It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 277 He wants to be my master, so he has to pay extra
"I can't defeat him."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

"But I can kill him."

Before Amelia could speak, he continued.

"laugh!"

There seemed to be a disdainful sneer in the air.

"I admire your confidence, young man. However, this involves your work and the secrets of the church. I hope you can make full and careful judgment."

Amelia didn't laugh, but she expressed her doubts in a subtle way.

"Then I'll make another judgment."

Liu Zheng closed his eyes and then opened them immediately.

"After judging, I can indeed kill him."

Not to mention his gadgets with various functions, he also has a calico cat with the powerful Meow Fist.

"But Beethoven is a good man. If you want me to kill him, you have to pay me more."

"No, this is just a judgment based on strength. Master Beethoven is the protector of the church and Art, so I will naturally not let you kill him."

Amelia shook her head.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Before I tell you, there's one thing you need to do."

Amelia reached into her robes and pulled out a piece of parchment.

There was a strange symbol on the parchment, which looked like two tridents, one large and one small, facing each other.

"This is the contract that was unearthed from the ruins of Tomel. You take it and swear to me that you will not reveal everything I tell you by any means."

She said.

"Should you swear to me too?"

Liu Zheng asked loudly.

"Of course."

Amelia was not angry, but agreed to him readily.

"alright."

He walked over again and took the parchment from Amelia's hand.

"I swear I will never reveal anything I learned from Grand Master Amelia."

Liu Zheng said while grabbing the parchment.

The symbols on the parchment glowed slightly, and he felt that an invisible moonlight passed through the ceiling and shone on him.

For some reason, he thought of the giant claw that stretched out from the blood moon.

"it's your turn."

Liu Zheng returned the parchment to Amelia.

"I swear that if Liu Zheng completes the task I assign to him, I will do my best to help him complete the purchase."

Amelia said.

The symbol on the parchment glowed again, and then a pale flame emerged from it.

Amelia held the parchment until it turned to ashes, but there was no sign of burns on her hands.

"Can we talk now?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I want you to help me kill a beast."

Amelia said.

"Beast? Then why not let the hunters from the church come? They should be more professional than me, right?"

"Because the identity of this beast is sensitive."

Amelia replied.

"Who?"

"He used to be a high-ranking official in the church, and he was loved and trusted by everyone. I can't let the church's people hunt him down. This will cause a great psychological burden on the people in charge of the execution, and it will also affect the church's reputation."

Amelia didn't answer directly.

"Are there no people in the church who have transformed into beasts?"

He asked curiously. Father John is also a member of the church, right?
Since he can transform into a beast, there is no reason why other people in the church cannot transform into beasts.

"The church has been advocating the idea of ​​treating beast disease through blood therapy, and has achieved excellent results. At least among the church's leadership, there have been no cases of beast transformation so far. That person... had an accident."

Amelia explained.

"is it?"

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

If the other party had not proposed a deal, he would probably have directly exposed the relationship between blood therapy and beast disease.

But since there is now a possibility of a peaceful solution, he is not so low in EQ.

As for overthrowing the Blood Healing Church and rescuing the residents of At, it is not impossible to do so, but we have to wait until Liu Zheng completes his mission.

Speaking of which, this should be considered a change in the original plot trend, and should be able to help Xia Kai gain a lot of dungeon evaluation points.

If we really intend to do it at that time, we have to find a way to squeeze out the surplus value of this kid and not let him win easily.

When I think about how much he has suffered and how much he has paid, and now he is still struggling in the novice copy.

Not only did Xia Kai successfully pass the novice copy, but now he was about to pass the second copy easily. Liu Zheng felt deeply angry.

"Well, I have to find a reason to beat that kid up. How about sending him to the Church of Pain for a little baptism?"

He thought maliciously.

Xia Kai, who was waiting outside the main hall, suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help shivering.

“So, I need someone who has no connection with the church to relieve that person’s pain and cleanse the church.”

Amelia paused, then finally said those two words.

"shame."

She clenched the gold pendant in her hand.

"I see. I'm just helping you do dirty work. But people who do this kind of thing are usually silenced."

Liu Zheng said bluntly.

"Mr. Liu Zheng looks like a smart man, so I will communicate with you in a smart way."

Amelia smiled.

"If Master Beethoven had not offered to take you in as his apprentice, you might indeed have been silenced. But with Master Beethoven's endorsement, I will not risk being questioned by the guardians of the church."

"The contract I just used is one of the most precious among all the heritages of the Tomel civilization. If I were planning to kill you, I would not waste this holy relic."

She explained slowly.

"Reasonable."

He nodded.

"But since Beethoven intends to take me in as his apprentice, then am I not also a member of the church?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I can see that you will not accept Master Beethoven's invitation."

Amelia said.

"Oh? Why? Being the direct disciple of the chief hunter of the church is obviously much better than being a delivery man."

He raised his eyebrows.

"Master Beethoven was a noble and pure warrior who didn't think too much about the problem. But I am different. As the leader of the church, whether I like it or not, I have to consider it more comprehensively and deeply."

"A brilliant young man like you is sent out to do a job like purchasing something mysterious and powerful."

"Then there are only two possibilities."

"First, you're lying."

“Second, the level of restaurant you’re talking about is beyond imagination.”

"No matter which one it is, a church in a small place like Art can't keep talents like you."

Amelia talked.

"As expected of the Grand Master, your brain is sharp. Okay, I'll take this job."

Liu Zheng applauded.

"Where is the beast?"

he asked.
