"The church sent a spy?"

Enoa put down the letter in her hand and looked at Zhan En with slight surprise.

"Is it really okay to do this, Master?"

"This has nothing to do with me."

Facing Enoa's question, Zhan, who was leaning on his chair, gave a boring answer.

"If the Templar Order wants to follow the established procedures, let them go. Anyway, I don't want to get involved in those boring rules and fool around with those rigid paladins and priests. For me,

Just wait until those idiots make a mess and then end it."

As he spoke, Zhann reached out and picked up the tea cup placed next to him. Of course he knew why the Holy Church did not ask him to go with him. In any case, Zhann's identity was still a local lord, and it would be dangerous to get too involved.

It may make people feel that the Holy Church is looking for reasons to deal with the nobles. In any case, the Holy Church is still a third-party organization, and the superficial fairness cannot be lost. If Zhan intervenes and gives others a kind of Holy

If the Holy Church helps one party deal with the other party's illusion, it will also be a blow to the prestige of the Holy Church. Therefore, although the Holy Church accepted Zhan's opinion, it did not take him to act together. However, in this regard, Zhan

En doesn't care, he knows that no matter what, the Soros family will never surrender. And as long as he dares to resist, he will inevitably have a head-on conflict with the Templar Order. And now what Zhan En has to do is

Watch the show leisurely and comfortably, and then come out to clean up the spoils after both parties have fallen into the quagmire.

As he spoke, Zhan opened the dungeon's system and looked at the current situation. After the dungeon's sphere of influence increased, the rate of increase in experience points also increased. But it was still not enough. So far, the distance from the sixth-level dungeon is

There are still nearly 50,000 experience points left vacant, and Zhan is not surprised by this. After all, reality is not a game. It is impossible to continuously refresh adventurers to gain experience for you. Frankly speaking, in such a short period of time, the dungeon can actually

Absorbing 50,000 experience points is enough to surprise Zhan... huh?

At this moment, Zhan En suddenly raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes quickly stopped on a certain value.

"Enoia, what's the situation over there in the Golden City?"

There was a reason why Zhan En asked this, because when he called up the dungeon system, he suddenly discovered that during the past period, the Golden City alone had contributed 33,000 experience points. Considering the amount of experience points there,

The [Cultist] itself has absorbed nearly half of the experience points, which means that the Golden City has absorbed more than 60,000 experience points in total. These experiences are not worth mentioning in the game, but they are very rare in reality. Half of them

For example, an ordinary person who dies in a dungeon can only contribute 1 experience point. However, well-trained soldiers and adventurers will contribute 10 to 100 experience points depending on their strength. Only those at the legendary level can contribute

Only after death will they contribute thousands of experience points. For example, the old mage Zhan killed in Parsus and the unlucky guy Alexander, the former contributed 5,000 experience points, and the latter contributed 3,500 points.

Experience - It seems that the system also knows that Alexander is unreliable, so it casually gives him 3,000 experience points to get rid of the problem.

Even if each person is given an average of 100 experience points, it means that hundreds of people have died in the Golden City. And these people are not ordinary passers-by. 100 experience points are calculated based on the strength of Klein Continent.

It should be the master level. At this level, in the army, it is still the first level of squadron leader, and among adventurers, it can be the same as the leader in "The Goblin and the Treasure Box". Zhan En is not surprised that those adventurers would

He sacrificed his life for the treasure. But if it was a regular army, then this loss meant that at least an army of thousands of people had attacked the Golden City.

Although the "Cultist" enchantment unit is said to have first-class defensive capabilities and is definitely of the type that has its life in and out. But a force that can mobilize an army of thousands of people to attack the Golden City needs to be carefully considered.

"City of Gold?"

Hearing Zhan's question, Enoa thought for a moment and then quickly answered.

"Miss Elise and Miss Sofina did report before, saying that an army tried to attack the Golden City, but ultimately returned without success."

"Do you know the origin of the other party?"

"It seems to be an army from Ruist."

The city of stormy winds.

Hearing this name, Zhan En raised his eyebrows.

"It seems that the Ten-Town Alliance finally couldn't help but take action... Do you know who specifically attacked the Golden City?"

"I'm not very sure about this, because they were not able to break through the barrier, so the reports from Miss Elise and Miss Sofina were not very detailed."

