Can't I develop my own character?

Their eyes met briefly and then quickly looked away. Adler glanced at the surrounding security measures, then saw Jonathan in the crowd, and his expression immediately turned cold.

If it weren't for Jonathan, that dog-skin plaster, who kept sticking to him, he wouldn't have taken such a risk. The previous attack on the train station was also blocked by him. Damn Jonathan, damn Fire Covenant.

The thought passed in a flash, and soon Adler regained his smile and followed the team into the church.

Inside the church, those attending Mass had already taken their seats. Father Peter stood beneath the statue of Janus, holding a book. Ryan, not attending Mass, stood in the upper left corner of the church, while Lin Qi had ambushed the area where Casradi was headed.

Jonathan was guarding outside the church, and the members of the Fire Covenant were also lying in ambush.

"...May we all be illuminated by the glory of Janus, and may all living things be free from suffering and enjoy eternal peace."

Peter's steady voice echoed in the church. The mass began on time and the whole church became unusually quiet.

The Mass at the Gate of Janus is mainly about promoting ritual and solemnity. The purpose is very simple, which is to promote the faith of Janus.

In the entire Rhea continent, Janus's followers account for more than half of the total population. In addition to Janus's own fame, this is also closely related to the operation of Janus Gate over the years.

"In the name of Janus, we march forward in glory."

“May the love and grace of God be with you.”

"..."

"..."

"Now, please confess your sins and sincerely repent of your sins."

“I confess to the Almighty God my faults in thought, word, and deed…” *N

Ryan: (_ _)( - . - )(~O~)…( - . - )

The mass ceremony was solemn and grand, but it was a bit boring for Ryan. He did not believe in Janus. Maybe when he had no money, he would say "thank you Janus" when he took two copper coins from the donation box, but now he had money, and a lot of money.

Bored, he opened the game. Last night, 'Xia Li' went to the altar again and found that the blood priest's sacrifice was still going on. Seeing that they did not find any abnormality with the Sword of Ares, Ryan was relieved.

At the moment, 'Charlie' is following Ryan's instructions to explore other ways out of the maze, that is, the correct entrance to the lower level of the dungeon. After all, she dug a hole down from the cell, which is obviously not the 'correct' way.

As a result, not long after Ryan opened the game, 'Xia Li' was successfully found.

Even though the time had only started last night, Ryan was still surprised by how quickly they had figured out the maze. Wasn't this AI too good to be true? Besides being unable to speak, it was completely different from the useless system he was familiar with on some cat site.

"I don't know where this leads to."

In the game interface, 'Charlie' was standing at the entrance of the maze. On the other side was a passage leading upwards, which should be the dungeon level, but Ryan was not sure where he would be after going up.

In order to avoid being discovered, 'Xia Li' returned along the same route and went back into the cell.

Edward next door just glanced at Charlie, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Ryan silently closed the game interface and continued to wait for nearly an hour before the long mass ceremony finally ended.

"Uncle Bill, I have something to do and need to leave for a while." Casradi whispered to Bill.

"Where are you going, Your Highness? Do you need me to send someone to take you there?"

"No need. I asked Captain Ryan to escort me. If everything goes well, I might even be able to have lunch with you in Edinburgh at noon."

"Okay, I'll have lunch prepared."

Casradi smiled and nodded, then gestured to Eco who was not far away, and the two of them walked in front of Ryan.

"Captain Ryan, please."

"It's my pleasure."

Ryan followed Casradi out the side door.

Adler kept watching them secretly until the three of them disappeared completely. He whispered to Bill beside him, "Mayor, the mass is over. I have something to do..."

Bill chuckled: "You've been busy lately, go back first, I'll chat with some old friends here."

"Ok."

Adler bowed slightly and quietly left the crowd.

...

ten minutes later.

In an alley on Shengning Street, Central City.

The members of the Dark Hand, led by Kasa, were rushing in one direction.

"Master Kasa, the other believers have been arranged to go there."

A transcendent rushed over and joined them.

Kasa nodded and asked, "Where are the Kasladi people?"

"I'm on the second floor of a cafe, and I seem to be meeting someone."

"How's the defense?"

"We've only seen a few sheriffs so far, but there must be extraordinary people working in secret."

"Let those believers go first and lead them out."

Casa had no intention of attacking the cafe. The situation inside was completely unknown, just like the train at that time. There was definitely an ambush, but rushing into it head-on would be stupid. He didn't have many people he could use.

And those external staff who joined the Dark Hand but did not become extraordinary people are obviously the best tools. What's more important is that these tools have guns in their hands!

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Adler specially prepared a batch of guns to equip those external personnel. Although these people had not received formal shooting training, with guns in hand, they followed him and their combat effectiveness soared.

When a group of fanatics armed with guns rushed towards the coffee shop, the entire Shengning Street fell into panic in an instant.

boom!

Boom!boom!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Protect the princess!"

The moment the gunshots rang out, the sheriff guarding the door of the coffee shop immediately rushed into the store and used the windows as cover to shoot outside. However, there were as many as twenty or thirty believers, and each of them shot directly into the doors and windows like sieves.

The gunfight didn't last long before several members of the Fire Covenant rushed out and began to encircle this group of crazy believers.

