Chapter 687 Anything that Can Be Solved with Money Is No Big Deal!

Facts have proved that although the light is dazzling, what can really tempt people are the shiny gold coins!

After 'Xiao Jing' made a little caution, the middle-aged cleric's attitude changed instantly. He politely invited Tang En and others into a side hall, served tea, and politely told him not to walk around casually. He needed to ask for instructions from an adult or something. . .

Tang En smiled and nodded in agreement. He kept watching the middle-aged clergyman closing the door and leaving. Then he smiled and shook his head, and asked the other two senior elders to sit back in their seats. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, gold coins are indeed a good thing...

"Hmph, what the hell! Dog eyes can see people..." There were only Tang En and three other people in the small side hall, so the senior old man immediately put away his previous respectful expression and curled his lips with great disdain.

Another old man also nodded in agreement, with a look of disdain on his face, and sneered twice: "Haha, if it weren't for us, these parasites would have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind!"

This is the truth. Tang En also understood it after being reminded just now.

After all, Holy Light City is different from other places. Although on the surface, the status of the clergy here is much higher than that of the clergy in churches outside. But the actual opportunity to reach out and fish for good fortune is extremely rare.

After all, there are many believers here, and there are many people with mixed eyes. Even a high-ranking person would not dare to do excessive things for the sake of influence. In this case, not to mention the low-level middle-aged clergy just now, as well as the bright knights guarding the gate and other small fish and shrimps.

It is precisely because of this that after knowing that Tang En and the others had arrived, these people deliberately acted enthusiastic or condescending, waiting for Tang En and the others to take the initiative to show their respect... The general meaning was that they wanted both money and face!

After understanding this situation, Tang En touched a few thick golden tickets in his arms and couldn't help but feel a little more confident about the situation he was going to face next. As long as you have money, it will be easy to handle. Anything that can be solved with money is no big deal!

But then, Tang En and the others waited in this silent side hall for a long time. It was not until noon that the door was finally pushed open...

The visitor was an old man with white hair and sunken eyes. He was dressed in a dark red robe with complicated and exquisite patterns on the collar.

When Tang En and the others saw this, they immediately stood up and gave a respectful half-length salute: "I have met Lord Byron!"

Byron, Cardinal, one of the supreme leaders of the Northern Temple.

With an expressionless face, Byron didn't seem to see Tang En and others. With a gloomy expression, he went straight to the top position in the side hall and sat down.

The situation is not good... Tang En exchanged glances with the other two senior senior men, looking terrified, and did not dare to lift up his bent waist.

Silence, silence! Faint light shines through the colored crystal glass, spilling onto the ground. The vague noise came from outside the house and gradually became silent.

I don't know how long it took, but when the two senior senior men's legs were shaking due to bending for a long time, a cold snort finally broke the silence of the side hall, "Humph, you did a good job!"

As he finished speaking, a piece of paper floated down from above and landed in front of Tang En and the others.

Tang En leaned over to pick it up, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows.

On the paper, it was written that the entire elite team of the temple was wiped out. Tang En originally thought that the temple did not know about this so quickly, but he did not expect that the other party had already received the news... But when he looked at Owens at the place where the payment was made, Tang En suddenly understood.

Bang, bang... When the two senior old men saw this, their legs softened, their faces turned pale, and they immediately fell to their knees.

Huh, can you be more reserved... Tang En cursed secretly, but he knelt down on one knee in frustration, sweating all over his head, and said urgently, "Sir, please listen to our explanation, there is another hidden reason in this matter."

"Explanation..." Byron narrowed his cloudy old eyes, with a stern look on his face, "One Holy Grand Knight Commander, five Temple High Priests, more than ten senior light mages, hundreds of Holy Light Knights... and they still have the nerve to follow. What explanation can I give? Why don’t you die!”

Bang, he slapped the seat hard, waved his hand and shot out three light arrows, which instantly hit Tang En and the three people below. Bang bang bang... Tang En and the others naturally did not dare to hide. His chest felt tight, he opened his mouth and sprayed out blood mist, rolling to the threshold of the side hall.

Fortunately, I was prepared... During the roll, Tang En pressed his chest, and the water bag filled with blood burst immediately. The clothes on his chest were instantly soaked in large amounts of blood, making him look extremely miserable.

There was no way, Tang En's perverted physique was there. No matter how powerful Byron was, as long as he didn't kill him, an attack of this level with a slight punishment really couldn't hurt him.

Of course, he still looked like he was dying on the surface, whining bitterly, "Ahem... Sir, cough... please listen to our explanation. If you are still dissatisfied later, it won't be too late to kill us, Sir..."

When Byron heard this, his face fell like water and he said nothing.

Tang En just took him as his acquiescence and quickly told the story that the old man in brown clothes was an internal assassination. You must know that although Zachary's identity is the head of the Bounty Hunter Guild, to put it bluntly, he is just a puppet. His actual power can only cover branch guild matters. For example, the appointment and dismissal of figures such as the old man in brown is the ability of the senior officials of the Temple of Light. decided things.

