Chapter 28. The Wolves Under the Moonlight
Xilu had thought of many answers, but this was the only one he had never thought of.
His mind quickly turned a few times, wondering if this Half-Elf's brain was out of its working condition to actually take a fancy to a common woman like Carly.
However, considering that Carly would most likely be the leader of the entire tribe in the future, he couldn't just watch her mess around.
"I know that you long ears have a different sense of beauty from ordinary people."
"Who's different from ordinary people?" Char rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, I know you're going to introduce me to excellent women who have good butts and are pregnant, and their arms are thicker than my calves. Stop it, I'm not interested in those girls.
"Besides, I don't have any intention of taking Carly away. My focus is on the latter. Please remember, my original words were 'I'll save you'. "
Xilu snorted.
"Don't try to fool me with the way you trick women. 'Kindness' without any reason means long-term planning. I'm not a fool. Is this the Queen's will?"
"I don't know what the Queen intends, but right now, my word is her word. Trust me, I'm not interested in you."
Char said bluntly, "Everyone in Elfheim is now engaged in production. The value that an elven farmer who knows 'cultivation' can create in one day is equivalent to that of twenty adult warriors like you. Who would be so free to covet your muscles that are full of burning, killing, and looting? If it wasn't for the church's plan to make a big move, would I have the time to come and talk to you about this? I would have gone to the Ice City to find my old flames! There were two of them!
Xilu's face turned green and white. He understood what Char meant.
Their value was reflected in the fact that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
If it was not for the fact that the church was going to attack them, if it was not for the fact that they did not want to see the church succeed, they would not have bothered to get involved in this mess.
Knock.
Char knocked on the table.
"What's the second one?"
Xilu slowly let out a breath.
"The second is about the executor of this matter..."
the White Spirit Tribe? "
"Yes." Xilu nodded. "Things are more serious than I thought. I thought it was just some of the twenty-four priests who were brainwashed and became the church's puppets. Now it seems that the entire White Spirit Tribe has fallen. A few days ago, at the border of the White Spirit Tribe, Naby and the mole in Taken's team worked together. One used poison to control our patrol team, and the other used poison to control taken himself. That's how more than five hundred people disappeared from my sight without a trace.
"It was also that night that he received instructions from the higher-ups to postpone the plan to kill me, because the higher-ups guessed that your group would come to meet me, and among them was the murderer who killed Chaxike's precious grandson."
Speaking up to this point, Xilu's expression was clearly suspicious.
" I didn't know that you're a Paladin of the Holy See? Don't tell me you took Paladin's emblem?"
"I did."
Char took out the Holy See emblem with a smile.
Xilu's expression froze on his face.
He took the emblem, looked at it over and over again, and shook his head.
"I can't tell what's wrong, but I don't think it's fake, nor is it real. However, if it was in the middle of the night, it might be enough to trick Chaxike. That old thing, other than being sinister and vicious, is a complete fool. You're so pushy."
Snap.
Char snapped her fingers in agreement.
"Did Naby reveal who his contact is?" He asked.
Xilu frowned and thought for a moment.
"No, they only have one-way communication. The mole in Taken's team is his superior. However, he did mention one thing. The 'search for a Paladin of the Holy See' was personally ordered by a big shot, and his code name is 'Meteor'.
"…"
For a moment, Char did not know what expression to use to face this.
It wasn't right to say that he was surprised, but it wasn't right to say that he wasn't surprised either.
This was too much!
This was originally a complicated matter, but why did it become so simple?
To satisfy three things at the same time: being in a high position in the church, standing on the opposite side of the Holy See, and being able to use 'Meteor' as his code name, it was almost as if he was telling others his identity.
Who else could it be other than that idiot, Lorenzo?
Other people used codenames to hide their identities, but this idiot was just trying to look cool!
What a moron!
For a moment, Char felt as if his wishful thinking for a great enemy had been fed to the dogs.
