Volume 1 Village Story Chapter 162 Contact

  We quickly closed the distance with the papal troops, and they apparently noticed us too. Someone in the middle of the troops seemed to have shouted something, and soon twenty Temple Knights moved forward, forming a temporary defensive formation facing our direction. The high-ranking pastors at the back of the troops were constantly casting various blessings on those knights, while three red-robed cardinals waited sternly behind the troops.

  We reined in our horses, and Evan spurred his own mount a few paces forward, asking: "Is that the papal troops facing us? I wonder where you are headed?"

  Suddenly, someone in the group exclaimed, "Evin?" The people from the Holy See heard these two names and immediately began whispering to each other. I vaguely heard someone ask, "Evin? Which Evin?" Someone next to me immediately said, "You don't know Evin? He's the top assassin of the Sel Empire, who disguised himself as a devout believer, snuck into the Holy City alone, and assassinated one of our Red Robe Cardinals!"

  I saw three red-robed archbishops turn pale at the mention of Evan's name, it was clear that Evan's notorious reputation in the Vatican was well-known to all. I couldn't help but steal a glance at Evan, only to see him still looking lazy and carefree, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

  A cardinal in red robes spoke up: "Who are you people? We are envoys of the Vatican, on a mission. Please step aside and let us pass. We have nothing to do with each other, let's go our separate ways."

  "I'm Evan, I'm sure you've all heard of me," he said, pointing to his own nose. "These are some friends of mine, we're just about to head out on a trip together. Where might the followers of Holy Light be headed? Why don't we travel together instead? This vast grassland is full of dangers, and we're not exactly brave, so it would be safer with your company."

  Another red-robed archbishop was born, angrily rebuking: "Traitor, your crime of assassinating our red-robed archbishop has not been settled with you yet. You actually delivered yourself to the door! Knights of the Temple, go and capture this traitor!"

  Twenty Knights Templar immediately formed a neat formation, holding their lances horizontally in front of them, waiting for the command to attack. The uniform movement, combined with the clanging sound of armor, was quite impressive.

  Evan heard his words, without a hint of panic on his face, he sat quietly on his mount, staring at the restless temple knights, not moving an inch.

  We immediately made preparations to welcome the battle, standing in a mutually supportive formation, ready to meet the impact of the Temple Knights. As long as the opponent dares to make a move, we will immediately beat them into dust on the ground. The barbarian drum was even more excited, waving his war drum, eager to rush into the enemy's ranks and start killing. The battle broke out at once.

  "Halt!" cried the middle-aged cardinal, who was the oldest of the three red-robed cardinals and the first to speak.

  All the Knights Templar stopped in their tracks, looking at the three red-robed bishops with a bewildered expression, as if asking: "One wants to go forward, another stops, so who should we listen to?"

  The elderly cardinal in red robes said, "Mr. Evan, we are on a mission this time, but it is not convenient to tell you, nor is it convenient to bring so many of you with us, so please forgive us. As for the matter of your assassination of our cardinal, I believe the Holy See will deal with your empire, and today we don't need to argue about this. I'm sure there will be a result in the end."

  Evan nodded and said, "This old gentleman is right. Since it's like this... Alright, let's each go our own way. Just hope you won't block us, and I truly hope you're not heading to the same place as us. Actually, I don't want to see you either."

  Evan finished speaking and turned his horse's head in our direction, walking slowly towards us. However, I saw that his face seemed to be somewhat pale after he turned around, with an extremely unnatural expression.

  I asked Xilu beside me: "What's wrong with your brother? He seems a bit off?"

  Xī lù shén sè guài guài de shuō dào: "Yīn wèi...wǒ kàn jiàn le nī yǎ, kěn dìng gē gē tā yě kàn jiàn le, kě shì tā jì rán jiǎ zhuāng méi kàn jiàn, hái néng gòu hěn dàn dì de shuō le nà me duō de huà."

  "Oh? Where is it? Show me!" I asked curiously at once.

  Xī lù xiān bǐ shì de kàn le wǒ yī yǎn, cái qiāo qiāo zhǐ zhe duì wǔ lǐ de yī gè nǚ mù shī shuō: "yòu bian dì sān gè mù shī, nǚ de, kàn jiàn bù? nà jiù shì Ní yǎ jiě jie, qí shí gē ge yǐ zài xiǎng niàn tā ne."

  I followed Sister Xi Lu's finger and looked over, and indeed saw a very beautiful woman with a great figure, even wearing a pastor's robe couldn't hide those delicate curves.

  "How is it? Isn't Niya sister very pretty?" Ciel asked beside me.

  I nodded and said, "Yes, indeed a top-notch beauty. That kid Evan really has an eye for it, not only is she delicate in appearance, but also perfectly proportioned, simply flawless."

  As soon as my voice fell, I was immediately attacked by two consecutive thunderclaps that left me dazed and confused. Needless to say, this was obviously Xi Lu's handiwork. After finishing the attack, she even threw down a sentence: "Pervert!" before running off to her brother's side to gossip.

  I rubbed my head and muttered: "You also said she was beautiful, why did I say it became a pervert?"

  Furei was secretly laughing on one side, seeing me being scolded, and said with a tone of gloating: "Serves you right, see if you dare to randomly comment on other girls again."

  I rolled my eyes at her and turned to run to Evan's side, asking: "Hey, Evan, do you want us to go up and help you snatch that girl away? If we really fight with them, we'll definitely win, although we can't annihilate these people. Helping you bring that girl to your side is absolutely no problem."

  Aidan shook his head, not speaking, but the expression on his face was somewhat tangled. I continued to persuade him: "What's with the pretentiousness? A man should dare to love and hate. We've been through so many storms together, can't you even face a little girl?"

  Yvonne snorted and said with a hint of disdain, "Don't be so tacky, okay? If I wanted to force her, I'd need you to teach me. This is my respect for her choice. One day, when my importance in her heart surpasses that god in her heart, she'll come find me herself."

  I snorted and said, "Then just wait, wait until the end of time, wait until your hair turns white, and see if there's still hope."

  I changed direction with "Purple Flame", shouting loudly: "Let's go, no show to watch, everyone continue on the road!"

  As we spoke, the Vatican's team slowly began to move forward, with twenty Temple Knights still on high alert, separating us from their priest and watching our side warily.

  We ignored those people, loosened our mounts and galloped swiftly towards the distance. Each person left a provocative gaze as they passed by, and Mo Leng even waved his war hammer in a show of intimidation. The two-legged goat quickly caught up with the people in front, and we left behind countless bursts of laughter as we charged into the depths of the grasslands.
