Chapter 56 The Power of the Three Parties 2
Both William and Nox had just arrived at the eting hall when they saw Might fighting Bliss…
No.
It should be the dark ssenger fighting against the temple ssenger ruthlessly. The rcenary association's ssenger was even trying to separate them…
"Stop fighting, stop fighting! You'll kill soone if you continue!"
The rcenary ssenger was a muscular warrior. He hugged the Bright Temple's ssenger's arm tightly. No matter how much the bright ssenger struggled, the rcenary ssenger's iron rod-like arms restrained him strongly, preventing the forr from moving even a little.
The more annoying thing was that he was still shouting, telling people to stop fighting…
At the sa ti, the Dark Palace's ssenger attacked both sides.
Punches landed crazily. Apart from not using any battle energy, real punches landed on flesh without any regard. After a short while, the Bright Temple's ssenger's face was swollen.
No one knew how long this violent and torturous behavior continued.
Finally, when they saw William and his n co in, they stopped.
The rcenary association's muscular man imdiately loosened his grasp, ignoring the unlucky person who fell onto the floor with a loud bang and walked towards the side to admire the wall paintings in the eting room.
As for the Dark Palace's ssenger, he sat down in the corner, his eyes narrowing as he drank the fruit alcohol. His excited expression looking as though he was reminiscing about what had just happened…
"Where is Lautner?" The corners of William's lips twitched.
"Eh, what's wrong… My Lord, you called ?" Lautner had rely gone to the washroom. Who would know that so much would have happened?
"Should we get a water elental mage to heal him a little?" Nox asked really softly.
In the end…
The Temple's ssenger, who had really good hearing, reached out and shook his head as he slowly got up. "Bah!"
His bloody saliva was spat on the floor. William raised an eyebrow…
However, the Temple's ssenger didn't see William's eyes and stared ruthlessly at the other two n instead. He said straightforwardly, "I don't need to be healed. They are just external wounds. I can still fight for a day."
"Did you even attack? Weren't you being hit the entire ti?" The corners of everyone's lips twitched.
Lautner coughed softly. "Alright, since everyone is fine, I'll grandly introduce to all of you." He turned slightly as he introduced, "This is the Lord of the City of Dawn, William Blackleaf."
"Greetings, my Lord!"
"Greetings, my Lord!"
"Greetings, my Lord!"
No matter how strong their backgrounds were, the three ssengers still had to bow down to express their respect towards a territory's sole leader.
William was this city's king!
Unless they had the ability to wipe out a city, they couldn't be too arrogant.
Their backgrounds were indeed very strong, but they couldn't win against a King or Emperor.
This was sothing every ssenger had to rember clearly!
Besides, they also realized that their ability was about the sa as Lautner, so how would they dare to cross the line?
Also, William's surna shocked them, making them choose to treat William sincerely.
"Hello, ssengers. Please sit." The eting hall of the City of Dawn was newly built and was huge and wide.
He sat on the pedestal, smiling at the three of them. "The City of Dawn belongs to the neutral camp and doesn't lean towards the Bright or the Dark.
"My territory will keep its neutrality. I will only choose to take part in a war if soone invaded or threatened my territory itself. I hope everyone can understand this."
"Of course. My na is Akama, the south-eastern ssenger of the Dark Palace. It's my first ti in the City of Dawn, but I'm already amazed at the multi-racial community in the city. I admire this sort of life a lot. Can I ask what kind of impression Your Honor has of the Dark Palace?" The middle-level dark warrior asked.
William smiled slightly, remaining quiet.
"Does my Lord plan to build all three sanctuaries at the sa ti? Anyway, I personally think that the rcenary association will bring a lot of help to Your Honor's territory."
"It's the sa as the Bright Temple. Your Honor should know that amongst the many intelligent beings, there were always more people who prefer the light inside of the dark." The Temple ssenger who said he could fight for an entire day piped in as well.
When the three of them first received the invitation, they didn't have a good impression of this City of Dawn which was once the Border Town.
