Lide stopped holding the pen, then showed a meaningful smile, gently twisted the pen holder, and asked Shuang:
"How did they get in here?"
Shuang took a deep breath, lowered her head, and replied tremblingly:
"I don't know..."
Cold sweat rolled down her face. In fact, Anbu of Yuxi City didn't notice these suspicious people at all, and only realized that something was wrong when the other party came to the door. What channel did the other party go, what did the other party want to do, how many other people were hiding in the dark... These frosts have no clue at all.
Although she has tried her best to investigate with the power in her hands, Shuang has already faintly felt that the influence of the opponent on the dark side is not at the same level as her own. So far, Yuxi City has been cleaned many times, and many eyeliners buried deep in other houses have been quietly eliminated, but this is the first time they have encountered such a difficult opponent.
She felt that this was her own negligence, so when she reported to Lide, she was very guilty, for fear that Lide would blame him.
But in fact Lide was not angry. Shuang was born in Yinwei. Even the hidden guards in Lingwu who covered the sky with one hand could not prevent the infiltration of the Abyss Church, and the Lord of Lingwu had to mobilize the Sun Guards to intercept it on the border. It would be strange if Shuang could block the Abyss Church. This organization is estimated to have a longer history than the Kingdom of Eternal Heaven. Only one of the twelve cardinals of the Pontifical Council left Lingwu in a state of chaos. It can be said that the Church of the Abyss itself is an ancient behemoth hidden underwater. .
Lied said:
"Let them in. How many in total?"
Shuang didn't dare to look up, and replied:
"Two. A man and a woman."
Lid put the pen in his hand on the table and said:
"Well, I won't blame you this time, because the Church of the Abyss is indeed a very difficult opponent. But you have to think about how to guard against them in the future. I will give you a month. If you can't take it after a month Come up with a practical and effective plan, and I will tell you my method. Go down first, the current focus is still on Yunyang’s movements, there is no room for loss.”
Shuang knelt down on one knee, paused deeply, and said:
"yes."
Then he got up and left, he let out a long sigh of relief when closing the door, wiped off the sweat on his face, and returned to his usual appearance. There were two people wearing cloaks standing outside the city lord's mansion. Shuang didn't want to show timidity in front of them, so she just said "The city lord agrees with you" when she went out, then showed them the way, and went back to her secret residence.
The two people wearing cloaks looked at each other and stepped into the city lord's mansion.
In the meeting room, two people wearing cloaks walked in, one stood at the door and looked at Lide, and the other closed the door.
Then, the two took off their cloaks together.
The one who went to close the door just now was a middle-aged man who was blind in one eye, and the other was a mature woman with burgundy wavy hair. The former is about forty-five years old, and the latter is about thirty years old, but looks younger.
There was a gentle smile on the woman's face, and she said to Lid's gaze:
"I'm sorry to bother you, my lord."
She stepped forward, put a box of exquisite pastries on the table, smiled and said:
"I brought some gifts here as an apology. I heard that you are very particular about food. When you came here, we specially asked our girl who is good at cooking to prepare some desserts. I don't know if it suits your taste."
Lide glanced at the desserts on the table. They were indeed exquisite, and it could be seen that they were made by famous experts.
I don't know if my clothes will explode if I eat it.
He also showed a smile and said:
"Where, please be polite. I don't know who the two are, what can I do for you?"
The woman returned to her original position and said softly:
"My concubine's name is Shiyuan, the bishop of the Laity Council. This is Sean, the bishop of the Justice and Peace Council."
Lied frowned slightly. He knew that most of these two names were fake, and even the age, appearance and voice of these two people could not be true now. But he didn't care. He nodded and signaled the two people present to continue talking.
Shiyuan bowed slightly to him, and then asked softly:
"Your Majesty, the City Lord has a lot of things to do every day, and there are many important things to do. I didn't beat around the bush, so I asked straight to the point. The Church of the Abyss is divided into twelve councils. Among them, the bishop of the New Gospel Promotion Council, in Kleiner Si's resurrection plan unfortunately passed away. I don't know if the city lord intends to make a name with us and take up the position of... the vacant bishop?"
Lid stared into her eyes.
A large part of the reason why Lide felt that her appearance was fake was that her appearance did not match those eyes. Those eyes were like spring water, not the kind of breathtaking beauty, but with a charm that dispelled people's defenses. Coupled with that non-aggressive voice, it gives people the feeling of a soft and beautiful woman, and people can't help but want to get close to her.
However, this did not have a very good effect on Lide.
He sat on the chair, changed to a more comfortable position, crossed his legs and asked:
"Why are you looking for me?"
Lied's attitude seemed to dissatisfy another bishop, Sean, who was present. The gray-haired man took a step forward with a strong aura. His fists were wrapped in bandages, and he looked like a fighter, his muscles tensed with strength. It's just that Shi Yuan stretched out her hand in advance, stopped him calmly, and said to Li De with a smile on her face:
"Because according to our observations, the City Lord is qualified to take this position."
Lid looked at her with a half-smile.
Shi Yuan said softly:
"Our twelve bishops serve the Twelve Pillars of Kungu. I believe the city lord has already guessed that the New Gospel Promotion Council is serving the Pillars of Eternal Life, Kleiners."
The smile on Lied's face slowly faded, and a sharp light shone in his eyes.
He opened his mouth and said slowly:
"In this case, you shouldn't come to see me, you should go to that woman Lingwu. The object of your allegiance, and the person who serves that object, are all in Lingwu, not in Yuxi City."
His voice was not loud, with a bit of coldness.
Shi Yuan didn't care, she took a step forward, her plump figure couldn't be covered by the pitch-black cloak, and her chest trembled wildly. No matter in terms of appearance or temperament, her tolerance is unparalleled. Even though the surrounding atmosphere gradually became tense, she still showed no hostility:
"I know it. But after repeated discussions, our Church of the Abyss still believes that the city lord will be the best choice for us. Although you have personally destroyed our plan, our Church of the Abyss cares more about it. What matters is the future. Judging from the current situation, not only are you capable enough to hold this position, but you are also one of the two closest people to Mr. Kleiners."
Shi Yuan smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Seeing that smile, Li De believed that there really is a saying in the world that the land of tenderness is a tomb of heroes.
Shi Yuan blessed the body, and said to Li De respectfully:
"I heard that you are preparing for Yunyang recently. Actually, it doesn't need to be that troublesome. If you agree, within half a month, I can put the head of Lord Yunyang on the table in front of you .”
