The old foreman's complexion changed quickly and returned to his original state almost instantly.

He Ao glanced at the old foreman. He was the only one among everyone present who saw the change in the old foreman's expression.

Now among the six people who have just come here, the young man is the mole, and the middle-aged woman has been controlled and has fainted.

Only the two brothers Ho and Ao, the old foreman, and the middle-aged man were left.

The old foreman put down his bracelet, looked at the crowd and said, "The combined forces of the mining consortium's mercenaries and the city defense army are coming this way. They will be able to reach the church in ten minutes at most."

"What?"

The one who reacted the most was the middle-aged man Watson. He looked at the old foreman and said, "Didn't we arrange secret sentries along the way? How come it's so fast?"

"Our 'eyes' have been bypassed."

The old foreman said softly.

"How do they know the position of our 'eyes'?" He suddenly came to his senses mid-sentence. He looked at the corpse on the ground and cursed fiercely, "Yaz is a traitor."

"Watson, now you go contact the small principals, summon everyone in the church, and go to the small pond in the innermost place."

The old foreman's tone was calm. Everyone present could panic, but he could not panic.

"good!"

Watson nodded heavily.

Although he originally wanted to follow the old foreman to see Iliaan, the matter was urgent at the moment and he couldn't take care of that much.

After arranging Watson, the old foreman looked at Ivo again, "Ivo, you and Watson are together."

"good!"

Ivo also nodded heavily, and then he subconsciously looked at He Ao.

"Nel will go with me to see the lady. I still need the lady's help this time."

The old foreman said slowly.

He didn't tell anyone else Iliaan's name, he just referred to her as 'that lady'.

Ivo looked at his younger brother and didn't know what to say for a moment. His younger brother was smarter than him and could fight better than him. He lightly patted his younger brother on the shoulder and whispered, "Be safe."

"Well," He Ao nodded slightly and said slowly, "Don't be too impulsive when things happen."

"Don't worry, I'm very cautious."

Ivo smiled.

He Ao raised his head and glanced at Ivo, wondering where he got his confidence.

······

The two brothers parted ways, and He Ao followed the old foreman and continued walking deeper into the church.

Iliaan's maid led the way from a distance without saying a word. During the incident of catching the mole just now, she also stood and watched from a distance without making any comments.

It's so quiet that it doesn't even look like a living person.

He Ao glanced at the maid's back, turned to look at the old foreman beside him, and asked slowly, "Are there B-level people among the people here?"

Relying on the strength that He Ao showed last night, no matter how many C-level people come, there is still a possibility of delivering food.

The mining consortium is coming fiercely, most likely because they have the power to suppress He Ao with confidence, and there is a high probability that he is a B-level.

"Amber, the leader of the mercenary group of the mining consortium, is a B-level transcendent,"

The old foreman answered quickly while walking quickly,

"This man himself is actually not a bad person. He often helps the poor, but his philosophy in life is to use money to do things. He takes the salary of the mining consortium and does things for the mining consortium.

"Before the contract expires, as long as the mining consortium does not harm him, he will not betray."

He Ao took a look at his pace and saw that the old foreman's chassis was very stable, not at all as old and weak as he appeared on the surface.

Underneath this rickety body may be compact and explosive muscles.

This may be one of the reasons why the old foreman dared to directly test Yaz, but he did not expect that Yaz had become a transcendent.

At Yaz's age, if he didn't have the guidance and guidance of a transcendent in the same path, he would be able to become a D-level transcendent, and his talent would already be considered astonishing.

He Ao didn't ask the old foreman about his hidden strength. Since the other party didn't take the initiative to tell him, there was no need to ask.

At this moment, they seemed to be almost at their destination. He continued to ask, "The mining consortium does not seem to have completely controlled the city defense army?"

"The city defense force in Rock City has two divisions, namely the 107th Division and the 108th Division. The mining consortium completely controls the 107th Division. They can easily mobilize the strength of the 107th Division. The 108th Division is not controlled by the mining consortium and only

It’s partially eroded.”

The old foreman replied.

