The originally relaxed atmosphere on the long street suddenly became tense.
"I hate nonsense the most, so I will say it for the last time, I refuse!"
Downton looked at Hiddink without showing any signs of weakness, showing no scruples at all because of his status as a red archbishop.
"Be bold!"
"presumptuous!"
Before Downton finished speaking, he was drowned out by the sonorous sound of drawing swords. The group of Templar knights all drew their weapons and glared at him. They only waited for the Archbishop's order to cut off this guy's head.
"snort!"
Downton snorted coldly, crossed his arms across his chest, raised his chin slightly, and glanced over the group of knights with arrogance.
Under the effect of Titan's Grip, the fearless battle axe, giant ferocious beast and elemental scepter were suspended beside him, ready to dodge at any time.
The burly Undead Abomination Corps surrounded them, and the breath of the undead filled the air, making this late autumn midnight even colder.
The ghouls who were not dead also appeared from all around, staring with murderous eyes, lowering their bodies, like hunting dogs, ready to pounce and kill at any time.
The twin angels spread their wings and floated in the air. The firebirds chirped loudly, streaking across the bright night sky like shooting stars.
The Templar Knights immediately tightened their weapons, formed a battle formation, and blocked in front of Hiddink. The three super beasts prevented them from slacking off.
Groups of white light lit up, which was when the knights released their respective demon servants. Even though they were only facing one Downton, no one dared to look down upon them.
Downton holds the title of the first person under the marshal, which is not a compliment, but a real achievement.
"I, Di Polo, will this kid really start a war with the Archbishop?"
"Is it worth it for a corpse?"
"Come on, I'm here for the wolf girl. This is really a shameful act of anger!"
Some scepters stayed out of the matter, and some who were friendly with Hiddink moved their steps to side with him. Anyway, no one supported Downton, not even the Geese family, who wanted them to start a war.
"Downton. Pay attention to your behavior. If you contradict a red archbishop, you will be sent to the Inquisition!" the knight commander scolded.
"Didn't Hiddink tell you that I also have the title of honorary archbishop? Are you talking to me like this? Do you want to be sent to court?"
Downton asked, "By the way, when we met just now, none of you saluted me. Do you look down on me?"
The knight commander was stunned and didn't know what to say. Deep down in his heart, he was filled with envy and hatred. Why did the Holy See grant Downton such a title?
The other knights looked at each other, Downton's status was not easy to handle!
"Downton, stop making trouble. It's not worth fighting Hiddink over a corpse!"
The scepter of the Guise family persuades and starts a fight. It will do no good to anyone.
"It depends on what they mean!"
Downton's strong attitude made the crowd of onlookers stunned. But then they became a little envious. What does it mean to be strong? This is what it means to be a man? This is what Downton stands here, like a green pine facing the snow.
, a solid barrier. A majestic mountain, his back has never been bent.
"Downton, don't push yourself too far..."
The knight commander stared at Downton and said this through gritted teeth. The scene was really tense, and he had seen countless people, so he knew that there was almost no possibility of compromise by the other party, but Hiding could not overcome his soft words.
What face?
A big shot relies on his majesty to survive. Once he has been humiliated, his words will no longer be taken seriously by other big shots at the same level!
Downton didn't bother to pay attention to him and snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
A golden halo exploded at Downton's fingertips, covering the whole place. A halo of death appeared at the feet of every soldier of the Undead Corps.
"For the glory of my Lord!"
The thunderous roar resounded across the sky, and every undead man looked fanatical, preparing to charge to the death.
Wow!
The atmosphere at the scene was even more suffocating. If the scepters didn't care about their face, they would have wanted to leave. This is a tribute to death. The blessed people will launch a suicidal charge. They will be crazy and they don't want to be affected.
"This kid doesn't know how to hang around in officialdom, he doesn't even know how to deal with it."
The scepters whispered, they all thought Downton was very masculine.
"Archbishop, we will risk your lives to protect you and leave!"
This group of knights is very loyal and has made preparations to die in battle. At least from this point of view, they are worthy of their status as priests.
"Knight Downton, are you trying to make me look bad?"
Hiddink's face turned ashen as water.
"no!"
Downton pouted. If the body couldn't be saved, he could give it to Andrea and let her get the credit instead of the old man.
"stop fighting!"
Xia Luo stood up, "Don't let such a corpse get you into trouble!"
"It doesn't matter, if you want it, I'll get it for you!"
Downton's tone was categorical. Facing the girl he loved, he could now be said to be killing someone when someone stood in his way, and killing a god when someone stood in his way.
