"He is an immortal serpent composed of seven high libidoes, seven virtues, and fourteen heads."
"He was in charge of our side, but he was just one of his fourteen heads."
"There is much more room for maneuver here than you think."
Lynn nodded thoughtfully:
"So, you're contacting good people within the Evangelical Fellowship? Planning to unite and launch an internal attack?"
"You think about a lot of things."
Cohen's lips twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly:
"I have special reasons for 'cooperating' with them."
"So, there's no need for those two guards outside, right?"
Seeing that Cohen pointed to the door, indicating that Seria and Fiona had not yet left, Lynn immediately became arrogant.
"Oh, you already know they didn't leave?"
Lynn understood Cohen's meaning now, and immediately sat down in the chair, crossed his legs, and said:
"Then tell me honestly, what exactly did you want to do by contacting that illusion?"
Seeing Lynn's suddenly smug attitude, Cohen immediately fell silent.
This feeling of someone borrowing someone else's power... really makes you want to punch him.
Seeing Lynn's attitude, Cohen took a deep breath and then explained:
"Do you know about Knightworth's treasure?"
Lynn looked at Cohen as if he were an idiot, and said with great disdain:
"What treasure do you expect me, someone who just joined Knightworth, to know?"
"Speak your mind, get to the point. Stop beating around the bush. Why aren't you as straightforward as old Kohler?"
When Lynn compared himself to old Kohler, Cohen almost laughed out of anger:
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point."
"In short, the dungeon treasure that the Illusionary Face is chasing is not something that has only recently appeared."
"To be precise, the treasure already existed five hundred years ago, before Knightworth was established."
Lynn was surprised to hear this news: "A super treasure that hasn't been opened for five hundred years?"
What kind of amazing treasure is inside?
Cohen looked uncomfortable upon hearing this.
"According to the notes of some of the family's elders, it seems that a secret that could destroy the Knightworth family is recorded there."
Lynn paused for a moment, then looked at Cohen as if he were an idiot and said:
"Then why don't you go find a demigod to help you out?"
"Do you really think you can handle the crisis of the Knightworth family's destruction all by yourself?"
“I went to see Ms. Delina,” Cohen blurted out, “but I was rejected.”
"You refused?" Lynn was taken aback. "Why?"
"The exact words were..."
Cohen hesitated for a moment and said:
"The idea that a secret from five hundred years ago could destroy us sounds like a miracle lottery in the kingdom, where someone can win the prize."
"When we're really about to die, we can still find a way to escape. Anyway, I won't be the first one to die."
Lynn fell silent upon hearing this.
That Ms. Delina is truly... an extraordinary person!
"So, you want to stop the Gospel Order from digging up that treasure? But the demigods in the family don't care at all, neither stopping them nor helping them?"
Lynn looked at Cohen suspiciously, then said uncertainly:
"Are you sure that treasure is real?"
Seeing that Lynn didn't believe him, Cohen immediately explained:
"According to the existing information, the treasure is indeed real, and it was left by our ancestor Knightworth."
"The original Knightworth?" Lynn's eyes lit up. "What did he leave in the treasure?"
After a moment of silence, Cohen said, "There is at least one blood essence left behind by a true demigod red dragon that can strengthen the bloodline of us dragon descendants."
Real dragon blood essence? Lynn raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that there was indeed something good in there.
Lynn had experienced the power of bloodlines before.
The feeling of boosting all five attributes with just one skill point is far more satisfying than regular leveling up.
"With such a treasure, how come the demigods in the clan aren't tempted?"
Cohen glanced at Lynn and said in a subtle tone:
"That's because their blood is not necessarily inferior to the essence of dragons, and in some aspects, it may even be more effective."
"Uh." Lynn was speechless.
Believe it or not, he actually thought that the essence of a dragon from five hundred years ago was stronger than the essence of a modern adventurer after he transformed into a dragon.
It turns out that they each have their own merits?
No wonder the demigods didn't care.
