Chapter 238 Commission from the Holy Church
"If I hadn't known that I really didn't do it, I would have thought it was really me."
Sitting in the carriage, Zhan looked at Enoa in front of him with a helpless expression, and then complained. When hearing his complaint, Enoa smiled slightly and didn't say much. She knew very well that Zhan
En was just venting his dissatisfaction. In fact, it was no wonder that Zhan En was so depressed, because the development of the situation was beyond Zhan En's expectation.
After Alexander escaped, Zhan originally planned to rely on Soros not knowing about the matter and blackmail him with nothing. As long as he got the thing, Zhan would not be afraid even if the truth was exposed. But before he could pay
During these actions, an accident happened - for some unknown reason, Alexander's escape from the Templar Order was actually leaked out!
For a time, this became the most sensational news in the entire Huafu, even Passus, and even the Eagle Plateau. You must know that it was the Holy Church! There are still people who can escape from their prison? What kind of situation is this?
?The Holy Church is also very powerful in the Eagle Plateau. Now it can actually let people escape from their prison. Could it be that a more terrifying cult organization has formed in the Eagle Plateau? Or maybe the devil's followers are planning to launch one?
Attacked?
Everyone was talking about it for a while, and the pressure on the Holy Church suddenly increased greatly. They couldn't figure out how this matter was leaked. Because not many people really knew about Alexander's escape, except at that time
Apart from the holy guards of the Temple Order's prison, only the higher-ups of the prison, and beyond that, only Bishop Howard. Nadia and Zhan knew about this.
From the perspective of suspicion, Zhan is naturally the biggest one. In fact, some people in the Templar Order suspect that he deliberately leaked information because he was unhappy with Alexander's escape and put pressure on the order - for which Zhan En had no idea.
Even if he scoffed, he still expected to use this news to blackmail Soros. How could he be stupid enough to tell others about it?
All in all, after this incident spread to the outside world, the Holy Church was also in a state of distress. On the one hand, they wanted to appease the people, and on the other hand, they also wanted to minimize the impact of this incident. But this is not
An easy thing. Because after the Soros family learned the news, they immediately sent people to ask what happened to the Templar Order. They even accused the Templar Order of colluding with Zhan, openly and secretly, and used the excuse of Alexander's disappearance. In fact, it was
Execute him secretly!
Faced with such an obvious accusation, Zhan naturally would not ignore it. On the contrary, faced with the Soros family's accusations, he directly cursed and named the suspects who suspected that the Soros family sent someone to rescue Alexander by some dishonorable means.
.And he bluntly pointed out that the Soros family must have secretly colluded with some cults, and that Alexander might be an important figure in the cult, so he was rescued. Based on this, the entire Soros family should be
Conduct a thorough inventory!
Neither party is easy to mess with. At this time, they are even more at odds with each other. Therefore, whether it is Zhan or the Soros family, sparks are flying and a fight is about to begin. And the entire upper class is also in a row.
Yes, due to the problems between the Soros family and Zhan, Alexander's escape, and the deterrent power of the Templar Order...etc., etc., these things have become a mess. It can be said that in the current Eagle Plateau, what was originally
The already confusing situation became even more confusing. It was as if a person walked into a noisy market area, and except for the "buzzing" noise in his ears, it was almost impossible to understand things.
That's why Zhan said, "If I didn't know that I really didn't do it, I would have thought it was really me." Because making a mess of a situation and profiting from it is what Zhan has always been best at.
, to be sure, if this time it was not related to his own interests, Zhan really wouldn't mind selling his teammates once.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, it is really not him who did it this time!
Zhan and Enoa already had a consensus as to who had revealed it. When the Templar Order was still conducting internal searches like fools, he and Enoa had already come to a conclusion - who could save the person?
Alexander, then who spread the information. The reason is very simple. There are only a few people who know about this matter, except for his own side, so naturally they are the parties involved. The guards will not talk nonsense if they think it is embarrassing, but the fugitives will
Only God knows if he can talk nonsense. Moreover, since the other party was able to get Alexander out without alerting the Holy Church, it means that he is also a powerful being. The only thing I don't know now is whether the other party's purpose for doing this is himself or not.
Soros, or the Templar Order. Because of this incident, the three parties have suffered a considerable blow. Zhan has to face the accusation that he and the Templar Order "complicitly" secretly killed Alexander (but for Zhan En
This does not count at all), and the Soros family is also busy explaining to their allies that they have no relationship with the cultists, let alone entrusting the cultists to save Alexander... As for the Templar Order, they are also eager to appease the people
, indicating that this was just an accident, everything in the Holy Church was as usual, and those evil shadows were still trembling under the sacred light...
One black and three black, this technique can be said to be extremely proficient and skillful.
Zhan En always felt that this method was a bit familiar. He was sure that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, he was sure that the person who did such a thing was definitely a demon, otherwise he would not have been able to do it.
There will be an impression.
But now he is not looking for the culprit.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the tall church door. Zhan opened the door and stepped out of the carriage. He glanced at the white, pointed church tower in front of him - Zhan had no special feelings for the church. As a demon,
Of course, it was impossible for him to go to the church to worship and pray, but this time Zhan En had to come. After all, it was also related to his future.
"I have to admit that as a bishop, you are still very good at alarmism, Lord Bishop Howard."
