Chapter 70: Exchange of interests

"How could you know so clearly?" The assassin looked at me in surprise, obviously he also realized that his show-off had failed.

"President Zi Ri, why are you here?" One of the two cavalrymen who rushed to the front stopped beside me and asked. His question also happened to explain the assassin's problem, because the other party was obviously very familiar with me, so I knew that their organization was also normal.

Instead of looking at the assassin, I turned around and asked the cavalry, "Why did you run out?"

The knight immediately said in a very anxious voice: "That...is it! Lord Ditans found a stone of commandment, and then...!"

I reached out to stop her and continued. "Then you don't have to look for it anymore, the thing is here with me."

"Ah? What?" The knight was stunned for a moment, and then there was a riot between the cavalry behind her, and several of them pulled out their weapons. The knight only regained his calmness when the weapons were rubbed. She quickly turned around and scolded loudly, "Please put away the weapons for me. Have you ever purified your heads for the God of Light? Do President Zi Ri need to grab the precept stone? Are we going to send it to him if we get it?"

The cavalry then reacted and all dismounted and saluted to apologize to me. I waved casually and said that I didn't mind. The knight who led the lead jumped down and took off his helmet. I heard a surprise breath coming from behind. I knew that the knights had been thundered. The knights in front of me were not only famous women, but also beautiful and not as beautiful as humans. If it weren't for the fact that this armor didn't look like a fake, others might think that this was a fake. In fact, this person is strictly not considered a regular cavalry, because she is one of the personal bodyguards of Ditans. This time she was sent out because the thing she lost was too inspiring, so it was not convenient for ordinary people to come out to find it.

The female knight said to me with some embarrassment: "That... Lord Zi Ri, it's not that I don't believe in you, but you can let us take a look at the Stone of the Precepts?"

"It's okay. You can help me hold it first." I took out the precept stone from the Phoenix Dragon space and handed it to her.

The knight carefully took the stone of the precept with his trembling hands, and then excitedly handed it back. "Then that... President Zi Ri, you should take it first! We will be afraid of losing it again!"

I took back the precept stone without any mind and said, "You guys will go back with me now?"

"Well, that's of course. Since we found us, it would be meaningless to run out." The female knight seemed to have noticed the players behind me at this time. "Are these friends of President Zi Ri?"

"Oh, they are preparatory members waiting for the assessment. If they pass the test, they will be our official member."

"Oh, that's it! Then let's go together."

With the guardians of the Dark Temple, we soon returned to the Dark Temple. The ground leveling squad I brought was blocked by the guards. After all, they were not formal members of our guild and could not enjoy the same treatment as me, but the mage was very well taken care of. The biggest advantage of the Dark Temple over the Dark Temple is that it never puts airs on airs. All the service departments to the players are completely serving customers as God like profit stores. Any player who comes to go through the procedures will definitely realize how enthusiastic the Dark Temple's service is. In contrast, the opposite of the Dark Temple is that they usually treat themselves as God and negotiate with the players with airs. If they are slightly unsatisfied, they will punish you.

Under the leadership of the inner guard, we walked through the service area for ordinary players. The mage mm was also left here. The area behind was a secret part for the Dark Temple, and most people could never enter. As soon as I passed through the Foreign Affairs District, I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me. I remember that when I came to the ground last time, the Dark Temple gave people the feeling of a mixture of majesty and dignity, but now the building complex in front of me seemed to have just fought a war. The originally gorgeous black-bottomed gold walls are now full of large pieces of fall off everywhere, and many places even saw big holes that could see the sky. The ceiling that originally depicted myths is now like a screen. However, it feels that the sun is much more abundant than before.

I asked the inner guard who led me in surprise. "Isn't this the one who robs the precept stone?"

"Who else do you think can make me like this?" The answer was not the inner guard who led the way, but Ditans. Following the sound, I soon discovered Ditans standing in the yard outside. In fact, according to the relative position we are in now, I shouldn't see him, but at this time there was a big hole in the wall that could run a carriage. Ditans was able to stand outside and talk to me directly.

"Hehe, I bet you will definitely not be in the temple when you are robbed."

Ditans shook his head. "You guessed it wrong this time. Not only was I in the temple, but there were also a few friends here at that time. As a result...!"

"As it turned out to be stolen?" I asked in disbelief.

Ditans nodded. "I know you don't believe it, but this is the fact. My temple is not an ordinary stone building. Every inch of land here has been reinforced by magic for many years. The defense between us is definitely no less than that of ordinary city walls. But you also saw it! By the way, I just heard from my people that you found the Stone of the Precepts?"

I didn't need to hide Dytans, so I simply took out the precept stone in my hand. "Look at it, did you throw it away?"

Ditans teleported to me and reached out to snatch the precept stone in my hand. "Yes, yes, that's it. How did you get it?"

I took the Stone of the Precepts back from Ditans casually. "Do you still need to ask this? If the Stone of the Precepts was not robbed this time, wouldn't you have to hand it over to me?"