If you want something similar, just take a cut from your own pocket; why bother scheming and robbing?
"What are you trying to say by telling me all this?"
"Let's work together."
Cohen said calmly:
"I just need to determine what's in the treasure that can destroy the Knightworth family, and then destroy it."
"As for the other dragon blood essence, or anything else, you can take it all."
"So kind?" Lynn raised an eyebrow and smiled, his expression strange. "Why do I have a feeling you're trying to use me as bait?"
"Did that illusion ask you to cause me trouble?"
"You guessed right, the Illusionary Face is indeed watching you."
Cohen admitted that this was indeed the case:
“But what she really wants is probably not your tainted pureblood lineage, but my blood.”
Lynn looked at Cohen in surprise, then frowned and asked:
What do you want to say?
"I plan to have you take my blood and have Illusion act as your introducer."
Cohen paused, seemingly hesitant, but ultimately made his choice:
"Join the evangelical church."
Lynn's eyes widened slightly, wondering if she had misheard.
Join the evangelical church?
Lynn's expression immediately became extremely strange:
"Are you sure you're only working with the Gospel Church, and not just the Gospel Church's admissions director?"
Chapter 66 Hey bro, wanna hook up?
"That's a really harsh thing to say."
Cohen looked quite annoyed when he heard the description of "director of admissions".
There is also an admissions office in Mona City, but because it often spends money and uses city jobs to recruit deserters, it is generally disliked by the city's 'natives', who believe that it is stealing their jobs.
"However, the description is quite accurate."
Cohen sighed softly at this moment, and said while making tea:
"In fact, the city lord's mansion did send quite a few people to work in the Gospel Church."
"They're even involved in espionage now?" Lynn was somewhat surprised, but not too unexpected. "Then, do those spies have a miserable life?"
"Can't you think of something positive?" Cohen looked at Lynn in astonishment.
Lynn then smiled and said sarcastically:
"They've all been sent to be spies, how can they possibly do well? Isn't this job about not being on either side's side?"
Upon hearing this, Cohen gave Lynn a deep look, then explained:
"I don't deny that being an inside agent really affects one's perception of one's own identity."
"Among those sent out by Mona City, there were also those who were truly dedicated to working for the Gospel Church."
"But what does this have to do with you?"
"Shouldn't you be the kind of person who goes wherever the money is higher?"
Lynn paused for a moment, then looked up and met Cohen's meaningful gaze.
Now he smiled:
"You're quite good at judging people!"
So, what is the compensation? Is the work dangerous?
"Let me make it clear beforehand, I am someone who values my life extremely much."
You can rest assured about that.
Cohen brewed the tea, blew on it gently, and leisurely took a small sip, saying:
"We have extensive experience in how to recruit people into the evangelical church, how to deal with internal censorship, and how to prevent our own people from being in danger."
Hearing this statement, Lynn paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask:
"The Gospel Church... no, I mean the Gospel Church in Mona City, could it be that your own people are in charge?"
Cohen paused for a moment, looking at Lynn with some surprise.
Seeing that expression, Lynn's eyes widened: "I really guessed right?"
"It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Cohen hesitated for a moment, then said:
“There are indeed high-ranking members of our local evangelical church, but we can’t reach the level you’re talking about.”
"Really?" Lynn looked at Cohen with deep suspicion. "I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me."
At this moment, Cohen said expressionlessly:
“Under normal circumstances, the people in charge of infiltrating and guarding the city are basically demigod-level powerhouses.”
"Do you think we can develop demigod-level inside agents within the Gospel Church?"
“You’re asking me? How would I know?” Lynn shrugged and said, “All I can say is, be bold and use your imagination.”
Cohen's lips twitched involuntarily.
Use your imagination!
You really have a wild imagination!
"So what's the deal with that illusion?"
Lynn raised an eyebrow and finally asked the question that concerned her:
"Since the Gospel Church has your people, why would Illusionary Face still target the Nightwright family and resort to such scheming?"
