Chapter 577: Suspicion
"Master Jeffrey has indeed been in for a long time!Mr. Shaw, why don't you and I join hands to go in and have a look?"
Before Shaw could finish speaking, Karen had already seen through his intention of 'seeing the situation bad and preparing to slip away'. Karen struggled to keep him behind, and it was impossible for him to leave so lightly at this moment.
Karen said this, on the one hand, to completely cut off Shaw's retreat, and on the other hand, she also hoped to successfully pull Shaw onto the big ship of the Dark Moon God Cult.
Shaw is also an old treacherous and cunning person, how could he not have imagined Karen's true intention to pull him in. It's just that he also understands that it's easy to be perfunctory to Blanche, but if he wants to send Karen away in a few words, it can only be his wishful thinking!
Shaw was really unwilling to let Karen command like this, but in the face of such a situation, for a while, he couldn't think of any reason to refuse. After all, he just chose to stay, which is equivalent to agreeing to Karen's plan to attack the Church of the Illuminati! If he leaves at this time, he will inevitably be infamous for being dead and treacherous!
Shaw hesitated!
At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the direction of the church. The doors of the church, which had just been closed, were slowly opened, and Simon Baker swaggered out of the church with Jeffrey.
"Master Jeffrey has been captured! How could this be?" Blanche was stunned for a moment as he looked at Jeffrey, who was covered in blood and seemed to be unconscious, and then immediately turned his gaze to Karen's face.
"Silently settled Jeffrey and his men, how many Holy Order masters are hidden in this church?" Seeing this, Shaw was bittersweet. Gladly. He finally found a reason to stop for a while, and worriedly, he felt that his dream was about to be disappointed again!
"From what we have gotten. There are only a few more than 100 people in this church now. I didn't find any special people!" Blanche thought Shaw was questioning her intelligence work, and she hurriedly explained to Karen and Shaw.
"Who is the head of this church, do you know his name?" asked Karen, frowning and looking at Blanche.
"It's like a guy named Simon Baker. This guy is said to be a 'toilet stone' - smelly and hard!" Blanche did do her homework on the church, and when Karen asked, she immediately said the name and character of Archmage Baker.
"But other than that, I haven't heard how strong he is?"
"It's him?!" Karen and Shaw couldn't help but pause slightly when they heard the name.
"Two adults, have you all heard of him?"
"Simon Baker is the elder brother of the Cult of Light in his generation. This person is by no means simple! It's just that this person is extremely bitter and mean, almost to the point where he doesn't say 'cool words' and doesn't open his mouth without raising the bar. It's hard to get in touch with people!"
"Strange to say, though, he has a good relationship with Archmage Kaye and is willing to follow Kaye's advice. That's probably the real reason why he's been sent here!" After exchanging glances with Karen, Shaw took the initiative to introduce Baker to Blanche.
"But that's not right! Even with Baker, Jeffrey's strength and cautious Cheng Dù, he can't just be captured so silently!Could there be some other people from the Cult of Light hidden in this church?" Shaw didn't look at Blanche this time, but turned his questioning gaze to Karen.
"This person is about to speak, let's hear what he has to say first?" Karen was also a little confused about the situation in front of her. At this time. Naturally, she would not give up the opportunity to understand the situation with Dai Yi, she raised her hand to stop Shaw and Blanche from continuing to ask questions, and stared at Dai Yi and Geoffrey.
"This is the holy place of the Cult of the Illuminati, and those who trespass will be punished by God!" Baker said, throwing Jeffrey's severed hand out.
"Nian is just a first offense in Jeffrey. Only let him lose one of his left hands. If anyone dares to break the ban, there will be no mercy!" Baker held the sluggish Jeffrey and shook Karen and the others viciously for a while, and then returned to the church satisfied and triumphant.
Look at the church doors that are closing again. Everyone outside the church, including Karen and Shaw, couldn't help but change their faces.
"Is there really a 'divine punishment'?" Baker's exaggerated performance. It had obviously left a big shadow on Blanche's heart, which was evident from her voice full of 'fear' at the moment.
"Don't worry. Even if there is a 'divine punishment', it will not come to such a small church!" Although Karen knew that Baker was talking nonsense, she was also a member of the sect, and she couldn't directly expose Baker's lies, so she could only comfort Blanche with this.
