Chapter 157 - 153: Bevis of the Golden Lion Legion
Chapter 157: Chapter 153: Bevis of the Golden Lion Legion
Lis looked at the small cabin not far away, smiled, and said to Lister, who was following behind:
“You hide here and keep an eye on that house from a distance. No matter who goes in or comes out, make sure to record it all. Understood?”
“Yes, Lord Lis.”
Lister answered decisively but his heart was filled with chaos.
In the Eagle Brother Society, it was just watching that house, and now pledging allegiance to Lord Lis, still watching that house.
Do I really only qualify for standing guard and surveillance?
...
Lis didn’t pay any more attention to Lister and walked away with Zhao Zhao and Mo Yun.
As for the group of players who had been following Lis? They had been lured away by the ladies of Golden Lily Lane.
Who is Lis? They do not recognize!
Forever rejecting gambling and drugs is their true nature.
—————
The first destination was pretty far, so Lis took two people and rode in a carriage to get there.
That was the Golden Lion Knights’ base in Bright City.
Lis had no intention of going to the City Guard Army. The Bright City’s City Guard Army was only good enough to maintain order within the city and catch petty thieves.
The entire City Guard Army had only one Gold Level strong man, and they were expected to raid the All Beast Church’s home base?
Better not.
Hence, Lis directly sought out the strongest force of the Feis Kingdom in Bright City, the Golden Lion Legion.
Merely approaching the place, Lis was stopped by two fully armed guards. Judging by their demeanor, they were already professionals.
All soldiers of the Golden Lion Knights were meticulously selected from various military forces of the kingdom, all were official professionals.
That is to say, the lowest strength level of the Golden Lion Legion’s soldiers was Bronze Level, they had a dozen Gold Level strong men, and even had Bivis Milan, hailed as the kingdom’s strongest warrior and the “Lion of the Kingdom of Feis.”
Such a powerful army, only barely cultivated by the wealth and strength of the Feis Kingdom, was also one of the kingdom’s trump cards.
Lis looked at the silent guards in front of him, nodded, and said:
“I am Court Viscount Lis Kain, with an urgent matter to see Milan Group Leader. Please inform him.”
Hearing that Lis was a Viscount, the two guards’ expressions finally changed slightly. After exchanging looks, one guard sheathed his weapon and went inside the base, while the other remained standing guard.
Zhao Zhao and Mo Yun stood aside in silence, feeling unsettled. Honestly, having lived in peaceful times, they had never encountered such an elite and intimidating force.
Mo Yun felt the guard sizing her up as if looking at a dead person.
It wasn’t long before a young man in silver armor rushed out from the base.
Upon seeing Lis, after a few looks, he enthusiastically extended his hand and said:
“Greetings, Viscount Kane. We meet again. The leader has been awaiting you.”
“Oh, how should I address you?”
Lis was curious as he didn’t have any recollection of this rather handsome young man.
“My apologies.”
The young warrior said with a smile:
“I am Herbert Bo, currently the squad leader of the Golden Lion Legion’s first squad.”
“I met you at the royal banquet a few days ago; your grace and the young lady’s poise were truly admirable.”
Hearing this, Lis felt a bit embarrassed. Truth be told, his dancing that day was not great; at the ball, he was led by the ear throughout, and he accidentally stepped on Ya’er’s feet several times, earning him several glares from the young lady.
Touching his nose, Lis turned his head and instructed Zhao Zhao and Mo Yun to wait outside, then he followed Herbert into the Golden Lion Legion’s base.
“Is the Milan Group Leader here?”
Lis asked Herbert, who was standing beside him.
“The Group Leader was just training. He sent me to greet you as soon as he heard you’d come,” Herbert replied. As the leader of the first squad and often accompanying Bevis, he was essentially acting as the secretary to the group leader.
From his manner, he seemed to be the descendant of a noble family from Bright City.
Lis nodded and followed Herbert through two doors. They arrived at a spacious ground where soldiers were training and weapons and equipment were laid out—it must be the training ground of the Golden Lion Knight Order.
Lis’s gaze quickly found Bivis Milan.
It was hard to miss the Golden Warrior. His bare upper body was covered in fierce scars, with clearly defined muscles that seemed to contain infinite strength.
At that moment, Bevis noticed Lis on the side of the field. He put down his two-handed sword, took a towel from a servant, roughly wiped off his sweat, put on some casual clothes, and walked over to Lis.
“Group Leader Milan, hello.”
Lis bowed to Bevis, but Bevis did not respond. Instead, he sized up Lis from head to toe.
What’s going on?
Lis stood straight, noticing the strange look in Bevis’s eyes, and was almost choked by his words.
“Kid, if you ever treat Ya’er poorly, watch out—I’ll punch you out!”
“Even if you’re that person’s disciple.”
Bevis certainly knew Taya’s identity. The last time at the Royal Palace’s evening party, when he saw Taya clinging to Lis’s arm, he was almost shocked enough to crush his wine glass.
When had he seen his disciple with a shy, blushing expression like a young girl? She used to be a tomboy when she was learning from him.
If it weren’t for the fact that Lis had already been taken as a disciple by “Judgement Flame,” Bevis might have had to take it upon himself to test Lis and see what kind of mettle the young man who had won Taya’s heart was made of.
“Cough cough, I actually have something very important to discuss with you today, you see…” Lis said with a wry smile to Bevis.
“Hmph!”
Bevis gave Lis a look and turned to walk to one side.
Lis, understanding the cue, immediately followed. Herbert stood back, smiling without moving.
Entering a modestly furnished parlor, Bevis leaned on a sofa and asked:
“So, what’s the matter? Can you talk now?”
Sitting on the sofa opposite Bevis, Lis pondered for a moment before saying:
“Lord Milan, have you heard of the All Beast Church?”
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing the name, Bevis’s expression turned serious, and he asked:
“It’s one of the Evil God Churches, but their traces are rarely found. How do you know about them?”
Lis organized his thoughts and narrated his discovery in Golden Lily Lane to Bevis, emphasizing the arrangement of the basement and the hidden Golden Strong Man.
“According to the knowledge I acquired from Mr. Stephens, what the All Beast Church set up there must be a Blood Sacrifice Ceremony!”
Lis looked serious, speaking as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
He wasn’t worried—after all, the facts were just as he described.
Bevis’s face darkened. At this moment, he had completely straightened up and was deep in thought.
“How certain are you?”
“One hundred percent. This Blood Sacrifice Ceremony, I suspect the other party might be attempting to summon the incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is why I need to inform Mr. Stephens about this soon.”
