Chapter 159

Chen Bofu almost never loses his composure in front of outsiders.

Even in front of my grandson.

He has never been like this...

Seeing the undisguised sadness in his eyes, Chen Jing felt that the old man seemed to have changed. He was no longer the crazy old lunatic who often clamored to kill people...

"I have no control over the affairs of the parliament." Chen Bofu said in a hoarse voice, his whole mood was very low, "I only care about my grandson, other people are none of my business..."

"You should know that the Priory doesn't care about this city. What they care about is us...including you." Senator Randolph said helplessly, "They won't feel at ease unless we die."

"Don't include me!" Chen Bofu said impatiently, "Those monks only regard you as a thorn in their side and have nothing to do with me. It is you who have been blocking the arrival of Gehro..."

"Don't you have any friendship with them?" Senator Randolph asked calmly, "Have you forgotten how the Pope's only student died?"

"Are you threatening me?" Chen Bofu frowned, "In the worst case, I will run away with my grandson. What a big deal..."

"No, I definitely didn't mean to threaten you, don't get me wrong..." Councilor Randolph explained pitifully, "I'm begging you, I want you to help me..."

Chen Boxu glanced at him and then at his good grandson sitting next to him.

"In the past, I would have helped you, but now... how can I help you with my family?"

In fact, when it came to this, Chen Boxu had already expressed his attitude very clearly, but Randolph seemed to not understand and still nodded with a smile.

"I can help you if you can!" Senator Randolph said with a smile, "You are just afraid that this trouble will involve your grandson..."

Chen Bofu looked at him calmly, his eyes very alert.

"I send you the Parliament."

Randolph's words were shocking, as if he had already made this plan, and there was no hint of joking on his face.

"From now on, you are the new member of the parliament, and the entire Yongye Parliament belongs to you..."

Chen Jing was stunned when he heard what Senator Randolph said, because he had never expected that the situation would develop like this...

The great councilor of Eternal Night wants to give the entire parliament to the old man? !

He was joking... No!

It seems like this is the only optimal solution.

If Senator Randolph is really about to die, then the parliament without a backer will pose no threat to the [Moonlight Priory].

As long as the "old madman" doesn't interfere, it's only a matter of time before the Priory destroys the Parliament.

That being the case.

It would be better to just do it more simply.

Directly give the entire parliament as a big gift to the "old madman", as long as the parliament can be tied to the old man...

"Do you think I care about the position of a congressman?"

Chen Bofu rolled his eyes at Randolph angrily and cursed.

"If I wanted to be a member of parliament, when you begged grandpa and grandma to let me join the parliament... damn, there is no need to discuss this matter anyway!"

Hearing Chen Bofu's decisive refusal, Randolph said nothing more. Perhaps he had prepared for the worst at the beginning, and the old man's refusal might have been expected by him...

"Let's do this..." Randolph decided to do the next best thing and said cautiously, "If you want to leave Yongye City...can you take the people from the parliament with you when you leave?"

"Are you crazy?!" Chen Bofu stared at Congressman Randolph in disbelief, "There are so many people in the parliament! How can I take them away?!"

"Then..." Senator Randolph was speechless, "Then I'll think of a solution myself..."

"Damn it, you just don't have the skills!" Chen Bofu said viciously, "If you have the skills, I will help you once. At worst, I will leave Yongye after this job..."

"How can I help?" Senator Randolph asked subconsciously, and Chen Jing also looked at the old man at this moment, because he couldn't guess what the old man was planning.

"While you're still alive! You and I will work together to kill the Pope!" Chen Bofu gritted his teeth, "Even if we can't kill him, there's a 80% chance that we can seriously injure him if we work together..."

After hearing this, Randolph looked at Chen Bofu blankly, and remained silent for a long time with a complicated expression... Until finally, he shook his head and said.

"I can not do it."

"Are you scared?!" Chen Bofu asked in disbelief.

"Of course not...I just...can't..."

Senator Randolph said, slowly raising his hand, motioning for Chen Boxu and Chen Jing to take a closer look.

Until now.

Chen Boxu and Chen Jingcai noticed that Randolph's body seemed to be in some kind of "abnormal state" all the time, which could be seen from his palms...

If you don't look carefully, they are no different from normal people.

But if you look carefully, you will find that Senator Randolph’s palm has been “self-disintegrating”.

It seems to have broken away from the realm of flesh and blood.

It is composed of countless small "gravels".

There are gaps between these weird "gravels". They are not tightly connected together, but seem to be forcibly bound by some force to maintain the status quo. Once the restraint is lost...

"I can no longer fight." Senator Randolph said with a bitter smile. "If I dare to use the power of the old descendant again, in just a moment... I will be annihilated by my own power."

"You're a waste!" Chen Bofu covered his head in pain, feeling that the clever plan he had just come up with wasted.

"Why don't you just listen to me?" Senator Randolph asked again, "After I die, let the parliament issue a notice saying that you will inherit my position as a senator, and then..."

"You can't die!" Chen Jing said hurriedly.

Before Senator Randolph and the old man could react, Chen Jing hurriedly added.

"At least you can't let outsiders know that you're dead, otherwise the people of the hermitage will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble."

Hearing this, Senator Randolph nodded, and said with lingering fear: "I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it... It seems that people who are dying don't use their brains well..."

