“How do you plan to deal with him?”
Su Li asked Qi.
Finding Qi was not difficult, as any resident of Sadina City could serve as Euphia’s informant. When she wanted to investigate any news in this city, it was as simple as eating and drinking.
And as a tenant with a friendly relationship with the landlord, it was essentially like making a transfer call in modern society for Su Li to find Qi.
Therefore, before Willard had even woken up, Su Li found Qi amid the last traces of the setting sun, and asked this question.
Qi looked at Su Li, and Su Li could clearly see his pale lips trembling, as if wanting to say sothing, but ultimately just tightly pursing them.
“Difficult to deal with?” Su Li asked curiously.
Qi shook his head while looking into Su Li’s eyes. “It’s not that I don’t know how to deal with him, but rather I didn’t expect that a crisis which I saw as insurmountable and could only be avoided, in your eyes is essentially just a…”
Qi couldn’t find the right word to describe the current situation.
In short, it was a complete shift in worldview.
Of course, Qi knew that Su Li was formidable, but this formidability was more on a spiritual level. At the core, Su Li was still the weakling who couldn’t even carry things on his shoulders.
Therefore, he could not imagine the power of verbal attacks on a person.
After all, even Willard himself didn’t expect that he would be scared into fainting one day.
But in the next mont, Su Li saw Qi smiling at the corners of his eyes and saying, “Nothing unexpected has happened, that’s great.”
In his eyes, being an exiled character was equivalent to being an abandoned one.
After all, he was the kind of fool who needed to learn from his peers about what kind of feelings his own mother had towards him.
And it was precisely because of this deep understanding of the facts that he completely ignored the interpersonal relationships around .
But rather than saying the matter was resolved too smoothly, it was more accurate to say that it was just a coincidence.
Egbert just happened to return in recent tis, and Willard just happened to rush up and throw himself in.
“It’s good that you’re alright too.” Su Li responded casually.
And the location they were currently in was a place that even people growing up in the slums did not want to approach.
The piles of garbage in the line of sight were towering, strange slls constantly lingered around the nose, and the buzzing flies sward around the decaying animal carcasses.
It was already dark, making it difficult to clearly see the voices of others, but it was still not hard to discover that there were so makeshift and unstable houses in the vicinity of this garbage dump-like environnt.
They couldn’t even ignite a lamp with elental power inside.
Su Li knew why, even though he didn’t know much about this world.
Just by looking at this scene, he could construct the entire context that led to this kind of situation in his mind.
There was a hierarchy among elentalists in terms of elental affinity. A powerful fireball could destroy a city, while a weak one could only produce a trembling fla that could be extinguished by a gentle breeze.
And in places like the slums, people didn’t have ti to cultivate, let alone if their talents were not sufficient to make them strong. Those with even a slight chance of standing out had long since fled this hell.
The ones left here could only wait day after day for the imminent hell that was tomorrow.
Putting aside the situation here, Qi could not have imagined that he could hide in this place, or rather, he had truly considered how to maximize the advantages of a weak person without burdening others.
Clearly, due to the chaos in this area, the arrogant heir Willard would absolutely not take the initiative to intervene before thoroughly exploring all the other places.
Ti was opportunity, ti was new possibilities.
Su Li dared to say that if he were in Qi’s position, he wouldn’t have done better.
Although all the plans were disrupted by Willard’s sudden actions.
Kidnapping people related to Qi, trying to lure him out… It was hard to even describe it as a last resort, using the analogy of being bitten by a rat in the sewer seed to fit quite well.
Su Li temporarily ignored the tangled thoughts in his mind and turned to ask Qi, “You should think about how to deal with Willard.”
Willard was not important, what was important was what Willard’s appearance in this city represented.
Instinct told him that this was another elaborate sche, requiring great effort to even vaguely outline the overall frawork…
—A grand conspiracy.
“Although this may seem arrogant, I had initially considered, if I had the upper hand in the confrontation with Willard, how I should respond to him. At that ti, my idea was to take him and ask my father, is talent really the only criterion?”
“But my current thinking has completely changed.” Qi bitterly smiled, “Because I feel that I have beco even more arrogant now. I don’t even think Willard is a person who can cause any trouble, and because of that, I always feel that sothing is not right, but I can’t figure it out.”
“Was he really raised with the identity of the heir to the country?” Qi questioned.
“I not only doubt this, I even feel that he is like a stone thrown into Sadina City, the purpose is not to create a huge splash, but to stir up ripples, so that people can observe what kind of commotion is needed…needed…”
Qi fell into another state of being unable to find the right words again.
“To make this city explode like a fuse-lit firework.” Su Li supplented the words Qi couldn’t finish.
Su Li affird Qi’s thoughts. “You’re right, because I feel the sa way.”
A long ti ago, when the water elental Crystal Winged Dragon Na’an caused massive destruction in Jisuo Town, and Euphia accepted the first reconstruction mission, Su Li already felt sothing was off.
