Chapter 408 The Price of Using the Devil

In the all-white classical office building, the two high priests had been waiting for a long time.

One male and one female.

Like Sang Lan, he looks to be around 30 years old, has a calm temperament, and has the dignity of a superior.

They sat at the round table.

The man's name was Uri, the high priest of the Church of the Sun in Paris. His black suit was bulging out from his powerful torso, he had neat short hair, a resolute face, sharp eyebrows, and a very philosophical air.

He is over two meters tall and is a big guy. Even when he sits, he is taller than ordinary people.

The woman's name was Givenchy, a very Frankish name. She was the high priestess of the Moonlight Church in Paris. She had long, elegant hair and a very beautiful appearance. Her slender figure was covered by a light and flowing robe. She was a quiet and elegant woman.

Seeing Sang Lan coming, Wu Li said, "You asked us to come out, but you were the last one to arrive. What does that mean? What exactly do you want to talk about today?"

"Uri, you're getting a little excited."

Givenchy smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sang Lan, who is the gentleman next to you? Is he related to today's meeting? If not, please ask him to step aside."

While he was trying to smooth things over, he suddenly said something naughty.

As you can imagine, Sang Lan's sudden change of mind made the two men dissatisfied, so they held a small meeting temporarily and have now formed a strategic partnership. If Sang Lan doesn't know what's good for them, then don't blame them for joining forces to lower the price.

"This is my secretary. He must be present."

"Where is the former secretary?"

"died."

"..." x2
Sang Lan was full of anger, and anyone with eyesight could see it.

Uri touched his head and frowned, "What on earth happened? You look... a little different today than before."

Givenchy nodded: "There is indeed some difference. It seems to have become more beautiful."

"Because of love!" Wayne interrupted.

"..." x3
Sang Lan closed her eyes expressionlessly. The two high priests looked at Wayne at the same time, wondering how a bag carrier could have the courage to interrupt such an important meeting.

What kind of level is this? There's not even a seat. Is this your place to interrupt?

The two high priests were quite dissatisfied. Their subordinates were unruly and Sang Lan didn't know how to teach them a lesson.

Soon, the two figured it out.

No wonder there were some changes, it turns out it was because of love!
Now that makes sense! x2
Uri grinned, and Givenchy covered his mouth to hide his teeth, both of them had a teasing look in their eyes. The latter even gossiped, "Sang Lan, why don't you share it with your sisters? When did this happen? You hid it so well. I didn't hear anything at all..."

"I have to say, you two look quite compatible."

"When you were sixty, was he in primary school?"

Judging from the sarcastic tone, one can imagine that these are also fake sisters.

"Shut up!"

Sang Lan slapped the table, her whole body shaking with anger. Since she couldn't deal with Wayne, she decided to deal with Givenchy and Uri. She said coldly, "I called you here because I have something very important to discuss. The intelligence is wrong. The devil behind the Black Reason Cult is not just the 'troll' Andrius. Those mutants were deliberately released to mislead us."

"..." x2
The two high priests were both stunned.

Uri shook his head and said firmly: "Impossible, the intelligence we gathered together cannot be wrong."

Givenchy frowned: "Sang Lan, where did you get the new information? It's of great importance. Please explain clearly."

"I can't explain it clearly. I suspect there is a traitor among us!"

Sang Lan glanced at the two of them and said, "One of you betrayed your faith and turned to hell to become a minion of the devil, which led to the strategic misjudgment of the Life Alliance and allowed the Black Reasoning Cult to develop into its current size in Paris."

"Sang Lan, don't talk nonsense. This is not the way you negotiate!"

"You think we are the devil's minions, but I think you are the devil's minions!"

The two high priests sneered, and Givenchy continued, "If it's just this kind of thing, there's no need to meet specifically. We have already discussed how to distribute the benefits. Those who are greedy are doomed to get nothing."

Having said that, the two of them were about to leave.

Wayne dodged and stood in front of the two men. "Please stay, high priests. The negotiations are not over yet. High priest Sang Lan of our sect believes that strength is everything. Her reasoning is stronger than yours. You will agree to the outcome of the negotiations."

"Sang Lan, are you crazy?"

Uri ignored Wayne and glared at Sang Lan, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

Sang Lan's eyelids twitched violently. Three hours ago, she was almost beaten to death by Wayne. She had just escaped from the critical period. How could she have the ability to fight with Uri and Givenchy? If a fight really broke out, she would have to jump back and forth on the line of death.

