Chapter 841, Confrontation with the Vatican
Island Master's Mansion.
After Wu Heng simply washed up, Minnie came in with a dress.
While helping him put it on, she said, "I heard from Sister Weier that after the church reopened, they became more and more excessive. At first, they had conflicts with the surrounding shops, and then they had conflicts. Recently, they even dared to confront the guards."
It seems that during the time he was away, the Holy See felt that Treasure Island was relatively weak and became more and more aggressive.
"Are you testing the bottom line from this!" Wu Heng straightened his back, and Minnie took the ironing machine and swept the wrinkles on the clothes.
"Ah? Does it mean that they are getting more and more excessive?" Minnie had never heard of this word and asked curiously.
Wu Heng explained, "It's just a test of your tolerance. The more you can tolerate, the more they will push you."
"I see. The master is still cultured." Minnie helped him put on his clothes, then stood in front of him and looked carefully, smiling, "The master is really beautiful."
"You are also very cute." Wu Heng pinched her face and said, "I'm going to the association. Let Wei'er and the others come back early for dinner in the evening."
"Okay, master." Minnie smiled and went downstairs to call Ande Wei'er.
Wu Heng turned on the [Mansion Technique], and Kaxiu and Shanshan came out.
Kaxiu was still wearing a training robe with a hood covering his head.
Shanshan was wearing a huge loose cloak that covered his whole body. Because the wings on his back were arched, he looked like a hunched old man.
"Let's go, go out with me." Wu Heng said to the two skeletons, opened the door and walked out.
Go to the study and open the door. I see three ghosts chatting inside. "I'm going to the association. Is anyone going?"
"I, I'll go!" Xiaoxiao immediately raised her hand.
Glenda and Benny also flew out.
Wu Heng took them downstairs and used [Teleportation] in the courtyard to disappear.
When he appeared again, he had arrived at the deacon's mansion of Xilagui.
There were not many places that he could teleport completely and accurately, and the deacon's mansion was one of them.
The mansion was empty, with only a few skeletons guarding it.
Wu Heng took the skeletons and entered the association building directly from the back door.
...
Walked into the association.
Wu Heng walked forward in the cold corridor.
Halfway through the walk, he could hear the noise and figures coming from the opposite hall.
Playing the role of the second prince, he borrowed the meeting room of the local association.
The association over there was unusually deserted, and there were not even a few staff members.
Arriving in front of the deacon's study, Wu Heng knocked on the door.
"Come in!" a voice came from the room.
Wu Heng pushed the door and walked in, and saw the elf sisters sitting in the room.
"I'm back."
"Wu Heng!" Sister Shi Yali exclaimed, her face full of joy.
Sister Xilagui also smiled, "Just now, Jiadain said that someone took the emblem of the flag bearer, so we suspected that you were back."
Wu Heng sat down and asked with a smile, "Did you miss me?"
"Yes!" Shi Yali said.
Xilagui rolled her eyes at her sister, "Why would I miss you? You have an island and you're still running around."
Shi Yali walked out of her seat and went to the counter to make tea for him. She said casually, "Don't listen to her stubbornness. She still calls your name when she goes to bed at night."
"Shi Yali!" Xilagui shouted with some embarrassment.
Shi Yali turned around and smiled, and blinked at Wu Heng.
Xilagui was about to talk about business, but her eyes fell on the two figures behind him who followed him in.
One of them can be identified as the skeleton attendant ‘Kaxiu’, and the other one….
He looks tall, but why is he hunchbacked?
“Is this your new skeleton attendant?”
Wu Heng turned around and looked in the direction of Xilagui, and said, “Yes, the newly acquired skeleton attendant.”
“Old man skeleton?”
“Old man?” Wu Heng looked back again, “It’s not an old man, but his body structure is a bit special.”
Xilagui then asked, “Where is Keranmu?”
Before he was killed, Keranmu was a famous bounty hunter, and with the evil sword in his hand, his combat power was not low.
He was eliminated.
“He was assigned another task.” Wu Heng said.
Xilagui nodded, and did not ask any more questions. She led the topic to this incident and said, "Our people interrogated the Holy See and the man. The people from the Holy See said that the man followed them all the way, and they arrested him because they suspected that he had some purpose."
After a slight pause, he continued, "The man lives on Lighthouse Street, has a wife at home, and works at the dock on weekdays. He himself does not admit that he followed the people from the Holy See..."
This kind of thing is not a big deal in Treasure Island.
On the road, if someone's things are stolen, they will consider themselves unlucky. If they catch the thief, beat him up and take away his things, the guards will not care.
Before Wu Heng came back, the association team met him, asked about the situation, and let him go.
Wu Heng said, "Tell me about the situation of the Holy See first."
"Shi Yali!" Xilagui shouted.
Shi Yali first placed the brewed tea in front of Wu Heng, then took out a notebook, flipped through two pages and said, "On the third day after you left, the church reopened. The archbishop stationed at the church is called 'Yuan', who is also a well-known person in the Vatican. There are also three or four other level 18 personnel, but the exact number is not clear yet."
Level 19 Archbishop!
During this period, Wu Heng dealt with the second prince's affairs and met fourth-level professionals, but they all stayed at level 18.
