Chapter 3628

Saint Lan Kingdom, a nameless small town on the edge of the "Bahr Great Forest."

The reason why this place is called a nameless small town is because it has only been established for a few years. Given the current situation of constant beast disasters in this area, no one can be sure when this small town will exist. Perhaps tomorrow it will be destroyed by the beast race.

Although the small town only has a population of a few hundred, the surrounding wooden walls are built exceptionally sturdy. This relates to whether they can continue to survive here, so naturally, there will be no sloppiness.

Judging from the mottled traces on the wooden walls, the defense force of this small town is still tenacious, but for some reason, the few guards on duty behind the wooden walls today are revealing a bit of anxiety and worry.

The dark clouds in the night sky blocked the moonlight. Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew past, making the few guards on the wooden wall subconsciously block their faces with their hands.

When everything calmed down, the dark clouds in the night sky no longer blocked the moonlight. With the help of the moonlight, the few guards saw a giant beast like a dragon creature that had landed on the high wooden wall. Those vertical pupils were overlooking them. The distance was so close that they could even feel the scorching nasal breath blowing on their faces, causing their pores to ache faintly.

Before these few guards could shout a warning, they had already fallen asleep due to a fluctuation of light characteristics.

The one who came here was the Storm Flame Dragon · Dis. The four people on the dragon's back were Su Xiao, the High Priest, Caesar, and the Ghost Prophet.

As for how they met the Ghost Prophet, it is interesting to say. The other party arrived in the Saint Lan Kingdom in advance, and then as a distinguished guest, was invited to Duke Gula's manor to help Duke Gula divine good and bad luck.

The divination result was that Duke Gula would definitely have a great opportunity in the near future, allowing his status to go further.

This divination result was both accurate and inaccurate. This so-called great opportunity was the High Priest taking the sealed Su Xiao to find Duke Gula for a face-to-face talk. If this matter were true, it would indeed be a great opportunity. The problem is, this is a trap.

Being able to divine to this extent shows one point: the Ghost Prophet actually divined that this was a trap. He was deliberately inducing Duke Gula, making him think before this matter happened that a great opportunity was coming recently.

It was precisely because of this foreshadowing that the High Priest's backstab was so smooth. Throughout the whole process, Duke Gula did not have much suspicion. Thinking about it, in Duke Gula's view, he had already glimpsed the future.

The four people on the dragon's back now are either the Goblin Great Bluffer, the Divine Stick Great Bluffer, or the Divination Great Bluffer. In addition to these three great bluffers, there is also a Law-Extinguisher.

Such a lineup coming to this nameless small town makes people inexplicably sweat for this small town. The good news is that it was the Divination Great Bluffer among the four who divined that there was a God Child in this small town, so the four of them came here.

Finding someone qualified to inherit the "Radiance God Soul" has now reached an imminent degree. If this matter cannot be completed before tonight, by tomorrow morning, the Dawn believers all over the Saint Lan Kingdom will gradually realize that the deity they pray to no longer has the response feeling of the past. Once this situation appears, the disintegration of the Dawn God Sect will become an inevitable ending.

This afternoon, the High Priest was still as steady as an old dog, having a certain confidence in the God Child cultivated within the Dawn God Sect, thinking that it was inevitable for the God Child to inherit the "Radiance God Soul." The result, however, was that the God Child's compatibility with the "God of Radiance" was lower than that of ordinary believers.

This made the High Priest's blood pressure soar, and he was extremely disappointed. But after carefully inquiring, and the God Child also knowing that continuing to act was useless, it was considered a showdown. For so many years, he had no piety toward the God of Radiance, but instead worshipped the High Priest exceptionally.

The final result was that the inheritor of the God Soul was not found, but the High Priest found a successor. After both sides had a showdown, the more he looked at the God Child, the more pleasing he became, feeling that this kid would definitely become a new generation of Great Bluffer in the future.

The High Priest found the successor and was in a very good mood, but the problem at hand was not solved. The suitable inheritor of the Radiance God Soul could not be found, and tomorrow morning's plan could not continue.

At this critical juncture, the Ghost Prophet, whose braids were almost hanging to his waist and who was somewhat hunchbacked, spoke, euphemistically expressing that his divination would consume life source, that is, damage his lifespan, so he needed to get enough return to divine again. It was not that he loved money, but that not charging money would go against cause and effect and fate.

