With the experience of refining the earth, wood, and fire elite zombies, Han Shuo didn't spend too much effort on the water elite zombie. When Han Shuo had finished and leapt out of the well, Han Shuo suddenly sensed two unfamiliar presences.
The "Shura Soul Formation" was still operating in the courtyard of the shop, and it was filled with a deathly aura. The Calamity Church's dark grand magus Edwin and the female alchemist Belinda were pacing back and forth outside the formation, not daring to enter. They looked at the gloomy courtyard from the surrounding rooftops.
The aura of death within the "Shura Soul Formation" was thick, and the two of them couldn't clearly see what Han Shuo was doing inside. Han Shuo could clearly see the two experts of the Calamity Church when he walked out of the well and raised his head.
Edwin and Belinda obviously knew that great danger lay below. Therefore, although they looked at the changes below with astonishment, they didn't dare take the risk of entering the formation. They appeared to be quite cautious.
Han Shuo knew that Edwin and Belinda had already understood the dangers of this place when the experts of the Rainbow Sickle Mercenary Band had ambushed this place last time. It was only natural that they didn't dare approach this time.
Han Shuo walked to the eye of the formation and sent a beam of dark light into it. The originally howling wind and deathly aura of death dissipated in an instant and the formation returned to its normal state.
Han Shuo sat down on the chair in the middle and looked lazily at Edwin on the rooftop. He said faintly, "Mister Edwin, it seems that you're always this sneaky every time you come. Is this how your Calamity Church does things?"
Although the strange changes in the courtyard had disappeared, Edwin and Belinda didn't dare walk down. They chuckled and said, "Sorry, let's chat up here for a while. Congratulations on killing Ferguson, but you've also angered the Church of Light. They'll pay any price to deal with you this time. Heh heh, our Calamity Church sincerely invites you to join us. As long as you're willing to join us, we'll pay any price. "
"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Han Shuo had rejected them last time, and now Han Shuo was still rejecting them without any room for discussion.
"Alright then. Since you're not willing to join our Calamity Church, can we discuss our cooperation? Hehe, the Church of Light has already dispatched a small group of Temple Knights. Their goal should be to deal with you. Although there aren't many Temple Knights, they are all true experts. This is the Church of Light's sharp sword for eradicating heresy. They are on their way to Brettel City and are waiting for you.
Even if you didn't come to the Valley of Sunshine this time, our people would've notified you when you arrived at Brettel City. I didn't think I'd be able to meet you here, so I'll tell you in advance. Let's see if there's any possibility of us cooperating! "Edwin was very sincere, telling Han Shuo such an important piece of news first.
Han Shuo couldn't help but frown when he heard Edwin's words. The headquarters of the Church of God Of Light was located in the most powerful Oden Empire on the Profound Continent. There was also the Angela Empire between the Oden Empire and the Lancelot Empire. The Temple Knights had always protected the Church of God Of Light. For them to dispatch a small group of Temple Knights just for Han Shuo, it seemed that the Church of Light had truly made up its mind.
"I won't be cooperating with you for the time being, but I might contact you if I need anything!" Han Shuo thought for a moment and said to Edwin.
Edwin immediately chuckled when he heard Han Shuo's words, "Our Calamity Church and the Church of Light are mortal enemies on the Profound Continent. The enemies of the Church of Light are our friends. Alright then, our Calamity Church might appear by your side when you run into trouble. We'll meet again then! "
Edwin and Belinda didn't linger after saying this. They looked at each other and cautiously left Han Shuo's roof, quickly disappearing from sight.
Han Shuo immediately moved after Edwin and Belinda left. He released all three of his yin demons and had them follow behind Edwin and Belinda. He wanted to see why the two were staying in the Valley of Sunshine.
Edwin and Belinda were extremely careful and made many turns along the way, on guard against enemies following them. However, their figures still couldn't hide under the surveillance of the three yin demons.
In the end, Edwin and Belinda actually entered the headquarters of the Cairo mercenary band together. Because they were tailing them in secret this time, Han Shuo didn't openly enter the Cairo mercenary band. Instead, he hid in a place not far from Tanai and used the three yin demons to spy on Edwin's movements.
