Chapter 685: Chapter 344: Another Angel
"Uh, why do you always use the term ’Sir’? Shouldn’t it be ’City Lord’? ’City Lord’ feels a bit more intimate." Sai De scratched his head and asked.
Matt Wei was slightly stunned, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes: "It subconsciously feels like he is a God...."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three of them fell silent.
Actually, everyone could perceive a bit of abnormality; ever since acquiring the Mythical Armor, their perspective on Baiyi had changed somewhat.
At first... no, even now, everyone feels that it’s normal since Baiyi has brought new life to this Federation and given them a second chance at life and an opportunity to step into the Legendary Domain.
But... there’s also a faint sense of coercion, like... the reasons for this faith don’t seem entirely sufficient.
"There’s nothing wrong with using ’Sir’, after all, a Divine Abomination is still divine."
Laya shifted the topic: "But we shouldn’t mention these trivial things to Sir, he’s very busy, and I don’t sense a strong threat."
"Let’s hope so." Matt Wei’s eyes flashed with a complex expression: "Even if Sir is changing my way of thinking, although it feels uncomfortable, it’s not something I can’t accept."
"After all, we didn’t really sacrifice anything, we haven’t even signed a contract....."
Sai De stretched lazily: "We’re almost there, so stop worrying about these things. Think about it, without Baiyi City Lord, what would we be doing? Would we have our current positions? Would we have the qualifications to become legendary?"
"Being granted the favor of a Divine Envoy is an honor reserved only for fanatics. Given Baiyi City Lord’s accomplishments now, I have no psychological burden in placing my faith in him."
The other two fell silent, and the three of them directly ignored the No-fly Array and flew into the City Lord’s Mansion of Chaoyang City.
Before landing, Jia Guan City Lord came out with a smile to greet them.
"You’ve arrived, thank you for your hard work. The banquet is ready, let’s start the festivities."
"No need, Lord City Lord, just give us the data. We’ll resolve it quickly as we have other matters to attend to."
Matt Wei, due to the earlier events, wasn’t in high spirits, but his tone wasn’t too harsh, given Jia Guan’s Di Feng family background.
Jia Guan paused briefly, smiled, and said: "It’s been prepared for a long time; let’s enjoy the banquet first. It’s a special Legendary Magical Beast feast, it might be of some help to you."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go."
Sai De’s eyes lit up and he pulled Matt Wei towards the banquet hall without giving Matt Wei a chance to refuse.
Laya smiled and said: "Please excuse us, City Lord, the captain encountered some issues earlier. Just ignore him."
"Haha, it’s alright, it’s alright. Everyone has something troubling on their mind sometimes. Come, let’s start the banquet, and I’ll tell you about this mission."
Jia Guan smiled as he invited the group into the banquet hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The entire place had been renovated, with Sabo leading the charge, the avenues of making money were outrageously abundant, and the entire banquet hall exuded one word—luxury!
Some Silver Level materials were even used as decorations.
For ordinary people, simply obtaining one of these ornaments could change—or more likely end—their destiny.
As Jia Guan enthusiastically spoke, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became more cheerful.
Matt Wei no longer dwelled on his inexplicable change in attitude and began to enjoy the Legendary Magical Beast meat with gusto.
When heading to the pinnacle of the All Heavens, it was impossible to carry many things, but in cleansing the Dawn Continent, the various Demon Beast Forests and lairs had been nearly swept clean.
Those Legendary Magical Beasts that could be captured were all kept in the Federation’s reserves, and those that couldn’t be captured became the dishes of the high-ranking individuals.
Currently, only a few in the Federation could afford a Legendary Banquet.
After all, Gold Coins wouldn’t depreciate just because resources became abundant.
Baiyi didn’t treat money as money simply because he had plenty of it.
Gold Coins are an Extraordinary Material, their value permanently fixed by demand, requiring the addition of materials like [Radiant Gold] for various equipment, which stabilizes its value. This is one reason it became the main currency of the Three Great Federations.
As the banquet drew to a close,
Jia Guan finally said: "The reason for inviting the ’Divine Armor Hall’ is roughly outlined, and some details are in these."
As he spoke, several beautiful maidservants carrying three books came in and placed them before the three guests.
"I also want to pursue this matter, but my strength is lacking. I have a very bad feeling about them, so I’ll leave it to all of you."
