Chapter 2368 Relax and Speak Straight

That's right! Shouldn't Yi Dong be in the Violet Empire right now?
I had just discussed the physical condition of Ned and the others, so how could he have time to travel all the way north to Dunbuya City to find me in such a short time!

Even if he really wanted to see me for something, he would definitely send me a message first to say hello! Even if he didn't say hello, with the Eternals' ability to switch between the living and the dead freely, it would be impossible for them to be almost beaten to death as soon as they arrived here.

And finally, the most important point is that if Mo Tan remembered correctly, Yidong's name in the [Realm of Innocence] should be "Winter" instead of "Peerless Balance".

In a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Mo Tan's mind, finally waking him up from pretending to be confused to the point of being really confused. After sorting out his thoughts, he roughly guessed what was going on, and his expression became particularly interesting.

"that……"

Yi Zou, who noticed that something was wrong with Mo Tan's expression, stopped and asked curiously, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"

"There was an accident. Don't rush over."

Mo Tan pinched his brows, waved his hand to signal Yi Zou to sit down, and asked with a strange expression: "You just said that the necromancer was almost beaten to death?"

Yizou nodded vigorously and explained, "After the previous encounter, His Royal Highness Philip reset a considerable number of divine magic arrays, linking a large number of single-functional designs around Dunbuya City. Not only did it greatly enhance the original functions, but it also added some additional effects. Mr. Juechen Tianping triggered the [Resist Evil] barrier, and it was 'marked' more than 20 meters outside the South City Gate."

"Stop calling her sir..."

After remembering that Juechen Tianping was the girl who was killed by Gu Xiaole in both the [Guilt Debate·Individual Battle] and [Guilt Debate·Group Battle], Mo Tan, who had already guessed the other party's intention, corrected her with a smile and continued to ask: "And then?"

"Then Raymond and I led our men out."

Although he didn't know why his senior was acting strange, Yizou, who had been told by the visitor that he was looking for 'Reverend Black Fan', coughed lightly and said awkwardly: "Besides, His Highness Philip and His Highness Avery, who had just returned not long ago, also rushed out first."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said concisely: "And then what?"

"Then, I don't know what method was used, but His Highness Philip immediately realized that the other party was a necromancer. After hearing this, His Highness Avery and I didn't dare to be careless. We rushed over and pinned him down."

Although she felt a little guilty, the female knight still said honestly, "But before His Highness Avery and I took relatively tough control measures, Jenny and Adjutant Xia Liya ran to the top of the city and stopped us. Mr. Juechen Tianping did not suffer any substantial harm."

Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that although the non-substantial injuries were unbearable, Jenny at least did not let the situation get worse. On the surface, he continued to nod calmly: "Well, I understand."

"Later, Adjutant Xia Liya and Jenny took Mr. Juechen Tianping away. I heard that he was actually a top student at the Academy City [Naxxramas Comprehensive College]. Although he is indeed a necromancer, he has never done anything heretical that violates justice."

Yizou lowered his head in shame and said apologetically, "It's all our fault for being too impulsive and having such a big prejudice against the Necromancer profession that we almost caused a misunderstanding."

"It's okay. In the end, it's all my fault."

Mo Tan generously took the blame for Yi Zou and the others, and stood up and said, "So, she has already told you that the purpose of her coming here is to see me?"

"It's like this, Mr. Juechen Tianping is resting in Adjutant Xia Liya's office right now."

Yi Zou walked to the door obediently and waited for Mo Tan. She said seriously, "Jenny said that you would be back soon, so she asked me to wait here. But as soon as I walked to the door, I heard someone in the room..."

Mo Tan shook his head to interrupt Yi Zou's doubts. While racking his brains to think about how to appease the fighting force that Yu Chen had found for him, he said to Yi Zou sincerely, "Then take me there."

"it is good--"

Knowing that his predecessor had an extremely poor sense of direction, Yizou immediately nodded in agreement, and led the way at a pace that even an ordinary third-rate priest could keep up with, looking back every few steps.

