"Oh, I see!! Someone must have wanted Troy to help build the Holy City. He did this for his own advancement, but Troy misunderstood and thought it was our Holy Church that did it. So, he vented his resentment on our Holy Church and wanted to destroy this sacred place that represents our Holy Church — the Cloudtop Palace." As Archbishop, he was no ordinary person and quickly came up with this conjecture.
"There's basically no mistake! When we were searching for the relics of Troy, we didn't find the blueprint for this Alchemy Array. It's probably because he never drew it!" The Archbishop holding the documents said with a frown.
He frowned because he realized that the blueprint might not have been left undrawn, but rather that someone had taken it earlier, which would complicate matters further!
This is because it would mean that someone is plotting something and wants to use this to attack the Holy Church!
And this is exactly what they don't want to see!
They not only didn't want to see anyone attack the Holy Church, but they also didn't want to see this person appear, because they believed that if such a person existed, there was a high probability that he was one of their own, and someone of high status within the Holy Church!
This is because the relics of Troy could only be accessed by a very small number of people!
Hopefully, this was just an accident; hopefully, this thing was accidentally circulated among people over the past thousand years, and didn't fall into the hands of the Holy Church; even more hopeful is that such a thing never existed in the first place!
Leaving aside other matters for now, the answer to whether it was an accident seems to be yes, at least there is no evidence on the surface that it was man-made!
This Alchemy Array was activated unexpectedly, and the person who triggered it was Ye Lang!
It's hard to know what to say about him; he was the one who started it, and he was also the one who solved the problem...
Speaking of Ye Lang, the Archbishop had something to say at this point!
"This Ye Lang kid is indeed quite capable. From the initial plague to the later Muddleheaded Hall, and just now the Alchemy Array, they have all been quite unexpected! Do you think we need him to solve our problems too?!" said an Archbishop. At this moment, although no one said what the problem was, everyone had a good idea.
"This kid does indeed possess legendary skills, and his alchemy is unmatched. He's very suitable to help us solve that problem. However, isn't this a bit against the rules?" another Archbishop frowned.
Back when the plague ended, they had thought about asking Ye Lang for help, but several months have passed and they still haven't taken any action, all because of that sentence above—it's against the rules!
"Illegal my foot! What time is it now? Why bother with this? If this continues, the consequences will be even more serious! Besides, this Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan is a very interesting person. Asking him for help isn't illegal. As long as we give him the appropriate reward, there won't be any problems!" The Archbishop said, stroking his beard.
"Yes, yes..." The four Archbishop all began to stroke their beards. It seemed that the matter was more or less settled!
"Then it's decided. Let Ye Lang come in and help!" The small meeting of the four Archbishop was over, and they quickly sent the Knights of Light below to carry out their decision.
"What? Ye Lang is already here?"
Similarly, the Archbishop quickly received the news that Ye Lang was currently inside the Cloudtop Palace! This news stunned them for a moment, leaving them speechless!
"If that's the case, then it's even easier. Find his location and go there in person to ask him for help!" The Archbishop stroked his beard. They felt that if they went there, Ye Lang would feel very honored, and the matter would be much easier to resolve.
If you're asking for a favor, you should act like you're asking for a favor; of course, you should go there yourself!
This is what the Archbishop were thinking. In fact, if it were anyone else, they would have considered whether or not they needed to go, but with Ye Lang, they didn't need to consider it; they had to do it.
This is not only because Ye Lang's prestige here is stronger than that of these Archbishop, but also because Ye Lang will not give face to anyone. Even if the Pope himself intervenes, he may not get a satisfactory result.
Therefore, at this moment, the Archbishop must show Ye Lang their sincerity!
Next, the Archbishop received an even more unexpected reply: Ye Lang's location...
"What?! He's on the fifth floor, in room number one in the East Wing?" The Archbishop were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at the Knights of Light had reported the news.
The Knights of Light felt immense pressure and a touch of pride under the constant gaze of the four Archbishop; he believed few could command such attention.
Of course, he also understood that this attention was actually for Ye Lang's sake!
"Yes, it's right there, in..." the Knights of Light said calmly, without changing his expression.
"Fine, we wanted him to go there anyway, isn't this even better! Let's go then!!" said the Archbishop. The reason they were so surprised was that Ye Lang in the place they wanted him to help them.
Unexpectedly, before they could even say those words, Ye Lang had already gone over!
Perhaps, this time, I won't even need to say a word!
The Archbishop realized that this might be the reason why they were walking even slower. They were already slow enough as old people, but now they were even slower.
At this moment, they were unaware that their slow pace had led to a spectacular turn of events. If they had gone to give their approval earlier and granted Ye Lang permission to enter the room, none of this would have happened!
"Ye Lang! What are you doing? What are you doing here all by yourself?" Zhen Xiaoyan ran up to Ye Lang and said to him.
"I'm waiting... Hey, Fatty, what's wrong?" Just as Ye Lang was about to answer, Zhen Xiaoyan fell asleep in his arms without any prior warning.
It was inevitable that Ye Lang couldn't wake Zhen Xiaoyan matter how hard he shook her. In this state, even if the sky fell, he still couldn't wake her up!
Soon, Ye Lang remembered something—
"Damn, you haven't eaten again, have you?"
The most likely reason Zhen Xiaoyan is in this state is that she didn't eat enough and fainted from hunger!
