The continent was facing a world war, and there was a clear divide between the races on the surface and the abyssal races. Therefore, the appearance of the Golden Dragon Knight did not cause panic. However, because the square was full of celebrating people, the dragon could not descend. It could only send the Dragon Knight to a lower altitude. After the Golden Dragon Knight jumped down, it flew up again and circled around Esnorly City.
Han Jin, Majordomo Gail, and Adolf slowly stepped onto the square. The crowd parted like a tide. Wherever Han Jin and Majordomo Gail went, the crowd would immediately become quiet. Han Jin's eye-catching armor was easy to recognize, almost becoming his signature.
He raised his head and looked at the golden dragon soaring in the sky with a smile on his face. When he wanted to get more dragon crystals, he couldn't even see the shadow of a dragon, but the Abyssal Demon appeared. When he wanted to get more space magic crystals, the Abyssal Demon ran away, and the dragon came late. Could it be that the God of Fate liked to play this kind of little joke?
As soon as they walked up the steps of the city hall, Kemorazi hurried over. When he saw Han Jin, he heaved a sigh of relief and strode forward. He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, Nicholas of the Magnificent Light Empire has sent a messenger. You see …"
"I'm here for this matter," Han Jin said. "Let's go, let's go in."
When they were a dozen meters away from the conference room, they heard a low voice from inside. "Sir Honduras, I need a definite answer."
"As I said, I personally agree with your suggestion, but the decision is not in my hands." Honduras' voice was then heard.
"Are you kidding me?! This is a special time. Tell your damn councilors to go to hell. I don't have time to waste on them! "
"You misunderstood me. In fact, those councilors do not have the right to decide."
"What? You mean … "
Han Jin pushed the door open and walked in. The conversation in the conference room stopped abruptly. Honduras and the Dragon Knight's eyes fell on Han Jin, but the look in their eyes was different. The Dragon Knight's eyes were full of inquiry, while Honduras looked somewhat flustered.
Han Jin walked to the main seat and sat down. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Sir Honduras, do you personally agree with this Dragon Knight's suggestion? Can you tell me what it is? "
"Sir, this … This is just diplomatic rhetoric. It's not real," Honduras said awkwardly. When he learned that the other party was an emissary of the Grand Light Empire, Honduras was really excited. If he did it well, he could use Nicholas to restrain Han Jin, and use Han Jin to restrain Nicholas. Then, the Freedom Federation might be able to maintain the status quo. However, it was just an idea. When he saw Han Jin, his inspiration disappeared in an instant.
It was too terrible to challenge Han Jin's patience. What's more, although Han Jin had only been in Esnorly City for a few days, he had already gained a great reputation. He was even regarded as a hero and a savior by the whole city. If they really fell out with each other, the nobles would definitely not be a match for the powerhouses of the Holy Crown City, and they would not even be able to control the hearts of the people.
Honduras only cared about pleasing Han Jin, but forgot about the Dragon Knight. Diplomatic rhetoric? Not real? Wasn't this a blatant tease?!
The Dragon Knight frowned and said nothing. After quietly observing Han Jin for a moment, he suddenly said, "So it's Sir Raphael, I've heard so much about you …"
"You know me?" Han Jin was too lazy to raise his head. He calmly played with the teacup on the table.
"When I came here, His Majesty told me that you are likely to appear in the Freedom Federation." The Dragon Knight smiled.
"Oh?"
"The army of the Abyss World is divided into three groups. The main force is attacking our Grand Light Empire. The Black Dragon King Valentine is in charge of Dragon City and Dragon Field. The last group is attacking the Freedom Federation. However, the area you are in has not been disturbed." The Dragon Knight continued, "His Majesty said that as a Demigod rank powerhouse, you definitely won't be willing to be lonely. However, you won't choose to go west. First, your army will have to pass through Grand Duke Solomon's Elemental Capital. No matter how good your relationship with Grand Duke Solomon is, doing so will definitely arouse the suspicion of many people. Second, your army has no justification. The army of the Abyss World hasn't attacked the Northwest region. Therefore, you only have one path left, which is to go south."
