When Laijin Zuk arrived at Mundama City, he saw a strange city.

It was not as prosperous as it used to be. From outside the city gate, one could see that both sides of the street were black and white. People in mourning clothes were walking back and forth as if there had just been a war. However, everyone seemed to have a smile on their faces. This was very f * cking strange.

As the seventh elder of the Illuminati, Elder Laijin was quite knowledgeable.

It was said that 600 years ago, when the Snow Blade Kingdom was still an empire and was very powerful, there was a very strange plague.

The plague swept through three cities. The people who were infected would be in high spirits. They would laugh every day as if they were happy doing everything. Then, one by one, they would die. When the central government of the empire finally sent reinforcements, more than half of the population in the city had died.

That plague was also known as the "Dream Disaster". People died while laughing. Wasn't that a disaster like a dream?

Later, they found out the reason. It seemed to be related to the Thule Society.

A low-level god under the God of Darkness, the God of Illusion, Cosius, laid a large magic pattern in the city so that the people in the city could not leave. They were lost in the beautiful illusion created by him, and their life force was slowly draining away …

After that incident, the Thule Society once again became the target of all the races on the Blessed Mainland. They were hated by everyone.

As an elder, it was fine if he was lacking in other aspects, but he had to recite the abominable and despicable nature of the Thule Society.

Therefore, after seeing the strange situation in Mundama City, Elder Laijin's heart skipped a beat.

A few days ago, something very strange had happened. In order to prevent them from alerting the enemy and letting Xu Jun escape in advance, Elder Laijin only sent one of his Silver Knights to secretly go to the city to ask Bishop Carloman about the situation. However, for some reason, the young Knight did not return.

"Sir, Bishop Carloman …" His guardian knight was about to say that Bishop Carloman did not come out of the city to greet them, which was against the rules. However, when he saw his Sir's expression, he sneered in his heart. This seventh elder was really as timid as a mouse. He would overthink anything he saw, but he still wanted to climb up the ranks. Look at him. If he really climbed up the ranks, who knew how long he would live?

Although that was what he thought, the Guardian Knight's face became even more respectful.

No matter what, as an elder's guardian knight, his status was much higher than an ordinary Holy Knight.

However … it would be even better if he could use the Seventh Elder as an opportunity to take two more steps forward.

At that time, he would definitely erase the fact that he had married into the Zhu Ke Family!

Being stared at by his own Guardian Knight, the seventh elder felt a little embarrassed. He was indeed prone to overthinking, but this couldn't be blamed on him.

Back then, he had experienced a period of bloody days. At that time, the elders were fighting with each other, and there was even someone who hired the top assassin of an assassin organization to assassinate him.

He had relied on this kind of caution to survive until now, and his status was getting higher and higher.

"Jack, go to the city and take a look." Elder Laigin pondered for a moment before sending his Guardian Knight to scout ahead.

This time, he only brought a Guardian Knight and a small team of Silver Knights.

The First Elder could have five Guardian Knights, the Second to Sixth Elders could have three, and the Seventh Elder could only have two Guardian Knights.

A Guardian Knight was not only a bodyguard, but also a force. Each Guardian Knight could bring a team of knights with a maximum of two hundred people.

This time, he only brought a hundred Guardian Knights and one Guardian Knight, leaving the rest in the Holy City. This was all because His Majesty the Pope said that an elder's business trip was not a public expense trip, and bringing too many people would cost too much, which was not in line with the Illuminati's virtue of being diligent and thrifty.

Damn virtue, the Seventh Elder thought about how the Pope Decca mentioned his good son when he was talking about being diligent and thrifty. He especially praised him: "Look, Deinister still abides by the teachings, only bringing Gnar with him every time he goes out."

The Elders were fuming with anger.

Only the Saintess of the Elders sincerely praised: "His Highness Deinister is indeed very pious, I will definitely learn from him."

— — I really don't know what this girl's brain is thinking.

Elder Laigin and his Guardian Knight were still dawdling at the city gate when Irene saw them in the city.

At this time, Irene was supervising the workers at the city gate to repair the city wall. Previously, the black rain had stopped after a while, so the residents who were hiding in their houses were not drenched much, but the city wall and the streets were transparent.

The dark element itself had the power to corrode, and this light rain had caused the surface of the city wall and the streets to be full of potholes.

Not to mention the streets, the city wall was the pride of the city, so it had to be repaired first.

Irene was blindly giving orders under the city wall, saying things like the left side was not repaired and the right side was not looking good. The workers were tirelessly hanging on the top of the city wall and repairing it back and forth.

After all, this was the first time in many years, so everyone wanted to make it look good.

Irene's gaze moved from the city wall to below, and finally saw Elder Laigin and his Guardian Knight standing outside the city.

The girl frowned slightly. She knew that the death of the Bishop of Mendama City would definitely attract the Illuminati's people, but she did not expect that they would come so soon!

Did someone send a message to the Illuminati?

She did not suspect that this Elder was fake, but someone else in disguise. The Illuminati's Elders had special robes and special badges. This could not be prevented, and once it was discovered, it would be a capital offense.

Not to mention that behind this Elder Laigin and his Guardian Knight, there was a large group of Silver Knights.

