Chapter 108: All On Their Way
“Did you just let Edlin go like that?”
Chrissy asked, puzzled, as she watched Edlin’s petite figure walk away.
At this moment, the two had already walked out of the mobile palace. In Chrissy’s line of sight, a slender figure in purple was rushing towards Kailun.
Chrissy didn’t recognize the other party, but she instinctively tightened her grip on Kailun’s arm.
Her intuition told her that the other party was a pervert no less than herself.
Kailun: “It’s okay, Edlin will come to me on her own tomorrow, after all, she wants to squeeze all the gold coins out of me.”
After simply confirming their intention to cooperate, Kailun directly let Edlin go. To show his goodwill, he even kindly gave her a robe.
As the dean of the Royal Magic Academy, Edlin had a lot of properties in the royal city, Kailun wasn’t worried that she had nowhere to live.
According to her stingy nature, she would definitely take this opportunity to dispose of a large amount of assets.
For Edlin, he was the best partner. By cooperating with him, she could not only obtain gold coins, but also fight against the Temple of the Heavenly God together.
As for how many gold coins she could get, it depended on how many gold coins she could earn for Kailun.
Since Edlin could provide favorability, it meant that she was also a character who played an important role in the world.
It was a pity that Kailun didn’t know what happened in the world after his death, otherwise he would have more room to operate.
“I missed you!”
Phils, who threw herself into his arms, interrupted Kailun’s thoughts. She pushed Chrissy out of Kailun’s arms without any regard for her feelings.
“How can you do this? Don’t you understand first come, first served?”
Chrissy pushed Phils’ shoulder with dissatisfaction, trying to push her out of Kailun’s arms.
Phils, who was holding Kailun’s neck and hanging on him, looked at Chrissy without showing any weakness: “It was clearly me who came first, I knew Kailun before you.”
Then Phils said to Kailun relentlessly: “I saw that you just let Dean Edlin go, do you really not need to arrest her? I feel like she’s hiding a secret, a big secret.”
Kailun put his arm around Phils’ waist and glanced at the mobile palace passing by, watching the troops enter the city.
What fell into his hands was not only Phils’ slender waist, but also the purple hair scattered behind her.
Turning his head back, he saw a look of attachment in Phils’ beautiful purple eyes.
“The matter of Dean Edlin has to be considered carefully, I know she has a secret, but she can’t hide it for long. Trust me, this dean will completely sell herself to me one day.”
Kailun sniffed lightly at Phils’ forehead, he smelled the girl’s passionate fragrance.
“Then can you punish me?” Phils looked at Kailun excitedly.
Kailun asked knowingly: “Why should I punish you? You performed very well during my absence, so I should reward you, hmm… how about rewarding you by letting you go home and rest for two days?”
“No!”
Phils immediately denied it, there was anxiety in her purple eyes: “I don’t want this kind of reward, if it’s this kind of reward, you might as well give it to Anna, she’s the one who needs a reward.”
Anna, who was standing behind Phils: “???”
“I didn’t say that, and I can’t pretend I didn’t hear it.” Anna kicked Phils with dissatisfaction.
“Sister Anna, long time no see, I wonder if you’ve been happy during this time.” Kailun’s gaze fell on Anna.
Today, Anna was wearing a familiar school uniform, full of girlishness.
He didn’t know if she did it on purpose, but this outfit was similar to what she wore when she first met Kailun.
Compared to the enthusiastic Phils, Anna, who was still somewhat reserved, nodded slightly and said, “Not bad.”
“Hey, hey, hey, what about me?” Seeing the three of them interacting harmoniously, Chrissy became even more unhappy.
A huge sense of crisis arose in her heart, feeling that her position was a bit dangerous.
“Right, let me introduce you, this blonde girl is called Chrissy, she’s my exclusive plush ball and the Saint of the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
Hearing Chrissy’s complaint, Kailun kindly introduced her to everyone.
Hearing Kailun’s words, Chrissy’s face fell: “Can you not say it like that? I feel like my status is so low.”
The first person to respond to her was Phils, who deliberately raised her voice with a surprised look: “Oh, oh, oh, I thought who it was, it turns out it’s just a plush ball. With this status, you still dare to bark at me, aren’t you a little too arrogant?”
Looking at the fight in front of her, Anna wisely didn’t participate.
If she really talked about family status, as a pet, she didn’t seem to be much better than Chrissy. From this point of view, Phils, this pervert, actually won.
“Master, do you think so too?” Chrissy decided to take a roundabout approach, she looked at Kailun with a pitiful expression.
Kailun thought for a moment and nodded: “Indeed.”
“….”
