Chapter 92: Knocking on the Mountain and Shocking the Tiger
But Li Ke's holy light was powerless against the woman in front of him.
After his holy light entered the woman's body, he felt that the woman's life energy was so empty that every part of her body seemed to need treatment.
And all he can do is to maintain this woman's heartbeat and breathing.
Unless he is willing to expose his evil power, completely instill his evil power into this woman's body, and then use up his holy light to help her eliminate the influence of the evil power, only then can she survive.
Otherwise, even if it were him, he would just be letting this woman's body hold on for a few more days.
The person Anantia chose was actually about to die. He tried his best to use the Holy Light, but her injuries were too serious.
So after Li Ke used holy light to temporarily stabilize the woman's condition, he shook his head at Pastor Kyle who looked expectant.
"Sorry, Pastor Kyle, there's not much I can do."
Pastor Kyle looked at the fine sweat on Li Ke's forehead and sighed helplessly.
"I understand that Yuan Shengguang pities this lady's soul."
He could see that Li Ke was really working hard, but in this case, there was nothing he could do.
He reached out and took the woman's dirty, herpes-covered hand.
"Ma'am, do you have anything else to say?"
He began to function as his own pastor.
"Revenge...Pastor...I just want to find someone...justice."
The woman just said a few words and couldn't help but gasp. After the excitement of escaping, her will relaxed and her desire to survive also decreased.
"I will, you can rest first..."
Li Ke nodded. At this time, the woman who escaped with this woman also came over, holding a bucket of hot water in her hand.
So he glanced at Pastor Kyle, and the two walked out in tacit agreement.
Looking at Li Ke's face, Pastor Kyle thought of something, so he followed Li Ke to a secret room in the church before stopping.
"I'm not going to get justice for her right now."
Li Ke opened the door and said it straight to the point.
"Why?"
Pastor Kyle asked subconsciously, but the next moment, his face darkened, and he instantly understood why.
"Is it because they are too powerful?"
"That's right."
Li Ke nodded.
"But there is no Ms. Jennifer..."
"We haven't recovered all the knights and soldiers yet. In fact, I'm not sure how many people here can be trusted."
Li Ke sighed.
The tax collectors and soldiers in the towns can still be trusted, but not many can be trusted, so Li Ke did not say who the bandits would be.
But now it’s so exciting…
The bandits in his plan should have appeared, right?
"So we need someone's help."
Li Ke looked at Pastor Kyle. His words made this man who believed in the Holy Light open his eyes again, and he looked at Li Ke in surprise.
"who?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Arthas, he will bring his own knights to hunt nearby and meet with His Highness Jaina, so we must rely on their power. Otherwise, Jennifer and I will not be able to do it.
Arrived."
Kyle opened his mouth wide, then nodded heavily.
He felt that he should be caught in a plan, but looking at the holy light on Li Ke, he still said nothing.
Because he believed that Li Ke, a person with such holy light, would not be an evil person.
"I understand, I will appease them and wait for the time you mentioned, just..."
"I will warn them, at least for now, I must give them the impression that I am with them."
Li Ke said it quickly, and Pastor Kyle nodded.
"I see."
"Then I'll leave first. You can settle these ladies first and let me know if anything happens."
"clear."
After making sure that Pastor Kyle understood, Li Ke walked to his town hall without saying a word and sent the town's tax collector to protect Pastor Kyle.
As he expected, not long after he arrived at the town hall, people from the three major families arrived.
Seeing their ugly faces, Li Ke's expression also became quite ugly.
"I trust you so much and believe that we can have a good future together. But you are just... too careless."
Li Ke's words made people who were originally worried and even thought of killing Li Ke stunned.
Especially those from the tailor family, who looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
"what do you mean……"
"Kyle will shut up, and that's the end of the church thing, but you also have to be careful!"
There was a chill in Li Ke's voice, and he banged the table with his sword.
"Her Highness Jaina is at the manor! Do you plan to let Prince Arthas know about this? Don't you understand what the future holds for Her Highness Jaina?! If they find out about the trouble you have caused, I will be in trouble.
It’s not good, but you will be hanged! At that time, it won’t be me who will help you cover it up! It will be the army of the kingdom!”
There was anger in his tone, which immediately made the heads of the three families nod.
Looking at Li Ke who was wearing armor, they glanced at each other. Finally, the head of the tailor's family came out and looked at Li Ke flatteringly.
"You actually don't need to worry so much. We are fully prepared. Of course, you also have to show some sincerity."
The tailor patriarch's smile was very treacherous, and even had a greasy feel to it, which made it look so scary even though it was a pretty face.
"oh?"
"For example, the matter of bandits."
Li Ke narrowed his eyes. He knew that the news would be leaked, but he already knew this because he wanted to know who was with them.
"It seems that you are very well-informed."
The person who answered Li Ke was the clan leader of the carpenter.
"Of course...after all, everyone is in it for money, right? We can't hurt the harmony, right?"
Li Ke sighed helplessly in his heart and understood who it was.
Tax collector.
"Damn... the tax officials are all colluding. This territory is really bad, but there are so many talents... If it hadn't happened to be on the only way to Rivendell and Lordaeron, it would never have been so prosperous.
"
No, the old lord probably doesn't care, or in other words, the more such scapegoats in his territory, the better. As long as it looks reasonable on the surface, then the more sins there are, the more scapegoats he will have.
Or maybe the three major families themselves had to answer to him, but they just didn't tell Jennifer.
Damn, the Middle Ages.
It looks like I have to look through the ledger again when I go back...
Li Ke became increasingly speechless.
"You don't look very wealthy, do you?"
The patriarch of the stonemason came over, and he... no, his eyes were shining with the light of money.
