Chapter 910: Chapter 748: Faith in the God of Light_3

“Since that’s the case, why won’t you let me go back?” Zuo Fang frowned and said.

“You should stabilize the situation in the Eastern Continent first.”

“What about your side?” Zuo Fang stared at him.

“I just dealt with Wald XVIII earlier, consumed a great deal of energy. The rest is probably your responsibility.”

“But aren’t you still planning to head to Rheine City?”

“Yes, just paying a visit.”

“…”

Zuo Fang stared at him for a while, then spread his hands and said, “Alright, then I will handle the remaining matters.”

Xu Shuo slumped in his chair without replying.

He tilted his head slightly, his emotionless gaze falling on the corner of the room, at the cleaned-up corpse dealt with by the guards.

The battle with Wald XVIII had indeed drained him immensely.

Due to the frantic use of spiritual power, the energy stored in the violin from before was completely depleted, forcing him to draw spiritual power from the two contracted souls.

The bride’s side wasn’t much of a concern.

After all, the other party had long been aware of the price they would pay upon entering into the contract. If the grudge power was consumed excessively, they could retreat to Prague Castle at any time for rest.

But the other party…

Would likely have to leave things up to fate.

Only, after being drained several times like this, that person might very well respond in some way.

Xu Shuo propped his elbow, resting his chin, his mind wandering idly.

…

Late at night.

The Knight Order of the Holy Court returned.

The lower city-states surrounding the Royal Capital were already under control, ensuring that when they launched their attack against Fahl City’s military district, they wouldn’t face assaults from these city-states for the time being.

Afterward, the Order of the Sun Knights and the Bright Moon Knight Order openly made their way to Fahl City, while Zuo Fang led the Radiant Star Knight Order to hide their tracks and proceed in secret.

Though the captain of the Radiant Star Knight Order…

Didn’t quite understand why their team would be led by the captain of the Order of the Sun Knights.

But upon considering that the other party was the Chief Knight of the Pope…

It was what it was…

…

Once all matters were arranged.

Constantinople suddenly felt eerily quiet and vacant.

Catalina stood by the window, watching the silent movement of people and city-states in the night. Then she turned her head and looked toward the young man resting quietly in the chair, his eyes closed.

“Are you not going to act?”

In the empty room, aside from a headless corpse, the only sounds were Catalina’s footsteps and speech.

It felt as though she were the only living person present.

When Catalina approached the chair.

Xu Shuo opened his eyes, his gaze calm as it met a pair of pale eyes that seemed evasive.

“What, you want to tag along too?”

“It’s not like I have anything better to do…” Catalina fidgeted with the small braid near her temple.

“My target, Wald XVIII, has already been dealt with. You’re temporarily free now, you don’t need to follow anymore,” Xu Shuo said flatly.

“Temporarily?”

Catalina immediately raised her eyebrows, her expression visibly displeased.

Xu Shuo glanced at her indifferently.

Catalina glared at him. “Hey, clarify what you mean. Don’t think I didn’t hear you talking to that old guy earlier—I’m not your captive!”

Xu Shuo, however, said ambiguously, “If you still plan to tag along, then next you’ll have to oppose your own elder sister—it’s a fight to the death.”

Catalina’s pupils shrank abruptly.

Moments later.

She processed his words.

“Wait, weren’t you telling the Sun Knight earlier that you were heading to Rheine City? My sister is there?”

“No, I’ve decided to change plans temporarily.”

Xu Shuo shifted his position, leaning his head into his hand.

Though he wasn’t sure of the current state of the City of Light.

His mental state was becoming increasingly fatigued, which meant the Statue of Light was still being damaged, and the Holy Maiden might not be able to withstand the rogue envoy from the Heresy Tribunal.

Even with the Priesthood providing support, it wouldn’t make a difference.

The importance of the Statue of Light had far exceeded what he initially imagined.

The connection between the Pope of Light and the Statue of Light.

Was absolutely not as simple as the exercise of faith!

Considering that Catalina’s Dawn-bearing spirit Sacred Tree of the Elves had already been destroyed, her current state was far from being as worn-down as his.

This was distinctly abnormal.

If things continued this way…

Xu Shuo might end up laid out until the end of the story.
