Chapter 287: A noble person

At the new station of the Fallen Legion, Xia Mala wore holy armor, covered her face, flapped her iconic four black light wings, and landed.

Two knights wearing black armor knocked on their chests, saluted her, and reported: "Lord Black Angel, Pope Anthony and Lord An are waiting for you."

Xia Mala nodded calmly, but her palms began to sweat. This was the first time she appeared in front of others as a Black Angel. Things like pretending to be a ghost were too difficult for a pure saint like her.

Fortunately, the holy armor blocked everything, and others couldn't even see her expression.

"Steady, don't be nervous, go." Seraphim Luna's voice sounded in Xia Mala's ear.

Xia Mala lifted her feet and walked into the camp, passed several sentries, accepted more than a dozen salutes from others, and finally came to the main tent. Ang and Anthony had been waiting there for a while.

After letting outsiders retreat, leaving only a few of them, Xia Mala lifted her mask and sighed: "Suffocated me, Pope Anthony, can I not impersonate the Black Angel? I can't do this kind of thing well, I'm afraid of being discovered."

Xia Mala agreed to Anthony's plan to rebuild the Fallen Legion, but now she felt it was too difficult. She had never told a lie in her life, but now she had to act under a disguised identity. Every sentence was a lie, which was really too difficult for her. She would rather go dragon slaying alone.

"Oh?" Anthony narrowed his eyes and smiled: "If it's really too difficult, don't do it. It's really too difficult for such a holy, honest, and upright person like you to deceive others."

Anthony's words simply spoke to her heart. She was the kind of character who would rather suffer losses herself than tell a lie.

Anthony frowned and said: "But Seraphim Luna is not a human after all. Sometimes it's easy to consider things incompletely. For example, the weather is too hot, she definitely can't remember to cover the sun, but will think 'What is this 50 degrees? Continue to act,' and then everyone will be hot to death."

Seraphim Luna's phantom couldn't help but pop out and scold: "I'm not that stupid."

"Metaphor, metaphor, I'll change it. For example, those few days when women are uncomfortable, she definitely won't be as careful as Lord Negris, arranging some absorbent cotton cloth for everyone," Anthony said.

Xia Mala's face turned red, but she felt the same way. When she was hiding in the Dark City, it was thanks to some absorbent cotton cloth arranged by Negris that she didn't have to run around with her butt bare. She couldn't help but say: "Lord Negris is indeed a friend of women."

Negris, projected on Ang, was dumbfounded. In a few words, he got a title of "Friend of Women"?

"Most of these people were polluted by you. They can't return to their hometowns or the church. Some people have actually been taken in by the City of Beauty, but they fled back. Their hearts still yearn for light. These people need to be taken care of," Anthony said earnestly.

Negris couldn't help but scold: "Yearn for light my ass! Aren't these people all specially picked by you? That castrated singer Sandri is also Ang's die-hard fan, and was also picked over by you."

Negris was angry that this guy could turn black into white, dead into alive. It was clearly a move to mix sand, but it was said to be yearning for light. Not a single word of this guy can be listened to, otherwise you will be sold and still count money for him.

However, these words spoke to Xia Mala's heart.

She herself was a saint who yearned for light. Because of her inner persistence, she didn't want to lie, didn't want to be with the same stream, so she insisted that the gods had disappeared, and because she couldn't be possessed by the holy spirit, she was persuaded to retire by Guli Anni.

In the end, because her desire for holy light was too strong, she awakened the fallen power. From any angle, she was more like a saint than those believers who chose to compromise under pressure.

In order to plunder holy light, she polluted those people, but now because of Anthony's words, she felt that she should be responsible for these people. Not being responsible is equivalent to failing these believers who yearn for light.

Thinking of Seraphim Luna's non-human characteristics, as Anthony said, she didn't even know how to add cotton strips when she was bleeding.

Compared with these things, her inner fear of difficulty didn't seem to be a big deal.

Seeing the expression on her face, Anthony knew she was shaken, and took the opportunity to say: "Seraphim Luna is a holy spirit after all, her upper limit is already doomed, but you are different. You are a god-stealer. Steal enough believers, and the holy light will be yours."

"Holy... holy light is mine." Xia Mala muttered, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

Re-pulling the mask, from now on, Xia Mala is the real Black Angel.

