Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Page 333

Liu Zheng said.

"I'll listen to the boss."

Xia Kai said decisively.

He was actually a little tempted, since it was definitely safer in the church town than in the city.

Moreover, the opportunity to train with hunters is a rare one.

If you can survive in Church Town for ten days or half a month, your dungeon rating will skyrocket!

"Suck it."

Xia Kai couldn't help but swallow.

"We'll see how things go then."

Liu Zheng glanced at him and said.

Although he doesn't intend to be a nanny, he's still willing to help out with small favors.

Just like his approach in the Metropolitan, having more friends means having more options.

If things work out, I can ask Xia Kai for some items as a referral fee.

However, all of this is based on the premise that the communication went smoothly.

If the two sides start playing directly, then there's no point in training together.

"Let's go in, Archbishop Amelia is still waiting for us."

Beethoven pushed open the massive bronze doors and led the two into the deep cathedral.

Chapter 276 Such a high-ranking priest, what is the price?

"High Priest Amelia, I have brought the outsider with me."

As Beethoven entered the solemn and majestic main hall, he began to speak.

Amelia, dressed in a white hooded robe, remained kneeling before the main altar, as if she had never left.

"As expected of Beethoven, your efficiency is even faster than I anticipated."

Amelia said gently.

"This is not my achievement; it's mainly because this young man was very cooperative."

Beethoven shook his head.

Even if a real fight broke out, he didn't think he would lose.

But given Liu Zheng's speed and stamina, if he just keeps running away, he might not be able to catch him.

"Hello, stranger, I am Amelia, the High Priest of the Healing Church."

Amelia said to Liu Zheng.

"Hello, I am Liu Zheng, a deliveryman from Bloody Restaurant."

Liu Zheng also introduced himself.

"Delivery driver? Forgive my ignorance, is that a new job?"

Amelia asked curiously.

"Oh, you know, the kind of people who don't want to go out but still want to eat restaurant food, so they have the restaurant send staff to deliver the food to their homes. I'm one of those food delivery staff."

He explained.

"But if they don't go to the restaurant, how will the restaurant know they need food? If they send someone to the restaurant to place an order, then they can just wait for it to be prepared and take it home, right?"

Amelia pointed out the flaw.

"Well, we have special communication techniques there."

Liu Zheng could only spread his tentacles.

To be honest, he didn't really know how those people ordered takeout.

After all, he was only responsible for delivery, and there wasn't even a phone number on the order form.

"The outside world is really interesting."

Amelia didn't press further, but simply chuckled softly.

Although she and Beethoven were actually contemporaries, her voice sounded like that of a young girl, only a little hoarse.

"Is it interesting? Maybe."

Liu Zheng pursed his lips.

If we're talking about fun and danger, then the Metropolis is just pure fun, fun to the extreme.

"Master Beethoven, could you please check the defenses over in the research hall?"

Amelia said to Beethoven.

She spoke tactfully, but Beethoven knew that she meant she wanted to get rid of him so she could speak with Liu Zheng alone.

“No problem. Liu Zheng, I’ll go check the defenses first. I’ll wait for you outside the main hall after I’m done. We can discuss the apprenticeship then.”

Beethoven readily agreed, but also expressed his own stance.

"Would Beethoven, the master, take this young man as his apprentice?"

Amelia asked in surprise.

“That’s right. Liu Zheng is very talented, but he hasn’t received proper guidance. I hope he can become my disciple and take over my guidance from the moonlight to protect Atlantis and the Church.”

Beethoven said.

"That's truly a cause for celebration. Alas, I wonder when I'll be able to find such an outstanding young person to carry on the responsibilities of the Grand Master."

Amelia said with a touch of melancholy.

Since the collapse of the Calcarens Academy, the talent pool in Atlantis has gradually dwindled.

In terms of military force, it's alright, after all, there's actual combat as a catalyst.

In terms of faith, Amelia truly could not find a figure capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the High Priest and maintaining the church's inheritance and development.

However, in the area of splitting the church, there are a few geniuses who have inherited the legacy of the Calculus Academy.

"I believe you will find it."

It was a sensitive topic concerning the successor to the Archbishop, so even Beethoven couldn't say much about it. He could only offer a word of comfort before leaving the main hall.

The heavy doors slammed shut, leaving only Liu Zheng and Amelia in the vast main hall.

No, perhaps it's three people.

His gaze swept over a statue, and behind the statue seemed to be a cold gaze peering in their direction.

"May I ask you the purpose of your visit to Atlanta, young man?"

Amelia began.

"Complete the procurement tasks assigned by superiors."

Liu Zheng said.

The Bloody Restaurant is his superior, and the City Hall is the Bloody Restaurant's superior, so the City Hall is also his superior, no problem.

"Could I see your procurement list? The church still has some influence in Atlanta, perhaps I can help you complete your task."

Amelia said.

"Sure. How can I get it to you?"

he asked.

"Just leave it with me. I look ugly and I don't want to scare you."

Amelia said frankly.

"it is good."

Liu Zheng slowly walked towards her.

The cold gaze followed him closely, seemingly wary of him suddenly launching an attack.

Of course, he had no intention of doing anything to Amelia.

At least not yet.

Liu Zheng walked behind Amelia, placed the two lists he had written next to her, and then returned to his original position.

Amelia reached out her pale hand, picked up the list, and began to read it by the candlelight of the main altar.

"Your restaurant really has a wide variety of supplies, and you seem to know a lot about the situation in Atlanta."

After a while, she put down the list and said.

"I don't know, I'm just a worker."

He shrugged.

"So, have you finished your work?"

"I've completed part of it, but there are still many things I don't know where to find."

Liu Zheng said.

"For example?"

"For example, things like the madman's eyeball, the Holy Grail, or the umbilical cord of a god's child—I have absolutely no clue about any of them."

he replied.

"Young man, do you know what you're talking about?"

Amelia paused for a moment before speaking.

"I don't know. I'm just a worker, why would I need to know so much? If I can find it, I'll take it back to hand in; if I can't, I'll wait to be punished. If all else fails, I'll just get some explosives and we'll all die together."

Liu Zheng said indifferently.

Of course, there is also an ultimate option: take a gamble on the settlement of the instance.

"Your mindset is truly enviable, young man."

Amelia seemed to smile.

"The more you think, the more troubles you have. As long as you take action, many problems will be solved on their own."

"That's true. For example, I can solve your problem right now."

Amelia nodded.

"Oh?"

"The Holy Grail, the Church does indeed possess some, and I can also provide you with clues about the rest."

"The church also has relevant information on monster materials such as the Madman's Eyeball."

"The Blood Gem Church has a large stockpile. If it's not enough to meet your needs, I can tell you where to collect more."

"As for the umbilical cord of the divine child..."
