Chapter 355: Aftermath


    ?Ma Lu already understood the general situation and originally planned to go straight to Li Wei''s office after entering the giant tower.


    Unexpectedly, we encountered skylarks and birds of paradise first.


    The former has now become the saint of the Temple City, but for the church and the residents of the city, the saint is a new thing.


    The church’s senior leadership has not yet figured out what powers and responsibilities should be given to Skylark, and the position of Director of the Bird of Paradise Library is still going through the process and has not yet been approved.


    On the contrary, Ouroboros has already assumed the position of deputy leader of the Holy Knights at the speed of light. This is not because Levi is particularly trustworthy, but because he has considered drawing the fallen witch into the war and showing enough sincerity. The position of a deputy leader is undoubtedly Necessary efforts.


    So Li Wei gave it very happily.


    Ouroboros and Cerberus just left the city not long ago to clear out the remaining activated plants around them.


    After learning that all four of them were safe and sound, Ma Lu also breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to rub the head of the former poster girl and current saint.


    ??Skylark also took out the small blue electric hammer and the remaining things he had stored before, and returned it to Malu''s hand, saying a little embarrassedly.


    "The situation was critical before. I...I used 4 energy storage gems."


    "It''s okay." Ma Lu took the small blue electric hammer and the remaining energy storage gems and consoled him, "As long as the people are still there, you can pick them up again if the equipment is gone."


    “You are so kind, Lord Knight.” Skylark said from the bottom of his heart.


    “Ah, you are already a saint, and I am no longer your knight.”


    “No, you will always be my Lord Knight.” The girl affirmed.


    ?The Bird of Paradise also solemnly thanked Malu.


    “Thanks to you we survived this time and were free.”


    "Hey, we are all our own people, so there is no need to be so open-minded." Ma Lu then asked, "What do other people in the church and the residents of the city think of you now?"


    “Most people are still very hostile and afraid of us.” The red-haired girl said, “Mainly because of the church’s propaganda and the series of attacks that took place in the city on the night of the incident.


    “But at least on the surface, everyone is still maintaining peace, and the church is also working hard to restrain the people.”


    ??Bird of Paradise paused, "But this is because there are still threats posed by activated plants outside the city. It''s hard to say what will happen when this disaster is completely over."


    ?Ma Lu doesn’t have a good solution for this. It is not easy for different races to live in peace, not to mention that there is a bad debt between humans and witches in this plane.


    Fortunately, after all the activated plants are infected with the virus and disappear, there should be no need for witches. The race of witches was originally created by Eiichi for social experiments.


    Thinking of Yong Yi, Malu pointed to the top of the tower again and asked Yunque and others, "Have you climbed up there again after I left?"


    ??Bird of Paradise shook his head, "No, Temple City has only become a little safer in the past two days. We were busy fighting before."


    “Has the church received any oracle recently?” Ma Lu asked again.


    ??Although Yong Yi said that he had transferred all the authority to him, Ma Lu was not sure whether Yong Yi had left a backdoor for himself or something. After all, he built this city with his own hands.


    ??It''s normal for him to hide something behind the scenes.


    ?However, the red-haired girl still shook her head, "No, the church has not received any more oracles since you left until now."


    ?Ma Lu was still a little worried and decided to go to the top of the tower to take another look immediately after seeing Li Wei.


    ?Levi’s office has been moved from the 32nd floor to the 33rd floor, where Martin was originally located, but now Martin is dead.


    With his outstanding performance in dealing with this crisis, Levi took over Martin''s position without any surprise and became the new leader of the Holy Knights.


    ?His office was twice as big as before, and Ma Lu even saw a small bar inside. Levi followed his gaze and explained, "This belongs to Martin, I haven''t had time to dismantle it."


    “I don’t intend to judge your private life.” Malu shrugged.


    Then Li Wei took another deep look at Malu, "You are indeed not Ximu." However, before Malu could answer, he continued, "But it''s not important now.


    “I’m more curious about how you obtained the highest authority in the giant tower?”


    “Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”


    “Truth.”


    “Yongyi gave it to me.”


    ??Li Wei snorted coldly, "Can your lie be any worse? Bring out a person who lived more than three hundred years ago to try to prevaricate me."


    ?Ma Lu sighed, "Well, I am indeed the new prophet sent by the Lord of Order to save the Temple City."


    ?Although this answer sounds outrageous, it is more credible, because Li Wei once saw Malu summoning a boulder with his own eyes, and also saw him suddenly disappear on the spot.


    ??And although they had just defeated those activated plants not long ago, Levi still didn''t understand why the thermal weapons suddenly worked on those activated plants.


    ??Other than the Lord of Order sending people to save the Temple City, there is no other explanation.


    ?Thinking of this, Li Wei''s tone towards Malu became more polite, "Do you have any suggestions for the next direction of Temple City?"


    Ma Lu shook his head, "That''s your own business, the Lord of Order doesn''t care."


    ?But then he added, "The disasters will eventually pass, and the witches who dealt with them will gradually disappear. From now on, there will be no new witches in the Temple City.


    “So you don’t have to worry about humans being enslaved, so I hope you can treat the remaining witches well.”


    ??Li Wei''s eyes flashed with joy when he heard this, "Is this true?"


    “Of course, and although I won’t be here all the time in the future, I will come back to take a look from time to time to ensure that you can live in peace.”


    ?After Ma Lu met Li Wei, he stopped by to visit the Pope and said similar words to the latter. Without stopping, he immediately took the elevator to the top floor.


    Out of courtesy, Malu knocked on the door twice first, but there was no response.


    ?So he tentatively shouted, "Eternal Prophet?"


    Still no one answered.


    ?Ma Lu directly opened the door with his own authority, and then smelled an unpleasant smell.


    ?Ma Lu looked around and didn''t see Yong Yi''s shadow. It wasn''t until he followed the smell to the workbench that he saw the old man lying on the ground.


    He had completely stopped breathing, and he must have been dead for several days. His body looked like a giant, and he probably died before the activated plants breached the Temple City.


    I just don’t know whether he died of old age or chose to take his own life.


    ?But it’s not much different for Malu. Malu’s expression is a bit complicated. Although Yongyi is not a good person, he is a bit crazy and almost destroyed a planet, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a quite pure person.


    ?Ma Lu didn’t like him much, but he didn’t dislike him much either.