"Nicholas seems to understand me very well." Han Jin indifferently said.
"Of course." The Dragon Knight's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "You almost killed our Young Highness. How could His Majesty ignore your existence?"
Hearing these words, Honduras and Kemorazi's expressions became somewhat strange. The Grand Light Empire's Nicholas was a young ruler in his early thirties. How old could his child be? Why would Han Jin attack a child? Could it be … that he suffered a loss at Nicholas' hands and took his anger out on Nicholas' son?
Majordomo Gail and Adolf also looked at Han Jin with surprised eyes. They had never heard Han Jin mention this before.
Han Jin slowly raised his eyelids and looked at the Dragon Knight. They had just met and had barely exchanged a few words, but the Dragon Knight had already set a verbal trap for him. If he explained that he didn't want to hurt Tinos, and that it was Tinos who almost killed him, the result would be even more embarrassing. Attacking a child would at most give people the impression that he was cruel, but almost being killed by a child would make him an idiot.
This Dragon Knight had some skills. As the saying goes, "A single leaf is enough to tell the autumn of autumn." Even a small deputy guard captain could make him look at him in a different light. What about the other generals under Nicholas?
"It seems that Nicholas misunderstood my good intentions." Han Jin smiled, "To be honest, I wanted to save Nicholas so that he wouldn't make a stupid mistake."
"Save? Your way of saving is too special … "The Dragon Knight laughed loudly.
"If it weren't for Jedis asking me to stop Nicholas from starting the battle of The Rising Sun City, do you think I would be willing to go to that damned place?" Han Jin's expression remained unchanged, "Unfortunately, I was one step too late. Nicholas had already started the war, and the Church was destroyed by him! How about it? Facing the army of the Abyss World, does Nicholas regret it? "
Kemorazi and Honduras turned their eyes back to the Dragon Knight, and the Dragon Knight's expression changed slightly. He was silent for a long time and didn't speak. This problem concerned all the races on the ground. If the Church was still there, the chances of victory would be increased. He couldn't avoid the topic. If he said that he regretted it, he would undoubtedly admit that Nicholas was stupid. If he said that he didn't regret it, he would highlight Nicholas as a bad guy who didn't know how to apologize even though he had done something wrong.
"Who said that the Church was destroyed?" After a moment, the Dragon Knight slowly said, "We just washed away the dirt of the Church. Now, Archbishop Zachary has become the new Pope! But you, you allowed Jedis to set up a private Church in the Holy Crown City. What is your purpose? Are you trying to divide the Church? Lord Raphael, you … "
Before the Dragon Knight could finish his words, Adolf stepped in front of him and waved his arm like lightning.
The Dragon Knight's attention was all focused on Han Jin, so Adolf's sudden attack caught him off guard. He barely managed to dodge, but in the end, Adolf's hand slapped him heavily in the face.
With a crisp sound, the Dragon Knight's body involuntarily tilted to the side, but he immediately steadied himself. Following the bright glow of his fighting aura, the Dragon Knight had already drawn his long sword and was about to pounce on Adolf with a roar.
"Without my approval, he doesn't deserve to be the Pope!" Adolf said coldly, "Go back and tell that blasphemer Zachary that I must end his filthy life with my own hands, I must!"
The Dragon Knight seemed to have thought of something, and his body suddenly became stiff. He stared blankly at Adolf, speechless.
Ascetics even had the right to depose the Pope, so to speak carelessly and criticize the Church in front of Adolf was purely asking for humiliation. Not to mention a slap, even if he was killed, he deserved it.
"Let me introduce you." Han Jin smiled and said, "This is Mr. Adolf, the Ascetic of the Church. His responsibility is to supervise the operation of the Church and correct the mistakes made by the Church in time. If he doesn't recognize Zachary's identity, then … Zachary is really nothing, understand?"