Walking into the spacious and bright hall, he looked at the old man wearing a white priest's robe with gold trim. Zhan said sarcastically, and when he heard his complaint, Bishop Howard just smiled helplessly. In fact, he
I also know that Zhan is actually a very lazy person and does not go out unless necessary. The reason why he was willing to come to the church this time was because Bishop Howard conveyed a message to Zhan through Nadia and needed to have a confidential conversation with him.
, and this information——is related to Zhan En’s future on the Eagle Plateau.
But whether this is an artistic exaggeration or a fact is another matter.
Enoa did not enter the church with Zhan. Although as a high-level undead creature, Enoa has a certain degree of resistance to the church. At least on weekdays, she looks no different from ordinary people. But she is still immortal after all.
Creatures. Just like some people hate the smell of disinfectant water in hospitals even though they are not sick. Enoa, as an undead creature, is naturally insensitive to the sacred atmosphere in the church. So she did not follow Zhan En in.
, but chose to wait for his master on the carriage.
"Okay, anyway, here I come. Lord Bishop."
Looking at Bishop Howard, Zhan stretched out his hand to push up his glasses and said.
"If you have something to tell me, you can just say it. Let me guess, are there another group of stupid guys who memorize holy books and suspect that I gave them problems? If their IQ
If it is really that low, please ask them to provide evidence. I have no interest in standing on the altar and being questioned by a group of imbeciles..."
"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhan, I didn't come to you this time for such boring things."
Hearing Zhan's words, Howard showed a helpless wry smile. He had to admit that Zhan was also not popular in the Holy Church for some reason - just what he said just now had already offended quite a few people.
People.
"In fact, the Holy Church has realized that this matter has nothing to do with you. We think the enemy may be outside. Of course, so far, we don't know who they are, but I think it won't be long before they will
Showing his true form.”
Having said this, Bishop Howard paused for a moment, then looked at Zhan and spoke again.
"In fact, I invited you here this time because I hope you can accept the commission from the Holy Church."
"Commission?"
Hearing this, Zhan En raised his eyebrows.
Being a knight is an honor, but it is also a responsibility. Zhan has received benefits from the Templar Order, so naturally he has to pay something. Of course, this is not only Zhan, but also the responsibility of all knights. But to put it bluntly, it is
When the Templar Order needs them to "save the world", they will come to invite these decorated nobles to help. But this time, it seems that the Templar Order will find something to do for themselves.
"No doubt about it."
Looking at Zhan's expression, Bishop Howard had already guessed what Zhan was thinking.
"This is what the Holy Church wants to do to keep you away from this whirlpool for the time being... The Soros family's accusations are giving us a headache. At this juncture, we don't want more mistakes to happen..."
In fact, without Bishop Howard's explanation, Zhan already understood that the Templar Order would take advantage of this moment to issue a commission for themselves. The Soros family's accusations gave the Templar Order a headache, and their confidence seemed to be weakened after knowing that Alexander disappeared.
He has learned a lot, and his attitude towards Zhan En is becoming more and more tyrannical. And Zhan En is not the kind of good-tempered person. In fact, he has almost prepared an army, waiting for the time to come and kill the Soros family completely.
Clean it up. Naturally, the Templar Church did not want to see such a trigger, so they simply sent Zhan away and then dealt with the Soros family themselves. Not only that, the Templar Church's influence on James
En's protection will be more justifiable - after all, the other party has gone to "save the world" for himself, so isn't it natural for the Holy Church to support Zhan En?
Bishop Howard didn't go into too much detail, but just stopped there, but Zhan understood what he meant very well. Obviously, this was also a good thing for Zhan.
"All right."
Although he was more eager to taste the blood of the Soros family, Zhan appeared to be at least a knight with a sense of justice, so he just hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"If it is a commission entrusted to me by the Holy Church, then I will naturally spare no effort to complete it."
"I knew you would accept it, Mr. Zhan."
After hearing Zhan's answer, Bishop Howard also showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"In fact, our Holy Church is currently facing two troubles... It is precisely because we are short of manpower that we need your assistance, Mr. Zhan. Of course, you only need to help us solve one of them."
"Two troubles?"
Hearing this, Zhan reached out his hand and pushed up his glasses again, a light flashing in his eyes.
"Tell me and listen."
"OK."
Facing Zhan's words, Bishop Howard nodded, and then quickly explained.
"The first commission is to ask Mr. Zhan to take people to the Western Wilderness to investigate the mysterious events that occurred in the Golden City. There seems to have been an attack by undead creatures, and now the entire Golden City has been completely lost to the outside world.
Contact us, we have also sent people to investigate, but there is no news at all."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhan En raised his eyebrows, but deep down in his heart, he had already given up the commission. Just kidding, the Golden City was originally his territory, and now the Templar Order wants Zhan En to lead his operations.
The unit is going to deal with his territory. Zhan will have to be very sophisticated before he agrees to accept this commission.
"As for the other trouble... it's about the trouble between Casalans and the Principality of Valkyrie in the border area. I heard that Casalans and Valkyrie were at war. During this period, Casalans
A very strange and powerful plague suddenly broke out. Now the entire area has been surrounded by the disease. In order to solve this trouble as soon as possible, we need to send people to the warring areas between Casalans and the Principality of Valkyrie to thoroughly investigate this matter.
thing."
"This is quite interesting..."
Hearing the name of Valkyrie Principality, the corners of Zhan's mouth curled up slightly. He did not expect that he would be involved with this country again under such circumstances.
But…………plague…………
Thinking of this, Zhan rolled his eyes, then raised his head and looked at Bishop Howard.
"I would like to go to Casarance."
Then, Zhan En spoke. (To be continued...)
