Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"Thank you for your help, Seven Saint Knights."

Conrad respectfully escorted the seven saintly knights to the most luxurious inn in the city, then turned to return to the church, only to find White and Gupa already waiting there.

"I didn't know the city lord and viscount had come to my branch hall. Is there something you want to discuss?" After the three of them sat down in the secret room inside the hall, Conrad poured wine for them and asked.

Even though White was impatient, he could only wait for Gupa to speak first. He looked at Gupa, who seemed not to notice White's gaze, and was just stroking his chin, deep in thought. Just when White was about to lose his patience, Gupa finally spoke slowly:

“Bishop Conrad, Enoch has been executed. According to his confession, a woman with demonic physical characteristics was indeed seen in South Bay City during the search. Two days ago, Viscount White’s mansion was attacked by a mysterious person. Putting these two things together, it seems that the demonic woman who attacked Viscount White and Enoch found is the same person.”

"Yes, I am aware of what happened at Viscount White's mansion. My Church of Saints should not get involved in such internal human conflicts, but since it involves non-pure human races, my Church of Saints naturally has to contribute. I think it would be better if the search were carried out by the garrison, the city lord's guards, and Viscount White's private army. Once the target is found, it would be best if it could be eliminated directly. If it is indeed very troublesome, I will ask the Saint Knights to go and subdue it. What do you two think?" Conrad originally did not want to get involved in what happened at White's mansion, as long as his own interests were not harmed. However, upon hearing that demons were involved, he could no longer ignore it. Not to mention that the doctrine required them to eliminate non-humans within the territory of pure humans, which would be a merit. Moreover, a team of Saint Knights happened to be on routine patrol in South Bay City. He should not refuse such a free merit, so he put forward his suggestion.

When Gupa and White heard Conrad say this, they naturally agreed. White thought to himself, "Even if my private army can't take down those two thieves, there's still the garrison and the city lord's guards. At worst, there's the Holy Knight to back us up. What's there to worry about not getting the treasure back?" But then he thought again, Enoch had been killed in less than seven days. It seemed that Gupa and Conrad's methods were indeed too ruthless. They thought they were just finding an excuse to kick Enoch out of the game, but they didn't expect to take his life directly. Would he be next?

Having made up his mind, White said, "To be honest, you two experts, these two thieves took a treasure from me, which I'm sure Lord Conrad will be interested in."

"What treasure?" Conrad was clearly uninterested, thinking to himself, "What treasure could you possibly have that I would want to steal?"

"This treasure is a material for crafting an elemental bracelet, and its grade is at least A," White explained calmly.

"What? Grade A crafting materials? What element are they made of?" Conrad sat up straight and asked.

"Hmph, interested now? Consider this material a bribe to win you over. Once I completely control the economic lifeline of South Bay City, you won't be able to touch me anymore." White, secretly wanting to play along, answered Conrad's question:

"It's the element of light."

"what!"

Conrad stood up from his chair, looking at White in shock: "Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true. I am a light element myself. How could I be mistaken?"

Conrad's expression of shock did not fade as he thought to himself, "If I could get my hands on the A-grade light element bracelet crafting materials, whether I hand them over to the Temple of Saints or the Holy Knights, it would be a great achievement. I must get them."

"Hmm, the materials used to forge this Grade A light element bracelet are indeed a rare treasure. I wonder if Lord White has any thoughts on bringing this up with me?" Conrad asked casually.

"Old fox, you've finally been tempted, haven't you?" White thought to himself. He said, "Oh, it's like this. I am indeed very tempted by the materials for making this A-grade bracelet, but my elemental rank is only fourth-tier, which is completely insufficient to use such a high-level elemental bracelet. Since the Saint Cult has sent a high-ranking knight like the Saint Knight to assist us, then I will consider these materials as a token of my appreciation and hand them over to the Saint Cult. I believe they will be of the greatest use."

After White finished speaking, he stared intently at Conrad's face. Conrad no longer concealed his intentions and immediately laughed, saying, "Vice, Viscount White's actions will surely make our religion even more glorious. Then I will accept on behalf of the Holy Knights, hahahaha."

As the three were talking, there was a knock on the door of the secret room. Conrad opened the door and saw one of his trusted apostles. The apostle said, "Bishop, a guard from the city lord's mansion requests an audience. He says he has discovered the whereabouts of two petty thieves who broke into Viscount White's mansion at night. They are hiding in the old residential area in the north of the city. He would like to ask the city lord what to do next."

