Chapter 653 - Embezzlement (2/2)

William was upset to hear that. “Schuck, it’s the Saint Samurai’s responsibility and belief to devote everything to the goddess. We should do our best to disseminate the goddess’s glory, and this is a good opportunity. Convince them to lead the attack, so that the real light can stay. Isn’t that what we should do? The Golden Sons are a capable people. It will be a great thing if they can become the goddess’s lambs. We should try our best…”

“Stop.” Schuck waved his hand and interrupted William. “Like I said, we can disseminate light, but we can’t force them to worship alongside us.”

“This is misconduct, Schuck.” William became unhappier. “I don’t understand why the honorable goddess favors such an undevoted believer like you.”

Schuck chuckled. “Because I read and understand the doctrines and the goddess’s thoughts. The goddess and I are both believers of light and partners on the journey forward. I’m not her believer, and she’s not my superior. That’s why I grow faster than you do.”

William, as a competitive man, was frustrated and even infuriated by those words. “Schuck, that’s blasphemy and disloyalty. Who do you think you are to walk alongside the goddess?”

He was about to continue accusing Schuck, but Schuck suddenly emitted vague golden light, and a halo appeared behind him and illuminated the place like the sun.

“A saint!” William paled and subconsciously stepped back.

The other Saint Samurai in the conference room subconsciously bowed and paid their sincere respects to Schuck.

The saints were the real spokespersons of the gods on Earth. They understood everything the gods thought and did, and they could communicate with gods all the time.

Their word carried more weight than the pope’s.

Since the foundation of the Church of Light, only two saints had appeared, and Schuck was the third.

He was also the only saint who was also a Saint Samurai.

After a brief shock, William willingly lowered his head.

The Saint Samurai could sometimes be jealous or angry, but they would remain Saint Samurai as long as they didn’t make major mistakes and rectified their wrongdoing in time.

After all, human beings tended to err.

Recalling the golden sheen all over his body, Schuck heaved a sigh and said, “Although what William said was unrealistic, it did shed some light on me. It’s impossible to ask a lot of Golden Sons to attack, but we can hire some particularly capable Golden Sons to help us.” Dinah asked curiously, “Who will we hire?”

“Mages!” Schuck thought for a moment and said, “However, their payment may be expensive, so I apply to make use of three hundred backup gold coins. Show of hands, all Saint Samurai.” After that, Schuck raised his hand first. Very soon, the others raised theirs too.

There was no need to disagree with a new saint. Also, they found that Schuck was quite capable and good at commanding.

Half an hour later, Roland received a message on the guild channel.

Schuck: “We’ve encountered a very long wall. It’s probably more than a thousand meters long, and can’t be circumvented. Do you have any solution?”

Roland: “A demonic version of the Great Wall?”

Schuck: “More or less?”

Roland: “How about I sneak in and open the gate for you?”

Schuck: “You can do whatever you want. As long as it works, the Church of Light will offer your three hundred gold coins.” Roland: “You’re just giving me money with an excuse, aren’t you?” Schuck: “Not at all. You’re the only person that can take care of this problem right now. It’s definitely not embezzlement. I’m a decent and honest man.”

Roland: “Okay, I’ve just invented a spell and it’s a good opportunity to try it.”

Then, Roland teleported to the Realm of Devils and found Schuck on the battlefield with Human Cannonball.

“This is the down payment.” Schuck gave the bag of gold coins to Roland while everybody looked at them. “You can do whatever you want to create an opening on the wall.”

Roland put the gold coins in his system Backpack and flew off with magic.

He found the temporary camp of the Phoenix Guild.

The camp was quite easy to find.

Those girls were all Elven Summoners, and many of them who were still virgins had summoned unicorns.

The unicorns were holy beasts, and flowers and grasses would grow wherever they stayed, even in deserts.

The multiple unicorns somehow generated a tiny “oasis” in the red Realm of Devils.

Of course, those flowers and grasses were all created by magic power, and they would wither away after the unicorns left. Roland found Solisa and said, “The Church of Light asked me to create an opening on the gap ahead, and I need your help. However, I won’t let you work for nothing. You will be given 150 gold coins whether it succeeds or not.”

Roland found it reasonable to share half of the payment with the Summoners. Solisa’s eyes lightly glittered. “That’s fine with us, but can we livestream it?”
