Chapter 1699 1699: The Simplest Way

"This is the church!"

Upon arriving at the church entrance, Dawn's First Ray pointed at the church's main door and said, "The Holy Light Church has a total of four doors. This is the main entrance; the others are smaller doors, which are relatively easier to guard."

"Oh dear..."

Spring Halo took a glance at the terrain near the Holy Light Church and sighed, "The feng shui here is not good; the main door faces the intersection, which is bad luck and can lead to disaster. Next time, the God of Light should definitely consult me about the feng shui before building a house."

"Ah?"

Hearing Spring Halo's words, Dawn's First Ray looked perplexed.

"Don't mind him!" Fearless waved his hand and said, "People in construction love to spout nonsense."

"Then I'll trouble you all!"

Dawn's First Ray ignored Spring Halo and respectfully cupped his fists towards the members of the Quan Zhen Sect again.

"You're too polite!" Fearless said somewhat awkwardly, "What you said really makes us feel quite sorry. I must apologize on their behalf."

"Apologize?"

Dawn's First Ray looked confused once more. It seemed the Quan Zhen Sect members were indeed as insane as the legends suggested. They were clearly speaking human language, yet he couldn't understand a thing!

"Exactly!" Fearless said with some guilt, "It's a two-way task, and we're quite helpless. I hope you can understand."

At this point, Fearless gave a subtle signal to the person behind Dawn's First Ray.

At the same time, the air behind Dawn's First Ray began to distort, and Darknorth Fisher appeared behind him, holding a dagger, which he plunged forcefully into Dawn's First Ray's back.

The damage from Darknorth Fisher was immense.

Dawn's First Ray felt a chill in his back, and shortly after, his health bar hit zero.

"This..."

Before Dawn's First Ray could finish his sentence, he looked incredulous and transformed into a burst of white light, disappearing before the eyes of the Quan Zhen Sect members.

"My bad, my bad!"

Watching the direction in which Dawn's First Ray vanished, Fearless and the others sighed and then stepped into the church.

At this moment, Wang Yu also received the news from Dawn's First Ray: "Damn, Brother Bull, you really did something shady here."

It seemed that Dawn's First Ray had realized he had been tricked.

What Dawn's First Ray didn't expect was that not only had he invited the wolf into the house, but he also got swindled out of a large sum of money. He never thought Wang Yu would be the type of person to do that.

"I had no choice; it's a two-way task! If I didn't do it this way, I feared you wouldn't believe me. Once we finish the task, I'll pay you back."

Faced with Dawn's First Ray's accusations, Wang Yu had no way to respond; he couldn't shift the blame to Fearless, so he had to use Fearless's words to placate him.

As for paying back, everyone knew that the Quan Zhen Sect was notoriously one-sided—always taking in but never giving out. Wang Yu would certainly have to dig into his own pocket for it, since he was still a person with a sense of pride.

Dawn's First Ray was also an experienced player and understood the concept of a two-way task. Seeing Wang Yu say this, he felt a bit embarrassed to really ask for Wang Yu's money, and had to helplessly say, "Fine! It's just a game; I'll accept my losses!"

After saying that, Dawn's First Ray closed the dialogue box with Wang Yu.

At this moment, Dawn's First Ray's message box had exploded... After receiving the task failure notification, Young Master Beijing was instantly alarmed.

He thought his blockade was foolproof, but unexpectedly, someone managed to slip into the church silently without him noticing at all. This was too bizarre!

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Young Master Beijing sent Dawn's First Ray a series of more than ten messages.

"I got swindled!" Dawn's First Ray organized his thoughts and summarized the failure in three words.

"????"

Young Master Beijing was stunned for a full five seconds before he realized what was happening, and he replied angrily, "Who the hell is so bold to swindle you!"

"Quan Zhen Sect!"

Dawn's First Ray helplessly recounted the events to Young Master Beijing.

After hearing Dawn's First Ray's account, Young Master Beijing was so furious he nearly passed out. No wonder the enemies entered the city without a sound; it turned out their own people had invited them in!

"So... what should we do now?"

Young Master Beijing didn't dare to take out his frustration on Dawn's First Ray and could only ask with suppressed anger.

"What can we do?" Dawn's First Ray retorted unhappily, "The people from the Quan Zhen Sect are already inside the church. Are we supposed to rush in and kill them? Besides, do you think anyone doesn't know who the Quan Zhen Sect is?"

"This..."

Dawn's First Ray's words left Young Master Beijing speechless.

In the church, the arrival of the God of Light was accompanied by the strictest prohibition against noise. Even speaking loudly at the church entrance would get players system warnings for provoking the God of Light's authority, risking penalties on city honor and faction honor. If they were to fight inside, the consequences were obvious. Dawn's First Ray had never arranged for his guild members to be at the church entrance because of this very reason.

All players in the Holy Light City knew that the Holy Light Church was a forbidden zone, so they typically wouldn't wander near the church. Thus, Dawn's First Ray instinctively overlooked it.

Even if they set up a blockade near the church, what good would it do? Just like last time, if Wang Yu threw a few firecrackers inside, his own guild would be hunted down by the church knights.

Moreover, there wasn't a single person in the Quan Zhen Sect who was easy to deal with, especially Wang Yu, who remained a shadow in the hearts of Young Master Beijing and his group. They wouldn't dare confront Wang Yu head-on, even outside the church.

"This is all your fault!" Finally, Dawn's First Ray didn't forget to blame Young Master Beijing, "What kind of ridiculous task did you accept that got us dragged into this mess?"

"I..."

Young Master Beijing felt incredibly wronged. Clearly, it was his task that Dawn's First Ray had messed up, yet this guy turned around and blamed him. Where was the justice in that?

...

Inside the church, Wang Yu, who had been questioned by Dawn's First Ray, felt quite guilty and couldn't help but ask Fearless, "It's just entering a church, why didn't we just fly in directly? Why get involved with Dawn's First Ray?"

"Fly in?"

Fearless chuckled and replied, "This is Holy Light City, not Twilight City. They don't even allow airships to fly here. Do you think you can just fly in? Do you believe the guards would pull out siege weapons to shoot you down? Is Dawn's First Ray foolish? Are you as well? I'm doing this to avoid a direct confrontation between us."

Indeed, Holy Light City, as the imperial capital, had different rules from ordinary main cities; no creatures were allowed on the main city's rooftops, which meant the only way to enter was through the city gates.

At this moment, the city gates were completely sealed. If Wang Yu and his group tried to enter, it would inevitably alert Dawn's First Ray and his party.

The two-way task was designed by the system to encourage players to harm each other. If a fight broke out, with Wang Yu and the Quan Zhen Sect's tactics, Dawn's First Ray's players would surely suffer heavy casualties. In a fight, the Quan Zhen Sect would also incur losses.

In contrast, casually talking and laughing their way into the city was the simplest and most straightforward method.