"well……"

Mo Tan, who was a little nervous when he was seen by his cheap junior, shuddered and said with a wry smile: "Why do you keep looking back at me? The distance between us is less than two meters. I can't lose you at this point."

"I'm not afraid of losing you, Senior."

Yi Zou shook her head gently, then stopped and gave Mo Tan a warm smile: "I just think that your new clothes look good."

"Is there any?"

Mo Tan looked down at his outfit, which looked no different from an ordinary priest's uniform at first glance. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a rather handsome legendary equipment. He scratched his slightly messy hair and said, "Thank you."

"Very elegant, very suitable for seniors."

Yizou said in a serious tone, and instructed: "Be sure to show it to His Highness Wangyu when you have a chance."

"I didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but since you praised me so much, I have to let her take a good look."

"whee."

"What's silly about it?"

"Nothing, I just feel that even if it is just to let His Highness Wang Yu see how handsome Senior is, I have to do my best to protect you."

"Okay, okay, then I'll rely on Your Excellency the Knight."

"it is good!"

……

A moment later
In front of a three-story building in the western part of Dunbuya City,
"Is this where Xia Liya works?"

Mo Tan looked at the plain-looking building in front of him with some curiosity. It had a homely atmosphere but no grandeur at all, and sighed, "It's quite different from what I imagined."

Yizou, who was not here for the first time, smiled and explained, "I heard that this was originally the residence of Archbishop Jost. When we came here, after that lord returned to the City of Light to report on his work, Adjutant Xia Liya immediately moved the office of the [agency] here, and she also moved in with him."

Judging from the respectful tone of the female knight when she mentioned 'Archbishop Jost', she obviously respected the old man very much even though Xia Liya and others complained that he had no ability and had never done anything weird. The reason for this was naturally the 'gift' that this archbishop who had done nothing wrong left for Mo Tan before he left. Although the latter revealed the matter to everyone on the same day, it still did not affect Yizou's excellent impression of Jost.

At the same time, Xia Liya and Jenny Belial, who had just taken on the position of "Chief Astrologer", walked out of the office building together.

"Hi~"

Xia Liya, who was not particularly respectful to Mo Tan because she had helped share so many tasks, waved at the two of them and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"You're welcome."

Jenny lit a cigarette the moment she left the room, and said something to Mo Tan who was about to thank her without even looking up. She then added, "By the way, my 'vision' hasn't fully recovered yet, otherwise I wouldn't have brought Ain here just when he was about to get beaten."

Mo Tan: “Uh…”

"Okay, don't waste time."

Jenny turned around and blew a smoke ring at Mo Tan, saying unhappily, "Hurry up and go up. From what I know, you aliens generally can't stand boredom. Hurry up and settle her down."

"Oh……"

So, Mo Tan walked quickly into the office building, greeted a few clerks inside, went straight to the second floor, and returned to the lobby three minutes later.

Xia Liya, who was checking in with two agency members about the work situation, was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "So fast?" "Huh?"

Mo Tan was also stunned and asked in confusion: "Why am I back?"

"So how did you manage to go back to the starting point without realizing it..."

Jenny, who was leaning against the door and discussing with Yizou whether smoking was harmful to health, rolled her eyes and pointed at the Templar Knight of the Melody Sect who was talking to Xia Liya: "Hey, you go and show His Excellency Heifan the way and send him to the reception room on the third floor."

"Yes, Ms. Beryl."

The agency member who knew Belial's identity immediately agreed without hesitation, and then turned to look at Mo Tan: "Sir, please--"

"sorry to bother you."

Mo Tan sighed deeply, followed that person with tired steps, and arrived at the room at the end of the third floor of the office building two minutes later.

"Go back and get busy."

After casually sending the lead away, Mo Tan took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Eh?"

A clear female voice immediately sounded from behind the door, and asked vaguely, "Who is it?"

"Hei Fan."

Mo Tan did not push the door open immediately, but said politely: "I'm sorry I just came online. I heard that there seemed to be some misunderstandings not long ago. I want to apologize to you on their behalf."

"Ah? Ah, it's okay, it's okay. I was careless."

