Quadruple split.

Chapter 2382 [Evil Eye]’s Ambition
This man wasn't lying!
The terrified commander of the Bluff, Danon Dan, swallowed his saliva and looked tremblingly at the young priest sitting opposite him. He came to the above conclusion the moment their eyes met.

He had no doubt that if he said one more wrong word, or failed to say the 'right' word, the owner of those black eyes would issue an order without hesitation, asking the follower of the goddess of fertility behind him to kill him and turn him into fertilizer in the literal sense!
There was an endless storm surging beneath the calm, but at the bottom of the storm there was only rock-hard ice, and behind the ice there was only a blank look in the eyes, which he had only seen in his own king's eyes, a madness that was creepy but hard to resist.

The new leader of Dunbuya City, a rising star who had emerged in the Holy Church Union in just half a year, who could make two gods willingly kill for him, but was essentially a "madman", the young priest raised his lips slightly and showed an encouraging smile to Danon.

[Are all the people of the Dawn Sect monsters...]

Even at the Cliff of Broken Head, Danon had been urged by the name of 'Xia Lian Zhu Ye' to plan carefully and cautiously. His impression of the Dawn Sect was distorted from the beginning. Now, his misunderstanding was deepened by Mo Tan. Danon sighed in his heart, then showed a smile that was not forced, and said to Mo Tan in a serious tone: "I understand."

Obviously, although he had acknowledged the other party's threat, Danon thought that being able to see the true nature of the pastor in front of him at the beginning of the negotiation was not bad news. In fact, after roughly understanding the other party's temper and bottom line, this negotiation would not cause any loss of life in the subsequent process, and he could even get to the core goal of being sent here more quickly.

"Over the years, the king has always had a big worry."

After reorganizing his thoughts, Danon did not say anything to Mo Tan, such as "Please ask irrelevant people to leave for a while", but said seriously, "I think, Lord Heifan, you should have heard of the name 'Skolk', right?"

Mo Tan nodded without comment, and under the horrified gazes of the lizardmen under Cliff's command, he looked at Danon calmly and did not give the order to turn him into fertilizer.

"You should also know that most of the members of Skork are from us 'Blood Barbarians'. There are gray dwarves from the Pale Plains, harpies who escaped from the Bloodfeather Terrace, boarmen from the Steelmane Tribe, and of course, countless traitors from the Broken Head Cliff."

The relieved Warlord of Broken Head Cliff did not dare to let Mo Tan wait too long, and continued to speak clearly and quickly: "In the past hundred years, the scale of those exiles has expanded countless times, and in the eyes of the king, the current Skork has gone from 'somewhat troublesome' to 'too troublesome', so..."

"Speak the key."

Mo Tan glanced at him and said absentmindedly, "My time is precious."

"Your Majesty is already tired of the current situation, and I, the Cliff of Broken Head, will never allow Skork to become the fifth force of the 'blood barbarians' as you call it after several rounds of expansion."

Danon immediately gave up the previous summary and said concisely, "So the king has decided to launch a large-scale crackdown on Skork in the near future, which is far more than the previous small-scale operations. Let those bastards pay the price they should have paid long ago."

Mo Tan held up his chin and said lazily, "Then you should also know that in the eyes of the Holy Church Union, although both Broken Head Cliff and Skolk are third-rate things that are not worthy of being in the upper hall, but if we have to choose one, we might prefer to make friends with the homeless people who are in God knows where, but at least we won't come here to make trouble, rather than the scumbags and the bitches with feathers and wings who came here to pay 'friendly greetings' a few days ago."

It was clear that compared to the Cliff of Broken Head, Skork was indeed closer to the concepts of "law" and "goodness". Danon, who had a better affinity with the Holy Alliance, was not surprised by this answer. He just said with a serious face: "But they are worthless, my lord. Whether it is to the Holy Alliance, to the city of Dunbua... or to you, Skork is worthless."

"very good."

