Chapter 806 - 501: The Enraged King
Chapter 806 -501: The Enraged King
Felix did not respond to Lis’s words; at this moment, he felt the air in the entire room depress.
Indeed!
How could that king resist such temptation?
The records left by the Church of the Gods over countless years clearly show that for the nobles and kings who hold high positions in the Human Kingdom, the temptation of eternal life is irresistible.
And as for the king of the Bolin Kingdom, Felix held no hope at all.
The word “inept” would be a compliment for him; it’s only because of Bolin Kingdom’s unique geographical location that the kingdom has continued to exist until now.
Even so, numerous contradictions within the Bolin Kingdom have been accumulating, it’s just that they haven’t burst forth so far.
For a moment, Felix felt a sense of sadness.
It wasn’t for the king, but for the entire nation.
The term “Demon Believers” carries too many implications, but regardless, for the commoners, it’s a disaster they cannot resist.
And now with a ruler like the king covering the tracks of Demon Believers, no one knows how many atrocious deeds these Demon Believers have committed within the Bolin Kingdom.
“Alright!”
Lis waved his hand and interrupted Felix’s thoughts.
“Things have gotten this bad; you can stop harboring any illusions.”
Clearly, Angela and Cendelle present weren’t empathetic to the plight of the Bolin Kingdom; these words were intended for Felix.
“You’re right!”
Felix took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions.
With determination in his eyes, he looked at Lis and said somberly,
“Sage, what do we do next?”
Clearly, Felix had left the decision for the next move to Lis.
In his view, Lis was the instigator who uncovered these events, and his strength was the greatest in Acot City at the moment, naturally giving him the ability to handle the situation.
Most importantly, Lis, with his identity as the Elf Sage and the objectives of the Nature’s Wrath organization, would definitely have no room for compromise with the Abyss Demon.
“Good!”
Lis’s eyes held a hint of amusement as he nodded and said,
“Then now, let’s go meet His Majesty the King!”
“Directly see the king?”
Felix was surprised to hear this.
Shouldn’t we first investigate and secure evidence, take control of the military forces of the Royal Capital, and deal with the king at the end?
Moreover, that was the king of the Bolin Kingdom, a figure of revered status. Besides the memories Lis searched from Hozia’s soul, there was no other direct evidence implicating His Majesty the King with Demon Believers.
Otherwise, the Church of the Gods wouldn’t have remained oblivious to the anomaly.
“Why investigate any further?”
Lis looked at Felix with a smile, his expression revealing a sharp edge.
“For me, having confirmed that Elwin Polin has ties to the Demon Believers is already enough!”
Lis looked at Felix, then added with a smile,
“Moreover, the agreement I’ve reached with the Church of the Gods is that Nature’s Wrath has the right to intervene in anything related to the Abyss Demon, and the Church of the Gods must offer assistance, right?”
Felix, you’re still young!
If it weren’t for wanting to drag the Church of the Gods into cleaning up afterward, why would he bother to bring Felix here?
He didn’t have the time to dally with the king of this Bolin Kingdom; for him, the fastest solution is the best.
As for the entangled messes that would be cut off, he’d leave them to the Church of the Gods to clean up.
Although it’s troublesome, it could be a good opportunity for the Church of the Gods to expand its influence.
Although Felix might not see it that way, that was no longer Lis’s concern.
“But…”
Felix hesitated; this was no small matter.
Taking down His Majesty the King, no matter how one looked at it, was too direct and crude, even if he was the highest decision-maker of the Earth Church in the Bolin Kingdom. He still had to consider the consequences of such an action.
“What are you hesitating for?”
Lis shook his head and added,
“No matter what, the sooner we capture those Demon Believers, the less harm will come to the people.”
“…You’re right.”
Perhaps Lis’s words pushed Felix to make his final decision, and he said with a wry smile,
“I’ve gotten old, worrying too much about the before and after. As you said, directly capturing those Demon Believers and dealing with any big trouble that follows isn’t really a problem.”
“Then let’s go!”
Lis nodded.
Well, the sucker for the cleanup is ready; now let’s go meet that King of Bolin.
Lis turned to Cendelle and said,
“You go to the city wall, tell everyone to wrap it up quickly and come to the palace.”
“There’s a big scene awaiting us!”
Then, the figures of Lis, Angela, and Felix disappeared from the room with a wave of spatial fluctuation.
…
Acot City, Bolin Palace,
Within this palace, the first thing one would see upon crossing the threshold was the dazzling golden hall.
The intricate and lavish crystal magic lamps were studded with countless sparkling gemstones, as if the brightest stars in the night sky had all converged here. The palace’s gold glistened under the light, with every inch exuding opulence.
On the desk in the palace’s room, various exquisite trinkets were displayed, each an invaluable piece of art. The tall, gold high-backed chairs were carved with intricate patterns, with pearls and gemstones embedded in the armrests, each detail showcasing the palace owner’s fondness for gold.
