The yin demons had been placed in the surroundings to spy on the surroundings. Not even the slightest movement around the shop could escape Han Shuo's notice. Even if the other was a dark grand magus, it would be impossible for them to enter Han Shuo's territory without making a sound.
Han Shuo had already discovered Edwin and Belinda's tracks through the yin demons when they landed on a large tree in the distance. He called out without hesitation.
Even if Han Shuo was the only one in the shop, Han Shuo wouldn't be afraid of Edwin using the magical formation in the courtyard, not to mention that Gilbert and Trunks were also here.
Edwin and Belinda were obviously stunned by Han Shuo's terrifying detection abilities. Astonishment was written all over Edwin's face as he revealed himself from the dense foliage. He looked at Han Shuo in the distance and raised his voice, "How did you discover me?"
"Nothing is impossible!" Han Shuo shouted coldly and then shot a look at Gilbert and Trunks. A calm smile appeared on his face as he elegantly pointed at the empty chairs in the courtyard. He raised his head to look at them, "Since you two are in the mood, why don't you come over and talk in detail? I don't sense any killing intent from you. It looks like you're not here to kill me this time!"
Han Shuo, whose magical arts had reached the bloodlust realm, actually had an extremely acute sense for killing intent that naturally exuded from experts, perhaps due to his growing desire to kill. Edwin and Belinda made no effort to conceal their expressions when they landed on the tree and looked at the courtyard. Their expressions were calm in that moment, with a few traces of curiosity and caution, but they didn't reveal any killing intent.
Edwin was even more surprised when he heard Han Shuo's words. His gaze when he looked at Han Shuo was full of surprise and surprise as he sized up Han Shuo, seeming to want to see something.
After a while, Edwin revealed a bitter smile and shook his head, "I came with sincerity this time, but I can't tell if you have any intention of killing me. Because your courtyard is too dangerous, I won't be coming down for now. I don't want to be killed by a group of young but formidable children like you!"
As he spoke, Edwin landed lightly on the roof of the shop with Belinda. The two didn't dare approach the courtyard lightly, as if they were very wary of the mysteries within. They were prepared to deal with a sudden attack at any time and appeared to be very cautious.
To be honest, Han Shuo did hope that the two would land in the courtyard and then use the magical formation to combine the strength of Gilbert and Trunks to kill them with a thunderous blow. This way, he wouldn't have to constantly be on guard against Edwin's sudden attack.
It was a pity that sly old fox Edwin wouldn't fall for it so easily. Edwin had come to spy on the situation last night and deeply understood the dangers of this courtyard. That was why he hadn't dared to take the risk and land in.
Now that his plan had failed, Han Shuo's expression immediately darkened. He looked darkly at Edwin and Belinda on the roof and said impatiently, "If you're not here to kill me, then are you planning on working together to deal with Ferguson? He's an important figure in the Church of Light and has an irreconcilable enmity with you. You're the ones he should be focusing on. "
"You're wrong! Perhaps you don't even know it yourself, but you've become the Church of Light's mortal enemy. They'll make you disappear from this world at all costs! "Edwin looked deeply at Han Shuo and spoke lowly.
"Oh? I don't think so. Ferguson doesn't represent the entire Church of Light. I think that my enmity with Florida isn't so serious that the entire Church of Light would act against me. Aren't you being a bit too alarmist? "Han Shuo was speechless and spoke mockingly.
Looking at Han Shuo with a pitying expression, Edwin explained slowly, "Your miraculous performance last night made the Church of Light realize just how terrifying you are. The fact that your Little Skull doesn't shine with the radiance of light in particular has sowed the seeds of disaster for you. Even if it wasn't for his grandson, Florida, Ferguson would definitely act against you because your existence is a serious threat to the Church of Light. "
Han Shuo immediately sank into silence when he heard these words. Han Shuo wasn't a stupid person, it was just that he'd never seriously considered this problem. When Edwin reminded him, Han Shuo recalled that the Church of Light seemed to have played the most important role in the destruction of necromancy.
Light magic had a fatal destructive power against the dark creatures of the necromancy major. When the necromancy major was at its peak, hordes of dark creatures would wreak havoc on the continent. The Church of Light would always send out large numbers of disciples to use the most direct and simple light magic to bathe large numbers of dark creatures in light magic and deal a devastating blow.
As Han Shuo thought carefully, he quickly realized that Edwin's words weren't false. The Little Skull and zombies that he'd refined using the secret arts of the magic would be impervious to the destructive attacks of light magic. This was an absolutely intolerable fact for the Church of Light. It looked like he'd unknowingly gotten himself into great trouble.
Seeing that Han Shuo was silent, his straight eyebrows deeply furrowed, and his expression growing darker and darker, Edwin obviously understood that Han Shuo had already realized the severity of the matter. Smiling faintly, Edwin pointed a finger at Han Shuo and said in an extremely bewitching voice, "I'm sure you understand how much influence the Church of Light has on the Profound Continent. Apart from our Calamity Church, who has always resisted them, there are very few powers that can resist them.
Don't hesitate, as long as you join our Calamity Church, we can forget all our past grievances. With you, our Calamity Church's necromancers' research on dark creatures will reach a level that no one before us has ever achieved. Then, with large numbers of dark creatures as an army, we can destroy any Church of Light stronghold in the world and make all living creatures prostrate themselves under our teachings.
And you, you will become the most respected person in the Calamity Church. You will be able to obtain anything you want. Wealth, women, power, it's all at your fingertips. What a wonderful thing! I'm sure that with your wisdom, you can imagine the grand future! "
"Honored master, this old thing's words are quite reasonable. Just agree to him!" Dark dragon Gilbert was so excited when he heard about wealth and women that he didn't know which way was north.
