Nightmare Light

Chapter 136 The Temple’s Affirmation

In the equipment field, in full view of everyone.

People saw that Bishop Du trembled his long eyebrows, had a bright smile on his face, quickened his pace, took the initiative to walk towards Lin Wang, and stretched out his hand to the latter.

In the secular world, the highest representative of divine power stretched out his hand towards an unknown young northerner!
He took the initiative!
Everyone present, whether it was Old Joe, Dog Brother, or the officer just now, their brains all went into a state of paralysis.

Bishop Du held Lin Wang's hand.

"Young Northman... the temple thanks you for all your previous feats. Your protection of the secular world will surely be written into the most precious religious texts and become a new myth."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was dumbfounded.

Old Joe's body began to tremble slightly.

With his vision and listening carefully, he could already tell the value of Bishop Du's words.

It is a great honor for a mortal to be recorded in mythological books.

Moreover, Bishop Du’s original words were “the salvation of the secular world.”

This has exceeded the highest evaluation the temple can give to a mortal - because he "saved" the world.

This sentence means that in the eyes of Bishop Du, or in the eyes of the temple, Lin Wang's behavior has gone beyond the scope of mortals.

Beyond the scope of mortals, that means, the temple believes that Lin Wang's behavior has...

Old Joe didn't dare to think further.

At the same time, the expression on the officer's face was also quite interesting, changing from cloudy to bright.

The expressions of the soldiers he brought with him were also full of surprise... and awe.

Several soldiers looked at each other, not knowing where to put the muzzles of their guns. One soldier even lowered the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at the ground.

The officer's expression changed several times. He took a breath and was about to speak to Lin Wang, but Bishop Du spoke first.

"Mr. Lin Wang, are you interested in visiting the temple? On behalf of the temple... I invite you to come and be my guest."

As soon as these words were spoken, the officer was stunned. His face was twisted into a mess, and he didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

He watched Bishop Du hesitate for a moment, but mustered up his courage and forced an unpleasant smile: "Well... Your Excellency, Mr. Lin was asked to leave by my subordinates. You are, you are... you are blatantly trying to steal him, aren't you?"

"How dare you! How dare you speak to the Bishop like that!" A strong priest with a face full of scars beside Bishop Du shouted angrily.

The officer quickly lowered his head, but gritted his teeth and refused to retreat. "Please forgive me, Your Excellency! I have military orders! I must send Mr. Lin back!"

Bishop Du turned his head and glanced at the officer slowly and gently.

His voice was kind and gentle, and he spoke slowly and calmly, "I once made a vow to my mother that I would never lie in my life. So I can't lie to you either."

Bishop Du looked at the officer and nodded.

"So, you're right, I'm here to rob people openly."

"If you don't accept it, just bear with it."

The officer's face flushed red, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

He took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "Your Excellency, I am hereby..."

Bishop Du waved his hand slightly: "It doesn't matter whose orders you follow. The Federal President is here, and he has to give me face."

As he said this, he turned his head to look at the officer, smiled teasingly, and winked at the soldiers.

"Or, are you planning to lead your young followers to war against the temple?" "Children, are you ready to become pagans?"

"You know, those young men in the temple... they've been expecting the pagans to appear for years."

Bishop Du spoke calmly with a smile on his face, but behind the smile, the look in his eyes gradually turned cold.

Behind him, two priests took a step forward together. In one of their hands, the light of divine power began to flicker, while the other priest even raised his hand to touch the seal.

The officer took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and lowered his head: "I...I dare not."

"If you don't dare, then disperse." Bishop Du waved his hand. "Child, no one will punish you for failing to stop a temple bishop, but if you lose your life here... no one will sympathize with a dead pagan."

Bishop Du waved his hand casually, as if shooing away a fly, with a nonchalant gesture.

As he waved his hand, the priests around him remained calm and took a few steps forward, gradually approaching the soldiers.

The officer and his men looked embarrassed, not knowing whether to leave or not.

But as these priests approached step by step, the soldiers could not withstand the pressure and took a step back together.

The officer sighed and said, "Retreat."

The soldiers saluted Bishop Du silently: "Your Excellency, your subordinates, take your leave."

"Wait a minute." Lin Wang suddenly spoke.

The soldiers stopped in their tracks. The officer turned around and looked at Lin Wang, frowning slightly. "Mr. Lin, what else do you want?"

"Have you apologized?"

"Wha...what?" The officer was stunned. "Apologize?"

"The brothers of the Wild Wolf Regiment are my friends. You humiliated them when you came here just now." Lin Wang walked towards the soldiers. His tall figure seemed extremely oppressive in the equipment yard. "Now, you should apologize to my friends."

After hearing Lin Wang's words, the expressions of Gou Ge and the mercenaries at the scene all became complicated. Several young mercenaries quietly raised their heads and looked at Lin Wang with bright eyes. There were even some sparkling things flashing in the eyes of some of them.

"Mr. Lin, stop joking..." The officer's face twitched as he forced an awkward smile. "I guess that's not necessary now, is it?"

"I'm not discussing this with you." Lin Wang walked towards him step by step.

"Mr. Lin! You... don't have to do this!" The officer was anxious. He looked at Gou Ge and gritted his teeth. "Even if I am willing to apologize, do you think this mercenary would dare to listen?"

"Whether he dares to apologize is his business. Whether you apologize or not is your business." Lin Wang said, walking towards the officer, "But I'm not interested in wasting time with you... You won't apologize? I'm here to help you."

He walked up to the group of soldiers and raised his hand.

After a biting cold, a layer of white frost covered the uniforms of these people, but other than that, the soldiers were unharmed.

The soldiers looked at each other, not understanding why Lin Wang did this.

The next second, the white frost on the soldiers' uniforms suddenly turned into flames, crackling and burning.

The soldiers were startled and clapped their hands quickly.

After the flames died down, the soldiers' uniforms were all in a miserable state of tattered, charred, and riddled with holes.

The burnt holes in the uniforms of several soldiers even revealed their fair skin. They bent over and hugged their chests in an attempt to cover the holes.

The officer's face was so dark that water could drip out of it. He gritted his teeth and said, "...Thank you for your hospitality! Goodbye!"
