Hail the King

Chapter 322: He Is Scary

Fei always wanted to know where Angela’s ability came from.

What Balesi said today gave Fei some possible ideas – perhaps only the people with the purest souls can community with the animals in natural on a spiritual level. Such pure souls may cause the beasts to lose their cautiousness as they would become intimate.

Only the purest soul can complete such a miracle.

Fei somehow felt like there were more secrets on Angela; it wasn’t as simple as having the purest soul. These secrets may be tightly related to the Holy Church, and that was why sly Balesi had lost his temper today. It felt like the cavaliers of the Holy Church wasn’t too stimulated as they didn’t know much about the secrets.

Also, it was Fei’s first-time meeting [God’s Favorite Child] Kaka.

This was a deep and inestimable character; humble yet powerful. As for now, Fei couldn’t see through Kaka’s strength. During the conversation they had today, Kaka was always calm. Even when Fei and Balesi were facing off each other aggressively, the bright smile could still be seen on Kaka’s face. It could easily pull people closer to him, and others won’t be uncomfortable around him.

Such a character was scary.

However, Fei didn’t sense anything negative about this Kaka. Instead, he felt very intimate towards him.

After he gathered his thoughts, Fei opened up the portal and entered Diablo World. This time, he didn’t choose the Barbarian Character. He chose to use the Amazon Character and the Necromancer Character this time, and he tried his best to level up these two characters.

......

The dawn came.

When a sliver of white light appeared on the horizon, it lit up the clouds in the sky.

It was the coldest in the winter morning. Roads and trees on the sides were all covered by a thin layer of white frost. Under the bright sunlight, everything looked beautiful.

A team of about 100 people was moving forward slowly on a road in the valley.

The cavaliers who were wearing silver armors and white capes were chatting with each other and laughing; they were obviously having a good time. The crisp noises made by the horse hooves and the frozen ground resonated in the area. The person who was at the very front of this team was a tall cavalier who was riding on a black horse that was more than two meters tall; the horse breathed out “white fog” constantly. In the hands of this cavalier, there was a silver cross; that represented the identity of these people –

The Holy Church!

Among the cavaliers, there was a silver magic carriage. There were a lot of magic engravings that belonged to the Holy Church on the carriage. The carriage was about two meters long, and it didn’t have any wheels. Under the carriage, more than 100 small wind-elemental magic arrays helped the carriage that was about 1000 kilograms float in the air. In the front, four black horses of similar sizes pulled the carriage forward slowly and steadily.

The cavaliers around the carriage were powerful; they were all guarding this carriage cautiously.

Inside the carriage, there were two people enjoying the soft and comfortable interior. They were [God’s Favorite Child] Kaka and his accompanying priest Balesi.

“Your Highness, aren’t you moved by this opportunity?” Balesi opened his eyes and lightly asked.

“I didn’t see any opportunities.” Kaka shook his head.

“Eh...... Your Highness, that woman named Angela has the ‘godly body’ and the “godly soul”; she is the most fitted for being a Saintess. If we can bring her to the Holy Mountain, you would definitely be favored by Pope His Majesty. I’m sure that she would have no problem advancing to a Saintess from a member of the Shrine Choir. If she succeeds, then our South Mountain’s strength would increase dramatically. Then......”

“Bring her to the Holy Mountain? Did you see that she is already Alexander’s woman?” Kaka interrupted Balesi’s daydream with a smile.

“Haha, he is only a small king of a level 6 affiliated kingdom, and his parent empire is only a level 1 empire. As long as Your Highness want, does the king of Chambord dare to disobey your order?” Balesi sneered. As the winter sunlight shined on his wrinkled face, a fierce and vicious expression was highlighted. He was very different from the calm and gentle priest that he appeared in front of everyone else.

“If he is only a king of an affiliated kingdom, it would be fine. But I’m sure that you, the teacher, know that Alexander’s identity isn’t that simple.”

“You mean the golden Holy Power?”

Kaka nodded as a response.

Balesi frowned. “Looking at the history of the king of Chambord, it seems like he did suddenly get the support of a powerful force. It is very likely that he is also a [God’s Favorite Child]. After all, only the Holy Church can turn an idiot into a genius warrior in a short time.” A confident smile appeared on Balesi’s face as he continued: “So what? Even if he is a [God’s Favorite Child], he is probably only discovered by the Holy Church recently; otherwise, he would be famous a long time ago. Your Highness doesn’t need to be afraid of a weak [God’s Favorite Child] who has little foundation. Using this opportunity......”