The girl behind the door immediately expressed her understanding, and then said: "Come in and talk...ah, wait, come in later...this, this...and...ah, you can come in now!"

"Ok."

Just like that, after patiently standing there for a few seconds, Mo Tan pushed the door open and walked into the reception room. He raised his hand and said hello to the guest who was sitting behind the square table in a proper manner. He looked very quiet, but if he guessed correctly, he should have been eating snacks just now: "Hi."

"Hi!"

Just as Yizou had described before, the other party was a petite human female with shoulder-length white hair, who looked to be about twenty years old. Her slightly pale skin color made her look more like the result of working in a dark environment for a long time rather than a necromancer or a bloodseeker.

"Hello! I am Juechen Tianping!"

For some reason, the guest seemed to be trying too hard and introduced himself very forcefully. He said with a somewhat nervous expression: "I wanted to say hello in advance, but your friend switch seems to be off. Wangyu is not online today because he is accompanying a friend for internship, so... I'm really sorry. I just wanted someone to pass on a message for me, but I didn't expect to be seen through in an instant. The people here are really awesome... Ahem, really amazing."

Mo Tan smiled implicitly, sat opposite the girl named Tian Ping, and said in a tone that he thought was amiable, and in fact it was amiable: "Thank you for the compliment. Wang Yu told me about you, Teacher Tian Ping, before, but I was too busy recently and forgot to add you as a friend. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"No, no, I'm still a student myself, I can't be called a teacher."

Juechen Tianping blushed and said awkwardly: "Anyway... well, Wangyu has also mentioned the specific situation here to me. In short, in order to prevent the World Cup from being disrupted and to maintain world peace..."

"Stop for a moment."

Seeing that the other party was obviously a little awkward, Mo Tan interrupted the balance and laughed dumbly: "We are all players, so why don't we just relax and talk? It's a bit tiring to keep it like that."

"Okay!"

Tianping was extremely nervous under the triple identities of the opponent's [Guilt Battle] champion, the boyfriend of the Saint of Dawn, and the actual controller of an important town on the border of the Holy Land. He was already regretting coming here. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa, feeling exhausted: "As long as you don't mind--"

"Look what you said."

Mo Tan also cooperated by changing to a more casual posture, and said in a rather teasing tone: "You don't mind being double-killed by our team's Sister Xiao Le, so why should I mind?"

"You're just bringing up something that's not relevant to the topic!"

The Libra girl waved her arms in protest, then spread her hands with relief, saying, "But it doesn't matter. After watching the rest of the game, I think instead of blaming that Xiaole sister for killing me twice, I should blame my bad luck for not earning a lot of pocket money."

"If you become a mercenary here, you will definitely make money with your ability."

"Ah, this... isn't quite appropriate. Wangyu should have told you that the main reason I came here is because I don't want to continue to be forced to deal with skeletons in the academy. My mother-in-law is still very strict with me. If she hadn't had a very good relationship with your Highness Xia Lian, I wouldn't have been able to escape so easily."

"I see. Thank you for your hard work."

"Yeah, yeah. If it weren't for gaming, I'd be working myself to death for those measly credits every day, but after all the hard work of playing a game, I'm now a student again. I'm miserable."

"So you're willing to work for free?"

"Well, I still want money!"

"Teacher Tianping is indeed an upright person. I admire him."

"Ah... because the atmosphere was right, I accidentally said what was in my heart..."

"It's okay. After all, employment, friendship, and partnership are not in conflict. We are all adults, and no one should work for anyone else for free. Even other players working for me are paid."

"I feel relieved when you say that!"

"Yeah, I feel relieved too."

"What are you relieved about?"

"It's safe to let you continue to deal with those skeletons."

"Eh!?"

"You took the money."

"Woo..."

"Of course, Dunbuya City belongs to the Holy Church Union after all, and is very sensitive to undead creatures, so..."

"So I don't have to deal with skeletons for now!?"

"So pack up and go to a place called Skolk with Saint Avery later today to start work."

"Baaaaah?!"