"Yes! I forgot! The ring of precepts is for you. It is useless to have the stone of precepts. Even if someone snatches it, it will still be sent to you! Why didn't I expect it?" Ditans seemed very regretful. He probably regretted that he had not sent anyone to me to intercept the people who sent the stone of precepts. But even if he sent it, it was useless. Because this time I took it to the Temple of Light, it was not sent to others.

I smiled and comforted Ditans: "You are concerned and confused. I am a bystander, so I can see clearly the whole story."

Ditans asked me excitedly: "But this precept stone was taken away from me, right?"

I reached out and stopped Ditans and continued. "You don't understand the rules. Don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

"But……"

"Nothing, but what has happened doesn't exist. But it doesn't happen. Yes, I do know that you found this precept stone, but so what? The one who handed me over to you in the end, can I still change the ownership of the precept stone at will? It's like a person's money was robbed, and the robber used the money to get a VIP card for the Leisure Center. Can you go to the Leisure Center and tell the Leisure Center that the money is yours and they want them to provide you with services.

Don't you have to serve the person who spends money? That's right. The money was indeed robbed by that person, but he was the one who spent money. As the transaction unit, he could only recognize the payment party. As for the origin of the money, should the merchant also check it? It would be better for these stores to change to private detectives. The same is true here. If the things are in my hands, it will be considered as the final determination. I believe that the things are yours, but I can't deprive others of ownership. Do you understand?"

Ditans squeaked his fingers in anger, but he finally pressed down. "What if I could let the robbers tell you?"

I shook my head. "It doesn't matter who is robbing. What's important is to hand over this stone of precepts to my people. If you can make the other party agree to the transfer authority, then I naturally have nothing to say. Don't say that this thing is yours, even if it's not yours, as long as you can let the other party nod and transfer it. That's no different from yours."

Ditans frowned and looked at me and said, "Why do you say it seems like I am the robber?"

I shook my head helplessly and patted Ditans on the shoulder. "My Lord God! You have been working as a Lord God for so many years, why don't you even understand this? Forget it, let me tell you clearly! In fact, it doesn't make any sense to make you reasonable or not. The key issue is your strength. As long as you can make the other party think that the price you need to pay for possessing this thing is far more than the benefits it can bring, then there will be no problem."

Ditans looked up at the roof of the room where he could see the white clouds and looked at the Heavenly Dao: "Then I only ask you for one thing."

"Do you want to know who stole you?" Ditans nodded. I thought for a while and then said, "In theory, I shouldn't tell you, but we are just relying on this little thing to make a living in the middlemen industry, so...!" My fingers rubbed in Ditans in time and made a general gesture in the world.

Ditans glanced at me, then immediately reached out to call an inner guard and said something to him and sent him away. "I've already taken the things. Let me tell me who robbed me?"

I frowned and said, "Since you were here during the robbery, and you were hitting the ground so much..." I reached out to signal the building complex. "You should always see something from the other party's way, right?"

"The opponent uses all the spiritual puppets. They can enhance their own strength during battle and change their attack methods. Moreover, after death, the body returns to normal, which is equivalent to having a life out of thin air. The most hateful thing is that the dead puppets will melt and cannot be kept any clues. In addition to the fact that the body's strength will permanently decrease after use, this spell is almost free of defects!"

"So you didn't see who was attacking you?"

Ditans nodded with certainty. "If I knew, what else I would ask you?"

"Then I'll be relieved!"

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Ah no! I mean, I'll be upset!" Huh, he was excited and told the truth! "That, Ditans! You know too. This... I can't tell you according to the rules. But since you gave the benefit fee, I can only let it go. But I won't tell you who it is."

Ditans was not stupid, and immediately nodded, "I understand your difficulties. You just need to tell me right or wrong as I said." Seeing me, Ditans said immediately, "According to my guess, there are only three families that attack me. One is the Temple of Light, the Second is the Temple of Liberty, and the Third is your Chinese Heaven."

"How do you think it's these three?"

"The Temple of Light and I are old opponents, so it is normal for them to attack me. As for the Temple of Liberty, I am sorry for this because of my reason, please forgive me for not being convenient for telling you."

"Where is that heaven? How do you think they are likely to commit crimes?"

"Didn't I guess right?" Ditans did not answer my question but asked excitedly if I guessed correctly. I shook my head. Ditans immediately said, "It was not done by Heaven? Is it the Statue of Liberty?"

I asked back intentionally: "Why don't you guess the Temple of Light that is the most likely?"

Ditans shook his head: "To be honest, I was indeed the first to think of the Temple of Light at first, but then I thought it seemed unlikely. Listing it as a post-select sequence was just a habitual idea that they were possible, but I didn't believe it very much."

I looked at Ditans with a lazy smile. "Oh? It's so strange that you actually have such an idea!"