She cursed Wayne in her heart and said with a cold face, "Whether you like it or not, whether you want to listen or not, this is the fact. No one is allowed to leave today until the traitor is found."

"Then it's not up to you..."

Uri's eyes shone with golden light, and his life field swept down, covering Wayne and Sang Lan with a mirror world shining with golden light.

This is a fantasy world made up of mirrors. Every inch of land, every wall, and even every breath of air seems to be carefully carved out of mirrors.

The sun hangs high in the sky, and its light is reflected and refracted by countless mirrors, forming a dazzling sea of ​​light and shadow.

The sun's light is particularly dazzling in this mirror world. It is split into countless colors by the mirror surface, and light beams interweave, as if countless small suns are moving in the mirror.

It is so beautiful that it is difficult to distinguish what is real and what is the illusion created by the mirror.

Very impressive, the big guy is rough on the outside but delicate on the inside, this vitality field is very interesting.

Wayne nodded secretly, his fists itching, ready to knock on a few mirrors to add to the fun.

On the other hand, Givenchy, who was involved in this, also pushed away his own life field.

The silver-white glacier connects the sky to the ground, the world is silent and windless, with only the sound of the ice cracking, which is both distant and clear, ethereal and deep, with an indescribable dead silence.

Above the vast ice field, four-colored moons hang side by side, reflecting each other. The cold light condenses into white, penetrating the bottomless cracks in the ice field, adding a touch of grand will into the tranquility.

Hey, this one is not bad either. It must be very convenient to knock on the ice.

Wayne felt okay, but Sang Lan didn't think so. A drop of cold sweat ran down her forehead, and she barely pushed away a small piece of life field.

The green plants are wilted, with none of the vibrant and flourishing atmosphere.

Very bad, totally unbeatable.

"Sang Lan, what are you doing? Your power should be more than this?" Uri was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"Because of love!"

Givenchy explained kindly, and then sneered, "Your legs are still shaking. You must have had a life-and-death battle before coming here. Do you want us to give you some time to rest and get enough energy before fighting?"

It was indeed a life-and-death battle, and she nearly died, but it didn’t feel like this.

Sang Lan was too lazy to explain anything. She took a step back and stood silently beside Wayne.

She didn't dare to protect Wayne in front of her. She didn't have the confidence to do so, whether in terms of strength or status.

"Mr. Wayne, I have already arranged the person for you. Now it's your turn..."

Sang Lan was stunned in the middle of her words, turned to look at Wayne, and immediately became furious.

Wayne: (﹃)
Looking at those clear eyes without any impurities, one can imagine that he, with his low strength, had his five senses controlled by the life force field and fell into a fantasy time.

Bastard, you will only be happy if I die!

Sang Lan was almost mad. Even though she was Senna's person, Wayne still targeted her in various ways, as if he would not stop until he killed her.

"Sang Lan, now that we are here, let's have a good talk!"

Uri teleported to the junction of the two life fields. The aura around him soared, and the powerful momentum ignited a brilliant light and shadow behind him, suppressing Sang Lan's life field so that it could not remain stable.

As he took a step forward, thousands of arrows of light shot out, crushing the green land and starting a raging fire. With the help of the fire, he stepped into Sang Lan's life field.

The enemy entered the encirclement and could be attacked at any time, but Sang Lan had no way to deal with them.

Wu Li narrowed his eyes slightly, opened his strong palms, and a beam of light turned into a big sword in his palms: "You are playing tricks, I want to see what weird things you are playing today."

There was a hint of murderous intent in his words.

Swish!
The Sunshine Sword burned with flames, and the rolling heat waves scorched the greenery around Sang Lan to a scorched yellow. She wanted to stop it, but her weak mind couldn't muster the strength to do so. Every time she wanted to cast a spell, her head felt as painful as if it were being pricked by needles.

No, I can't enter combat mode.

Sang Lan barely held up a few energy shields for defense, but they were broken continuously by the Sunshine Sword.

Wu Li came in front of Sang Lan effortlessly, and seeing that her face was pale and she had no ability to resist, the murderous intent in her eyes became stronger. The sword move that was originally just a test now pierced directly into her chest.

Snapped!
A hand reached out from the side, ignoring the raging fire, and grasped the sharp blade of sunlight.

Hey, he’s an expert!

