god of tomorrow

As darkness fell, drowsiness set in, a look of disgust crossed his face, and he took a bite.

Lily went through the process smoothly and went to get some water, only to find that Gao Wen wasn't going to act tonight. He wasn't pretending to be asleep at all and was diligently practicing by himself. Lily was immediately both angry and annoyed.

This dead person, she used to at least respond, but today she can't even be bothered to give a perfunctory reply. What does that mean? She's already tired of her, isn't she?

Here, I'll give you your favorite big cunt!

Thinking this, Lily reached out and put her arm around Gawain's neck, clicked her tongue a few times, and then pretended to be dazed, slurring her words, "The Kingdom of Vis is dangerous... Hervy came to see me today... She seemed nonchalant, but she's actually very worried..."

Upon hearing this, Gawain opened his eyes, supported Lily with one hand, gently patted her back, and whispered in her ear, "So, should I try to extract some information about the Kingdom of Vis from you?"

"Dream on, even if you beg me... I still won't tell..."

"Really? I don't believe it!"

Having roughly guessed Lily's true intentions for this night raid, Gawain took out her favorite sports drink...

After thinking about it, I realized that I wouldn't get a sports drink every time I checked in. These red bottles were so precious, and I only had a few cases left in my inventory. It wasn't really necessary to use them to compete with Lily in acting. So I replaced them with the thermos I kept by my bedside.

Imported health tea.

After feeding her several times, Gawain obtained a lot of important information about the Kingdom of Weiss from Lily of Lass.

It mainly contains intelligence about the Dark Church.

This intelligence was obtained by Lily using spatial magic when she withdrew from the Kingdom of Weiss.

Three years is a long time, and the intelligence may not be entirely accurate, but it's better than nothing. Several dangerous areas were marked so that Gao Wen could avoid them on this trip.

If you really can't avoid it, protect your teammates in front of you. If you can't protect the old fox Lindsay, then protect that guy from the Natural Holy Court.

Having gained crucial intelligence to mitigate risks in advance, Gao Wen felt a warm glow in his heart. Unsure how to express his gratitude, he made Lily another cup of imported health tea.

Tsk tsk tsk —

After finishing his tea, Gao Wen lay down on his back and continued his meditation practice, leaving Lily to watch over him for the rest of the time.

Lily was furious at his pathetic attitude. To ensure Gawain's safe journey, she offered herself up for free. But this guy, still not putting in any effort, didn't even bother to cooperate, acting as if she desperately needed his help.

A moment of patience brings peace, but taking a step back only makes her angrier. Fueled by alcohol, she impulsively slapped Gao Wen across the face.

Snapped!

"..." x2

Gao Wen slowly opened his eyes, staring at Lily expressionlessly. The dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if he saw through her faking drunkenness and looking for trouble, startled her so much that she gasped for breath and hurriedly leaned forward to ask for a drink of water.

My heart was pounding with anxiety, and I seriously suspected that Gao Wen had already seen through everything but hadn't exposed it.

Did he know I was conscious?

When was it the slap just now, or was it because I talked too much the other day?

Gawain stared at Lily with displeasure. Seeing the latter squinting her eyes and pretending to be stupid while looking for water, kissing and nuzzling her, trying to get away with her good looks and cuteness, he immediately snorted and slapped the little black witch on the butt.

Hiss, hiss, why are you using so much force?

Lily was furious and couldn't stand it any longer, so she retaliated decisively.

Snap! Snap! Snap—

The game unfolds in rounds. After three rounds, personal grudges no longer matter, nor does whether one is awake or drunk. Competitive spirit begins to dominate the entire scene.

Do you submit or not? I'm asking you, do you submit or not? x2

It was quite chaotic, with lots of back-and-forth clattering and hitting. If you didn't know better, you'd think they were playing cards inside!

After about ten rounds, Lily... let's just say she gave up.

……

Early in the morning, Lily silently pushed away the pillow that was pressing down on her and walked into the bathroom with a blank expression.

Half an hour later, she looked utterly heartbroken, as if she were about to leave Qianshanbao by train that day. After cleaning up the mess, she draped a towel over Gao Wen and took the bed sheet with her before leaving.

Wine and black tea made her so ashamed; from today onward, she will never drink black tea after 8 p.m. again.

"I think I've discovered some incredible switch..."

Gawain did a sit-up, glanced at the brand-new sheets, and realized he had lost face so badly, especially since both sides knew each other were fully aware of the other's presence. He felt that the little black witch wouldn't be coming to raid him at night again.

"Great, great. It's time to stop. If we keep messing around like this, it wouldn't be surprising if the gun accidentally went off one day." Gao Wen walked into the bathroom with a happy expression.

Golden Channel.

As its name suggests, it is a vital thoroughfare through which endless wealth flows.

The Kingdom of Golden Sun and the Kingdom of Vis share a natural border with the majestic Golden Mountain Range. This passage is one of the few direct routes in the mountains, with the shortest straight line between the two points. It carries the largest volume of duty-free trade and visa-free travel between the two countries, making it a veritable artery.

Anyone who dares to make a cut here will have their entire family's major artery cut.

Geographically, this area is sandwiched between treacherous mountains and canyons, with sheer cliffs on both sides, which makes the Golden Passway irreplaceable.

This is not the case. In the grand scheme of the magical world, there are no extreme geographical limitations. No matter how high the mountains or how deep the seas, they cannot stop a magician's desire to improve.

The Golden Passage's current status is truly due to the exceptionally well-developed railway network in the towns on both sides of it.

