Lald didn't know why the Seventh Elder of the Illuminati was looking for Xu Jun, but he knew that it wasn't anything good.

He wasn't familiar with the Seventh Elder, but he had heard of his actions.

The Seventh Elder wasn't considered young in the Elder Council, and he was even older than the Third Elder. However, the people behind him had been promoted one by one, and he was the only one who hadn't been promoted.

The positions of the Elders in the Elder Council weren't randomly arranged. This position represented the right to speak and the status of the Elders.

The First Elder was the one with the highest position. In the Elder Council, he had the final say. In recent years, the Second Elder had also developed his own forces and gradually started to fight against the First Elder. Both of them came from relatively large families, and their relationships in the Snow Blade Kingdom and the Golden Banner were complicated. It was difficult to determine who was better.

The Third Elder used to be very ambitious, but after disappearing for a period of time two months ago, he became a coward when he returned.

After falling seriously ill, he made a lot of jokes. It was said that he was frightened by a flock of geese that passed by the entrance of the church last month.

The Seventh Elder's name was Laikin Zhuke. The Zhuke Family could only be considered a second-rate family in the Golden Banner. Elder Laikin didn't have the support of his family. When he entered the Illuminati, he didn't receive any help from his family. Instead, he hooked up with someone — the current Prophet Elder, an old man who hadn't appeared in public for many years and hadn't made any effective prophecies.

The Prophet Elder came from the Snow Blade Kingdom — the royal family of the Snow Blade Empire at that time. In terms of seniority, he was the uncle of the current King of the Snow Blade Kingdom, Essenmeer. He had also been the First Elder for a period of time. That was several decades ago, when many internal conflicts in the Snow Blade Empire hadn't erupted. The Dark Demon King Roschinke hadn't reappeared, and the Snow Blade Empire maintained a superficial prosperity.

There was also the stunning First Prince Ryan …

After that, Prince Leon went missing. There were some conspiracy theories about his disappearance. For example, he might have gone missing to fight for the throne. After all, the royal nobles usually did such things. The Snow Blade Empire was downgraded to a kingdom, and its strength was greatly reduced. Moreover, for some unknown reason, Elder Leon went crazy and was unable to appear in official situations. Naturally, he could not become the First Elder.

He didn't have any ambition or strategy to begin with. Later on, he was removed from his position by the current First Elder and 'retired in peace'.

The Illuminati's speed of changing dynasties was comparable to that of the human empires. Driven by the desire for power, the clergy's behavior was no better than that of the human nobles.

When Elder Prophet stepped down, Elder Lai Jin, who was the current Seventh Elder of the Elders Council, was involved.

In the beginning, he relied on Elder Prophet to become rich. Later on, he relied on Elder Prophet to climb up the ranks. His behavior was very shameful.

This guy was also very good at sucking up to others. He acted as if he was following the current First Elder, making it difficult for others to touch him. The First Elder didn't want to give himself a bad reputation of getting rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness. Therefore, he let Lai Jin stay in the position of the Seventh Elder.

Elder Lai Jin didn't have any real power, but he had a lot of face. He put on airs outside and used various methods to intimidate others.

However, he was very smart. Every time he acted arrogantly and offended people, he would bring up the First Elder. He also put on a loyal face. This made people more disgusted with him, but also more afraid of him.

Larde looked down on Elder Lai Jin. Not only did he look down on Elder Lai Jin, but he also looked down on Elder Lai Jin's family.

A hundred years ago, this family was a nouveau riche. They made money from the war. Just this point alone was enough to make people unable to raise their heads.

The family had a short history and could be considered to have no foundation. The education of the children in the family was also very problematic. Everyone who came out of the family was used to sucking up to others, stepping on those who were weaker than them to flatter those who were stronger than them. They were the inferior versions of Elder Lai Jin.

Larde patted his brother Ska's head and smiled at Xu Jun. "As soon as I entered Mundama City, I heard that Hero Xu Jun had done many things that attracted people's attention. You broke the Thule Society's conspiracy … It seems that your reputation will be able to take another step forward."

Xu Jun nodded hypocritically and tried to smile as well as he could. "I can't help it. I don't have a family or an organization. I can only rely on myself to make a name for myself."

His meaning was very clear. The more famous he was, the harder it would be for the Illuminati to touch him. It wasn't necessarily the absolute truth that people were afraid of fame and pigs were afraid of being fat.