However, after so investigation, they realized that this speedily developing city had great potential. It should be able to bring them many believers and benefits.
Both the Bright Temple and Dark Palace believed in one God.
The Bright God and the Dark God.
Their existence was to help the Gods gather the belief of intelligent races.
The rcenary association was a lot simpler. Their goal was to recruit rcenaries. When a person posted a mission at the rcenary association, they would be able to receive a certain fee. As they let rcenary teams and rcenaries accomplish the missions, they would earn a portion of the reward too.
Either way, the rcenary association was more like a middle-man association. However, since they were able to gain a footing on the Legendary continent, they are definitely strong, because real warriors usually believed in the God of War.
However, rcenaries were not loyal to the rcenary association, because they would often form their own rcenary teams.
If they really had to compare which was stronger of the three?
"With how rural and distant this place is, how can we differentiate what is strong and weak?
"The Gods now cannot show their traces and the beliefs cannot be reciprocated. Many nicknas of the Gods were also made up.
"Many believers only want piece of mind. Bright ssengers and dark ssengers seem to be a powerful and elite occupation, but they might not all be loyal to the God they believe in!"
William said slowly, "However, it is also because of this situation that I'm allowing you to enter the City of Dawn. If not, wouldn't you take all of the benefits?"
That was why he described very clearly, "No matter if it is the Bright Temple, the Dark Palace or the rcenary association, I will build the buildings. Whether or not you choose to recruit believers or rcenaries, I don't care.
"However, you have to rember that I want all of the benefits I deserve.
"If you chose to be stingy, I will be the sa!"
"My Lord, please be assured, I understand." The Bright Temple's ssenger smiled, while the other two ssengers nodded as well.
You have to know that the Legendary continent was large, so communication was very inconvenient. Providing aid was even harder.
For example, apart from their main believers showing their loyalty to the Bright Temples for their entire lives, the others would build new temples in Empires, Kingdoms and various nations. So other beliefs and occupations were not crazy believers, so their lives were very free.
After they chose to beco a Pastor or Saint Knight and received so training, they could choose to stay in the Temple or leave to enjoy their lives and take part in wars.
As long as they didn't offend too many of the Temple rules and no one specially reported them, their nas wouldn't be removed from the Temple.
It was even like this for the Dark Palace.
"There's no other way. It's all for the performance…" Both the Bright Temple and Dark Palace ssengers couldn't help but diss in their hearts. They didn't really believe in their own Gods. They only wanted to beco more powerful and earn more money.
The Bright Temple ssenger and the Dark Palace ssenger even knew each other. They would often et up and even drink together.
They had only fought earlier to give William a show, to make this young Lord think that they weren't easy to deal with, because a stronger person always liked to show their subordinates that he could handle things.
However, the Temple ssenger never thought that his old friend would have a new friend and even hit him so harshly.
"My heart… hurts so much." The Temple's ssenger's expression was filled with disappointnt and unwillingness.
William smiled kindly. "If are all fine with it, we can start work tomorrow."
Just as the three ssengers broke into bright smiles, William said again, "I forgot to say, tell your people to bring enough money. You can use my people. Their pays are 5 copper coins a day, but their constructing speed is extrely quick."
"…" The three of them were speechless.
William raised an eyebrow. "I do rember that you don't have to use your own money to build the sanctuaries, since all of them could be taken from the headquarters. Did you want to bully for my lack of knowledge since I just left the Dark Night City?"
The three ssengers glanced at each other before they hurriedly shook their heads and denied the accusation.
However, they really did want to earn a sum of money and run. They were the ssengers of the area, not the city's ssengers, so they wouldn't have to face William every day in the future.
As for many cities, no matter which side ca in, there would be many benefits.
That was why many Lords or nobilities would use their own money to build the sanctuaries.
They had never thought that William would be so stingy.
"However, you're still too young." The three of them were thinking about the sa thing. An Elf that ca from the Dark Night City and had the surna of Blackleaf, who was he if he wasn't part of the Royalty?
