The church was still under martial law, and every staff member inside had an unpleasant look on their faces.

Come to think of it, I worked almost the entire night without a rest, but in the end, I didn't find anything unusual. No one wants to do this kind of hard work that only wastes effort and yields no results.

Therefore, the church today is filled with gloom and sadness.

The only thing that made people angry was the large number of workers who poured into the backyard of the church and began to clean up the debris of the library. Two people mixed in with the workers and no one paid any attention to them. They just walked into the church in such a swagger.

They quietly left the team halfway and walked towards the leader's office on the high tower.

Daytime is different from night, and they couldn't just crawl on the wall, so the two of them made some disguises and then carefully moved up.

But as soon as they reached the floor where the headmaster's room was, they saw an energetic old man standing at the stairs, staring at them with eyes like a falcon.

Scorpio was startled and wanted to attack, but Cheng Shi held him down, forced a standard smile towards the leader of the Divine Education Church, and greeted him without feeling awkward at all:

"Sorry for the long wait, Master."

The two had never been in such close contact with the Lord Headmaster. At this moment, Berrios was different from the spokesperson of [Birth] who stood on the top of the tower and waved his staff to clear up the chaos last night. He looked more like a shrewd and steady thin old man.

His deep gaze lingered on Cheng Shi for a moment, and he slowly raised his staff, pointing the tip of the staff, which was carved with countless babies hugging each other, at Cheng Shi.

Seeing this scene, before Cheng Shi could react, Scorpio's back suddenly stiffened, and he instinctively grabbed Cheng Shi's hand, pulled him back three points, then took out his Arc of Time and instantly drew a gap of [time] between the two of them.

Cheng Shi looked at the little assassin beside him with a bit of surprise, and suddenly smiled even more brightly.

He patted Scorpio's hand, signaling him not to be nervous.

"Don't get excited, the leader has no ill intentions."

No malicious intent?

He even raised his staff!

When it was raised yesterday, the tentacles that descended from the sky directly blew away the entire library. Why weren't you afraid, brother?

Berrios glanced at Scorpio coldly, then looked at the distorted power of [time] that stood between both of them. After frowning, he put down his staff again as Cheng Shi had expected.

"You are not Dolgod."

After hearing this, Cheng Shi's tense heart finally relaxed.

Phew—that was a close call, I bet on the right thing.

It's not that he wasn't panicking, but he hid all his fear in his heart.

The moment Berrios raised his staff, his fingers quietly pinched the fun ring that had just been charged by Scorpio. Not only that, he even held a dice in his other hand.

He had the means to retreat at any time, so he had the confidence to test the other party's attitude. However, he did not expect that the little assassin beside him who only knew how to flatter others would actually want to protect him at that time...

It's quite interesting. Regardless of whether he was sincere this time, Cheng Shi was very grateful. At this moment, he suddenly changed his opinion of the little assassin and an idea popped up in his mind.

However, he had no time to think about these distracting thoughts. At this moment, he had to face the powerful and imposing leader of the Divine Education Church in front of him with caution.

"Dolgod is an inclusive city, so we have the opportunity to meet you, great Patriarch, isn't it?"

"Disgusting flattery, you are as cunning as Lisfield. Come up and let me see who is the person who caused such a big fuss in Dolgod."

With that, Berrios turned around and walked straight into his room.

Cheng Shi glanced at Scorpio, raised his eyebrows, and signaled him to retract his magical powers and catch up quickly.

Scorpio wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly wiped out the power of [Time] in front of him, and then panted and whispered:

"Brother Cheng, aren't you afraid that he will really kill us? He's a boss-level character. My legs were shaking when I saw him raise his staff."

"What are you afraid of? If he knew we had entered the church, he would have killed us long ago. Why wait until now?

Cheer up, you will only hinder our negotiations if you walk in like this."

Scorpio exhaled another breath: "Wait for me to slow down..."

Cheng Shi smiled unhappily: "You can't put the other party in such a high position. Think about it from another perspective. After seeing your power of [Time], he chose to negotiate. Does that mean he is afraid of you too?

He was afraid that unknown means would break the peace of Dolgod.

Isn’t it much better if you think about it this way? "

Scorpio was stunned, and his slightly bent back straightened instantly.

"You know what...it really works."

"......"

Cheng Shi shook his head and laughed, then took the lead and walked up the stairs.

After returning to this familiar office again, Cheng Shi did not passively wait for the other party to speak, but smiled and said directly:

"I don't know what the Patriarch thinks of us, but I can assure you that we have no intention of disrupting the peace of Dolgod, nor do we want to challenge your supreme authority. We are just passing by here and want to collect some things."

Berrios stood in front of the window with his staff in hand, turned around and asked in a deep voice:

"What?"

“Some emotions of fear. We are following another Him that is unknown to the world. In order to pay tribute to Him, we need to collect some fear.”

"Humph, you are indeed a pagan. The followers of evil gods have always been the objects of disgust of all major churches. How dare you mention the matter of an evil god in front of me?"
