The reason why Bruce said it was difficult to defeat, but did not say it was impossible, was because the gold-level powerhouse mastered the secrets of the profession.
Vakarn, who only knows healing spells, can hardly resist arcane attacks.
Even if Vakan stacks up hundreds of shields, he can't defend against it.
This is not a simple "1+1" algorithm.
This is the absolute advantage of qualitative change over quantitative change.
Seeing Bruce so excited, Sost didn't bother to argue with him.
In Sost's eyes, only level is everything.
Without level, there is no strength.
Someone uses a level 5 spell to hit you with a level 4 spell. No matter how proficient you are in level 4 spells, can you still block the energy of someone else's level 5 spell?
Therefore, he didn't bother to argue with Bruce.
"Okay, okay, you said a genius is a genius. Now that we have eaten, it's time to do business. Just ask your disciples to accompany me. As for the rest of you, go and do whatever you want. This is not your business. Those who can participate should not pry or ask. Otherwise, you will get yourself into trouble."
After being warned by Sost, everyone did not dare to have other thoughts and immediately nodded "yes".
"Weiss, go with the Holy Envoy and do whatever he asks you to do. Don't resist him. When the matter is over, I will take you back to the Holy Court."
Bruce gave a few simple instructions to the confused disciple.
There is no other way. I originally wanted to make friends with others, but now Sost's attitude is not to mention making friends, just don't offend the dead.
That man couldn't seek revenge from Sost, so he would definitely put the blame on Bruce.
Although Bruce is old, he is still a gold-level strongman and is not afraid of that person's revenge.
But his disciple is a bit stupid, and because he is weaker than that person, he really can't beat him.
It's better to leave early. No matter how Sost dealt with that person, he didn't want to know or get involved.
The teacher's mysterious behavior made Vakan very uneasy.
He wanted to ask what was going on, but unexpectedly a big hand reached out, grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
"Boy, don't wait! Let's set off. You're lucky, my Silver Flash is rarely ridden by outsiders. I'm giving you an advantage today."
With that said, regardless of everyone's surprise, he carried Vakan out of the door and walked towards his mount Feilong.
When everyone chased them out, they only saw the flying dragon taking off and flying out of the city with the two of them.
"Hey, that direction is to the west?"
"Simian? Is there anything strange?"
"To the west, isn't it the location of Tarn Village?"
"Tarn Village, Vakaan, you mean..."
"Don't say it, don't say it. The Holy Messenger said it, we don't need to know it."
"Yes, yes, yes, let's go for a walk. We happened to eat too much today."
A group of people, after guessing who the Holy Messenger was looking for, were so frightened that they quickly found reasons to leave the church, planning to go out and hide and wait for the Holy Messenger to leave before coming back.
"Bruce, you actually..." Bishop Noyes also guessed the Holy Envoy's goal, and looked at Bruce with a complicated expression.
"I'm sorry, Robert, you can't participate in this matter, otherwise it will harm you. I have to bear the consequences now. I just hope that guy Sost doesn't go too far, otherwise the church will be in chaos again. It's not easy for that lineage to appear. If one of the heirs is really harmed by that guy, there will definitely be a huge commotion!"
"Oh, you were told this to me, and I don't know anything. I'm just an ordinary bishop. The city lord asked me to have tea, so I'll leave first."
Noyce made a lame excuse, abandoned Bruce, and left.
Bruce smiled bitterly, looked in the west direction and murmured: "I hope nothing happens! Otherwise, I will be in big trouble!"
Vakan was thrown sideways onto the flying dragon and was held down by Sost like cargo, without any flying experience.
But he looked at the scenery on the ground below and the direction in which he was already flying, and he somewhat guessed Sost's purpose.
Wakan shouted loudly: "Sir, are we going to Tarn Village?"
Sost also shouted loudly: "Oh, so it's called Tarn Village? Then we are going to Tarn Village."
Vakan shouted again: "Sir, are you going to visit Father Ryan?"
Sost shouted: "Don't ask! Just lead the way! The wind and snow are so strong, aren't you tired of shouting like this?"
Knowing that Sost was unwilling to tell him the answer, Vakan began to think about whether he should deliberately lead the wrong way.
But after thinking about it, they were in the sky now, and the nearby villages were clearly visible. Even if they went to the wrong one, Sost would know the location of Tarn Village just by asking.
Even if he delayed, he still couldn't notify Ryan, and instead offended the Holy Envoy for no reason. He might as well lead the people there and wait until the time comes.
So, under the leadership of Vakan, the two of them rode the flying dragon, wandered around the back mountain for a while, and then descended towards the cemetery behind the church.
Thanks to the fact that it is still early spring, it is still snowing lightly.
Otherwise, a flying dragon hovering over the village would have been spotted long ago.
But the falling snow has become the protective color of the silver-white flying dragon, making it blend into the environment.
Walking out of the cemetery, the two quickly arrived at the door of the church.
Blocking the door that was almost covered with snow, the two of them couldn't help but feel a "thump" in their hearts, and different thoughts flashed through them.
Sost felt bad, while Vakan was a little happy.
"Although it's snowing today, looking at the extent of the snow here, have the people inside not been out for several days?"
Soos asked pointedly, feeling that Vakan was playing tricks on him.
Vakan explained: "About half a year ago, Father Ryan moved to the church and lived in semi-seclusion. There is nothing to do in winter, so it is not surprising that he does not go out."
Sost glared at Vakan: "It's spring now."
Wakan spread his hands and said, "But winter hasn't completely left yet. Isn't there still heavy snow and road closures?"
"Hmph! It's best like this. If I know you're playing tricks on me, you'll be better off."
Sost threw out a threat and punched the door.