Now, instead of worrying about what the Seventh Elder would do in the future, it was better to think about his own arrangements for the route from Mundama City to the Holy City of Randal.

Two children ran out from the street. It was Lodina and Lily. They were now wearing clean linen clothes. It wasn't good. It was made of ordinary cloth donated by the nobles in the city, but it was still much better than what they originally wore.

"Uncle Xu Jun!

Uncle Xu Jun!

Are you leaving?

Grandpa said that he would give you fur … and Rance jerky to eat! "

Lodina added, "The jerky is made of big rats that were pulled out from the rat hole. It's very fat!

And I even took out two copper coins from the rat hole!

Uncle Xu Jun, you're right!

There really is treasure in the rat hole! "

Larde and Ska's faces turned pale when they heard the word 'rat'.

Weak nobles.

The Seventh Elder, Laigin Zhu Ke, sat upright in the carriage. His face was very pale.

According to the rules, as the Seventh Elder, he could only sit in a golden oak carriage. The outside was coated with a layer of golden paint. It looked dignified and glorious, but he didn't expect that there were so many termites in the South that the interior of his carriage was corroded. Now, he could see the termites crawling around in the carriage.

He had never been to such a far place before, so he wasn't prepared.

He thought that the South and the North were the same, but when he came here, he saw groups of termites, egg-sized cockroaches with wings, and fat and slippery rats in the city. He … he felt very uncomfortable. _ (: 3. ∠) _

This world was too scary!

Why did he have to go to such a backward and poor place to suffer?

And that Mundama City … Wasn't that just a market in the South?

Fortunately, he still remembered what he was here for. The Holy City had always been talking about the deal between the Hero Xu Jun and the Illuminati's Holy Son Deinister … Cough, cough, they were friends.

In short, everyone knew that Xu Jun was on the Pope's side, and Xu Jun claimed that he had killed the Demon King.

The bards played a very good role in promoting this matter. No one thought that the bards, who had no power and influence, would be so powerful in promoting public opinion.

The masses believed whatever they heard, and they didn't have much ability to distinguish between right and wrong.

So now, the dirty water on Xu Jun's head could not be avoided. At the same time, the basin of dirty water was on the heads of Deinister and the Pope, waiting for someone to overturn them.

Now, most people felt that the bards were chasing after the Hero Xu Jun, and they were giving him flattery. His reputation was rising day by day, and it quickly spread from Randal. Now, the northern part of the Golden Banner was spreading the legend that the Hero Xu Jun had killed the Dark Demon King.

The most important thing now was to capture Xu Jun.

As long as Xu Jun confessed, everything would be easy.

As for his unwillingness to surrender … it was useless. The fact that the Dark Demon King was not dead would be easily exposed. With the Demon King's arrogant character, if he knew that such a rumor had appeared in the Human Empire, how long could the Hero Xu Jun live?

Moreover, when people found out that the Demon King was still alive, public opinion would immediately pressure Xu Jun. They might even force him to challenge the Demon King. Who would be willing to do such a thing?

Deinister kept saying that Xu Jun was very brave, and that he had really killed the Demon King. That half-crazy Elder Prophet also said that the Hero had killed the Demon King. But now, it was proven that it was fake!

No one would do such a suicidal and unrewarding thing!

At that time, no matter what Xu Jun did, it would be wrong. He would realize how strong the power of the people was … But all of this was on the premise that he could successfully bring Xu Jun back and make him stay in the Holy City. That way, he wouldn't be able to escape if something happened.

When he saw the Hero … he would definitely torment him!

That way, all the suffering he had suffered along the way would be worth it!

The Seventh Elder Lajkin-Zhu thought fiercely.

When he lowered his head, he saw a termite crawling on the pastry box on the stool in front of him. Elder Lajkin-Zhu wanted to vomit again.

However, he didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Another group of people from the Illuminati was rushing towards Mundama City. The leader was His Majesty Pope Decca's Guardian Knight, Gal-Karst. Gal-Karst's target was the Hero Xu Jun.

He also didn't know that the public opinion in Randal City was quietly changing. After the Pope discovered the movements of the Elder Council, he used his network to investigate Xu Jun's current location and what he had done recently.