Chrissy fell silent, she realized that her status in Kailun’s family might be only a little higher than Hilna’s, even Winnie could be on par with her.
She was the Saint of the Temple, admired by countless people, but she couldn’t even compare to these “country women”, how could she bear this?
She decided that she would have to find Kailun with Phils later and have a showdown to see who could last longer.
However, Chrissy didn’t know that Phils was still a virgin, let alone that they were not on the same track at all.
If she really wanted to have a showdown, she would have to find Hilna and Winnie.
“Tell me what happened while I was away.”
Kailun put Phils on his right and left the left side for Anna.
At first, Anna was a little reserved, but after seeing Chrissy’s restlessness, she quickly ran to Kailun’s left side and hugged his arm.
The three of them walked intimately on the main road of the royal city, leaving Chrissy behind.
Chrissy first strongly condemned Kailun’s disloyal behavior, but in order not to be left too far behind, she endured her little temper and followed Kailun, listening to their conversation.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the magic lamps were already lit in the royal city.
Because Kailun didn’t tell the commoners in the royal city about his return, even though people knew that he had won the battle outside, not many people came out to greet him.
In Kailun’s view, he had only achieved his goal and gained the benefits he deserved.
It wasn’t until tens of thousands of troops passed through the streets that many people came out of their houses to watch.
They looked at the young figure surrounded by beauties with complicated eyes.
In their previous perception, Kailun was just an ordinary person with a powerful background, his talent was even inferior to many commoners, he was the laughingstock of the royal city.
But with the subsequent events, they thought Kailun was a madman, actually daring to provoke the Temple of the Heavenly God and the princess at the same time, he was clearly crazy.
However, the huge reversal that happened in the valley completely changed their perception. After that, many people labeled him as resourceful.
But the two brutal acts made people fear him. Closing the doors of their houses, they would discuss Kailun at home, saying that he was a tyrant, a madman.
But to everyone’s surprise, this tyrant and madman not only made their lives better, but also defeated the invincible Temple of the Heavenly God and captured the powerful Kingdom of Malaga.
You know, the Kingdom of Malaga was slightly stronger than their Kingdom of Xiya, but Kailun won in just a week with an invincible force, it was said that he even captured an eighth-rank mage alive.
In just a few days, the situation reversed, and the Kingdom of Xiya had the power to defeat an eighth-rank.
What was this?
A tyrant, a madman, but also a once-in-a-millennium monarch.
The successive victories and reversals made everyone in the Kingdom of Xiya realize Kailun’s ability, and they naturally placed their hopes on him.
If they could get rid of the heavy shackles on them, even if Kailun was a tyrant and a madman, they would be willing to give him their trust.
It was like a spark falling on dry charcoal, a prairie fire was brewing quietly.
Chrissy, who was following behind Kailun, carefully observed the way these commoners looked at Kailun. She saw a rare thing in their eyes.
Her master seemed to have won over many people invisibly.
Chrissy suddenly felt that she didn’t understand Kailun at all.
If one day she could understand Kailun, would she be able to break free from her status as a plush ball?
After seeing Phils, Chrissy was no longer satisfied with the status quo.
……
“I didn’t expect that Kailun actually won against the Kingdom of Malaga, it’s only been a few days.”
On the way to the Rose Kingdom, Earl Laurist was leading a caravan through the night.
Because of Kailun’s promise, he had already been promoted from viscount to earl.
Philip, the shopkeeper of the Magic Shop, put away the magic letter he had just finished reading and said, “We have never doubted Young Master’s ability. As Steward Roden said, Young Master has always been someone who is good at creating miracles. He can always win thousands of miles away and anticipate the enemy’s moves, even the eighth-rank Kailson is nothing more than that…”
Philip boasted about Kailun proudly, the other party’s ability made him believe that his choice was absolutely correct.
“Yes, that’s right, Kailun has always been good at creating miracles.” Earl Laurist replied awkwardly.
If he hadn’t encountered assassins coming to his door to propose marriage, he would have really believed these people’s nonsense.
Was Kailun a good person?
No, he was a terrifying devil, a terrifying devil who controlled people’s hearts and desires.
The devil wasn’t in the abyss at all, the devil was clearly Kailun himself.
Don’t look at him being an earl now, looking all glorious, but the price was not small.
Was he envious?
He traded his daughter for it.
“We will arrive at Duke Pit’s territory in the Rose Kingdom tomorrow. At that time, leave all the communication to me, you just have to smile.”
Philip was worried that Earl Laurist wouldn’t be reliable, so he reminded him again.
This time, their caravan transported a lot of magic crystals to the Rose Kingdom to trade with Duke Pit. According to Kailun’s plan, this transaction would be done at the previous market price, letting the other party take a small advantage.