Xian Lang shook her head. Downton's feelings made her both touched and at a loss. Because of her identity, the two of them were destined to have no future.
"But it feels good to be cared about and loved by others!"
Xia Luo lowered her head, remembering that every morning when she entered the laboratory, she would definitely see the freshest and sweetest apple. Whenever she was tired, there would always be a cup of steaming milk on hand. She knew that
It was prepared for her by Downton.
No matter how busy Downton was, even if he was in a desperate situation or on the verge of war, he never forgot a day!
"Forget it, people will die, even humans and undead, it is still life!" Charlotte shook her head and looked at Hiddink, "Can I take away its heart and brain?"
"Can!"
Hiddink is also a veteran. When he saw that there was a step down, he immediately agreed, otherwise there would be bloodshed if the stalemate continued.
To be honest, even with the protection of so many knights, he didn't think he could survive Downton's offensive unharmed, because the dead body of the Skinned Walker was the best proof.
After receiving the Archbishop's look, the knights immediately stepped forward and carefully collected the bodies.
"Did I let you move?"
Downton grabbed the giant beast and waved it casually.
A flash!
A blade of light passed in front of the knight and disappeared directly into the night sky.
Several knights suddenly broke out in cold sweat. They realized that they couldn't even see Downton's attack. If the attack just now was coming towards someone, they would have been dead.
More and more powerful people came, and when they saw this scene, they all frowned. People from the Holy See came, and they naturally joined Hiddink's camp.
Downton, who had no power, suddenly seemed to be alone.
"Downton, are you okay?"
The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded. Another luxurious carriage came speeding up. After it stopped, Andrea rushed out from inside!
"Your Majesty Bishop!"
Downton smiled bitterly.
"Call me sister!"
After Andrea heard the news from the spy, she rushed over immediately. After all, this was the territory of the Geese family. If they didn't even have this bit of energy, the title of the wealthy family would be in vain.
"tutor!"
Downton's lips moved a few times, but he still couldn't scream.
"What exactly is going on?"
The female bishop sighed. She didn't force anything. After adjusting her mentality, she started to deal with things.
Downton explained briefly.
"Flayed Walker? My Goddess, are you not injured?"
The female bishop didn't care at all how important the body was. She immediately grabbed Downton and checked his body. After confirming that there were no injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Downton was very touched. Andrea was really like a big sister to him, which made him feel particularly at ease as no elder had ever endured the hardships of life alone.
"Archbishop Hiddink, since this is the trophy of my apprentice's brother, then naturally it must be handled by me!"
Andrea's tone was neither humble nor silent.
Downton didn't serve in the Holy See, so he didn't know that there were factional struggles even among religious figures who claimed to be holy, and Andrea was obviously not on the same page as Hiddink.
"According to the rules of the adventure world, this is true, but it is different now. The value of the skinned walker's body is too great."
Hiddink was very depressed, and another one came out to disrupt the situation.
Andrea is also an archbishop after all. Although she doesn't fight, her conversation is even more difficult for Hiddink to resist.
This kind of confrontation between powerful people opened Downton's eyes.
"What's wrong with you these days?"
Someone came forward and Xia Luole was at ease, but she soon discovered something was wrong with Downton. He looked quite bad and smelled of alcohol, so she frowned. In her understanding, Downton was an extremely self-disciplined man.
Boy, never drink.
"Elaine disowns me!"
Downton sighed deeply.
"There must be something hidden, right?"
Charlotte frowned slightly. Although she had not spent much time with Elaine, she could tell that the girl was a brother-controller and loved her brother very much.
"Who knows!"
Downton shrugged his shoulders.
"Then put it aside for two days and let your brain calm down. In your current state, you can't find the reason at all."
Charlotte suggested.
"Um!"
Seeing that Downton was obviously absent-minded, Xian Lang extended an invitation, "You haven't studied potions for a long time and have done experiments. Come into the laboratory and be my assistant. Recently, there has been great progress in the dragon guardian potion."
"good!"
In the past, Downton would have been very happy to have this opportunity to be alone with his beloved girl, but now he would have to discount it.
"Wait while I dispose of the body!"
Charlotte squatted next to the body again, put on white rubber gloves, and started cutting.
"I'm here to help!"
Downton picked up a scalpel. The Templars wanted to stop him, but after being glared at by Downton, they had to calm down.
"Male, is there any reason for this? This guy is handsome, powerful, and extremely popular. He actually knows how to learn potions?"
Some of the scepters watched Downton dissecting the corpse. Although his movements were unskilled, he was definitely not a layman. They couldn't help but complain. They wanted to know if there was anything else that this kid couldn't do! (To be continued...)
