Walter curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, and seemed not to care about Feng Feng's questioning.
A figure slowly walked out from the shadows behind him.
It was none other than the wizard of the Gregardi Alliance—Tanai Austin.
He was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden by the shadow of his hood.
Only a pair of eyes as deep as the abyss were revealed, as if they could see into people's hearts.
Yun Yang's eyes showed both wariness and confusion. He whispered to the three Hermit Society members:
"who are they?"
Although the voice was soft, it could not hide the turmoil in his heart.
"A pope of a local Christian church, and the one next to him is a wizard from the Austin family."
Feng Feng answered simply.
There was a subtle hint of contempt in his words.
There were only two of them, and he thought the other party was just waiting for him, so he must have made complete preparations!
That's all!
It is normal that everyone has only been in the Red Sea for one day and has not made any preparations.
Generally speaking, they, Gao Chen and Yun Yang would not appear here.
Two people waiting for one monk is indeed enough.
Walter frowned when he heard this, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
The volume was raised, and the voice echoed in the sea with unquestionable majesty.
"I am the Pope of Isser, not the 'local church' you mentioned! Please respect my identity!"
Jin Shile waved his hand gently, a playful smile on his lips.
"Almost. For us, Iserle is also a small place."
The area of Selie is not even as big as one of their provinces!
His words were soft but they were like a sharp knife.
Accurately cut through the arrogance and self-esteem in the other person's heart.
Tanai Austin was called out and felt the different looks from the people around him, and finally couldn't hold back.
He stood up and pulled his hood down completely, revealing a well-defined face.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through the essence of everything in the world.
"The Gregardi Alliance simply wants to witness the power of the upcoming divine weapon."
"As for who the artifact ultimately ends up in, it makes no difference to us. We don't care."
His voice was calm and firm, yet it revealed an unquestionable strength.
Feng Feng sneered at the side, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
"You're the only ones who can describe greed and voyeurism in such a high-sounding way, and make jumping around so sound so good."
As he spoke, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring straight at Tanai.
It was as if she could see through every thought in his heart.
His gaze was like a torch, penetrating the subtle atmosphere around him.
It shot directly at Tanai, who was facing the man with an embarrassed expression and flickering eyes.
"We, the Hermit Order, also have historical ties with the Gregardi Alliance."
"Why, now, over a small disturbance, are you resorting to violence?"
There was a hint of questioning and emotion in Feng Feng's words, as if he was giving a reminder and also making fun of himself.
Upon hearing this, Tanai's expression became even more embarrassed.
His eyes were lowered and his fingers unconsciously stroked the corners of his clothes.
In the end, he chose to avoid that sharp gaze and shook his head slightly.
His voice was low and apologetic: "I'm sorry, the situation is changing, our positions are conflicting, and we have our difficulties."
Memories of the White Mist Disaster came flooding back like a tide.
Those days of fighting side by side seem like just yesterday.
But now, it has become an insurmountable gap between them.
During the White Mist Disaster, they were allies.
But there can be no eternal alliance in the world.
Now, they are just rivals!
Feng Feng sighed, spread his hands, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
"Well, since you've entered the game first and stepped into the vortex of this dispute."
"Then let's put our old relationship aside for now."
"I don't need to care about our relationship anymore!"
He also gave an explanation to the president.
"The Hermit Society has no interest in the artifacts. We are just joining in the fun as individuals."
Yunyang was shocked when he heard this.
He never expected that the Hermit's actions this time would be so private and personal.
He looked at Feng Feng in surprise, his eyes full of confusion: "Personal name? I always thought..."
He had always thought that their move was the Hermit Society's intention.
Feng Feng smiled slightly, and there was some deep meaning hidden in that smile.
Now that the artifact has been released, will the Hermit Society send anyone to check it out?
He had a bad feeling.
But now that it has come to this, wouldn’t all their previous efforts be in vain if they just quit?
Yunyang felt mixed emotions when he heard this.
He took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firmed:
"In that case, our goal is the same as the Hermit Society's. We don't seek to find anyone who can take possession of the artifact, but only to witness this legendary power with our own eyes."
Gao Chen nodded in agreement, with a hint of self-mockery in his tone.
"The choice of a master for a divine artifact is not something that mortals like us can force."
"We know we can't use the artifact, we're just curious about its function."
"We are but a speck of dust in this vast river of history. We are lucky enough to witness this miracle with our own eyes."
Walter's eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Like the brightest star in the night sky, it shines with unquestionable determination and greed.
"Since you don't want them, then hand over all the scroll fragments!"
"They are sacred objects of the Christian Church that must not be desecrated. They should be returned to their proper place!"
As the words fell, the air around them seemed to freeze.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They said it casually, but if they were to actually hand over the scroll fragments, the meaning would be completely different.
When core interests are truly affected, who would be willing to let go easily?
You don’t have to take the artifact, but you can’t let one person keep the thing all to himself.
They prefer to maintain a delicate balance and ensure that they hold the chips to make decisions.
There are only two people on Walter's side, but there are five people on Feng Feng and Yunyang's side.
The numerical disadvantage is obvious.
However, Walter arrived earlier and had already laid a trap on the ground.
They have quietly laid a tight net, and the trap is like a poisonous snake in the dark night, waiting for the prey to step into it.
There is still a chance to fight!
The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was so tense that one could almost hear the echo of each other's heartbeats.
Bubbles kept popping up in the sea, as if the sea itself was trembling with fear for the upcoming battle.
At this tense and explosive moment, something unexpected happened!
Just as they attacked at the same time and rushed together.
I saw that the scroll fragments held tightly in the hands of the crowd seemed to be pulled by an invisible force.
It broke free from its restraints, floated up on its own, and slowly gathered in the air.
Eventually, they pieced together an ancient and mysterious map with intricate patterns that pointed the way to unknown treasures.
This sudden change left everyone stunned, and their astonishment was beyond words.
