Chapter 617: Chapter 466, Bolt Action Rifle_1
The Saint’s words briefly disrupted the solemn silence of the hall.
The undead interfering with human cities, such a thing is utterly unthinkable.
However, someone quickly voiced a different opinion.
“Saint Xu Haide, is the information you’re sharing accurate?”
Xu Haide was the saint who had spoken of Fang Hao’s connection to the undead.
He was also a transmigrator, his mother was Russian, and he took after her looks, a result of mixed heritage.
But he was fortunate, after his arrival he quickly made contact with the church, and through his transmigrator’s abilities, coupled with his intelligence, he secured the position of the Saint.
The Saint holds a certain degree of privileges and influence within the church.
At the same time, he is also a potential candidate to be the next Archbishop.
However, while the position of the Saint appears glorious, the competition is equally fierce. The church always cultivates thirteen saints, and only one of them will be chosen as the successor to the Archdiocese.
The surviving ones become bishops with the majority succumbing to various ‘accidents’ in the struggle.
The severity of these covert and open fights exceed the dangers of ancient power struggles for the throne.
This world’s combat power far exceeds that of ordinary people, making murder a simpler task.
When he heard the bishop’s question from above, Xu Haide shook his head and replied, “This is just a conjecture based on the information I know. It’s not concrete news.”
The bishop who asked nodded and said, “The Temple in Lyss City cannot establish a statue of the God of Undead; it’s unlikely to be the work of the undead.”
Everyone in attendance agreed with this statement.
There are fundamental differences between races. If Lyss City were to set up a statue of the God of the Undead, it would undoubtedly cause panic in the city.
The probability of it being the God of the Undead is slim.
After a long silence in the hall, the Archbishop at the top seat gently spoke up, “Xu Haide, tell us what you know.”
“Yes.” Xu Haide saluted again and began to share all he knew about Fang Hao.
Along with the previous information mentioned by Hubert about Fang Hao.
Only then could the initial conjecture be made.
After the introduction, Xu Haide respectfully stood aside without uttering another word.
Following that, the Archbishop and the bishops discussed the matter of Lyss City.
They had quickly sorted out a response strategy.
Usually, they would have sent people to Lyss City to investigate.
However, the Federal Conference was about to be held, and both Rebecca and the newly appointed Fang Hao would attend the conference.
This actually saved them some trouble, they just had to wait for the two to arrive and then proceed with the investigation.
Here, they also held the upper hand.
Once all this was settled, the meeting came to an end.
“That will do for today, everyone needs to concentrate on the upcoming conference,” said the Archbishop.
“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison.
As the meeting ended, everyone left the Grand Temple.
…
Lyss City.
Fang Hao, Eric, Little You, and the others stepped out from the Sno Trading Company.
The purchase of the Swords of Absolution went smoothly.
Finally, for a price of 5000 gold, this collectible was acquired.
The recent operations of Sno Trading Company have started to decline.
Many industries within the city were disrupted due to recent political changes.
Add to that, the ominous rumors about the Swords of Absolution. After a few words, the company readily sold it to Fang Hao.
In fact, they seemed rather eager to sell it off.
Upon acquiring this weapon, Little You’s tier level improved once more.
From Tier 4, she jumped directly to Tier 6.
After the purchase was completed.
Fang Hao and Eric split up to return to their respective places.
…
The next day.
The teleportation screen lit up again as Fang Hao, accompanied by Demitrija and Aseti, made another trip to Lyss City.
While grafting the Deomn Doll with various materials to head to the underground world.
On the other hand, he called for a maid to lead him to Rebecca.
Despite being morning, Rebecca was already quite busy.
The maid led several people through several passages before finally arriving at a warehouse in the backyard.
At the moment, Rebecca was instructing a group of servants in moving items.
Upon seeing the maid escort Fang Hao over, Rebecca seemed taken aback.
“I heard the guards say that you just left with some people, how did you return so quickly?”
Apparently, the news of the Deomn Doll departing was immediately reported to Rebecca by the guards.
This wasn’t surprising as the entire Lyss City was under Rebecca’s control. Any slight movements within the City Lord’s Mansion would be reported to Rebecca as soon as possible.
While this was one of Fang Hao’s affiliated cities, on the surface, he was still considered Rebecca’s puppet husband.
Any moves he made.
Would be immediately reported to Rebecca by the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“My subordinates had to go and handle some business.” Fang Hao answered simply.
“Oh!” Rebecca nodded, not thinking much of it.
Next, while continuing to direct her servants to tidy up the warehouse, she asked,” So, what brings you here?”
“I’m here to bring you money. Didn’t you mention needing it urgently?” Fang Hao continued.
Money?
At the mention of money, Rebecca’s eyes lit up immediately.
Yesterday, she had asked Fang Hao to prepare three million for the renovation of the warehouse. Could it be that he had already arranged it?
“Where’s the money?” Rebecca immediately asked.
“Should I put it here?” Fang Hao counter-questioned.
The warehouse in front of them was quite neatly organized.
