Chapter 699: Chapter 275: Wizard Rein (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

He chuckled and said to Ganon, “Lord Ganon, if there are any materials you need for the ceremony that you lack, we can prepare them for you.”

“Thank you, that won’t be necessary; I have brought all the materials with me. By the way, Lord Raksul, what is the second matter you need our help with?”

“Hehe, that would require the use of the Earth Snake, we aim to break through a place located at…”

…

Time ticked by, and their Joden red tea had been refilled several times.

Logically, several hours had passed, and even if Holdan was slow, he should have sent a message half an hour ago since the Elim Mine is not far from County Town.

This made Archbishop Ganon of the Secret Snake Sect slightly furrow his brows, secretly musing, “Could this Rein really be so difficult to deal with?”

“But at most, they would have made Holdan return without success, they couldn’t possibly have kept Holdan there!”

Raksul’s expression also began to look grim.

It was still the same problem.

If something had happened to Lord Holdan of the Secret Snake Sect, and it occurred on their own Sect’s territory, it would naturally lead to criticism from the Secret Snake Sect.

At that moment, a Black Flame monk entered respectfully and reported, “Blood Burner sir, the latest news from County Town.”

After speaking, the Black Flame monk presented a small bamboo tube used for messaging.

Raksul immediately opened the note inside, and his expression grew increasingly worse!

Lastly, he handed the note to Archbishop Ganon of the Secret Snake Sect with considerable displeasure, and said:

“Lord Ganon, please take a look for yourself. This is the latest news passed from inside the Count Mansion by a confidant in our Sect.”

“Hmm?”

After taking it, Ganon just glanced at it, his expression changed, and he exclaimed, “What! Holdan has been captured?”

“Moreover, the situation described above, I find it unlikely. Holdan is not that kind of person.”

“Lord Ganon, the problem now is that because of Lord Holdan’s arrogance, not only has he been captured, but he has also alarmed the enemy. Clearly, they will now fortify their defenses, which puts us at a disadvantage!”

Ganon remained silent!

Holdan hadn’t returned, which astonished him!

But regardless, the Black Flame Cult wasn’t wrong.

It was true, the mission had indeed not been completed.

However, at that moment, Ganon suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked towards a corner of the room.

Suddenly, a long thin black snake appeared from the shadows of the room, quickly slithering to Ganon’s side.

“Holdan’s shadow snake,” Ganon said with a look of joy as he immediately picked up the small black snake.

He stared into the eyes of the shadow snake for a while.

Amidst the hissing breaths, Ganon’s expression turned dark, and he turned to look at Raksul, saying, “Hehe, now I know why Holdan failed.”

“The intelligence you provided was completely wrong!”

“This young man named Rein is actually a rare metal elemental wizard, not merely the Great Knight you mentioned!”

“What!” As if struck by thunder on a clear day, Raksul was instantly stunned!

“How is this possible!”

“I don’t know if it’s possible, but Holdan confirmed it himself in a confrontation, so there’s no falsehood in this.” Ganon gave a sly look at Raksul and continued:

“Moreover, the responsibility for the failure of this mission also needs to be borne by your Sect!”

“And because of your Sect’s incorrect intelligence, one of our high priests was captured by the other party; now what do you propose we do!”

“This….” This time, it was Raksul’s turn to fall silent.

If what the other party said was true, then undoubtedly, the fault lay with his own Sect’s intelligence.

As for the other party’s arrogance, that was just a minor irrelevant detail.

Besides, the communication was done through the shadow snake, which should be more accurate than their own Sect’s spies, so it was likely to be true.

After a long silence, Raksul said to Ganon, “Lord Ganon, how about this, we will hand over the Earth Snake to you right now, and you can begin the ceremony immediately.”

“Additionally, we will waive the second request.”

“But as for this Rein, who has severely injured and captured our Sect’s Lord Holdan, we can now say that he is a common enemy of both our Sects.”

“So, I hope we can collaborate fully to eliminate this highly threatening Rein!”

Upon hearing Raksul’s words, Ganon’s expression immediately softened.

His primary mission in coming to Meister was for the ancient creature–Earth Snake.

Since the other party had acknowledged the fault on their side, and had also agreed to let him proceed with the command ceremony right now, there was no point in pursuing some matters further.

After thinking it over, Ganon nodded and said, “Lord Raksul, you are right, this Rein has seriously injured and captured Holdan, so he must pay the price!”

“Let’s do this, I will conduct the ceremony now. Perhaps, we can use the power of the Earth Snake to eliminate them all!”
