Chapter 32: Mutual Threats

The confident Bishop Duncan took a sip of his coffee, then picked up a newspaper and read it. He didn't have to wait long, and a man sat down across from him. Duncan looked up and saw that it was Sir Charles and smiled, "The coffee here tastes good." In the more than ten years of overseas wandering, I have always missed the coffee of the Continent of Order. This time we are back, with an unfinished mission.

Do those of you who were hidden still have the heart to serve the church and God? ”

Sir Charles took off his hat and set it aside, ordered a random coffee in front of the waiter, and said to Duncan, "I don't want to deny anything...... But after so many years, it is easy for people to lose their faith.

I don't want to have anything to do with my former friends anymore, I just want to make money and make some inventions.

I can donate a large sum of money to you, and I just hope that once you get the money, you will never come to me again. ”

Although Duncan's clothes and appearance were disguised like an ordinary person, Charles could still detect the familiarity emanating from him. Instead of denying that he had once been a member of the Abyss Church, he slightly tested Duncan's purpose for finding himself to see how much he knew about his own affairs.

Since there were many cultists who did not follow the evacuation when staring into the abyss and withdrawing from the Order Continent, Duncan was not sure that Charles was the traitor. The donation that Charles promised to give still made Duncan very moved. Staring into the abyss and returning to the Continent of Order requires a lot of money, and if nothing else, Duncan really won't trouble Charles after getting a large sum of money. Anyway, after all these years, the church does not intend to absorb the people who have been left behind, adding to the risk of re-exposure.

But at Speaker's request, Duncan must give him a satisfactory account.

After Charles' coffee arrived, Duncan unleashed a mute spell and said to Charles, "I am very satisfied that you have not denied your former faith...... It was the Church that abandoned you, so we did not force you to re-believe in My God.

However, you have to do something for the church before the church will completely cut off all relations with you, no longer contact you, and will not betray you. ”

Sir Charles heard Bishop Duncan's threat: if you don't do this, then the church will definitely betray you.

This is Sir Charles's biggest trick, in the continent of the order of faith ruled by the Holy See, once any heresy is exposed, it will definitely be sanctioned by the Holy See. Even if Sir Charles is now a more influential public figure, as long as he has joined heresy, he will not be let go by the Holy See.

Charles kept his composure, thinking about how to make it clear to Duncan who Jessica was. Jessica's ancestors may have been greater than the Dreadlord Ergus, capable of making demons and the undead bow down before him......

But would a bishop who believes in Egers recognize another god as more noble than Egers?

Charles decided to hear what Duncan wanted to do for himself, and to learn more about the current state of Gaze into the Abyss.

"What should I call you, and what do you want me to do for you?"

"You can call me Duncan......" Duncan looked around, and the subordinates who were lying in ambush did not warn him, indicating that Charles was indeed alone. He said reassuringly, "I have an assassination mission for you. We know that you have been in frequent contact with Young Master Liang of the Black Fire Company recently, and often participate in the activities organized by the 'University Alliance'.

Your mission is to find an opportunity to kill Young Master Liang.

Complete this task, and we will never have anything to do with each other again. ”

Sir Charles didn't expect that Staring into the Abyss would let him assassinate Young Master Liang, what kind of conflict of interest could he have with this evil church?

Sir Charles looked embarrassed and said, "Impossible...... You don't know how closely protected Young Master Liang is, this is the assassination to death.

Let's change the conditions! Or I'll just give the money, I know you're short of money. ”

Duncan is really short of money, if there is a choice...... He will ask for money. However, he really couldn't find a more suitable person to assassinate Young Master Liang than Charles.

"It's not a matter of money, Young Master Liang must die!" Duncan refused the temptation: "The Black Fire Company has the strength to challenge the Scarab Company, of course I know that Young Master Liang must have the protection of a 13th-order or even a 14th-order powerhouse by his side, but now is the era of hot weapons." As long as you can keep track of his whereabouts, or be able to arrange for him to go to a place you have predetermined.

You can accomplish this task with a single shot from afar, and I'm sure you have a way to keep yourself from being suspected. Complete this quest and you will have nothing to do with us, and you will continue to be your rich man and explorer. ”

Sir Charles said: "I refuse ......"

Duncan forced: "You are not qualified to refuse!" If you don't take this task, then tonight...... The knights of the Blue Cathedral will knock on your door. ”

Sir Charles replied coldly, "Are you threatening me? ”

"Yes, I'll threaten you again...... Will you take this task or not? ”

The conversation reached an impasse, and neither man spoke anymore.

At this time...... Jessica had set up a sniper rifle on the roof of the building across from the café. Since the café is not a glass wall, and Charles' seat is not visible from the windows, Jessica does not have a direct view of Duncan.

However, Jessica has learned a lot of magic skills from Cindy these days, and the use of earth magic allows her to see the magic fluctuations behind obstacles, and then distinguish what she sees again through magic ripples and magic strength.

Jessica found the location of the magical trait that represented Charles, and saw Duncan sitting across from Charles, as well as the people with the high-energy traits in the café.

The glow of magic covered Jessica's eyes, and she stared at the scope to complete all the preparations. The instinct to shoot made her confident...... With just a shot, this specially crafted, enchanted alchemy bullet can pierce through walls and hit its target.

Duncan, who was in the café, also looked at Charles confidently, waiting for his answer.

Charles didn't make Duncan wait too long, he knew that Jessica should be in place at this point, and aimed his gun at the person in front of him.

So Charles said to Duncan, "Mr. Duncan...... I don't have any interest in the task you've given me. Not only because Young Master Liang saved me, but also because I want to become the Charles in someone's heart.

You've also said that it's the age of hot weapons, do you really think I'm here alone?

Now there's a powerful gun aimed at your head.

Including the people next to you who only drink coffee and don't order anything, they are also your subordinates.

Staring into the abyss is really despairing, and the funds for an operation are so pitiful...... You really should consider my advice and take the money and stay away from this business that is not yours. ”