The Dragon Knight took a deep breath, put his sword back into the scabbard, bent over to straighten the chair, and then slowly sat down. Looking at his posture, it seemed that he didn't want to lower himself to Adolf's level.
When making a decision, it was impossible to predict the impact of all the details. For example, in the case of Jeddis, Nicholas claimed that Jeddis was assassinated by Lola, and then he said that the Church was in cahoots with Lola. There were many contradictions. The two Archbishops of the Church, Jeddis and Zachary, did have a series of open and secret fights over the succession of the Pope. Since the Church and Lola conspired to kill Jeddis, Zachary must be one of the murderers. However, after Nicholas captured the Unsetting Sun Mountains, he supported Zachary to become the Pope, which was too puzzling. The most important thing was that Jeddis appeared in the Holy Crown City and reestablished the Church. Although Nicholas announced that the real Jeddis had died long ago, and that the Jeddis in the Holy Crown City was just a fake and the product of a conspiracy, he couldn't erase the doubts in the hearts of the generals. How could the fake Jeddis win the trust of the Light Knight and Priests?
Jeddis's way of doing things was consistent from beginning to end. What he gained in the Holy Crown City, he also gained in the Grand Light Empire. It could be said that except for the magicians led by Zenglin, the generals, soldiers, and civilians all liked Jeddis very much. Only Jeddis could reestablish the Church in such a short time. It was a natural influence. The fake Jeddis at most looked similar to Jeddis in appearance, but his ability was definitely far inferior. What's more, were all the Light Knight and Priests blind?
After telling a lie, it was necessary to cover it up with more lies. Fortunately, Nicholas was a monarch, so he didn't need to explain to anyone, and no one dared to question him. However, doubts were always buried in the bottom of his heart, and the appearance of Adolf completely exposed Nicholas. Even the ascetics of the Church were willing to work for Han Jin, so there was no need to doubt whether Jeddis was real or fake.
Kemoraz looked at Adolf in shock. Only now did he know that this incomparably old man not only had great power, but also unimaginable power. Dethroning the Pope?!
Although the Church's strength was getting weaker and weaker, and later suffered a devastating attack from Nicholas, for countless years, the Church had always held a supreme position in people's hearts, even above the monarch. Dethroning the Pope was far more shocking than dethroning the monarch.
Seeing that the Dragon Knight was willing to admit his loss, Han Jin smiled. Before he figured out Nicholas's intentions, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too stiff.
After a moment, the Dragon Knight suddenly turned his eyes to Honduras. "Lord Honduras, it is your honor that Lord Raphael can come to the Freedom Federation to help in the battle. You must treat Lord Raphael well!"
"Of course, of course …" Honduras was confused. Wasn't this nonsense? Not only did he have to treat him well, but he also had to give him the Freedom Federation. Wasn't that enough?
"Sir, do you know what Lord Raphael likes to eat the most?" The Dragon Knight smiled. However, Adolf's slap was very heavy, leaving a clear handprint on the Dragon Knight's cheek. This kind of smile was somewhat strange.
"What does he like to eat?" Honduras asked curiously.
"Lord Raphael likes to drink dragon's blood the most, haha."
"Dragon's blood …" Honduras was stunned.
"Is that thing delicious?" Majordomo Gail was somewhat surprised. "I've heard Yalina mention it before, but I really didn't know …"
"It doesn't have any taste." Han Jin smiled. "It's similar to pig's blood and chicken's blood."
"No way? You've drunk pig's blood and chicken's blood before?? "Majordomo Gail revealed a strange smile.
Han Jin originally wanted to fight back against this ugly act of exposing his shortcomings. Wasn't it said that a Dragon Knight and his mount lived and died together, sharing honor and disgrace? Therefore, he wanted to compare a dragon to a fowl, but he didn't expect to be dragged into it at the same time. Stunned, he glanced at Majordomo Gail unhappily.
"Have you tried dragon meat before? How does it taste? "Majordomo Gail asked again.
