Three days had passed, and the relationship between Han Jin and Sunier was gradually improving. Although the improvement was not great, at least Sunier was not as cold as before. In public, Sunier could also chat with Han Jin. On the one hand, it was because Morrisons and the others were always trying to get close to her. On the other hand, after a few days of thinking, she had seen through herself. Could she really forget the past? She couldn't! Sunier was deeply concerned about that man. Sometimes she would hide away from him on purpose, but she couldn't help but pay attention to him. She even pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on his conversations with others. That experience had moved her, made her laugh, and made her satisfied. Two and a half years was nothing for an elf with a long life, but it was unforgettable and unforgettable for Sunier.
From a protector to a protected one, from a stranger to a friend, and finally to a lover. This kind of natural change was hard to replicate. Sunier knew that perhaps in her life, she would never be able to completely open her heart like this again.
She knew that she couldn't forget, but she didn't want to accept this result. Therefore, her behavior was very contradictory. Sometimes, she would forget to be vigilant and unconsciously immerse herself in the harmonious atmosphere, chatting and laughing with Han Jin, Morrisons, and the others. When she woke up, she would immediately put on a cold attitude, rejecting the intimacy of others.
However, Han Jin was very patient. He didn't care about Sunier's attitude at all. He didn't care about honor or disgrace. There was a saying in another world, "A strong woman is afraid of a persistent man." Not only men could be refined by Circling Finger, but also women. As for his face, Han Jin had never taken it seriously. Usually, only those who had no face would try their best to defend themselves. They wouldn't allow anyone to offend them. As a Lord, Han Jin's strength was unfathomable. No matter in the Holy Crown City or in the elves' camp, almost everyone was respectful to him. Sunier's tough attitude was a novelty to him.
However, even when she was at her lowest, Sunier still held the bottom line. She wouldn't board the God of War because she knew that Yalina was on the ship. Just like how Yalina didn't dare to come to the elven camp, she didn't want to see her either.
Han Jin could understand. Sunier's reaction was normal. If Sunier could talk and laugh with him without any scruples, or even board the God of War to see Yalina, that would be really bad.
On this day, everyone gathered on the God of War, including Gao Bin. Ever since he came here as a guest, Gao Bin had also fallen in love with the God of War. He couldn't tell the specific reason, it was just a feeling. Han Jin had successfully set up the Spirit Gathering Array. It absorbed and accumulated the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. This was the most basic function of the Spirit Gathering Array. Guevara and the others had lived on the God of War for a long time, so they didn't feel it so obviously. However, when Gao Bin boarded the God of War for the first time, he immediately felt the difference. He felt very comfortable here.
In the distance, a dozen Knights and a team of elves riding on silver pegasi galloped over. Dominique, who was standing at the side of the ship, was the first to notice the situation. She narrowed her eyes and observed for a moment, then turned back and said, "General Lang Ning is here."
"Lang Ning? Why is he here? "Morrisons was stunned. He then stood up and walked to Dominique's side, looking into the distance. Most of the time, Morrisons refused to get close to Dominique. He was tall and burly, and in his own words, he was a real man. However, standing next to Dominique, he became a child, especially when looking at his back. However, these few days were a little special. He was not in the mood to practice his swordsmanship. According to Morrisons's own analysis, he might be about to break through the bottleneck … The problem was, he knew that he should work harder to break through the bottleneck, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
Hearing that Lang Ning was here, Sassoux and Léger also stood up and stopped bothering Loraine for the time being. There were two more girls on the ship. Logically speaking, Sassoux and Léger, who were single, should divide the girls equally. Each of them had their own target and then pursue it. Unfortunately, not everything could be done in the same way. Both of them had feelings for Loraine, and because of Loraine's identity, they didn't dare to show it openly. However, there was a lot of competition between them. Morrisons was the most excited. He could finally say goodbye to the old society. No matter who he didn't like, he could contact them and beat them up.
It wasn't that Lesley wasn't good. Although she was from a noble family, the two girls didn't put on airs. However, their temperaments were very different. Loraine was like a little sister next door, while Lesley had a straightforward and generous personality. For these two young men, the former was more attractive.
The sad thing was that Loraine and Lesley were Yalina's best friends. When they heard about the story between Yalina and Han Jin, they were moved by it. They unconsciously set a very high "attraction point" for themselves. If they weren't a prince-type hero, it would be very difficult for them to be interested. Using Han Jin as a yardstick to measure, it was a tragedy for Sassoux and Léger.
Soon, Lang Ning arrived at the bottom of the God of War. He jumped off his horse and climbed up the suspension ladder.
"Lang Ning, what happened?" someone from Morrisons University shouted.
Lang Ning jumped onto the deck and looked at Morrisons with a meaningful gaze. He smiled but didn't say anything.
"What are you laughing at?" Morrisons was confused.
"I'll tell you later." Lang Ning glanced around and found that there was an unfamiliar elf on the ship. He couldn't help but be surprised.
"Lang Ning, let me introduce you." Guevara said, "This is Gao Bin. Gao Bin, this is the army commander of Riptide, Lang Ning."
