(PS: Bow down and thank the book friend "Shadow Sniper" for the tip.) In addition, there are some problems with the tanuki's recent state, and it seems to be getting lazy...... Ahem, it has to be changed, it must be changed. Give Tanuki two days, and strive to advance the update time, so that you don't have to wait that long. ）

Three days later, in the afternoon. Mountain Creek City, slum.

Just as there must be shadows under the sun, Shanxi City, as a holy city in the north, is almost not weaker than any northern city in terms of external image and business conditions, but this does not hide that it also has the stubborn disease of various cities, that is, the survival of slums.

Some people are rich and some people are poor and crazy - the truth is so simple, whether to accept it or not is another matter!

At this time, a corner of the slum is a dilapidated small building.

As far as the eye can see, the exterior walls of the small building are full of large and small holes, leaking air everywhere, and it seems to be crumbling. I am afraid that even homeless people will not choose to live in this dangerous place that cannot shelter from the wind or rain.

But now, there is a person staying on the second floor of this small building, half-leaning on the broken wall, and a few balls of blood-stained cotton are randomly thrown on the ground next to him, and the smell of medicine is strong.

The face was slightly drooping, covered with cold sweat and dust, and it was not clear that the specific face of this person could be seen, but looking at the gray and white appearance, you could know that the situation was wolf.

However, the person concerned was unconscious, turned his head sideways suddenly, bit the gray cloth tightly with a mouthful of white teeth, and tied the dead knot with his right hand extremely steadily, forcibly inhibiting the wound on his left arm that was constantly oozing blood!

......After dealing with the injury, the man raised his head and exhaled softly, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead. The expression is slightly relaxed. I didn't take a break immediately after that. Instead, he got up with his gun. The curves are exposed, the long legs are seductive, and she vaguely looks like a woman. After walking back and forth a few steps, he gathered blood-stained cotton balls, strips of rags, etc. on the ground, and set them on fire.

Sneer...... The flames burst to the ground, and the blood-stained cotton ball burned quickly, but it turned to black ash in an instant. But the strips of cloth were still burning in the flames, twisting and struggling.

The woman didn't back down. Just stared at the firelight quietly, his face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was stunned. This state lasted for about a few seconds, and then suddenly,

With a slight movement of her ears, the woman seemed to have noticed something, pursed her lips, her stunned expression disappeared in an instant, the spear was raised slightly, and the awe-inspiring battle intent that was not angry and self-righteous soared wildly!

In a flash. The second floor seemed to slip into a whirlwind, and the fire on the ground quickly retreated. The dust is scattered, and the sparks are flying in the sky, and the scene is magnificent for a while. At this moment,

"Ahem...... "Ahem" A few coughs sounded downstairs, and then a gentle voice came slowly, "It's me, Owens." ”

When the words fell, the solemn atmosphere on the second floor disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared. At this time, Owens, dressed in cloth, walked out of the swaying stairs, his eyes turned around, slightly stunned, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why bother? You know that Mountain Creek City is different from other places, and you came here to block the temple...... Alas, it's dangerous!"

The woman leaned back against the wall, her expression calm: "It's because this place is different from other places. ”

"Uh...... All right. Owens was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but smile wryly and nodded in agreement. As the holy city of the north, Mountain Creek City has undoubtedly the largest number of believers here, and this excellent place is indeed suitable for 'adding blockage' to the temple!

Speaking of which, there is no need to doubt that this woman is naturally Xia Weian.

Since deciding to stand up and take the initiative to expose the shady nature of the temple, Xia Weien has traveled thousands of miles and traveled from countless towns to countless towns, and she has spared no effort. And the impact of this is undoubtedly huge, no matter how much the temple side advertises that Xia Weien has fallen into an evil heresy, but her previous glory and reputation are there after all, so it will naturally cause a stir among the believers!

Some believe, others denigrate...... But believe it or not, these countless controversies are enough to make the temple overwhelmed and completely passive.

And in this way, the temple will naturally not let Xia Vian go. After tearing his face, in just a few days, several waves of chasing and killing teams came one after another, wanting to kill Xia Wei'an!

I believe that if it weren't for Xia Wei'an's extreme familiarity with the temple's pursuit methods, coupled with the perfect disguise that Tang En unintentionally gave, Xia Wei'an would have already borne countless infamy and returned to the embrace of the God of Light by now.

......

"Healing magic doesn't work, it's detected...... Take it, this is the wound medicine I secretly bought, all of which are high-end goods, and I have saved up for a few years...... Well, you showed your whereabouts here today, I'm afraid that there will be a master chasing you tonight, and I will arrange for you to go out of the city later...... Now, friend, I've done my duty. So if you get caught, don't give me a confession......"

Babbling and handing over bottles and cans, Owens shrugged his shoulders and joked with his usual warm smile on the corner of his mouth, which quickly eased the slightly dull atmosphere here.

After bandaging the wound again, Xia Weien pursed her lips, hid her pretentious gratitude, and asked directly, "Is there any news from the Puritans?"

