228 The Church of Healing is Playing A Big Game of Chess (I)
The mayfly witch leaned against a big tree and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her orange hair fell down her shoulders, and she said with a serious expression.
“People from higher civilizations back the Black Beast Alliance… You know that, right?”
Lin Ye nodded, “I know,”
Without someone from a higher civilization taking the lead, it’s impossible for them to work together because of the conflicts between their forces.
The mayfly witch said slowly, “That’s not the main point.”
“The real key is that the other party knows that you’ve cleared the entire Hive and even calculated the time you would return.”
“Obviously.”
“The Church of Healing is behind them.”
“Huh?” Lin Ye was stunned.
“The Church of Healing?”
“When I came back, I did meet them. They said they wanted to get my level 15 combat data, but when they found out that I didn’t want my human compatriots to get hurt, they left…”
“Why are they doing this now?”
“Isn’t that unnecessary?”
The mayfly witch shook her head, “You should look at this from another angle.”
“The people from the Church of Healing are a bunch of strange lunatics. Their actions are hard to predict. Yesterday, they were still calling you brother, but today, they suddenly pointed their swords at you. This is also a common thing.”
“Moreover…”
“The Black Beast Alliance was formed two months ago.”
“It’s impossible for them to join forces to deal with your human forces. The team was especially formed to deal with you.”
“In other words…”
“The guy hiding behind the scenes knew about your movements at least two months ago. He guessed that you might be able to open up a path in Hive and took advantage of the threat you posed to the other low-leveled civilizations to take the initiative to find the eight low-leveled civilizations and negotiate with them.”
Lin Ye touched his chin and made a guess, “Could it be some other higher civilization?”
The mayfly witch continued to shake her head, “Impossible.”
“I didn’t leak any information about you.”
“Although the creatures from the low-leveled civilizations that came into contact with you suffered losses in your hands, it’s impossible for them to judge that you have the ability to break through the Hive-like tunnel just from that battle and then run to inform the forces of the higher-leveled civilizations to join forces to deal with you.”
“Let’s take a step back.”
“Even if it’s really that group of half-wolves who spread the news about your situation��”
“When the people from the higher civilizations hear this, they will at most sigh that you have great potential. It’s impossible for them to think that you have the ability to pass through Hive and come to target you.”
After a pause, the mayfly witch continued, “You’ve come into contact with people from the Church of Healing.”
They should be very clear about how proud people from higher civilizations are and how much they look down on people from lower civilizations.
“Do they think that there’s an ant stronger than them?”
Lin Ye fell into a short silence.
“Yes…”
“You’re also a….”
The mayfly witch glanced at Su Mumu, who was standing beside Lin Ye with a face full of question marks, and continued, “Moreover, I’ve said before that your little girlfriend is very special. As long as the people from the higher civilizations know of her existence, they won’t come to find trouble. Instead, they will take the initiative to protect you.”
“Well… Anyone else other than the Church of Healing, that is.”
“That’s why they would do such a thing that harms others without benefiting themselves.”
Su Mumu stared at them in confusion. o_O???
‘What…?’
‘What does it have to do with me?’
“Mayfly witch is just joking. But I need to remind you that she’s not my girlfriend.”
At least, not yet.
The mayfly witch waved her hand and sighed, “It doesn’t matter. You two look like a married couple. You’ll be one sooner or later.”
“Right, little sister?”
Su Mumu was speechless. (ŏ_ŏ)
‘Uh…?’
‘I shouldn’t answer her, right…?’
It was better to listen to Lin Ye and not talk to her in case the other woman tricked her.
‘However,’
‘The term ‘little girlfriend’…’
‘At first, I thought Lin Ye used my name to block a knife for him.’
‘He probably didn’t expect this big-breasted woman to make a wild guess.’
Meh~
Lin Ye protected Su Mumu behind him and used his eyes to signal her not to get involved in this strange topic. Then, he looked at the mayfly witch again and calmly brought the topic back on track.
“If the Church of Healing leads this Alliance…”
“Does that mean that they’ve changed their mind and are planning to kill me?”
“I’m not sure,” The mayfly witch said.
“You said they wanted to kill you, right?”
“They clearly knew where you were going, and they could predict the time and place of your return, but they couldn’t predict your strength accurately. They only sent level 30 Professionals, and not a single one of them had broken through level 30.”
“This caused the team’s combat power to be insufficient, and you were able to delay them for a few minutes without any pressure. You were able to hold them off for the human reinforcements to arrive and safely evacuate.”
“But you said they didn’t want to kill you, right?”
“Fifty level 30 Professionals with a special skill set to deal with a level 15 Professional.”
“Normally, it’s more than enough. There’s almost no risk of failure.”
The mayfly witch sighed softly, ”
“Aish.”
“I don’t understand.”
“That’s why we, the people of higher civilizations, hate dealing with these fanatics who believe in gods.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ye frowned.
He began to recall what the members of the Church of Healing had said to him.
‘It seems that these guys only said that they didn’t expect me to value the lives of other humans, but they didn’t clearly state that they won’t use similar methods to test my combat data in the future.’
‘But…’
‘Instead, they had arranged for the cannon fodder of the Black Beast Alliance to come and trap me?’