He really did find him. Thus, the news of Xu Jun bravely fighting the fallen Bishop of Mundama City was secretly spread to Pope Decca's ears. However, the Elder Council knew nothing about it.

Although spreading the news of what happened in Mundama City wasn't good for the Church's reputation, as the Bishop of the Church had betrayed the God of Light and joined the embrace of darkness … This was definitely a stain on the Church's reputation. However, this Bishop was on the Elder Council's side. Back then, he was also under the Seventh Elder's command. The Seventh Elder and the First Elder had such a relationship. Pulling out a carrot would bring mud with it. This might be a good thing for the Pope.

In these two years, the First Elder had been suppressing the Second Elder quite well. He was slowly sitting on top of the First Elder and began to use all his strength to fight against outsiders. Pope Decca had tolerated him for a long time.

The so-called politics was just stepping on one and lifting another.

Now that there was a great opportunity to suppress the First Elder, why wouldn't he do it?

Pope Decca told this matter to Deinister. This child looked calm and proper, but he was still a little impatient. When he heard that Xu Jun had done such a big thing in Mundama City, he jumped around excitedly. "I knew it!

Xu Jun is amazing!

Ow ow ow!

This reminds me of the days when we were fighting stray dogs in the orphanage! "

Pope Decca had a helpless look on his face. "… When I first met you, didn't you say that you liked small animals?"

Deinister laughed foolishly.

Pope Decca was also very clear about his true nature. Deinister was never a good child who was naive and sweet.

But this was good. If he was really full of love, pure and kind, then he wouldn't be able to be the Holy Son.

Deinister wanted to immediately fly to Mundama City and return to Randal with Xu Jun to properly show off, but his adoptive father, the Pope, sternly rejected this idea.

His Majesty the Pope said that Deinister wasn't steady enough and that his personality was too jumpy, so he wasn't suitable for this kind of thing.

Moreover, as the Holy Son, he had to bear the responsibility of being a mascot. If he disappeared so casually, as long as the elders weren't idiots, they would know that they were making a move.

But the Guardian Knight Gort was only one of the Pope's seven Guardian Knights, so he wasn't eye-catching.

Deinister was very sad and said that when Xu Jun came back, he must eat barbecue with him a few more times to express his longing for him.

The Seventh Elder didn't receive any instructions from the Elders, so he didn't know that there was a group of people following behind him.

The third thing he didn't expect was the attitude of the Dark Demon King Roschinke towards Xu Jun.

Who would have thought that these two people who were supposed to be like fire and water … actually had such an "ambiguous" relationship that they had to use bone birds to send messages from thousands of miles away?

It was like they were in love, sticky and clingy.

Xu Jun only knew that he was going to be unlucky, and the person who made him unlucky was the famous Seventh Elder, so his heart was full of anger.

The Seventh Elder was actually on his blacklist. Back then, he had stayed in Randal for a period of time, and was wanted because he fought with the Second Prince on the street. In the end, he had to go to the Saint Origin Highlands to beg the Elven Queen to give him some moonlight spring water to atone for his crime, and the case was dismissed.

This was a blessing in disguise. He didn't expect that he would be able to become friends with the Holy Light Elves, so he didn't hate the Second Prince who was beaten up by him.

After all, he had gone overboard with his beating. He was a prince, after all. How could he be beaten up so badly that he couldn't even recognize his own mother?

The only thing he hated was the person who started this matter.

The Second Prince had a noble status, and he wouldn't flirt with any pretty girl he saw. It was his glib-tongued follower who started this matter. That follower was from the Zhu Ke Family.

After the Second Prince was beaten up, that bastard from the Zhu Ke Family should also be punished, but it was the Seventh Elder, Jinlai Zhu Ke, who suppressed the matter.

After that, when Xu Jun was in prison, that follower Zhu Ke came to provoke and ridicule him.

Damn it, what kind of plaything was this? If he could see him in the Holy City this time, he would definitely beat him to death.

After I'm done, I'll return the mocking words back to him.

I won't even need to scold his grandson, he's not worthy.

The author has something to say: Today's 4,000 words are done!

Based on my calculations … the Demon King and Xu Jun will probably meet at the end of the month. _ (: 3,∠) _

Hmm … As soon as they meet, they will torture the single dog. This also made the single dog Erji eat dog food in his head many times.

I didn't expect you to be such a brave person!