According to Su Xiao's observation, apart from the fact that this old guy's eyes were not very good, that life aura was more vibrant than most middle-aged people. As for cause and effect, Caesar took a look and there was no cause and effect at all.

Added to the fact that the Ghost Prophet's eyes were almost reflecting gold coins, it showed that this guy was talking nonsense.

Therefore, under the "patient persuasion" and "friendly persuasion" of Su Xiao, the High Priest, and the Platinum Bishop, the Ghost Prophet "suddenly realized" and decided that "friendship" with these people was more important, so he would not charge.

However, killing the Sand King was Su Xiao's promise to the Ghost Prophet, and he also made it clear to the other party that even if the other party did not assist him, he would still deal with the Sand King.

Cooperating with a diviner, it is actually better to make some things clear, otherwise, when the diviner divines it, the cooperation between the two sides will hide their own thoughts, which will greatly hinder the advancement of the plan.

It is interesting to say that Su Xiao's team that set off earlier and took the train to the Saint Lan Kingdom, that is, the Dragon God, Amu, Dre, Silver Face, Veronica, Red-Eyed Woman, Beast Knight, etc., are still halfway there. Counting the time, they might not necessarily arrive when the final victory is decided in the Saint Lan Kingdom.

The reason for this is that the train that was chartered has been attacked dozens of times along the way, and it is thanks to Veronica's good attainments in mechanics that she repaired the train many times.

The current situation is that Black Rose sent an elite assassination team, which has already fought to the death with the guard team. This is actually caused by a misunderstanding.

The mission of Dean, Amu, Silver Face, and others is to attract the enemy's attention and take this train to the Saint Lan Kingdom. The reason why they have been taking this train is not because this train is special, but to let them travel at a not-so-fast speed.

But the behavior of Dean, Amu, Silver Face, and others persistently taking the train has some deep meaning in the eyes of the enemy assassination team. The captain of the assassination team guessed that either the enemy's brain had a problem, or the enemy was guarding some weapon on this train, and the enemy wanted to use this weapon to deal with their leader, Black Rose.

Coupled with Silver Face's ability to shield perception, which made the members of the assassination team unable to perceive the situation in the train carriage, this made the assassination captain more firm in his previous thoughts.

After attacking the train many times and being blocked, the assassination captain was more convinced of this, so he ordered to destroy the train at all costs to prevent the enemy from transporting the unknown weapon to the Saint Lan Kingdom.

Regarding this, Veronica was so angry that she couldn't eat. Every time the train was broken, she repaired it. She repaired the dozen-carriage train until only three carriages were left, but the enemy still targeted this train.

Regarding the situation over there, Su Xiao was not prepared to interfere. This is the result he wanted to see. Dealing with Black Rose now requires winning by strange strategies, otherwise, with Black Rose's means, if they calculate against each other, it is really not certain whether they can become the final winner.

The small town under the night curtain was quiet. The four of Su Xiao stopped in front of a small church in the center of the small town.

Through the flower glass, one could see candlelight in the small church. After Su Xiao pushed the door open, he found that there was only a thin boy wearing simple clothes in the small church. He sat in front of the statue. Although he was thin and bony, his eyes were very spirited.

"Do you believe in him?"

The High Priest pointed to the Radiance Statue in front. The thin boy had some suspicion in his eyes. He asked: "Why should I believe in a deity who is already dead?"

Hearing this, the High Priest was secretly shocked. He did not feel any transcendence in this boy, but the other party gathered unimaginable suffering. That feeling was as if the other party absorbed all the suffering in this area around him, and then in a wonderful way, let these sufferings slowly evaporate.

The High Priest looked at the Ghost Prophet at the door. The Ghost Prophet nodded, meaning that this thin boy was the person he divined.

"Boy, do you wish to become a deity?"

The High Priest sat down, just sitting beside the boy.

"I don't wish to. Our deity only brings suffering."

"Oh? How do you know?"

"I can see suffering."

"Is that so? Then when you become a deity and don't bring suffering, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

The High Priest was already prepared to start bluffing.

"I won't."

The thin boy smiled. Although his words were somewhat annoying, his smile was exceptionally clear.

