Is it okay to have some face?

Among the mercenaries around, as long as they understand the causes and consequences, they will inevitably sigh in their hearts. Although we control people have never been very reasonable, they cannot speak nonsense. Just now, you ordered the firepower to be fully opened and made up your mind to kill the other party on the spot. How could you turn your head and put the responsibility for launching an attack on the other party? Is it true that the promised symbol of honesty and credibility? Moreover, there are also things like surveillance in this world, and you can't just say it casually. Of course, just think about it in your heart. Even if you don't want to admit it, everyone is all from the same camp, so you still have to save face.

The mercenaries knew about these things, but the Steam Knight and the Mage who came from afar did not know about them, especially the Steam Knight Carson. Unfortunately, it was his turn to be on duty today. He rushed over just because he suddenly sensed that a battle broke out in the distance. He didn't know anything, and he didn't even know the identity of both parties in the war. Therefore, when he heard the crow's righteous accusation, he couldn't help but mutter, and said to the embarrassed man in gray robe in a gentle voice: "Sir, I don't understand the situation yet. It seems that Professor Nicholas doesn't know much. Can you please give me some guidance and let us figure out what happened just now?"

"Hiss~" The man in gray nodded, and just as he was about to raise his hand to point at the convoy, the pain from the wound made his face shrink into a ball. He endured the heart-wrenching pain. The man in gray no longer posed and said angrily: "I am William, the third-level bishop of the subdistrict church, and one of the leaders of foreign affairs across the world."

"Ah, I remembered that at the annual meeting last year, I saw you next to the Bishop of the District, Saint-San." Knight Carson raised his chest and bowed respectfully. Nicholas, who was standing on the side of the Crow, also nodded slightly. Level 3 is mainly middle and high-level people in the district church, and at least has a certain status within the scope of the Steam Capital. Even if Carson and Nicholas are both top-level powerhouses, they should show respect politely. "Mr. William, how did the battle just now break out?"

"I am following the orders of the district bishop, and I convey the decree of the saint to Ms. Mi Xin and her group who visited the Source Energy Capital, and are preparing to invite them to go to the cathedral the afternoon of the following day. The district bishop will meet them in person." William, a man in gray, wanted to raise his hand to the crow, so he naturally grinned again, and had to cover the wound on his shoulder and said hatefully, "I didn't expect that just stopped them, they besieged me like crazy, especially him, the black-clothed man, from beginning to end, he gave orders to besieged me. Knight Carson, you saw it just now. You all came forward to stop him and refused to give up. Finally, he tried to attack me. If you hadn't rescued in time, he might have succeeded."

William's voice was trembling. Although some of it was caused by the pain, more of it was still lingering fear.

He was really scared. It was not obvious at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he became more and more afraid. Since becoming a third-level bishop, William has been living a pampering life. Except for a few superior bishops, everyone around him held him, making him accustomed to being domineering and never suffered such a fright. When he recalled the attack that the other party was unable to defend, he kept slamming one after another, and the move was fatal, he felt a chill on his back, especially when he saw the shy and weak smile on the face of the man in black... William had a cold war and hurriedly looked away, and no longer wanted to look at the crow.

"Sir." Under the transparent mask, Carson's face darkened, "You have heard Saint William's words, you still..."

"Carson, do you really want to deal with disputes?" Before Carson finished speaking, he was interrupted by Professor Nicholas, dressed up by scholars. Nicholas straightened the wig on his head and sneered: "Why do I think you are planning to forcibly maintain the reputation of your Steam Church? Hey, you keep the chivalrous spirit on your mouth every day, and throw it aside when you really need it. It is worthy of being a Steam Knight, which is very styled in your church."

"Nicholas, if you have any objections, just say, I am not a member of your Mage Alliance, and I don't understand your strange sarcasm." Carson said with anger, "And, you can sarcasm me, but if you sarcasm our church again, I don't mind launching a duel against you in the name of the Lord."

"Haha, okay." Nicholas shook his red robe, and a blurred phantom appeared behind him. It could be seen that the phantom was very similar to the first generation of differential machines I just saw, but the size and complexity were far different. The phantom of the differential machine was running rapidly, and the energy in Nicholas's body became extremely active. "As long as you initiate a duel, I will accept it anytime, anywhere, you..."

"Cough cough cough." A few dry coughs broke the two people who were tense. When they turned around, they saw the crow's smile. "You two wait first and talk about the duel. From what you mean, it seems that they really want to reason with us, rather than deliberately creating an excuse to attack us?"

"Of course." Nicholas said affirmatively, "people in the Steam Capital have always been reasonable, at least those outside the Steel Church are like this, so don't worry, we will never just listen to the one-sided words of church people."