Xilu didn't understand why he suddenly had a strange expression. He probed, "Is there a problem with this 'Meteor'? "
"No, no problem. I know who he is. The church's most powerful Holy Knight, Lorenzo, has a slight conflict with the current Holy See." Char pouted. "I I lied to Chaxike, and he exaggerated the matter. Now it's Lorenzo's turn to investigate the Holy See. Just let them fight each other. You don't have to worry about it."
Xilu subconsciously made an "Oh" sound, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Wait…
Why do I feel awkward?
I've become a subordinate?
Char did not give him much time to recover, and continued to give him a series of instructions. Xilu noted them down one by one and automatically began to figure out the meaning behind them. The more he understood, the more shocked he became.
Whether the other party's response was exquisite and correct, all of this would be tested by time. However, these plans really suited his taste. If he were the one to analyze and make the decision, the result would be almost exactly the same.
W-what's going on?
Could it be that my mind has been read?
That's not right.
I haven't even f*cking figured it out yet, how did he figure out what I should think of first?
By the time Xilu recovered from his shock, Char had already waved his hand and left, not leaving a single sleeve behind.
...
After Naby's incident, there was no longer any gap between the two groups. Carly knew that she was a junior and could not compare to Xilu in terms of means or status, so she simply handed the command over to Xilu.
Xilu was also concerned about Char's existence, so he didn't make things difficult for Carly like he did in the past.
It wasn't that he couldn't, but he didn't dare to.
In this kind of harmonious atmosphere, everyone spent a rare ordinary and casual time on the road.
When people were free, they would let their thoughts run wild.
On the night before they arrived at the eagle prairie, the moon was rounder than usual, and even Char could not help but joke to Carly that the Moonlight Wolf might turn into a human with a howl, and even asked about the wolf's gender.
In the evening, when Char returned to the tent, a pair of hands suddenly appeared and covered his mouth.
In the darkness, he had wanted to resist, but after feeling the soft touch on his back, he suddenly held back.
He turned around and saw Carly staring at him.
She stared at him with her pair of green eyes.
"You exchanged souls with that dog again?"
The high priest did not answer. Instead, he tore open his shirt like a wild beast.
"Ah!"
The overlord was finally forcing herself on him?
Just when Char thought that life was finally going to lay its hands on this poor little cat, the other party placed her ear on his chest.
"Your heart is beating faster."
Carly said.
"Nonsense, after being scared by you, even a dead person would be scared to death!" Char said unhappily.
"I don't care,"
Carly licked her lips, like a female wolf hunting for food. She pressed one hand on his chest, and the woman's kisses got closer and closer, and the light in her eyes became stronger and stronger.
Most importantly, she was emitting the restlessness of a wild beast.
Wait…
Something's wrong...
Char's suspicion overcame his swelling desire. He looked at the rapidly growing nails on Carly's fingers and felt that something was wrong.
"Alright, you win."
Char pretended to shrug helplessly, and a metal disc suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Look, what is this!"
He raised the disc and shouted, and as expected, Carly's gaze was deeply attracted to the disc.
"I'll throw it!"
As he made a strong throwing motion, Carly turned in the direction of his hand and leaped into the air on all four limbs. She was really like a wolf, her movements as fast as lightning!
"Damn it, I'm so smart!"
Char's heart still palpitated with fear as she broke through the tent without looking back.
He did not throw the disc. Instead, he kept it in his bag the moment he threw it out. If he really threw it out, he would be caught in seconds!
When Char rushed out of the tent, he suddenly realized that there was a group of creatures waiting for their green eyes in the camp.
Their bodies were in between corporeal and wandering souls, and each of them was no smaller than Carly's Moonlight Wolf.
The reason why it was so quiet was probably because they were holding everyone hostage.
Xilu appeared outside the tent.
He was sitting in a wheelchair with a dark face. Behind him stood a woman who looked similar to Carly, but she was obviously much older.
However, one of her arms had turned into a furry wolf's claw. It was 10 cm long and had a metallic glint on it. It was pressed against Xilu's throat.
No wonder he was so quiet.