"Sigh, I am still old after all. Bai Ye, you should be the one to persuade him."

The High Priest's shouting reached outside the small church. Hearing the sound, Su Xiao, who was sitting on the bench studying the Mysterious Eye, got up and walked into the small church.

Su Xiao looked around. There was a faint sense of disaster in this small church, as if a lot of negative energy had gathered, as if it had been attracted by something.

The thin boy sitting in front of the statue looked more solemn after seeing Su Xiao walk into the small church. He said very sincerely to the High Priest beside him: "It's better for the two of us to talk, and I just politely refused just now."

"So, you are willing to become a deity?"

"A little expectant, but more uneasy about the unknown."

The thin boy smiled, his eyes calm far beyond his age.

"Oh? So uneasy, should I give you some time to consider?"

"Better not, I see the one outside the door, even more uneasy."

"Hahaha, you misunderstood. Bai Ye is just a bit cold on the surface, he is actually quite kind."

"Then... may I ask, how did the Supreme Radiance fall?"

"Cough~, let's change the subject."

The High Priest smiled somewhat awkwardly. He took out the "Radiance God Soul." As soon as this God Soul was taken out, it turned into golden light, drawing arcs and sinking into the boy's body.

With a muffled sound, the boy disappeared from where he was and was attracted by resonance to the Divine Domain. Seeing this scene, the High Priest's eyes were burning, and at the same time, he was even more wary of the Ghost Prophet's divination ability.

Covering up the traces of ascension, the High Priest was just about to walk out of the church when he found Su Xiao and Caesar, as well as Baja who had just flown here, blocking the door.

"What are you doing?"

The High Priest subconsciously felt something was wrong, especially seeing Caesar's treacherous smile.

"We'll talk after we go back. Let's go to the headquarters of your Dawn God Sect. Do you have any teleportation means to teleport us all over?"

Baja spoke. Hearing this, the High Priest took out a gem covered with cracks and threw it on the ground. A teleportation array appeared.

The High Priest stood on it first. Seeing nothing happened, Su Xiao, Caesar, and Baja stood on it. The Ghost Prophet was still outside the small church door. This guy not only had divination ability, but his spatial ability was also not weak. However, his spatial ability had extremely strong limitations and could only teleport himself.

This spatial ability of the Ghost Prophet was obtained after making a vow with a vow object. There were many limitations, but it was also exceptionally practical.

The one-time spatial array was activated. After a soft and powerless teleportation, Su Xiao arrived in a storage room. This place was about several thousand square meters in size. On rows of shelves, various objects with strange auras were placed. These were all confiscated by members of the Dawn God Sect when dealing with transcendental events.

The existence of the Dawn God Sect has both advantages and disadvantages for the Saint Lan Kingdom. The judgment team of the Dawn God Sect will hunt members of evil cults or dark god sects, as well as various monsters and ghosts. This is both to maintain the transcendental stability of the Saint Lan Kingdom and to take the opportunity to exclude dissidents.

Under the guidance of the High Priest, Su Xiao came to a quiet study on the fifth floor of the main church. Not long after, the High Priest's two confidants arrived. One was Hubert, who managed the financial power of the Dawn God Sect. This person was somewhat fat and always treated people with a smile. At the first meeting, he gave people a high sense of affinity.

The other was the girl with vertical pupils he had seen before. Her name was Hill. She was originally a rising combat force. Because of her performance in the Divine Domain before, she was promoted to a confidant by the High Priest.

After Hill walked into the study, seeing Su Xiao present, the surprise in her eyes flashed away, and instead, as if she had never seen Su Xiao, she stood behind the High Priest with her hands behind her back.

"You, yes, it's you, have you seen us before?"

Baja narrowed its eagle eyes and spoke, its gaze exceptionally sharp.

"No."

Hill looked directly into Baja's eyes without avoiding it.

"Boss, this guy is lying. Before she saw us, her eyes were not right, and now they are even more wrong. She might be Black Rose's subordinate."

Blue light surged from Baja's eagle claws. Seeing this, Su Xiao stood up from the chair.

"Evidence? What evidence do you have that I am Black Rose's subordinate?"

Hill's tone was serious. Although she knew the situation was not good, she could not show a guilty conscience. The more she did, the more it would arouse suspicion.

