Chapter 106: Crisis of Power (2)
"Hey, wake up, wake up! Red?" Ryan slapped Red hard in the face, but he still couldn't wake up the drunken guy.
"Teacher, yes... I'm sorry, I... True...... It's useless!" The drunken Red uttered a vague drunken remark, but his body was still prostrate on the ground, and he did not have the slightest demeanor of an archbishop of the Church of Light.
Ryan looked at Red like this, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as one of his good friends, Red now became like this is also what Ryan doesn't want to see, seeing that it is impossible to wake up Red with normal methods, Ryan decided to take the most direct means, he bent down again, grabbed Red's calf, and then dragged this drunk guy towards the teleportation magic array.
"Ah, master!" Miro on the side looked at Ryan at a loss, as an extremely intelligent underground dwarf, Miro already knew what Red's identity in this plane meant, that is, the agent of the high god in this plane, but his master completely ignored the face of the god, and dragged this guy away like dragging a dead dog.
"Go about your own business!" Ryan waved his hand and dragged Red into the teleportation array, a flash of bright light, and the two left the magic material warehouse, leaving Miro alone. Miro paused for a moment, then picked up a book on magical materials that he had borrowed from Emma not long ago, and read it with relish.
"Smack!" Ryan shook his hand casually and threw Red on the ground in the courtyard, although the latter hit the ground hard, but still did not wake up, but Alendor and the others who were standing on the side were startled, they didn't expect Ryan to use such a means to deal with Red. Ryan didn't pay attention to this, he only saw his good friend Red in his eyes now, not some god's spokesman, if it weren't for the former, where would Ryan care about the life and death of a drunkard?
Ryan swiped his fingers on his chest a few times, completing a magic array of water systems, and then a fist-sized water balloon appeared in front of Ryan, Ryan controlled the water balloon and smashed it directly on Red's head, the compressed glacial water in the water balloon lost its restraints, and immediately wrapped Red's upper body in it, not only that, under the effect of Ryan's magic, Red, who had no resistance at all, was stuffed into his stomach full of glacial water, which was cold enough to inhibit the growth of all things and immediately burst out with great powerγ
"Wow!" The hangover Red only felt that an extremely cold air began to spread from his stomach and intestines to his entire body, and this cold air soaked directly into Red's bone marrow, as if even his soul was about to freeze, and at the same time, he could no longer breathe any air, as if he was drowning. Under this stimulus, Red jumped up from the ground with a "poof", and looked a bit like a lobster that was bent because of the red.
"Ahem, ahem!" After Red jumped up, his body was naturally not wrapped in the glacial water, but his stomach was stuffed with glacial water, so Red quickly knelt on the ground again, and the wine he drank last night was mixed with cold water in his stomach, this very strong stimulation made Red begin to vomit uncontrollably, and it was accompanied by a cough, making a mess.
"You're finally awake, aren't you?" Ryan stood aside and watched as Red slowly regained his senses, then took a clean towel from Vivien and threw it on Red's head, who grabbed it casually and wiped it vigorously on his face, this towel was not the kind of special delicate goods used by the archbishop, and the rough linen in the towel rubbed against Red's face that was slightly numb from the frozen glacier water, which actually made Red feel a slight pain.
"I mean, you're too ...... towel," Red slowly dried his hair, and then said something that didn't matter.
"It's too comfortable and comfortable to live a life that makes it easy for me to slack off. Ryan replied.
"Okay, okay, I know you're right, but why did you wake me up with such drastic means?" asked Red with a wry smile.
"We all already know about Ferdinand. Ryan replied very dryly, and then stretched out his hand to Red, who involuntarily stiffened the muscles on his face after hearing the name "Ferdinand", but Red quickly pretended to be casual, reached out and grabbed Ryan's hand, stood up from the ground with strength, and then looked at the mess under his feet, and said with some embarrassment: "I think, we are going to talk in a different place." β
Ryan, Red, Elendo, Freya, Vivien and others sat around Ryan's private library, which is where Ryan usually studies magic, and it is also a place to receive closer friends.
Red picked up the hot water in front of him and drank it down, a stream of heat suddenly surged through his body, making Red's heart feel very comfortable, he sighed slightly, and spoke: "Okay, what do you want to say, you can start!"
"No, it's not me who asks, but you say. Ryan smiled and said, "We now want to know what is going on in your heart, so that we can help you!"
"Help me?" Red had a mocking smile on his face, but it wasn't for Ryan and them, but for the Church of Light that had disappointed him, "Do you think I, an archbishop with no authority at all, can stop these power-hungry cardinals from turning to Senate?
"No, you still have it!" Ryan said with a smile still smiling, "You still have friends, like me!"
"Of course that includes me!" Alendor also spoke, "and our friends, everyone cares about you. β
Red's heart was hot, and he was just about to speak, when he heard another familiar voice from outside the door: "And me!"
As soon as Ryan heard this voice, he immediately jumped up and said in surprise: "Fani, why are you here!"
All eyes were on the door of the private library, where Faraz's pretty figure was standing prettyly, and the latter, seeing that he was in the spotlight, stepped in, and said as he went, "How can I do such a big thing without doing it myself, but it seems that you have already made up your mind?"
"No!" Ryan shook his head, pulled Farass to sit down, and then said to Freya, "Come on!"
Freya nodded, she recounted her deduction of Ferdinand last night, and added at the end: "Now that Sister Faras, you are here, you must have brought updated information, and the rest is up to you!"
Freya's words made Faras stunned, she never thought that Freya would call herself her sister with such a noble identity as the elf queen, this is obviously not a kind word, but a certain arrangement of identity, she glanced at Ryan, and then looked at Freya, who was still smiling, and suddenly a tenderness surged in her heart, although the woman around Ryan was not the only one who was there, but in Ryan's heart, she still valued the relationship with herself the most.
Faraz's daze made the scene a little cold, but Faraz quickly sensed this, she nodded towards Freya, and said, "Sister Freya, you are right, this is basically the final deduction result of the Imperial Capital Think Tank. I was thinking, since we can all come to the same conclusion, Senat should also know how he will react with such fanfare, and what is his ultimate purpose in doing so?"
Farass cleverly disguised her distraction as reflection, and it also caused everyone to ponder, and the entire private library fell into silence again. After a long while, Ryan spoke: "Actually, I believe that this is nothing more than a two-handed preparation, if we don't actively deal with it, then according to Freya's analysis just now, the Church of Light will split, the Pope will become Sennat's puppet, and the undead legion will also reduce an opponent." If we take the initiative to attack, then Senat, no, I should say that the Legion of the Undead will have several means to deal with us. β
Faras glanced at Ryan, Ryan's words were very correct, but what was the difference between not saying it, she just wanted to speak, but Ryan continued: "I don't think we should be held back by Sennat, but should go our own way." Therefore, I think that how we respond now is not to analyze what Senate's conspiracy is, but to listen to what Red has to say!"
"Me?" "Red, surprised that Ryan would say this, he said in a lost voice, "You ......"
"It's simple, Red!" Allendo added, "If you're going to give up your position as archbishop or something, then we're going to ignore Sennat's plot this time, anyway, the Church of Light has been sitting on the sidelines before, and without this intriguing companion, we can be more united." β
"Yes! Ryan followed Allendo's words and said, "Say, Red, if you have the ambition to reorganize the Church of Light, then we will teach Senat a hard lesson, and if possible, we can even use Senat's hand to clean up those who are more disgusting than the rotten nobles." Power crisis? Hehe, isn't the so-called crisis exactly the coexistence of danger and opportunity?"