On the second floor, upon hearing the noise, Casladi immediately evacuated from the back door of the cafe.

"on!"

Seeing her appear, Kasa waved his hand, signaling the extraordinary people behind him to rush forward.

boom!

The first attacker was knocked away by a punch from Echo. At this time, Echo was wearing a pair of silver-white fist armor. Under the stimulation of magic power, the fist armor burst out with terrible power.

She successfully stopped the first few attackers, but she was alone, and a tiger could not stand up to a pack of wolves. Soon someone passed her and rushed towards Kasradi.

"Only two people?"

Kasa in the back frowned slightly. Even if it was an ambush, these few people were too lax... A quick fight and a quick decision.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Kasa took decisive action and summoned a shadow to chase after Kasradi.

But before he could get close, a stick emitting a scorching glow came out from the side. It was Jonathan.

"I knew you were setting an ambush!"

"You knew there was an ambush, yet you still came? You're fools! Haha!"

Jonathan laughed loudly, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all. He swung the stick with a whirring sound, and bursts of explosions filled the air.

In terms of power burst, Son of the Sun is very outstanding among many professions. The advantage of Humorous Shadow lies in shadow attack. In a head-on one-on-one fight, Kasa is not as good as Jonathan.

But if he joins forces with Shadow, his strength will be enough to suppress Jonathan.

But Kasa didn't want to waste even a second on Jonathan. He tried to break through and chase Kasradi several times, but was stopped by Jonathan every time.

Seeing that Kasradi was about to disappear at the end of the street, Kasa took out a piece of dead wood and threw it into the sky, muttering a spell quickly.

The next moment, the dead tree quickly grew larger, like the roots of a giant tree continuously growing and spreading, piercing the earth, and finally weaving a huge cage on the streets.

The cage separated him from Jonathan and also stopped the other members of the Fire Covenant who had just emerged.

This is a third-level extraordinary item!

He had wanted to use it before at the train station, but the number of people was too different at that time, and the sudden display of Kasladi's strength as a third-level transcendent caught everyone off guard.

Even if he used this tool, he alone would not be able to take Casradi away.

As for now...isn't Adler taking action personally?

The other party's strength is not weaker than his.

While Jonathan was blocked by the spreading branches, Casa chased after Kasradi.

Midtown is huge, but most places were packed, luckily it was Mass day.

Casladi ran all the way and finally arrived in front of the clock tower in the central square of the city. She did not continue running here, but instead unfolded the barrier of the other world.

A huge barrier suddenly covered the entire square. As soon as Kasa chased in, he immediately felt uncomfortable and some discordant sound entered his mind.

"not good!"

He immediately realized that he had been tricked.

This kind of mental attack usually comes from the influence of extraordinary props. As a princess, how could Casradi not have some good things on her?

"You think you can kill me?"

Casradi's cold voice came.

At this moment, she was no longer a noble princess, but more like a cold killer. She waved the magic wand in her hand, and the magic power condensed into a sharp knife that stabbed at Casa.

Adler rushed out at the critical moment.

He blocked the magic knife with his bare hands. Black mist was wrapped around Adler's palm, which actually dissolved Casradi's magic attack.

Kasradi frowned: "Soul Eater?"

"Your Highness is truly knowledgeable."

Adler smiled.

He is happy now, very happy.

All the people who were in the way were gone. Even if Kasiladi was strong, two against one, no, three against one, how could he lose with a flying dragon on his face?

"Be careful, she hid the relics here." Kasa broke free from the mental influence and looked around with vigilance.

The other world was set up by Casradi, which is very disadvantageous to them.

"Don't worry, eat this."

Adler handed a pill to Kasa.

"This is..."

"Something that can resist mental attacks. Don't ask, just eat it quickly."

If it weren't for catching Casradi, he wouldn't have been willing to take out such a precious thing. He only had five of these things in total, and one less would be one less.

"Adler, you're in cahoots with the Hand of Darkness," Casradi said coldly. "As an imperial official, you colluded with pagans to attack this princess. Who gave you the guts?"

Adler sneered, "Your Highness, your deceptive tactics are truly despicable. You want to know who's behind me, but do you think it's possible? Or, if you're willing to come with me, I can introduce you to someone."

"I choose to take you down, and then I have a hundred ways to make you speak."

Casradi raised her wand, and magic power quickly gathered.

"Is it just you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, please stop ignoring me, okay?"

A discordant voice broke in. Adler and Kasa turned around and saw Jonathan walking towards them with a stick.

"What's wrong with you!" Kasa was surprised. "You are obviously trapped by me!"

"Oh, that thing is really powerful. It took me a lot of effort to get it out."

In fact, when Kasa was using the props, Jonathan had already started to escape. He had a way of escaping, leaving a magic clone in the original place for a short time to confuse his opponent, which made Kasa mistakenly think that he was trapped inside.

As for why Jonathan was able to escape early, it was naturally because he learned about Casa's plan from Ryan. In order to ensure the success of the attack, Adler specially told Ryan the whole process in detail that day, including the purpose of Casa's prop.

Adler's original intention was to give Ryan confidence. If they could succeed, Ryan would not have to expose himself to attack Casradi.

If it fails, Ryan will use it as a trump card at that time.
