Ultimate Assassin System
Chapter 790 Just wait for death (second update)
A week passed quickly. .
No one knew about the shocking movement in the remote mountains. Of course, no one could possibly know. Even if those few survivors who narrowly survived went back and made a big publicity, attracting people to come and watch, others would only think that it was a natural formation of the terrain, and would not think that it was cut with a sword... Well, this is unscientific. !
In the end, the result of this incident can only be that there are a few more devout believers in the world, and the bard has one more legendary material in his mouth, that's all!
Oh, by the way, there was actually some serious noise about this matter, but no one knew about it. That was a week ago, when a masked man suddenly descended from the sky in broad daylight and broke into magic guilds in several cities with his bare hands. He only kidnapped a space magician before leaving.
The impact of this incident is really not weak. After all, the Magic Guild is not a force that can be easily provoked. After being slapped in the face by such a red fruit, the Magic Guild Thunder was furious and quickly launched an investigation into the matter. But in the end, apart from knowing that the person coming was very strong, nothing else was gained.
Although the abducted space magician was not dead, when he came back for investigation, he just spread his hands and said that he was asked to move hundreds of kilometers to the west, and then walked around the barren mountains and ridges for a while, laughing a few times. Then he returned to the city with him. After thanking him, he said a friendly farewell... This was the whole process, and nothing else happened.
After a few days of turmoil, the Magic Guild had to announce its conclusion internally, that is, they had encountered a very powerful lunatic. Well, that's right...
In addition to the above things that look like farces, something very serious happened in Bran's north this week - the temple fell into an embarrassing situation. The situation seems to be getting better recently. This is not to say that the believers have forgiven the temple, but that the news of clergy casualties that came from everywhere suddenly disappeared!
This is naturally a good thing, especially for the temple. However, the Northern Temple General Assembly seemed unusually low-key at this time, not only not sending out a large number of manpower to settle accounts with the countless warriors who had secretly acted before. Instead, the masters stationed in various places were quietly transferred back, as if they were accepting their fate, and as if some thunderstorm was brewing...
Who knows? Ordinary people don't care about this matter. They just feel that the situation has suddenly become more stable. They no longer hear the horrifying rumors about the destruction of this church and the beheading of the priest there. The dark clouds in their hearts have suddenly dispersed a lot. Then do whatever you have to do.
Of course, as outsiders, ordinary people can not ask for a deeper understanding. But if you are a clergyman, such as Xia Wei'an, the perception will be different...
…
In the evening, the twilight is low and the waning moon is in the sky.
In the Northern Temple General Assembly, on the roof of a side hall somewhere in the north corner, Xia Wei'an is sitting half under the shadow of the roof ridge, leaning her upper body forward, bending her right leg, crossing her hands on her knees, her face under the high bridge of her nose is hidden behind her arms. A pair of clear eyes were exposed, dazed and motionless, like a sculpture under the moonlight. .
If she looked along her line of sight, she would see the City of Holy Light on the outskirts of the Temple General Assembly, where loyal believers of the Temple gathered spontaneously to live.
Different from believers and clergy, Xia Wei'an actually prefers the Temple Association here in the north, that is, Holy Light City, to the more sacred Temple Association.
She likes the atmosphere here. The clergy and the believers coexist harmoniously. They are all in each other's sight. They pray every day and ring the bells at sunset. It is peaceful and harmonious. Unlike the Temple Association in the south, which builds its own city, although it looks more majestic and sacred due to the distance, it always makes people feel aloof and lacks the atmosphere of fireworks.
But now, the place in front of Xia Wei'an that she loved so much and was so familiar felt a little strange and alienated. Under the night, the undulating buildings are still there, but there are no more lights like the stars in the sky. Instead, there were vast tracts of empty darkness, and the atmosphere was sparse and dead.
These are the believers who have withdrawn one after another in recent months. The scandals and scandals constantly breaking out in the temple have finally exhausted the trust and faith of these loyal believers. They did not want to riot as violently as believers from other places, so they could only silently protest in this way of leaving.
