Chapter 20. Your Excellency, I Understand!
Frey didn't leave behind many things, most of which were buried in Char's tomb. The emblem he left behind was a memento. He had planned to return to the court of the Holy See after killing the murderer and put it next to the murderer's tomb, then coolly say, "I'm done." however, things kept coming up, and he didn't have the time to care.
Now, this thing had a wondrous effect.
It had not been long since the Holy See was replaced, and with the bureaucratic style and efficiency of Mephistopheles and his group, it was obvious that they had not had the time to change the style of the emblem. Although the emblem in Char's hand had lost any effect recognized by the system due to Frey's death, this was the real world after all, and it was very effective to scare people.
Chaxike was scared.
However, Char's heart sank.
Chaxike's reaction showed that he had seen the real symbol of the Holy See.
In other words, this matter was not as simple as the big fish eating the small fish. The church was controlling them. The Holy See.
Thinking of this, Char did not dare to say anything more. After all, the more he said, the easier it was for him to be exposed.
He put away the emblem, neither confirming nor denying it, and pretended to clear his throat.
"An arsonist was heading in your direction just now. Did you notice anything?"
The grandfather and grandson both shook their heads.
"Ah, their camp!" Yama suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "A totem pole was broken in the camp because someone went to save the priestess. A man and a wolf fought. It was that guy who started the fire! My Lord, he ran away?"
When Yama said that, Char suddenly snorted.
"If it wasn't for you guys, I would have caught him already."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What?"
"My Lord, what does this have to do with us?" Chaxike frowned.
"Why did he set the fire? He clearly sensed your presence, but were unable to confirm your location, so he set the fire and waited on the side. He didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. I was also waiting for him on the side. Just as I was about to approach and subdue him, you suddenly rushed out of the fire aggressively. That guy saw that his plan had succeeded and simply ran away. Immediately after, I saw two people who were even more embarrassed than him.
I can't believe the priest of the White Spirit Tribe is afraid of this simple fire. It's a real eye-opener!
He said with a cold face and then looked at the grandfather and grandson's faces.
As expected, the two of them had different expressions.
Chaxike's face turned black, while Yama's face was filled with embarrassment.
He wished he could point at his grandfather and shout, "If it wasn't for this old thing, I wouldn't have run!"
Chaxike's lips wriggled a few times before he said in a low voice,
"Now that things have come to this, let's hurry back. Sir, this place is not safe. I'm afraid it'll be dangerous."
"Chaxike! Is this how you avoid your responsibility?" Char said sternly.
"Ah?"
Chaxike raised his head, stunned by the scolding.
You gave up on the mission earlier because of your own cowardice, and now you've just casually said 'things have come to this'. Do you know how serious the consequences of this matter will be?!"
"S-serious consequences?" Chaxike frowned," My Lord, in my opinion, this matter is."
"Not serious?" Char laughed out of anger. "Do you know who the Half-Elf in the team is?"
"I don't."
"How stupid! Not long ago, that Half-Elf first stole 1.5 billion gold coins from the bank in the name of a 'loan'. This money was taken from the church's pocket! Then, using the money as an excuse, he reached some kind of agreement with the Elven Queen, removing four of the five governors in one fell swoop, reshuffling the leadership of the Elfheim and ending the power that the church had painstakingly built over the years! All of it!
"A person like this, and now he's targeting the barbarians and has even ruined tonight's plan. Do you think this is just a simple disruption? When he does something else, are you going to bear the consequences?!"
"Your, Your Excellency, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"First you say, 'things have come to this' and now you say 'I didn't know'. Are you livestock? You only move after being whipped, and if you don't, you'll just stay where you are and do stupid things. Did your brains also freeze and rot away?"
Char's words made Chaxike's forehead sweat, and he lowered his head.
On the contrary, Yama's eyes lit up.
Young people were all aggressive. Char acting arrogant, and Yama's mind was filled with "Why? "
As mentioned before, the biggest conflict between male creatures came from the fact that " I can't just watch him act cool in front of me." Now, Yama was feeling thinking that.
"My Lord! Please give us another chance, Sir!" Yama stepped forward.
"Oh?"
Char deliberately gave him a side glance.
"You?"
"Right! Just me!"
Yama stood up straight, his ice crystal-like blue eyes full of battle intent.
the priestess of the Black Mamba Tribe has used most of her strength to resist our 'Frozen Heart'. Now she is an arrow that is almost out of strength. Give me another chance, I will definitely freeze her into an ice sculpture!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmYama licked his lips and revealed a perverted look.
"That would be perfect..."
Char looked at him up and down again as if he had seen him again. He then smiled and looked at Chaxike.
"Your grandson isn't like you. His guts aren't frozen yet."
Hearing the approval of the "Lord", Yama felt a rush of blood to the top of his head! He wished he could rush in and capture everyone in the camp and bring them to Char.
Chaxike felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to disobey. He could only stare at Yama madly, signaling for him to calm down. He also tried to persuade him.
"Sir, we've already alerted the enemy. If we rush forward now, we won't be able to catch her with just the two of us. If she escapes..."
"Ridiculous! What's wrong with alerting the enemy? Do you think I'm just for show?! Char snapped.
"My Lord, please..."
Char snapped her fingers, and [Dark Speech Technique - Binding] was cast on Yama.
The latter, on the other hand, had no way of resisting.
The Warlock was a typical PvP class. It severely lacked offensive means, and most of its casting targets were humanoid creatures. However, be it control or interruption, they were almost instantaneous. It could be said that it was a class that was full of disgusting people. In addition, with the strange judgment of "crushing someone one level lower to death", at Char's current level 50, it was easy to with Yama.
Even though the latter was a genius, he was still too young and was still in the 40-45 range. He would need to experience some 'big changes' before he could improve by leaps and bounds, and now he was being questioned by Char.
However, Chaxike didn't understand these things. He stubbornly believed that the means of control were proportional to the strength. From this perspective, the Lord in front of him was "unfathomable", and he immediately felt relieved.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Come back with me!" Char looked at him with a 'you know' look.
"I want to capture that priestess alive."
"I understand!"
Chaxike immediately understood.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, each with their own ulterior motives.