Conrad turned to look at Gupa and praised, "Lord Gupa, it seems that the guards of the city lord's mansion are indeed well-trained. They found those two petty thieves so quickly. I think you two should go back to your mansions first and carefully plan how to capture these two petty thieves."

“Alright, in that case, I won’t linger.” Gupa stood up to take his leave first. Seeing Gupa about to leave, White also stood up and followed him out of the secret room. The two returned to the city lord’s mansion and the viscount’s mansion respectively. After some investigation, they learned that the soldiers on both sides had captured the old blacksmith at the city gate based on the clues provided by White. Before any torture was even carried out, the old blacksmith confessed the origin of the forging materials and also revealed the address of his apprentice, John. Following the clues, the soldiers also found John’s trail in the north of the city. It turned out that John was on his way to the old blacksmith’s original blacksmith shop, intending to take all the forging materials back at once. Unexpectedly, he was discovered on his way back, and the hiding place of Su Yang and his companion was also found.

"There's no time to lose. These two petty thieves are outnumbered. Gather the garrison troops and White's private army now, assemble at the North Gate, and surround them from three directions after noon," Gupa immediately gave the order.

The garrison and White quickly received orders from Gupa, and soldiers from all three locations assembled at the north gate. Su Yang, unaware of anything, was sitting with Lin Anlan in the forging room watching John tinker with the forge and various tools. According to the method provided by Die'er, forging an S-grade bracelet required a specific elemental environment; otherwise, it would be difficult to successfully create one. In layman's terms, a specific elemental environment meant that the element must be extremely concentrated, concentrated enough to support the total amount of elemental power absorbed during the forging process of an S-grade bracelet.

The group was completely clueless about this particular environment. They didn't know how to create it, nor did they know which place had particularly abundant light elements. They were all wanted by the authorities and couldn't even leave the city, let alone find a place like this to create the bracelet.

As time passed, the assembled soldiers split into four groups and surrounded Su Yang's location. As they approached their destination, they slowed down and approached cautiously, stopping only when they were less than ten meters away from the target building to await the order to attack.

Gupa, White, and others arrived at the scene. With a wave of Gupa's hand, the soldiers immediately began their attack. The shouts had barely been uttered when, unexpectedly, a fierce burst of elemental power erupted from the house. Countless small, purple-tinged daggers shot out from the room, instantly collapsing the already dilapidated wooden house. The soldiers at the forefront were all knocked down. This sudden scene surprised Gupa and White. Had this thief already realized they were surrounded and thus prepared in advance?

The truth is they were unaware of Su Yang's permanent cloud radar. After they approached within a hundred meters, Su Yang detected the appearance of many purple dots. As the dots increased in number and formed a clear formation, Su Yang realized something was wrong. He left Lin Anlan in the forging room while he went to the dilapidated outer room. He activated "Sword Tide" while observing the dots on the map. The moment the dots moved simultaneously was the moment the Sword Tide would be activated.

As the dust settled, Su Yang stood in the center of the encirclement. Looking around, he confirmed that these men were indeed soldiers from Nanwan City, as well as the Viscount's private soldiers he had infiltrated under cover of night. White, seeing Su Yang standing unharmed while his own side had suffered heavy losses, was seething with rage. He roared, ordering his soldiers, "Charge! Chop this scoundrel to pieces! Whoever kills him first will be rewarded with five gold coins! Each person who participates in chopping him to pieces will be rewarded with one gold coin!"

Motivated by the money, the soldiers who hadn't been affected charged forward with shouts. While Su Yang was dealing with the charging soldiers, Lin Anlan was anxiously jumping up and down inside the house, wanting to rush to help, but Su Yang had previously insisted that she stay here to protect John, otherwise he wouldn't be able to concentrate on the battle.

These soldiers were ultimately not well-trained, their combat effectiveness was extremely poor, and their physique was far inferior to that of the four-nation garrison during the island war, not to mention their lack of coordination. As a result, each wave that charged forward was wiped out by Su Yang, but it also consumed a lot of Su Yang's energy. Seeing the soldiers falling one after another, Gupa could no longer bear it and quickly found a messenger to go to the Temple of Saints to seek support from Bishop Conrad.
