330 I Don’t Talk to a Retard (2/2)
On the other side, the supreme inquisitor puzzledly asked after being ignored for a long time by the administrator.
The administrator took a deep sigh. ”You guys… should just come back. Wang Lu’s whereabout has already been found.”
”What? Where?”
”King’s Treasure House.”
”King’s Treasure House? How could that be?”
However, the administrator has no interest to explain. He impatiently said, ”I’ll tell you the details once you’re here!”
Upon hearing those words, the supreme inquisitor became irritated. F*ck you, Paul! Do you think I’m your subordinate that you can send and call at your will! We are all five legendary holy ones of Holy Light Religion, since when did you become superior to me? Let alone, if you didn’t provide this false information, why would I bother wasting a few days of my time? What a loser!
In fact, as the administrator of the King’s Treasure House, the holy one Paul was one of a kind in the Holy Light Religion. Regardless of his resourcefulness, personality, and talent, none of them were outstanding. But as someone with an astonishingly high aptitude for profession, he was extraordinarily lucky. Those geniuses of his peers have already drowned in the river of history, yet he stood out, and even reached the legendary level! Initially, among the several legendary level holy ones, he was the last in terms of standing. However, ninety years ago, by chance coincidence, he obtained the authority of the administrator, which immediately drastically changed the future hundred years of Holy Light Religion’s strategic situation, which made his status sharply rose. Becoming the third among the five legendary characters, above the Supreme Inquisitor and the Commander of the Bloodlust Holy Knight, and below the Pope and the Prophet.
However, no matter how angry the Supreme Inquisitor was, he knew that this was not about personal gratitude and grudge. The King’s Treasure House was the core strategic point of the church, and after more than eighty years of development, this place was even more important than the place where the church originated. A place that they absolutely could not lose. Moreover… the Pope had secretly exhorted the several holy ones, telling them that, towards Paul, although his ability was limited, his status was extremely important, therefore they should assist him in any way possible. In any case, although Paul seemed to be revered, he didn’t have too much real power within the church. Apart from the King’s Treasure House, he couldn’t even order any archbishop as he wishes. He was basically one who is cut off from the others.
At the same time, inside the King’s Treasure House, Paul was wracked with worry.
They were already on the third pass… If they continued to maintain this momentum, perhaps even the test on the third pass could not hold Wang Lu down, and once he arrived at the fourth pass, it would be a life and death test.
His acquisition of the administrative authority was based on the backing of the entire church to pass through the four passes. And according to the rules of the Treasure House, if Wang Lu and his teammates could have a better result than him in the champions trial, then they could replace him.
If they managed to go through the fifth pass, then they would win without any suspense. However, even if they were not, as long as the result on the fourth pass was at least equal to Paul, based on the results on the first couple of passes, how could it be compared with Wang Lu’s four days crossing through two passes?
Once Wang Lu managed to go through the fourth pass, the administrator position was bound to fall on Wang Lu. Therefore, seeing Wang Lu walking towards the third pass, Paul was unbearably anxious.
Unfortunately, because of the unrest caused by the eastern city states and nine regions, the prophet and the pope all went to the east deal with it. Meanwhile, the Commander of the Bloodlust Holy Knight was firmly placed on the western border, never to be moved. At this time, Paul didn’t know which one to ask for help!
In his opinion, since this was his problem as the holy one, then it needed to be solved by another holy one.
”How come the Supreme Inquisitor isn’t here yet?” Even though the supreme inquisitor was legendary level, it was impossible to cross half the continent in a flash. However, Paul still couldn’t suppress his resentment. At this time, he peeped on the window once again and saw that Wang Lu and his team had arrived at the third stone gate and began to methodically deal with it. Wang Lu even looked more confident now!
”Do I have to overturn the table and damage my authority as the manager to break the peeping window and directly deal with them?” While he was anxious, Paul even began to entertain an extreme thought.
In his role as the administrator, if we went against the rules of the King’s Treasure House, he could indeed directly interrupt Wang Lu’s trial process. Of course, he would pay the price, and the punishment would be severe. However, it was better than to just sit and watch as the opponent march to victory.
After thinking about this, Paul finally tried to send a message to the Pope and the Prophet. However, he didn’t get any response, and the Supreme Inquisitor himself was still in the distant highland of thorny ice… Paul bit his teeth and decided to wait for the Supreme Inquisitor to come back first.
”I don’t recommend making your move now.”
At this time, a gentle voice suddenly came from his side. Paul’s heart was startled. He turned his head and saw a pale face without characteristics of a face.
”Faceless One, it’s you!”
Towards this church’s sharpest knife, Paul’s feeling was slightly complicated. On the one hand, the status of Faceless One in the church was very special. Although based on rank, he was still below the five legendary level holy ones, but only the prophet and the pope have the right to dispatch him. Moreover, he didn’t listen to anyone. His real status was even vaguely above Paul, making him inwardly scared. And also, Faceless One has directly or indirectly helped him. But on the other hand, Faceless One, in the end, was not a legendary level character, therefore, Paul would always have a feeling of superiority when facing Faceless One.
Faceless One, however, actually didn’t care about the other side’s mental activity, but just lightly explained, ”If you make your move now, it would end up in a completely reversed situation. The entire treasure house will resist you. So let’s wait until they get to the fourth pass while in the meantime we can consolidate more power. And at the fourth level, we can also reasonably intervene without worrying about resistance from the treasure house.”
”But on the fourth level, we will have no way to retreat!”
”If you want to win, why do you need a fallback?” Faceless One lightly explained.
Paul was startled and then immediately pondered. He said, ”Very well, I’ll agree to your suggestion, but if there’s something wrong…”
Faceless One coldly said, ”If there’s a mistake, even if you can push the blame on me, you will still lose the authority of the treasure house’s administrator. So use your poor brain on a more serious place, stop thinking about useless thing.”
”You! How dare you talk to me like that!” Paul flew into a rage.
”Don’t forget, ninety years ago, who helped you get this administrative position? Based on you alone, do you think you can arrive at the fifth pass?” Faceless One lightly said, ”Therefore, sit down, shut up, and listen to me carefully. Remember, this time, you need my help.”
Paul’s heart was furious. However, seeing that pale face, it was as if there was cold water poured into his initially palpitating heart, leaving him with no words to speak.