Uri looked at Wayne in surprise. The latter's eyes were clear with a hint of coldness, and he showed no signs of having his five senses controlled.

"who are you?"

"Secretary."

Wayne tightened his five fingers, crushed the light with a snap, and saw Uri teleport away, so he did not chase him immediately.

His face looked serious, as if he was facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, and he would be crushed to pieces if he was not careful.

Why are you pretending? Go ahead and hit him. Uri only looks strong. If you don’t believe me, try it. One punch from him and you’ll have to kneel on the ground and beg him not to die.

Sang Lan was extremely anxious. Wayne's behavior made her feel extremely uneasy.

Feels like I'm being sold again.

As expected, Wayne never let his teammates down when it comes to selling out. He said solemnly, "High Priest, the opponent is very strong. I have never seen such a strong opponent. I will try my best to fight him on equal terms. The High Priest of the Moonlight Church over there is in your hands. Remember to come and save me after you win."

After saying that, Wayne turned into lightning, opened up a life field with a diameter of less than three meters, and plunged into Uri's home court.

"Well done!"

boom! ! !
The mirror refracted countless rays of light, the sun set in the sky, and a fireball with surging heat waves rose from the ground, rumbling and shaking the sky and the earth.

Wayne fought Uri with bare hands. Although he had an invulnerable body, his two fists were no match for countless hands. Uri used the mirror flash to teleport and forced Wayne into danger again and again.

Judging from the situation, he can't help Sang Lan deal with Givenchy.

Sang Lan was so stunned that before she could start to curse, she saw a flash of white light in front of her eyes, a faint fragrance came to her, and she saw Givenchy with a sweet smile.

She smiled modestly, but her eyes were cold and chilling.

"Givenchy, we had some grievances before. I was wrong before. I apologize to you here."

Sang Lan said seriously: "At the same time, I also want to remind you, don't take the opportunity to repay kindness with enmity. The man fighting against Uri is very strong, very strong. He came here for the devil. If you touch me, he will regard you as a devil."

"Oh, isn't he your lover?" Givenchy kept smiling, raised his hand, and a Lengyue Bow appeared in his palm.

I wish he were my lover. I could get whatever I want and even be the Pope.

Sang Lan was secretly complaining in her heart, but as she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that this was indeed the truth.

She cursed inwardly, and thinking of Wayne's face, she immediately became calm and indifferent, and warned solemnly: "I didn't lie to you, he beat me like this, he is too strong to be a legendary wizard. If you don't want to be beaten to death, you'd better put away the bow and let's just have a chat."

Givenchy glanced to the side, seeing Wayne in a tough fight, raised his hand and shot an icy arrow at Sang Lan. Snap!

The energy shield in front of Sang Lan shattered, and all ten shields were destroyed by one arrow.

Sang Lan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly dodged the incoming arrows and said in horror: "Givenchy, you want to kill me, are you really a minion of the devil?"

"No, no, no, I'm just testing you to see how you are doing."

Givenchy smiled and said, "It seems that you are not injured, but you are pretending to be. If I don't use my full strength, it will be difficult to defeat you today."

Bastard, you clearly want me to die!

Sang Lan did not have the strength to fight against the legendary wizard. She endured the pain like needles stabbing her brain and barely transformed into a nature elf, using divine magic to launch a series of life defenses.

There is no other way but to defend.

Givenchy narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, he drew the bow and drew the arrow, engraved the life field into the tip of the arrow, and the arrow pierced through the divine defense and went straight into Sang Lan's heart.

The arrow went through her body, leaving an icy hole in Sang Lan's chest.

While shattering the magic, it also destroyed her robe with amazing defensive power.

“You, you really…”

Sang Lan covered her chest which was feeling freezing cold. The legendary wizard's keen perception allowed her to avoid the vital parts at the critical moment. The arrow grazed her heart and pierced through her chest and back, taking away a lot of vitality and leaving her with a biting cold, almost taking her life.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a minion of the devil. I'm just afraid that if you're pretending and I believe your lies, I'll lose my life."

Givenchy smiled and said, "After all, who can guarantee that you are not a minion of the devil?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another arrow was shot into a full moon, with the tip of the arrow pointing directly at Sang Lan's right eye, ready to kill her there.