Thanks to the hype of the Loya Ball, the price of magic crystals was constantly rising, but the speed of the rise wasn’t very fast yet.
Although many kingdoms had already begun to increase their reserves of magic crystals, more kingdoms were waiting to see the results of the first battle between the Temple of the Heavenly God and the abyss.
Laurist forced an ugly smile: “I understand.”
Philip: “Your smile is a bit fake, but it’s not a big deal, because of Winnie’s existence, I will create a fake persona for you.”
Earl Laurist: “May I ask what kind of persona it is?”
Philip: “A profiteer and noble who rose to power by selling his daughter.”
Earl Laurist: “…”
What was this feeling of wanting to curse but not being able to?
Just you wait, when he became a marquis, he would definitely teach this blind Philip a good lesson.
In the night, the group rushed towards the Rose Kingdom with the caravan, they would be the first group of people to open the gates of the Rose Kingdom.
……
At the same time, Holy Son Joseph had already arrived at a secret stronghold with Paul and the others.
“Wait a moment, Archbishop Henry is busy helping someone break through to the eighth rank, he should be out in about ten minutes.”
The person who received Joseph and the others was an old man in a yellow robe. In terms of status, he was one level higher than the archbishop in blue, known as the archbishop in yellow.
Generally speaking, archbishop and high priest were both honorific titles for them, there was no difference between the two.
The Archbishop Henry he was talking about was the only Holy Son who had reached the ninth rank, he was the representative of the entire Holy Son group.
If it weren’t for this Archbishop Henry reaching the ninth rank, those former Holy Sons like them would still have to be under the command of the Pope.
Now, taking advantage of the turmoil in the abyss, they had gradually separated from the Temple of the Heavenly God.
In name, they were still the forces of the Temple of the Heavenly God, under the jurisdiction and command of the Pope, but in fact, they had already gained a certain degree of freedom.
The old man in the yellow robe glanced over Joseph and Harry, and finally landed on Paul.
He licked his lips and revealed a look of anticipation. This time, Joseph seemed to have really brought a good seedling.
Sensing the ill intentions of the old man in the yellow robe, Paul quickly hid behind Harry, he felt like the other party’s eyes were going to eat him.
“Don’t be afraid, little guy, I mean you no harm. I think you look a lot like my grandson who died young, so I’m a little excited. Come, come closer and let me take a good look.”
The old man in the yellow robe beckoned to Paul, his exposed black teeth sent chills down Paul’s spine.
Paul didn’t need to guess to know that this so-called archbishop in yellow was definitely not a good person.
“I’m very sorry, Bishop, Paul is a shy child and not good at socializing, I will definitely teach him a good lesson later.”
Harry stepped forward and blocked Paul behind him.
There was no escaping, since they were here, they had to take a gamble.
If they won, they would turn the tables, if they lost, they would have nothing.
If Paul still wanted to take revenge on Kailun, this was a hurdle he had to face.
Joseph didn’t say anything when he saw this, because he had gone through the same thing back then.
“Sigh, this is not a good habit, such an introverted child will not be able to find a wife.” The old man in the yellow robe looked at Paul with a smile.
Harry: “Paul doesn’t need a woman, he has me.”
Hearing Harry’s words, Paul wanted to cry but had no tears. Although what Harry said was true, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Half a month ago, he had normal preferences.
But the people he liked were all snatched away by Kailun, his aunt was snatched away, Winnie was snatched away, and even Saint Chrissy, whom he had only fallen for for a day, didn’t escape his clutches.
It seemed that except for Harry, everyone he liked had been snatched away.
Even though so much time had passed, his heart still ached like a knife.
“Click!”
Just as Paul was immersed in sadness, the door behind the old man in the yellow robe opened.
A middle-aged man came out of the room, carrying a pale-faced man.
“Senior?” Seeing the man being carried out, Joseph was completely flustered.
The middle-aged man was the former Holy Son Henry, who didn’t know how old he was, and the pale-faced man was the previous Holy Son, it was he who gave him the power to reach the seventh rank.
But at this moment, his senior was being carried out by Henry like a dead dog.
His heart pounded, an unknown anger surged in his heart.
He looked at Henry, the current archbishop in red, with resentment in his eyes, but with just one glance, he was defeated.
The other party’s cold and ruthless eyes made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar, the huge difference in strength between them brought him back to reality.
“Hmph!”
Henry snorted coldly and threw the man in his hand into the arms of the old man in the yellow robe: “This guy made a mistake when breaking through to the eighth rank, even with my care, I could only barely save his life.”
