Chapter 216 An Su: How did you know that I caught a Fourth Order Cultist?
"Help! Someone is peeing in public!"@@novelbin@@
The whole alley fell into dead silence. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
The chilly wind of Xiao Se whistled through the dark alley, rustling the fragmented plane tree leaves at the street corner. Apart from that, the world was devoid of any extra sound. After Chaos Ladder had chanted that top-tier spell, everyone lapsed into silence.
Damn it.
An Su's eyelids twitched slightly as he watched the smug-looking Chaos Ladder expressionlessly. He knew none of those who followed the Mysticism of Chaos were good news.
They even came up with things like calling the Order Church to report someone for indecency.
That was totally contrary to natural law.
And he hadn't been peeing in public!
Chaos Ladder stared at An Su with a triumphant face, "Hmph, you're done for now."
Although he couldn't defeat An Su, he could annoy him to death.
Being a genius in the field of knowledge, Chaos Ladder had conducted cursory research on every aspect of the Imperial Capital before infiltrating it. Currently, the Farol Upper City District was striving to become a nationally civilized area, and there were plenty of Order Knights on street patrol.
Should they receive a report regarding uncivilized behavior, the Order Knights were sure to come and investigate.
After all, they could impose fines, so the Order Knights scrambled to be first on the scene, eager to claim a piece of the action.
Reporting such behavior worked better than reporting a murder since the knights couldn't profit off a homicide and would respond slower.
Chaos Ladder didn't expect the Order Knights to take his word for it, but as long as they were present, An Su wouldn't dare to use those terrifying forbidden Magic Powers for the sake of maintaining the image of a saint. Those fearsome Fifth Tier summons would also be withdrawn.
Then, he could take the opportunity to flee amidst the chaos!
Everything was going as he had anticipated,
And to execute his earth-shattering escape plan, he needed to shout loud enough. Chaos Ladder once again used Magic Power to amplify his voice, and the deafeningly loud complaint pierced through the alleys and numerous buildings, striking straight onto the street.
"Quick, someone come here! There's someone peeing on the street!"
Chaos Ladder was certain that his report had been heard and believed that within seconds, the patrolling Order Knights would arrive and they would bring An Su Moningsta, the evil Orthodox Church follower, to justice.
An Su's face darkened. He just wanted to have a typical hero's moment, a standard show-off and face-slapping scene, so why did these esoteric religion followers always manage to pull off such outrageous stunts...
He sighed softly, looking composedly at the cultist's performance. After a short while, there was no change in the alley, and not a single Order Knight came to issue a fine.
The smug Chaos Ladder was taken aback. He suspected that perhaps his voice wasn't loud enough, and the Order Knights on patrol hadn't heard him, so he maximized the Magic Power output,
"Come quickly—doesn't anyone care, there's someone peeing all over the place here!!"
He shouted until his face turned red and he was hoarse, with a vast amount of Magic Power almost choking in his throat, yet not a single Order Knight responded.
At this moment, on the street adjacent to the alley, Priest Paxi was leading his Order Knights on a routine patrol.
Large patches of orange sunlight spread over the white street, and Priest Paxi, walking in the center, felt that life couldn't be more peaceful and happy. Without the havoc wrought by that brat An Su for a month, the Farol Upper City District truly was a picture of national peace and happiness.
At that moment, one of his Order Knights, hearing the ruckus from the nearby alley, hastily reported to Priest Paxi, "Your Excellency, I think I heard someone reporting."
"Never mind him; the leaders have issued new regulations, there's no need to investigate public urination," Priest Paxi replied while reading the newspaper in his hand.
"Why?" His subordinate asked, puzzled. He had hoped to score a fine to help with the household expenses, though of course, most of the money would still need to be turned over to the leadership for their share.
Priest Paxi, expressionless, said,
"Because His Excellency Merlin did it too."
He gestured to the newspaper headline, "Explosion! Archmage His Excellency Merlin Andre states that relieving oneself before battle helps to reduce body temperature and improve Magic Power circulation—An Su Moningsta says," "The Holy Saint of the Capital will bring a whole new fashionable item, declare innocence, and pants down with manners"...
Priest Paxi felt he would never escape the shadow that brat had cast over his life; the brat was a persistent burden!
And now with the old Merlin backing up the young upstart, the entire Radiant Holy See's atmosphere would be led astray beyond redemption!
The Order Knights nodded in understanding, showing an expression of sudden realization. It was good that Priest Paxi had reminded them in time, preventing these young comrades from committing a major workplace taboo.
With the leaders setting an example, who were they to call the behavior uncivilized? If word got back to the leaders, it would slapping them in the face.
As the saying goes, Merlin's urine is just urine, but their peeing is wild behavior; Merlin can be urgent, but they should be worried; Merlin can relieve himself, but they would be the ones getting awakened. Merlin doesn't need to use the toilet, but they would end up cleaning the toilets!
With a tacit understanding, the Order Knights covered their ears, turned a blind eye, and turned around to leave.
Chaos Ladder shouted until his voice was almost gone, his Magic Power nearly depleted, and yet there was no response from anyone. Disbelieving, he stared at An Su, his mind reeling—could it be that this kid had played some sort of trick?
What do you think?
