Chapter 780: Contacting to Join ForcesTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

The middle-aged man took a look at Charlot and asked, “You’re Fang Xingjian’s disciple? What proof do you have?”

Charlot had already thought of how to deal with this very early on. He took out the documents and credentials he had brought with him from the Great Western Region and said, “This is the verification that the Great Western Region’s Governor issued to me. There’s also a stream of sword intent left behind by my Master.”

The middle-aged man took a look at him as he took the documents. Then at the next moment, he sensed a surge of sword intent gushing toward him. The extremely sharp sword intent brushed through his entire body, making him feel like his soul was frozen.

He was just a liaising contact the Church kept here. So, although he had the cultivation of a Demigod with two tiers of perfection, his will seemed like it was going to freeze after being grazed by Fang Xingjian’s sword intent.

There were not many people in the world who could possess such sword arts and sword intents. At the very least, amongst the Mage Association and the Empire’s royal family, such a person did not exist.

Letting out a breath, the middle-aged man said, “What a strong sword intent. As expected of the swordsman who can fight Alexander without being at a disadvantage.

Charlot said, “This should be fine, right? Can you help me contact the Church’s Guardian Kings? This time around, the evil god summoning ritual is unlike anything before. If they succeed, it’ll be a great threat to the whole world.”

“You can call me Ebert,” the middle-aged man said. Then he shook his head and continued, “Unfortunately, I’m unable to help you get the Guardian Kings here. The most I can do is to report the situation. As for whether the Guardian Kings want to meet you or not, it’s not something I can decide.”

Charlot nodded. “Then please report this as soon as possible. The evil god summoning ritual will start latest tomorrow. We don’t have anymore time to waste.”

Ebert said, “Wait here for a moment. I’ll go and report the situation.”

Charlot had not expected that this wait would take a whole three hours. He had urged Ebert many times but was still unable to hasten the Church’s efficiency in handling the matter.

Three hours later, Ebert returned to the room once again only to sigh and say, “I’d like very much to help you, but the Guardian Kings aren’t willing to meet you and your Master.”

“What?!” Charlot said angrily, “Did you not explain to them clearly?”

“I’m sorry, I already explained it very clearly.” The messages from the upper echelon had been transmitted into Ebert’s mind.

‘Fang Xingjian? Who is that?’

‘A genius of the Empire? A swordsman who can put up a fight against Alexander?’

‘Hmph, he’s only thinking of using the power of the Church to deal with the royal family. We don’t have time to participate in the internal strife of thoses country bumpkins.’

‘Just let him deal with the Krieg royal family. The Mage Association will be left to the Guardian Kings. Only the Guardian Kings can deal with Mage King level experts…’

As a member of the Church, Ebert was well aware of just how arrogant the members of the upper echelon were. They did not think that Fang Xingjian would be of any use in the fight at the Mage King level. The entire Empire and the Steel Lion Kingdom were merely like the insignificant countryside to those who took on high ranks in the Church. To them, the Church the center of the world.

Additionally, the great battle which had occurred in the Imperial Capital a few days ago was only known to the few people involved, and news of it had yet to spread.

Therefore, it was not just the members of the Church’s upper echelon who thought that Fang Xingjian would be able to go up against the Mage Association’s Mage Kings. Even Ebert thought the same way.

Only the Guardian Kings and Saints would be able to deal with the Mage Kings. This was the experience that the Church had managed to obtain after ten millions of years.

However, although they did not think that Fang Xingjian would be able to fight against the Mage Kings, they felt that he should at least be able to hold up the Krieg royal family and reduce the burdens on the Guardian Kings. After all, the current situation in the north was very tricky, and they could only send two Guardian Kings at most. This was already the most they could do.

Thinking this, Ebert looked at Charlot and chose his words carefully, “Charlot, we need your power and your Master’s power. We need your help. However, the Guardian Kings are esteem existences in the Church, and unless there is a necessity, they won’t easily leave their respective bases.

“However, if the evil god summoning really starts tomorrow, we can join forces with you.
