Chapter 156: Surprise
Yes, Heath was thinking about the Dark Cloud Beast in his hometown, Graystone Castle.
Since he knew the value of the Dark Cloud Beast, Heath wanted to keep it. Now that his forces had been mobilized, it was appropriate to get it to build a protective array.
Then, Heath talked to everyone about this problem.
Paul asked, “The Forgotten Land? How long will it take to go back and forth?”
Heath said, “If it’s fast, it might take a few months. If it’s slow, it might take two to three years. At the latest, it won’t take more than five years.”
Paul frowned. “That long?”
Now that the Holy Church had just started to make some progress, it was not appropriate for Heath, the founder, to just walk away.
Heath explained, “It doesn’t matter. The Holy Church is now able to operate in all aspects. There’s actually nothing for me to do if I stay here. It’s a pity if that Dark Cloud Beast is missed on.”
This was not to say that he was s.h.i.+rking responsibility, but it was the truth.
After this period of hard work, the various powers and frameworks of the Holy Church had been established. The only thing left was to wait for it to develop and grow by itself. There was no way to rely on external forces, so he could only use time to build things up. He would not be of much help even if he stayed here.
As for whether Paul and the others would take over after he left, the entire system of the Holy Church was built by him, and the secret door of the Holy Knights was also buried completely…
The Wizard World was a world where strength spoke for itself. With just the few of them… It was not that Heath looked down on them… That was the truth…
In short, they did not doubt the people they employed and did not doubt the people they suspected. They worked together as one. They were all partners of Heath’s who had gone through thick and thin together. If they had different ideas… Then Heath would not mind kicking them out at any time.
However, from the looks of it, they were still relatively happy working together.
Peter asked, “What if there are enemies?”
Heath said, “I’ll leave some battle spells for everyone to learn. Also, before I leave, I’ll set up some magic arrays. It’s basically no problem for me to defend against enemies below the rank of Wizard.”
As for those above the rank of Wizard…
To be honest, it was impossible for him to fight against Wizards if he stayed. He had just advanced and was not arrogant enough to fight against veteran Wizards directly, not to mention that it might expose his strength and cause a series of problems…
After a pause, he continued, “As for opponents above the Wizard level, we all know how high the possibility is.”
Although their small gains seemed to be a lot, it was far from enough to attract the attention of the Wizards. For wizards, the real territory was in the Underdark Treesea. Before the dispute over there was over, it was basically impossible for Wizards to come to the human world to steal money.
Didn’t Heath dare to build a territory here because he saw the chaos in the Underdark Treesea?
“Now that Red Devil’s Blood is gone, as long as everyone doesn’t cross the border and show off, it shouldn’t be a problem to go to other Wizard organizations to steal territory.”
“Just focus on developing.”
“Let’s wait for this place to grow first, and then we’ll go to the Underdark Treesea to find a place to stand.”
Heath did not quite understand the meaning of building a high wall, acc.u.mulating grain, and slowly becoming a king when he was reading history. However, ever since he had extracted the knowledge left behind by Campbell, Heath realized that he had somehow understood the essence of it.
It was not just this, but also the various aspects of establis.h.i.+ng the Holy Church and developing their influence in the past few days.
Although many of these came from the cultural history that he had come into contact with in the past on Blue Star, the key factor that allowed Heath to be able to integrate them was the information he had previously extracted from those who had their own patterns.
Otherwise, if it was Heath himself…
He had been an ordinary white-collar worker in the city before, and his horizons were actually not that broad…
“Then… alright.”
“You must bring back the Dark Cloud Beast.”
The matter had been decided.
Before leaving, Heath had made a comprehensive military deployment to the entire Kingdom of Navi, including the deployment of defense, garrisons, defensive magic arrays, and so on in key strategic locations.
In addition, he also combined magic and military, such as setting up magic devices that could sense elemental fluctuations in important towns, strategic locations, and so on, and magic potions that could prevent mental attacks.
In short, after his series of deployments, the Wizards… They didn’t dare to say, but against Apprentices that dared to have designs on this place… There was no problem.
So, Heath set off on his journey…
Oh! That wasn’t right.
Before he set off, there was a small incident that needed to be explained.
