Chapter 298 Anti's Business Team
The Swordfish Knight Captain quickly drew his sword and rushed forward, several times faster than any Swordfish Seaman he had seen before.
But fast physical attacks are useless against Anti.
The folding knife was already prepared. Anti could easily capture or predict this speed, which was equivalent to sending a bullet.
Ding!
As expected, the Swordfish Knight Captain's swift "Iai" hit Anti's path for the first time, and the recoil caused by the strong slash quickly paralyzed its body.
But when Anti was about to end it directly and quickly end the battle, the Knight Commander's head suddenly raised, light condensed on his long kiss, and then his body fell forward, forcing himself to fight back while falling limply.
Bu Sheng held his staff across his body to block the sword, but was still slightly knocked back due to the haste.
However, considering the Knight Commander's not-so-heavy body, the slash he forcibly delivered while he was lying on the ground was obviously just a sneak attack, and the threat was greatly reduced.
Anti easily dissipated the force, stepped forward, and slashed down with the sharp blade of his sword.
Bang bang!
On the way, several streams of water hit Antii, and there were also some binding and pulling mental fluctuations that hindered his movements.
Those anglerfish riders.
The fluctuations of their thoughts were obviously much stronger than those of the ordinary believers outside, and there were signs of polishing, but they were still far inferior to the previous Fallen Pope. All they did was make Anti's movements pause slightly, and then he still showed no mercy.
At this time, the Knight Commander just started to stand up, but it was too late.
Several anglerfish knights pounced directly on Anti's sword, using their bodies as shields!
Swish!
These anglerfish knights used their lives to knock Anti's sword off its course, harassing Anti and giving the Knight Commander a chance to survive. The Knight Commander was about to stand up, and in this situation did not try to distance himself and regroup.
Because after just a brief fight, it knew that no matter how well prepared it was, it would not be a match for Anti, so it could only fight hard!
He lowered his body, using it to cover the movement of raising the sword in his hand, and the moment he stood up, he stabbed quickly at close range, stabbing Anti's chest with the sword!
Snapped!
With a snap of his fingers, Anti disappeared from its sight.
The Knight Commander thrust his sword into the air, but he had no time to feel despair. Rather, he was already filled with despair. He turned his head quickly, but the cold light had already pierced his neck.
A large piece of the neck was torn, leaving only a little skin attached. At this time, the other anglerfish knights had no time to cushion the sword for their knight commander.
The Knight Commander fell down, and the surrounding Anglerfish Knights stopped moving.
Anti tapped the ground lightly with his cane and looked at the other anglerfish knights: "Anyone else want to see me? I'll give you a chance. Hurry up, I have something else to do."
Out of respect for these Knights of the Light Church, Anti felt that he could give them such a chance.
The rest of the anglerfish knights quickly made their choice.
The remaining knights, without exception, all rushed towards Anti.
In this crazy and collapsed situation, whether they are dead or alive, nothing can be changed. Even if they continue to live, they will inevitably fall into the abyss of despair, adding to the collapse of Havendes.
It would be better to follow the Knight Commander and die on the road of duty.
……
The blood on Anti's body drifted around, leaving dark red "ribbons" along the way.
There was no need to let the big mouth eat the corpse.
Before dying, an anglerfish knight pointed out the direction for Anti to leave. This alone was enough for Anti to give them all some dignity.
Finally, after passing through a door, he returned to the familiar main hall of the Sea Light Cathedral, where he had fought the Pope before.
But now the main hall is unexpectedly lively.
There is a lot of seafood here.
There are not only anglerfish believers, but also many other sea tribe believers, and many are residents from other parts of the parish.
They were praying, and the words they said were similar to those of the fish that was scared to death by Anti.
The fall of the Pope of the Church of Light was enough to shock the believers' faith, and Anti, with predatory darkness, the former number one enemy of the Light of the Sea, appeared in the now fallen Havendes and killed the fallen Pope.
The darkness in turn acts as the sharp blade of the light of the sea, coming to judge the present-day Havendes.
"Judgmental darkness" is the new positioning of Antioch in their mouths.
Anti didn't feel as cool as "predatory darkness", although he didn't want to be given any strange symbols or identities.
When Anti appeared in the main hall, all the praying sea creatures who saw him immediately made various noises.
The main hall, which was already in ruins due to the previous battle, was suddenly in chaos, and the sea creatures fled in all directions.
Some were knocked to the ground by other sea creatures and felt they could not escape, so they performed the highest courtesy of the sea creatures to Anti, begging Anti not to kill them.
This situation is very strange.
Anti did not take any action during the whole process, and the sea creatures dispersed as if they had been granted amnesty.
The main hall became quiet again.
Now Anti really has the flavor of some game protagonists. When he walks on the road, fish and crabs dislike him and are scared to death. There are also a lot of people who are looking for trouble with him.
Anti stood there, and during his brief daze, he secretly stuck out his tongue to grab some debris on the ground and eat some snacks.
Anti ignored it and just looked up at the object that the sea creatures had kneeled down and prayed to before, the huge statue of Akuskati in the main hall.
