Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Looting a Burning House (4th Update)
“`
Speaking of which, he was remotely controlling a mechanical beetle with his phone, making it circle around the square.
Anastasia couldn’t help but nod in admiration, “Karsath, I didn’t expect you old bones to still be able to handle such high-tech gadgets!”
Karsath grumbled a bit displeasedly, “Miss Tassia, I hope you understand that as a Necromancer, I am still a youth at just over twelve hundred years old!”
Anastasia snorted disdainfully, “A youth, you say? A youth whose head spouts smoke when he takes a puff of his cigar?”
Fan Mengxue originally didn’t want to laugh, but hearing what Anastasia said, and recalling the image from before, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
With a snort, Fan Mengxue laughed out loud.
Hearing Fan Mengxue’s laughter, Karsath, who had been feeling a bit embarrassed, couldn’t help but feel smug again.
“Ahem, no matter what you say, it seems Miss Mengxue is quite fond of me, right?” Karsath looked at Fan Mengxue full of hope.
Of course, this hopeful expression could only be discerned from the two dancing flames in his eye sockets.
After spending the past few days together, Fan Mengxue had already become familiar with Karsath’s personality.
Chasing trends, flirting at every turn, rooted in place at the sight of a beautiful woman, and always feeling irresistibly handsome – he was incredibly narcissistic.
These were the most prominent traits of Karsath.
As Anastasia put it, it was a good thing his sect had perished at the hands of the Church in the middle ages; otherwise, even if they had survived to the present day, he would have infuriated them to death.
Thus, Fan Mengxue responded with a polite smile and discreetly shifted a little further away.
Now Karsath truly felt awkward.
Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly uttered a light “Huh?”
“Huh, aren’t those the Dark Druids?” Karsath pointed at the image of the Dark Druid High Priest To Ran and his company on the screen.
Anastasia looked and couldn’t help but frown.
“To Ran and his bunch have such nerve? To actually stroll around in the Sacred Square?”
Karsath curled his lip, “These guys aren’t like us; they all worship the Force of Nature, and if they don’t use it, they’re no different from ordinary people! Naturally, they aren’t afraid of the Church of Light’s checks! But I am curious, what are these guys doing here?”
Just as Karsath said, To Ran had brought a group of his followers to the Sacred Square.
Their purpose was simple: they wanted to see if there was an opportunity to exploit.
Compared to other forces and their deep hatred for the Church of Light, the Dark Druids didn’t have such strong animosity. This time, they purely wanted to take advantage of the chaos and pocket some benefits.
However, after To Ran had made a round, he didn’t find anything unusual and couldn’t help feeling somewhat disdainful.
David, watching from a distance, was fixedly staring at To Ran, whispering into his button intercom, “It seems like the Dark Druids. These guys showing up too, it seems the situation is getting more complicated!”
The bearded man, busy tending to his business, smiled and nodded to a customer. But when he turned around, he whispered, “This affair has startled even the most hidden of the dark forces. Continue to observe, especially for any members of the Dark Council!”
“Yes!”
David responded, quickly gulping down the last of his sandwich, and was about to stand up when,
a low chant began to drift out from the Church of Light’s grand cathedral.
David was momentarily stunned, then his eyes widened in surprise.
Not just him, everyone in the square was taken aback.
Because the chant was astonishingly beautiful, as if… there were truly angels murmuring.
A faint holy light began to rise from the ground, gradually ascending from the statue standing in the square, while the chanting became clearer and clearer.
