"You, who are the leaders of the Knights of the Holy City now?" Chen Xiaolian asked, looking at Ulysses and Lucius who had just gotten up again.

He could see that among everyone present, these two people had the highest status. Since Menei died, they would definitely choose a new successor.

"I... am the current leader Ulysses, this is the deputy leader Lucius." Ulysses took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his fear and worry.

He was already forty-three years old. When Chen defeated the entire Holy City Knights and took away his wings, he was just a newcomer who had just joined the Knights.

He had seen with his own eyes how the winner's shade was killed by Chen, who thought it was already unparalleled.

And now, it seems that everything is about to repeat itself?

"Okay, don't worry so much." Chen Xiaolian smiled: "Since you are the person who is in charge, I will spread it out. I just need you to agree to lend me this thing for a while. After I use it, I will return it to you."

"Borrow?" Ulysses gritted his teeth: "What are you guaranteeing?"

"It's very simple. If I really plan to take it away completely today, I don't need to talk nonsense to you at all." Chen Xiaolian shrugged, and his tone was relaxed: "It's my guarantee that you can easily kill your strength."

Ulysses was silent.

Chen Xiaolian said it very unpleasantly, but it is the most impeccable fact.

"Ulysses! Are you really going to compromise with this blasphemous devil??" A knight behind cried, although his hand holding the hilt of the sword also trembled slightly: "The holy objects are gifts from the Lord. In order to protect the glory of the Lord, we are willing to pay even the price of blood!"

"Okay, give me a decision." Chen Xiaolian ignored the knight behind Ulysses at all, and looked directly at Ulysses: "I believe you are very pious, but you are not a lunatic like Gattuso, and you will make wise choices."

"...Since it's said it's borrowing, there should be a deadline." Ulysses hesitated for a moment, and his tone began to loosen.

"It's up to one year." Chen Xiaolian said a random number.

He did not lie, but really planned to return the pair of wings to the Knights after everything happened.

Although if you can understand the information hidden in this pair of wings, an ordinary awakened person can become a top master who cannot even match the ordinary S-level, this is not a big problem for Chen Xiaolian.

First of all, it is not too many of these guys who can be so pious that they are - or crazy. According to Chen, it is only one or two hundred years before the previous one will be released. Even if they are returned to them, they may not appear in a short time.

Secondly, even if one of them really appears, as long as you can solve Chen's problem, it is not a big problem to suppress it - and if you can't solve Chen's problem, then you will die and you will no longer have to worry about it.

As for the one-year deadline, Chen Xiaolian himself didn't know how long it would take for Chen to get out of trouble. He said casually, there was no cost. Even if it really delayed to that time, it would be too late to pay a debt. Where did these guys from the Knights go to collect debts from him?

"One year..." Ulysses looked back at the knights behind him and the wings on the altar, gritted his teeth, and nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

Although it was a knight who served the Lord, allowing the other party to take away the holy objects was a great humiliation for Ulysses, he could still tell the difference.

Even if Chen Xiaolian's proposal is rejected, everyone will die here in battle, and the holy objects will eventually be taken away. Since that is the case, why bother bleed and sacrifice for this?

"I did not read you wrong." Chen Xiaolian laughed, nodded with satisfaction, and walked towards the altar in front of him.

Originally, the knights were blocking the altar straight, some of them pressed their hands on the hilt of their waists, and some even pulled out the cross swords. However, when Chen Xiaolian walked over, the knights who were originally blocking him involuntarily took two steps back and made way for a path.

"Thank you." Chen Xiaolian walked to the altar lightly, took the wings in his hand, turned his head and smiled at Ulysses: "By the way, I have something to ask you in addition to that. Please find a secluded room."

...

“… Ask.”

At the top of the Knights Castle, within a small room.

This was the meditation of the Knights, and there was not even a window. The room was empty, and nothing was left except a few linens to visit the ground and a shelf in the corner of the wall.

Not only did he hand over the holy relics to Chen Xiaolian, but he even had to answer his questions now... Although this was a helpless move that he had to do, Ulysses was still full of great humiliation.

"Don't be so excited, calm down. I said I'll give it back to you." Chen Xiaolian leaned against the wall and looked at Ulysses with a smile: "At least better than the last time. I heard from Chen that he killed all the saints you had finally appeared, right?"

"Didn't you kill Gattuso too?" Ulysses said coldly.

"That's in the dungeon." Chen Xiaolian shrugged: "What can I do if I am hostile to each other? Besides, you must know better than me about what Gatuso is crazy."

Ulysses didn't speak, just lowered his head.

"And I know Chen very well. He is not as easy to talk to as me. You can think of it without using your brain, just with your butt. He must have killed more than the saint, right?" Chen Xiaolian said without caring about Ulysses' reaction and said to himself: "But what's interesting is that the news I got from another channel was somewhat deviated.

Someone told me that Chen did not take away all the wings because he and Hussein made a bet, winning two games in three games. Although Hussein lost in the end, he still forced Chen to take away only half of the wings.

The question I want to ask you is, which of these two messages is the truth at the beginning?"

"Who told you about this?" Ulysses suddenly raised his head and stared at Chen Xiaolian: "Hussein himself?"

"Another friend, a guy who once stayed in the Thorn Flower Group. He said that it was Chen who told him." Chen Xiaolian smiled and said: "I can trust him."

"All of them." Ulysses was silent for a while before whispering.

"All of them?" Chen Xiaolian smiled: "So... Hussein is not that saint, right?"