A wave of air blew away the snow at the door and knocked open the church door.
boom!
The door opened, and the air waves carried the snow and drifted into the hall.
The two walked into the church one after another, but found that something was wrong.
"The thickness of the accumulated dust here means that no one has been here for at least a month. Are you sure that person named Ryan lives here?"
Vakan explained: "Well, go to the bedroom and have a look. He uses the office as a bedroom. Go there and have a look, and we will know clearly."
The two of them walked all the way to the office, but saw an empty room with four benches and nothing else.
"They're not here!"
"Maybe he's back to the village. We can go to the village chief's house to see him."
Seeing the holy envoy showing signs of anger, he suggested.
"Then why bother? Just lead the way."
The two of them walked all the way down and soon arrived at the tavern.
Sost looked at the signboard of the tavern and asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say you were looking for the village chief? What are you doing in the tavern?"
Vakan hurriedly explained: "The last time I came here was three years ago. I heard that the village had been reorganized a long time ago. I don't know where the village chief's home is. But the people in the tavern must know, even We can also ask to see if anyone has seen Father Ryan and the others."
Sost thought it made sense, and the two immediately opened the door and walked in.
The business in the tavern is a bit bleak. Due to differences with the villagers, the villagers no longer come to the tavern to spend money now.
The main consumer group of adventurers has not yet returned to their hometown because of the Divine Grace Festival.
It is estimated that adventurers will not gather until the ice and snow melt and the earth recovers.
Therefore, the tavern, which had almost no business all winter, was naturally deserted.
However, Makina was sitting quietly behind the bar today, wiping her wine glass in boredom.
It had been more than half a year, and Leo hadn't come to see her, and she didn't dare to disturb Leo and Ryan.
She felt that when the two people's anger subsided, they would naturally come back. After all, the accommodation conditions in the church are so poor, how long can you stay there?
Unexpectedly, the two of them persisted for half a year just to be angry with her, and they didn't even come back for God's Day.
She was hesitant now, wondering whether she should be subdued and invite the person back.
Apparently, she still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
"Makina, you are indeed here."
A strange voice reached her ears. She looked up and saw a strange priest wearing black robes and a white wall.
White walls? Are there white walls in the pub?
After reacting, Makina quickly stood up and took a closer look. What kind of white wall was this? There was obviously a man who looked like a wall!
"I am Makina, who are you?"
"I am Vakan, the priest Vakan who fought with you in the tavern three years ago."
"Three years ago? Priest?" Makina thought for a moment in confusion, and suddenly said: "I remembered, it turned out to be you. Are you promoted to a priest? Congratulations, congratulations."
Makina's words made Vakan suddenly feel that he had come to the wrong place.
It’s been almost two years since he was promoted to priest. Didn’t Ryan tell Makina about it? It seemed that the relationship between Makina and Ryan was not as good as he imagined.
But why does Ryan want to take Makina's daughter to play? Is it because he just likes her daughter?
"Okay, Vakan, don't say any unnecessary pleasantries. Woman, let me ask you, do you know where the priest in the back mountain has gone?"
"The priest in the back mountain?" Makina was stunned for a moment, looked at the rude man and asked: "You mean Father Ryan? Aren't they staying in the church properly?"
Makina's answer disappointed the two of them.
It seems that this woman doesn't know where Ryan is going.
"Can you please tell us how to get to the village chief's house? We want to visit the village chief."
Since this woman doesn't know where Ryan is going, the village chief should know.
There's no way Ryan could have left without telling the village chief, right?
"The village chief's house is right behind the tavern, about a hundred meters away in the yard."
Makina pointed out the location of the village chief's house, and then asked curiously: "By the way, what do you want from Ryan? Do you need me to help you deliver a message to the church?"
"Thank you, no need." Vakan refused coldly, but did not explain anything.
The two left the tavern and walked towards the village chief's house.
Makina thought for a while and felt uneasy. She immediately asked the waitress she hired to help look after the store. She put on her coat and walked towards the church on the hillside.
The two of them quickly found Ron's home.
"Village Chief Ron, we are from the church in the city. We would like to ask if you know where Father Ryan from the church has gone?"
"Father Ryan? They, I actually don't know where they went? To be honest, I never saw them again on the Night of Divine Grace. At that time, I wanted to ask him to help save people. But I didn't expect that I When I go to the church, it’s already deserted.”
The village chief's words finally confirmed their suspicions.
Father Ryan ran away, or ran away for almost a month.
Just when the two were about to say goodbye, the village chief suddenly said something.
"However, on the morning of Divine Grace, some villagers saw Makina's daughter Jasmine bringing gifts home from the church. It stands to reason that she should be the last person to see Father Ryan. Maybe she knows the whereabouts of the priest. . However, please don’t spread the news of the priest’s departure. We plan to rely on his reputation to attract more customers!”
Seeing the village chief's philistine appearance, Vakarn didn't know what to say and could only leave the village chief's house in frustration.
Outside the door, Sost suddenly said: "There is something wrong with that village chief."
"Huh?" Vakan looked at him puzzled.
Sost said: "When he mentioned Father Ryan, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. However, he is too weak and cannot be that Ryan's opponent. Unless you exaggerate Ryan's strength."
"Do you still want to meet that Jasmine?"
"Forget it. Jasmine is just a seven-year-old child. Ryan probably left secretly on the night of Divine Grace. No one was alerted. How could he tell a child his whereabouts."
Sost felt that Vakan's words made sense and immediately stopped forcing him.
The two returned to the cemetery on the hillside, rode on the flying dragon, and flew towards the city.
But they didn't know that Jasmine did know when and where Ryan left.
They missed a favorable opportunity to chase down the two Nocks.
