Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Before Aifei could remind her, she saw Li Ang's left hand turn around and accurately strangle the attacker's throat. It seemed that with just a little force, he broke the neck of the fairy dragon whose illusion had not been broken.

Although she was not worried that Li Ang would be hurt by the extraordinary monster, this action also made Aifei slightly stunned.

Soon, the monsters here were killed by the two of them, leaving behind a pile of fairy dragon eggs.

"These things are useful to me," said Li Ang.

Elafia nodded, and the two of them cleaned up the battlefield, but they didn't get any clear clues.

She went out and gave a signal, and members of the Order Investigation Team came over. It seemed that if they wanted to know anything, they would have to watch their interrogation of the gang members.

The progress of the investigation into those who entered the city has reached this point for now. Although there are still many problems that have not been solved, this is already a huge improvement after Leon joined.

Li Ang and his companion set out on their journey home.

Halfway through the walk, Alafia suddenly asked, "What are your plans next?"

"What do you mean? How to deal with the fairy dragon? If the strongest one has stronger transformation and displacement abilities, I'll use wide-area slowing. Oh, this is my new secret technique—"

"I mean, after the resolution meeting."

Ella Fia didn't look directly at Leon, her gaze occasionally looking elsewhere.

"This has already been decided. My goal in forming a group is to return to the top group rankings."

Elafia said, "Don't you want to consider yourself first? There are many high-level sky knights here who know how to remove negative magic effects. Stay here for a while and try their methods in turn."

"It probably won't work. I've never met anyone who knows more about spiritual manipulation than me. The devil's curse is from a spiritual level."

Because of her trust in Li Ang, she also believed that he was telling the truth.

The girl was silent for a moment, and Leon said, "Besides, making the team a super group is all for myself. Only when we reach that level will we be qualified to take charge of a piece of land.

"You want to build a country? Or hold power?"

"One reason is to prove myself. You could think of this as a man's competitive spirit. If there's absolutely no hope, then forget it. But if there's a chance of success, it feels like it would be too hard not to try. I wanted to reach that position before, but now I want to go back just to give myself an explanation, to prove that I didn't get there by following the Soul Peak.

"The other reason is more practical. I just don't want to be controlled by others."

Li Ang thought about his past life and the past. In fact, even if one has extraordinary powers in this world, one cannot be free and unrestrained at will.

"Making a living anywhere in Newbis is not easy. If you want to live well, you have to become stronger. But when you want to do something, you will encounter more and more difficulties. Only when you reach the level of a group, it seems that there is a chance to breathe.

"In short, there's not much one person can accomplish on their own. People don't give you much respect if you rely on yourself. Being part of a group makes a lot of things easier. You don't have to go around looking for solutions to achieve a goal. You can solve whatever you want to do openly. I hope this can be the case with everything I do."

"You're talking about the bank, right? Are you complaining about me?"

The petite girl crossed her arms, her head slightly lowered. "I used the proper procedures to help you, but that also blocked your path to dealing with them. You've been feeling very uncomfortable these days, but since our last meeting, I've been telling you not to seek revenge. I'm being unkind. You're right to blame me. I just hope you don't get into more trouble. Soul Apex and the Holy City Bank are both very powerful."

Li Ang said, "Your idea is sound. While you benefit from the guild's order, you must also uphold its rules. Unless you are incredibly powerful, you cannot transcend its rules. Acting recklessly will only land you in trouble."

He smiled softly at Alafia: "As for the bank, this matter is not over yet."

Li Ang recalled today's events and connected them step by step.

He sighed, "I had no intention of returning to the Holy City. I went to the Flashing Fields to collect earth-attribute equipment and cut down trees on Mengze Island. But I encountered a demon and was called back by the Knight Resolution Council."

"As for my curse, let's see what's said at tomorrow's meeting. Maybe the Speaker knows something? We'll see tomorrow."

"If I can help you gain benefits, I will do my best." said Alafia.

……

The night passed, and the next morning, Leon brought his team members to the central area of the Holy City.

Not only did he need to attend the meeting, but the girls also needed to attend because they had seen the devil. Mott was also waiting not far away. When he saw Leon and his group coming, he nodded in greeting.

Originally, Farina was also going to attend the meeting, but in the eyes of the dragon witch, finding the six dragons was a more important matter, so she did not rush to the holy city at this time.

The Parliament Tower seemed so majestic from a distance, and when it was right in front of her, it blocked her entire view. Zoe had to tilt her head back until her head hurt to see the light at the top, sighing constantly.

After Ellaphia arrived, she led everyone into the Parliament Tower.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the strict guards here. The order knights who are dedicated to this place are wearing silver armor and have serious expressions, ensuring the majesty of the highest power.