In response to Zhan's question, Enoa shook her head.

"But...if the master is interested, he can go and check it out in person."

The light of transmission flickers and disappears.

When Zhan came to the Golden City again, he found that the place had completely changed. Looking around, the whole city was covered in gray. Those huge buildings were covered with thick volcanic ash, and the sky was covered with dust.

The ground was almost a dull white. The city was silent, like a cemetery.

"Lord Zhann!!"

Seeing Zhan's appearance, Elise also hurriedly lifted up her skirt and ran towards him happily. After snatching the Staff of the Ring, the vampire eldest lady stayed in the Golden City to take care of him who was still unconscious at the time.

Red Dragon Princess Sofina. After that, Zhan En did not give Elise any new appointment for the time being, but just asked her to continue studying and conducting spell research in the library. For such a life, Elise was quite happy.

She was satisfied, but not being able to see Zhan En made her feel a little lonely. At this moment, seeing Zhan En's arrival, Elise was naturally quite happy.

Not far behind her, Sofina was also standing there quietly. The red dragon princess was as taciturn as ever, and she didn't look like a red dragon at all. But the difference from before was that at this moment, her hands were tightly

Holding a spear as bright as fire—it was a weapon called the Fire Staff that evolved from the Staff of the Ring. According to Elise, it seemed that Sofina had been holding it ever since.

It has never let go. As for the purpose of that spear, only a genius knows.

"How's it going? Elise, is everything okay?"

Glancing at the girl in front of him, Zhan En asked. And upon hearing Zhan En's question, Elise nodded hurriedly.

"Of course, everything went well, Master Zhan. After that, many people came and tried to attack the Golden City, but they were all completely wiped out. I have asked the goblins to loot all the valuables on them. The clothes they wore

Armor and weapons have also been remade."

"here you go."

After hearing Elise's answer, Zhan nodded with satisfaction. Then he looked around and asked.

"I heard that you were attacked by the Ten Towns Alliance before?"

"Yes, Master Zhan."

After saying this, Elise's expression became much more serious.

"These enemies are really tricky. They seem to have discovered the secrets of the Golden City. They almost broke through the protection of the [Cultists] several times, but fortunately, they failed in the end."

"Mainly who?"

"There are some priests and paladins of the Templar Order, mostly from the Church of the Eye of Truth. In addition to this, there are the regular troops of the Ten Towns Alliance, and a small number of adventurers. According to our investigation, the Ten Towns Alliance seems to have begun

Recruit adventurers to fight together with their armies in an attempt to completely take back the Golden City. If this continues, it may become a bit tricky."

Speaking of this, Elise couldn't help but show a worried look. Although in addition to [Cultists], the Golden City also had the undead army and aliens awakened by Enoa, but Elise knew very well that with the opponent's

Strength, if it breaks through the shackles of the [Cultists], then the remaining undead armies and aliens will not be able to resist for too long. This also makes Elise always appear frightened when the opponent attacks, for fear that one of them will accidentally be attacked by the opponent.

Breakthrough. But fortunately, the [Cultist] barrier is really powerful. Those who have the ability to persist to the end either have a mental breakdown and commit suicide, or they are completely desperate and choose to escape into the abyss of death.

However, it won't work if we continue like this. The enemy is getting stronger and stronger, and it's simply not enough to just passively take a beating on our side. If we don't increase our strength, just relying on [Cultists] to defend here has a certain limit.

Of course, Zhan En also noticed this. Although the cultists are powerful, they are only among the top three in the dungeon system, and there are not many adventurer teams that can defeat the [cultists], although I don’t know if there are any in the game in reality.

The enemies on the highest difficulty level are so vicious, but considering the current situation, Zhan must make changes.

"Lord Zhanen, should we strengthen our defense? I suggest that we transfer some of my people and dark elves from the Underdark Region here. I think they will be able to help us defend the Golden City."

"This is indeed a solution."

Zhan nodded in response to Elise's words.

"But now, I am not here just to strengthen the defense of the Golden City."

“You mean………………?”

After hearing Zhan's answer, Elise was stunned for a moment.

"Since the Ten Towns Alliance has decided to launch an attack on us, we must be prepared to completely resist... It is not enough to be beaten passively, so..."

Speaking of this, Zhan En's lips slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.