"Hello." Gao Bin nodded.
"Nice to meet you." Ronning bowed slightly to show his respect.
At this time, Han Jin also received the report and walked up from the deck. "Lang Ning, what happened? How did you get here? "
"Of course I came from the Beitman. I can't fly," Lang Ning said.
"Beitman? The orcs didn't give you any trouble? "
"No, I'm from the Holy Crown City. How dare they?" Lang Ning laughed. "On the contrary, they treated me very well. When I passed by Beitman City, Lionel came out in person."
When Gao Bin was hesitating whether he should leave or not, Han Jin asked again, "What happened in the Holy Crown City?"
Lang Ning was very smart. He had deliberately avoided the question just now, and he believed that Han Jin also understood. If he asked him again, it meant that he didn't need to worry about the unfamiliar elf. So he answered frankly, "Something happened."
"Good or bad?" Morrisons interrupted.
"It's both a good thing and a bad thing." Lang Ning said slowly, "Sir, I saw Miss Qi Li, Miss Sylvia, and little Joseph. But we didn't find them. They came back by themselves."
"Sylvia came?" Léger glanced at Morrisons with a wicked smile, "That's good!"
"They were chased by a mercenary group on the road. Fortunately, they were saved by the Vatican at the critical moment." Lang Ning said, "The Vatican sent them to the Holy Crown City. But after they parted, they were attacked again. Miss Sylvia and little Joseph were both seriously injured, but Miss Qi Li was fine. It seems that the attackers didn't care about the lives of the others. They just wanted to take Miss Qi Li away."
"What? Sylvia was injured?! "Morrisons University was shocked.
In fact, Morrisons was ridiculous at the moment. He always denied the relationship between him and Sylvia, saying that a hero like him would never marry a savage girl. His inconsistent attitude should have made Sassoux and Léger laugh secretly. But now, no one could laugh.
"Yes." Lang Ning nodded, "Fortunately, the Cardinal Haisch received the urgent notice from the Vatican and hurried to the Vatican. He happened to see the attack and scared the attackers away. He also released the healing magic in time to cure Sylvia and little Joseph. Otherwise, we may never see them again."
"Damn it! Who did it?! "Morrisons roared.
"We haven't found out yet." Lang Ning paused and smiled bitterly, "My Lord, it turns out that we have occupied the Holy Crown City for too short a time. We are not perfect in all aspects and left too many loopholes. If such an attack happened in any other city, the attackers would never be able to escape. Besides, the Vatican was also attacked a few days ago … My Lord, we have heard the alarm bell twice!"
Gibran's face was a bit red. In fact, the security team in the Holy Crown City was just a decoration. They could take care of ordinary civilians, but it was impossible for them to respond to such an attack in time. Han Jin wanted to establish an organization similar to the Purple Flower. Gibran, Chipango and Hallister were the main leaders. They had to take responsibility for this. What's more, Chipango and Hallister were still busy in the Holy Crown City. And Gibran, because he wanted to see Julia, left everything else and came here to have fun.
"Is there anything else?" Han Jin asked in a low voice. He knew that although Qi Li and Sylvia were their friends, this shouldn't be the reason why Lang Ning passed through the Beitman and came here in person to deliver the message.
"The first person who saved Qi Li and Sylvia was called Adolf. His position in the Vatican …"
"What did you say his name was?!" Han Jin showed a shocked look.
"His name is Adolf. My Lord, what's wrong?" Lang Ning was stunned.
There was no sound in the room. All eyes were focused on Han Jin. No one knew when Han Jin had become unfathomable. No matter what kind of crisis he was facing, they couldn't find a trace of panic on Han Jin's face. Of course, this kind of leisurely and calm temperament gave people a sense of security. But at this moment, just a name was enough to make Han Jin lose his composure. Even a fool could understand that this Adolf was definitely not simple!
"Raphael, who is Adolf?" Guevara asked in a serious tone.
"An ascetic of the Vatican. His strength … should be above that of the Pope." Han Jin said slowly.
"You mean the Pope who died in the Never-Setting Sun Mountains?"
"Including him, the previous Pope, and the one before that." Han Jin's voice was a bit low. He believed in Solomon's judgment and wanted to get rid of this disaster before Adolf arrived at the Vatican. But the problem was that the Holy Crown City was just a newly rising power group and was still immature in all aspects. If Solomon asked him to get rid of a strong man who had a fixed residence, he would have tried to do it long ago. Because he had strong Taoist skills, he was not afraid of anything. But it was too difficult to find a lone ascetic, at least for the Holy Crown City. Even Solomon couldn't figure out Adolf's whereabouts, let alone Han Jin.
"Where did you know there was such a person in the Vatican?!" Guevara was shocked.
"It was Grand Duke Solomon who told me."
"Not simple … not simple …" Guevara muttered to himself. No one knew whether he was talking about Adolf or Solomon. In fact, Adolf's strength was above that of the Pope. Of course, it was not simple. And Solomon knew the Vatican thousands of miles away like the back of his hand. He even knew Adolf's true strength. It was not simple either.