In the middle of the lower hall of the tower is a circular elevator with gorgeous handrails. After everyone stands on it, it verifies Douding's authority and quickly starts up in the magic wrapping, lifting everyone directly to the parliament hall in the clouds.

The girls exclaimed, this elevator was even more exciting than the one in the Gate of Glory.

This was also Leon's first time here. Generally speaking, the Cavaliers would not invite outsiders to their routine decision-making meetings.

After a quick ascent, everyone arrived at a hall where they could see white clouds outside the window.

Here, you can see several golden staircases extending upwards, leading directly to the open-air parliament hall. Just looking at them, you can feel like stepping directly into the clouds.

In fact, what you step into is not only the clouds of reality, but also the top of world power.

There were some people gathered in front of the ladder. Judging from their clothes, they were of high status, but they were talking a little loudly, and the atmosphere gave people the impression that they did not belong here.

Leon frowned. He saw the person at the pinnacle of the soul. It was not Ramsay, but someone who was very loyal to him.

But in fact, this person is okay. Li Ang had already made mental preparations to meet the top soul members in the Holy City. He just didn't expect this person to come here. However, when he saw the man next to him, everything seemed to make sense.

The man wearing a gorgeous robe and maintaining a deliberate elegance during the conversation, Leon could see his name on the panel - Yusain Chaaiin.

178. Golden Glory Guardian

Yusain is a powerful figure in the Holy City, and Leon has known him for a long time.

However, his surname was never made public, and perhaps only the upper echelons of the guild knew this fact. Li Ang had little contact with them, so he didn't know his surname was "Cha Ain".

This information is very important.

For ordinary people, the key point is that he is a descendant of Lichman Chaain. As for Leon, it can be said that his new journey since leaving the Soul Peak is closely connected with Zoe, and "Chaain" was mentioned in her father's notes regarding her life experience, which may be closely related to the secrets of her.

If it was just a person with the same name, Cha Ain, who was met on the roadside, then he would not necessarily be related to Zoe's mysterious father.

But at the level of a guild founder...

The couple is also closely connected to the Star Soul hidden beneath the surface of the world.

The standards of both parties are very high, so there is a high probability that they know each other.

Usain controlled his voice, as if blaming the person opposite him.

"...Why did they convene a knights' meeting so suddenly? Why didn't I know about such a serious matter in advance?"

The man across from Usain responded in a steady voice, "This involves top-secret guild matters, and it happened suddenly."

"That should be told to me." Usain waved his hand, pointing to the vast city beneath the parliament tower. "I'm responsible for the operation of the Holy City."

The man being rebuked by Yusain had a handsome face, with long golden hair tied into a braid behind his back. Even a simple white robe could highlight his extraordinary temperament.

He held a golden staff slightly higher than his shoulder, which looked like both a scepter and a staff. All the Sky Knights in the front rank of the Holy City knew that it was a staff, a treasure.

If Usain is maintaining a respectable and aristocratic image, then this man is a true aristocrat.

His name is Sisyphus Ovega, and his personal merit ranking is ninth among the Knights of the Sky. He is the Golden Guardian and is also the Speaker elected by the House of Representatives.

"Although this incident is related to the Holy City, it is more related to the entire Newbis."

Yusain said, "The Holy City is the center of the world. It is the highest place in Newbiss. The Holy City should be supported by Quankong, not the other way around."

"We should each do our part, and this is not something for you to worry about, Usain," said Sisyphus.

"Everyone doing their job? The most irresponsible ones are some members of parliament. Weren't all of them not summoned this time?"

Usain's gaze fell on the person next to him. "I have a well-founded suggestion that the composition criteria of the Council should be adjusted."

The man he was looking at was the main force of Soul Apex, a Storm Warlock.

When Ramsay revealed his true face and announced that he would kick Leon out, the person who agreed the most and mocked him the most was this person. His name was Willger, and his dark green hair was curly and dry as if it had been soaked in salt water for a long time. His magic was restless and violent.

Based on Leon's understanding of Ramus, after repeated failures in the attack, he would definitely let the team members disperse to work, some to win over forces, and some to prepare funds and equipment to prepare for the future.

The latter is usually a bit punitive in nature, specifically designed to intimidate those who have an unstable foundation in the group and those he already has opinions about, while the former is usually those he trusts more.

Wilger came to Usain Chaain, representing Ramus's intention. Leon was basically certain that Soul Apex had joined forces with Usain.

Yusain's early life was mysterious, and since he was a member of the Cha'ain family, it may have been deliberately concealed.

On the surface, he climbed up the guild step by step, not relying on strength and merit.

