wTwo hours later, Chen Rui walked out of a certain hotel with satisfaction and tossed the bead chain of flame soul stones.
"Wait a minute..." After walking not far, the man behind him had already chased him.
"What, Clark?" Chen Rui looked surprised, "You still want to come? Are there any good things?"
"You're a fat guy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger!" the man yelled, "you've won all the uncle's belongings!"
"I originally wanted to leave after winning three times." Chen Rui looked innocent, "I didn't force you. You were so jealous of losing that you had to keep trying, but in the end you lost everything. I'm quite interesting, so why not?"
You kept these clothes, otherwise, you wouldn't even have your underwear."
Indeed, except for his clothes and the red headband, all the dingy bits and pieces on Clark's body were gone. He cursed: "Who knew you fat guy was so ruthless that you beat me thirty times in a row!"
"Can't you afford to lose?"
"Damn fat man, who can't afford to lose! You're cruel!" Clark glared at Chen Rui and said angrily: "This is the first time that Uncle Clark has lost so miserably. You don't look like that no matter what.
He is such an old antique, but he is so knowledgeable about ancient magic cards that have been almost lost. He is much better than that old guy! I still have some use for the Fire Soul Stone, so I can’t give it to you. The rest will belong to you because of my misfortune.”
"What I want is the Flame Soul Stone," Chen Rui shook his head, took out the rest of the fragments and threw them to Clark, "I'll give these back to you."
Chen Rui had a good impression of this guy. At least the gambling products were decent. He didn't rely on his strength to rob him.
Clark caught those things by surprise. Among these "bits and pieces" were quasi-legendary magic items such as the Wind Necklace and the Thunderbolt Ring. Their value was by no means lower than the Flame Soul Stone Bead String. This cunning fat man didn't look very powerful.
But he is a master of ancient magic cards. I don’t know if he has hidden his strength. At least, he should have the ability to identify treasures. Since the fat man can identify the flame soul stone, it is naturally impossible that he cannot identify the value of other things.
, but returned it so easily.
Clark chuckled: "Fat man, you are quite interesting. But I plan to give the Flame Soul Stone to a girl. Tell the truth, what is the use of it? If you are not in a hurry, just give it back to me first."
"A good friend of mine is in urgent need of fire crystals for his spiritual practice," Chen Rui, of course, would not tell the truth. "I ran all over the city and couldn't find any fire crystals. I heard that he was defeated by a priest earlier.
Lord Ryder has bought them all."
"So you have your mind set on my uncle's Fire Soul Stone?" Clark suddenly realized, "It's all that damn Clyde's fault for destroying all the fire crystals in the city in order to curry favor with the Archbishop!"
"You don't know? Phil, the Archbishop of the Royal Capital, arrived at Mirror City yesterday for inspection. Phil is a dual-element magic swordsman of light and fire. He has reached the edge of the saint level. He majors in fire... hum, gram
Ryder is just trying to please him, but Phil has always been frugal and upright, and not a womanizer, so Clyde's flattery will most likely backfire."
Only then did Chen Rui understand why Clyde did what he did. After the selection of the Temple Knights, there would be major changes in the personnel of the churches in various places, so Clyde seized the opportunity to please his immediate superiors. The same was true for Mana and Solandon back then.
.
Chen Rui looked puzzled: "This is not public news. How could a guy who cheats money by divination know so clearly?"
"Who said I was a liar?" Clark patted his chest: "I am an important member of the church!"
"Just you?" Chen Rui looked at Clark a few times, and checked the portraits posted on the roadside for missing persons and wanted criminals.
"Damn fat man. What's that look in your eyes?" Clark followed Chen Rui's gaze and jumped up immediately.
"We seemed to have met people from the church just now. Why didn't those people salute you, an important member?"
"I am a Knight of Light affiliated to the Holy Mountain of Light...well, a candidate for the alternate knight." Clark felt a little lacking in confidence, "I just came to Mirror City not long ago, so those little characters naturally don't know me."
Chen Rui is no stranger to the title of "Alternate Knight Candidate". With Clark's true strength, it is absolutely no problem to become a Paladin in the Holy Mountain. Chen Rui really doesn't believe what the Bright Knight says, this guy is more like
A wandering hermit practitioner.
"Okay, Mr. Candidate Knight of the Light Knight, I have to leave. I will lend you the Fire Soul Stone for two days and I will return it to you then. If you are still setting up a stall in the square instead of being a master in the Palace of Light,
, maybe we can have two drinks." Chen Rui ignored Clark and turned around to leave.