Alas... Youran sighed softly and passed away with the wind. Xia Wei'an lowered her eyes slightly and looked away, not wanting to see this favorite scenery in the past.
In fact, Xia Wei'an's mood was extremely complicated regarding the withdrawal of these believers. Since she cleared her grievances and officially returned to the temple, she has been running around with the Puritans. Based on various scandals circulating in the world, she has strictly examined the clergy involved. Once the evidence is conclusive, she will immediately return it to the General Inquisition. According to the Temple regulations are dealt with.
This is a right recognized by the Pope when the Puritans came, and it is also a feasible way that Xia Wei'an believes to solve the current crisis in the temple. It's a very simple principle: merit should be rewarded, mistakes should be acknowledged, and crimes should be punished. Black and white are clear, as they have been since ancient times!
However, there were too many guilty clergy. After investigation, most of the scandals spread in the world turned out to be true. This undoubtedly hurt the hearts of believers, so many believers chose to evacuate Holy Light City. It is precisely because of this that their approach was opposed by many big figures in the temple, saying that they were the source of trouble that caused chaos in the temple. but……
Xia Wei'an clenched her fists and looked determined. She felt that she had done the right thing. Although some believers were heartbroken and left the Holy Light City. But more and more believers choose to stay and watch, especially at the trial site. In addition to roaring and cursing, there are also cheers. In addition to anger, there was another kind of light in their eyes, which was the light of hope ignited by their actions.
If it is not destroyed, it cannot be established. If it is not destroyed, how can it be established?
Xia Wei'an firmly believes that as long as this continues, more and more believers will rekindle hope in the temple. And the silent darkness in front of us will eventually be covered by stars and lights again, and there will be laughter and laughter!
However, it is worth mentioning that within the past week, the trial activities were temporarily suspended, and Xia Wei'an and the Puritans were not able to leave the Holy Light City - they were grounded.
This order comes from the Southern Temple Association. The apparent reason is that something big is about to happen here and no interference is allowed. And the actual reason... is just because of a letter!
Thinking of this, Xia Wei'an curled her lips slightly. The recent transfer of masters from various places by the Northern Temple is certainly not a sign that they have accepted their fate. In fact, in addition to these actions, many masters have been coming from the south in the past few days and gathered on the land under her feet, ready to fight. It’s just for that letter!
If this matter were spread out, saying that the temple would always go to war over an ordinary letter, it would surely make the world shake their heads. But after it was confirmed that the owner of this letter was a guy named Tang En, they couldn't care less about it... I don't know if this is the attention of the lion and the rabbit, or the fear of everyone!
Xia Wei'an shook his head. He had also read the content of the letter. It was very ordinary and brief. It's just that we have agreed on a time and used this place as the location, and then Tang En will come over and talk to the people here who can speak... That's it, just an ordinary letter of visit, just like those people in the world who have some status in all walks of life, but When people who do not know each other meet for the first time, in order to show respect for each other, they first send a letter of visit as a courtesy.
But will that guy be polite to the temple? Xia Wei'an shook his head in denial as a matter of course. So after struggling for a while, with the attitude of being responsible for the temple, Xia Wei'an still submitted a proposal to Archbishop Veron, which contained her assessment and speculation on Tang En's behavior style, so that she should be careful of the other party's calculations. It also specifically mentioned that Tang En had a major portable killing weapon. However, one day later, Xia Wei'an found her proposal, intact...
She was ignored. The temple's senior officials had a unanimous opinion on the purpose of Tang En's visit. That means that the other party finally can't hold on any longer, so this time they should definitely come to negotiate. Originally, how many people do you have? How much background does it have? Our temple has a huge force all over Bran's land, and has a heritage of more than a thousand years. What are you trying to do with us... I have to say that this year, the Northern Temple has been suppressed by Tang En, and there are some demons. I can't help but be complacent about the advantages.
Fortunately, the consequences of thinking this way are not bad. Xia Wei'an reminded the temple's top brass to be vigilant, but the temple's top brass thought they had guessed Tang En's purpose and directly wanted to take the opportunity to beat him to death!