"Shut up!" Han Shuo glared angrily at Gilbert before looking at Edwin, "I'm very sorry, although your suggestion is very tempting, I think I can't agree to it. It's your Church's reputation that's poor. I don't want to become the target of everyone's criticism."
The Calamity Church was a power that everyone hated on the entire Continent. This church hid in the shadows and possessed power that no country dared ignore.
They had a fanatical belief in destruction and an incomprehensible stubborn desire. They were incompatible with the creeds of any country or religion on the Continent. If he joined such a church, Han Shuo would become the enemy of all countries. This was something that Han Shuo absolutely didn't want to see.
Not to mention that every dark creature refined using demonic arts was extremely difficult to refine. It required an enormous amount of manpower and resources. Han Shuo didn't have the slightest bit of confidence that he would be able to refine even more wondrous creatures in large quantities. Even if he succeeded, according to the teachings of the Calamity Church, the Profound Continent would be shrouded in a sea of blood and fire, finally turning into a wasteland. This was obviously not something that he wanted to see.
Han Shuo's resolute refusal without the slightest hesitation obviously puzzled Edwin. He was about to continue trying to persuade him when a beam of black light suddenly shot through the air, shooting straight for Edwin on the roof.
"You should all die! I will avenge big sister Elaine today!" Emily flew over with a furious expression on her face. Her long hair danced in the wind as she held her magic staff, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. She looked like an enraged tigress.
Looking disdainfully at Emily in the distance, Edwin waved his hand and blocked all the attacks with a Barrier of Darkness. He then looked at Han Shuo and smiled faintly, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse. I think that you might change your mind when the Church of Light takes action."
Edwin didn't linger after speaking and left with Belinda, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
If the grand magus Edwin wanted to use the levitation spell to leave, no one here would be able to stop him. Therefore, Emily and Phoebe didn't foolishly chase after him and returned to the courtyard.
"What's going on?" Emily looked at Han Shuo and asked.
Smiling wryly and sighing lightly, Han Shuo said, "I've run into big trouble!"
"What's going on? What's so big that it's giving you a headache?" Emily had been with Han Shuo for so long, but she'd never seen Han Shuo have such a headache. She couldn't help but ask.
When Han Shuo explained the course of events to Han Shuo and Phoebe, the two girls were startled and realized the severity of the situation. Their eyebrows were tightly knit, and they didn't know how to respond.
The Church of Light was different from the Calamity Church. They were the most influential religious organization on the Profound Continent and had a wide network among the populace. Large numbers of people worshiped the Church of Light in any country, and their influence was greater than that of a small country.
"If all the followers of the Church of Light were like Ferguson, then I think the Church of Light wouldn't amount to much!" Han Shuo said disdainfully after thinking for a while.
"No, the majority of the people in the Church of Light are kind and upright. At least, some of the people I know are worthy of respect in terms of character. Ferguson wasn't a bad person to begin with, but he spoiled his grandson too much and often cleaned up after Florida's wanton and willful actions. That's why he gradually became so utilitarian.
In the entire continent, apart from the Calamity Church, there are many necromancers. I think as long as you don't join the Calamity Church, the Church of the God Of Light won't necessarily put you to death. Not all the followers of the Church of Light are so unreasonable! "Emily thought for a while and couldn't help but speak words of comfort to Han Shuo.
"It's hard to say. This matter is indeed somewhat thorny. However, if the Church of Light wants to make a move against me indiscriminately, I won't be lenient. No matter what excuse anyone uses, as long as they want to kill me, I won't hesitate to find a way to kill them! "Han Shuo thought for a while and said in a low voice.
"Master, no matter what you do, your loyal servant Gilbert will swear loyalty to you!" dark dragon Gilbert said in a timely manner.
"Trunks, all the Soul Destroyer Mercenary Band's operations in the future will be carried out under your name. Also, don't tell anyone about the relationship between this mercenary and me. Otherwise, I think it may bring unnecessary trouble to the mercenary band because of my identity! "Han Shuo suddenly said to Trunks after pondering for a while.
"Brian, do you think I'm someone who's afraid of trouble?" Trunks was somewhat displeased as he said coldly.
Shaking his head, Han Shuo said, "Don't think too much, the mercenary band is mine. However, don't make this matter public for the time being. It won't be too late to make it public after I've settled the Church of Light's troubles. You should know that our mercenary band has just started and I also want it to develop even faster. Therefore, we can't let this matter affect it for the time being! "
After hearing Han Shuo's explanation, Trunks' expression returned to normal. He smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "You're the leader, I'll do whatever you say. This is the mercenary band's rule!"
"What have you two been doing today? Why haven't you been in the shop the entire day?" Seeing that Trunks had agreed, Han Shuo turned his head to look at Emily and Phoebe, asking in astonishment.
"I've negotiated a big business deal. I've already dealt with all the things you gave me. We've received a total of seventy thousand gold coins. Apart from the amount used to establish the mercenary band, I'll be keeping the rest for you for the time being!" Phoebe explained.
"Sister Cecilia, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, has always been in charge of the Dark Mantle's various affairs outside of the Empire. She suddenly came to the Valley of Sunshine today and I immediately went to see her after receiving the news. Because we talked about old times, I was delayed for the entire day." Emily looked at Han Shuo and explained. She paused and smiled faintly, saying, "She's very curious about you because I've discussed some matters of cooperation with you!"