"Fat man! If you dare to lie to me, I will make you spit out the Fire Soul Stone even if you run away to the horizon! And there will be money for the drink!" Clark did not chase him this time. He watched the bloated figure disappear from sight and suddenly slapped his head.
, "Forgot to ask what this damn fat guy's name is!"
Clark's character is somewhat similar to that of a certain Widow Controller. He's a nice guy and worth getting to know. However, Chen Rui doesn't want to touch the Flame Soul Stone anymore. The so-called "borrowing" is just a cover to cover up his actions.
That's all, the real target is Phil and Clyde in the Temple of Light.
If Clyde wants to curry favor with Phil, he will definitely do what he wants and spare no effort in bribing him. If this vote is successful, there will be no need to buy fire crystals after arriving in the Starlight Kingdom.
At night, the Palace of Light seems very quiet, and the security is still tight. There are many Knights of Light patrolling back and forth. For Chen Rui, who has already been there during the day and has been in several Palaces of Light before, it does not take much effort to sneak in.
strength.
Due to the Black Death incident, churches everywhere are now on standby. In addition to strengthening their defenses on weekdays, all prayer halls are closed at night and various protective magic circles are activated. No one is allowed to enter without permission, otherwise they will be regarded as heretics and severely punished.
The time for Shura's rebirth has not yet come, and the "high-purity" faith obtained in the Holy Mountain is enough to transform the faith crystal, so Chen Rui does not need to steal the power of faith at the moment. What is a bit surprising is that he did not find that in the guest room where the VIPs live.
Archbishop Phil of the Royal Capital and Pastor Clyde were not in their rooms either.
It is said that Phil is frugal and upright and refuses all banquets. Chen Rui has been lurking in the dark from afternoon to night to observe and follow, and did not find Clyde or Phil going out. However, now both of them are actually in the Palace of Light."
"disappeared"?
Priest's meditation house. Basement level.
This underground floor is very spacious and brightly lit, reflecting the figures of the two men.
The man walking at the front is of middle age. He has a tall build, a pair of thick eyebrows, and a square and serious appearance. He is not angry and has no authority. He is Archbishop Phil of Loya. Followed by him is Pastor Clyde, the head of the Mirror City Church.
He is thin, has an ordinary appearance, and his eyes are a bit small. He narrows his eyes when he smiles, looking harmless.
The Archbishop of the Royal Capital is the leader of the church in the entire kingdom. He is directly appointed and dismissed by the Holy Mountain. For Clyde, he is definitely his immediate superior. Although he is one of his close confidants, he still dare not show any slightness and said respectfully: "Philippines
Sir, there is a batch of fire crystals here, which I seized from the suspects of the Black Death. It is contaminated with some dark power. Due to my lack of strength, I cannot purify it. I specially presented it to you, sir. Please return to the capital.
Finally, use the power of light to destroy these dark crystals."
Phil took the space ring handed over by Clyde and scanned it mentally. His eyes lit up and he nodded approvingly.
Clyde was secretly happy and said: "By the way, I also captured two Black Deaths this time. Please interrogate them in detail."
As he said that, Clyde opened the door on one side. Inside was a prison cell with various torture instruments hanging on it. Two "prisoners" were being shackled to the wall. These were two little prisoners.
The boy was only about ten years old, with handsome features and a thin body. His whole body was trembling like a wounded deer when he saw Clyde's appearance.
A burning light suddenly flashed across Phil's eyes: "Is it them?"
Clyde bowed and said: "Yes, it is a matter of confidentiality. Sir, I will take my leave first. Although these two Black Death disciples are young, their beliefs have been tainted. After your interrogation, your Excellency, they must eradicate the root causes and exempt them from punishment."
future trouble."
"You did a good job," Phil nodded slowly, his brows becoming more solemn: "I will remember your contribution. I am quite satisfied with your performance in Mirror City and will report it to the Holy Mountain in person."
Clyde was overjoyed, knowing that he was one step closer to the position of the King's Metropolitan Bishop, so he quickly bowed deeply and retreated.
After hearing the sound of Clyde leaving the underground floor and closing the door, Phil's square and stern face instantly became ferocious under the jumping lights. His beast-like eyes and twisted smile made him see this guy for the first time.
The two young men of the Archbishop sensed a greater crisis and were trembling and speechless.
This kind of panic became more intense as Phil took off his clothes one by one. Phil enjoyed the boy's frightened eyes very much and showed an evil smile. This look made it impossible to imagine the look on his face.
A solemn mask.