"No... Hussein was the leader of our Knights at that time, and the saints of that generation were named Canaan." Anyway, even the holy objects had been handed over, and Ulysses had nothing to resist when answering the questions: "He was originally just a low-level knight. The system in our Knights was that everyone could take turns to allocate time to comprehend the holy objects, but according to different levels, the time allocated to different times. But for some reason, those who can get divine enlightenment from the holy objects are all low-level members."

"The more senior the big man is, the more things you need to worry about in your mind, and of course you don't have that much energy to concentrate." Chen Xiaolian smiled and said, "Let's keep talking."

"When Chen first contacted us, I had not become an awakened person, nor was he called by the Lord to join the Knights of the Holy City, so I didn't know the details at that time. I only heard afterwards that there was a villain who wanted to seize the holy objects from our hands, but was defeated by Saint Canaan.

Then... it was Chen's second appearance. At that time, I had joined the Knights and was just the most ordinary low-level knight.

This time, even Saint Canaan is no longer his opponent! Although he did not deliberately kill the rest of us, many of us died at his hands, and even Paladin Hussein and Mene... were seriously injured.

Just when Chen was about to take away the holy objects, Hussein did something.

He inserted the holy object...the wings of the angel into his body!"

"I don't think this will be useful." Chen Xiaolian frowned when he heard this.

"The Paladin Hussein also knew that he could not stop Chen." Ulysses shook his head: "There was no bet. He just forced Chen to make an agreement to take only half of the holy objects and promise to return it to us in the future."

"How do you force me?" Chen Xiaolian asked immediately.

Of course, the wings themselves contain powerful power, but that is not something that ordinary awakened people can easily control. Previously, Arte barely exerted the power of the wings with the blessing of many other knights, but was soon drained from his vitality and died.

What's more, the power of the wing itself is far less than the ability to interpret the source code contained in it. Chen was able to kill the saints at that time, and even if Hussein could borrow the power from the wings, he would not be Chen's opponent.

According to common sense, since Chen can kill the saints, he should take away all the wings.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a gambling game or any other method, how Hussein forced him to make this promise became the biggest key.

"The exclusive skill of the Paladin of Hussein... is called Goddess of Dawn, and it is an S-level skill." Anyway, Hussein has already left the Knights, so Ulysses didn't have to worry about it and said directly: "At the time necessary, he can burn and refine all the attribute power he owns, turning it into the Sun Attack Power, which is extremely powerful. The only disadvantage is... After the attack is launched, the attribute value that has been refined will not be restored."

"What a coincidence." Chen Xiaolian smiled secretly.

This guy Hussein turned out that the personal exclusive skills he had drawn at the beginning were the same as himself.

And he also guessed what Hussein did.

Ulysses continued: "At that time, the Paladin Hussein endured the great pain of his body and told Chen about his skills. If Chen did not agree to our request, he would release Sun Yat-sen to refine.

Hussein himself was not sure whether this level of attack could kill Chen. But because the holy object was bound to him at that time, once the skill was released, the power contained in the holy object would be refined together with his own power."

"He dares to bet." Chen Xiaolian praised Hussein.

If Chen Xiaolian could really release all the power contained in the wings, he was not sure whether he could hurt Chen at that time, but he knew that Chen would be worried about whether the wings would suffer any damage during the Sun Yao refinement.

The power drawn is not important, but Chen will definitely worry that the information contained in it may be lost as a result.

"Chen accepted Hussein's proposal, and the two set up a bet of three games and two wins." Ulysses whispered: "But... even with the help of the power of the holy objects, the Paladin of Hussein is still not Chen's opponent. He lost in the first game, and if he lost in the second game, the holy objects would be completely owned by Chen.

At the last moment, Hussein released his exclusive skills and refined all his attributes.

When the Paladin Hussein released his skills, his whole body seemed to have turned into a sun, constantly emitting light.

The light continued, as if the power in the wings was endless. It was not until a long time later that it completely dissipated. When the light dissipated, we could see clearly that the whole body of the Paladin Hussein was covered with wounds of all sizes, blood flowed all over the ground, and the whole person was almost exhausted and could fall to the ground at any time.

And Chen stood in front of him with a strange expression on his face.

Just before the Paladin Hussein was about to fall to the ground, Chen walked up, held him, and told him that he lost the second game.

There was no third game, because Hussein had exhausted all his strength in his body and could not even stand up straight.

Chen did not take away all the holy objects, but separated them as agreed before, and only took away half of them.

The Paladin Hussein almost died on the spot because he had endured too much power. Fortunately, the Lord did not abandon his loyal servant and still barely survived.

But after he refined all his attributes, he almost became a useless person.

Despite being blessed by the Lord and Hussein later restored some strength, he still... could never return to the level of an original S-level powerhouse."

"Okay, there's no need to say anything about it next." Chen Xiaolian waved his hand to Ulysses.

How Mei Nei made trouble later and killed Hussein's wife and children was their housework. Chen Xiaolian was not interested in asking more.

The only thing he wanted to know was how Hussein forced Chen to make a bet and actually executed it.

Now it seems that there is no reference value.

However, Chen Xiaolian solved a doubt by the way, that is, Hussein was obviously the leader of the Holy City Knights and a strong man who could barely compare with Chen, so why did his strength decline when he saw him to the point where even Tianlie could not beat him?

"I have told you everything you want to know as you ask." Ulysses took a deep breath and stared at Chen Xiaolian: "You will keep your promise and return the holy objects to us, right?"

"Don't worry, how could I not be able to do something that even Chen can do?" Chen Xiaolian laughed, stood up straight from his posture against the wall, and waved his hand at Ulysses: "Goodbye."