Snapped!
There was an extra hand on his shoulder. Givenchy's fingertips trembled, and a cold arrow brushed past Sang Lan and nailed her to the ground twenty meters away.

when?
Givenchy's eyes suddenly shrank. Her mind perception and life force field did not send out any warnings. Even though her naked eyes saw the hand on her shoulder, her mind was still blind and she could not see anything.

Seeing Givenchy being pinned to the ground by Wayne, his body stiff and daring not to move, Sang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. She was just a step away from death.

"High Priest of the Moonlight Church, the bow and arrow in your hand reminds me of a poker friend. For her sake, I don't want to beat you. Please be decent and give up your mental defense. Let me check your body." Wayne tightened his fingers, almost crushing her shoulders.

As soon as he finished speaking, an object that was not in human form was thrown in front of Givenchy.

Judging from his size, it should be Uri.

Givenchy weighed the pros and cons, and a chill erupted from his body, sweeping across the heavens and earth...

Bang!
Wayne stood there with his fist raised, Givenchy beside him disappeared, and Leng Yuehan's bow fell to the ground and turned into ice and broke into pieces.

The world of the mirror and the sun disappeared stealthily and so fast that Sang Lan didn't notice it at all. Now looking at the collapsing glacier world, she nodded secretly. It turned out that this was the scene when a legendary wizard was beaten half to death by a punch.

She bet that her life force field would not disappear as quickly as Givenchy and Uri's.

……

The camera turned.

Sang Lan struggled to hold up a crooked life field. Under a withered crooked tree, a body and a woman in white with a bloody face were lying side by side.

Looking at Givenchy's miserable condition, Sang Lan felt both happy and sad.

I am happy for my plastic sisters. Look at their little faces, they are so happy.

Sadness was even simpler, thinking of herself three hours ago, when she also blossomed.

"High Priest of Oracle, when treating women, especially generous and decent women, you should consider being gentle and soft, at least don't hit them in the face." Sang Lan touched her face, feeling very resentful.

"I'm already very gentle." Wayne pointed to the big guy next to him.

This lump is very anthropomorphic, and the irregular shape is full of creativity. The bloody example is right in front of her, and Sang Lan cannot refute it. The difference in treatment is obvious. He is really too gentle.

Wayne squatted in front of the two men, clasping their soft faces with his hands, sinking his thoughts into them. After a thorough examination, his face became gloomy and uncertain.

"Who? Who are the devil's minions?"

Sang Lan couldn't wait to ask, and she probably had the answer in her mind.

The Plastic Sisters were full of murderous intent today, and it was clear that they wanted to kill people to silence them. If the information was correct, they had been controlled by the devil.

"Both of them have traces of the seven deadly sins in their bodies. You are really lucky. If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet me, you would have become like them..."

Wayne looked up at Sang Lan and said, "So, this is the price of using the devil. Isn't it exciting?"

Sang Lan lowered her head and dared not look at him. She muttered softly, "I asked Lady Senna for permission. She said it was okay, so I..."

"I will punish her severely and say that it was you who reported her!"

"..."

Wayne was slightly modified when he came into contact with two bodies, which planted a time bomb of sin. He couldn't tell whether they were active or passive. The active ones were unforgivable, but the passive ones... they still had to be saved.

His hands melted and white foam flowed into their faces, reshaping their minds and bodies, while their hearts also opened to Wayne.

After a quick glance, Wayne's face looked even uglier.

It’s all proactive.

In the memories of the two, Wayne saw many ghost figures, and one of the voices was extremely familiar.

Lord of jealousy!

The Lord of Jealousy, one of the seven demon kings, extended a warm invitation to the two high priests. After hesitating for a moment, they decisively accepted the invitation to hell.

Once again, the legendary wizard chose to go to hell rather than the kingdom of God without hesitation in his future choice.

"The devil is here too. What a nuisance..."

Wayne murmured, and the two high priests who had been revived with full blood knelt on one knee at his feet: "My great faith, is there anything I can do for you?"

Sang Lan took two steps back, her scalp tingling. She was so shocked by the scene that she dared not speak.

She seemed to have just seen the power of the void, which easily contaminated Givenchy and Uri and tampered with their will and beliefs.

Two legendary wizards of the same level and strength as her were reduced to slaves.

"Return to your respective posts and do what you are supposed to do. If the devil has any arrangements, report to me immediately."

Wayne checked the memories of the two men and found that Hell did not trust him. He knew that the intelligence was limited, and that he would probably not get first-hand information by arranging for the two men to go back as undercover agents. But something is better than nothing.

