Chapter 1216: Chapter 911, Church Opens

In the Ghost’s sight.

At the church entrance, some protesting residents gathered.

These people gathered at the Holy Court’s entrance, shouting disorganized reasons for refusing to build the church.

The Ghost’s sight flew over the crowd, soon noticing a figure.

It was a dwarf, with a gray hood, wearing an ordinary resident’s brown robe, moving among the crowd, occasionally glancing at the Patrol Guard across the street.

The Ghost flew directly down, floating beside the person.

The dwarf first moved to the front of the crowd, leading the chant, “Gold and Silver Island doesn’t need a church….”

Then, he moved to the back, amidst some onlookers, persuading, “If this church is built, we won’t have a peaceful life. Evil professions, extreme believers, and hostility from the Holy Court will make Gold and Silver Island even more chaotic than two years ago.”

After watching for a while, the Ghost ended the shared view and flew back.

Wu Heng released the Ghost again, his expression relaxed slightly.

It wasn’t as serious as imagined, and the people gathered at the church entrance weren’t too many either.

Lifting his head again, he looked at the Elf Sisters opposite, “Found it, there’s a dwarf with a gray hood in the crowd, leading the residents.”

The sisters exchanged a glance, as efficient as ever.

They had just sat down, and before the association explained, they found the person.

“Just one dwarf? What level?” Xi Ligui asked.

“Level 9! There must be others behind him.” Wu Heng thought for a moment and said.

Xi Ligui didn’t speak, leaned back in thought, and said, “You shouldn’t step in. Someone might be waiting for you to lead the team out and then carry out other plans.”

Shi Yali raised an eyebrow, “Possible, a level 9 person provoking you, a hero, sounds very strange.”

That certainly seems possible.

A temporary protest like this can’t achieve much.

Wu Heng asked, “Do you have a plan?”

Xi Ligui smiled and said, “I’ll step out as a steward to explain. My reputation on the island isn’t as high as yours, but it’s quite significant.”

Saying that, she confidently raised her head.

“Thank you for your effort then, I await your news.” Wu Heng nodded.

“Mm!” Xi Ligui agreed, getting up and putting on her clothes.

She left the study with Shi Yali.

Wu Heng remained in the study, waiting for news.

…

At the church entrance.

The protesting residents continued to chant slogans scatteringly.

As time passed, more people were persuaded and joined the protest.

Clatter~!

At this time, footsteps echoed from the association’s direction, and three teams from the association stood opposite the crowd.

The shouting abruptly quieted, watching the opposite side warily.

In the crowd, the dwarf lowered the hood on his head, carefully retreating to the back, eyes full of anticipation as he watched the assembled troops opposite.

Just one step away from achieving his goal. As long as the two sides clash, it’ll suffice.

“This is Gold and Silver Island, we are not afraid of you….”

The leader’s shout led the crowd to chant louder.

Xi Ligui glanced at the person’s position, gestured for the association squad and the Skeleton Guard to step back two steps, and said loudly, “I just communicated with the Island Master, willing to listen to everyone’s opinions, come with me to the meeting room, and I’ll record your thoughts.”

Her voice, low and strong, spread through the crowd.

Residents whose emotions had just been agitated exchanged glances, whispering about the steward’s proposal.

Xi Ligui continued, “Don’t you trust the association? And this isn’t the place to discuss things.”

“Alright, we’ll go with you.” Someone said loudly.

Xi Ligui smiled and said, “Let’s go to the meeting room.”

After saying that, she turned and walked toward the association, followed by the crowd.

The dwarf, watching everyone inside, turned to leave.

Just turning into an alley, five figures blocked both sides of the alley’s entrance.

The dwarf’s eyes narrowed, “What do you mean?”

“The Fifth Squad of the association, come back with us!”

…

Association, dungeon.

The damp, cold dungeon was filled with a musty, rotten smell.

The dwarf’s hands were bound behind him, his hood, and his clothes were stripped off and thrown aside.

“There were so many protesting, why catch me? I was just joining in the fun, I firmly support the Lord Island Master,” the dwarf said in a panicked tone.

“Who sent you to incite the residents? Telling us directly or us finding out will have different outcomes,” a squad captain said coldly.

The dwarf firmly said, “I really was just joining in the fun, shouting along, I admit my fault, I apologize to the Island Master, and the association, I know I was wrong.”

Saying that, he began to sob.

Tap tap tap~!

At this moment, light footsteps came from the staircase entrance.

The squad members turned to look and saw Wu Heng walking over, leading a Skeleton with a cavity in its forehead.

“Leader!” The association members saluted.

The island residents call him the Island Master, the association members need to call him Leader.

He was appointed by headquarters as Leader.

In the corner, the sobbing dwarf paused, cautiously glanced outside, eyes filled with terror and unease.

Wu Heng glanced over, “Have you found out anything?”

The captain said, “His name is Hayes, a level 9 Bard, he was carrying a sachet-type tool, which is sold in shops and can influence the emotions of those around.”

“He doesn’t admit to inciting the residents, only says he was just going along for fun.”