"How does the young lady explain the arrest of Master Geoffrey? Princess Blanche has just said that apart from a few important people we know, there are no other masters in the church during this time. I really can't think of any power that would have allowed Jeffrey to be captured if it weren't for 'divine punishment'?!" Looking at Jeffrey, who had already been slaughtered, Shaw's heart immediately rose with empathetic sadness. Although he didn't believe that Jeffrey was captured because of some 'divine punishment', he still had to make this statement in order to prevent Karen from hitting him with his mind and leading him into the same dangerous situation as Jeffrey.
"And as far as I know, lying in a religious uniform is not a small sin in the Cult of Light! Judging from what that person was wearing just now, his rank in the Cult of Light should not be low, I don't believe that such a character would casually deceive us just to live!"
"I don't dare to say anything else, but the guy before, I can be absolutely sure that there is no one in the Sect of Light that he would not dare to violate!"
"That person can't be Simon Baker, right?" Blanche was not slow to react, and she guessed Baker's identity almost immediately.
"Nine out of nine is him!"
"Actually, it's not difficult to prove whether he lied or not, and whether there is 'divine punishment' at all, we just need to send more people in to find out the situation, and we will know the mystery immediately!" Karen said as she turned her gaze to Shaw.
"I just don't know if any of us here have the courage to do that?"
Not to mention that Shaw is long past the age of competitiveness, even if he is younger, with his command, he will never put himself in a passive situation just because of a few cynics from Karen. Just as he felt Karen's gaze, he turned to look at Blanche.
There is no doubt that Blanche is the real owner of this place, and she is the one who is most anxious to solve the problem in front of her! Shaw looked at her at this time, and it was precisely to remind her that she should not forget her identity.
There was no movement in the capital for a long time, and Blanche was already anxious, and then she saw Karen and Shaw blaming each other, and she finally couldn't do it:
"Lord Karen, since Master Jeffrey has been in for so long and there has been no news, I don't think anything else will come out of sending someone in. Why don't I let the army press on all fronts now, I don't believe it, our army of tens of thousands can't break through this small church?!"
"Looks like that's all there is to it!" Karen glanced at Shaw disdainfully and nodded slightly at Blanche.
With Karen's approval, Blanche immediately ordered an all-out assault on the church.
Hearing the earth-shattering shouts outside the church, Li Zijun let out a long breath, and finally showed a relaxed smile on his face that had been tense.
"I guessed it by your kid again: Karen and Shaw, the two 'cowards', really didn't dare to come in and test again!" Hearing the movement outside, the bitter Baker also said a rare good word.
"They're not cowardly, they just don't want to trust each other!" In this matter, Li Zijun didn't dare to take credit, he smiled bitterly and waved his hand to everyone.
"Even if they trust each other, it's just two more Jeffreys to get here!" Capturing Jeffrey alive made Shamantha's confidence swell to the extreme, and at this moment, even Karen and Shaw were not taken seriously by her.
"Shamansha, if you still want to live, you can put away such an idea for me immediately!" Everyone didn't expect that Shamansha's words actually caused Li Zijun's great dissatisfaction:
"Karen and Shaw are not Jeffrey, not only are they above Jeffrey in terms of personal strength, but they are far from being comparable to Jeffrey in terms of intelligence!"
"Actually, we were able to capture Jeffrey, and there was a lot of fluke in that. Think about it, if Jeffrey had chosen to escape alone at the beginning of his senses, do you think we could have caught him so smoothly and without hurting anyone?"
"And under the same circumstances, I am almost 100% sure that Karen and Shaw will not hesitate to leave the others behind and let themselves escape first!
"Don't be overly superstitious about our formation, without the help of a few archmages, as well as the illusion that our master has joined in, do you think that with your familiarity with this formation, Cheng Dù, you can trap Jeffrey?!" Li Zijun reprimanded Shamantha mercilessly and fiercely.
"Alright, alright! Ed, when are you going to learn the 'big man' routine?! It's not time to review, tell me quickly, what should we do next?" Seeing that Shamantha's eyes were red at Li Zijun's words, Audrey couldn't bear it anymore, she jumped out to interrupt Li Zijun and changed the subject. (To be continued......)