"I obey your command." x2
The two high priests bowed and took their leave, then stepped out of Sang Lan's life field. They came and went as they pleased, without giving anyone any face.

Sang Lan didn't mind this. Seeing Wayne's gloomy gaze, she almost went crazy.

She stepped back and explained, "I didn't see anything. I'm from Pope Senna's side. I'm very tight-lipped and will never tell anyone."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Wayne waved his hand, and a strong breath of life emanated from his fingertips: "Come here, the wound on your chest is very glaring, I will help you heal it."

"No, no, no, it's just a minor injury, just leave it alone and it will be fine."

"come over!"

"..."

Sang Lan came to Wayne with tears in her eyes. There was no hope for her to enter the natural kingdom of God. Wayne was so lustful that he detained her mind and body, probably to force her to go to the void to become a star wrath force.

Wayne held Sang Lan's shoulder with one hand, pushed her to turn half a circle, and tore open the white robe behind her with a "hiss". With a light touch of his fingertips, he quickly repaired the arrow wound on her.

After a few breaths, his chest and back were back to normal.

"You belong to Senna. I can't investigate her, and I can't investigate you either. But I don't like you very much. Your arrogance and mistakes have caused countless people to be sacrificed by the devil."

Wayne spoke slowly: "Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on you. The devil has corrupted Uri and Givenchy. With so many people working together, no matter how smart you are, you can't see through the truth. Besides, you are a fool."

Sang Lan felt lucky that nothing was contaminated, but at the same time she was a little scared. She knew so much, was it really okay?
Let's discuss it and make her a dependent as well. Living in fear will drive people crazy.

"I've told you so much, but there's only one truth: stay away from the devil. When you think you can use the devil, you've already been used by the devil."

Wayne said expressionlessly: "According to their memories, the devil will come to visit you soon. By then, by coercion or inducement, the entire Paris church leadership will become the devil's minions."

Sang Lan was shocked and lowered her head to show that she learned the lesson.

Although this man is not good in this or that aspect, he does have some commendable qualities. Pope Senna has good taste and chose a good match for him.

Sang Lan hesitated and asked, "High Priest of Oracle, are you the evil god of the void?"

"No, that is not the power of the void, it is the ultimate answer to life and natural faith."

"???"

If Sang Lan couldn't win, she would have started fighting. There should be a limit to looking down on others. Do you really think she is a fool?
She can clearly distinguish what is emptiness and what is natural life.

Wayne waved his hand and pulled out the elemental mantra from the void: "I forgot to introduce myself, the Knight of Nature, Wayne."

boom! !

A bolt of thunder exploded above Sang Lan's head. She stared at the elemental mantra in amazement. She and the sword became one. Her surging breath of life was highly consistent with Wayne's. She was a true knight of nature.

"But, I remember there is another natural knight..."

"That's Mr. Mura, and I'm the natural knight who will succeed me."

Wayne held the elemental truth in front of him and whispered, "Return to Senna. If Mr. Mura does not summon you, stay by her side."

After saying this, he threw the elemental mantra into the void.

This thing was pretending to be bland, with average strength but large quantity and satisfying taste, and the audio-visual effect was amazing, filling Sang Lan up.

Facing the Knight of Nature, Sang Lan no longer had any complaints, and all her doubts were expelled from her body due to the infusion of the Elemental Mantra.

Now, she believed whatever Wayne said, including what he had just said about life and the void.

What the Chosen Knight says is life is life, and a mere Legendary Mage has no right to refute it.

Sang Lan figured it out. If she guessed correctly, Senna must have taken a shortcut through the promotion device to become the Pope.

"Go back. We have already checked here. Next are the four priests. I want to see if they are innocent..."

The black sedan drove out of the Ministry of Magic headquarters. Isabella, sitting in the passenger seat, had a relaxed look on her face. She tilted her head to look towards the back seat. What she saw was her long-term meal ticket thinking with his eyes closed, and the high priest who was extremely well-behaved.

He's been so well behaved in just half an hour?
Tsk, his face looks even uglier!
Isabella shook her head repeatedly. Doesn't the Church of Nature have any legitimate channels for promotion?
……

At the same time, Uri and Givenchy each returned to the church's district headquarters. Two figures, one in gold and one in white, stared at the two of them.

"This city..."

"Too dangerous!"
