Volume 1 Chapter 31 Don't worry, Master Dick, there is no one who can be your opponent
Dick Garr is a cardinal of the Universal Church.
This cardinal is a remarkable man.
In the church, he is considered a small leader.
In the secular world, it would be even more popular.
Here, he led the believers out entirely because of an unknown explosion in the Osdena Forest.
"Damn explosion!" Dick muttered as he stood on the edge of the magic boat and looked at the ground flying by.
Originally, he should have stayed in the church at this time, and went out from time to time to cheat and deceive people.
However, the explosion in the Osdena Forest led to a beast tide, the eruption of several volcanoes in the Aegean continent, and a beastman riot in the Igoria Steppe, with countless chain reactions.
This time he was also sent by the church to investigate the cause.
But in the end, when he arrived at the center of Osdena Forest, he only saw the ground flattened by the aftermath of magic.
Even the legendary beasts in the Osdena Forest were nowhere to be seen.
This made him dare not go back.
The church's management is very strict, and there are disputes within it.
If this mission yields no results, my colleagues might accuse me of not doing my job well.
He can only find another way, that is to make up for his mistakes.
It can be done to find talents for the church or to eliminate potential enemies for the church.
Fortunately, he was lucky.
I had just returned empty-handed in the Osdena Forest, and after wandering around for two days, the energy detection crystal detected a considerable aura of power.
Now, he was heading to the location for energy aura detection.
"Sir, I don't think this trip is necessarily a good thing."
A man in a white robe saw the depression on Dick's face and comforted him.
"What good thing? This is simply a tough job!" Dick said unhappily, "Everyone in the church knows how terrible the explosion in Osdena Forest was, so no one dared to go. This time, it was my bad luck that I was chosen by lottery!"
The man in the white robe shrank his neck and said, "Master Dick, since we were chosen by drawing lots, then it's not a big deal if we fail to complete the task, right? We have also completed our investigation of the situation, so we just need to report it truthfully."
Hearing this, Dick patted the man in white robe on the shoulder and said, "That's true, but there are many things in the church that you don't understand."
How could these people know the darkness in the church?
"But, sir, our merits on this trip are definitely greater than our faults. We have found out the news in the town of Wick, and the person we met this time is the former Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Claire!" The man in white robe looked somewhat delighted.
"Besides, he is no longer important to the Kingdom of Claire. If he is not reused, we have a great chance to invite him to join the church."
"Not only that, this time we seem to have gained something even bigger. Didn't the people in the town of Wick say that because a noble was captured, all the men in the town went to suppress the bandits, and the Knight Commander also received the news."
"The place where they are is exactly where the other energy we detected is. My lord, you think, this time we are likely to encounter two extraordinary strong men. If we can bring them all into the church, then..."
The man in white robe had a meaningful look on his face.
The bishop is holding a holy relic of the church, and even a ninth-level extraordinary being can defeat him.
As for those who are stronger than extraordinary ones?
How can you meet someone just by wanting to?
His words wiped away all the depression on Dick's face.
If he could get Marcus and another unknown strong man to join the church, his status would also rise.
Compared to the visible benefits, the mission to explore the Osdena Forest explosion is somewhat insignificant.
"You're right. If these two strong men join the church... no, even if I just bring their bodies back to the church, I can get a lot of benefits. Even this thing may be given to me by the Pope!" Dick showed a Hydra statue in his hand, his eyes shining.
The white-robed church member looked at the statue in Dick's hand with envy in his eyes: "Yes, sir, if you have this statue, who in the church will dare to say no to you in the future?"
A smile appeared on Dick's face. "Well, now that I have it, let alone the Knight Commander, even the ninth-level extraordinary warriors are in my hands! These two strong men who suddenly appeared can never be my opponents. Maybe I can even subdue them without using the holy object!"
The white-robed believers rubbed their hands and began to flatter him: "That's right! Bishop Dick is mighty!"
Bishop Dick looked very happy; his flattery was not in vain!
Good days are coming!
The magic boat sped through the air, blowing up Dick's long brown hair and revealing a confident and expectant smile on his face.
His robes rustled, too, and the sound was like waves in the wind, just as surging as his heart.
Soon, he drove the magic boat above the scene of the incident.
"What on earth is going on here?"
Dick frowned.
He looked down from the sky.
What caught my eye was a group of naked old men.
These naked guys looked miserable, as if they had just been tortured, with blood all over the ground.
The only group of people who were still in good health were kneeling in front of a carriage, prostrating themselves.
To Dick, the guys were begging for mercy.
Next, there were four guys with simple weapons, a knight in gold armor, and more than thirty knights in silver armor.
The knight in golden armor was full of fighting spirit and looked no simple figure.
According to the intelligence, this should be the Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Claire - Marcus Casey.
"Where is the other extraordinary strong man?" Dick looked a little unhappy.
Did that guy run away?
"Don't worry, Bishop. As long as the Knight-General is still here, it won't be too late to find another strong man. Could his speed be faster than the magic boat?" The white-robed cultist was still able to comfort people as always.
"It's a pity that the energy detection crystal was destroyed, otherwise we would know his location." Dick gritted his teeth. He has always been so indecisive. "But you are right. Let's see if Marcus is willing to join."
Then, he controlled the magic boat and flew to the sky in front of Marcus and others.
With a wave of his hand, he led the white-robed believers and leaped forward towards Marcus and others.
As they were about to land, their robes flashed white light, slowing down their descent so that it looked like they were floating.
"Nice to meet you, Knight Commander of the Kingdom of Claire, Marcus Cash." Dick said with a gentle smile, "I am Dick Gar, Cardinal of the Universal Church. The light of the Almighty God guided me here, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
As he spoke, a light flashed on his body.
A huge white magic circle formed in the sky, with runes flickering on it.
It looks full of ceremonial feeling.
......
Lynch was in the carriage, and in front of him was a translucent picture.
The scene on the screen was exactly what his reconnaissance skills had detected.
The sight of the people from the Omnipotent Church landing made his eyes sparkle.
It's obvious that this is a charlatan!
"You never stop learning. These charlatans are worth learning from." Lin Qi stroked his chin and commented: "And their flying boat looks pretty good. I like it."
Look at how high the standards of these charlatans are.
OK!
Learned it!
In the future, I will learn from this group of charlatans, seize their magic boat, use tricks to deceive people, and then go out to cheat them out of their expected coins. It will be a sure thing.
"But we still have to be careful. The Universal Church? It seems very powerful. As soon as we came into contact with it, we saw a supernatural strongman." Lin Qi's eyes were alert: "It seems that there are many powerful organizations in this world that we don't know about. We have to be careful."
Having made up his mind to be careful and prudent in the future, Lynch's expression became a little strange.