Therefore, Tang En and others now insist that the old man in brown clothes is an internal annihilation, so the destruction of the reinforcement team is not to blame on them, but on some high-level officials of the temple who are unaware of the investigation.

Furthermore, from Zachary's mouth, Tang En also knew the general situation inside the temple. It is not as united and friendly as it seems on the surface. On the contrary, they competed fiercely with each other. The person standing behind the old man in brown clothes was not the Byron in front of him, but another important figure from the Temple Association.

In fact, Byron has something to do with the person behind Zachary. This should be the reason why he just gave him a light punishment, instead of shouting to kill him as soon as he came up.

Sure enough, although Byron's expression was still gloomy, when he heard that the old man in brown clothes was seeking internal annihilation, his eyes flashed a few times, and he seemed to be a little touched.

Tang En was overjoyed when he saw this, there is a way! He quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued,

"...It's this despicable villain who caused the death and injury of most of the guild colleagues, and caused the misfortune of all the adults... From the beginning to the end, we didn't even have time to see the adults who came for reinforcements... Now that despicable villain He has been executed. We found several letters on his body that have not yet been sent out. He, he actually wants to kill us all and kill us... My lord, now his body and the evidence of his letters are outside the temple door. If you don't believe it, you can Send someone to check..."

These words were naturally false, but as the old man in brown clothes was simply killed by Tang En, the matter had already been settled. As for the letter evidence and so on, it was prepared by Tang En and two other high-level old men together... At this time, it is not important at all to lie and frame up. What is important is how to find someone to take the blame and how to protect oneself. Little life!

The two high-level old men who have managed to reach their current status are naturally mature people. As soon as Tang En started, they immediately had the courage to cry out for injustice, crying all the time, which was really pitiful.

"Shut up!" A sharp shout echoed in the hall. Byron squinted his old eyes, a cold light flickering, "That's all?"

The two senior old men trembled when they heard this, thinking that Byron had murderous intentions, and their expressions turned pale.

However, when Tang En heard this noncommittal tone, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Of course not, sir, I still have a piece of evidence..."

After saying that, he stood up crookedly and trotted all the way to Byron, blocking the sight of the two old men below. He reached out and took out two thick bundles of gold tickets stained with blood.

Then, he moved his palm so that the number 10,000, symbolizing the maximum amount, on the golden ticket was facing Byron, making it extremely conspicuous.

Tang En is also taking a gamble. Byron has a high position and does not seem to need to pay attention to money and other external things. But as mentioned just now, this is the City of Holy Light, and there are too few opportunities to make money.

The profits earned by the Bounty Hunter Guild every quarter are directly given to the Temple Association, not the City of Holy Light. Of course, this quarter's profit was now in Tang En's hands, and he swallowed it honestly and unceremoniously... In any case, this money would never pass through Byron's hands.

Therefore, as long as Byron is greedy for money, he should not refuse the temptation of at least two million gold tickets, even if it contains blood!

The side hall fell into silence again at this moment, one second, two seconds...

Tang En's lowered gaze gradually became colder, and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly. He came here to find evidence this time, so naturally he could not let Byron handle this matter. So if this plan fails, Tang En will take action instantly and kill Byron in front of him!

Three seconds, four seconds...the dagger slipped from his cuff.

The distance between the two was too close, only a few steps away. Within this range, Tang En was confident to kill anyone!

Five seconds! The red robe was suddenly waved in front of his eyes. Tang En only felt a light touch on his hand, and he shook it in the air. The two thick gold tickets had disappeared.

"Ahem..." After coughing a few times, Byron gave Tang En a meaningful look and nodded slightly, "Since there is indeed something hidden about this matter, then I need to think about it carefully. Well, you guys go back first. Bar."

After a pause, he straightened his robe and said, "Don't worry, the temple will not wrongly accuse any innocent person."

You are very particular about people... After sighing secretly, Tang En nodded knowingly, bowed and saluted: "Thank you, sir."

The two old men below saw the situation suddenly turn around and couldn't help but be overjoyed. They stood up and bowed repeatedly, "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."

In the midst of ecstasy, they couldn't help but wonder what Zachary had done just now, which actually caused Byron to change his mind in just a few seconds.

But no matter how hard they tried, they never expected that 'Zachary' would be so bold as to take the guild's profits and then give them away generously... You know, this is also a brain-breaking thing! Of course, if it's not his own money, Tang En won't care about it...

Just when the atmosphere in the side hall relaxed instantly, and Tang En and others recognized each other and said goodbye after a few words of conversation, suddenly, a burst of rapid shouting came from outside the hall,

"Who... eh? Your Excellency is meeting with an important guest... Knight Commander Xavian, you can't come in, you can't come in... My Lord, My Lord..."
