Daili Comes to Hess City

In reality, if Dylan's invasion hadn't come so quickly and suddenly, the Darkness Church, having already received news of Fengyun's breakthrough to the Saint Realm, would have already recalled him to the Dark Alliance.

After all, unless absolutely necessary, sending Saint Realm to the enemy's territory to cause trouble is an extremely risky business, and could easily lead to disastrous consequences.

Therefore, powerful beings in the Saint Realm will not easily interfere in mortal disputes unless they are offended!

This is because Fengyun acted too quickly afterward, and the Beast Tide attack made things chaotic; otherwise, he would probably have already received the Darkness Church's recall notice by now.

In conclusion, under the current circumstances, if the Light Church could not discover that Fengyun was problematic and determine that Daili, who frequently interacted with Fengyun, was also problematic, then the Light Church would not have been able to develop steadily to this point.

Therefore, Fengyun's actions have truly implicated Daili.

Dressed in a black swordsman's outfit, Daili used her sword to push open a gap in the veil of her straw hat, revealing a resentful look in her eyes, and said, "You should apologize. Given our relationship, when Beast Tide attacks the city, you didn't even think of helping a weak woman like me and taking me with you to escape."

"If it weren't for Ma Yi, I wouldn't even be able to find you!"

Then she looked around and said, "But you are really cautious, actually arranging such a secret base for yourself in the Hess Kingdom."

"If I hadn't remembered your previous instructions to let Ma Yi help me escape if I encountered big trouble, I would never have imagined that you would be here."

Upon hearing this, Fengyun asked in surprise, "You came here specifically to find me?"

"With such a major incident, shouldn't we immediately gather the potentially exposed members of the organization back to the Dark Alliance?"

With his own exposure and the Beast Tide attacking the city, Fengyun originally thought that the Darkness Church would most likely take the opportunity to recall the exposed undercover members.

In Fengyun's mind, the Darkness Church would at most abandon a group of less important members to continue holding their posts, maintain the minimum level of organizational operation, and incidentally vent its anger on the Light Church.

But this should absolutely not include Daili. Having spent so much time together, Fengyun had long since realized that Daili's status in the organization must be extraordinary.

Daili seemed to see Fengyun's doubts and said, "As a newly promoted Saint Realm expert, in order to ensure that you don't lack a group of usable people, the higher-ups directly arranged for us, who are likely already exposed, to assist you."

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Affleck and the others, who were already worried that Fengyun didn't feel any sense of belonging to the Darkness Church, didn't forget about Fengyun, the newly promoted Saint Realm powerhouse, even when faced with such a major event as the Beast Tide attack.

He arranged for Daili and the others to be under his command for two reasons: first, the Darkness Church didn't have any reserve forces to assign to Fengyun at this time; and second, Daili and the others were familiar enough with Fengyun that it was just right to assign them to Fengyun.

At the same time, Okasi also had his own calculations. With Daili as his junior, having this connection would make it much easier to build relationships in the future.

With a sweep of his Spiritual Power, Fengyun immediately spotted several familiar faces among the refugees around him. Although he hadn't interacted with these people before, he knew they were all spies from the Darkness Church.

With a slight frown, Fengyun continued his investigation and discovered many other people he didn't recognize, but who were connected to these people. They were probably just like Daili, the servants assigned to him by the Darkness Church.

Seeing Fengyun's slightly furrowed brows, Daili Li asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong? You look unhappy!"

He and Fengyun had known each other since childhood. After she officially became Fengyun 'Fengyun contact, they got along very well, to the point that there was even a hint of ambiguous feelings between them that an undercover agent shouldn't have.

This is also one of the factors that led the Darkness Church to assign her to Fengyun's command.

Ultimately, their relationship has been strained by a nearly eight-year hiatus, so although they are currently good friends, their relationship is still very close.

But we're just friends!

After Fengyun broke through to the Saint Realm, his personal status improved significantly. The reason why Daili greeted him in that way before was because of their relationship, and she also hoped that this relationship would not be broken by the huge difference in strength between the two of them.

But seeing Fengyun frowning, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Fengyun didn't respond to Daili's anxiety. Instead, he looked around as if observing something and replied, "Daili, you must have had a difficult journey here, with so many magical beasts around."

"How many brothers were lost in total?"

Upon hearing this, Daili's anxious heart immediately calmed down, and she said with a hint of happiness at being cared for, "There was no loss. Although there are not many of us, we are all warriors and mages with considerable strength."

"Especially with Level 7 Priest like Penelope and Level Eight Warrior like Uncle Allen protecting us, what could possibly happen to us, what losses could we possibly suffer?"

Upon hearing this, Fengyun raised an eyebrow and said, "Penelope, Allen?"

At the same time, he used his Spiritual Power to scan and observe a male Level Eight Warrior nearby and a female Level Seven Mage not far from Daili.

Allen was a burly man with a stubble beard. Although he had the strength of Level Eight Warrior, his physical potential was exhausted, and it was obvious that he had broken through to the Level 8 with the help of a secret medicine.

From his weathered eyes, Fengyun could sense that this was a man with a story to tell.

Penelope, on the other hand, was a voluptuous woman, much older Daili, but the fact that Daili affectionately called her "Daili sister" indicated that they had a very good relationship.

Fengyun looked at Penelope, leaned closer to Daili, and smiled, "Sister Penelope, you call her that so affectionately. It seems she must have taken good care of you during your time on the run."

Daili smiled and said, "Yes, Penelope is a very strong magician. We were able to get here without any trouble."

"Sister Penelope has made a significant contribution!"

"I wish I could become a powerful magician like Penelope within ten years."

Although Daili, who has awakened the Light Elf Bloodline, only has a superior affinity for the Light Element, her aptitude is no worse than that of geniuses with super-superior aptitude, thanks to the blessing of her bloodline. Moreover, her Spiritual Power grows at an extraordinary speed.

For her, who is already at level six, breaking through to Level 7 within ten years is certainly challenging, but not impossible!

Fengyun ignored Daili's longing and continued to ask, "It seems she is really outstanding. She must have provided the organization with a lot of secret and valuable intelligence before, right?"
