Chapter 281

Among the ruins of Oswald's mansion.

"Damn it!"

With a dark face, Joseph punched and broke half of the stumped pillar next to him.

The pillar tilted and hit the ground, kicking up dust all over the place.

Although it seemed that Joseph always had the upper hand in this confrontation, first of all, Wilde did not come forward, but only used the spell of the flesh and blood puppet.

Joseph's punches just now seemed powerful, but in fact they were not painful at all. Unless the attacks on the puppet were cursed, they could not affect the caster at all, and could only vent some psychological discomfort.

——But for a wizard of Wilde's level, even if he casts a curse on the flesh and blood puppet, it probably won't have much effect, and it may even be rebounded.

Secondly, the last few words of Wilde really affected Joseph's emotions, making him feel a little led by the nose...

This means that Wilde may know much more about the hidden secrets of the mystery tower incident than he does!

This kind of cognition made Joseph very agitated.

What's more, the meaning in Wilde's words is that this matter has something to do with the presbytery.

After all, Oswald is a great knight of glory, and only the elders can restrain him and supervise him. Before the elders make a judgment, no one else would think of doubting a great knight of glory. face symbol.

If he really did dirty things beyond personal matters, such as being an insider of the Road of Fire Sword, as Wilde said, without being exposed, and has been holding this sacred position well, Then the presbytery must also be inseparable.

In other words, inside the elders' seat... there may very well be an inner ghost of the Path of the Fire Sword!

This is a very scary thing.

When the inner ghost of an organization appears at the highest level of the organization and has enough power to control the entire organization, it basically means that the organization is not long before its end.

The Dome Church, which was destroyed not long ago, is the most vivid example.

Joseph's face changed a few times, but he still took a deep breath, calmed down, and withdrew his fist.

"It cannot be ruled out that Wilde used words to disturb and shake my mind. The matter is of great importance, and I must make my own reliable judgment."

Although he claimed that he came here under the orders of Boss Lin, Joseph, who had been dealing with Wilde for many years, understood that he must not trust any word of this guy.

Joseph's eyes flickered, and he turned his gaze back to Oswald's body.

But... Wilde took Oswald's soul in order to repair the gargoyle he gave to Boss Lin, and Oswald's grandson sent people to the bookstore to search and find out that Melissa was framed. Decided to report.

Wilde happened to come out of the bookstore at that time, and according to Claude, what he held in his hand at that time... was the split gargoyle!

If Boss Lin asked Wilde to repair the gargoyle at that time, the latter would naturally understand that those pawns or Todd were not worthy of Boss Lin's own words, and these people's weak souls were not enough to repair the gargoyle.

This means, obviously, to let him get Oswald's soul!

If everything is Boss Lin's will, it seems to be the most reasonable explanation...

However, during the execution process, Wilde carried private goods and used Oswald to deal a huge blow to the knights of the Tower of Secrets who came to search.

This is his first official revenge after returning after two years.

It will only get worse after that...

Joseph, who was in hesitation and contemplation, came back to his senses because of the voice of Caroline who had gone and returned: "I can find the trace of the information left by Wilde just now. If I follow the clues, I will soon find the location of his body. I need you Will it be arranged to suit you?"

This charming beauty in professional attire said so, but the word "lucky" was written all over her face-to be honest, she was really relieved when she saw that the battle did not really start.

This place is in the Central District. If the two Destroyers fight, the logistics department will be under a lot of pressure. If those who are sleeping are disturbed, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the Secret Ritual Tower will also face accountability.

But thinking about it from this aspect, Wilde might also be afraid, so this time he only used flesh and blood puppets.

Joseph shook his head, and said: "Even if we pass now, he must have set up an ambush, or he must have hidden himself before we arrived, and it would be useless to find the location... This time the intelligence department's operation is considered to be an ambush." It was a complete failure, and it is impossible for me to let my subordinates face greater risks in this situation."

As expected of the opponents who know each other best, they know each other in every way.

However, in order to prevent the Oswald faction from making preparations in advance, this operation was basically led by the intelligence department, without the participation of professionals from the combat department, and the overall combat effectiveness was obviously insufficient.

And Wilde's move was very deadly, directly cutting off most of the intelligence department's vitality.

Especially Claude... Joseph's only disciple almost died under Oswald's hands. At this moment, Joseph should have deep fear in addition to the accumulated anger of new and old hatred.

In terms of emotion and reason, it is indeed impossible to take any more risks.

Caroline nodded and comforted: "He will definitely attack again. When you return to the position of the Great Knight of Glory and regain control of the Combat Department, it will be Wilde's death."

Joseph frowned, recalling Wilde's words again—why was Oswald able to serve as the great knight of glory for so many years?

If there is really a member of the elders standing behind him, what will he do to the next successor after Oswald's death?

"Joseph's return" seems to have become a matter of course in everyone's eyes, but what if all this is being manipulated by someone with a heart?

"No," Joseph said in a low voice, "I once promised Winston that I would never compete with him for the position of Chief of the Combat Section. The Cavaliers can't just keep their promises."

Caroline was taken aback: "Then what do you think?"

"Oswald was originally in the cultivation department, right? Then I can just take his place."

Joseph said: "As for the position of chief of the intelligence department, after Claude recovers from his injuries, leave it to him—he has grown enough to be independent."

"I believe that the elders should adopt my ideas."

After finishing speaking, Joseph skimmed over the topic and said instead: "You can continue the work that was interrupted just now, the relevant information about Oswald..."

You should have reservations, right?

Joseph's deep eyes said so, he stretched out his hand, and the golden word "bookstore" appeared in his hand.

Caroline was taken aback, then hesitated for a moment, nodded, and continued to explore the depths of the information contained in Oswald's body...

...

Theodore officially moved his store into the shopping mall funded by Rolle Resources.

He looked around the shop he had decorated, heaved a sigh of relief, and then took out a book from a box in the corner.

It was this special book that made him miss many people, even forces.
