Chapter 427: The lesser of two evils
It is undeniable that the old priest's craftsmanship is really good, and this big fat goose was roasted by him until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, full of flavor!
It's just that Li Zijun always felt a little inexplicable about this unexpected dinner, and his thinking could never be unified with the disciple next to him.
Strange to say, although the atmosphere in the room was slightly strange, it did not seem to affect the appetite of the three of them, just as the old priest had said before, the three of them ate the big fat goose cleanly.
"How is it, this roast goose still has an appetite for you, right?" asked the old priest with a smile as he motioned for the disciples to take away the dishes.
"Extraordinarily delicious, soft and delicious, smooth but not greasy, I have never enjoyed such perfect roast goose!" Li Zijun gave the old priest a slightly exaggerated thumbs up.
"I didn't know if there were any distinguished guests coming to Lu Dao before, but I only prepared this roast goose, and I don't know if you are full?"
Hearing the old priest's question, Li Zijun realized that he was already 'full of trenches' at the moment, and he couldn't stuff anything more.
"Enough, enough, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm about to lose my way!" Li Zijun held his stomach and grimaced very performatively.
"Since you've already eaten, let's leave it at that!please!" The old priest seemed to be very disgusted by Li Zijun's performance, his brows furrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to give Li Zijun an 'eviction order'!
The old priest was caught by surprise by this dramatic change, and he tried to explain something, but he didn't know where to start. Under the coercion of the old priest's torch-like gaze, Li Zijun had to get up and say goodbye.
What Li Zijun didn't expect anyway was. Just as he stepped out of the chapel with a lot of questions, he suddenly realized. He had actually regained the level of the Holy Rank! To be exact, his strength at the moment was even stronger than before. He believed that even if he didn't use the 'Sword of Eros' now, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage in the battle against Harvey!
And what surprised Li Zijun even more was that he felt that his body had also become much lighter, and this change could definitely increase his movement speed by a whole level!
With such a strong strength as a guarantee, the haze in Li Zijun's heart was swept away, and his heart moved, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"This little brother, please stay!" Li Zijun had just sorted out his excitement. Behind him came the disciple's voice.
"Master, do you have anything to do?" Li Zijun was in a good mood at the moment, completely forgetting the unhappiness with the old priest just now, and his attitude towards the disciples was particularly polite.
"I'm just an ordinary disciple, not a mage, please don't call me that!" Compared to Li Zijun, the attitude of the disciple was much worse, and he even seemed a little indifferent.
"Oh!" the hot face was pressed against the cold buttocks, and Li Zijun's expression was slightly embarrassed.
"This is a gift that Master asked me to give you!" the disciple coldly handed a small cloth bag to Li Zijun's hand. Then he turned around and left without looking back.
With strong curiosity, Li Zijun opened the small cloth bag: "Dark Magic Foundation" appeared in front of him.
Li Zijun shook violently, and his gaze quickly turned back to the small church that had closed the door.
"Thank you, thank you for your help this time!" Not long after Li Zijun left the small church, an old man dressed in gray appeared behind the old priest. Bow down and salute him.
"Armstrong, don't steal the concept, it's an equivalent exchange. It's not what you say to help each other!" said the old priest.
The gray-clothed old man behind the old priest was none other than Archmage Armstrong of the Illuminati Cult! If Li Zijun was still here, his jaw would definitely fall heavily to the ground. Even if he wanted to break his mind, he couldn't have thought of an archmage of the Light God Sect. would appear so casually in the church of the Cult of the Dark Moon God.
"Great Protector, you misunderstood, I don't mean to break the promise!" Armstrong didn't seem to care about the old priest's attitude towards him, and he still had a sincere smile on his face.
This old priest is none other than the first protector of the Darkmoon Cult above ten thousand people: Elliolie Slint!
As the number two of the Dark Moon God Cult, Ellioli has too many legends: he was once the sole successor of King Fengqi, but he chose to refuse this much-anticipated position without hesitation, and his record of entering the ranks of the Dharma Saints before the age of forty is unprecedented!
Compared to these, the most amazing thing about Ellioli is that he actually taught the number one master of the Dark Moon God Cult's martial arts as a magician-Dominic McAdam!
If Li Zijun knew that he had judged the top two masters of the Dark Moon God Sect to be ordinary people, I really don't know how he would react. !