"Please, the Puritans are in the General Assembly. Back and forth, how can there be news so quickly. Shaking his head, Owens spread his hands and said, "And no one in the temple knows that I am closest to you, and almost everyone is watching my every move now...... Tsk, fortunately, the release of water in the Holy Light City was not reported before, otherwise my traitor would have no future at all. ”

Xia Wei'an frowned slightly when she heard this: "Then you are still coming over today?"

"Uh...... Is it good to have a little conscience, I also risked my life to deliver medicine to you, and you are still quite reluctant?" After a pause, looking at Xia Wei'an's increasingly frowning brows, Owens' eyelids jumped, and he quickly put away his aggrieved expression, "Okay, okay, I'm here to tell you a big news this time...... Hey, I'm afraid the temple is going to be planted this time!"

"Huh?"

"You've been so focused on avoiding the hunt these days, so you don't know what's going on...... Well, in more than ten towns in the north, believers rioted en masse, shouting slogans to drive the temple out of the north, completely destroying the churches in the city!"

Xia Wei'an was shocked when she heard this, and cried out in a lost voice: "What!

As mentioned earlier, believers have a lot of opinions about the clergy, but they have a lot of opinions about the belief in the god of light and the solemn church. There is still a high respect that cannot be desecrated. Before, when Donn and Xia Wei'an had a big trouble with the Northern Temple. Many believers are standing on the periphery. But even if you see all kinds of ominous signs, no one has crossed the rules and trespassed, which is proof of this!

It is precisely because of this that the Temple of Light is now on the cusp of the storm and crumbling, but in fact, their foundation has not been destroyed much, and they are still continuing to exude inviolable power, and they are still secretly making some small moves. For example, the large-scale hunt for Charvian. For example, the killer organization that took the time to sneak attack Donn......

"I want to say it can't be, but now the facts are in front of you. Spreading his hands, Owens sighed bitterly, "The temple is blocking this news, but how can this news be blocked......?" This is the fuse, the temple is sad!"

This is the truth, if there are no cases on the table, no matter how disappointed the believers are in the temple, they will not think of overthrowing the solemn church around them. But once this opening is opened, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. It's like a flood, and the consequences are unimaginable!

And what is more important is the identity of the believer, the position of the temple!

To know. The reason why the Temple of Light can have today's great power has stood on the continent for thousands of years without falling. With the unconditional support of the majority of believers, this is also the foundation of the temple. But it is precisely this solid foundation that can also detonate the fuse that can destroy miè qiē!

The reason is very simple, the temple can use thunderous means to suppress the enemies who provoke them! But do they dare to use the same means against the majority of believers? Obviously, unless the temple wants to be destroyed, it will definitely not dare.

Therefore, this is a battle that is destined to be passively beaten for the temple. It is also the so-called truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat!

And when the time comes, 'drive the temple out of the north' will not be just a slogan......

And that's the case, "You don't know what the chaos is like outside now, it's okay here in Mountain Creek City, and I haven't received this news yet." But three hundred miles to the north, the towns there are already in disarray. In just two or three days, one after another churches in the city were destroyed. And...... Well, this is not something that can be said on the table. Hundreds of clergy have been killed in the clashes, and many believers have been killed or injured. It's hard to get this done now......"

"Wait!" Stunned for a moment, Xia Wei frowned: "Two or three days? Are you sure it's only two or three days, and there is such a big noise?"

"Hehe, did you find out?" Owens nodded, as if anticipating this question, "That's right, within two or three days, more than a dozen city believers will riot at the same time as if they have made an appointment, of course this is not normal. ”

After a pause, he shook his head and sighed, "There are masters behind him, what a good means!"

"Who is it?"

"Oh, you know this man, an old acquaintance of ours. ”

Looking at Owens' complicated expression of wryly smiling and speechless, Xia Wei moved with peace of mind and blurted out: "Donne?"

"Yes. Owens simply nodded, then shook his head again, a slight self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, "You may not know that the Zachary we always saw in the temple that day was actually Donn's pretend. Hehe, I used to boast of being delicate and observant, but I didn't expect him to swagger in front of me, but I couldn't see it, it's really ...... Shame on you!"

Xia Weien was also stunned when she heard this, she sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with Zachary at the time, but it was just an instinct, and she didn't care, she never thought that this feeling was real......

With some frustration, Owens continued, "Judging from the two warning pillars at that time, Don stole a total of two things in the temple. One is a demon skull, and the other is a transaction between the temple and the Bounty Hunters Guild, which I inquired about later. Well, that is, the justified evidence of the temple that suddenly appeared a few days ago. ”

"I see...... Hmph, it's okay, the temple is to blame for doing this!" With a light snort, Xia Weien frowned and asked, "But what does this have to do with him inciting believers to make trouble?"