It gives people the feeling that level 18 is a big hurdle.
Unexpectedly, when I returned to Treasure Island, I was actually assigned a 19th-level archbishop by the Holy See.
In addition, there are three to four level 18 professionals.
I really admire Treasure Island. I am afraid that there are few such configurations in the entire Emerald Sea.
"Is the archbishop a priest?" Wu Heng asked.
Sheila Gui and Shi Yali both looked at him curiously.
Regarding the arrival of a level 19 professional on the island, he didn't seem to show any strange emotions, but was instead curious.
"It's a priest." Shi Yali replied, and then said: "Did you know in advance?"
"I don't know!"
"Level 19, you will become a hero soon. Aren't you worried?" Shi Yali continued to ask.
Sheila Gui also looked over.
Wu Heng said calmly: "What are you worried about? If it doesn't work, I will go to the association and file a complaint. We will make each other feel disgusted."
The two women were stunned, and looked over again, as if to say, it is indeed you.
Wu Heng then asked, "Weier said that sometimes when the Vatican rings the bell, the approaching skeletons will be unstable. Do you know the reason for this?"
Sheila Gui shook her head, "I also talked with Anderweil about this. I suspect it is a tool to restrain the undead. The Holy See has many tools in this regard."
"Don't you know the specific effect?" Wu Heng asked.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I don't know! Try to keep peace with them before you come back." Sheela Gui said.
Wu Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.
In addition to the impact of ringing the bell on the skeleton, the ghost also developed a sense of crisis when it tried to penetrate the church.
In other words, the Holy See is fully prepared to restrain the skeletons and prevent ghosts from peeking into the church.
Very professional.
Dong dong dong~!
There was a knock on the door, and then a voice came in, "Deacon, the archbishop of the Holy See is here and is heading this way."
The three people in the room looked at each other instantly and frowned.
"Let him go to the conference room." Wu Heng whispered.
Sheila Gui said to the door: "Please go to the conference room, Archbishop, we will go there immediately."
"Yes!" The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.
Sheila Gui said directly: "It should be about detaining members of the Holy See. Are you going to come forward later? Or just let them go."
"If we let him go today, they will still dare to arrest people on the road tomorrow."
Sheela's brows were still frowning, "The Holy See has the ability to identify lies, and can easily verify whether the man is following. When the two sides confront each other, it will only intensify the conflict."
Let alone a level 19 archbishop, just arrange a level 15 priest to test whether that sloppy man is lying.
At that time, the people from the Holy See will still be released, and the conflicts between the two sides will also intensify.
Wu Heng shook his head and said, "Let's go there first and see what they say."
"Okay." Sheela stood up and straightened his clothes.
We walked out of the office study together.
…
corridor.
The three of them, plus two skeleton attendants, headed to the conference hall in the corridor.
Halfway through, the ghost flew into the body, and a scene was shared.
People from the Holy See came in from outside.
The leader walked in the front wearing papal robes, with 19-level light beams rising into the sky.
There are two people behind him, one on the left and one on the right. On the left is a priest dressed as a priest, and on the right is a Vatican knight wearing Vatican armor.
Both of them are level 18 professionals.
Following them were six other professionals, with levels between 12 and 15.
What a gorgeous lineup.
"Try not to conflict with them. The Holy See's heritage is beyond our comparison." Sheila Gui instructed as she walked.
Shi Yali also said, "When you reach a higher level, you won't be afraid of them anymore."
Wu Heng smiled and said, "I know, don't worry."
There were some people standing at the door of the conference room.
Four guards from the Holy See and several team members from the association.
After the three people leaned over.
After the team members saluted, they whispered, "The Archbishop is inside, and he seems a little uneasy."
Sheila Gui nodded, "Well, you can just stay here."
After saying that, he knocked on the door lightly.
Taking Wu Heng and Shi Yali, they opened the door and walked in.
…
conference room.
Across the conference table, several religious personnel were already sitting.
Sitting in the first position at the head was the 19th-level archbishop, followed by the 18th-level priest and the 18th-level Holy See knight.
There were two other religious personnel standing behind.
Seeing a few people coming in, the archbishop looked at Wu Heng specifically, withdrew his gaze, and said with a serious expression on his face, "Deacon Xilagui."
Sheila Gui introduced directly, "This is Archbishop Euan."
Then, he introduced Wu Heng, "Wu Heng, the owner of Treasure Island, the flag bearer of the Emerald Sea, and the supervisor of the association."
A series of names have firmly tied Wu Heng's identity to the association.
The Holy See has always been strong in doing things, but it must also abide by the rules of the association.
You can't really do anything to Wu Heng because of this incident.
After all, the leaders at the association headquarters are paying more attention to him.
The archbishop was still sitting in his seat, without any intention of greeting, and he went straight to the point and said, "Deacon Xilagui, our people were arrested for no reason, and I need a reasonable explanation."
Xilagui saw that the other party brought up this matter directly, and followed up with: "Making trouble in the commercial street and beating others have serious impacts on the island's public security and the reputation of the Holy See. Your Excellency the Archbishop, don't you think they should be arrested?"
