Chapter 803 Please Let Me Be a Deserter for Once
(ps: The civet cat is going to Zhejiang to see his little niece. I originally planned to go in a few days, but it’s a pity. Plans can never keep up with changes. The civet cat will get in the car later and arrive in the middle of the night. Alas, I couldn’t save it. The manuscript... I’ll just give you 3,001 chapters today, and the civet cat will see if I can make up for it tomorrow. Sorry, I can’t guarantee it, but the civet cat will do its best!!!)
At noon, the sun is in the middle of the sky, hovering over the city.
Wisps of black smoke curled up, and when they reached a certain height, they were blown away by the biting cold wind. Don't get me wrong, this is not smoke, although it is indeed lunch time. But the lively scene in Holy Light City in the past has long since disappeared, replaced by gloom and silence.
As far as the eye can see, piles of ruins are scattered all over the city, and everything is devastated. It was originally a warm home for the previous believer residents, but the current owner stood aside and looked at it stupidly, but could no longer find any familiar feeling in it. For a long time, I couldn't help but hide my face and lower my head, my slight sobs drifted away in the wind, echoing faintly over the city...
This is not the most messy place, the worst place is the center of the city - the Northern Temple Association.
Here, most of the temple landscapes that people talked about before have now been reduced to ruins, or simply disappeared. Vaguely, you can still see some mutilated limbs and bloody corpses mixed in, exposed to the sun, it looks creepy. But now no one is going to clean it up. The people who are still alive are lying or sitting, like sculptures, without any sign of life...
The death energy soaring into the sky made the scorching sun in the sky seem a bit unbearable, and he quickly hid behind the flowing clouds. Immediately, a large shadow suddenly fell. It looks like this land that has been favored by the gods for thousands of years has now been ruthlessly abandoned by the gods. It no longer has the glory of the past and is dim and gloomy!
Beside the small river, Xia Wei sat quietly for a while, looking at the slow water in front of her with dull eyes. The unique smell of fresh soil surrounded her nose, a little awake, but also a little stale...
He did it... broke into the Temple of Light single-handedly, left a mess on the ground and left... He actually did it...
As a clergyman, seeing the current state of the temple, he didn't want to think of humiliation and revenge, but he was always shocked by the miraculous act of the perpetrator - this was a bit unreasonable.
However, the actual situation is that Xia Wei'an is not the only one who thinks this way. The people in the temple who are slumped like sculptures have roughly the same thoughts in their minds. What may be slightly different is that they are even more incomprehensible and completely unacceptable...
We are the Temple of Light, a Temple of Light with thousands of years of foundation and power that extends to every inch of Bran’s territory! What is that Tang En? Just a little assassin with some strength and a few subordinates... But why did we lose? Still failed so miserably? I can’t figure it out! ! ! ah……
"What are you thinking about?" Owens walked over slowly and looked down at the newly opened river that divided the temple into two. He smiled bitterly at first, then shook his head mockingly and whispered, "Actually... overall, With the addition of such a river, the temple has become quite good."
This is true. Although the T-shaped river currently divides the temple into two. But overall, especially when viewed from above, the layout of the temple is not much damaged. On the contrary, it is more elegant and lively. If a few more arch bridges are built over the river, it will be an even better sight.
Of course, after knowing the details, it would be a bit heartbreaking to hear these words. I believe that if this word reaches the ears of people in other temples, Owens will stop thinking about it.
But of course Xia Wei'an didn't think so, and she didn't express any opinion on it. She just pursed her lips and said, "My lords...how are you doing?"
The so-called adults are naturally the top ten temple officials. Although the embarrassing scene of escaping without a fight was really unsightly. But after Veron turned into a ball of meat paste, the overall situation of the temple had to be presided over by these noble figures.
"What else can I do?" Owens smiled disapprovingly, "He was scolding people there, discussing how to retaliate against Tang En and the others... Haha, it's quite rare, but now he seems to have a lot of backbone!" Obviously, this is definitely not the case. Praise.
Shaking his head, Owens continued, "Don't think about it. After Tang En made such a fuss, the association will definitely send someone to intervene. Well, this place is ruined. There is no chance of turning around in a short time!"
Xia Wei'an nodded sadly, his status was not low, so he naturally knew what strategy the temple's higher-ups would adopt. It can be said that although the temple will not withdraw from the north, its vitality has been severely damaged after this battle, and its hope of turning around has also been wiped out. There is no need to think about a comeback in a short time... Turning to the side, listening to the faint sound coming from the distance Weeping, sighing and murmuring: "In the end, it is the thousands of believers in the north who are hurt... They still had hope before..."
