"The name is not important." Mr. Yan said with a smile, his attitude was as gentle as if he saw the elders of his nephew, "just like this body, it will only confuse mediocre people, but it can't fool smart people."
Although he had already guessed that Mr. Ji might use the corpse of the Duke of St. Hilde to play "Borrowing the Dead", but when Colin really saw the "resurrected" Duke of St. Hilde with his own eyes, it confirmed his previous conjecture. At that time, I still couldn't help being frightened.
Even in this extraordinary world, such an "unscientific" thing is really unbelievable.
Is Arcane really so magical
Or is Mr. Ji too supernatural
"I didn't expect to meet you in Bailu Castle. It's a great honor." Colin greeted with a smile. Although he tried his best to keep calm, the smile on his face was inevitably a little stiff.
To be honest, the appearance of Mr. Ji was completely unexpected.
And what he hates the most are accidents.
This legendary figure who once single-handedly stirred up the situation in the Northern Territory twice is not an easy character to deal with.
Especially now, after taking over the body of a paladin, Colin really has no idea how terrifying his strength can be.
If such a person stands against himself...
Ke Lin would not naively think that Mr. Ji appeared in Bailu City, just passing by by chance.
Obviously, Mr. Ji also has a plan here!
I just don't know if it conflicts with my plan...
"Count Angelet, this should be our first official meeting." Mr. Xi looked at Colin with great interest, and his tone was rather sad.
"Yes. I have admired your name for a long time!" Ke Lin said respectfully, and at the same time kept guessing in his heart the purpose of Mr. Ji's coming to Bailu City this time.
"I've actually wanted to see you for a long time, Earl Angelet, among the rising stars that have emerged in the Glorious Empire in the past ten years, you are the most outstanding!" Mr. Xi looked at Colin with a smile, and there was no concealment of appreciation in his eyes.
"You flatter me."
"No, not at all. I even feel that I have always underestimated you."
Colin twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, always feeling that Mr. Xie's compliment was a bit awkward, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard Mr. Ji ask again:
"Count Angelet, you should be promoted to the sixth rank, right?"
Ke Lin could only nod honestly, and said, "Yes, I was promoted by luck just now."
"Such a young sixth-rank knight!" Mr. Xie sighed, "The most talented paladin predecessors of the San Theon family in my memory don't have such strength at your age."
"How can I compare with the predecessors of the paladins..."
"No!" Mr. Ji said seriously, "You are even stronger than them, at least they are your age, but no one can lead an army to break through Bailu City.
And with just 20,000 blood cavalry troops, you can turn the entire eastern region upside down!
Is this why you are so good? Or has the people in the East been living in peace for so long, and the army has become so unbearable? "
The bad premonition in Ke Lin's heart became stronger, his brain turned rapidly, thinking about the real purpose of Mr. Ji, and at the same time coped with it:
"Where, I just won a few battles by luck..."
Mr. Ji smiled slightly, and finally stopped praising Colin, and said instead:
"At Swan Castle, Archbishop Adjani told you all the secrets of the church?"
"Yes." Colin nodded quickly, "I very much agree with Archbishop Adjani's point of view, the church today is too depraved, constantly meddling in the affairs of the empire in the name of the Lord of Radiance to seek personal gain!
So when I heard that you and Archbishop Adjani were determined to change the current situation, I chose to join you without hesitation!
This time I led the army to attack the Eastern Territory, and I also wanted to cut off the largest support force of the church in the secular world.
I don't know what is your plan for coming to Bailu City this time? "
In fact, Colin is also very clear that the alliance between him and Mr. Ji and Archbishop Adjani is actually very fragile. Although both parties intend to resist the church, they have no basis for mutual trust, and there is no clear goal and plan.
There are even some old grievances and conflicts of interest between each other.
Colin doesn't think that Mr. Ji will forget that he has repeatedly sabotaged his plan. It can even be said that Colin is most likely to be blamed for the failure of the San Theon family to occupy the northern border.
Now he only hopes that Mr. Ji can see the basis of cooperation between the two parties, put aside their grievances for the time being, and first unite and cut off the tentacles of the church in the east.
Mr. Xi did not answer Colin's question, but said to himself: "Count Angelet, I have always admired you very much, and I very much hope to become an ally with you..."
Colin's heart sank, because he understood that there must be a "but..." after this sentence pattern
And what was said before this "but" is bullshit!
Sure enough, I heard Mr. Ji continue:
"However, you are too good, so good that it frightens me."
Ke Lin twitched the corners of his mouth, and said helplessly, "Mr. Yu, wouldn't it be a good thing to have an excellent ally?"
"It may be for some people, but it's not for me." Mr. Xi stared into Colin's eyes with a little regret, "I'm a person with a strong desire to control, so I don't like those who are too aggressive. An ally who has done well and always surprises and surprises me.”
The muscles of Ke Lin's whole body tensed instantly, ready for the worst, but he was still trying to persuade:
"Mr. Yu, do you overestimate me a bit? I'm just the son of a country baron. Even if I become an earl now, I rely on the shadow of the St. Hilde family..."
"No." Mr. Xi interrupted, and the smile on his face also subsided, "Count Angelet, I have carefully investigated your past, and to be honest, I feel guilty. If I give you some more time, I may even I can't even imagine how far you will develop.
So, sorry. "
Hearing this, Ke Lin felt no luck anymore, the holy light all over his body surged like flowing water, converging on his hands.
But before he could make a move, Mr. Ji's eyes suddenly shot out a dazzling light.
For a moment, he seemed to see the sun close at hand, his eyes hurt, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Ke Lin was horrified, and immediately flew back.
But in his eyes blurred by tears, he saw an arm shining with golden holy light, piercing into his chest with the momentum of thunder!
Puchi!
Colin let out a scream, and was shocked to find that his heart had been held in Mr. Xi's hands!
"Farewell, Count Angelet!"
Boom!
Mr. Yu squeezed hard, and Colin's heart burst like a balloon filled with water.
Blood splattered everywhere.