“Hey, I told him that it would be difficult for this little guy to break through, but he didn’t believe me and insisted on trying. Leave him to me, although I can’t guarantee that he will recover his strength, but I can definitely wake him up. You guys talk first, I’ll go now.”
Carrying the man on his shoulder, the old man in the yellow robe ran away with a smile.
A strange atmosphere enveloped everyone’s hearts.
“Come with me to the council hall, we have to talk about the Pope’s order.”
Glancing at everyone, Henry’s gaze lingered on Paul for a moment longer.
He walked in front, leading the way, giving people a cold and decisive feeling.
Paul and Harry looked at each other, both feeling a huge pressure from Henry.
Following him closely to the council hall, they didn’t even dare to sit down on the chairs.
“I already know about the Pope’s order. Regarding Joseph’s serious mistake this time, the Pope said that she will investigate it thoroughly and replace you within a month.”
Henry sat in the main seat and looked at everyone coldly, his gaze mostly on Joseph: “Do you have any explanation for this? Or do you have a candidate for the next Holy Son? If there is a suitable person, I will help you push him up, otherwise the Pope will definitely push her own person to the position.”
Joseph, who was being led by the nose by Henry, said bravely: “In response to Bishop Henry, I have an inescapable responsibility for this failure, I accept the Pope’s punishment. However, I have already found a suitable person, Paul is the candidate for the Holy Son that I have prepared.”
“So his name is Paul? He looks decent, like a pretty boy. His qualifications are good, he has a high compatibility with the magic we cultivate, I feel a sense of kinship from him.”
Henry nodded in satisfaction. He took out a contract scroll from his sleeve and threw it to Paul: “This is a covenant, if you are willing to join us, sign it, I will have someone arrange the rest later.”
Seeing the other party take out the covenant, Paul immediately thought of Kailun, because this devil Kailun also liked to use contracts to cheat people.
Paul and Harry, who had already been cheated enough, quickly checked the content of the covenant together. After their careful study, it seemed to be just an ordinary covenant without any special clauses.
“We Holy Sons often treat our juniors as family, so there are not so many twists and turns. I am optimistic about your qualifications, you joining us is a win-win situation, this should be the best choice for you, right?”
Henry crossed his legs leisurely. He had already learned about Paul’s information on the way here.
Now that he saw him in person, he was indeed a delicious ingredient.
He needed to cultivate Paul to the level of eighth-rank, close to ninth-rank, and when the time was right, he would devour Paul.
As for Joseph, he was just a consumable.
Now was a critical period of turmoil, the abyss had thrown him an olive branch, and the Pope wanted to get rid of him. In order to maximize his own interests, he chose to play both sides.
On the one hand, he continued to suck the blood of the Temple of the Heavenly God, and on the other hand, he provided some important information to the abyss in exchange for special resources.
“This covenant, I’ll sign it.”
As he expected, Paul became one of them.
……
“Damn it, even though I’ve used the Temple’s teleportation array, there’s still such a long way to go, the Kingdom of Xiya is really too remote.”
The assassin girl complained with dissatisfaction as soon as she entered the territory of the Kingdom of Xiya.
At her speed, even if she traveled day and night, it would still take her a day and a half to reach the royal city, which was a long way.
If it weren’t for this Kailun who suddenly appeared, she should have gone to the battlefield to assassinate important figures in the abyss.
“An eighth-rank at seventeen, is that really possible?”
Thinking of Kailun’s strength, she expressed doubts. According to the latest information from the Temple of the Heavenly God, Kailson’s family was heading towards the royal city of the Kingdom of Xiya and would arrive in a day or two.
It was hard not to suspect that Kailson was a traitor, otherwise why would he be busy transferring his family?
If her guess was correct, then the Kingdom of Xiya was very likely a conspiracy of the abyss, a trap set by the abyss.
“But even if it’s a trap set by the abyss, it doesn’t matter. As long as I want to leave, no one can stop me. I don’t believe that the abyss still has a spare ninth-rank staying in the Kingdom of Xiya. If Kailson is really a traitor, I will kill him too. Betraying the Temple of the Heavenly God is a dead end.”
Because she was too bored, the girl talked to herself along the way to relieve her boredom.
As a sharp knife in the Pope’s hand, she had dealt with many problems for her.
Unlike others, she enjoyed the thrill of killing, enjoyed plunging a dagger deep into the enemy’s heart, and then slowly pulling it out as they watched in horror.
Listening to the sound of blood spurting, that was the most beautiful music.
Every time she immersed herself in the despair and pain of others, her eyes… would get wet.
“Ah~ I can’t wait anymore, Kailun, don’t disappoint me~”
In the night, the girl’s figure flickered continuously, leaving her pleasant but morbid laughter in the jungle.