"This is something that can't be helped... maybe it's a good thing. After this incident, since it has been determined that it will be difficult to kill Tang En, the next focus of the senior management will probably be on the temple itself." The guess sounds reasonable, but Owens, who is familiar with the behavior of the temple's top brass, spoke out at this time just to dispel Xavian's negative mentality.
He paused, shook his head slightly, and changed the topic, "Speaking of believers, some believers and residents are gathering outside the temple now, hoping to get an explanation. Some of them want to see you by name, saying that they only believe in you. Well, they are quite emotional. ,look……"
Not to mention the huge commotion in the temple just now, even if their own homes were innocently demolished, the believers would come over and demand an explanation. As for only looking for Xia Wei'an... I have to say that the recent actions of Xia Wei'an and the Puritans have indeed given the believers strong confidence and positive perceptions.
Compared with the Puritans who remain faceless all year round, the famous Xia Wei'an is undoubtedly easier to be accepted by believers. To a certain extent, Xia Wei'an has now become a symbol of the temple's positive image. So once something goes wrong, the only person believers trust most is Xia Wei'an!
"Let's go! Go now!" Xia Wei'an's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he quickly stood up, turned around and responded very simply.
"Hey, wait, you don't tell the truth, you have to think about your wording no matter what..." Owens quickly grabbed Xia Wei'an, his tone was urgent.
It's not surprising that he had such a big reaction. Telling the truth is good, but telling the truth completely may not be appropriate, and not everyone may like to hear it. For example, if we tell the truth about this matter now, "Oh, this is the matter." This is a failure of our calculation, and we deceive people and get deceived instead. Archbishop Veron is dead and the temple was cut in two, but it's not a big deal... What, your house was destroyed by us? Oh, that was just our guy having a fit. Well, don’t worry about these details...'
Unimaginable! What wonderful expressions would those believers have if they heard this truth...
Xia Wei'an frowned slightly, naturally knowing what Owens was thinking, and replied angrily: "I'm not an idiot!"
"Oh? Really... Ahem, what, I still believe you. It's just, it's just..." Owens, who accidentally told the truth, looked at Xia Wei'an's hand tightening the spear, and suddenly he was sweating profusely, and his head was knotted. Stuttering.
"Just what?" Xia Wei'an looked extremely calm, but the tip of the gun was raised a little more. Obviously, if Owens doesn't give a satisfactory answer, the result will be unthinkable...
"Uh..." With his mind spinning, Owens suddenly raised his eyebrows, which actually made him think of an excuse, and he said hurriedly, "But before that, what we have to consider first is not the sentence Tang En left. Words?"
"Huh?" He had originally planned to teach Owens, who was always outspoken, a lesson, but when Xia Wei'an heard this, he couldn't help being startled and her expression softened slightly.
Upon seeing this, Owens scratched his hair and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead without leaving a trace: "What? You forgot so quickly? Then before Tang En left, didn't he tell us to be careful with the senior officials of the Temple Association... Of course, this sounds true. It seems to be sowing discord. But I have to say that this possibility is not small, and judging from his relationship with you... and us, such a solemn explanation may have received some news... …In short, don’t be careless about this! Huh…”
After saying these words intermittently and sweating profusely, Owens breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been fighting for three days and three nights! Damn it, there are so many pitfalls in talking, can we still have fun together...
Xia Wei'an naturally didn't know about Owens's slander and didn't care. He pursed his lips and frowned, thinking that when the temple was cut in two and everyone was stunned, Tang En took the opportunity to escape and leave. However, it did not directly take off into the air. Instead, a voice was heard ten feet away from her, telling her to be careful of the higher-ups of the Temple Association, and then disappeared...
This is not sowing discord!
Although there was no factual basis, Xia Wei'an somehow accepted this message. But, be careful of the higher-ups in the temple... Are they trying to frame me again? Why?
It has to be said that perhaps even Xia Wei'an herself did not realize it. Unknowingly, she was no longer the simple knight captain who only followed the orders of the top officials of the temple.
If two years ago, someone had told Xia Wei'an that the temple's higher-ups wanted to kill her, Xia Wei'an would have made the choice to immediately shoot and kill this evil heretic with evil intentions.
But now, after being falsely accused by Byron and others, Xia Wei'an is a little sensitive to this kind of thing... After a moment of silence, she took a slight breath and strode away, "Go and see the believers first."
"What about this?"
"Go and investigate. You are more suitable for this kind of thing than me." After a pause, Xia Wei'an did not look back and said slightly hoarsely, "Sorry... please let me be a deserter."
Owens was stunned for a moment, then nodded and chuckled: "I'm happy to oblige!"
