Chapter 549 The Dangerous Shadow Waiting for Opportunities

The sky gradually darkened.

The whole holy city was brightly lit. Brand hid in the shadows and stared at the palace in front of him. He could see the armored paladins patrolling back and forth, and the nobles in gorgeous costumes were waiting for the nobles to get off the carriage, talking and laughing loudly. Walk down the red carpet to the sound of the band, then through the open doors.

This scene is so familiar to Brand. He was one of them once, but now, he can only hide in the shadows like a mouse, unable to show his head at all. Those nobles who once cast admiring gazes on him, those subordinates who once trusted them, now seeing him is like seeing a walking plague, and they are afraid to avoid him.

But what did he do wrong?

Thinking of this, Brand clenched his fists tightly.

Yes, what did he do wrong? Why, he must be punished so severely, he has already lost his daughter, isn't that enough?

That's it………

Brand raised his head again, staring at everything in front of him coldly. This time, there was no longer any confusion and hesitation in his eyes, but full of unwavering madness.

Since the goddess has abandoned me, then... let me indulge for a while!

Although the defense of the holy city is very strict, it is almost impossible for a mouse to get in. But this didn't bother Brand. As a former knight commander, he knew that there were many criss-crossing tunnels inside the holy city. Some of these tunnels are used to lead to the underground cemetery under the church, some are used to transport resources and tools, and some are used for emergency transfers. Brand is naturally very familiar with all of this, and he also knows what to do.

After all, for Brand, this couldn't be more familiar.

At the same time, in the hall, Fang Zheng stood quietly in a corner with a glass of red wine, carefully observing the crowds who came in and out. Beside him are Hecate, Iona and Rodney. From time to time, people would come to greet Fang Zheng, including nobles and some knights. After all, based on the strength that Fangzheng has shown so far, he can almost be regarded as the most dazzling new star on this continent. No matter what the considerations are, it is a good choice to have a good relationship with this young man.

Especially some nobles who have daughters in their families are extremely enthusiastic. After all, if they can get on line with this adult, then one or two daughters will be no problem at all!

But unfortunately, almost all of them returned without success.

This is not because of Fang Zheng himself, nor is it because of Iona and Rodney. As the leader of Tiandao Palace, Fangzheng also knows what to say on what occasion. At this banquet, I am the one who has been praised. If I pull a face, it will not be conducive to unity and cooperation.

And Rodney himself has a gentle personality, as long as you don't fight, you will never see that this soft and cute girl is a murderous maniac.

Even Iona just stood in front of the window in a daze, without any intention of hindering her.

But even so, those people came and went, staying in front of Fangzheng for no more than ten minutes at most, and even some people who planned to introduce their daughter shut up and retreated in the end. There was only one reason—that is Hecate.

The great witch also stood beside Fangzheng without moving, not saying a word, looking like a puppet. But from Hecate's body, there was an icy air pressure, so that those people didn't dare to stay by Fangzheng's side, especially those gorgeously dressed noble ladies who wanted to come up to chat with Fangzheng. As a result, he was so frightened by Hecate's cold gaze that he couldn't say a few words, turned around and ran away.

This girl is really...

Looking at Heikati beside him, Fangzheng was also speechless. Ever since he finished chatting with Jinlong girl, Heikati has been like this all the time, without saying a word, just following him with a cold low air pressure. Even Iona and Rodney were a little scared, although Fangzheng did reject Jinlong girl's "marriage proposal" in the end, but judging by Heikati's appearance, it was all because he wanted to start the seal and take Jinlong girl directly from this place. The expression that completely wiped out the world!

Fortunately, Fangzheng stopped Hecate's further actions in time, otherwise, there would be no banquet right now.

However, Heikati did Fang Zheng a favor by doing so. After all, he is not in the mood to chat with others now. Although from the surface, Fang Zheng seemed to be just leisurely and carefree, but only Fang Zheng knew that he was already on full alert right now. The reason is very simple, because just now, when he entered the banquet hall, Fangzheng once again felt the sudden feeling that his life was in danger.

Although the time was still very short this time, the feeling became more vivid, as if a knife was sticking to his back and was about to stab into his body.

