Chapter 1944: Golden Bone in the Bright Church

"The Golden Bone has always been in the collection of our Bright Church."

"Although we don’t know what the Golden Bone is actually used for, the number we’ve collected is absolutely not small."

"Besides the piece of Golden Bone you obtained from Arthur, and the piece I have, our Bright Church has at least fifteen other pieces of Golden Bone!"

Eric said slowly.

His tone was unhurried, yet it sounded to Xiao Zheng like a thunderclap exploding right by his ear!

Besides the Golden Bone from Arthur and Eric, the Bright Church actually has at least fifteen more pieces stored!

Such an enormous number even exceeds the total number of Golden Bones in his own body!

The Bright Church truly deserves to be the most powerful force on the European Continent, ruling for so many years, and they’ve collected so many Golden Bones!

Xiao Zheng’s gaze gradually became heated, but soon, he calmed down again: "All these things you’ve just said are only your own words, I can’t judge whether what you’re saying is true or false."

Hearing this, Eric suddenly got anxious and quickly said, "I swear on my life, every word I’ve said is true! Even the piece of Golden Bone on me was given to me by the Church!"

"Besides that, most of the Golden Bones collected by the Church are awarded to the Saint Heirs. Apart from me, I know at least ten other Saint Heirs who, like me, received Golden Bones awarded by the Church!"

What!

Upon hearing this news, a trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes once again!

At least ten Saint Heirs have Golden Bones!

Eric continued, "I can list out names for you, and if you don’t obtain Golden Bones from them, I am willing to die by your hand!"

After hearing his words, Xiao Zheng then sneered and said, "Ten Saint Heirs, that’s only ten Golden Bones. You just said your Bright Church collected at least fifteen Golden Bones, so where are the remaining five Golden Bones?"

Upon hearing this, Eric quickly replied, "The remaining five Golden Bones are stored in the Church, which is the Holy Land of our Bright Church and the daily place of practice for our Pope."

"If you do not have enough power, I don’t mind you delivering yourself to death at the Holy Land of the Church."

He no longer regards himself as a Saint Heir of the Bright Church, in order to survive, he has betrayed his faith.

Xiao Zheng suddenly found Eric pitiful.

After shaking his head, he said, "Then I might as well believe you once, write the names down for me."

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy and excitement flashed in Eric’s eyes.

Although he didn’t have paper and pen, it did not hinder his actions.

Eric directly tore his clothes and, with his own blood, started writing on it. There were names of ten Saint Heirs in total.

Holding this blood-soaked list, Xiao Zheng satisfactorily folded it and put it in his pocket.

Eric then cautiously asked, "Now that I’ve told you everything I know, according to our agreement, can I leave now?"

"Leave? Where would you want to go?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

Eric’s heart tightened, his expression suddenly became a bit ferocious, "You wouldn’t be going back on your word, would you? You clearly promised me that if I told you about the Golden Bones, you would let me go!"

"Did I say that? I clearly agreed not to kill you, when did I say I would let you go?" Xiao Zheng laughed mockingly.

Eric hesitated and, after recalling carefully, it seemed that it was indeed so.

Xiao Zheng then didn’t bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, he first crippled his hands and feet, and further abolished his cultivation. Eric now became completely helpless.

"You can just stay here quietly."

"If you’re lucky, perhaps a fisherman might rescue you while fishing."

After saying that, Xiao Zheng waved goodbye to him.

Eric hesitated for a while, only reacted when Xiao Zheng’s figure was almost gone, and then directly cursed! Now, with the city snowed closed, how could there possibly be fishermen out fishing? Moreover, his cultivation and limbs had been crippled, badly injured, lying in this sub-zero environment, he would die in three minutes at most!

Eric finally realized, Xiao Zheng never intended to let him go from the beginning!

Gradually, Eric heavily closed his eyes.

The raging wind and snow covered him along with the bodies of the twelve Holy Temple Knights and Joshua. If discovered by spring when the ice and snow melt, perhaps their bodies would be found.

Of course, that’s if their bodies hadn’t sunk to the bottom of the lake by then...

Leaving Karis Lake, Xiao Zheng returned to Saint Sochiya.

The entire city was devoid of any human presence and life traces, except for a few occasional windows emitting orange-yellow lights, everything seemed frozen in the snow, inducing a sense of desolation.

Back at the inn, the flames in the fireplace burned vigorously, providing a sense of warmth for once.

The innkeeper is named Hans, a bachelor in his forties.

Upon seeing Xiao Zheng return, he warmly greeted him, inviting him to join for dinner. Xiao Zheng naturally did not refuse, he was a little hungry as he had just exercised quite a bit.

After dinner, he returned to his room.

After locking the door, Xiao Zheng took out the blood-soaked list from his pocket.

From left to right, there were ten names in total.

This was the list Eric wrote, containing the names of ten Saint Heirs each possessing a Golden Bone. If Eric wasn’t lying, then Xiao Zheng would obtain ten Golden Bones from them.

"This guy Eric, really granted me a great gift before dying."

"Even without considering the five Golden Bones stored at the Holy Land of the Church, just by killing these ten people, I can obtain over ten Golden Bones."

"Just thinking about it makes the blood boil!"

Xiao Zheng licked his lips, his mood was visibly excited.

This was his first time obtaining clues leading to so many Golden Bones. He was also resolutely decided that even if it meant going into full-scale war with the Bright Church, he would seize those Golden Bones!

At any cost!

Xiao Zheng firmly gripped the blood-soaked list in his hand, his mouth slowly curled into a cold smile: "Bright Church? You’ve played the tyrant in Europe for too long, it’s time to drag you down from the Altar!"

"Anyone who dares stop me from acquiring the Golden Bones will be punished without mercy!"

A terrifying momentum instantly enveloped the entire city!

The cold night became even colder!

The biting wind and snow became even more biting!