Mo Tan sneered and made a "please" gesture to Danon: "Now, please explain your value."

"Your Majesty is well aware that what the Holy Alliance needs is stability in the north, a harmless area that poses no threat to the Holy Land and can even be 'civilized'. The difficulty of this ideal has been proven countless times over the years, so I will not elaborate on it here."

Danon didn't say a word more, and concluded concisely: "And the strength of the Broken Head Cliff is the strongest among the so-called 'blood barbarians'. Your Majesty means that Broken Head Cliff, a member of the 'blood barbarians', is actually more suitable to be a shepherd in this wild land than to force the four of us to unite to fight the enemy."

Mo Tan nodded slightly, raised the corner of his mouth with interest, and said leisurely: "Shepherd... Oh, you mean, you plan to become the agent of my Holy Church Union in the 'Blood Barbarians' to help us curb those problems that were once difficult to curb and control those situations that were difficult to control in the past?"

"This is not my intention, but the king's."

Danon emphasized very seriously that this idea came from the [Evil Eye Lizard King], and said with emotion: "Your Majesty believes that there has never been an eternal enemy in this world, but interests are real and tangible. When interests coincide, yesterday's enemy may become tomorrow's friend, but..."

Mo Tan took the coffee (15 silver coins/kg) handed to him by Xia Liya, took a sip and then asked leisurely, "Just what?"

"It's just that a capable, far-sighted, and wise partner is not common, and can even be said to be quite rare. Most people, such as the many former kings of our Broken Head Cliff, the successive queens of the Harpy, the great mine managers of the Gray Dwarves, and of course, Archbishop Jost of the Sun Cult, are not qualified."

Danon smiled and said seriously, "Although he saved us a lot of unnecessary trouble, it is still not enough for the king to personally send someone to try to make friends with him. But for the king, waiting for Lord Heifan to come to Dunbuya City means that his wish for so many years has been mostly fulfilled."

Mo Tan narrowed his eyes and said slowly with a warning tone: "You seem to be determined that I will definitely agree to this deal. It's very unpleasant."

"I'm sorry, Lord Heifan, but the king said when he sent me here that if I, 'Broken Head Cliff', act as the agent for the Holy Church Union, the situation in the north that has been corrupt for many years will be greatly eased within three years, and the 'Blood Barbarians', the most troublesome and thorny threat, will become history as time goes by."

Danon took a deep breath and repeated the words that the king had asked him to convey to the other party in full: "And you, Pastor Heifan, will create a feat that no one has been able to achieve in hundreds of years. The king has heard about the deeds of the Saint of Wealth, Her Highness Fiallie Graham. If you solve the 'blood barbarian problem', your contribution will definitely not be less than Her Highness Graham's."

Mo Tan laughed in silence and raised his eyebrows, "You know a lot, but the problem is, even if everything you just said is true, what's the point of me taking this credit?"

"For example, next time, you will not be sent to a place like Dunbuya City to deal with barbaric and crude people like us. For example, from now on, you will have an extremely reliable ally in the northern part of the Holy Land. For example..."

Danon paused for a moment, and finally continued: "Let the discussion about your identity and status with His Highness Chen Wangyu become a joke." After these words came out, Philip and Xia Liya were fine, but a certain guardian knight's eyes froze slightly, and there were some subtle changes in her expression.

And her unwavering emotion just proved that Danon's words were not groundless. After all, after his achievements in Sumir were completely blocked, Mo Tan, who only had the achievement of solving the plague in Misha County, was indeed a controversial figure. Naturally, there were many fools who thought that he was not worthy of Saint Chen Wangyu.

You know, the fact that Xia Lian was severely injured by the Dark Goddess and almost lost her combat effectiveness was blocked even more tightly. So in the eyes of many people, the reason why the Black Fan priest who was a childhood sweetheart of Saint Chen Wangyu got a great credit was not because of his strength, but because of nepotism.