Therefore, it was common for him to hire powerful sky knights.

Li Ang couldn't help but glance at Mort. He was thinking, "Have you ever taken on his work before?"

But Mott seemed to understand what he was thinking and nodded slightly.

Wilger guards Usain, and a very likely scenario is that Usain wants to intervene in the Knights' decision-making meeting through Ramsay.

According to the rules, at the end of the year, the personnel of the resolution meeting will change, and the leader who ranks first or has reached the second soul peak will naturally get one of the seats.

It’s possible that Usain didn’t even try to hide it, deliberately demonstrating his status in front of Speaker Sisyphus.

Sisyphus shook his head and stopped talking to him. He turned his gaze to Leon and his group who had reached the top floor.

When he looked at him, Yusain didn't react yet, but Wilger noticed him first.

"Ouch!"

Wilger took a step forward, and the magic around him gave people a feeling that made people's hair stand on end.

It wasn't that he had any aura, but rather that the tendency of his magic created static electricity in the air, which didn't affect people's emotions, but caused a sense of anxiety due to their physical sensations.

"Did we take the wrong road? Leon, is this where you're supposed to be?"

Wilger sneered, "Only those at the top of the world are eligible to participate in the Knights' Council. Without the reputation of our group, is a sorcerer qualified to come? Or do you think..."

"Are you talking about yourself?"

Leon looked Wilger up and down. His equipment had changed. The gloves and cape in Leon's configuration had become two more powerful pieces of equipment. Overall strength was increased, but combat endurance and fluency would probably be affected.

His dry hair was not caused by his ability or equipment, but simply by malnutrition in his early years. Coming from a humble background, he did everything he could to climb up the ladder, and he didn't know how to treat people.

But he couldn't resist the powerful bloodline. After awakening the power of storm, he obtained spellcasting knowledge from the Magic Guild, gradually mastered the power in his body, and became a bully among adventurers.

He was beaten half to death after encountering the Soul Apex, but Ramsay thought that if he surrendered he could become a useful fighting force, so he tried to recruit him into the group despite the protests of many people at the time.

To Ramsay, this person's advantage is that he will submit to power, and as long as he is given a bone, he will do things relatively honestly, so a few barks from time to time are nothing.

But just like a vicious dog is only pleasing to its master, even those speculative members who joined the group just for the title of Soul Pinnacle do not like Wilger.

When he was in the group, Li Ang would ignore some situations in order to ensure the smooth running of group activities.

It's not necessary now.

Leon smiled at Wilger and said, "You're a wild dog from a garbage dump, all you care about is fighting over scraps. There's no place for you to bark here. Go back and lick Ramsay's stinky feet. That way, he won't be so embarrassed when he loses everything and rolls back home in the mud. That's your greatest use, you rubbish who doesn't even understand tactics."

Wilger's expression froze on his face.

"Haha."

Zoe couldn't help laughing: "He was stunned, so stupid."

Being ridiculed by the girl, Willger was about to lose his temper, but in order to understand what Leon said, he couldn't concentrate on targeting Zoe. It took him more than ten seconds to digest what he said before he fell into a rage.

The magic power he controlled surged around his body, strong winds arose from the ground, and thunder could be heard.

"How dare you, a jerk, cast a spell here!"

Alafia raised her hand, and all the silver blades that appeared around her were aimed at Wilger, causing him to pause.

"Okay, Li Ang, you actually went to lick her ass. No wonder you're so arrogant."

The Storm Warlock's words made Ella's expression change complicatedly for a moment, and then she said nothing, and stabbed Wilger with all her sharp blades without mercy.

"Oh, please calm down, this is the meeting room for the resolution meeting."

A young man standing on the other side of Yusain drew out a peculiarly shaped dagger in his hand and blocked the path of Alafia's flying blade.

The sharp edge of the dagger disintegrated into a purple whip, wrapping around the silver blade. A hissing sound immediately came from the place of contact, as if some force began to corrode the silver blade from the whip.

"Leader of 'Walking in the Clouds', Axiang." Li Ang called out his name.

This young man has black hair and an oriental-sounding name. He has a calm expression and is always smiling.

Leon took a look at the weapon used to stop Ella Fia's attack. It was the short sword "Erosion of Love and Hate", also made by Ernest.

Just now, Axiang was also talking to Usain.

Did Yusain promise some benefits? Even the leader of the casual Cloud Walk was so happy to talk to him? Leon wondered.

"Who is this?"

Just now, Wilger suddenly became furious, and Usain subconsciously activated the shield equipped on his body to avoid backwards. After seeing that it was safe, he removed the shield and came out again.

He didn't know Li Ang and waited for him to introduce himself.