Furthermore, the Duchy of Rufa, acting as a middleman, forcibly joined the area, giving the no-man's-land an even greater geographical advantage. Everyone felt at ease conducting trade there.

Gao Wen arrived at the entrance to the Golden Passage alone.

Jean and Tiffany, along with their stepmother, Holy Sword, went out to freeload, helping a friendly organization eliminate the potential risk of overproduction. Jean didn't mention their specific destination, but it was estimated they would be visiting several companies. As for the specific time, Tiffany was worried about being late or leaving early and having her salary docked, so she didn't dare to make any promises.

Therefore, when Gawain went on this long journey, he had no knights following him. If he encountered danger, he would have to find a way to sacrifice his teammates.

Soon, Gawain found Lindsay under a crooked tree. Lindsay had rented a beat-up secondhand car and was dozing off in the driver's seat.

Gawain knocked on the car window and got into the passenger seat: "Lindsay, where is Commander Green? Did you only recruit me as the leader of your hero team?"

That won't do. Compared to the cunning Lindsay, Green is undoubtedly more suitable to be sacrificed.

Without Green's tall figure in the team, Gao Wen felt very insecure.

"Commander Green is waiting ahead. He suffered a great loss last time, and he doesn't trust us much anymore." Lindsay's thick eyebrows and big eyes were filled with the helplessness of being wronged.

"What kind of person is this? They can't even think straight, yet they blame others for being too smart."

Gao Wen shook his head: "The environment has always been like this. If it were me, I would definitely look for the reasons within myself, rather than complaining that my colleagues are ganging up on me and engaging in office bullying."

"Who says otherwise? This is wronging an innocent person!"

Lindsay shook her head along with him, took out the mission map and threw it into Gawain's arms, then started the used car and drove into the Golden Passage.

The illegal road connecting the two countries is wide, with eight lanes in both directions, and sheer cliffs on both sides. There are also streetlights every ten meters and warning signs reminding drivers to drive safely. At first glance, it is no different from a regular highway.

Gao Wen opened the map and was immediately taken aback when he saw the place name 'Honghe Town' circled by a small red dot.

Honghe Town is nearly 300 kilometers away from Qianshan Fortress and is adjacent to the no-man's-land of the Vis Kingdom. Due to its remote location, lack of resources, and serious soil pollution, it is unsuitable for crop growth and has little development value, so few people visit it.

Turning the pages of local history, one finds that this place experienced a brief but bustling period of prosperity decades ago.

Back then, a rich iron ore deposit was discovered around the nameless town, and countless miners flocked in to mine it day and night.

After a period of intensive, exhaustive digging, the river flowing through the town was washed red, resembling flowing blood, hence the name Honghe Town (Red River Town).

The good times didn't last. As the mines were completely drained, the surrounding land was abandoned due to over-exploitation and pollution. Without its economic pillar, Honghe Town was forced to close down. It was left devastated and desolate in ruins, and has yet to recover.

If nothing unexpected happens, like Lindsay Lohan, his past glory will be his peak, and there will be no possibility of him rising again.

It's an ordinary little town with nothing particularly special about it.

Gawain was surprised because Lily's warning last night listed Red River Town as a dangerous place. Even at the height of their argument, she reminded him not to take this path unless he had a high-level mage as a sacrifice.

Lily said it was dangerous, but the mission rewards are definitely extraordinary.

Gawain hesitated for a moment: "Let me confirm again, Commander Green is right ahead, right?"

"It's wrapped!"

Lindsay raised an eyebrow. He understood the principle decades ago: when things are unclear, teammates should go first; if things turn bad, teammates will be sacrificed.

Otherwise, why would he have such a white beard?

Chapter 218 What you carry on your shoulders isn't necessarily a responsibility.

After Lindsay said that, Gawain's expression became even more strange.

That old geezer knows so much, after sacrificing Green, is he going to sacrifice him too?

Lindsay was a seasoned veteran, with a wealth of office experience. He could tell what was going on just by looking at Gao Wen's expression. He didn't explain anything, knowing that it would only make things worse. He believed that once this mission was over, Gao Wen would lower his guard.

Then, with patient persuasion and generous hospitality, there's no doubt that Gawain will side with the Dawn Church.

It doesn't matter if they can't come back. The office-based CEO knows Wang best. As long as word gets out that Gao Wen is close to the Six-Eyed Flying Fish of the Dawn Church, the plan to poach him will be more than half successful.

This person has a dirty past!

The Temple of All Things may not lose, but the Church of Dawn will definitely keep winning.

"Gawain, what about Green...?"

"Who is Gawain? Please call me Adventurer Gauss."

"Yes, yes, I'm getting senile."

Lindsay realized her mistake and corrected it. She admired the cautious Gawain even more. He was capable, shameless, and cowardly. Such a good but crooked seedling must be molded into the shape of the sun god!

Lindsay doesn't possess the fair skin, beauty, and long legs of Tiffany or Jean. While these two are pretty, their status and position are more important; ordinary beauties simply cannot compare to them.

Similarly, even if Lindsay were to risk everything, she would not be able to secure the current Dawn Church sainthood to allow her to retire early.

Suman gave Gawain his right-hand men, but what guarantees could the Church of Dawn offer Gawain? Andre?

Lindsay finds it laughable.

Lacking resources, directly stating one's intention to win over Gawain would not only lack sincerity but also lead to misunderstandings that underestimate him, inevitably resulting in failure.

Let sincerity fly for a while!

Q: What's the fastest way to demonstrate sincerity?

A: Betraying allies.