Of course, for the core figures of the major sects, even if they didn’t know that Xia Lian was crippled by the Dark Goddess’s glare, it was no secret that Pastor Heifan was the main contributor to the battle of Sumir, so—

Yizou was not panicked at all!

As the CP leader of Hei Fan and Chen Wangyu (?), this female knight is of course aware of how excellent the two are. In her opinion, her senior and Her Highness the Saint are simply a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, a match made in heaven, and any doubts about them are heretical thoughts, and they should be tied to the firewood pile in front of the Inquisition and roasted until at least seven-tenths done!!!

But we all know that from Yizou's standpoint, he can only see what he wants to see on the issue of 'Hei Fan and Chen Wangyu', so it is easy to overlook some details.

For example, the Lizard King, who could say such words, must be very meticulous in processing and analyzing intelligence.

[No matter how you think about it, this is an extremely tough opponent...]

Sighing silently in his heart, Mo Tan did not speak, nor did he signal Danon to continue. Instead, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and fell into a state of thought that seemed like he was dozing off.

He was certain that the Lizard King had not collected much information. Although he had most likely used the paid functions of intelligence organizations such as the Thieves Guild and the Wanderer Inn, his upper limit was probably only the half of public information that Avery, the Son of Justice, and Philip, the Son of Plenty, recognized him and came to Dunbuya City with him under the mediation of the Saint of Fortune.

And the Lord of the Headless Cliff nicknamed [Evil Eye], with limited intelligence, was able to fully understand the two key points of himself: "he only has a high status in the eyes of the top leaders of the Holy Church Alliance" and "urgently needs to improve his influence and voice". This is a bit surprising.

Although the information that Fiyali provided to him did clearly mention that [Evil Eye] Fyodor Gota was meticulous and the most unfathomable ruler of the Cliff of Broken Heads in the past hundred years, the level of his performance still surprised Mo Tan.

In fact, if we put aside Mo Tan's identity as a player and the core reason for wanting to gain influence, the other party has almost succeeded in prying open his psychological defenses, and it is done indirectly by sending an envoy to deliver a message.

Not only that, there was probably an implication of testing the attitudes of the two Sons of God. Although the fact that Avery was not here at this moment was probably beyond the other party's expectations, Philip's reaction after hearing these words could also give the other party certain information.

[We have to find a way to kill him. ]

As Mo Tan thought so, he opened his eyes and looked at Danon again with a nervous expression, sneering: "It can be seen that although time is limited, your king has indeed made sufficient preparations, so that even for me, it is difficult to immediately reject this proposal and let Philip turn you into a pile of fertilizer immediately."

Danon lowered his head humbly and performed a somewhat awkward chest-touching gesture to Motan, which meant "praise the dawn."

Then--

"Next question."

Mo Tan raised his chin slightly and asked in a calm tone without any emotion: "What benefit will it bring to Broken Head Cliff... or your king, if you serve as a sheepdog for the Holy Church Alliance or me?"

"Your Majesty hopes to become the absolute authority in this wild land. He hopes that my Cliff of Broken Head can put an end to the hundreds of years of chaos and struggle. He hopes to gain the support of the Holy Church Union, which is unimaginable for ordinary people. He hopes to gain the friendship of you, the next generation leader of the Holy Church Union."

Danon tensed his body and repeated word for word: "Your Majesty hopes that one day, you will have a more noble status, rather than being a wild and barbaric tyrant. Your Majesty hopes to gain your recognition after in-depth cooperation, and in the future, which is not very near but can be observed normally, you will become the leader of the Blood Barbarians and dominate the world as an ally of the Holy Church."

"Heh...are these the original words of that [Evil Eye]?"

"Yes."

"You are confessing your ambitions openly and honestly. Aren't you afraid that the Holy Church Alliance will be wary of you and want to wipe you out?"

"Did you mean 'you' or 'Holy Union'?"

"…Are these his exact words?"

"Your Majesty expected you to ask this question."

"So, what does he want from me?"
