Qin Yichen checked the defensive equipment in the temple and ignored it.

On the other side, Zhao Wuling returned to the city as quickly as possible after getting Qin Yichen's permission.

In the city lord's palace, all the soldiers looked at Zhao Wuling blankly.

"Where have you been, City Lord?"

"You are not in the city these days. A lot of things have happened. Please don't leave us."

"Our Rhine City is the most prosperous city nearby. Without your care, it has become a mess."

...Seeing the city lord return, everyone in the city lord's mansion gathered around, with expressions of concern on their faces.

Zhao Wuling also learned from their mouths what changes had taken place in the city during the day he left.

Because Zhao Wuling left with Mr. Sai at that time and was seen by many people.

There are rumors in the city that Zhao Wuling left the Temple of the God of War and will not return to the Rhine City.

Therefore, the various forces that had reached an agreement because of Zhao Wuling started disputes again and fought for their own interests.

To be precise, I left Rhine City at noon and rushed back late at night.

It only takes half a day in total.

For the first time, Zhao Wuling truly felt his role in this city.

If this had happened earlier, he might have intervened, but now, as a believer in the Temple of the Lord of Light, he had no reason to help the Rhine City under the control of the Temple of the God of War.

Although he was reluctant to give up, Zhao Wuling still shook his head slowly and rejected these people's good intentions.

Take a step back and stand outside the city lord's mansion.

"I am no longer the city lord, I am now a believer in the Temple of the Lord of Light."

"I am here today to inform you of this matter and to ask Ares, the God of War, to send men to guard the Rhine River."

"Other than that, I won't do anything for you. I am now a believer in the Lord of Light."

After saying these words from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Wuling felt a little happy.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky.

This person was the envoy of the Temple of the God of War. After receiving the news, he was ordered to come and happened to meet Zhao Wuling.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Wuling's arm, and made a hissing gesture.

"Zhao Wuling, this matter is of great importance. I have the handwriting of the Lord God of War. You and I can go into the city lord's palace to discuss it in detail."

Zhao Wuling, however, calmly broke free of the messenger's hand and turned around to point to a restaurant.

"You might as well go there and talk."

The envoy hesitated and reluctantly agreed to Zhao Wuling's request.

The two came to the restaurant and sat across from each other. In just a few steps, countless people had already heard the news.

Seeing Zhao Wuling who had changed into the clothes of the Lord of Light Temple, they hesitated to speak.

When the envoy saw that there were many people around, he coughed lightly.

"We already know what happened in the Rhine City. Now that Lord Ares, the God of War, has personally given you a reward, do you still insist on leaving the Rhine City?"

"In all these years, have we, the God of War Temple, ever treated you badly?"

"Rhine City belongs to the Temple of the God of War in name, but in fact it is all under your control. This is the trust of the God of War. Isn't this enough for you to stay?"

Zhao Wuling slowly shook his head.

How could someone who has been able to sit in the position of city lord for such a long time and manage the Rhine City in such an orderly manner not understand the entanglements of interests involved?

In fact, the moment the messenger appeared, Zhao Wuling guessed what was going on.

It was nothing more than the news that he had betrayed the Temple of the God of War and left the Rhine City, and the people in the Rhine City began to fight for power.

As the matter gradually escalated, it attracted the attention of the Temple of the God of War.

After all, this Rhine City is the most prosperous place among hundreds of nearby cities.

A considerable amount of tribute can be paid to the Temple of the God of War every month.

If the Rhine City is destroyed, it will affect the interests of some people in the Temple of the God of War.

Only then did they remember to send someone to comfort themselves.

Otherwise, considering the distance between the place where the envoy lives and the Rhine City, two hours would be enough to arrive.

Why delay until now?

This is ignored and only remembered when necessary.

It was in sharp contrast to the treatment he received in the Light Lord Temple.

Zhao Wuling sneered in his heart, as if he had seen through everything that happened to these people.

"The Lord of Light did not look down upon me because I had no merit, nor did he doubt my loyalty because I was a defecting believer."

"With these two points alone, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

With a slight snort, Zhao Wuling looked at the envoy firmly.

"I can't do anything about this matter. The chaos in the Rhine City has nothing to do with me. I went back to the Rhine City today just to meet my friends, not to deal with trivial matters in the Rhine City."

"I need to explain to the God Envoy that I am now a member of the Temple of the Lord of Light, not the Temple of the God of War. I have no obligation to help the Temple of the God of War."

"Even if the Lord of Light doesn't mind me helping you, I'm tired of it."

After saying this, Zhao Wuling stood up and looked at the reluctant people in the Rhine City.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

"I am no longer the city lord. You can call me Zhao Wuling. This is the name given by the Lord of Light."

Everyone looked horrified.

Even the divine envoy had a look of astonishment on his face.

For someone with such an important position as City Lord, their belief in the God of War must be higher than that of ordinary believers.

It only took a day for a believer who was at least a devout believer to change his mind.

He joined the Temple of the Lord of Light without looking back.

What conditions did they offer to the city lord?

The messenger gritted his teeth.

"Zhao Wuling, if you are willing to re-manage Rhine City, we have already discussed with you to triple your salary and give you a chance to meet the God of War."

"As long as you behave appropriately, you can become a director of the Temple of the God of War at any time."

This was already the highest condition that the envoy could offer, and he did not believe that the city lord would not be tempted.

Meeting the Lord God of War, isn't it something that the city lord has been thinking about for a long time?

However, Zhao Wuling just chuckled and shook his head.

"The benefits are waived. I don't need the benefits now."

The envoy was immediately angry.

My good words and persuasion are useless, so I have to be tough! Quietly releasing my power, the shadow of the temple of Ares, the God of War, quietly emerged.

The god made his eyes faint.

"Since it's useless to persuade you, then don't blame me."

A strong wind roared, and everyone in the restaurant hurriedly retreated.

"Lord City Lord, don't be stupid!"

A middle-aged man took a step forward instead of retreating, standing between the two of them. He first scolded Zhao Wuling, and then looked at the divine envoy with a smile on his face.

"Master God Envoy, if you give us a little more time, we will definitely be able to make the city lord change his mind."

"The city lord has been managing the Rhine City for so many years, he will definitely not let it go."

The kind smile on his face could not reduce the anger in the angel's heart by half.

The conditions he offered have reached the upper limit, and there can never be more! In his opinion, Zhao Wuling betrayed the God of War.

"Get away!"
Chapter completed!