Although Armstrong is also a relatively important figure in the Cult of Light, compared to these two people, he still has a big gap, and in front of them, he naturally doesn't dare to make any mistakes!
"I don't think you dare!" said Ellioli, with a strong hint of menace in his tone.
"We're going to leave you alone!" Ellioli waved his hand away from Armstrong, motioning for him to get out of here.
Although Armstrong was deeply dissatisfied with Ellioli's rude behavior, he was not good and did not dare to say anything in such a particular environment. He could only smile and nod to the two, then turn to leave.
"Master, it's obvious that the person of Edlaide is undoubtedly more important than the conditions promised to us by the Cult of Light! I really don't understand, why would you allow them to let Edlaide go for the time being?!"
"Forget about letting Edlaide go, how can you still catch our well-fed medicine goose?!"
"Don't forget, it's this Edred, who led the Dongyu army to capture Ogden, which we have been operating for many years!, resulting in our passive situation now overstretched in terms of troops!" After Armstrong was far away from this room, Dominic, who had been silent just now, finally couldn't hold back, he rushed to Ellioli's front and said very excitedly.
"Calm down! I know what you're saying!"
"Now that you know, why do you want to do this?"
"Do you think Armstrong really came here to negotiate terms with us?"
"Isn't it?"
"At least not all! Think about it, why did Armstrong make a point of letting Edlaide out of town before Victor returned to Beijing?"
"Not to mention Victor himself, as far as I know, there are currently five Saint-level masters by his side, could it be that under their protection, the Cult of Light can still threaten his safety?" Under Elioli's reminder, Dominic's mind gradually calmed down.
"After so many years of open and secret fighting, there is already a relationship between us and the Cult of the Illuminati, and you have me, and I have you, so you dare to conclude that there are no people from the Cult of the Illuminati around Victor?"
"It's no coincidence that Armstrong was able to grasp Victor's whereabouts so accurately, and the Cult of Illuminati couldn't have sent him alone to protect Edlaide's safety. If they are forced to give us a fish to break the net, then we will really lose more than we gain!"
"The Godmother has made Victor the heir of the Cult of God, and he is our hope for the future! And Edlaide is only a candidate to this day, although he is becoming more and more important to Dongyu, and he has no place in the Cult of Light! Compared to him, Victor is more important to us!"
"The lesser of two evils, we can only agree to Armstrong's terms! We can't take this risk!"
"Then do you want me to rush over and protect Victor personally?"
"Forget it, I've already sent someone over to remind him to be more careful, with his talent, if he is prepared, he should be able to deal with such a situation!"
Hearing his master say this, Dominic breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are we going to do next? Are we just going to watch Edlaide slip out of our noses?"
"When Victor returns to Beijing, you quietly follow him to protect him, try not to be discovered by him, and let him handle the rest by himself. ”
"It's hard to find an opponent like Edlaide, Victor will learn a lot from playing against him, and we can't interfere with him too much and let him miss this good opportunity for the experience!"
"Yes, master!" Dominic nodded yes.
"But master, I still don't understand, why do you want Edlaide to eat our medicine goose?"
"You didn't see it just now, he has now completely recovered to the level of a Saint-rank martial artist!"
"So fast?!" Ellioli was slightly stunned when he heard Dominic's words.
"For so many years, we have worked hard to feed two medicine geese, how can their medicinal effects be so bad?!" Thinking of the goose wings and goose legs that were eaten by Li Zijun, Dominic was still heartbroken, and his face was full of the word 'reluctance'.
"Do you think it's good for him that I let Edlaide share the medicine goose with us?"
"He was still a great sword master when he first appeared, but the moment he left here, he had already advanced to a sword master, what do you think I should think?"
"You are already the number one master of our Feng Qi, why are you always deceived by your own eyes?!"
"Even if the medicine goose is a great tonic for everyone, it will definitely be an exception for Edlaide!" said this, Ellioli smiled slightly, his eyes full of pride.
"You've forgotten one thing: the 'Great Swordsman' isn't Edlaide's true level, it's only because of the influence of the 'Extreme Taste Worm' that he is what he is now!" Seeing that Dominic's eyes were still full of doubt, Ellioli explained to him meaningfully. (To be continued......)
