Chapter 650: Chapter 17: Sches 2
Of course, it’s not certain, but Hewinia is also prepared for Edwin’s manipulation.
But in any case, waiting indefinitely is definitely not right. What if Bai Wei has already started fighting on his end and she’s still in the dark, guarding this useless bait? Wouldn’t that be ridiculous?
So Hewinia decided to take a more proactive approach. She looked at Edwin and said, “If you don’t have a better plan, I think it would be better to listen to .”
“You still want to lure the others here?” Edwin said sowhat helplessly, “But how can you be sure that I’m bringing in the holder of the Corpse Blocks and not the armies of the various churches?”
“It’s simple,” Hewinia slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, “Take your ‘truth’ out of the dreamscape.”
Edwin was stunned.
…
Naless Town.
Upon hearing this location, everyone present fell into a brief silence, exchanging looks that could not be deciphered, and no one spoke.
Finally, it was Bai Wei who leisurely said, “Is my news too shocking, or is everyone not in the mood to speak today?”
“Haha, it is indeed shocking.” Without waiting for Diana and Rocky to speak, Isaiah was the first to speak up, he looked at Bai Wei’s brilliant left eye with aningful eyes and said, “We didn’t expect you to bring us the location of the ‘Tongue’ so quickly, it seems you’ve always been by his side, Mr. ‘Hand Eye’.”
“Isn’t this common knowledge?” Bai Wei responded with a smile, “Ever since he left Wildfire, he’s been on the run, and I’ve been chasing him non-stop. But now he’s stopped, right in the Black rchant’s headquarters in Naless Town, and here I am, bringing the news to you all at the first opportunity. But… is it my illusion, you don’t seem very surprised, could it be that you already knew he was there?”
“Haha, you’re joking, Mr. Hand Eye.” Diana said blandly, “Apart from you, who else has the capability to track Mr. ‘Tongue’, who possesses three Corpse Blocks? I’m just lanting that Naless Town is too far from , I fear I won’t be able to partake in the hunt you’ve organized.”
“Is that so? That’s truly unfortunate.”
Under the virtual shadow, Diana furrowed her brows tightly.
She had just obtained the location of the tongue and regarded it as her advantage, but before this advantage could even warm up, she hadn’t even had the chance to send more servants to Naless Town, then Hand Eye had already announced the location of the tongue.
Is this a coincidence?
Diana wasn’t sure, so she chose to distance herself and observe to see what exactly was going on.
While Diana wanted to hold back and observe, Rocky next to her couldn’t sit still.
What the hell?! Naless Town?!
Isn’t that right next to him? He’s in the No-man’s Land, about half a day’s journey from Naless Town.
Such a large piece… no, three pieces of Corpse Blocks right under his nose?! How could Rocky not be excited?
But his excitent didn’t last long, and he quickly forced himself to calm down.
Calm down, don’t let these guys realize I’m the closest to the tongue!
Rocky thought to himself.
Finally, it was Isaiah, who after the initial question hadn’t spoken again, just sitting there quietly as usual, making it impossible for others to read what he was thinking.
Only Bai Wei knew he was the only one present right in Naless Town.
“Mr. ‘Hand Eye’.” Diana spoke again, “Can you tell why Mr. ‘Tongue’ would go to Naless Town?”
“Hmm?” Bai Wei looked at Diana with a half-smile, “You really don’t know?”
“Is this sothing I should know?”
“Is that so? But I think you should all know.” Bai Wei shrugged, “After all, everyone here is a pillar of their respective churches, right?”
At this, Rocky’s heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, does Hand Eye know his identity already?!
But how does he know?!
Countless doubts surged in Rocky’s mind, making him instinctively want to slam the table and question Hand Eye, but he realized that neither his right eye nor his naless finger moved at all, still sitting there just fine, and then he realized.
This guy… could he just be bluffing them?
So he cald down too, without a word.
After looking around left and right, Bai Wei shrugged with feigned regret: “All right, looks like this trick is still a bit low-level.”
… This damn guy really is bluffing them!
It’s a good thing he’s clever.
Rocky thought to himself.
“Since I can’t be sure if you all know, I’ll just say it straight.” Bai Wei said calmly, “It’s a hunt organized by the Eight Great Churches and the Contract Land against and the ‘Tongue’…”
Then, Bai Wei revealed the entire matter about the gathering at Contract Land. Although, in a sense, the three present were the organizers of this gathering, no one knew more about it than they did, yet they still had to pretend as if they were hearing it for the first ti, listening attentively while occasionally asking questions to highlight “this has nothing to do with , I know nothing.”
Although such disguise was of poor quality, everyone knew they were acting, but it couldn’t be helped.
Only Rocky kept frowning, cursing silently in his heart.
How could sothing so confidential be known by this guy? Which church leaked the information, damn it!
After Bai Wei finished speaking, Diana spoke again, “Since he already knows there’s a gathering against him, why go there? Is it to disrupt this gathering, or is it…”
“I think he probably wants to muddy the waters,” Bai Wei smiled, intercepting.
“Muddy the waters?” Isaiah asked, “What’s that supposed to an?”
“I can think of two reasons,” Bai Wei said, “The first is, after entering No-man’s Land, he becos much harder for to track. After all, the Eight Great Churches and people from Contract Land are inside, even I wouldn’t dare to be as blatant as before, so the likelihood of losing him is high. As for the second one…”
“If he dies at the hands of the church, then the three Corpse Blocks will be divided by the Eight Great Churches. In that case, we get nothing, is that what you an?” Isaiah asked.
Bai Wei laughed, “Although I don’t know if that’s what he thinks, it’s at least what I think. Of course, I think Miss Naless Finger also makes a point; he doesn’t know if the Eight Great Churches and Contract Land have so ans to find him. So, to be safe, he definitely wants to stop this gathering, and he wants to pull all of us in because if he fails, the Corpse Blocks will fall into others’ hands, and we get nothing.”
The three fell into silence again, even Rocky was caught up in internal conflict.
Although Rocky understood that as Bishop Rhein, and since Rhein was the initiator of the gathering, he should do everything he could to push the gathering to completion.
But the problem is… those are three Corpse Blocks, are they really going to let the Eight Great Churches and Contract Land divide them?
Moreover, the gathering was called because it was thought that soone already possessed four to five Corpse Blocks, and since the Supre felt it couldn’t be resolved, the gathering was convened. But the reality is that guy doesn’t have five Corpse Blocks, just three, and among them doesn’t include the eye that Rhein most wants to reclaim.
So if the gathering really happens and the Eight… no, the Six Great Churches, using the power of the Contract Land, kill the ‘Tongue’, it’s still just three Corpse Blocks. How will they divide them then?
But if without the help of the gathering, he finds a way to take out the ‘Tongue’ himself and obtain those three Corpse Blocks, even if he doesn’t use them, bringing them back to Rhein would be a significant accomplishnt.
But can he really handle that guy?
Rocky was very conflicted.
“Regardless of what you all are considering, please make a decision soon.” Bai Wei added a last bit of pressure, “Once he dies at the hands of the church, we won’t have any opportunity left.”
