A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 273 Fingel Wants to Lu Mingze

Aso Makoto didn't panic too much when faced with her companions' questions. She let everyone come one by one, and she answered their questions about the medicine one by one.

Makoto Aso, who has been promoted from potion professor to crimson scholar, has also improved his potion-making skills and can easily concoct potions to meet the needs of his fellow believers.

With Aso's help, the members no longer worried about the negative effects of some extraordinary items and boldly began to exchange for them. After reviving Eva, Fingel had no intention of saving any more money.

I bought four low-sequence extraordinary items in one go, not for combat, but only for research and analysis.

They even helped Aso Masato exchange several extraordinary items, hoping that Aso Masato would provide several different medicines for research and development.

After everyone excitedly exchanged their extraordinary items, they began their second round of conversation.

Erii looked at everyone enthusiastically: "This time, my brother finally agreed to take me out to play. I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone on Bello Island."

Nuwa really liked Erii's simple personality. She remembered the gift Erii gave her when she first joined the church: "When we meet on the island, I will take good care of you."

"Hmm." Erii tapped her chin with her right index finger. "Won't my brother find out? I've been keeping it from him all this time."

Xu Lie blinked. It seemed that he was the one who suggested Erii lie to Genjiro back then. He didn't expect Erii to have listened to him so much and still keep Genjiro in the dark.

"Hey." Nuwa didn't take it to heart at all: "Just fool your brother then, don't worry about it, I'm very professional in this area."

Speaking of the trip to Bello Island, Chen Motong also looks forward to meeting the church members in real life: "If we can meet then, we can definitely team up."

"What about the academy team?" Susie added, "The Kassel contingent will definitely be moving together. Do you think you can sneak out using your psychological suggestion?"

Speaking of this, Fingel temporarily set aside his thoughts on the various extraordinary items: "Respected Fool, I have resurrected Eva. I wonder if... I could invite her to join the Church of the Old Ones?"

"Please rest assured, Mr. Fool, Eva is also very devout to the church, and I can vouch for that with my life."

After stating his request, Fingel lowered his head nervously, like a prisoner on trial. He knew the power of the old church and sincerely wanted Raiva to join so that she could enjoy its protection.

Bao Lie readily agreed.

The Old Church continues to expand rapidly around the world, with new Old Temples constantly being built in various locations.

On the surface, all parties kept to themselves and the old church, but in secret they were extremely eager to curry favor with them, sending people to give them money in order to join the church and become the temple keeper of a small temple, thus establishing a relationship with the church.

With the free eggs and the promise of seeing divine apparitions through prayer, countless believers join devoutly every day. One more Eva is nothing.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Fingel was overjoyed. He then turned back to join Chen Motong and Susie's discussion: "The academy will definitely send out all its elites for this operation, so Lu Mingfei and Caesar will certainly participate as well."

"Caesar is not sure yet, but this time, Lu Mingfei might see that mysterious being reappear, and there is a chance that it can see through the psychological suggestion."

Fingel's concerns were valid, and the members who came from Kassel College fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Aso Makoto and Waju, who were not members of Kassel, could only wait and see what conclusion they would reach.

Just as the entire room fell silent, Xu Lie suddenly asked, "Do you guys still remember Renata?"

"That is, Kassel College, and Lu Mingfei's freshman year, zero."

Perhaps it was because of his superior ranking, or perhaps it was because Xu Lie's suggestion was excellent, but as soon as he spoke, the members all turned their attention to him.

Chu Zihang, who was closest, nodded first: "I remember, for some reason, Ling enrolled a month later than Lu Mingfei, and we fought against each other in the Three Gorges mission."

“We only know that Zero comes from a certain mixed-race force, and we have also investigated it in secret…” At this point, Chu Zihang looked at Chen Motong.

Chen Motong nodded and continued, "Since the Three Gorges Battle, I have used my extraordinary abilities to carefully observe Guo Ling and found that his daily routine is fixed. He only goes through a few places every day: classroom, canteen, library, dormitory."

"And she did not contact any outsiders, nor did she discover our identities. We were worried that taking action rashly would expose ourselves, so we pretended not to have discovered her."

"Mr. Error, why did you suddenly bring her up? Could it be that she's related to Lu Mingfei?" "Indeed!" Fingel clapped his hands, recalling a detail: "Nono, do you remember the dance when Lu Mingfei first joined the student council?"

"Zero was Lu Mingfei's dance partner at the time. I didn't think much of it then, just that Lu Mingfei was popular because he was an S-class student."

They were all intelligent people, and by this point, the members from Kassel had pretty much figured out Zero's background.

Susie opened her left hand and made a hammer shape with her right, tapping it on her left palm: "Zero's real name is Renata, and she's connected to the mysterious entity behind Lu Mingfei? Or maybe that mysterious entity sent her to Kassel?"

"The purpose? Is it to protect Lu Mingfei? Or to indirectly guide Lu Mingfei on certain matters?"

"Is that right, Mr. Error?"

Xu Lie nodded in approval, confirming Susie's statement: "You're right."

"Similar to Angers, Renata, who was originally loyal to a mysterious being, is now also under the control of our Old Church."

"If you are worried that Lu Mingfei might become a variable that interferes with the operation on Bello Island, you can add Renata's contact information privately."

"I can foresee that at that time, that mysterious being, for Lu Mingfei's safety, will definitely have Renata protect him by his side."

"If anything happens, Renata will be able to contact you immediately."

"!" Chu Zihang, Fingel, and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Good heavens, just how many people does the Old Church control?

How come after Angers, Renata has also fallen into the hands of the Church? When did this happen?
I didn't see Renata during the last battle in the capital.

Fortunately, everyone was only slightly surprised when they first heard about it, and quickly forgot about it, since the church wouldn't harm them anyway.

Fingel even considered using the help of the mole, Renata, to lure out the mysterious being: "Perhaps we can use this to find out what Lu Mingfei is really like."

Chen Motong quickly understood Fingel's meaning: "You want to fish?"

"Hmm." Fingel readily admitted, and then asked everyone, "Aren't you all curious about the true identity of our loser junior brother?"

Chu Zihang and Su Qian were both intrigued; they were genuinely curious about the true identity of this potion digestion accelerator.

While seemingly not paying attention to the conversation, Forrell at the head of the table was actually listening intently, secretly manipulating the gray mist to condense a tiny "danger" character on his main body's table, followed by a small question mark.

It's likely that Bao Lie felt that Fingel's plan to fish for Lu Mingze fish was a bit too hasty, and wanted to ask the main body if Fingel's actions were somewhat risky.

Xu Lie casually erased the gray mist inscription on Bao Lie's body without attracting the attention of any of the members.

He secretly manipulated the gray mist, displaying a line of text on the table in front of Bao Lie: 'Don't worry, Lu Mingfei won't let Lu Mingze harm them.'

Bao Lie blinked. Good heavens, the main body has perfectly grasped the loser's mentality. He's so fearless.

Before Bao Lie could reply, Xu Lie reminded everyone, "Of course, Renata still needs to remain hidden in the Church's plans."

"So there's probably no way she can openly cooperate with you. She can only secretly tip you off, which is the limit of what she can do."

Chu Zihang, Finger, and the others expressed their gratitude. Having an insider to pass on information was enough; they didn't ask for more.

He also promised to help Renata keep her identity a secret and not to affect the church's future plans.

After discussing for a while, the meeting adjourned.

All major factions, including Cassel, will likely have to urgently summon all their members to Bello Island, leaving them little time for casual conversation at the gathering.