"It doesn't taste good." Han Jin shook his head and said, "The first time I killed a juvenile dragon, the taste was not bad. After that, I encountered adult dragons, the taste was very bad, rough and coarse. I spat it out after one bite. I probably wouldn't even feed it to a dog."
"Is that so …" Majordomo Gail sighed.
"What? Do you want to try it too? "
"Yes, I do want to."
"I advise you to give up. It really doesn't taste good."
Han Jin and Majordomo Gail were here talking about the taste and texture of dragon meat, but for the Dragon Knight Dick, it was no different from someone talking about how it felt to eat human meat in front of him. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't. His mission wasn't to come all the way here to expose Han Jin, there was a more important mission waiting for him to complete.
"Master Raphael, have you ever thought about what would happen if the dragons of Dragon City and Dragon Realm heard what you said?" The Dragon Knight said coldly.
"What would happen?" Han Jin laughed.
"They would go crazy!" The Dragon Knight's tone became very sharp, as if he was reminding Han Jin to think carefully about the consequences.
Han Jin and Majordomo Gail looked at each other without leaving a trace. Adolf's slap, plus the stimulation from the two of them, seemed to have caused the other party to lose his mind.
"You can go and tell them, I don't mind." Han Jin said lightly.
"Perhaps you still don't know? Master Raphael! Frost Dragon Anqielle has already woken up from her long slumber!! " The Dragon Knight stared at Han Jin without blinking, "Dragon City and Dragon Realm will soon unite. Do you really think … you can ignore the power of dragons?"
"Anqielle?" Majordomo Gail stared blankly for a moment, then slowly said, "She hasn't appeared on the continent for a long, long time."
"To be precise, after the fall of Golden Dragon King Mi Lu, the sad Anqielle left the Golden Dragon Clan and disappeared from people's sight." Seeing that Majordomo Gail was stunned, the Dragon Knight's eyes revealed a look of ridicule. He had finally turned the tables!
"I seem to have heard of this name from somewhere." Han Jin frowned, then remembered. It was Chazeaux. When he came to Dragon Realm as a guest, Chazeaux told him that another Guardian, Harriet, went to Lost Valley to look for Frost Dragon Anqielle.
The atmosphere was a little quiet, and even Adolf's expression became solemn. Clearly, he understood what Anqielle's return meant.
"I didn't come here with malice." The Dragon Knight didn't dare to take a mile after taking an inch and immediately changed the topic, "Master Raphael, if you don't blame me, I hope you can give me some time to tell you what His Majesty said."
"Go ahead," Han Jin said softly.
"His Majesty said that although we don't have the advantage in the current situation, now is our only chance to completely defeat Donald!" The Dragon Knight said, "Donald divided his army into three and looked aggressive, but in fact, he made the same mistake he made in the first world war! He is too impatient. Have you all thought about how you would deal with Donald if he united his army and slowly advanced? "
Han Jin smiled. He could understand the meaning of these words.
"We can't deal with it." The Dragon Knight explained himself, "His Majesty said that if the Grand Light Empire is attacked first, you won't come to his aid. Similarly, if you are attacked first, His Majesty won't come to your aid. The continent has been at war for hundreds of years and has become a pile of loose sand. It is impossible for us to unite! Donald chose to divide his army, which is actually the best for us. We don't need to unite, and we don't have the opportunity to kill each other. We only need to focus on resisting our enemies. "
"Nicholas didn't send you here to form an alliance with us?" Han Jin asked slowly.
"If we form an alliance, can you trust us?"
"No."
"If His Majesty can't trust us, then what's the point of forming an alliance?"
Han Jin sighed softly. He used to think that he only regarded Nicholas as an enemy, but after talking to Green, he understood that Nicholas had already locked onto him. Han Jin was Trilinda's posthumous son, and Nicholas must have regarded him as a treasure. Moreover, he had almost killed Tinos. This matter alone made him and Nicholas irreconcilable.
"Then why did he send you here?" Han Jin asked softly.
