Chapter 464: Persuasive Enough?

Fei was a little disappointed after hearing the rejection.

After he made an educated guess about the identities of these two people, he had been thinking about recruiting them to Chambord. Except for Lampard who had some secrets, other warriors and masters of Chambord such as Drogba, Pierce, and Torres were all stimulated by Fei using the [Hulk Potion] and other methods; it was in a way pulling on the grass to make them grow taller.

(TL: An Chinese Idiom describing the action of exhausting future potential just to make quick gains. In this case, although the potential of these warriors was limited, it was still not sustainable.)

Although these men were loyal, they were all from the little Chambord Kingdom and lacked a broad view of the world around them.

However, people like Hazel Bank were different.

This Undead Mage had made a name for himself more than 100 years ago. Even though he was severely injured at the moment, he was still a master who had seen a lot of incidents and was very knowledgeable; he was like a walking encyclopedia. If Fei could get help from a man like this, it would be no different to putting a pair of wings on a tiger.

(TL: A Chinese Idiom describing the action of making someone powerful even mightier.)

After the short moment of interaction and knowing the calm attitude Hazel Bank had towards the soldiers of Zenit in this deserted city, Fei knew that this man wasn’t a bad person as the rumors had stated but rather a man with integrity and ethics. Also, since Fei had the Necromancer Character and had the Death Energy, he didn’t naturally dislike Hazel Bank. Instead, because of the empathy he had towards the fate of the Undead Mages in this world, he felt somewhat intimate towards them.

Everything fitted Fei’s criteria, but he didn’t expect the refusal.

However, Fei smiled and wanted to recruit Hazel Bank even more after hearing the reasoning this Undead Mage gave.

The fact that Hazel Bank thought that way meant he was already putting Fei before himself. Fei felt like this man had a better character than he initially believed since Hazel Bank could still think this way when he was in this terrible situation.

“Don’t worry! I have my ways of dealing with the Holy Church. I can promise you that they won’t find a thing,” Fei patted his chest and swore.

Hazel Bank shook his head and said earnestly, “Young man, you can say that because you don’t know how terrifying the Holy Church is. Some people and forces could fool them, but you and Chambord couldn’t do it. Young man, don’t bet on your luck; you can’t bear the consequences if it fails.”

Fei laughed and replied, “What if I can? I mean if I can deal with the Holy Church, would you be willing to join me?”

The Undead Mage shook his head again as he observed the stubborn expression on Fei’s face; he thought this stubbornness originated from the self-conceitedness of a young man who hadn’t seen much of the world yet. However, he then nodded and replied, “If you can prove to me that you could fool the Holy Church, I will join Chambord and serve you. However, your method of fooling them has to be acknowledged by me.”

“Hehe, little guy, give up! This Old Bastard is really stubborn! His donkey-like personality is stinky and unchangeable like the rocks in Hell! In the last 100 years, I haven’t seen anyone who successfully persuaded him!” Arthur walked over and jumped up to pat Fei’s shoulder.

Although Fei knew that this little boy wasn’t ordinary, the elderly tone this boy use was still hilarious. This boy looked small, but he talked as if he was Fei’s grandpa……

However, Fei didn’t say a thing; the King simply changed to the Paladin Mode.

The power of the level 72 Paladin was released, and a vast amount of golden Holy Power emitted to the surroundings. The cold and gloomy Undead Energy that previously filled the palace instantly disappeared, and the place was now warm and bright.

“Ah!…… You…… it hurts! Ah!……” Arthur who still had his hand on Fei’s shoulder didn’t react in time, and the golden Holy Power instantly burned his small pink hand. As a nose-piercing smell appeared, Arthur dashed away as if he encountered something terrifying.

“This…… huh?! Impossible! That is impossible!” Hazel Bank was stupefied.

As the majestic and vast golden Holy Power rushed out of Fei’s body, the entire palace was lit up. As if this Holy Power was going to clean up this place, it went to every corner of the palace, and the holy sensation would make people feel like kneeling down and worshipping it.

This was the purest Holy Power; only the luckiest and most devoted people could have it.

“How could a person with the supreme Death Energy and high-level Undead Spells be capable of the Holy Power? That is impossible! The grey Undead Energy and the golden Holy Power are like water and fire; they couldn’t be kept together in harmony! Like water and fire, light and darkness, they are mutually exclusive! This is the iron law that existed over thousands of years! But it is broken by this young King easily!” Hazel Bank thought.

As the golden Holy Power shined in the palace, the black skeleton soldiers that Hazel Bank summoned started to melt as if they were snowflakes in a hot summer day. As the black mist flowed out of the black skeleton soldiers, the skeletons collapsed onto the ground and cracked.

The Undead Creatures Fei summoned in the Necromancer Mode disappeared when he switched to the Paladin Mode, so the Holy Power didn’t harm them.

Even though Hazel Bank’s body was hurting from the golden Holy Power, he was so shocked that his reaction speed was dull. It was the slowest few seconds he ever experienced in his lifetime. He never thought that this was possible, and his composure was completely lost. His mouth was wide open, he forgot to breathe, and his mind was blank!

Arthur who ran behind Hazel Bank was undergoing some drastic changes.

His clear and crystal-like eyes turned completely black like two abysses as if they would even devour the sunlight; they weren’t the eyes of a human. At the same time, his hand that was burned by Fei’s Holy Power changed shape. The pink skin got burned off, and what was underneath was a black bone claw that was reflecting chilling lights; it looked vicious and terrifying.

It wasn’t the hand of a human but the claw of a Demon Beast!

Fei suddenly recalled a rumor; the evil Undead Mage Hazel Bank had once created a mighty Undead Bone Dragon! It was heard that this evil Undead Bone Dragon was capable of substantial destructive force, and it followed Hazel Bank around and created a trail of victories. In short, it was almost invincible……

“Could it be that this little boy is that powerful Undead Bone Dragon? This is too surprising!”

Just like Fei predicted, a painful expression appeared on Arthur’s face as the Holy Power shined on him more. His skin started to disappear, and chunks of black bones were revealed. Soon, his little body began to enlarge, and the little boy that was about 1.2 meters tall grew to more than four meters tall. Half of his body was still in the shape of the little boy, but the other half of his body was a huge skeletal creature! It was bizarre and terrifying!

The bones in Arthur’s body were huge! They were obviously bones of a dragon!

However, this Undead Bone Dragon that was terrifying and powerful years ago was now really weak. It was barely on the level of mid-tier New Moon, so its strength was a little weaker compared to [Snow Mountain Hermit].

Black mist continued to smoke out of Arthur’s body as he met his nemesis. Although his face still looked like a boy, he roared and let out a series of loud sound waves; that sent clouds of dust and chipped bones into the air.

Hazel Bank who was stupefied finally woke up after hearing the roar, and he quickly chanted some spell as he injected several dashes of black mist into Arthur’s body. Gradually, this Undead Bone Dragon calmed down, and its body started to turn back to the shape of a boy.

At this time, Fei pulled back his aura of the Paladin, and all the golden flames in the palace disappeared.

“What do you think of my proof? It is persuasive enough?” Fei asked with a bright smile on his face.