Anthony smiled slightly. Don't look at Xia Mala who is already decades old, but in the eyes of a thousand-year-old immortal like him, she is as simple as a baby. He saw through what she feared at a glance.

After a series of rhetoric about responsibility and yearning, the little fear of difficulty vanished.

After opening Xia Mala's heart, Anthony hurriedly stated his intention and told the situation about the Insect God Matis.

"That insect-repelling master only said one word 'Jing' (Fine/Spirit). I don't know what 'Jing' it is. I counted all the place names starting with 'Jing' in the whole plane. Which one do you feel most?" Anthony said while handing over a piece of paper.

Xia Mala took it and looked, only to see a large pile of place names starting with 'Jing' written on the paper: Elf Forest, Elf Canyon, Elf Island, Jing City, Mental Hospital... etc., etc.

"Matis? Elf Forest, I have a bad feeling." Xia Mala pointed to the Elf Forest for the first time.

Anthony also thought so, so he put the Elf Forest at the front, because for insects, the Elf Forest is the most valuable. Other places starting with 'Jing' are not suitable for large-scale reproduction of insects.

Maybe because of this, the God of Life will have a headache. An Insect God is hiding in her forest, and she didn't notice it?

Xia Mala handed back the paper. Anthony took it into his hand and took out another paper full of symbols calmly, saying: "Lu Se asked me to ask you, this is the symbol of the third lucky charm of the Gnomish Chamber of Commerce this year. Which ones do you think are lucky symbols?"

"Lucky charm? Lu Se? What is this?" Negris was a little confused. Lucky charm of the Gnomish Chamber of Commerce? When can Gnomes bless others?

Xia Mala took the note, looked at it for a few times, and looked up at Anthony: "How much is the bonus?"

"200,000 magic crystals." Anthony felt like he was seen through and hurriedly replied.

Xia Mala nodded: "I feel it wasn't Lu Se who asked. I won't tell you, but thank you for letting me know a way to make money. If I knew I could make money like this, I wouldn't have to mix into the laundry team."

The laundry team Xia Mala mentioned refers to the way she mixed into the Land of Slumber. Because of this, she was harassed by the leader. If she had 200,000 magic crystals, she wouldn't need to use this method to mix in.

Anthony sighed without changing his face: "Alas, you saw through it. Disaster relief has exhausted all the property I can mobilize, and I owe a large sum of money to the Silver Coin Chamber of Commerce. I wanted to use the lucky draw of the Gnomish Chamber of Commerce to pay off some interest. Forget it, I'll think of other ways."

Anthony sighed and turned to want to leave heavily.

Xia Mala pulled his sleeve tightly and said moved: "You are a noble person. This, this, and this make me feel lucky. Hurry up and pay off the interest."

Negris couldn't help but roar in Ang's soul: "Ku Ba Da, you looked at the wrong person! He lied to you! How can you not feel it? Other things have such accurate premonitions, how can you not see people accurately!!"

Negris was so anxious. The insidious and cunning Anthony was regarded as a noble person? Then it, the God of Knowledge, is a pure dragon!

Ang tilted his head and said to it with his will: "He didn't lie."

Negris was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood, dumbfounded: "Ku Ba Da, can it still be like this? Even the divine skill of premonition can be lied to?"

Anthony didn't lie. He really intended to use this money to pay off the interest, so Xia Mala couldn't feel him lying. But the money was originally empty-handed by him. Isn't it normal to pay interest?

Holding the lucky charms circled by Xia Mala, the group left the station of the Fallen Legion.

After getting on the carriage, Negris couldn't wait to make a sound and asked: "What lucky charm did you take? How to play? And the 200,000 reward is so much?"

Anthony explained the gameplay of the lucky charm: "Each group can buy three symbols, each group of symbols is one gold coin, you can buy unlimited groups, open once a quarter, all three symbols hit, it is a special lucky person, get 200,000 magic crystals reward."

Negris was dumbfounded. Can you still play like this? I have to say, this is really suitable for Xia Mala's premonition ability.

It has been sealed for more than a thousand years, and the tricks of intelligent creatures are getting more and more.

Forget it, without Xia Mala's premonition ability, it can't play such a low-probability thing, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Determine that the Insect God is hiding in the Elf Forest, then what to do now? Are we going to the Elf Forest?"

