Chapter 169: I don't want to die

During his eight years as an apprentice magician, Leo had read many, many books, some of which had to do with magic, and some of which had nothing to do with magic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and among those books, there is a sentence written: "There is never a perfect lie in this world, as long as it is false, there will always be a day when it will be exposed." ”

At that time, Leo kept this sentence firmly in his heart because he wanted to be an honest person who drew a line between lies and lies. But this world is never about what you want to become, and you will definitely be able to become. Fate always seems to play tricks on people, maybe someone once left a very hateful impression in your heart, but when time passes, will you be horrified to find that you have become the kind of person you once hated the most?

Whether Leo wanted it or not, the moment he replaced Anthony as Bishop of Varna, he was already destined to carry the lie on his shoulders and suffer the consequences that followed.

Leo is well aware of the consequences of this lie. What he wants to deceive is not just one person or group of people, but the largest sect in the world, the Church of Light with millions or even tens of millions of believers. It is an organization that is even stronger than most countries, and it also has the protection of a powerful god like the Supreme God of Light.

Leo didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

From the day he realized this fact, Leo had been planning a retreat for himself.

Running away is the easiest way to think of, and at the same time the stupidest. If Leo chooses to escape, then he will be identified as the murderer of the original bishop Antonidas, and will be wanted by the Church of Light, pursued by the judges, and even the uncle and aunt who raised him so hard.

What's more, in addition to the church, Leo also has Darwin's existence by his side, because of the soul slavery contract on Darwin's body, although it seems that Leo and Darwin seem to have some kind of ally-like relationship, but in fact, as long as Leo has a conflict with Lei Feng, the owner of that soul contract, Darwin will definitely stand on Lei Feng's side. There is no doubt that the idea of escaping will definitely anger the green-hatted gray-clad Lord Lei Feng, so if Leo does escape, I am afraid that the first person to come to hunt down Leo is not a member of the church, but Darwin, who has been with Leo for so many days.

To run away is to choose death, and it is likely to be a terrible death.

There is a second way, and that is power. With enough strength, he can protect himself under the hands of Lei Feng, a powerhouse in the Church and the Holy Domain. However, Leo's strength at the moment is obviously too far behind, and the biggest reliance in his body, Xiaobai in the Holy Pill, has never responded to Leo's call since the day of the Light Sacrifice.

Then there is only a third way, and that is negotiation.

This path seemed to sound even more unreliable, what bargaining chips did a small third-level cultivator have to negotiate with a behemoth like the Church of Light?

Sell Lei Feng's intelligence in exchange for his life? But for Leo, everything about Lord Lei Feng is as mysterious as hiding in the mist, he has not even seen the true face of Lord Lei Feng, so what can he sell to the church in exchange for his own life?

With all the roads already turned into dead ends, Leo had no choice but to choose the last path - the path of Lei Feng.

To be exact, it was the road that Lei Feng arranged for Leo.

It is precisely because of this that when Bishop Gavin revealed Leo's identity, it only took a moment for the expression on Leo's face to quickly return to normal, and he even looked a little innocent: "Leo? Mr. Gavin, I think you may have confused my name with someone else's. ”

If there was a Holy See's Sanctuary powerhouse standing behind Bishop Gavin at this moment, then Leo would definitely panic in his heart, for fear of being killed on the spot. But since Bishop Gavin was alone in front of him, Leo's heart was much more settled, and his lies were much more realistic. The reason is also very simple, judging from Leo's observation of Bishop Gavin, this Cardinal should not be a Sanctuary powerhouse, so even if Bishop Gavin wants to kill himself, Lord Lei Feng will be able to rescue himself from Bishop Gavin's hands.

Since Lord Lei Feng has spent so much effort on himself, it is impossible to let himself be killed, right? Although this idea seems a bit of a Q, it is indeed the true thought of young Leo at the moment.

"Don't pretend, boy." Seeing Leo's serious lying, Bishop Gavin couldn't help but laugh. I didn't see how he moved, and the sky-breaking sword that was originally on the desk suddenly floated up out of thin air, and it didn't stop until it floated in front of Leo: "Do you know this sword?" ”

"I don't know." Leo wasn't lying this time, before today, Leo really hadn't seen this Sky Breaking Sword.

"I made a deal with the guy behind you, and this Sky Breaking Sword from a certain Sanctuary was part of the deal." Bishop Gavin smiled and said, "So dear Leo, at least in front of me, you can remove your disguise. ”

Leo's face once again showed a puzzled expression: "Bishop Gavin, I still don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"Very good." Bishop Gavin's face suddenly showed a satisfied expression: "I now finally know why he chose you as the implementer of this plan, at least in terms of mind, you are indeed calm enough, and you are not so easy to show your feet because of the temptation of others. ”

The sky-breaking sword that fell in the air suddenly lost its support and fell straight down, and Leo subconsciously reached out and took the sword in his hand.

"You can come out, old friend." Bishop Gavin suddenly leaned back, and the whole old god said to the void.

Leo seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look at another part of the room, and in that place, I don't know when, a figure that Leo was very familiar with suddenly appeared.

A man wearing a gray cloak and a green hat.

"Lord Lei Feng." After seeing this person's appearance, Leo finally let out a long breath and smiled heartily.

Life is a game of countless gambles, and at least in today's gamble, Leo won.

If you win, you won't die.

Leo has never been a man who wants to die.
