Chapter 193 The battle begins

The room fell silent.

"Meow"

Buster, who was curled up on the sofa, jumped down, ran to the red-faced Zhuang Xiong, scratched a few bloody marks on the other's arm with his cat claws, and walked back to his owner majestically.

Zhuang Xiong's two followers didn't dare to move, because they knew they had provoked someone they couldn't afford to offend.

In fact, people in this line of work have some basic eyesight.

They first followed the pawnbroker's carriage and found out the address of Crown and the other man.

It is true that the residential areas in this area are the church's industrial area, but they are only the residences of ordinary church members, and there are very few second-level extraordinary people.

They thought they had found out the buyer's information, so they came blatantly to cause trouble.

The reason why Zhuang Xiong is so arrogant is because he has strong capital.

He was born with supernatural powers and practiced the Giant Bear Breathing Technique, which made him one of the strongest among the second-level transcendents.

Unexpectedly, before he could see his opponent's moves, he was hanging on the wall the next moment.

He was kicked in the heart just now and almost died.

He had recovered now, but his ribs were still hurting badly. He had to endure it and didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

Sometimes he would use his third-order extraordinary person's backer as a sandbag for training. He could clearly feel that the person who kicked and injured him was actually much stronger than his backer.

It was obvious that the person he punched was also a third-level transcendent, and an extremely powerful one.

However, he secretly hired people to draw portraits of the third-level extraordinary people in Rhine City, and also secretly investigated who the relatives of these people were, for fear of accidentally bumping into someone he could not afford to offend.

"Boss, why do you live in such a small place?!" Zhuang Xiong's heart was filled with resentment and bitterness.

Crown sat back on the sofa, stroked the cat and whispered, "Tell me about your origins and why you came to me."

Zhuang Xiong struggled to get up, and his two followers hurriedly squatted down to support their boss.

"Sir, I am Edwin, the president of the Whitechapel Stonemason Brotherhood. I make a living mainly by doing some construction work."

It's a very old-fashioned story. The son of a third-level extraordinary person falls in love with Melissa Lazio. This playboy who flirts with other women obviously just wants to have fun.

When Melissa refused to comply, the other party created a drama in which the deceased Viscount owed money and forced others to pay it back.

The Lazio family is not large in number, and Melissa herself is just an ordinary extraordinary person. Faced with shameless frame-ups and various overt and covert favoritism, she can only sell her property.

Now the family is penniless, but still has not paid off its debts, so the only option is to sell the ancestral home.

Because of the interference of this rich second generation, the house could not be sold for various reasons, and the little remaining "debt" accumulated again. After Edwin finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the person sitting on the sofa, clenched his hands, and waited anxiously for the other party's response.

Clown didn't know whether the story was true or not, nor was he interested in knowing. He asked coldly, "Who is the person behind you?"

"My Lord, I dare not say that."

Edwin shook his head in embarrassment. He couldn't reveal the information of his backers, otherwise, he might not live for a few days.

"Whether it's from the church, the fraternity, or some other organization, you have to give me a range. If you can't even tell me that, you might as well die."

"Not from the church, not from the fraternity."

Clown nodded, and understood in his heart, and said, "I have no interest in what happened between you two. The house is nice and suitable for me. If the price is right, I will pay for it."

This matter did not directly conflict with the third-level extraordinary person behind Edwin, so he did not need to think too much about it.

Even if there is a direct conflict, he is not afraid if the house is the only option.

Only the weak are bound by their hands and feet. He is a person who becomes increasingly powerful with the accumulation of time.

Praise the golden wall, praise the golden light mantra!

Edwin lowered his head and complimented, "Sir, this is your freedom."

"Del, go check if the wall is cracked."

Del went forward to check and reported back: "Sir, there are two cracks."

Edwin rose from a small figure and worked hard for many years. He immediately said:

"Sir, this is all my fault. I damaged your house. I am willing to pay ten gold spirit coins for the repair costs."

He stood at attention when being beaten and admitted defeat so readily, which shows that he has a high level of awareness. No wonder he could become the 'president'. It seems that this stonemason brotherhood is quite wealthy, and there must be quality problems with the project.

Crown said calmly, "Two cracks."

"Two, twenty gold spirit coins. Ten gold spirit coins for one crack. Very fair."

Edwin felt like his heart was bleeding. He didn't have many gold spirit coins in his personal treasury, and now he lost half of his fortune.

He had a lot of resentment in his heart, but he remained calm and even smiled on the surface.

"Then take the money," Crown said with a smile.

The other party must be hating you to death, but he has to surrender. It turns out that using force to subdue people is an effective method.

"Sir, how could a normal person carry so many gold spirit coins if he was fine? How about I send someone back to get them?"

Crown waved his hand: "Go ahead. But I don't want to see anyone else following you back."

