Chapter 122 - Fishing
After returning to Sadina City, Su Li went through several days of school and got used to this daily routine that could, from a certain perspective, be considered a professional life.
As for academics, Su Li, who originally couldn’t cultivate this world’s unique power, didn’t really feel any pressure.
Besides, his schooling was only arranged because Lan Zhe thought it was necessary for Su Li to be with peers his age. He didn’t think Su Li needed to accomplish anything earth-shattering, just to absorb some upward striving energy from the young children.
The tragedy that Cyril had once imagined still silently affected those who knew about it.
After getting used to this life, Su Li also received several purple gold coins from Lan Zhe.
Having learned about the existence of another world, Su Li didn’t feel he necessarily needed to delve deeply into it, but it wouldn’t do to remain completely ignorant.
It was like the ancient saying about being shortsighted and self-important—truly dangerous.
However, when Su Li accepted this money from Lan Zhe, he didn’t forget to clarify, “Consider this money a loan.”
The startup funds for Castor’s re
Facing various novel things, he also couldn’t go alone. Because going out alone meant he could die in an unknown corner at any time.
Ignoring these compromises, Diz had later told Euphia, “The Church of Light intends to target the ‘Prophet’.”
The death of the Pope of Light was truly no small matter.
Natural aging and death would have been fine, but he was surrounded and killed.
An old man who had lived for so many years couldn’t possibly have no power in his hands.
As for those patriarchs who wanted to push Diz or “Xiao Zuo” into power, their starting point wasn’t just that the church must have a pope.
But rather....only if the person who became pope also had the intention to murder the prophet could all members of the Church of Light truly act in the name of God.
After all, the pope had always been equivalent to God’s spokesperson in the human realm.
This matter might not seem obvious at present, but Sadina City had ordinary people and nobility besides mercenaries.
Among the ordinary people and nobility, at least half were believers of the God of Light.
In that half, even if only 1% were fanatics, once they received ambiguous messages from the patriarchs, they would inevitably take action against Su Li.
Su Li, who already found it difficult to have freedom, now couldn’t go out without the Raven staying close by his side.
When two children went out together, no one believed that Cyril could protect Su Li.
On the contrary, them going out together looked more like…
Fishing.
Su Li’s eyes flashed as he hung the money bag given by Lan Zhe on his waist. Then he changed the subject with Cyril and talked about tonight’s dinner.
However, unexpectedly, during their journey to Castor’s research base, they didn’t discover anything, and while communicating with Castor about new research directions and goals, there were no signs of traitors or the like among the people at the base.
Just as Su Li was doubting whether this was indeed a fishing expedition, a large group of people wearing white robes, with their faces covered, surrounded the two of them.
The leader, upon seeing Su Li, said, “Prophet who defies the great work of the God of Light, today you shall die here.”
Even though their faces couldn’t be seen clearly, Su Li felt the overly sharp gaze.
“Before you make your move, can I ask a question?” Su Li said, not giving others time to react. With his calm, distant green eyes, he directly asked, “Your so-called great work of the God of Light, does it refer to keeping the human race as penned livestock?”