It is also because of this that Fangzheng has almost raised his vigilance to the peak at this moment. Not only did he sit in the closest position below the pope, but Fangzheng also secretly imposed "psychic barrier" to "anti-magic aura" on himself. Almost everything that can be used is a protection spell. Not only that, but he also holds a soul stone in his hand, and Invincible is also on standby at any time. In addition, Fangzheng's right eye also activated "future vision", moving forward in units of three seconds. In this way, Fangzheng can see the future three seconds later every three seconds. If someone really sneaks up on him, he can also detect it in advance and respond...

Of course, this kind of behavior is very energy-consuming. If Fangzheng hadn't grown into a time dragon in his prime, he wouldn't dare to play like this. The continuous influx and replacement of this future consciousness alone is enough to drive an ordinary person completely crazy up. That is to say, Fangzheng, as a time dragon, can ignore the characteristics of time, so he can support it.

But even so, such a large amount of data processing is indeed a bit of a headache for Fangzheng. If possible, he does not want to waste time in meaningless chats with those nobles.

From this point of view, Hecate has helped Fang Zheng a lot.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

The banquet began. According to the procedure, the pope first gave a speech, admiring the recovery of the Northland, and praising everyone who performed well in the process of recovering the Northland. To be honest, if he didn't know the true identity of the "pope", then Fang Zheng might not have any feelings. But after learning that the "Pope" was a golden dragon girl pretending to be, he felt awkward no matter what he heard.

However, the Golden Dragon girl is obviously already used to playing this role. She spent a lot of space praising Fangzheng and his subordinates for their important role in recovering the Northland. At the same time, she announced a news—— The honorary title of Knight of the Holy Spirit was awarded to Fang Zheng again, and starting today, Fang Zheng's position was also upgraded from Grand Knight to Knight Commander, and he was awarded the Order Spark Medal at the same time.

After receiving the medal from the priest, Fangzheng also gave a speech. This is the real reason why he risked his life to come to the Holy City this time. If Fangzheng only came to eat and drink, then of course he wouldn't lose his life. But the main goal of this banquet is to formally show the outside world the cooperative relationship between Tiandao Palace and the Kingdom of the Holy Religion. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Fang Zheng to let others come instead of him.

Naturally, various celebrations followed, and then dance time began. The nobles danced lightly, while the knights talked and laughed loudly with their wine glasses. The melodious music echoed in the hall, no matter how you looked at it, it looked calm and peaceful.

Is it really my own mental allergies?

Looking at the lively dance floor in front of him, Fangzheng also felt a little puzzled, but even so, he still didn't intend to relax his vigilance. Fangzheng is very clear that in many cases, the danger often comes from the moment you let down your vigilance, so he has decided that he will keep this state until he returns to his own room in Tiandao Palace—after all, life is the last important.

However... I don't know if fate played a malicious joke on Fangzheng, but until the end of the banquet, he was not attacked in any way.

But even so, Fang Zheng did not relax his vigilance. After bidding farewell to the Golden Dragon sister, he walked towards the airport with Bishop Karl.

"Everything is normal inside the holy city, without any problems."

Bishop Karl also shook his head.

"We didn't find any foreign intruders, and there was no sign of the barrier being broken."

"Sorry, that might just be my nervousness, maybe I should go see a doctor sometime."

Fangzheng felt a little sorry for making Bishop Carl tired for so long. After all, the old bishop was supposed to hang out in the banquet hall leisurely, but because of his own warning, he was personally responsible for the security of the banquet. Fangzheng also had to apologize to the other party.

"It's nothing, after all, it's best if nothing happens... Then, be careful all the way, Your Excellency Fangzheng."

"OK."

Arriving at the airport pier, Fang Zheng nodded to Bishop Karl, and then walked towards the platform at the end of the airport. Seeing the arrival of the crowd, the paladin standing there in charge of guarding also lowered his head and bowed respectfully to Fangzheng and the others.

But at this moment, Fangzheng suddenly felt a pain in his right eye, and then the future three seconds later observed by his right eye became fragmented at this moment!

not good!

Although he didn't know what was going on, Fang Zheng, who had been prepared all the time, also jumped back immediately!

And at this moment, a paladin on the left side in front of Fangzheng suddenly raised his head, and then he looked at Fangzheng with a ferocious smile on his face. Afterwards, Fang Zheng saw the paladin take out a dagger from his waist, and then pulled it out of the sheath suddenly!

And just as he saw the dagger unsheathed, the world around Fangzheng suddenly changed!
