(1) Pfft!
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
Herman directly spat.
Why did Virgil’s attitude change so drastically?
Just before he was calling Ron a despicable cultist, and in the blink of an eye he became a good person?
Shameless!
Isn’t your face-changing speed a bit too fast?
At the same time, Herman felt a strong sense of betrayal and anger.
Virgil was clearly someone on his side, so why was he now speaking for Ron?
Damn bastard, Aurelia, Virgil… Why are they all betraying him?
Why?
… [Ding, system prompt, congratulations to the host for successfully surviving, you have obtained mission reward, one ten-draw ticket.] [Congratulations to the host, the draw function has been unlocked!] The small crisis has been resolved!
The system has unlocked a new function again!
Virgil forced a smile on his stiff face, uglier than crying: “Mr.
Ron, everything before was a misunderstanding, and there is one more thing you said wrong.
I am a clergy member, how could I casually kill people?” “Please don’t slander my innocence out of thin air!” These damn strong people always love playing the act of pretending to be weak to prey on the strong!
Do they really get great pleasure and satisfaction from teasing weaklings like him?
What kind of crappy fetish is this?
Don’t their conscience hurt?
Ron temporarily ignored the changes in the system, he only scoffed at Virgil’s words.
Slandering innocence?
What, do you think you’re Kong Yiji?
Still talking about being clergy and not casually killing people?
In the entire Church of the Goddess of Dawn, you’re the one who has killed the most people.
Even followers of the Lord of Blood and Destruction would have to call you ancestor.
In the game, Virgil was a very unconventional character.
In the early stage his strength was not particularly strong, but he seemed to have fate’s blessing.
When the original Ron became an evil spirit and created the Lanaka Massacre, thousands of clergy died, yet Virgil survived.
Afterward, Lanaka City was destroyed, even Gerald, the strongest, fell there, yet Virgil still survived.
With the decline of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, numerous forces besieged it, experts suffered heavy casualties, yet Virgil remained alive.
Until the fourth part, when the Church of the Goddess of Dawn hit rock bottom, Virgil’s rise finally came.
With his powerful strength, he quickly eliminated all opposition within the Church, and led the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, using extremely ruthless methods to wipe out enemy forces one by one.
Wherever he went, he killed, until no one dared oppose the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, until the Church regained its footing.
Unfortunately, he committed too many killings, and the Church of the Goddess of Dawn had always upheld the doctrine of mercy and tolerance.
This made Virgil a thorn in the eyes of many conservative clergy, and in the end he was sent to the stake by his own people!
In short, this is a guy with limitless potential.
And the martial world is not just about fighting and killing, it is also about human relationships!
Ron did not want to completely fall out with such a person.
He smiled and withdrew his arms: “Just a joke, you wouldn’t mind, right?” “Actually, I don’t have any malice toward the clergy of the Goddess of Dawn.
I just have a small conflict with Herman.” “If possible, I hope to maintain a good relationship with the bishop, it would be beneficial for both of us, wouldn’t it?” Virgil let out a sigh of relief: “It is my honor, respected sir.” Then he lowered his voice and asked quietly: “Sir, how do you know about Aiseya?
How much do you know?
What else do you know?” “I only know what I know.” Seeing Virgil’s confused expression, Ron sighed in disappointment, no one catching the joke really feels lonely.
He coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness: “Mr.
Virgil, I know Aiseya is a very beautiful nun, but… do you really understand her?” Virgil said confidently: “Of course, I am not a fool who would be blinded by beauty.
I have investigated Aiseya’s background, it is very clean.” “What if I say that Aiseya will send you to the stake?” Virgil’s pupils shrank sharply, his expression darkened, his flickering gaze showing he was thinking rapidly: “Why do you say that?” “Aiseya is a spy planted by the Spong Theocracy and the Church of the Heart of Nature…” “If others find out that you have deep interactions with a spy of the Spong Theocracy… Bishop Virgil, what do you think will happen?” “That would be the crime of treason and heresy.” Virgil had been clever all his life, but when it came to the woman beside him, he had no suspicion at all.
After all, when Virgil rose, he and Sister Aiseya had been together for more than twenty years, and even when Virgil was at his lowest, Aiseya never abandoned him.
Virgil never dreamed that this woman, who was almost his wife, would betray him in the end.
Under Virgil’s leadership, the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and the Granville Kingdom prospered.
For the Spong Theocracy and the Church of the Heart of Nature, who had always coveted the territory and wealth of the Granville Kingdom, Virgil became their greatest enemy.
To kill Virgil, they used all kinds of methods, all failed.
In the end, they manipulated things from afar, forcing Aiseya to expose her identity, which led to Virgil being burned at the stake for treason and heresy.
A cold light flashed in Virgil’s eyes.
He did not completely believe Ron’s words, but after being reminded, he indeed felt that Aiseya’s usual behavior carried a hint of strangeness.
She offered her body and attached herself to the bishop.
Yet she never sought power nor pursued wealth.
Then what exactly does she want?
Virgil did not believe there could be someone so pure and clean in this world.
And such a person would not offer her body just to cling to a bishop!
He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Ron: “Mr.
Ron, thank you for your guidance.
I will never forget this favor.” “If there is ever anything you need from me in the future, please feel free to ask.
As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse.” What a cunning guy.
He seemed sincere, but clearly left himself room.
After finishing his exchange with Ron, Virgil stepped back two paces.
Only then did Archbishop Gerald and Aurelia step forward.
Gerald’s gaze toward Ron was very complicated.
Although he had already changed his opinion once, he still underestimated this man.
To suppress Virgil with just a few words was not something an ordinary person could do.
Gerald quickly adjusted his mood and returned to his benevolent expression: “Mr.
Ron, you seem to know us very well.
That’s good, it saves us the trouble of introductions.” “I have an impolite question, I wonder if I may ask it!” Ron smiled: “Please.” “I want to know, what realm is your current strength in?” Gerald asked a very sharp question right away.
Ron did not hesitate at all: “Transcendent Two-Star!” Eh~~~ A wave of disdainful sounds could clearly be heard around, even Aurelia was no exception.
Transcendent Two-Star?
Who are you trying to fool?
Transcendent Two-Star is barely stronger than ordinary people.
Could someone like that slap Herman, who is Panic-tier, flying?
Could he intimidate Virgil, who is Disaster-tier?
If you are Transcendent Two-Star, I, Gerald, will read my name backwards.
Not even a dog would believe it.
Unless you strengthened all your trash equipment to +13… but that’s even more ridiculous than saying Ron is Transcendent Two-Star.
Seeing the suspicious gazes around him, Ron’s expression turned strange.
He spread his hands: “Believe me, I really am Transcendent Two-Star.” He had just reached that level after completing a mission.
Everyone around nodded, fine, fine, you say Transcendent Two-Star, then Transcendent Two-Star it is.
If you want to hide your strength, just say so.
No one is going to force you to reveal everything.
At least make your lies more believable.
Ron was speechless.
He rarely told the truth, so why does no one believe him?
In this world, being an honest person is really hard.
