Transmigrated into a fallen priest, Mark clutches the Forbidden Scripture that would make a saint’s face turn black in his left hand, and a cross blessed by the Abyss in his right.
When the...
In fact, even though Kyle currently has no intention of pursuing Linus.
Kyle's words were like rolling thunder, and every word hit Linus' heart.
Especially the part about the potion, which made Linus's fat body tremble violently, sweat instantly poured out on his forehead, and his face became extremely ugly.
Declare the drug risky? Suspend its use?
This is simply stripping away the "savior" image that Linus has just established and the foundation of his huge future profits!
"But...but..." Linus tried to defend himself, his fat face filled with false embarrassment. "Sir Kyle, won't this...will this cause even greater panic? That potion is so effective, it's saved hundreds of lives!"
"And this is strongly supported by the Lisbon family... We don't have any evidence to suggest there's anything wrong with it... If we announce it, the people and adventurers probably won't believe it and might even question the church's authority..."
"Church authority?" Kyle's voice was as cold as winter. "It's because you abused your power, trusted a drug of unknown origin, and lifted the quarantine without authorization that more people were exposed to unknown risks!"
"Now, the change is happening right before our eyes! This is the evidence! Father Linus! Follow the order! Now!!"
The pressure that belonged only to a priest erupted from him in an instant. The power of holy light that was purer than that of all the holy light present made everyone in the hall feel suffocated.
When Kyle exploded with energy, Ruby on the side stared at everyone coldly, as if she was looking at a group of heretics waiting to be judged.
Captain Edgar and the guards subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
Linus felt as if he was facing accountability from the true representative of the great holy light. The divine pressure almost made him collapse to the ground, and the last bit of courage he had to quibble was completely crushed.
"Yes... yes! I will follow your orders!" Linus almost collapsed and shouted, his voice trembling. "I... I will do it right away! Right away!"
Seeing that the other party had completely surrendered, Kyle's pressure subsided.
He turned to Captain Edgar, his tone slowed, but still held an unquestionable iron will: "Captain Edgar, seal the four gates and strictly prohibit the mutated creatures from escaping! The cleanup is up to you! We have more important things to do!"
"Yes! Sir! Don't worry!"
Edgar stood up straight as if he had received a military order, and the bloodiness and sense of responsibility of a soldier from Dragon Slaying City rekindled in his eyes.
After explaining everything, Kyle didn't stop.
He exchanged a look with Ruby.
"Let's go! Rot Dragon Swamp!"
Ruby's flail made a slight humming sound, and after a slight silence, the cold light of a predator suddenly ignited in her eyes.
Two one-horned war horses, one black and one white, quickly flew away with a sound of breaking through the air and disappeared outside the city gate leading to the Warcraft Mountains.
It was not until the suffocating pressure of the holy light completely disappeared that Linus was like being fished out of the water. His fat body was gasping for breath, his legs were weak, and he could only stand by holding on to the table next to him.
Sweat completely soaked through his luxurious sacrificial robes, and the remaining fear and resentment of humiliation on his face made his expression hideous and distorted.
"He... How dare he humiliate me like this! And that heretic nun Ruby... Those two monsters..." He panted, his voice filled with a hint of barely perceptible sobbing and uncontrollable rage, "Edgar!"
Captain Edgar Brandon looked at the messy command room and the increasingly dense chaotic fire outside the window, and walked over with a gloomy expression.
He felt both in awe and a little uncomfortable at the pressure Kyle had just given him.
You people in the Church of Holy Light have conflicts, why do you want to involve us ordinary guards in your anger?
The same goes for Linus in front of me. Damn, he looks so arrogant when making decisions.
When the real boss comes, I dare not even fart!
"Edgar, did you hear what he just said? He put all the blame on us!"
Linus grabbed Edgar's arm, his nails almost digging into it, and his voice was urgent and sharp, "Suppress the mutation! Suspend the potion! No matter what the final result is, he is trying to kill us!"
"If he comes back and tells the authorities what happened, will we still be able to survive?! And how will we explain this to the Lisbon family?! Think about the consequences! Think about our future!"
Edgar's face grew even darker, and he remained silent without answering.
"Now they're running away!"
Linus pointed sharply in the direction Kyle and Ruby had disappeared, his eyes flashing with mad calculation. "At a time when Osborne needed the presence of the clergy the most! They abandoned the town, which was about to fall and where countless civilians were being slaughtered by monsters! They ran away! Escaped! All for that damn Rot Dragon Swamp!"
He almost roared:
"Edgar! Listen carefully! This morning at the makeshift camp, the person who defied all odds and agreed to distribute the 'Holy Light Purification Potion' to save the adventurers' lives was him! Kyle Spence! It was he who gave the order!"
"You, me, and the brothers in the guard team all tried to persuade us, but in the end, we were just ordinary subordinates who had to loyally carry out the decisions of the Holy City Church's special envoy! In the end, the Holy City envoy abandoned the people, and we struggled to defend Osborne Town but were unable to save the ordinary people. Do you understand?!!!"
Edgar's body suddenly stiffened and his pupils suddenly contracted.
He instantly understood Linus's sinister intentions!
This is to put all the decisions related to this chaos on Kyle, but at the same time accuse Kyle of a fatal crime - desertion!
Linus even seemed to want him to give up the ordinary people of Osborne!
Linus stared into Edgar's eyes, and a fierce expression close to madness appeared on his fat face:
"Captain Edgar, you know what to do, right?"
Edgar looked at the mad desire for destruction burning in Linus's eyes, and glanced at the increasingly chaotic scene outside the window.
Fear of the Holy Light Church in Dragon Slayer City, fear of the Lisbon family, worry about his own future, and a sense of relief at having completely put the blame on the "deserter"...
Eventually, these complex emotions settled into a cold determination in his eyes.
He nodded slowly, his voice hoarse and low, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue:
"...Yes, Father. Lord Kyle Spence... indeed acted in this way. I know what to do. I will go and inform my subordinates... to 'protect' the citizens of Osborne."
Seeing Edgar being so smart.
A cold sneer like a night owl spread across Linus's sweaty face, and that smile was full of the sweet taste of betrayal and the pleasure of revenge.
He gestured for Edgar to go ahead and do his work, while he himself bent over his desk to write a letter, submitting a report to Dragon Slaying City and the Holy City Holy Light Church as soon as possible:
