.
Gu Yun nodded, stood up and left the room.
After he left, the heavy atmosphere in the room eased.
The Silver Crown Knights looked at the empty chairs and left one after another. One of them was not particularly tall, but very strong. He was wearing a black holy robe, which was loose and looked like it would be torn apart at any time.
He took off his hood, revealing a square face with short gray hair, many scars on his face, thick lips and deep eyes.
He looked at Lin Ke: "If it were me, I would beat that guy first. You actually let the bishop worry so much about such a small matter, Lin Ke, you are incompetent."
Lin Ke immediately raised his head and looked at the other person.
This person is 'Hu Zuo', who is competing with Lin Ke for the position of Silver Crown Knight, a level 7 sublimation medium.
Lin Ke said nothing, just looked at the other person deeply and left the room.
Hu Zuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, put on his hood again, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
... ... .
Drifting town, underground palace.
It was still dark here, with only a faint light from the sky occasionally flashing through the cracks in the upper level, passing by like a meteor and then disappearing without a trace.
In the dim underground palace, demons were climbing along the cliffs. They drilled out from the cracks on the upper level and tried to leave the town, but they were always bounced back by an invisible force.
Day after day, year after year.
Only those high-level Yamas know that this is a futile effort, but those in the middle and low classes are confused and, driven by instinct, repeat this thing every day.
Sudden.
On the underground palace square, a silver light lit up and outlined quickly.
A pair of silver wings took shape in the blink of an eye. The silver wings spread out, and underneath them, an illusory, majestic arch appeared.
The door opened, someone walked in, and many Yamas rushed towards the door connecting to the outside world.
Suddenly.
A black fire crown appeared in the man's eyes. Feeling the irresistible will, Yama reluctantly retreated and could only watch the passage connecting to the outside world being closed.
Sunny day.
He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, looked around, and whispered, "Where did Youhua go?"
In the distant palace, a cold firelight lit up, and then the hoarse and unpleasant voice of the King of Yama was heard, echoing through the palace.
"What are you doing here?"
"Is there another enemy that needs me to fight?"
Tianyang did not answer. He locked the direction, his figure flashed, and in a few breaths, he arrived at the palace.
The palace that collapsed in the past has basically been rebuilt. Youhua built himself a tall and magnificent throne. The King of Yama sat high on the throne, one hand on the armrest, and a purple light like ice chips lit up in his mask.
A gaze fell on Tianyang.
Tian Yang looked at him calmly and asked, "Is your injury healed?"
"hurt?"
Youhua sneered in his visor: "How can a mere rat in the cracks of the surface have the qualifications to hurt me? If your strength is not too weak, it is not enough to support my level and strength in the outside world."
"I can easily kill a guy like that with just one hand. My suggestion is that if you need my help next time, you should just lure your opponent here."
"Here I can go all out and you don't have to pay a 'fee', so things are much simpler."
Tianyang didn't know if Youhua was exaggerating, and he didn't care. He shook the bottle in his hand and said, "Want to drink?"
A blurry colorful light surged from Youhua's coral-like magic horn, and the King of Yama said in a low voice: "You came to me to drink?"
"To be precise, I'm inviting you to drink. Do you want to try this drink from the outside world?"
Tianyang threw the bottle directly over.
Youhua caught it, but uttered two words from his visor: "Boring."
Tianyang shrugged his shoulders and asked curiously: "Youhua, do you still remember when you were a human?"
The King of Yama snorted, as if dissatisfied: "Why are you asking about this!"
"Just chat." Tianyang found a chair and sat down.
Youhua turned his head and looked away: "I have forgotten about that kind of thing a long time ago, and I have no obligation to tell you."
"Really? I thought you would be bored after staying here for so long and would want to talk to someone. It seems I was overthinking."
Tianyang stretched and said, "Forget it, I'm leaving. I'll come see you next time."
Youhua stood up suddenly and said, "I don't want to see you!"
Tianyang ignored him and just opened the door and left.
Watching the door close, Youhua slowly sat back down. The purple light in the mask drooped slightly.
Stay on the bottle of wine in your hand.
