Chapter 113 Oolong
Chapter 113 Oolong
Anderson fell heavily to the ground, his life force completely exhausted, and he would die soon.
Anderson was born into nobility, and his privileged upbringing made him arrogant and domineering, often bullying nobles who were not as well off as him.
As the saying goes, there is no evergreen tree. When he was 10 years old, his family fell into decline, and the nobles who had been bullied by him began to take revenge. They sent people to kidnap him and subjected him to cruel torture.
When he was tormented to the point of desiring death, the saint appeared, like a ray of light that dispelled all the gloom.
After being rescued by the saintess, he awakened powerful skills through the idol. He joined the church and cleared all obstacles for it. Later, the saintess gave him the sacred artifact.
He loved the sacred artifacts very much because they could make others feel his pain. He had killed too many people in his life, and he never cared whether they were good or bad, as long as it was the saintess's order.
Anderson's mind kept replaying past images. The last image in his mind was not the saint's figure, but a scene of him having dinner with his parents when he was a child, and the smile on his face at that time was so dazzling.
Tears welled in Anderson's eyes, and his charred lips trembled slightly as he smiled.
'Oh, I see!'
At the end of his life, he realized that what he wanted most was not the saint's approval, but the smile of his family.
Thus, the first archbishop of the church, Anderson, died.
Diana used her detection skill and discovered that apart from her own black dot, there was no other life around.
Diana flicked her finger in mid-air, and another dagger that Anderson was holding shot out and floated in front of her.
Initiate identification:
Sacred Relic: True Twin Blades
Strength: Indestructible
Characteristics: Ignores all defenses, deals percentage-based true damage; the more pain the user endures, the higher the damage dealt; attacks are infused with the pain the user has endured!
Diana was initially angry about being beaten up for no reason, but when she saw that the weapon was a holy relic, she instantly changed her mind.
"I never expected this weapon to deal percentage-based true damage! It's definitely an essential artifact for taking down tanks!"
Diana suddenly became curious about the level of the weapon the Sword Saint had given her.
Looking at the longsword in his hand, he activated the appraisal function, but a cross appeared in front of him, indicating that it could not be appraised!
Diana was somewhat puzzled, after all, her appraisal level was already at the maximum. She looked at the ancient longsword in her hand, but there was nothing special about it, so she put away all her weapons.
"Forget it, I'm not thinking about it anymore, I'm going back!"
Diana changed her clothes and then vanished from the spot. The wilderness immediately fell silent, leaving only a mess and a charred corpse.
Diana returned to her original street.
Before the panicked crowd had gone far, seeing Diana return unharmed, those who had witnessed the whole thing began to doubt whether what they had just seen was real!
One of the loudest shouters rubbed his eyes.
"Wait a minute! I clearly saw the city lord being pierced through by the twin swords!"
One of his companions patted him on the head.
"Are you blind?! The city lord is perfectly fine! What are you yelling about? Making such a fuss!"
The man watched Diana walk away and scratched his head vigorously.
The minor incident has passed, but a few people are destined to have trouble sleeping tonight.
Diana continued her carefree shopping spree, oblivious to who the assassin was and who sent him. She only considered it for a few seconds before quickly forgetting it. Was anything more important than continuing to enjoy her delicious food? Obviously not.
As darkness approached, Diana returned to the manor. As soon as she entered, she spotted a figure crouching furtively on the manor's wall, its black tail raised and swaying slowly in the distance.
Diana knew without a doubt that it was Lilia. She jumped onto the wall, crept over quietly, and patted Lilia on the back.
"What are you doing!"
Lilia was so startled that her tail bristled. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Diana, put her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, and then whispered:
"Sir! Keep your voice down! I've discovered a secret!"
Diana was very curious, so she leaned closer and whispered:
"What secret? Tell me now!"
Lilia looked around and, finding no one, whispered in Diana's ear.
"Let me tell you, sir! Something flies into the manor every evening!"
Diana swallowed hard and urged:
"What flew into the manor? Tell me!"
"White pigeons have flown in, and I've caught more than ten of them. They're so delicious!"
Lilia was still talking to herself.
"The strange thing is, it suddenly disappeared these past two days?"
Diana looked at her with disdain. She had thought something strange had entered the manor, but it turned out to be just some white doves. Although they were a bit odd, they were nothing serious.
Diana jumped off the wall; she still had some blood on her body and needed to wash herself.
"I'm going to take a shower. You can keep catching your pigeons!"
Lilia's ears twitched, and she jumped down too.
"Sir! Wait for me, I'll scrub your back!"
Diana quickened her pace noticeably.
······
On the main road from the capital to Oliver, several carriages were traveling, and the sound of arguing came from the carriage at the front.
"Adolf! You old scoundrel, didn't you swear that Anna would come to pick you up?"
"We've been waiting at the academy for a week! Why is there still no sign of anything!"
Felix said angrily.
"That's right! Adolf, can't you be a little more reliable? Do you know that Anna could be in danger at any moment!"
"The Archbishop of the Church has already gone to assassinate Anna! He has never failed in his assassinations!"
Adolf was also completely baffled.
"That can't be! I released more than ten white doves! More than ten!"
"They are all professionally trained! It's impossible for them to get lost!"
"Even if we encounter danger along the way, we can still catch a few out of a dozen!"
Adolf frowned, then suddenly realized something.
"It must be the church! They must have discovered our plan to support Anna! They specifically sent people to intercept the white doves!"
After hearing Adolf's reasoning, the academicians' expressions also became serious. This was the only possibility; otherwise, there was no way to explain why more than a dozen messenger pigeons failed to arrive.
Felix said slowly:
"It seems this journey is destined to be fraught with danger! Let's all be prepared for battle at any moment!"
The group nodded solemnly. Since the church had intercepted the carrier pigeons, they would naturally send people to intercept them as well.