"Actually, this is natural." Ditans explained: "The Temple of Light was indeed the most suspicious place, but when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong. If the Temple of Light had been nothing, the Temple of Light was no longer as good as before. Since the Temple of Light split, there has been little combat power. For the Temple of Light, the most urgent task is to develop and consolidate. I don't think they will do such a stupid thing as snatching things from me."

Huh! Ditans is really smart but is mistaken for being smart. He is a smart person, so he thinks that others are as smart as him. Unexpectedly, Philindill just did something that only an idiot would do. Of course, what he didn't expect was that I also participated in this blinding plan. After clearing his throat a little, I interrupted Ditans. "You have some reason to guess like this, but I can only tell you that none of these three are the correct answers."

"None of them?" Ditans frowned and thought for a long time before asking in a tentative voice: "If none of these three families are there, then only the Odin tribe and Christian people are left, otherwise would it be the people of Allah?"

I continued to shake my head. "Think about it again."

"This is not right? But only these gods can directly contact my sphere of influence! That means someone has launched a cross-border operation? But no gods can move in other gods' territories without being discovered?"

"Ah... aren't you usually very smart? Why are you confused again for a moment? Think about where is the base camp of your Dark Temple?"

"Of course it's..." Ditans suddenly stopped when he said this. "Are you saying that the other party came from the underworld?" Without waiting for me, Ditans immediately affirmed his answer. "Yes! Why didn't I expect it! The other party appeared so suddenly. There must be a special way to enter. It turned out that they came from the underworld, otherwise they were not discovered by the guards here. Yes! The forces close to me were very weak in control of the underworld, so they did not find the foreign gods crossing the border. But in the underworld, except for a few main settlement areas, there were monsters and an insurmountable sea of ​​silence, unless it was..."

Seeing Ditans's confirmation gaze to me, I nodded slightly and encouraged him to continue talking. Ditans immediately continued to analyze after receiving encouragement.

"Unless the other party has the boat of the Styx. That is to say, the other party is not a branch god, but a high-level god with a superior main god, and there are powerful median gods in charge of death. There are not many gods that meet this condition. You have clearly stated that it is not the Heavenly Court. So close and meet all the above conditions are only the Egyptian gods? The Egyptian gods are a huge god with all systems, and there are also high-level gods like the water god "Nu". Among them, the mummy gods, Anubis, instead of his father, the underworld god Osiris, is in charge of the underworld. He is absolutely strong enough to easily snatch the precept stone from me. That's right, all doubts can be met. But how did the Egyptian gods know that I have the precept stone?"

I shook my head: "First, this is what you guessed by yourself, I didn't say anything."

Ditans knew that I was disconnecting, so he nodded and said, "Yes. It's all I guess. You keep your promise very much and didn't tell me anything."

I continued, "Secondly, I don't know the question you just mentioned, because the person who gave me the Stone of the Precepts did not tell me how they knew that you had the Stone of the Precepts. You have to check this yourself."

"Understand, since you said that... Oh, your stuff has arrived." Ditans pointed at me and reminded me.

As soon as I turned around, I was startled. The inner guard who just now told me to get something and walked in with an iron chain. But the one behind the iron chain was not a monster, but a very weak and pitiful beauty Qianqian.

"Please, Ditans, you want me to be killed by Rose, right? I am very greedy, but I am not lustful!"

Ditans did not explain my question at all. Instead, he asked, "Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't know how to be polite?"

I shook my head. "You understand life very well. You can say that your taste among the gods I know is quite good."

"That's it. If I want to give you a beautiful woman, then they should walk into this room in translucent green gauze and dance snake dance to increase their value...!"

Hearing this, I reached out and stopped Ditans and continued. "Stop, I understand what you mean. Since you can tie it up with iron ropes, she is definitely not as simple as it seems. Can you ask who she is? Or what abilities she has?"

Ditans still did not answer my question directly, but instead changed the topic and asked me again: "Do you know Athena?"

"Athena, the goddess of war under the Odin tribe?" After I finished speaking, I pointed at the beauty in surprise and stared at Ditans and waited for his answer.

Ditans immediately laughed when he saw my expression. "Hahaha! Where do you want to go? Athena is a god of war. Do you think I can beat her?"

"Then you just asked me who Athena is?"

"I mean, she has a very important relationship with Athena."

"She is very familiar with Athena? Then I can't ask for it. Isn't this a beating? Forget it, you'd better tell me what her name is?"

Ditans smiled evilly, then put his head over mysteriously and whispered: "Her name is Victory."

"victory?"

Ditans frowned and said, "Switch off your translation."

"oh!"

Ditans spoke again: "Her name is Victoria."

"Victoria?"

"According to the ancient Roman pronunciation, it should be Victoria, and later it was directly borrowed by the English language department. The meaning was translated as Victory. But because her name was directly called Victory is easier to be confused with the adjective Victory, the European language department later evolved her name into the pronunciation Victoria."

"Wait, do you mean she is Victoria, the goddess of victory?"
To be continued...
