Chapter 293: The Temple Knights
Han Shuo didn’t expend too much effort in refining the water elite zombie. Thanks to the earth, wood and fire elite zombies, he was well versed in the process. After everything was finished,
Han Shuo jumped out of the well and suddenly felt two unfamiliar presences.
The deathly air of the Shura Soul Formation was quietly circulating in the shop’s courtyard. Dark grand magus Edwin of the Calamity Church and the female alchemist Belinda was wandering around outside. They didn’t dare to come in, and could only looked down in shock at this gloomy yard from the rooftop.
A concentrated sense of death could be found within the Shura Soul Formation. The two people absolutely couldn’t see what Han Shuo was doing inside. But for Han Shuo, he only needed to lift his head after jumping out of the well to see the two experts of the Calamity Church clearly.
Edwin and Belinda obviously knew there was a great danger hidden below. They looked down in shock at the changes, not daring to risk entering the formation. They appeared very wary and cautious.
Thanks to the Rainbow Sickle ambush last time, the two already knew that this place was extremely dangerous. Han Shuo knew they knew, so it was understandable that these two didn’t dare to draw close.
After circling around the courtyard to inspect it, Han Shuo walked towards the eye of the formation and shot a black light onto it. The violent, gloomy deathly air in the formation instantly dispersed and the formation returned to its inert state.
Han Shuo sat down on a chair in the courtyard, lazily looking up at Edwin on the rooftop. He asked indifferently, “Mister Edwin, it seems that you’re always this surreptitious when you pay a visit. Can it be that this is how your Calamity Church operates?”
Edwin still didn’t dare to come down even though the changes in the courtyard had disappeared. Having heard Han Shuo’s words, he chuckled and said, “My apologies. We’ll stay up here for our little chat. Congratulations on killing Ferguson. However, you’ve also completely offended the Church of Light. They’ll spare no costs in dealing with you now. So, heh heh, our Calamity Church sincerely invites you to join us. We’re willing to pay any price as long as you’re willing to join us.”
“Sorry, not interested!” Han Shuo had declined before, and he was still determined to turn them down all the same. He left no room for further negotiation.
“Alright then. Since you don’t want to join us, let’s discuss a bit about cooperation instead. Hehe, the Church of Light has dispatched a small troop of Temple Knights, whose goal is to deal with you. The Temple Knights don’t number many, but each one is a true expert. This troop is the sword that the Church of Light uses to eradicate heretics. They are currently marching towards Brettel City, just waiting for you to arrive.”
“Even if you hadn’t come to the Valley of Sunshine today, my people would have still gone to inform you when you arrived at Brettel City. But I didn’t expect to be able to meet you here, and that’s why I’m telling you in advance to see if we can possibly cooperate!” Edwin was truly sincere, he’d informed Han Shuo of this important information at first opportunity.
Han Shuo involuntarily frowned at Edwin’s words. The main headquarters of the Church of Light headquarters was positioned in the most powerful nation of the Profound Continent – the Oden Empire. This Empire was separated from the Lancelot Empire by the Angel Empire. The Temple Knights had always protected the Temple of Light loyally. It seemed the Church if Light was truly determined this time if they’d dispatched a small troop of Temple Knight just for Han Shuo.
“I won’t cooperate with you for now. However if I need something, I just might contact you!” Han Shuo thought for a while before telling Edwin.
Edwin immediately grinned upon hearing Han Shuo’s words and said, “The Calamity Church and the Church of Light are death sworn enemies in the Profound Continent! Alright then, if you encounter any trouble, our Calamity Church may just appear at your side. Let’s meet again then!”
Edwin and Belinda didn’t linger after speaking these words. They swept a casual glance around the surroundings before cautiously leaving Han Shuo’s rooftop and disappearing out of sight.
Han Shuo immediately stood up after Edwin and Belinda left. He released all three yin demons and had them follow after Edwin and Belinda. He intended to see why these two had come to the Valley of Sunshine.
Edwin and Belinda were very careful, they made a lot of turns along the way, guarding against the tracking of any possible enemy. However, they couldn’t hide their presence from the three yin demons’ surveillance.
In the end, the two people unexpectedly entered the Cairo mercenary band’s headquarters. Han Shuo was secretly tracking them this time so he didn’t enter the headquarters openly. Instead, he hid in a corner of the valley that wasn’t very far away and used the three yin demons to spy on Edwin’s actions.