"I'm sorry, we don't need evidence."

Baja was already ready to go, just waiting for Su Xiao's order.

"You are the Dean of the Twilight Asylum, Veronica is your subordinate, and I have a grudge against her."

Hill spoke in a deep voice. Hearing this, Su Xiao looked at the vertical-pupil Hill opposite for a moment and sat back down.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is. Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. If you have a grudge against Veronica, if there is a chance, I will arrange for you to meet and resolve the misunderstanding."

Baja returned to its silly state, without the slightest sharpness and coldness just now.

"She killed my friend."

"Uh~, this grudge is quite big, then you handle it yourselves."

Baja changed the subject, which made the atmosphere in the study turn from cloudy to sunny. The High Priest did not speak just now. He naturally noticed that this newly promoted confidant was slightly wrong. Now the matter was basically clear, but this was the situation he wanted to see.

"Bai Ye, it's impossible for there to be walls with ears here. Tell me, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

"……"

Su Xiao did not speak, indicating that this matter was handled by Baja and Caesar, and in the team channel, he offered Caesar a 20% benefit fee for this deal. Originally, he wanted to give 30%, but considering that he still had to cooperate with the High Priest later, he couldn't be too ruthless.

Seeing that he got 20% of the benefits, Caesar only took out the POS machine and did not take out the ancient money bag, etc.

Baja cleared its throat and said: "It's like this, we and the first round of trading, that is, the Radiance God Soul, you have already received it. In this way, I blindly guess that you definitely need this thing."

While Baja was speaking, it took out the 【Blazing Light Spear (Origin Grade · Divine Weapon)】 from the team storage space, and continued:

"Since the Dawn God Sect has ascended a new deity, it must need this thing. This object is made of precious, rare, and uncommon metals. In other words, this is a weapon tailored for the God of Radiance."

Hearing this, the old fox-like High Priest still maintained a smile, while Hubert and Hill behind him were not calm, because they were sure that this thing was the God of Radiance's original weapon.

"Make an offer."

The High Priest smiled exceptionally gently.

"Don't rush, we have other treasures. Look at this, this object is called 'Shining Heart Core', it is a secret treasure left after the death of the God of Radiance two generations ago, and has existed for a thousand years."

Hearing Baja's introduction, the High Priest's face was as usual.

"We bought these two treasures."

"Don't rush, there are other things. These two scrolls record two types of abilities of the God of Radiance. These four items are all prepared to be sold to you, but the price, this is not up to me to decide."

Baja flew to the top of the chair back. Caesar on the side coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the High Priest and others, meaning, find him to talk about the price.

Half an hour later, Hubert, whose consciousness was a bit blurry, walked out of the study. Looking at the bill in his hand, he, who managed the finances of the Dawn God Sect, never understood why 2+2=8. Calculated alone, this was talking nonsense, but looking carefully at the bill written by Caesar, he felt that 2+2=8 had no problems at all.

A moment later, Hubert brought two people back to the study, let people put down the few wooden boxes carried, and then this financial officer left with a worried look. It seems he was still doubting life because of the 2+2=8 problem on the bill.

In the study, Su Xiao put away the large wooden boxes one by one. The reason why he chose to sell the divine weapon to the High Priest was because each had what they needed. The Dawn God Sect would have to spend a greater price to build a new divine weapon in the future. Conversely, if Su Xiao sold this thing in a large gathering place, he would not be able to sell it at a high price. The prerequisites for using divine weapons were too harsh.

【You obtained Soul Crystal Core × 132.】

【You obtained valuables with a total value of 89503 soul coins.】

【You obtained Inscription Master (Origin Grade · Blade Weapon).】

【You obtained Deep Blue (Origin Grade · Blade Weapon).】

……

Su Xiao really did not expect that the Dawn God Sect had two Origin Grade long blades. Originally, he planned to get an Origin Grade defensive gear to upgrade 【Night of Wild Hunt】 to Origin Grade, but Origin Grade defensive gear was too popular, and the Dawn God Sect simply could not keep it.

After the transaction was completed, the High Priest's face was no longer gloomy. Everything he showed just now was just to prevent Su Xiao and others from raising the price too ruthlessly. As for the two sides breaking up because of this, it was impossible.