"Hear me out...... I just said that he is a master, this is sincere admiration! Do you know that he pretended to be Zachary to steal the evidence, and at the same time sent someone to secretly swallow the branch stronghold of the Bounty Hunters Guild? ”

Smacking his lips, Owens' look of admiration did not seem to be fake, but he seemed to be a little disapproving of Donn's unsightly appearance. Xia Wei'an, who was on the side, raised her eyebrows. There was a little knowing smile in his eyes. Secretly, this is really that guy's style......

It's just that even Xia Weien herself didn't notice it. Her sense of Donne's enemy was gradually changing, from hating to be stabbed to death with a single shot, to now that she no longer deliberately resisted......

"The temple only learned about this a few days ago, and Bishop Byron was furious when they learned about it. However, at that time, the matter of the Bounty Hunters Guild had been exposed, and they did not dare to retract the idea. But at the same time, he was unwilling to be taken away by Tang En, so he decided to send a team to sneak attack and sulk......"

"Stupid!" Hearing this, Xia Wei couldn't help but pout. You must know that the temple is still too busy to take care of itself. But just to vent his sulk, he rashly made such a move that is very likely to anger the other party, isn't it stupid?

Owens nodded in agreement: "Who's to say it's not, but there are indeed a lot of masters in this team, well, the leader of the team is the Grand Knight Captain Rezel, and there is also ...... Carl."

"Karl, which Karl?" Charvian was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Who else could it be, it's the bloody butcher who brutally slaughtered several villages two years ago, and you tracked down for more than half a month before finally capturing - Karl!"

"Is it really him?" was stunned, and Xia Wei'an's face suddenly became gloomy. "Hasn't he been locked up in the General Prison awaiting trial?"

Shrugged, "I used to think it was right. But recently, when I was collecting the temple black materials, I found out that Carl had come out a year earlier. Alas...... I probably think the strength is good, and it's a little useful. Someone arranged for him to join the assassination team of the Bounty Hunters Guild, specializing in dealing with the temple's difficult appearance...... Yes, you get the idea. ”

Bang! slammed his fist on the ground, causing the dangerous building to tremble. Xia Weien bit her lip tightly, and her eyes were full of coldness: "Good! good!

This is naturally angry talk, but it can also be seen that Xia Wei'an is angry and strongly disappointed by the temple's actions!

Waving his hand, Owens smiled sarcastically: "Hehe, don't worry, retribution is coming...... With such a strong team, it was naturally easy to sneak up on a Bounty Hunter Guild that had changed hands. In fact, they did, but it drew the wrath of Donne!"

After a pause, he raised his index finger, "One night, the heads of the bishops of ten churches fell to the ground! The next day, the riot of believers began...... Hehe, though I'm curious about how Don used to mobilize believers so effectively. But what I want to know more now is what kind of expressions those big people will have when they learn that this uncontrollable scene is just because they want to sulk before? haha......"

Listening to Owens' happy laughter, Xia Wei moved with peace of mind, feeling as if she had grasped some information, but she couldn't think of it for a while...... Finally, he shook his head, suppressing the feeling for a moment. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he also showed a sarcastic smile: "Oh, that must be quite exciting, I'm looking forward to it!"

After a pause, when Owens' laughter weakened a little, he asked, "By the way, where is that temple team now?"

"Huh?" Stopping his laughter, Owens turned his head in surprise, "What, you want to catch Karl again?"

"Not bad. But this time I won't send him to the Inquisition again, but directly to the believers as evidence!"

"Nice idea...... But there's Razel, who is ahead of you in the rank of the Knights. With an eyebrow raised, Owens seemed to think of something, and asked with a gossipy face, "I heard a rumor that Raizer had a private fight with you last year...... Well, who won if you sue me? I'll sue you where are they now? (PS: Chapter 691 mentions.)

There are a total of twelve knights in the Temple of Light, and they compete once every three years, and they are ranked according to their strength.

If it had been before, no matter whether the private battle was won or lost, Xia Wei Yan would not have discussed it behind her back. However, now that she has become a traitor to the temple, she naturally sees this a lot.

Glaring at Owens, he hesitated slightly, and said: "Raizel is talented, but his mind is not open enough, and the pattern of his martial arts path is also a little narrow, if he can study the doctrine of the temple for three years, his strength will definitely be able to reach a new level." ”

didn't say it explicitly, but Owens naturally understood the meaning, and laughed: "Ha, you just say that he is narrow-minded, and even the martial arts realm is stagnant." Tsk, it looks like you've won. ”

Xia Wei didn't deny it, just frowned, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, tell me the address." ”

"It's useless to sue you...... Well, I'm not kidding you. They're roughly near Moss City right now, but it's definitely too late for you to go now. ”

Spreading his hands and looking at Xia Wei'an's puzzled gaze, Owens showed a strange expression and explained, "I have always been concerned about the matter of the believers' riots, and about this morning, this matter suddenly died down. Well, you know Don too, this is definitely not a half-person. So what do you think would be that would make him willing to let go of this good situation for a while?"

"Don't guess! Reezel was lucky enough to be temporarily transferred." But Carl's decay is absolutely dead, and the difference is that depending on Donn's mood, the question of how many times to cut him ......"

............ (To be continued......)