Just then, Chen Bofu suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Jing.

"Jingjing, wait for me in the car first."

"Okay."

Chen Jing nodded in response, not knowing why. Although he was curious about why the old man wanted to send him away, he still chose to go back obediently.

It's the same if you go back and ask if there's anything.

Just walked out of the church.

Chen Jing saw Xu Ye standing not far away at first sight.

She stood under the only locust tree in the courtyard, leaning against the trunk, looking up at Gehlo hanging high in the sky.

Seeing Chen Jing coming out.

Xu Ye smiled and waved at him.

"What's wrong, Sister Xu Ye?"

"Jing Jing, have you heard of the 'Light Bearer'?"

Chapter 186 The Light Bearer and the Container of God

Light Bearer?

Hearing this familiar name, Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously searched in the memory of his brain... until he found the corresponding answer.

Yes!

The time when the old man offended the [Moonlight Hermitage] the most was when he killed the Light Bearer of the Hermitage... It is said that he was the only student of the Pope, and some people even called him the successor of the Pope.

"The Light Bearer... I've heard of it." Chen Jing nodded.

"Do you know what this title means?" Xu Ye asked with a smile, as if he had lost his previous nervousness and seemed to be particularly relaxed, as if he had forgotten that the threat of the hermit order was still hanging over his head.

"What does it mean?" Chen Jing was not in a hurry to return to the car, so he stood under the locust tree and chatted with Xu Ye.

"Container."

Xu Ye looked back at the car, as if looking at the girl sitting in the car.

"Like the death bird, they are all containers of Gehro."

Hearing Xu Ye say this, Chen Jing immediately became more interested, because he had always been curious about what Yan Que was in the hermit order... The death bird seemed to be different from those monks, but no one had explained to him what it was specifically.

"Ghero cannot descend to the world, so he can only project his own consciousness into a medium or container."

"The light bearer, the death bird."

"These two types of people are the top-level Gehro containers."

Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Is there any difference between these two containers?"

"Yes, the difference is quite big." Xuye explained patiently, "The Light Bearer is the top container, which can accept Gehro's consciousness without limit, and can let Gehro project as many times as he wants."

Speaking of this, Xuye shrugged his shoulders, and his expression became a little helpless.

"As for your good friend... Yan Que, right?"

"Yes."

"The Death Bird can only accept Gehro's projection once, and then the body will perish. In simple terms... the Death Bird is a disposable item for Gehro, and it has no meaning to exist after it is used up."

Hearing Xuye's description, Chen Jing couldn't help frowning, and his expression became a little ugly.

However, Xuye didn't care about the change in Chen Jing's expression, and continued to introduce it to Chen Jing.

"So most of the Light Bearers will be trained by the Hermitage as candidates for the next Pope... As for the Deathbirds, they will also be trained, but in the direction of killers."

"Sister Xuye, you are not telling me this to tell me the origin of the Wordbird, right?" Chen Jing asked with a frown.

"Of course not, I'm not that bored!" Xuye laughed and pointed at Gehlo in the sky, "I just found out... we are a little stupid."

"What do you mean?" Chen Jing was stunned.

"We all thought that the Hermitage was going to declare war on us, and we wanted to seize this opportunity to overturn the table and purge the Evernight City..." Xuye shook his head, his expression became inexplicably excited, "We all guessed wrong!"

Under Chen Jing's puzzled eyes, Xuye told the story to himself.

Three minutes ago.

She received a tip from the security guard in the city.

[The Moonlight Hermitage] emptied all three warehouses in the industrial park.

"Those warehouses are filled with a special metal called 'white filth', all transported from outside the wasteland..."

"Didn't all the spies you sent out disappear?" Chen Jing asked in confusion, "How did you get this information?"

"The River Valley Industrial Zone has always been under the jurisdiction of our [Round Table Council]. It is not a parish. We have as many spies as we want... Oh, that's not the point!"

Xu Ye said, his tone becoming more and more excited.

"Do you know what those metals can be used for?"

Chen Jing shook his head.

"I don't know."

"Help the Light Bearer awaken." Xuye seemed to have sorted out everything that happened today in his mind, and explained to Chen Jing slowly, "This is recorded in the archives of our parliament, because the Light Bearer has appeared more than once in history."

According to Xuye, the awakening of the Light Bearer is not as simple as the awakening of the Old Descendants.

To become a Light Bearer, you must first awaken the "Moonlight Sequence" to become an Old Descendant, and then you must go through a series of internal tests to determine that the degree of compatibility with Gehlo reaches a certain threshold, so that you can perform the Light Bearer's promotion ceremony.

"The promotion ceremony requires two materials, one is the special metal white filth that is relatively easy to find, and the second is..."

Xuye smiled mysteriously and raised his hand to point to the moon in the sky.

"You mean the Gehro origin that fell from the sky... is used to awaken the Light Bearer for them?"

"That's right." Xuye snapped his fingers, smiling, "So we all guessed wrong. The current situation is not that bad. As for why Gehro suddenly shortened the distance between itself and the surface... we still have to continue investigating."

Chen Jing was slightly relieved when he heard this, and felt that the stone pressing on his heart was moved away a little.

"Light Bearer..."

Chen Jing turned his head to look in the direction of the parish, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.