The real reason why this archbishop is not close to women is not to keep himself clean, but to his own sexual orientation. He likes young children, and they are boys. He has secretly murdered many innocent children over the years.
Due to the secretiveness of his methods, Phil was still the upright and honest archbishop who was not a womanizer in front of others. No one knew about it except a few close aides, and Clyde was one of them.
These two boys are definitely not Black Deaths, but are specially arranged by Clyde.
Just as Phil took off all his clothes and walked towards the prey step by step while shaking his ugly equipment, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. Before he could react, a terrifying murderous aura instantly enveloped him.
"Bang!" The light shook, and Phil's body was thrown out by a strong force and hit the wall hard. It was not serious, but the gem of a magic necklace around his neck was broken.
Phil was shocked. This guardian necklace has powerful defensive power. It was given by Patriarch Pusmir. In addition to increasing the attributes of spiritual power, it can also withstand a full blow from a saint-level strongman. Now it was attacked by someone.
Break into pieces!
"Flash Technique!"
Phil knew that he had encountered an invincible opponent, so he didn't bother to put on his clothes, and emitted dazzling light all over his body, just to delay his escape. However, the feeling of danger became more and more approaching, and even the hairs on his hair stood on end. Phil gritted his teeth,
The power of the fire element surged all over his body, and the entire prison was illuminated in red, and the strongest move was launched: "Light Refining Explosion Flame Burst!"
The red light suddenly disappeared, enough to extinguish the flames of molten metal in the palm of a hand.
When Phil saw the hand clearly, he heard the sound of his neck being broken in the next second. His consciousness instantly fell into darkness, and his whole body went limp like a dead dog.
Chen Rui's figure gradually became clearer in the prison. He took off several space rings on Phil's fingers and used his mental power to explore them. He was slightly surprised. It seemed that the harvest from this trip was much greater than imagined.
He put the ring in the storage space and looked at the ugly corpse on the ground. He suddenly thought of the child molestation case of a certain church priest that he had heard about in his previous life. He became even more angry and stepped on the head of this sanctimonious archbishop.
"The ground exploded with a sound.
Soon, Chen Rui and the two rescued boys quietly escaped from the meditation house under the cover of night.
After avoiding the bright knights patrolling along the way, they marched carefully. However, when they were about to approach the square, Chen Rui suddenly stopped, put down the two boys, whispered a few instructions, and walked slowly forward alone.
Walk slowly.
"Come out." Chen Rui said lightly.
The square that was originally illuminated by only the moonlight suddenly became brightly lit, and a large number of knights of light quickly appeared in front of them, but Chen Rui turned a blind eye to those people and only focused on three people.
The first one turned out to be an acquaintance, a man with a red turban, a slovenly appearance, and many broken things hanging on his body - the man who met the magic card fortune teller during the day: Clark!
The other woman was wearing dark silver full-body armor. She was slender, had purple hair and black eyes, and was beautiful. She was holding a spear in her hand.
The third one is a tall and muscular man with darker skin, bulging muscles, and extremely sharp eyes. Below his right elbow is a giant bronze metal arm, as if the arm has been enlarged several times.
The strength of these three people is all Demon Emperor level, Clark and the woman are S, and the strong man is S.
Chen Rui could see that unlike the cardinals and others who were pampered in the Holy Mountain, these three people were all hardened warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. Their real combat power was probably not inferior to that of the Glory Sword Saint Pasari.
Clark took a few steps forward, looked at Chen Rui a few times, and asked hesitantly: "Are you... fat?"
At this time, Chen Rui had changed into another person. Unexpectedly, he was still recognized by Clark. He could have denied or refused to answer, but after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"It's really you..." Clark's expression was a little strange, as if he had a bit of regret and a bit of determination.
Chen Rui frowned: "This morning... was it a trap?"
It was Chen Rui who approached Clark on his own at that time, and after a battle of magic cards, he developed a desire to make friends. Who would have thought that it was actually a well-designed trap?
Clark shook his head: "No, I didn't receive an emergency summons at that time. I just guessed that you would go to the church to get fire crystals, and I didn't want to stop you. It wasn't until I received the summons in the afternoon and saw the image of the enemy coming from
, then I realized that the fat man I met in the morning was actually the Black Death who sneaked into the Holy Mountain and almost destroyed the Holy Tree!"
"I'm not a Black Death," Chen Rui smiled calmly: "I just found out that you are really from the Holy Mountain, your Excellency the candidate for the Knight of Light?"
"Actually, I am from the Holy Mountain..." Krall's eyes gradually became sharp, like a sharp blade unsheathed: "Saint." To be continued m
