"Who are you?" Burt Zili opened his mouth once again. Burt Zili's attention was unprecedentedly focused as he spoke. His pair of venomous eyes were focused on the shadows. His body was taut as he prepared himself — not to attack, but to escape at any time!
An expert who could easily freeze a high level magical creature in the air and infiltrate his secret chamber without him noticing was absolutely not someone he could deal with. The reason Burt Zili could survive so many years of battles until now was because of his precise judgment.
A tall silhouette suddenly floated out from the shadow where the voice came from. Amidst the lush green and hazy lamplight, the newcomer arrived below where the high-level magical beast was imprisoned. He looked somewhat astonished at the high-level magical beast that he had frozen in the void, and smilingly asked Burt Zili, "Did you summon this?"
Burt Zili vigilantly took another step back. He frowned as he sized up Han Shuo. It was unknown when an awl-like weapon appeared in his left hand. He gloomily said, "That's right. Who the hell are you? How did you get in here? What do you want? "
"Hehe, the Calamity Church is indeed a powerful organization full of talents. The strength of this otherworldly magical creature is extraordinary. For you to be able to summon it, it seems that you must have very high attainments in the art of summoning!" Han Shuo didn't mind Burt Zili's vigilance at all. He continued to speak smilingly.
"Who the hell are you?" Burt Zili questioned for the third time. Unable to guess the purpose of Han Shuo's visit, Burt Zili was constantly pondering how he could safely leave this secret chamber. His eyes flickered as he glanced back and forth at the few exits that would allow him to quickly leave this place.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean you any harm. My name is Brian. Perhaps you have heard some things about me from Wolf. The reason I came to find you this time is to inquire about some things from you," Han Shuo said with a smile that was neither too fast nor too slow.
"Brian? You are the City Lord of Brettel City, Brian? "Burt Zili suddenly exclaimed. He appeared to be very astonished.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo did not explain further. He took out the skeletal staff and waved it at Burt Zili from afar to prove his identity.
Burt Zili clearly heaved a sigh of relief. A cordial smile suddenly appeared on his sinister old face as he strode towards Han Shuo. He opened his mouth and said, "So you're one of us. Why didn't you say so earlier? You gave me a big fright!"
This Burt Zili had a disgusting odor on his body. He was brimming with enthusiasm as he walked towards Han Shuo. This made Han Shuo feel a little awkward. He couldn't help but take a few steps back. He smiled and said, "You'd better recall your monster first. If it takes too long, he will be trapped to death."
With a wave of his big hand, a strand of demonic light flew out from Han Shuo's palm. In the blink of an eye, it fell into the space where the high rank magical creature, Dejarka, was frozen in the air. After the strand of demonic light penetrated the body of the strange magical creature, Dejarka, it suddenly flew away at high speed once again.
"Come back!" Burt Zili hastily shouted. He spat out a long string of incantations in rapid succession.
The magical creature, Dejarka, who was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at Han Shuo, suddenly stopped its javelin-like sharp hand, as though it was being pulled by a bizarre force. It let out a shrill howl of unwillingness and returned to the rhombus pattern at the center of the altar at lightning speed, disappearing without a trace.
After recalling the high rank magical creature, Dejarka, Burt Zili looked at the altar that reeked of a fishy stench. He forced a smile and said, "This place is not suitable for us to talk. Come, let's go up there."
"That's fine!" Han Shuo agreed.
After a while, Han Shuo and Burt Zili of the Calamity Church arrived at a luxurious hall in the Duke's mansion. There weren't any extra guards in the surroundings. Burt Zili personally took out some fruits from the seven grand duchies and placed them in front of Han Shuo's table.
"Wolf and I have been friends for many years. I also learned about you through Wolf. Hehe, we are all on the same side. You don't have to be so courteous. If there's anything you need, just say the word. As long as I can help, I definitely won't refuse!" Burt Zili said to Han Shuo with a smile after serving some rare fruits to Han Shuo. His attitude was very friendly.
This time, Han Shuo's sudden appearance and the method he used to imprison the magical creature, Dejarka, had greatly shocked Burt Zili. Originally, he had only heard grand magus necromancer Wolf's description of Han Shuo's strength. At that time, Burt Zili thought that Wolf must have exaggerated. He believed that the young Han Shuo absolutely couldn't reach the heights that Wolf had described.
However, now that he had personally seen Han Shuo, Burt Zili realized that Wolf's description was indeed somewhat wrong. His description of Han Shuo's strength was simply too conservative. A person who could easily imprison the high rank magical creature, Dejarka, in midair, his strength was frighteningly far beyond that of a great swordmaster or grand magus.