Han Shuo had actually guessed that Edwin had hooked up with Laureton when Edwin and Belinda had snuck up on him. Otherwise, Edwin and Belinda wouldn't have been able to find him so quickly after Han Shuo had returned to the Valley of Sunshine for only a few hours. The Valley of Sunshine was the Cairo mercenary band's sphere of influence, and the Calamity Church's eyes weren't that wide.
"Mister Edwin, you went to see Brian?" Laureton immediately asked when Edwin arrived.
Nodding, Edwin thanked him with a smile, "Thank you for informing me, I just saw Brian. Oh right, how are the preparations coming along? The three hundred Death Guards of the Calamity Church will arrive in the Valley of Sunshine in the next two days. Anyone can get the mithril mine, but we can't let the Church of Light take it. Otherwise, if they make mithril armor out of it and equip the Templars, it'll bring us great trouble in the future! "
Laureton's expression was cold as he said in a sinister voice, "Don't worry, as soon as your Death Guards arrive, I'll immediately mobilize the Cairo mercenary band and flatten the powers around the mithril mine. Humph, I almost died there last time. I won't be so careless this time. The three great powers will pay with blood this time! "
"Heh heh, that's for the best. If the Church of Light wants the mithril mine, then we'll make them pay with their lives! "Edwin had a sinister smile on his face as he discussed the details of the operation with Laureton.
Han Shuo listened for a while and memorized all the contents of their conversation. When Edwin and Belinda were about to leave, Han Shuo took the lead and silently left the Cairo mercenary band.
After leaving the Cairo mercenary band, Han Shuo immediately left the Valley of Sunshine and returned to the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. He once again inquired about Trunks and the others' movements. From Grant, Han Shuo learned that Trunks and Gilbert would need some time before they could return.
Han Shuo didn't stay in the Soul Destroyer mercenary band. He immediately flew back to the cemetery of death and returned to the secret room in his mansion. Not long after he walked out of the secret room, steward Kallas respectfully said to Han Shuo, "My Lord Count, there's a young lady called Fanny who wishes to see you. She says that as long as you mention her name, you'll definitely see her! "
Han Shuo blanked and suddenly remembered his promise to Fanny. When he'd left last time, Han Shuo had said that he'd look for her within a few days. Who knew that he'd become so busy that he'd forgotten about this. Now, Fanny had actually come looking for him.
"She's there, take me to her!" Now that Han Shuo had his own mansion, if Fanny and Phoebe frequently came looking for him, the relationship between Han Shuo and them would be exposed sooner or later. Just thinking about this gave Han Shuo a headache.
Seeing him so anxious, steward Kallas was somewhat astonished. He immediately said respectfully, "My Lord Count, please come with me!"
After a while, Kallas brought Han Shuo to the room where Fanny was. He pointed inside and said, "Miss Fanny is inside."
"Mm, you can leave first. Don't let anyone come in!" Han Shuo instructed.
After Kallas left, Han Shuo braced himself and walked in. With a glance, he saw Fanny sitting in the center. This time, Fanny wasn't wearing a magic robe. Instead, she'd changed into a navy blue dress. When she saw Han Shuo walk in, she immediately snorted coldly and looked at Han Shuo with cold eyes, "My Lord Count, you finally have the time to come see us commoners?"
"I'm sorry. Because of some matters, I was a bit late. It won't be like this in the future. Fanny, you must forgive me. " Han Shuo smiled wryly. Apologizing as soon as he'd walked in meant that he was in the wrong. It was only natural that Fanny would be so angry.
"This isn't the first time. It seems that you've never fulfilled your promises!" Fanny's face was still expressionless as she looked coldly at Han Shuo.
Smiling wryly at Fanny, Han Shuo raised his hand and said, "I was wrong. You can punish me however you want!"
"Alright then, I'll forgive you as long as you promise me that you'll be an honorary teacher of the necromancy major." Fanny thought for a moment and glared fiercely at Han Shuo before speaking.
Being an honorary teacher of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force was only a title in name and didn't need to be bound by the rules of the Academy. They might only occasionally give a few lectures and answer questions when invited by the Academy. The various majors of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force competed with each other. Being able to find a few famed experts within the Empire to be an honorary teacher was a measure of the strength of each major.
"No problem!" Han Shuo readily agreed.
"You bastard, how could you kill that evil person Leah Cain? How did you become an archmage necromancer? Just how many other things have you lied to me about?" Fanny was delighted when she saw Han Shuo agree, but then a series of questions erupted.