There was silence in the field. Lang Ning was stunned for a long time and sighed. "No wonder …"
"No wonder what?" Dominique interrupted. She was also curious about this matter.
"After Adolf arrived at the Vatican, the Vatican held a grand celebration. Then the Vatican's attitude became tougher."
"How tough can they be?" Han Jin said coldly.
"The Vatican arrested Hallister." Ronning's face was full of helplessness. Han Jin had almost taken everyone away. With just him and Alexandre, there was no way they could stop the Holy See. They could only watch helplessly.
Lang Ning's news stunned everyone. "They arrested Hallister? Why?! "Hogan screamed.
The young people did not understand the political implications. Hogan understood it, and of course, Guevara understood it even more. But he could not easily express his opinion. Han Jin's face had become as cold as an iceberg.
"The Vatican said that Hallister invited sorcerers to the banquet, which almost destroyed the defense system of the Holy Crown City. That was why the dragons could easily break in," Lang Ning said, "They said that Hallister must be an accomplice. Otherwise, it would not be so coincidental."
"Even if Hallister is really guilty, we should be the ones to investigate. Why?!" Hogan became even more exasperated.
Han Jin slowly walked to the side of the ship and looked at the horizon. After a moment, he let out a long sigh. Solomon had once again proven that Solomon was right. Solomon had understood that Han Jin truly wanted to cooperate with Jeddes, so he had warned him in advance that he must eliminate Adolf first. Otherwise, Adolf would bring them great trouble. Now, it seemed that Solomon was right!
What should he do?!
In front of Chazeaux, Chazeaux was a very smart and far-sighted young lord. He was just a little arrogant. This role in itself forced Chazeaux to make a choice, which was to cooperate with Han Jin wholeheartedly until the final goal was achieved and Han Jin was completely useless. Only then would he consider other options. Because Han Jin was smart and far-sighted, any form of deception was dangerous. The slightest carelessness could push Han Jin to Dragon City. Chazeaux's personality tended to be conservative. He could cooperate with Chazeaux happily, but with another guardian, Harriet, they almost fell out. This proved that Chazeaux had made a lot of reasonable concessions. Therefore, during the cooperation period, he could trust Chazeaux. Chazeaux would never take risks for no reason.
In front of Dragon City, Han Jin became a villain who was eager for quick success. Because the value of Dragon City's promise was far greater than Chazeaux's Star Gold, he immediately joined Dragon City and turned to plot against the Dragon Realm. However, villains also had their own principles. In the face of Forza's threat, Han Jin fought to the end and covered Xavier's escape. His eagerness for quick success provided Dragon City with a means of control. His steadfastness won Dragon City's trust. His miraculous magic gave Dragon City hope. In this way, the two sides had a sufficient foundation for cooperation. Dragon City urgently needed to find a person who could compete with Nicholas. Originally, they had taken a fancy to the elves, but now they should be very disappointed with the elves. Forza's sudden betrayal put the elves in a desperate situation. How could they fight against Nicholas, who had so many strong subordinates? The elves couldn't do it, but Han Jin could! In the Great Gravity Enchantment, Han Jin could still fight with the completely crazy Forza. Although it couldn't last long, how old was Han Jin now? What about in ten years?! There were many things that he didn't need to express clearly. The dragons of Dragon City were not fools. They could judge for themselves.
These two roles were relatively successful. Now, what kind of person should he play to force Adolf to bow down? The possibility of getting rid of Adolf was very small. Plot against him? There were only two people who were suitable to take action. One was himself, and the other was Majordomo Gail. But no matter who it was, they had to go all out when attacking Adolf. Hiding their strength when dealing with such an unpredictable strong person was simply courting death! And going all out naturally meant that he couldn't hide his identity. Once he failed, he would be completely separated from the Vatican, which would be extremely unfavorable for his future. Besides, he didn't want to lose Jeddes as a friend. In his heart, he appreciated and admired Jeddes very much. He really didn't want to turn a powerful helper into an enemy.
"Lang Ning, what did Jeddes say?" Guevara asked slowly.
"I contacted Jeddes before I came here." Lang Ning replied, "When Adolf proposed to arrest Hallister, four people in the Vatican clearly objected: Jeddes, Adonis, Amijay, and Cardinal Heisze."
"Adonis also objected?" Guevara didn't believe it. In his impression, Adonis was a fanatical old believer. His attitude should have been very fierce.
"Yes, and his attitude was very firm. He said that Hallister was a trusted follower of His Excellency. Even if he wanted to do something, he had to wait until His Excellency came back. He couldn't act on his own. After all, the Holy Crown City wasn't their territory. In the end, he even had a dispute with Adolf."
"Then, who supported Adolf?"
"Saint Knight Aude and other cardinals all supported Adolf."
"Aude?" Gao Bin was stunned and murmured, "I should have heard this name somewhere … Oh, he seems to be Blanche's husband?!"
"Blanche's husband?" Guevara was also stunned. He certainly had a deep impression of Aude, but he didn't know who Blanche was. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen her at the banquet a few days ago.
