Chapter 690 The Devil’s Bewitchment

"Where are you from, little brother?"

"Sir, my hometown is Valley Town. Well, it's an inconspicuous town, hundreds of miles away from here."

"Wally Town? Haha, what a coincidence. My name also has the word "Li" in it. It seems that we are very compatible. Well, no wonder I felt more friendly when I saw you just now."

"Huh? Your Excellency..."

"Haha, don't be so outgoing, just call me Zachary. Or Mr. Klee or something, that sounds more friendly. Well, who else is at home?"

…

Not far from the side hall, Tang En briefly observed the young knight leading the way, and then started chatting with him in a familiar and friendly manner.

The young knight was obviously unable to withstand this kind of kindness, and replied with some restraint: "Zha...Master Klee, I have a sister at home and an elderly mother."

"Then their lives must be very difficult, right? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a bit straight-talking. If I hurt you unintentionally, I'll apologize in advance."

"Uh, it's okay, it's okay..." The young knight quickly blocked Tang En's pretentious apology and rubbed his hands, "Actually, it's okay. After I became a temple knight, I got money every month. Although it's not much, but I basically don’t need to spend anything here, and it’s enough for my mother and sister to send it back.”

It has to be said that in the alien world, a system where royal power and divine power are supreme, the wealth gap between ordinary civilians and nobles is still quite large.

It is precisely because of this that if a civilian family has a child with good martial arts talent, they will usually choose to send him to the temple. In this way, it can reduce the burden on the family, and secondly, it can also provide an opportunity for gambling. As long as the child can pass the training and assessment, and eventually become a qualified temple knight. Then, like this young knight, he can receive salary compensation and improve his family's financial situation.

It is worth mentioning that if any child is found to have the physique of a magician, it can basically mean a rapid rise to prominence. Of course, this probability is very, very low, unless there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave... This is not a joke. Although there is no factual basis, most children who awaken the magician talent will basically have a magician ancestor if they trace their ancestors for eight generations.

"Oh, that's it." Tang En nodded after hearing this and sighed, "It's still very hard. I heard that ordinary knights don't get much money every month..."

"Actually, there are quite a few..."

Waving his hand to interrupt the young knight's rebuttal, Tang En changed the subject, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said in a sad voice, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Zach, I grew up in a very poor family. What I remember most is that whenever I think about it, When you want to spend a copper coin, you will first guess the heads and tails..."

"Uh, why?"

"The heads are spent, the tails are not spent... Hiss... Well, I'm sorry, I lost my composure!" He rubbed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath, then lowered his head, and Tang En grabbed the young knight's shoulders tightly, "From now on From then on, the last thing I wanted to see was anyone suffering."

He took out his sleeves and took out a gold ticket with a face value of one thousand and put it into the young knight's hand. "Here you go, is it enough? If it's not enough, tell me..."

"Huh? No, no, no..." After seeing clearly that he was holding a thousand gold tickets, the young knight hurriedly waved his hand as if he had grabbed a piece of burning charcoal and was about to send the gold ticket back, "I can't have it, Master Klee. , I can’t ask for this money! The temple has regulations and clergy cannot accept gifts from believers..."

"Take it, listen to me... you listen to me first!" Tang En said, twisting his wrists, with a firm look on his face, "Mr. Klee, I am not short of money, and the nickname of Shanhai City's great benefactor is not for nothing. A transaction worth tens of thousands per minute, this thousand gold coins is just a matter of a few meals to me. But this is different for you, think about your elderly mother, think about your sister who is growing up..."

When the young knight heard this, his body trembled and his arms froze. Tang En continued, "Don't you want to hire a doctor for your elderly mother to do a comprehensive physical examination? You don't want to buy her the best clothes, the best clothes?" Food? You don’t want her to no longer have to think about the tight daily expenses when time is running out, and she doesn’t need to worry about buying meat for a long time... Think about your sister again, she always wants to She's getting married, don't you hope she can buy a beautiful outfit? A decent dowry?"

The young knight looked stunned: "But... my sister is only eight years old..."

"Huh? Ahem... That's not the point. She will get married eventually, right?" He closed the young knight's palm holding a thousand gold tickets, tightened it, then patted it again, and then released it. Tang En's mouth curled up slightly. Shangyang said, "You don't need to think too much. You must know that it is because of the existence of you knights of light that the evil heretics in the world do not dare to act recklessly. You have paid your own blood and even your lives for this, so you should take this money!"

"Should we... take it?" The young knight was in a daze, and the veins on the palm of his hand holding the gold ticket were bulging, a bit ferocious.

I have to say that sometimes, no matter whether it is good or bad, you only need a reason to convince yourself, and then you can do it.

"Yes!" Tang En replied in a firm tone, smacking his lips secretly in his heart. Could his behavior be considered the devil's temptation? Tsk tsk, it seems that I am not a good person after all...

Shaking his head slightly, and instantly brushing away the distracting thoughts, Tang En said with a smile: "If you are still feeling a little uncomfortable, well, then do me a favor. Let's exchange of equal value, so you should feel much better."

"Huh? Master Klee, what do you say?" the young knight asked, both a little tempted and a little wary.

"Haha, it's actually very simple." Tang En stretched out his arm and pointed around, "You, Mr. Klee, are a believer, but I'm ashamed that you don't come here much. Nowadays, it's rare to have free time to come here, so I just want to walk around. Let’s take a look around and find someone to introduce me to the temple architecture. This will fulfill my dream of coming here this time.”

"That's all?" The young knight breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was completely relieved and bowed and said, "As long as you don't think I'm stupid, I'm willing to accompany you around and introduce you to the various conditions in the temple."

Ha, done! The purpose of Tang En's coming here was to steal and record evidence, but now that he had just arrived, he naturally had no clue about the hiding place. And if someone familiar with the matter can introduce it on his behalf, it will undoubtedly help him quickly locate the target range.

Laughing and shaking his head, "Haha, of course not, I like honest people. Let's go, I can't wait!"

"As you wish, Master Klee..."

…………

Just when Tang En succeeded in deceiving the honest man, a secret room was sealed somewhere in the temple. A small meeting initiated by Byron among several senior officials of the Northern Temple also officially began.

"This problem must be solved, and Xia Wei'an must be punished!" At the beginning of the meeting, Byron, who had a bloody wound wrapped around his forehead, took the lead in setting the tone and became angry. "What right does she have to hurt my people at will? What right does she have to kill the senior members of the Bounty Hunter Guild at will? Moreover, she wants to kill me, everyone, she wants to kill me today..."

"Ahem, Bishop Byron, calm down, please control your emotions." An old man, also wearing a dark red robe and with a foot of white beard, said helplessly.

"I can't calm down. Haven't you seen how arrogant she is today? If someone hadn't been watching, she would have dared to kill me today!"

"Bishop Byron, this is too exaggerated. How could she kill you..." After a pause, the white-bearded old man rubbed his eyebrows, "Besides, in fact, she only killed two people from the Bounty Hunter Guild today. . Not to mention that our rights are not enough to put pressure on the Knights Hall. Even if we do it, with her past achievements, no one will do anything to her."

When Byron heard this, he immediately became angry: "What does this mean? Do I have to be killed before she can get the punishment she deserves?"

The secret room was silent, and the five or six bishops were silent when they heard the words.

To a certain extent, this also acquiesces to Byron's words - you said that Xia Wei'an wanted to kill you, but now you are standing here alive, and the only injured part of your body is because you were unable to react in time. His head was hit by a collapsing wall... How do you ask everyone to punish Xia Wei'an, who has outstanding achievements?

Isn’t this nonsense... (To be continued.)