Anthony shook his head: "No need, do you still need us in the Elf Forest? Don't you notify the God of Life and the Elves? They will turn the forest upside down."

Negris nodded: "Also right, okay, Ang, notify the Elves and the Tree of Life."

Ang nodded, took out a tree core that was emerald green like an emerald, and another wooden sign.

Anthony saw the emerald green tree core, his eyes were about to pop out, and asked in shock: "This... this... is this the legendary thing? How could it be with you?"

"You know what this is?" Negris said puzzled.

"Life Heart, right? Is it Life Heart? The Life Heart that can obtain eternal life in legend?" Anthony asked excitedly.

Negris rolled its eyes: "The Tree of Life itself can't live to eternity, how can it let others obtain eternal life? But this is indeed the Life Heart. But the problem is, how do you know it? The old World Tree didn't give it to anyone."

"Ah? Didn't give it to anyone?" Anthony was also a little confused: "But it's spread like this everywhere. Obtaining the Life Heart can obtain eternal life. Even the Elves themselves spread it like this."

"That should be nonsense. This is the tree core of the Tree of Life. It didn't say other functions, only that holding it can communicate with it. As for eternal life or something, it must be nonsense. The World Tree itself can't live to eternity, and it doesn't live as long as we do," Negris said.

Anthony also reacted. Oh, undead creatures are eternal. Want eternal life? Can it help people reincarnate into undead creatures?

Ang communicated with the Heart of Life through his will and said a few words to the wooden tablet; not long after, the wooden tablet transmitted Gailade's voice:

"Thank you, Lord Ang. Actually, we have already noticed it, but we have been unable to find the specific location, and the God of Life refuses to pay attention to us. Lord Ang, can you... beep..."

Before Gailade finished speaking, Ang hung up the communication of the wooden sign.

Anthony was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, Gailade also has today. Lord, you may be the first person to not give the Elf Queen face like this."

"Don't talk about the Elf Queen, talk about you. Ang left his field unplanted and ran to help you out of the siege. What do you think should be equal to?" Negris asked.

Now the insect plague in the settlement has been basically controlled. After treating the emergency and dangerous patients, those mild and heavy cases only need medicine to improve.

Even if there are a few cases that turn into dangerous and heavy cases, Anthony's subordinates have enough therapists, and Ang no longer needs to do it himself.

Things are done, it's time to settle the account.

Anthony smiled bitterly: "Lord, can you owe it first? Or, can you use people to pay off the debt? Or cut a few pieces of land for you to grow vegetables?"

In fact, Anthony had been thinking about this problem long ago. Equivalent exchange has always been Ang's principle, so he had been thinking about what to exchange. Now the biggest problem is not knowing what Ang needs.

He has always believed that people are more important than money, but Ang doesn't like population, and he has no money now. Must wait until the second half of the year, when religious taxes are collected, will there be money. However, if the disaster situation does not decrease, who will he go to collect taxes in the second half of the year?

Ang shook his head: "I took it."

While speaking, he raised his finger, and a chubby little ghost popped out from his finger. After a period of time, the little ghost was much fatter, and now it looks like a ball.

"Took it? Little ghost? You didn't grab the faith network of those hundreds of thousands of people, did you?" Negris was shocked.

Ang nodded.

When the City of Beauty received those tens of thousands of fallen people, Ang grabbed the faith network once, all connected to the little ghost. Now he grabbed hundreds of thousands again. It won't be long before the Light Church will really be hollowed out by him.

Hundreds of thousands of believers are much better than magic crystals and treasures. Anthony has also been encouraging Ang to compete for population. If this method is used to steal believers, it will be a better method.

"Lord, do you want to arrange a few more prayer meetings, and you grab all their faith networks?" Anthony said excitedly.

Ang shook his head with little interest. Grabbing believers is not as fun as planting things, not doing it.

Speaking of this, Ang suddenly tilted his head and reached out to take out the wooden sign just now.

The wooden sign made a rapid "beep beep beep" sound. Ang clicked it, only to hear the panicked voice of the Elf Queen inside: "Lord Ang, suddenly many insects popped out, we can't kill them, their number is increasing, gnawing the forest, if this continues, the God of Life and the forest will be gnawed away by them."

Ang hurriedly took out the Life Heart, and a will of the Tree of Life also came out: Save me... ===== CHAPTER 288 =====