Not to mention anything else, the matter of conspiring to assassinate Duke Gula destined that the two sides could only continue to cooperate. They were already on the same pirate ship. Now, if they didn't clean up Black Rose and part of the royal family, the High Priest would definitely die without a burial place.

When the first ray of morning sun rose on the horizon, the Royal Capital gradually returned to its usual bustle. Pedestrians began to be seen on the street one after another. The rumors that had just appeared recently were self-defeating this morning. The believers of the Dawn God Sect had the feeling of praying as before, but compared to before, after praying this morning, they all felt slightly different.

At eight o'clock in the morning, in front of the magnificent Wang Gong, guards stood in two rows one after another. Ministers and dignitaries of the kingdom walked into the Wang Gong one after another, heading straight for the Kingdom Council Hall at the innermost side of the first floor.

Inside the Kingdom Council Hall, the area here is over a thousand meters, which can be said to be solemn and luxurious. The layout of the entire council hall is: in the middle is a four-person council table, and outside are layers of circular seats. A passage several meters wide leads to the entrance, and the ground is paved with red carpets.

At this moment, many royal dignitaries or kingdom ministers were already seated on the surrounding circular seats.

And beside the council table in the center, Black Rose was already seated. She had purple short hair hanging to her ears and black eyeshadow, which gave her a mysterious feeling of rejecting people. Even if she was wearing a formal black gauze dress, she could not hide her charming figure. From the appearance, Black Rose was at most under thirty years old. After seeing her, it was difficult for the opposite sex to resist her powerful and charming charm.

At this moment, Black Rose's right elbow was resting on the armrest, and she was rubbing her forehead with one hand. In the past two days, she could be said to be worried and frightened. The worry was that the Law-Extinguisher had come for revenge, and the fright was that the Law-Extinguisher did not seem to have killed him head-on. This did not fit the style of the Law-Extinguisher. In her memory, those Law-Extinguishers who sought revenge all infiltrated head-on, then killed all the enemy's guards or escorts, and finally assassinated the enemy face-to-face.

Infiltration head-on + face-to-face assassination is the most common revenge method for powerful Law-Extinguishers.

Black Rose had been waiting for several days. Except for knowing that the enemy team was on the way, the Law-Extinguisher seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without any news.

While Black Rose was thinking, Duke Gula arrived and sat down at the council table, which made Black Rose wrinkle her slender eyebrows. Today's Duke Gula was slightly different from the past.

Black Rose was just about to speak, when the High Priest and the little king arrived. The High Priest sat down directly, while the little king opposite Black Rose did not sit down, but stood beside the seat, looking at Black Rose across the council table.

"Sit down, the meeting is about to begin."

Black Rose spoke in her usual tone. What surprised her was that the little king opposite the table not only did not sit down, but still stood beside the seat, and also raised his chin, which made Black Rose somewhat puzzled. She knew that this little brat had absorbed the soul of his father, but even if the other party's mind was mature, he was just a little king.

Before Black Rose could speak, the closed door of the Kingdom Council Hall opened with a bang. A figure walked into the council hall alone. It was Su Xiao.

Seeing Su Xiao walking from the opposite side, Black Rose was stunned for a moment. She narrowed her eyes, took out Su Xiao's photo from the file bag beside her, looked at the photo, and then looked at Su Xiao who was walking over. She was dumbfounded.

"As expected of... Law-Extinguisher, I have thought of many scenes when we meet, except for this one now."

Black Rose's mood at this moment was mixed with doubt and comfort. The Law-Extinguisher who had made her restless for a period of time appeared in front of her in the situation she most wanted to see. This made the smile on her face difficult to suppress, so she simply did not suppress it.

"……"

Su Xiao did not speak and sat down in the seat belonging to the little king. Seeing Su Xiao sit down, the High Priest and Duke Gula on both sides stood up and came behind Su Xiao's seat.

Snap~

Su Xiao lit a cigarette with Fate Dominator. Duke Gula behind his seat turned to take the ashtray from the nearby small table and placed it on the council table in front of Su Xiao, then he stood behind Su Xiao's seat again.

Opposite, Black Rose looked at Su Xiao who was sitting steadily, as well as the little king standing beside Su Xiao's hand, and Duke Gula and the High Priest behind his seat. This made the smile on Black Rose's face freeze and gradually disappear.