He Ao: "Are there any powerful figures in the 108th Division who oppose the mining consortium?"

"The commander of the 108th Division is a Class B extraordinary person. He believes that the city defense army only needs to defend the city and cannot participate in the internal struggle of the city. The city defense army is the defender of the city, not the destroyer of the city,"

The old foreman thought for a moment and slowly narrated, "He believes that once the city defense army starts to intervene in the internal affairs of the city, it will be like opening Pandora's box, which will release unpredictable risks.

"However, although he does not like the mining consortium, the mayor and the majority of the council are members of the mining consortium. Our Rock City is on the northern border. The laws are different from other cities in the federation. The mayor has higher command authority and appointments over the military.

right.

"So the commander of the 108th Division could only suppress the internal affairs of the 108th Division and prevent them from participating in the affairs of the mining consortium. This formed a weak balance with the power of the mining consortium, maintaining the basic stability of the city defense army and preventing the city defense army from completely degenerating into

The thug of the consortium.

"Because he is the only B-class in the city defense army and is very strong, the mining consortium dare not touch him easily, so this fragile balance can barely be maintained."

"Here we are."

The cold voice of the maid came from the front.

This is a room deep in the church, with a small door, similar to the small chapel that Howe visited before.

The maid opened the door and revealed what was inside.

This is a room that looks like an ancient castle palace. It is cylindrical in shape, about ten meters high, and has a huge dome on top. The bright light shines through the lens glass of the dome, illuminating the entire palace as if it were outdoors.

And this palace-like room has almost no interior decoration, only densely packed bookshelves and books, one after another, close to each other, clinging to the wall, extending up to the top of the room, under the dome.

This is the first time that He Ao has seen these books, which are as numerous as the vast stars.

The stacks of these books made He Ao think for a moment that he had arrived at some secret ancient library.

If he hadn't seen the emblem of the seven-pointed star dedicated to the God of Knowledge in this palace, he would have even thought that Ilyan was a fanatical believer of his good friend.

He Ao turned on his super memory and glanced at it, memorizing the names of all the books in his heart.

It's a pity that the 'library' on this ground is full of normal books. Although there are also some rare books that are not in circulation that surprised He Ao, they do not contain as many secrets as the underground library.

At this moment, Iliaan is controlling a wheelchair and sitting in front of a certain bookshelf.

A book was placed on her wheelchair, and the wheelchair emitted a fast artificial intelligence voice that seemed to be reciting the contents of the book to her.

She heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps, and turned her head.

Some of the pale dome light hit her fair skin, forming a sharp contrast with the lace and black gauze that covered her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

She seemed to hear the rush of everyone's footsteps.

"Amber is coming with the mercenary group and the city defense army. They will arrive in a few minutes," the old foreman said quickly in an old voice, "There is a traitor among our people, so we took them to bypass the hidden sentries.

.”

"I see."

Iliaan closed the books on the wheelchair and put them back in the bookshelf.

Her electric wheelchair turned a corner and drove towards He Ao and the old foreman at the door.

"I will temporarily block them for you, and you can take the opportunity to move, but I won't delay for too long.

"So you may need to send some people or a strong person to attract attention and weaken the power of the city defense army and the mining consortium mercenary group, so that I can buy more time for you, but those who attract attention may

Died under the encirclement and suppression by the city defense army and the mercenary group of the mining consortium."

The old foreman nodded, and just as he was about to open his mouth, He Ao looked at Iliaan and said quickly, "I'll go, can you keep holding Ai Bo down so that he doesn't move?"

"Okay," Iliaan nodded slightly, "He won't act rashly while I'm here."

"good."

He Ao nodded, as long as the B-class was held back, he could still escape unscathed.

He was going to investigate some things on his own, and it was just a good reason to separate from the Miners' Mutual Aid Association.

The old foreman looked at He Ao. He Ao was not a member of the Miners' Mutual Aid Association, and there was no need to do these things for them.

"Just think that I replaced Ivo."

He Ao smiled.

This kind of death-seeking thing is so attractive that Nell's idiot fourth brother will definitely sign up enthusiastically.