It was precisely because of this that Burt Zili's attitude towards Han Shuo became very friendly. The smile on his face was even somewhat humble and fawning. If the other nobles of the Boulet Duchy were to see this, they would definitely not believe that the Burt Zili at this moment was their always sinister and terrifying grand duke.
Han Shuo leisurely and contentedly picked up a bunch of fruits and put them into his mouth. He appeared very calm and unruffled. After eating a few bunches of grape-like blue fruits, Han Shuo lightly coughed. He looked at Burt Zili, who was sitting upright and still, and said with a smile, "The reason I've come to find you this time is because I want to know the whereabouts of sacred knight Blount. Perhaps you know of the grudge between me and this person. I don't want this person to continue living."
Burt Zili's eyes lit up as he confidently said, "I just happen to know the whereabouts of sacred knight Blount. Currently, he is in the Brut Merchant Alliance dealing with some shameful matters of the Church of Light. His exact location should be in Tariq City of the Brut Merchant Alliance. Hmm, it seems that they are chasing after someone."
Han Shuo knew that the Calamity Church might be able to obtain news of sacred knight Blount, because only enemies would be most concerned about the whereabouts of a character like Blount. However, Han Shuo didn't expect that Burt Zili wouldn't inquire about Blount through the Calamity Church. It seemed that coming here this time was the right decision.
"Thank you very much. I think I know what to do now." Han Shuo stood up with a faint smile and slightly saluted Burt Zili. It seemed that he intended to leave this place immediately.
"Wait a moment!" Seeing that Han Shuo was about to leave without saying another word, Burt Zili hastily spoke. When Han Shuo looked at him in puzzlement, Burt Zili immediately said in a straightforward manner, "Our Duchy will be your friend. No matter when, our Duchy will always stand on the side of Brettel City."
"Thank you very much." Han Shuo replied. He didn't express any opinion on this matter and walked outside by himself. When he reached the entrance, Han Shuo suddenly remembered something. He stopped, turned around and said to Burt Zili, "Oh, right. Grand Duke Nehem Beige and Cardinal Katos of Bisli Duchy have been killed by me. You can take advantage of this opportunity to make your move on Bisli Duchy."
"Re, really? You killed Nehem Beige? "Burt Zili had a horrified look on his face as he shrieked at once.
Han Shuo nodded and didn't say anything else. His body disappeared into the darkness of the night. When Burt Zili wanted to ask for more details, he suddenly discovered that Han Shuo had already disappeared without a trace.
Burt Zili was pleasantly surprised and excited. He immediately began to gather all the nobles in the duchy and held a secret military conference in the middle of the night. They were going to make their move on Bisli Duchy that had lost its Grand Duke.
After Han Shuo left Burt Zili's Duke Mansion, he directly flew towards Brut Merchant Alliance. He fully deployed the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
The Brut Merchant Alliance and Brettel City were separated by seven grand duchies. Han Shuo flew at full speed, covering thousands of miles a day. It only took him less than half a day to arrive at Tariq City in the southwest of the Brut Merchant Alliance.
The Dark Mantle of Lancelot Empire could be found all over the various countries. There was also a Dark Mantle presence in Brut Merchant Alliance. After Han Shuo arrived at Tariq City in the southwest of Brut Merchant Alliance, he left a contact message for a Dark Mantle member at the center of the city. After waiting for half a day, a Dark Mantle member from Tariq City arrived.
At the center of the prosperous Tariq City, Han Shuo followed this Dark Mantle member all the way to the secret headquarters. After entering through the back door of a mansion, the Dark Mantle member, who hadn't looked back, stopped at the back door of the mansion. With a calm face, he said to Han Shuo, "Please show me your identity medallion!"
Han Shuo took out his identity medallion and flashed it in front of the member. When the Dark Mantle member saw the two suns symbol on Han Shuo's identity medallion, he was immediately startled. His attitude immediately became incomparably respectful as he asked, "Please forgive this lowly one's poor eyesight. May I know which Lord you are?"
"I come from Brettel City!" Han Shuo replied with a smile.
"You, you are Lord Brian?" The Dark Mantle member suddenly exclaimed softly. Then, he covered his mouth with one hand, for fear that his exclamation would startle someone. His eyes that looked at Han Shuo were filled with excitement and adoration.
Nodding his head, Han Shuo said, "Bring me in. I want to find the person in charge here!"
"Please come in, please come in. I will go inform His Lordship to come over!" The member hastily led Han Shuo inside.
"Eh, it's you. Why are you here?" Suddenly, Cecilia, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, cried out in surprise. She stood at the door of the inner room and looked at Han Shuo with a face full of disbelief.
