"That's true." Lin En nodded slightly without showing any expression.
However, Feren's words made his and Reiner's nerves tense.
It is not surprising to know that the newspaper office is protected by the Guard Corps.
The problem is, Archbishop Phelan specifically emphasized this point.
This most likely means that the God's Gift is aware of the existence of the Scavengers, and based on this, they suspect that Linn and Reiner are in contact with the Scavengers.
"Do you know the Guard Corps?" Ferran narrowed his eyes.
Lin En has developed a strong heart, which allows him to remain calm in the more critical times: "We know its existence, so we want to use words to stimulate them. If it works, the newspaper office will be safe in the short term.
It’s guaranteed.”
Fearon lowered his head and glanced at the newspaper.
There is indeed a straightforward statement in the newspaper, which roughly means that the newspaper needs the protection of the Guards Corps. If the Guards Corps turns a blind eye, it will be regarded as an accomplice of the powerful people involved.
But can just such a paragraph lead to the actual dispatch of the Guard Corps?
Archbishop Phelan was skeptical: "Why don't you go to the Sheriff's Bureau? You are all sheriffs, so it should be easier to seek asylum from the Sheriff's Bureau, right?"
This question has been asked by several people.
Reiner responded: "You can carefully look at the list of dignitaries involved. There are people from the Public Security Bureau, so asking the Public Security Bureau to provide protection to the newspaper is equivalent to throwing ourselves into a trap."
The logic barely makes sense.
"Hmm..." Feren looked deeply at Linn and Reiner.
He sensed a sense of disharmony between these two people.
Both of them are smart people.
But they always do stupid things. For example, Reiner is always unwilling to take over the family business that is coveted by countless forces. For example, this time they insist on fighting a group of powerful people to the end.
Why?
They will not be ignorant of the importance of the former and the outcome of the latter.
Just a noble idealism?
In reality, Feren doesn't think so. He feels that Linn and Reiner actually think deeply. Stupidity is just a surface. This surface can paralyze everyone and effectively cover them to achieve a real purpose in the future.
"Anyway, after discussing all night, we have decided to stay in the imperial capital and fight with the powerful people to the end. If you feel that we have become a burden to the God's Gift Society, we can withdraw from the God's Gift Society and we will not cause any trouble to anyone.
." After a period of silence, Reiner waited for Faerun to give his final answer.
They don't have much time, and they don't have time to deal with the gods.
Munro, the commander of the Guard Corps and the leader of the scavenger organization, only provides them with protection for one and a half days. If the problems of the powerful are not solved before noon tomorrow, the Free Press newspaper office will really be doomed.
"Of course you can stay." After a while, Fearon said, "There is no need to withdraw from the membership."
Um?!
Linn and Reiner tried not to look at each other.
Why didn't things go as they expected?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the Godsend Council decide that they are worthless and kick them out directly because they cause big trouble?
Why, after they made it clear that they wanted to fight the powerful people, not only did they not force them to leave the imperial capital, but they also allowed them to stay in the meeting?
"Is it possible that the gods are willing to help us?" Lin En eagerly wanted to know the reason.
"I won't help." Feilun refused simply.
Benefits are greater than heaven.
In the face of interests, he didn't save any face.
"That……"
"Outsiders don't know your connection with the God's Gift Society. Even if you kill all the powerful people, they won't be able to find my head, right?" Archbishop Fearon said, "So do you want to fight with the powerful people?
In the end, whether or not to quit is two different things."
Faerun is not easy to fool!
Lynn and Reiner added a bit of seriousness.
"In other words, we don't affect each other?" Lin En said.
"Yes." Fearon fell into Linn's trap.
Lin En continued step by step: "Then what's the point of joining the God's Gift Society? When we need help, the God's Gift Society can't help us. We stay here just to be unconditional and always ready to contribute to the God's Gift Society?"
"Of course the God-given Association will provide you with a lot of positive feedback, but let alone the God-given Association, there is no force in the world that can help you deal with those powerful people. What you need to do now is to reflect on yourself.
As a mediocre cleaner, why did he provoke those powerful people when he first arrived, and naively said that he would fight them to the end." Feilun let out a mocking snort.
"We don't agree with each other, so what's the point of forcing us to stay in the God-given Association?" Reiner wanted to take advantage of the differences in opinions between the two parties to withdraw from the association.
"I can see that you really want to leave the God's Gift Society." Faerun smiled half-heartedly.
Lin En's expression was stern, and his hair stood on end.
His [Perception] sensed the rising hostility in Faerûn.
The hostility is not very strong, but it is there anyway.
With the current strength, I can naturally avoid going against the [God-Enlightened One], so I will try my best to avoid it.
"To be precise, we really want to get help from the God's Gift Association. The reason why we chose to join the God's Gift Association is because of your original words. But now we find that these words have faded, so you should be able to understand that we are at this time
How I feel at this moment." Lin En hurriedly weakened their intention to leave the God's Gift Society and put the blame on Faylan.
"Let's talk about withdrawing from the membership. Anyway, you have decided to stay in the imperial capital, so there seems to be no need to rush into this matter." Feilun did not allow the two of them to escape from his control.
His intuition told him that Linn and Reiner had other purposes.
And this purpose can only be seen clearly if they are left behind.
"...That's fine. If we fail, it shouldn't be too late to leave the imperial capital according to your arrangements." Lin En relaxed.
Insisting on withdrawing from the meeting now will only intensify Phelan's suspicion.
This matter can only be discussed in the long term and the problems of the powerful should be solved first.
Seeing that Lin En had said so, Reiner did not insist. He took a deep breath and said, "I hope the God-given Society will still be the God-given Society in our minds."
"Whether God's gift will disappoint you, the premise is that you must live down-to-earth in the real world." Fearon vaguely reminded the two of them not to naively go against the powerful.
Lynn, Reiner understood, but didn't want to obey.
"Then let's go first." Reiner stood up and walked directly outside.
"Goodbye, Vice-President." Linn bowed to Faeron, and then followed Reiner.
"How's it going?" In the corridor, Upton was smoking a cigarette and waiting for them.
"The association will not help us deal with those powerful people, but it will not kick us away because of it." Lynn replied patiently, "We can do it on our own. If not, we will follow the arrangement of the association and go to other cities.
"
"Well... this is the best arrangement. It shows that you are still valuable and there is room for turning back." Upton didn't say much, "Let's go."
"etc."
Suddenly, a voice stopped several people.
The three of them turned their heads to look.
I saw the mysterious [God-enlightened One] whom Lin En met when he came here for the first time, standing at the end of the corridor, leaning against the wall, arms folded across his chest...
