Chapter 465: We Will Join

“This…… How did you do that?” Hazel Bank asked subconsciously as he was shocked and couldn’t figure it out.

The people who could use the Death Energy were referred to as the [Death’s Favorite Children], and the people who could use the golden Holy Power were referred to as the [God’s Favorite Children]. But now, they were one person. It was something that could shock the entire continent.

Fei smiled and said mysteriously, “This is a secret…… Hehe, but you can make a decision now, right?”

“This……” Hazel Bank paused for a second before continuing, “Yes, you have the golden Holy Power. The people who have this power is called [God’s Favorite Children], and you can join the Holy Church at any time and become a high-up official. You even have the potential of becoming the next Pope. With this power, no one would dare to point their fingers at you. If they do, they would be shaming the god. Since you can switch between the Death Energy and the golden Holy Power smoothly, you can fool the Holy Church if you are careful.”

After another pause, Hazel Bank frowned and asked, “But, are you a [God’s Favorite Child] or a [Death’s Favorite Child]? In the battle between the Holy Church and the Undead Shrine, which side would you take?”

“Is this decision that important?” Fei looked at this Undead Mage and asked as he looked at him with a strange expression, “Why do I need to make a decision? People are free to choose the power and energy they want to cultivate. If I stand with the Undead Shrine, would it mean that I need to treat the people in the Holy Church the same way as how they treated the Undead Mages? If I reached the top, would I have to kill everyone who cultivates the Holy Power?”

Fei shook his head and continued, “No, I won’t do that. Otherwise, it is just another vicious cycle. It is meaningless. Do you want that to happen? The people with power do the wrongs, but it is the people who are at the bottom of the social ladder that would suffer. If I need to make a decision, I will stand with all the cultivators in this world. There is no right or wrong in the different paths of cultivation; there are just righteous and evil people.”

Hazel Bank fell into a moment of silence after hearing that.

Fei looked at this Undead Mage and didn’t regret anything.

He didn’t want to surprise this man, but his ways of thinking and views of the world were already formed on Earth. He didn’t like the Holy Church, but he didn’t want to kill everyone who was involved with it. In fact, Fei didn’t even want to rule the continent or conquer other empires; in his mind, those were just too much work. If one day he were powerful enough to shield his loved ones from the harm that existed in this world that was ruled by the law of the jungle, he would rather chill and travel with his friends and families.

The atmosphere in the palace was silent.

Arthur who returned to his human form stood behind Hazel Bank and looked at Fei with complex emotions in his eyes. As an intellectual creature created by Hazel Bank hundreds of years ago, he had seen enough of the world to make his mind and judgments. Although he hated those Holy Knights and Priests of the Holy Church who were all hypocrites and wanted to kill them all, he felt like what this young King had said was indeed how everything should be.

After a while, the silence persisted.

Hazel Bank lowered his head and thought carefully. He frowned, and a ton of sweat appeared around his temples and slid down his neck. In the end, his sweat even contained some blood! This would only occur if someone were thinking extremely hard.

Fei waited patiently for this Undead Mage’s decision.

Time passed by slowly.

Suddenly, Hazel Bank opened his eyes that were as clear as ever. The faint worry hidden deep in his eyes disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face. The atmosphere in the palace instantly turned light and casual.

“You are right! Arthur and I will join Chambord,” the Undead Mage opened his mouth and said.

Fei finally let go of the breath he was holding in and relaxed.

Having Hazel Bank joining Chambord was a huge surprise! Although the King only came up with this idea not too long ago, he was taking some risk. If they ended up disagreeing and battling, that would be a terrifying situation. Even though Hazel Bank and Arthur couldn’t harm Fei, they could destroy Death Ancient City and close to 30,000 soldiers of Zenit in here. Of course, Fei didn’t make an impulsive decision. His Necromancer Character and his Paladin Character both added to his chance of success.

“It is an honor to have an Elder like you join us. I’m sure time will prove to you that your decision is indeed correct,” Fei said as he took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Hazel Bank respectfully.

“Hey, kid! The Old Bastard agreed, but I haven’t! What kind of treasure do you have? Gold, weapons, valuables…… take them out and let me have a look!” Arthur suddenly ran to Fei with his hands on his waist as he shouted; it looked like he was about to rob Fei.

“Little kid!” Fei slapped Arthur’s head as he took out another bottle of wine.

“You……” Arthur was mad after he got slapped, but he couldn’t resist the wine. He took the wine quickly with green lights flashing in his eyes before drinking it happily.

Although this Undead Bone Dragon that was evil and vicious in legends had lived for hundreds of years, he did behave just like a little kid. After being with this Undead Mage after a long time, he got a little greedy and a little lewd; also, he had a slight drinking problem. In addition, since he was created from the skeleton of a real dragon, the strong possessiveness towards treasures couldn’t be eliminated. After hundreds of years of accumulation, this little boy was now indeed a little devil.

However, the good thing was that little kids like Arthur could be easily dealt with. In this case, a bottle of aromatic wine would do.

……

Dual-Flags City.

Inside a building in the Church.

“What is going on? I couldn’t detect those two devils with my Crystal Eyes?” Red-Robed Deacon Pellegrini murmured as the strong silver Holy Power slowly disappeared. His fingers left the white crystal sphere on the table, and he was exhausted from using the technique to search for Hazel Bank and Arthur in the area.

“Sir, could it be that those two devils left after detecting our appearance?” a Holy Knight asked.

“Impossible! You guys don’t know Hazel Bank that well; this devil is never scared of anyone. In addition, the Mythical Gate is opening the day after tomorrow. If he wants to restore his strength, he would want to enter the Mythical Palace to seek……” Pellegrini shook his head and said. “Theoretically, he and that evil dragon should only have the strength of New Moon at the moment, and they couldn’t escape from my Crystal Eyes. However, I can’t detect them now! Could it be…… impossible!” it looked like he thought of a possibility and instantly rejected it.

“Sir, what is impossible?” the youngest priest in the team asked; he was the most inexperienced as well.

However, Pellegrini’s face dropped as he looked at this young man. Afterward, he ignored him and left this building.

It was evident that the Red-Robed Deacon wasn’t pleased.

The other people in the team looked at this young man with gloating expressions as they left this building as well; they all returned to their rooms to rest.

“Jessie! When can you learn to read the situation and act accordingly?” the weakest Holy Knight named Alan said as he walked over and patted Jessie’s shoulder. He explained, “Unless that Undead Mage’s strength is much higher than Mr. Pellegrini’s! If that is the case, it meant that we were all fooled by that devil! Otherwise, how could Mr. Pellegrini be able to detect that devil before but not now? You got to learn to become smarter! Everyone knows it, but you had to make it public. Aren’t you making Mr. Pellegrini look bad?”