"How could that be?" Edwin winked at a follower, who understood and turned away.

After the man left, Crown asked Del to cook and began to practice the Silver Fox Breathing Method.

He had originally planned to refine the moonlight tonight, but it seems he will have to wait until the president leaves.

After waiting for two hours, the man who went out to get the money came back with twenty Gold Spirit Coins as house repair money.

"You guys go."

Crown did not continue to embarrass these people and let them go. If they were in the wild, he would not mind killing these enemies, but in the city, it would have a bad impact if a bishop killed people.

He planned to spare some time in the future to train Del well and turn him into a second-level transcendent as soon as possible. At least in terms of spirit control, he was confident that he could help him grow faster and guide him to become a talent quickly.

This confidant's strength was too low to deal with the powerful opponent, which made him feel ashamed.

Edwin was helped away by his subordinates. One of them said viciously, "Boss, we can't just let this go, can we?"

"The person who could kick me like this must be a Level 3 Transcendent. He can't be an unknown person. I'll find out who they are tomorrow before making a decision."

. . . .

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The next day, not long after Crown arrived at the forge, someone sent by the Archbishop came to inform him to attend an emergency meeting immediately.

When he arrived at the meeting hall, the other bishops were already seated.

Flanders coughed and said, "This morning, the director of the Security Bureau, Lord Londo, personally sent a military intelligence report. The town of Lorente on the coastline has been occupied by fishmen, and these fishmen are wreaking havoc inland along the river. Many have already entered the Rhine River."

"The situation is urgent now. We must dispatch a group of elite troops to retake Lorente Town, and then send a large force to clear out the fishmen that have entered the river. Everyone, discuss who should be sent to participate in this joint operation."

The bishops began to discuss.

Finny leaned close to Crown and explained in a low voice, "Murlocs are monsters that were transformed from fish polluted by the evil god. According to news from other kingdoms, murlocs have long been wreaking havoc in areas near the ocean.

Fighting against the fishmen is fighting against the evil gods. This is the consensus of all churches and kingdoms."

After a while, Daniel said loudly:

“Archbishop, Bishop Cavendish is a powerful man second only to you and can serve as the commander of our troops.

Bishop Crown is young and promising, so I think he can be sent out.

First, it can broaden your horizons, and second, it can give you more practical experience, so that you can better contribute to the church in the future."

Is this old guy trying to pick a fight with me? He wants to use me as a gun every day? Just as Clown was about to retort, someone else spoke first.

Cavendish did not shirk his responsibilities at all. He was eager to experience a real battle and learn how to enter the silver level.

He laughed heartily and said, "It is our duty to share the church's worries. I am willing to lead the church's elite to participate in the battle.

Now is a good time to train troops. Future battles will become more and more difficult, so it is better to adapt in advance.

However, Bishop Crown has only been promoted to a flame fighter for a short time, and he still needs to hone his basic skills for a while before he can truly unleash the powerful combat power of a third-level transcendent. "

Flanders agreed and said, "The most important thing for Clown now is to hone himself and complete the production tasks of the forge. Are there any other bishops who would like to volunteer to join the battle?"

"I do."

Fanny smiled and said, "Fighting is my destiny. How can a priest of the Lord of Fire fall behind in battle?"

"Snap, snap"

After applauding, Flanders turned to Daniel:

“Very good, Bishop Fanny is willing to join the war, and we need two third-level bishops to join.

I have reached a consensus with Lord Londo that the government forces, the Warlock Brotherhood and the Church will each dispatch four third-level transcendents, one hundred second-level transcendents and several first-level transcendents.

The town of Lorente must be recaptured in one fell swoop, otherwise, these fishmen will continue to invade inland from the sea.

We also need to clear out the monsters on land, and we must not get caught up in a multi-front battle."

His meaning was very clear. Two people from our faction have already been dispatched, and the remaining two will be from your faction.

The military situation was tense, and Daniel's faction quickly selected two bishops to join the war.

"The meeting is over," Flanders stood up and announced, "The four bishops will select the fighters and gather at the Security Bureau's airship base to set off before noon."

He bowed to the bishops who participated in the battle and said, "May the Lord of Fire protect you."

The bishops left one after another, and Flanders stopped Clown and warned him:

"Improve your combat effectiveness as much as possible, and your quota of personal soldiers must be confirmed as soon as possible.

The clearing battle will begin in more than two months, and the bishops will take turns to participate in the battle. "

He and Cavendish both had high hopes for the new bishop's potential. Although they had already acknowledged the other party's strength, the stronger their comrades were, the calmer they would be in dealing with dangerous situations in the future.

Clown bowed and said confidently, "Don't worry, Archbishop."

This period of time is enough for him to gain enough proficiency. By then, his strength will definitely be much stronger.