The reason is also very noble. Can you talk about it? Talk nonsense! After suppressing us so miserably, do you think you are giving in? late! Just wait to die...that's roughly what it means.
But despite this, Xia Wei'an is still not optimistic about the temple's move this time. She knew Tang En extremely well. If she wasn't completely sure, how could he show up on his own initiative and obediently send the sheep into the tiger's mouth... It would be better to kill him at the door. What about the empty-level warriors and magisters before? I thought I could kill Tang En in one fell swoop, but in the end, I was completely overturned and almost the whole army was wiped out...
With this thought in mind, Xia Wei'an looked beyond Holy Light City to the north in the distance. You should be coming from this direction tomorrow. What kind of confidence gives you the courage to take the initiative to provoke me? I'm really curious...
Ha, I knew you were here as soon as I guessed it. With a chuckle, a figure jumped up to the roof of the side hall and walked over on the tiles.
Xia Wei'an didn't look surprised and said calmly: You should be attending the meeting in the main hall now, Owens. Although the temple's senior officials were very disdainful of Tang En, they were still very interested in how to kill him. So since receiving the news, Veron has summoned the temple masters every night to discuss countermeasures. Xia Wei'an and Owens, as the two sacred knights of the temple, were naturally invited, but their opinions were not taken seriously at all. In the past, they just gathered the number of people...
Tell me, what about you? Owens shrugged, and after approaching, he also sat down against the ridge of the roof, and sighed to Zangyue, If it were before, I, the real Holy Grand Knight Commander, would have some weight. But now that I’m with you, Archbishop Veron doesn’t like me.”
Xia Wei'an raised her eyebrows: You can also take refuge in the past now. You are not me. Archbishop Veron should choose to forgive you.
Well, it's better to say goodbye. Owens waved his hand quickly, Fools and double-dealers are the most unpopular. It's better to just go to the dark side.
Xia Wei'an smiled slightly when he heard this and said nothing. However, Owens came over and looked around seriously, then lowered his voice and said, Tell me, why did Tang En suddenly make such a move to seek death?
Sorry, I'd love to know too.
Really? Haha... stop pretending, there's no one here.
Huh? Xia Wei'an turned around and looked at Owens who had a look on his face that said, You tell me secretly and I promise not to tell anyone else. She frowned and asked, Should I know?
Of course, even if I don't kill you several times, who doesn't know about your relationship with that Tang En... Haha, I mean, who doesn't know that you and that Tang En are very familiar with each other. Looking at Xia Wei'an's suddenly serious expression, Owen Si Po laughed guiltily twice and changed his tune in time.
I don't know! Xia Wei'an said stiffly, then stood up and left. If you really want to know, just ask him tomorrow.
Are you kidding me? Although we have met each other a few times, I am going up here just because I am looking for death... Clicking his tongue, Owens looked at Xia Wei'an's back and lowered his voice and said, Besides, I'm not you……
After a slight pause, Xia Wei'an turned around by the eaves with a calm look on her face: Can't sleep?
Owens was startled. After observing that Xia Wei'an had no other expression, he said with peace of mind: Of course, when I think of what may happen tomorrow...
Xia Wei'an waved her hand to interrupt, expressionless: It's a coincidence that I can't sleep either. Why don't we go to the training ground to practice sparring? I heard that this will help with sleep.
Huh? Damn it, she heard it, her hearing is too abnormal... Owens's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. Are you kidding, fighting Xia Wei'an? This is not something that can't sleep for a whole night. It's clearly the rhythm of lying in bed for a month... Dahan waved his hand, Haha, what, I suddenly feel so sleepy...
Before Owens racked his brains to make up an excuse, Xia Wei'an had already jumped off the roof without looking back, but her faint voice still floated clearly in the wind: In five minutes, I will wait for you at the east training ground! If you don't Come...I know where your room is.
Opening his mouth, Owens looked blank. After a moment, he slapped himself: Damn it, you are so mean-mouthed, you are dead now... Lord God of Light, come and save me. Otherwise you will be the last to Devout believers, I’m going to see your old man...