But Su Li was not the kind of person who would completely confirm certain things based solely on intuition.
Therefore, in Su Li’s view, when the Church was both giving people money and unwilling to actively take charge of the reconstruction reputation of the Jisuo Town residents at that ti, Su Li felt that his intuition was not wrong.
But it was only at this mont that Su Li suddenly realized:
“—This is a way to kill with kindness.”
Su Li made such a judgnt.
His brain was like being wrapped in a bucket of ice water, not causing ntal rigidity, but rather making the brain operate at an accelerated speed, constantly accelerating and accelerating further.
Su Li’s breathing beca rapid, almost uncontrollably associating the connection between the events and how extensive it could be.
First, the first reconstruction of Jisuo Town represented that Sadina City was a city that valued the needs of the people, and the rcenaries who symbolized freedom were so passionately loving of life.
And the aid was a spontaneous action.
The second reconstruction mission, rather than calling it a reconstruction, it would be more accurate to say that Euphia’s father, Dean Asa, and even Egbert were all stationed in Jisuo Town. This actually already proved that they knew sothing in advance.
It doesn’t matter what they knew in advance, what’s important is that Su Li is very clear that the people around him are actually deliberately concealing information from him.
The network segnt of modern social slice research, which was not originally just a network segnt, if you query the network now, you will also find that the segnt is now cruel to the point of being unbearable in the past.
Su Li ignored one thing.
This is an era of divine power.
In the eyes of the people, the gods will always be magnified with so unnatural attributes, especially since this is a non-scientific world.
Su Li recalled the mory of going to the grocery store with Cyril to select a gift. At that ti, the personnel of the Order of the Knights of Light who ca from the Church of Light imdiately labeled Su Li as “abandoned by God” the mont they saw him.
Was Su Li’s information really completely sealed off?
When this doubt arose, Su Li could give an answer.
No.
Naturally no.
As long as Su Li didn’t live like a 24-hour hobody who never went out, his information was destined to be leaked. Moreover, Su Li now realizes that he has overlooked not just one problem.
Why was Egbert’s care for him only when following behind him, and not restricting his movents?
Unless he knew that it was impossible to restrict.
And thus, although Egbert did not take the initiative, when Lan Zhe proposed it, he chose to tacitly allow Su Li to enter Asa Academy.
Going to school is good, after all, Su Li’s appearance is just a teenager, or even a young boy.
To so extent, Egbert, who wholeheartedly cared for Su Li, did not actively propose this…
Su Li has never been so clear that the ga planner’s brain, in the eyes of those who are truly imrsed in certain ans, is so flimsy.
He heard himself calmly saying, “The purpose of Willard’s appearance is not just to kill you and then beco the heir, that kind of simple heir trial.”
This matter not only looks bizarre, but will also make people feel that the king’s brain is full of water.
“In order to kill his own brother, to complete the task of becoming the next ruler of the country, Sadina City, even as an autonomous region, cannot completely refuse Willard’s arrival. After all, Sadina City is still part of the country of Amikbi.”
“So the soldiers in the process of searching for you can naturally explore the defenses of this city, the gathering form of the people in this city, and the daily habits of the powerhouses in this city.”
“Most importantly, your mother, a Holy Maiden of Light.” Su Li looked at Qi.
“I’m not sure and can’t confirm whether the married Holy Maiden is still a direct mber of the Church. But I’m sure that a family that has married off a daughter will not expel the other party just because the child has ford a new small family.”
So the situation is now very clear. Sadina City’s reputation among the people is rising, Egbert publicly refuses to return to the Church of Light but stays in the rcenary City. Euphia’s father and Dean Asa can even predict the attack of the Level 9 monster beast…
This all indicates that the Church has an obvious, and possibly even influential, opposing force.
The reason for not using the term “hostile forces” is that the Dark Church is still in the shadows.
What is openly shown…
Is Euphia’s attempt to break free from the aristocratic financial control – the reform of the Sadina City rcenary hiring system.
It is also the defiant act of the forr Holy Son refusing to return.
And possibly the possibility of a seer existing in this city…
Su Li didn’t want to think of himself as that important, nor did he feel he was that important, but this is an era of divine power.
Ask any person in this world, do you believe that this world has prophets? They will only be unable to completely deny the existence of ghosts, just like the people in modern society.
After all, people often say, you can choose not to believe, but you must respect.
So if there is such a character, do you want to let him fall into the hands of the opposing forces, or in your own hands?
Su Li mysteriously felt a little tickling in his throat and coughed heavily a few tis.
Seeing Egbert worriedly trying to pat his back, Su Li raised his hand to stop him and continued his unfinished words.
“The struggle between divine power and the centralized power of a country, whether in the eyes of the Church or in the royal family of Amikbi, should not have a third party to disturb their conflict.”
Qi’s mother, that Holy Maiden of Light, is the best link.
What’s this?
Putting it this way, that woman is not completely using Qi?