…
A few days before he left the Church of Light, at the Long Hair Princess Tower.
“Phew!”
Standing under the tower, Heath let out a sigh of relief.
These few days had really tired him out. Setting up magic arrays, mobilizing the army, explaining and training the Holy Knights… There wasn’t a single person in the entire Church of Light who could fight. In terms of military matters, he really had to do everything himself.
‘If I have the chance in the future, I still have to groom an heir…’
Heath silently reminded himself. He chanted an incantation and his body floated off the ground, slowly flying towards the tower above.
The church’s meditation room had not been repaired, and some of the internal magic facilities were not fully prepared. Thus, Heath was basically still living alone in the Long Hair Princess Tower.
The height of more than ten meters pa.s.sed in an instant. Soon, Heath entered the tower.
He took off his cloak and was about to take a shower. However, at this moment, he felt that something was wrong.
“Someone is there?”
His five senses as a Knight allowed him to sense the presence of another person in the room. It seemed that someone had used some kind of spice, and there was a special fragrance that was very obvious.
However, he did not receive any spiritual information. It seemed that the other party had used some kind of method to hide their spiritual power.
Was it a Wizard? Or a Knight?
What was the purpose?
a.s.sa.s.sination?
Where did the enemy come from? Even if it was an enemy, they should have gone to a.s.sa.s.sinate Peter, Emily, and the others. Why did they come to a.s.sa.s.sinate him? And why did they use such a heavy spice for the a.s.sa.s.sination?
Heath was puzzled. He frowned and looked around. Soon, he locked onto a large wooden box in the corner of the room. He felt that the person was hiding in this box.
He was even more confused now.
What kind of a.s.sa.s.sin would hide in the box to a.s.sa.s.sinate? Were they trying to scare someone to death?
He asked sincerely, “You didn’t tell me you were coming to visit?”
As he spoke, his power as a Wizard spread out so that he could control the person as soon as they appeared.
The box did not move.
Heath continued, “Do you still want me to invite you out?”
After a moment of silence…
Click! The box opened.
A figure stood up from within. When he saw the other party’s face, Heath could not help but be stunned.
With big watery eyes, beautiful facial features, and a graceful figure, the person standing in the box was a beautiful girl, and he knew this girl.
It was Paul’s sister, Celia.
Celia looked at Heath, her big eyes full of curiosity. “Ah, how did you know I was here?”
Heath asked back, “What are you doing?”
As he spoke, he glanced out of the window, and then he noticed that there were traces of rapid growth on the nettles on the stone wall. It seemed that she had used plant magic to climb up.
Celia said unhappily, “You don’t welcome me?”
“I originally wanted to give you a surprise, Big Brother Heath.”
Heath raised his eyebrows.
Only then did he notice that this little girl was obviously different from her usual self. She had even put on a layer of exquisite makeup and changed into a dress.
Her arms and shoulders were bare, and a large part of her snow-white skin was exposed. It was unknown whether she had used perfume or spices on her body. An indescribably alluring fragrance mixed with the unique body fragrance of a virgin filled the air.
Heath began to ponder over the scent…
He could not help but laugh. “Then what kind of surprise is Miss Celia going to give me?”
Celia pouted. “You’ve already seen through it. What kind of surprise can there be?”
Heath continued, “Then how about I give you a surprise?”
Celia asked curiously, “What?”
Heath hooked his right hand in that direction. Under the guidance of the Wizard’s Hand, the girl let out a soft cry and fell into Heath’s arms.
Then, he put one hand on the girl’s slender waist. The moment their skin touched, he could clearly feel the girl’s entire body tensing up as if she had been electrocuted. However, she did not resist. Instead, she obediently leaned into Heath’s arms.
Heath conveniently tilted his head down and gently kissed the girl’s earlobe. He asked softly, “Is this considered a surprise?”
The girl did not speak.
Heath placed one hand on the girl’s skirt and pulled it back gently. He easily pulled the girl’s skirt down, and half of her body was naked in front of Heath.
He continued to ask, “How about this?”
The girl’s face turned red. She still did not speak. She only slightly twisted her body, causing her skirt to completely slide down.
She stripped herself naked as fast as she could.
Heath asked, “Then… How about this?”
As he spoke, he made the girl…