The creature looks strange and resembles a whale, with two fins like wings, long tentacles symmetrically distributed on its back, and a spiral horn on its head. It is a bit weird, but also has a strange beauty. Under the blue light of the main hall, a pair of wing-like fins seem to be embracing the myriad marine lives in front of it.
However, at this moment, there was only a mess here.
Whether or not they have been tainted by the Abyss, most of the residents of Havendeth have gone mad.
"Will you still bless them like this?"
An asked, but of course he didn't expect a response, and then he walked towards the door, ready to leave.
Just when he was about to leave, Antii heard the melodious cry of a whale.
His pace slowed down a little, but he didn't look back.
……
"Master, you are truly amazing. If you are dissatisfied with the previous transaction, please tell me directly. I will humbly make corrections."
When he reached the open doorway of the cathedral's building area, Anti encountered cooked seafood.
The small businessman I met when I first came to the parish, Octopus Otto.
Gave Anti some useful help, although his tone was mean, but after seeing those octopus sea people under the library and that abstract thing of Eniat, this little guy became more and more adorable.
Speaking of which, the names of those octopuses all start with "E", just like their surnames, but this octopus is an exception.
"Why did you come out? Didn't you say that you were in poor health and it was dangerous to be outside?" Anti said, looking down at it.
"Oh, the sea creatures in the parish are all frightened by the news about you, Master. They dare not hide and all come out to pray to the Light of the Sea and beg for forgiveness. No one is making things difficult for me. I have to thank you very much, Master~." Otto rubbed his little tentacles and said.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Master, you are an important customer. Why should I be afraid of you when we are in a pleasant cooperation? I want to rely on you more~." Otto was obviously much more sober than most of the sea creatures. He almost clung to Anti's thighs.
"You are the seafood in the library."
"Uh... Master, have you been to the library? That's right, you came out of the church again, so you could have returned to the church from some other place..." Otto hesitated for a moment.
"Forget it, I'm just asking casually." Anti asked casually and planned to skip the matter.
However, Otto seemed to be reminded of something and said, "My real name is Eto'o. I changed my name to avoid suspicion after escaping from the library. If you have been to the library, you must know what it has become. I don't have much talent as a scholar, and my mind is rather vulgar. I can't concentrate on research. But in the end, it was a vulgar person like me who reacted quickly and ran away. There is definitely something wrong with the sage Eremel, and that damp thing Eniat suddenly disappeared. There must be a connection between these two things..."
Anti now feels like he has completed the subsequent plot and then walked back to find the key NPC in the plot line.
Originally, he should have first learned about the hidden connection between Eremel and Eniat from Otto, and then learned further information from Esther's notes.
Because of the accident and his counter-attack speed, it turned out like this.
So he told Otto, and the library issue was resolved.
Otto's eyes widened when he heard that, but he was not very surprised. "Oh, well, that's as it should be. If you've been there, it's not surprising that those things were solved."
"Are you coming here to go back?"
"I just wanted to take a look. Now that you've told me, there's no need. Even if the library returns to its original state, I'm not suitable for it. I've now faced up to my own hobbies, and I feel very happy." Otto raised the currency shell in his hand with one of his small tentacle.
Anti nodded. This was a good choice.
"By the way, master, if you want to leave the Deep Ocean Center, can you take me with you? The Deep Ocean Center has been completely closed now. Only the big whirlpool has the power to connect to the outside world, and a small seafood like me can't get it at all." Otto rubbed his tentacles and asked cautiously.
"Ok?"
"Haivendes is going to collapse, and fewer and fewer sea creatures are looking for me to do business. Although you have given me a wave of big orders, it is also a problem what to do in the future. I want to leave the Deep Ocean Center and do business somewhere else. Although it may be difficult to go to a completely unfamiliar place to contact other races and start over, I may be able to stick to my hobbies."
Anti thought about it.
This seafood feels like it can be taken to the sanctuary for a look.
A scholarly businessman, he fits Antioch's impression of the people of the sanctuary.
"Where's the reward?" Although he didn't expect anything, after all, Anti had already obtained the information he needed most from Otto, but because of Otto's mean voice, Anti still let him try to ask.
Otto suddenly became a little stiff, because he also knew that his current things seemed to have nothing that could particularly attract Anti, and he was covered with miscellaneous things. After thinking hard, he asked tentatively: "Uh... if you have a business team, I can help you directly...?"
I can only sell myself.
"Okay." Anti nodded and agreed directly.
Sure enough, for this kind of smart person, no, smart seafood, it may become self-aware after a little testing.
Originally, Anti didn't expect anything. If the little octopus was nice, it wouldn't be a problem to give it a ride. Now that he has taken it in directly, he will just treat it as a pet and don't expect anything else.
As for the "business team", Anti seems to really have one.
Salomo of the Sun City is his "agent", backed by Ophi, who is roughly equivalent to the Sanctuary.
Help manage Anti's assets in the Dream World and deal with trivial matters facing all parties.
If you think about it carefully, his "business team" is really large and very professional. Adding an octopus to it makes it look even more professional.
