Chapter 293: The Temple Knights
Han Shuo didn’t expend too much effort in refining the water elite zombie. Thanks to the earth, wood and fire elite zombies, he was well versed in the process. After everything was finished,
Han Shuo jumped out of the well and suddenly felt two unfamiliar presences.
The deathly air of the Shura Soul Formation was quietly circulating in the shop’s courtyard. Dark grand magus Edwin of the Calamity Church and the female alchemist Belinda was wandering around outside. They didn’t dare to come in, and could only looked down in shock at this gloomy yard from the rooftop.
A concentrated sense of death could be found within the Shura Soul Formation. The two people absolutely couldn’t see what Han Shuo was doing inside. But for Han Shuo, he only needed to lift his head after jumping out of the well to see the two experts of the Calamity Church clearly.
Edwin and Belinda obviously knew there was a great danger hidden below. They looked down in shock at the changes, not daring to risk entering the formation. They appeared very wary and cautious.
Thanks to the Rainbow Sickle ambush last time, the two already knew that this place was extremely dangerous. Han Shuo knew they knew, so it was understandable that these two didn’t dare to draw close.
After circling around the courtyard to inspect it, Han Shuo walked towards the eye of the formation and shot a black light onto it. The violent, gloomy deathly air in the formation instantly dispersed and the formation returned to its inert state.
Han Shuo sat down on a chair in the courtyard, lazily looking up at Edwin on the rooftop. He asked indifferently, “Mister Edwin, it seems that you’re always this surreptitious when you pay a visit. Can it be that this is how your Calamity Church operates?”
Edwin still didn’t dare to come down even though the changes in the courtyard had disappeared. Having heard Han Shuo’s words, he chuckled and said, “My apologies. We’ll stay up here for our little chat. Congratulations on killing Ferguson. However, you’ve also completely offended the Church of Light. They’ll spare no costs in dealing with you now. So, heh heh, our Calamity Church sincerely invites you to join us. We’re willing to pay any price as long as you’re willing to join us.”
After winding through a couple of hallways, Kallas led Han Shuo to the room where Fanny was. He pointed inside and said, “Miss Fanny is in there.”
“Mhm, you are dismissed, don’t let other people come here!” Han Shuo instructed.
Han Shuo waited for Kallas to leave before he bit the bullet and walked inside. He immediately saw Fanny sitting in the middle of the room. She was wearing a navy blue dress instead of her usual magic robe. She instantly humphed upon seeing Han Shuo walk in, coldly looking at him as she said, “Your Lordship finally has some time to spare for us common civilians?”
“I’m so sorry. There was something that happened so I was delayed a little. This won’t happen again. Fanny, you must forgive me.” Han Shuo smiled wryly and apologized as soon as he came in. He was indeed in the wrong, it was natural for Fanny to be so angry.
“This isn’t the first time either. You never honor your promises!” Fanny still maintained her iron face as she fixed him with a cold stare.
Han Shuo smiled wryly as he looked at Fanny, putting up his hands in surrender, “I was wrong. You can punish me however you want!”
“Then good, just promise me that you‘ll be an honorary professor for our necromancy major and I’ll forgive you.” Fanny thought for a bit before glaring ferociously at Han Shuo.
Honorary professor was just a title for show in the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. A person with this title basically wasn’t bound by the Academy’s rules. They only need to occasionally give a speech in accordance with the Academy’s request. There was strong competition amongst the different majors in the Academy. The ability to invite famous, powerful figures to be honorary professors was the standard with which to measure a department’s influence.
“No problem!” Han Shuo readily agreed.
“You scoundrel, how do you have the ability to kill someone so evil as Leah Cain? How did you become an archmage necromancer? How many things are you actually still lying to me about?” Fanny was happy when she heard Han Shuo’s ready acquiescence, but then her many doubts flooded her heart and just burst out.
