Batty had the impulse to sneak back several tis, but he ultimately resisted, knowing there was no luck involved here.
"Mr. Leo, it's good that you've cald down. According to what you said, Divpo City is sowhat like the early state of Wattan in the Fifth Era, where the Church's power is supre, deciding life and death. In such an environnt, it's crucial to protect yourself first. If you find a thod, you'll need even more patience," Cantona said.
"Thank you, Mr. Taurus, I won't act impulsively," Batty said, who was considered more steady among his peers and had matured significantly after going through so many things.
"This is sowhat difficult. According to your situation over there, a Lightkeeper must die for a new one to take over, or they have to wait indefinitely. What if the lighthouse malfunctions?" Estella asked.
"If the lighthouse malfunctions, a new Lightkeeper will lead a team to investigate, but as far as I know, the original Lightkeeper is still hard to escape punishnt," Batty replied.
Everyone fell silent for a while, realizing the so-called punishnt probably ant death.
It's a deadlock; no problem, no one cos, let alone returning. But if a problem arises and you return, you still die.
"You discovered a way to counter the whisper, maybe going back could be a great achievent that pardons your cri?" Estella suddenly suggested, "If you're confident about the thod."
Batty's heart was pounding, as this was also a possibility he speculated on. If he gained the recognition of the Chief Gate, his own fate didn't matter, but he could help the people of Divpo City solve the agony that had tornted them for a millennium.
The sound of chuckling.
"Naive," Christian said indifferently. "You're not afraid of dying fast enough."
Estella frowned, "Mr. Cancer, Divpo City has long been troubled by the whisper. If Mr. Leo found a solution, maybe their Chief Gate would take credit, but they might not necessarily be against Mr. Leo, right?"
"Miss Aries, you're too kind," Christian said gently. "In theory, that possibility exists, but in practice, there isn't even a chance. Divpo City's situation is very strange. The nature of this unheard-of Tri-Phase God remains uncertain, but for a whisper that the Tri-Phase God cannot solve to be solved by Roto, what position does that put those in the Chief Gate? The best case is to seize Leo's thod, then provide it for a few select people to use, or even better control the entire city."
"Miss Aries, Mr. Cancer is right. We can't compare Divpo City using our understanding of the Wattan Continent. According to the early state of the Fifth Era, Mr. Leo's discovery is more likely to be treated as heresy, and the thod will likely be seized by the Church. If the thod can't be used without Mr. Leo, the consequences would be even more severe," Cantona, from the Nether God's Court, said. Even in this era, the thods of the Church Court are frightening, let alone on the Mist Continent.
Batty instinctively looked toward Mr. Gemini, as Li Xin was pondering, completely agreeing with Cancer's and Taurus's assessnts. Going back was indeed quite troubleso.
Christian was speechless, wondering why he was looking at Gemini, thinking he was of any use. "Actually, this matter, if you say it's difficult, it is; if you say it's simple, it is."
Suddenly, everyone's eyes returned to Mr. Cancer, but Christian didn't continue, leaving everyone curious.
"Mr. Cancer, things might not be as easy as you say. Let's not hastily make suggestions that could put Mr. Leo in a predicant," Cantona said.
Christian glanced at Taurus indifferently. "Leo, can you attract so Lickers, the number in abundance?"
"I can, Mr. Cancer. The Mist Continent lacks everything except monsters," Batty nodded.
"Then it's simple. You lure them to the lighthouse, sabotage the torches, and then wait for them to co and pick you up, while you perhaps sustain so injuries," Christian said calmly.
"But Mr. Leo just ntioned that if the lighthouse guardianship is ineffective, they'd still be punished." Miss Aries said with so concern.
Li Xin suddenly realized, "Mr. Cancer, this is brilliant!"
Taurus was stunned, then understood, "Impressive!"
Mr. Leo and Miss Aries were still a bit puzzled.
"We overlooked one thing: Mr. Leo has a very high-level Divine Relic inside him, so regardless of life or death, he will be taken back. As long as the accident's circumstances are reasonable, there's a high probability Mr. Leo will safely remain in the city, though subsequent arrangents are uncertain; he might be monitored, but the chance of execution is very small," Li Xin explained.
Since a suitable container for a Divine Relic is rare to find.
"Indeed, first settle down back in the city. There will always be opportunities. Given Divpo City's situation, the Tri-Phase God Church must be extrely confident, and there must be gaps. Mr. Leo might even have the chance of a promotion," Cantona nodded, well understanding the Church.
"Leo, as long as you behave in line with the Church's needs, there's definitely a great opportunity. They desperately need an obedient and controllable vessel, and under such circumstances, offering you incentives is perfectly logical," Christian waved his hand.
The laws an nothing; what matters are the needs from above.
Batty didn't quite understand, but he trusted everyone, standing up to thank them.
Everyone waved their hands, acknowledging that the real thanks should go to Mr. Cancer.
Christian recognized Leo's role, which was to help him establish authority. Then he looked gently at Miss Aries, exuding handsoness, gentlemanly deanor, wisdom, erudition, and strength...
"Ahem, I have another question," Li Xin said.
Christian was speechless; why was this person so troubleso? Still, since his leader image was here, he couldn't break it. Well, this ti he would show off and completely win them over. "Go ahead, there's nothing that can't be solved."
"I've been investigating the Dark Cuisine branch recently. Those who eat Dark Cuisine beco addicted and, when losing control, uncontrollably dig and consu the victim's heart. Is there a quick way to distinguish soone who has consud Dark Cuisine?" Li Xin asked.
Estella's heart skipped a beat, recalling the recent talk about the Inner Demon. She had been keeping an eye on it ever since, including Anthony's case, which she had heard her father ntion more than once.
Is this still Hedan Royal City, already infiltrated by the Dark Cuisine branch?
Seeing no one spoke, Li Xin continued, "If soone is already addicted, how long does it generally take for imprisonnt to make a person lose control?"