Matt Wei picked up a cloth to wipe the grease off his hands, picked up the book, and casually flipped through it.
Suddenly, he frowned and glanced at his two teammates.
"Power of Light? Absorbing mortal souls?" Matt Wei asked, somewhat perplexed.
"Yes, it’s quite bizarre. More precisely, it should be Angel’s Power, yet I can sense it is falling."
Jia Guan glanced ambiguously at Laya as he spoke.
The appearance of angels had long been a well-known fact throughout the Light Church, which is why this City Lord of the Di Feng Family summoned the Divine Armor Hall.
An angel capturing an angel—it’s a professional match.
Laya’s eyes were slightly grave: "Doesn’t City Lord feel that the Light Church would be more suitable for this task?"
"They..." Jia Guan’s expression was a bit indescribable: "They said whatever the angel does must be right...."
Laya: ....
Remembering how shameless the members of the Light Church were when they approached her, she was momentarily speechless.
Light has been the longest-standing faith among the Human Race, and after cultivating the current Divine Magic, these folks have fully embraced it.
Thanks to Laya’s presence, in just a short amount of time, they became the Dawn’s largest faith denomination.
A sort of overwhelming dominance.
Such a denomination would indeed utter such words.
The biggest reason, however, perhaps was due to these Divine Mages being afraid; after all, the highest among them was a Silver Level Divine Mage with not even one Golden Level among them, which made relying on them impractical.
"We will investigate this matter, have you finished eating?" Matt Wei asked in a somewhat casual tone.
As the second strongest holder of the Mythical Armor, he possessed great confidence.
"Huh?" Sai De, who had returned to his intense eating, froze for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, wait, don’t waste it."
"Captain Matt Wei, there’s no need to rush; the killings by this entity have no pattern. Without any slip-ups, it’s impossible to find it." Jia Guan said with some helplessness.
Matt Wei turned to Laya: "Do you feel anything?"
"I do, but it’s very subtle; it will require some luck."
"Then let’s pray for the Daughter of Destiny’s favor." Matt Wei said, stepping forward and grabbing the still-devouring Sai De, dragging him outside.
"Hey, hey, hey, don’t! I haven’t finished eating, have the City Lord pack it up for me to take along...."
Laya apologetically looked at Jia Guan: "Sorry, City Lord, the captain is just like this, focused on completing tasks first."
"No problem, no problem, I’ve already informed the workers; all sorts of mechanisms are at your command, and everyone will cooperate with you."
"Thank you very much, City Lord."
Laya said as she quickly turned to catch up with Matt Wei, who had already started flying away from the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Captain, you should adjust your temperament...."
"Adjust? Why should I adjust? Following Sir Baiyi, we only need to complete missions and not betray, there’s no need to play politics with anyone."
"That may be true, but...."
Laya’s words trailed off as she focused her gaze on a place in the city where faith was unusually abundant, a milky light flickering in her eyes.
Suddenly, she looked up to the sky, where a pair of pure white wings faintly appeared, gently fluttering on another plane.
"What’s wrong?"
Matt Wei noticed Laya’s abnormality, and his body shone with golden light; his Golden Armor sparkled with dazzling brilliance, seeming like another sun in the sky.
Beside him, Sai De quickly swallowed the remaining food in his hands, the golden brilliance bursting forth and equally radiant.
This drew a great many gazes from below.
The milky white light in Laya’s eyes slowly dissipated, and she gravely said: "I think... I saw it."
"Where?"
"Follow me!"
A flash of divine light from Laya and she instantly arrived above a luxurious building.
[Great God of Light, we praise You, You are our savior. We will give everything for You, even our life and soul....]
[Great God of Light.....]
The soft whispers of prayer continuously arose from below, and the prayers of thousands of people formed a remarkable sight on this street.
Some passing Transcendents, even if they didn’t believe in the God of Light, would glance at the giant cathedral and perform a gesture of respect for the Light Church.
Yet upon seeing the Golden Armor in the sky, their fervor was much more intense than when hearing divine prayers.
The notion of a God, for the Dawn at present, was just an intangible legend.
However, these Golden Armors were different. They were works of that great legend; their presence symbolized stability.
Laya earnestly perceived something, finally directing her gaze towards the cathedral.
That anomaly... was inside there!