The expression on Balesi’s face got terrifying and chilly. Although he didn’t finish his sentence, he expressed his idea completely using this expression.

He wanted to ...... kill the king of Chambord.

Among many [God’s Favorite Children], only one was able to sit on the supreme throne on the Holy Mountain. There were a lot of competitions, and many forces within the Holy Church fought with each other for more power. These competitions mostly resulted in negatives loops.

Death of [God’s Favorite Children] wasn’t rare. In fact, the current Pope Sepp Blatt only got where he was by stepping on the corpses of more than a dozen [God’s Favorite Children].

On the continent that was ruled by the Law of the Jungle, Balesi felt like it was normal for Kaka to use his power and influential to kill a potential future competitor.

“Teacher, you are too murderous.” Kaka sighed as he shook his head.

Balesi sighed as well.

“Your Highness, you are just too kind and naïve. You have been traveling around the continent, and you have seen all kinds of bloodiness and ugliness of this world. However, you still refuse to believe that the world is cruel. Put that aside...... Your Highness, you have to remember that you are one of the brightest [God’s Favorite Children]. Your fate had been determined at the time of your birth, and kindness and sympathy can not help you. You can only be relieved after your sit on that throne.”

Kaka only smiled; he did say anything back.

Balesi could only sigh again; he didn’t continue talking as well.

This kind of conversations occurred numerous times in the last few years.

Although Balesi had never convinced this [God’s Favorite Child], he would never give up on it.

As long as there was the opportunity, Balesi would try to tell Kaka about his fifty-years of life experience and the cruelness of the internal conflicts of the Holy Church. He believed that he was right. A [God’s Favorite Child] who was too kind would never survive in the Holy Church which had numerous small but vicious groups, didn’t matter how powerful he or she was.

Balesi felt like he had to convince Kaka.

His fate was tightly tied together with Kaka’s fate when he became the first Robe-Robe Accompanying Priest to Kaka.

“Your Highness, please let me make the decision this time. This woman named Angela is too important for your future. I will get her for you by all means.” As if he made a decision, Balesi told Kaka seriously.

“Don’t offend the king of Chambord.” Kaka looked at the stubborn elder in front of him and said: “He is scary, and he will become even scarier in the future.”

“That is why we need to finish it right now.” Balesi wasn’t willing to back off.

As Kaka was about to say something, his face changed color. Balesi who was sitting in front of him also was shocked.

Before the two of them could say anything, a light buzzing noise sounded. A thin and short black sword had pierced through the silver magic carriage and appeared in front of Balesi instantly. With a dash of chilly light, it went at Balesi’ throat.

Assassin!

This was an unanticipated change!

No one thought that there would be a person who dared to assassinate key figures of the Holy Church. Also, no one thought that the assassin could get into the silver magic carriage and carry out the assassination without anyone noticing.

It was fortunate that Balesi was powerful and had a good reaction speed.

In this critical moment, this white-haired priest was very calm. He sat still as a white flame appeared in his right hand. His Holy Power surged as he grabbed onto that assassination sword with his right hand.

“Die!” Balesi roared as he touched the sword.

As he was about to counterattack, his face changed color again; shock appeared in his eyes. His hand that was harder than steel under the empowerment of the Holy Power wasn’t able to grasp that black sword. His palm was cut open as he sensed severe pain.

This short sword was a very powerful weapon; it even could pierce through Holy Power!

Boom!

Under the threat of death, Balesi roared again. Terrifying Holy Power spilled out of his body like a tsunami, and the white flames filled the inside of the silver magic carriage. After the outburst of power, the silver magic carriage exploded into pieces!

The person who also flew away was that assassin.

Under the impact of the Holy Power, the cavaliers who were protecting the carriage were also blown away with their horses as they had little time to react; they looked like they were weak ants.

“Hahaha, I didn’t know that Mr. Priest is a Moon-Class Elite!”

A hoarse and crazy laughter sounded. That assassin who was blown away came back at Balesi even faster. Like a dangerous snake, the black sword broke through the white flames and stabbed at Balesi’s heart. This strike was so powerful and desperate that it made people feel like the assassin was willing to trade his own life away.