— — Silver Knights only represented their status, but in fact, this group of people was quite powerful, and they were probably all high-level combatants.

Irene ran out of the city and respectfully welcomed the Seventh Elder into the city.

When she left the city, Elder Laigin's eyebrows also twitched.

It was said that in the "Dream Disaster" years ago, people who were trapped in the illusion could not walk out, and it was not easy for outsiders to enter. If it was not for the fact that the Emperor of the Snow Blade Empire remembered that those cities had not paid taxes for three months, he probably would not have sent troops there.

Now, since this woman could come out, it meant that the city was fine.

Elder Laigin coughed twice and felt inexplicably awkward.

He was frightened by the abnormal situation in Mundama City. No, it was not that he was frightened, but that he had made some wrong suspicions about this city. This could not be blamed on him, but rather on the Silver Knight who did not report back in time and Bishop Carloman who did not welcome him even though he knew that he was coming.

"Respected Elder, it is Mendama City's honor that you are able to come to Mendama City." Irene put on an elegant and warm face and welcomed him into the city. "Please forgive the Bishop for not coming to welcome you. In fact, some bad things have happened in Mendama City recently …"

She wanted to choose her words carefully so that she could tell Elder Laigin about this matter in a more tactful way. She also wanted to be humble enough.

As the daughter of the mayor of a free city, Cole and Irene both had the right to inherit the city after the death of the mayor of Newt. If they were willing, both of them could even be considered as the mayor of a free city. Irene's position was very high. She treated Elder Laigin like this mainly because she was afraid that the news of the Bishop of Carloman betraying the Illuminati would be too big a blow to the elder.

However, before she could say anything, Elder Laigin put on airs and asked, "Is there a hero called Xu Jun in Mendama City?"

He sat in the carriage and did not prepare to get down in advance. The ground of Mendama City was different from that of the Holy City of Randal.

The ground of Randal was smooth and made of white snow. Even after a summer storm, there would not be any dirt left behind.

The cleaners of Randal would clean up all the rubbish on the ground.

This was what they were supposed to do. These greedy poor people would also receive a corresponding reward. Even if the nobles accidentally left a few gold coins behind, it would be enough for them to live for a day.

Irene remained calm and collected. She knew that the elder of the Illuminati was arrogant, so she was even more careful when talking to him. "The hero, Mr. Xu Jun, is currently in Mendama City."

Elder Laigin saw a termite crawling on top of his food container, followed by a cockroach. Fortunately, this cockroach was smaller in size and was not as shocking as the previous one.

He could not suppress the anger in his chest. If it was not for this Xu Jun!

Would he have to come all the way to the south?!

I heard that the free cities in the south were rich and populous. Rich and populous my ass!

Insects flying everywhere and ants crawling on the ground. Disgusting!

"Jack, help me down." Finally, they reached the entrance of the church in Mendama City. He stretched out a hand and walked down slowly like a noble lady. He was still picky. "Miss Priest, if I'm not mistaken, this is the church?

But why is the golden statue of God Ming missing from the main door?

Where did the Carloman go?! "

When he said the words "Carloman", he used an accusatory tone.

Irene was dissatisfied. When the church was first built in Mendama City, it was still a poor town. How could they hang a golden statue at the entrance of the church?

It was not that they did not mention it later, but it was rejected. They said that it was a small free city and it was not in line with the rules to hang a golden statue.

It was obvious that they were looking down on Mendama City.

So what was the meaning of mentioning it now?

She did not speak. Elder Laigin walked inside and scolded loudly as he walked, "There is not a single cultivator!

Look at this!

Why are there so many poor people in the church? This is a church, not a welfare home! "

When he said this, everyone's expression changed.

Irene only had one word in her mind. "This is bad."

The Bishop of Mendama City, Carloman, had colluded with the Dark Shadow Society and practiced witchcraft in the city. It was a publicly acknowledged fact that the residents of Mendama City had contracted the Black Plague.

This might cause the people to misunderstand and hate the Illuminati. Not to mention that the Bishop was seduced and did bad things. He was from a noble religion!

Therefore, after Cole and Irene discussed it, they thought that it was better to do the donation collection and distribution in the church. They wanted the civilians to see the benefits and let the poor know that the benefits were collected in the church … The people who distributed the money temporarily changed into cultivator's clothes to improve the people's impression of them.

They had succeeded, but after Elder Laigin said this, they lost hope.

Elder Laigin looked around and felt that he was very domineering. His words suppressed everyone present.

The noisy church was especially quiet at this moment.

"Da da da." A series of footsteps sounded. The young hero, Xu Jun, came out from the inner hall. His body was still emitting the bitter smell of herbs. After knowing that the Illuminati was coming and he could not leave immediately, he simply became a volunteer and distributed medicine here.

"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the famous Elder Zhuke."

Xu Jun said carelessly, "The poor people in the church are still not leaving. Do you know who this Elder Zhuke is?

He's been the number one elder for two generations, and he's still able to sit firmly in the group of elders without moving! "

Elder Laigin Zhuke's face immediately flushed red!

Author Has Something to Say: Ah … there are no updates. _ (: 3/∠) _

Hope that there will be more during the holidays next week.

I didn't expect you to be such a hero!
