Chapter 60-2
"The traces of demons have appeared in the north again. Morris, you lead the Fifth Reserve Templar Knight Squad to investigate." In the religious tribunal the next morning, a Chief Justice spoke.
"What?" The Protagonist of the sign-in flow's expression changed upon hearing this news because his name was Morris, and Long Hua was just his name before he crossed over.
"Damn it, we're going to be sent out!" The Protagonist of the sign-in flow quickly informed the group. Because he knew that the Fifth Reserve Templar Knight Squad… was a team where the Protagonist of the Templar Knight Order was located.
The two of them were unexpectedly being sent out of the city! Once outside the city, the opponent's operating space would be too large! Moreover, the opponent was so openly sending them out to resolve it!
Sure enough, is it time to be slaughtered?
"Why can he interfere in so many matters of the tribunal? Damn it, I won't go. I'll take sick leave!" The Templar Knight Protagonist was also panicked.
Once outside the city, even if he was with other Templar Knights, it would still be dangerous. He was only in the Reserve Knight Order, and the other Templar Knights were all second-tier in strength. This strength could deal with ordinary armies, but facing a sixth-tier or higher powerhouse, they would be wiped out directly. The fifth-order ones couldn't kill them because their equipment was too good.
"Chief Judge, I am not feeling well… Can someone else go in my place?" The Protagonist of the sign-in system asked.
"Are you feeling unwell? I can arrange for a healer to treat you." said the Chief Justice who appointed him.
"What?" The Protagonist of the sign-in flow felt his spirits sink."I can't even take sick leave! This is ridiculous!" The Templar Knight Protagonist vented his frustration in the group. However, his ranting had no effect, and he could only fume helplessly.
In the Protagonist group, others saw their conversation and were relieved, thinking, "It's terrifying. You really have no choice but to go. Fortunately, I am not in the capital."
Even the two hiding in the Holy See, Count of Moshi Territory unexpectedly wanted to forcibly gather them and have them killed.
Due to their conversation yesterday, the other Protagonists already knew what happened yesterday. Originally, some Protagonists envied them for reaching Silver Level. Now, they naturally no longer envied them! This was a typical case of being fattened up and then slaughtered!
In the end, these two Protagonists had no choice but to go. They knew that Su Mo would definitely target them this time, but there was nothing they could do. What could they do? Defying orders was definitely not an option, and exposing Su Mo's plan to the tribunal? Who would believe them!
As these two Protagonists left the city with a group of Templar Knights, the Protagonist of the sign-in flow checked his panel. He didn't see any warnings, which eased his mind slightly.
"Let's slip away midway. Myles and the Holy Level were most likely killed by him. This squad of Templar Knights won't be able to protect us," suggested the Protagonist of the sign-in flow.
"Okay, when we reach the small town ahead, let's disguise ourselves and sneak away," decided the Templar Knight Protagonist. If the other side was determined to take action, this squad of Templar Knights couldn't protect them. It was better to disguise themselves and quietly slip away.
Finally, they reached the small town. Then, these two individuals found an opportunity, changed into different clothes, altered their appearances, and quietly slipped away.
"Go!" The two headed in one direction, quickly leaving the area. Soon, they were far from the capital.
"Haha, unexpectedly, we escaped!"
"Let Lance and Wu Fan fight with him in the capital. From now on, we can soar freely like birds," the two Protagonists thought they had escaped and burst into laughter.
However, their laughter had just begun when everything before them changed. The next second, they knew nothing.
^"It's done. I finally repaid the favor I owed him." A figure descended, clapped his hands, and put these two Protagonists into a spatial bag.
"There is no news from these two guys either. Lance, have they replied to your message?" In the library, the sweeping monk Protagonist was asking Lance, who was nurtured by the core of the Holy See.
"No reply. It looks like the situation is not good," Lance said indifferently.
"This is not good. Count of Moshi Territory is too powerful. He can directly intervene in the matters of the Holy See. What identity does he have now in the tribunal? Do you know? Will he become the Holy Son?" asked the sweeping monk Protagonist.
"It's impossible. If he becomes the Holy Son, the Holy See won't keep silent, and besides, the Crescent Moon Goddess has never chosen a Holy Son. Don't worry too much. Wait a while, and I'll make sure he can't borrow the power of the Holy See again!" Lance remained calm and said.
"Okay, then I'll hide in the library. I don't believe that he won't make any mistakes, and the old guy can guarantee that he won't mobilize me. Does he dare to touch me in the library?" said the sweeping monk Protagonist.
After that, he closed the panel. Watching the number of Protagonists in the capital decrease from twenty to just two, the sweeping monk Protagonist also felt a bit anxious. Although he thought Su Mo wouldn't dare to touch him here, what if?
"I must improve my strength at all costs, and extract it!" The sweeping monk Protagonist made a decision. Last time, while the old man guarding outside was out fighting, he extracted many benefits on the second floor. His strength was already very strong. However, compared to Count of Moshi Territory, it was far from enough.
"That book… Should I extract it?" The sweeping monk Protagonist hesitated. He found an ancient book on a shelf that contained a lot of divine power, but the divine power did not seem to belong to the Heavenly Realm but rather to a Demon God. Although it was a Demon God, with his golden finger, once extracted, it could be used for himself.
Similarly, he wouldn't leave any hidden dangers. However, his hesitation lay in the fact that, in the Holy See, if there was any commotion during the extraction, it could be very dangerous. The divine power within that ancient book was currently sealed by a magic circle existing on the pages of the book. He had some confidence in the extraction. Once successful, his strength would greatly advance.
"Let's try!" In the end, watching Protagonists die one by one, the sweeping monk Protagonist decided to take the risk. He glanced outside, then approached the bookshelf, took the book down, and carefully walked to the innermost part.
Pretending to read, he casually set up a very small magic circle, covering the book. Then, he activated his golden finger and began the extraction. Unexpectedly, the extraction went quite smoothly. In no time, he continuously extracted the divine powers.
"So smooth!" The sweeping monk Protagonist revealed a smile. It was too smooth; his golden finger was indeed powerful. The divine power entered the golden finger, quickly transforming into his own power, boosting his strength.
This transformation would take some time to completely convert the energy in his body into his own. If a strong individual came in, they would notice the abnormality in his body. Hence, it was somewhat risky. However, based on his understanding, the library was rarely visited during this time, and the old man wouldn't enter. So, as long as he was careful, it was completely manageable.
Before long, more than half of the extraction was complete. Just as it was about to finish, a sudden change occurred. The remaining divine power suddenly exploded. This divine power belonged to a Demon God. As it burst open, demonic energy immediately filled the entire library.
Subsequently, the magical prohibition within the library was triggered, and the alarm blared.
"Oh no!" The sweeping monk Protagonist's face changed dramatically. He had never expected such consequences.
Faintly… he suddenly remembered... when Count of Moshi Territory came to the library, casually flipping through books, he seemed to have touched this particular book!
"Could this also be his doing?" The sweeping monk Protagonist thought about this. If it was Count of Moshi Territory's doing, why did he move on this book so early? Where did the divine energy inside come from?
Although it seemed unlikely, the sweeping monk Protagonist inexplicably felt that… he had fallen into a trap set by Su Mo early on!
"How dare you use demonic power in the library!" Several powerhouses in the library surrounded him. With a single glance, they could tell what had happened. While they didn't know about his golden finger, he hadn't completely digested the divine energy inside his body!
"It's over!" The sweeping monk Protagonist felt despair.