"So that's it, then I'll apologize to you first. I misunderstood you and confused you with the person who attacked us for no reason." The corner of my eyes glanced from William's face, which made him tremble subconsciously. The crow showed a signature smile. "I don't know the purpose of this Mr. William, but most of what he said was the truth about what happened just now, but I really want to know, when you Steam World send invitation letters to people, do you like to first create traffic accidents and let the other party's car be destroyed and then use the invitation letter as a funeral object?"

"Um?"

"Stop us? It's so simple. Even the rigid shield is used. This is how you send invitation letters? At that time, what will happen to the people in the car after hitting it? We energy controlers do not have any danger. If you are a civilian in the steam world, you may have suffered minor injuries. But our boss Mi Xin is an ordinary person in our energy world. She is more fragile than your civilians. You guess if we fail to escape from the car with our boss in time, will she be hit and even die of death?" The crow hugged her chest with her hands, and her voice became colder and colder. "Maybe your steam church calls this kind of behavior an invitation, but in our opinion, this is open murder. I don't know how your steam world defines private fights, but I believe that no matter which world you are in, when facing deliberate murder and the other party's strength is obviously stronger than your own, the victim has unlimited self-defense."

"This...you..." William wanted to refute something, but he was speechless. He couldn't say a complete sentence. It seemed that right, the civilians in the other party's car, who had the energy world, could not withstand this intensity of impact. It seemed like he attacked the other party first. No wonder...wait, it was wrong. William finally reacted and said angrily, "The cars of the Mage Alliance are equipped with stabilization devices. After turning on it, they can avoid the influence of inertia. Even if a rigid impact occurs, it will not hurt the passengers in the car. No matter how fragile she is, she will not be injured."

"Can you know what device you can turn on in time before the impact?" Crow sneered, "or do you think we should be grateful for your actions just because our boss is 'maybe' unable to die?"

"Huh, I understand, it's just a misunderstanding." Knight Carson sighed deeply and said tiredly, "Biss William, I have to say that your behavior today is inappropriate, which damages the reputation of the church. Although they reacted a little too aggressively, the responsibility is indeed not on them. You should go back to the church first, and then change to another saint to give it to them."

"Okay, I understand." Looking at the shocking wound on my shoulders, I knew that this blow would probably be in vain. William nodded bitterly, "Arrogance and recklessness have eroded my will. After I go back, I will think about my mistakes and warn myself."

"This is best." Knight Carson saluted solemnly, "I believe that the great Lord of Steel will not blame you for this, Lord Saint."

"Wait, go back?" the crow said leisurely, "What about the iron rule of prohibiting private fights? Just forget it?"

"Sir, strictly speaking, the behavior of Lord Saint is not enough to take the initiative to attack. If you don't believe me, you can also ask Professor Nicholas beside you. This unprovoked battle is mainly because your side has overreacted." Knight Carson sighed again, "But your reason is also sufficient. After all, the most fundamental reason is the wrong behavior of Lord Saint, so please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of Saint William and the Iron Church. I hope you can forgive our mistakes and don't pursue this misunderstanding again."

"Professor Nicholas." The crow did not comment, but bowed to the mage beside him, "What about your opinion?"

"Hmm? Me?"

"Yes, we don't know the Steel Church, so I want to hear your opinions." The crow said with a smile. "It seems that the people in the church value the reputation of the church. What I worry most now is that even if I promise not to pursue this matter anymore. When the limelight comes, in order to maintain the reputation of the church, the bishops and knights of the church line up to find a way to silence the silence. Although private fights are not allowed, from today's events, there are too many loopholes to take advantage of. There are so many strong people in the church, and some are ways to make us die unclear."

"You don't have to worry about this." Nicholas raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely. "What happened today must not be hidden. Hey, the saints of the Iron Church almost broke the rules they set because of their recklessness and arrogance. This news will spread throughout the city soon and will have a significant impact on the reputation of the church. However, the representatives of the church stopped the dispute in time and handled it impartially without any favoritism. As the honor of the paladin, they personally apologized to the other party, showing the justice and demeanor of the church. In this way, not only will the reputation of the church be damaged, but it will also make people trust the church more. Bad things will suddenly become good things. Hehe, otherwise why do you think Carson asks you for forgiveness?"

Although Nicholas's voice was not loud, Carson could definitely hear it, but he did not react at all. He stood straight in place, allowing Nicholas to sarcasm. It can be seen that Nicholas's words were not just speculation.

"Oh, so that's it." The crow made a sudden realization seriously, "So..."

"So? Think about it, there is nothing to worry about. The church comes to you? It's too late for them to hide from you now, so how dare they cause trouble for you publicly? Not only can they not come out to cause trouble for you, but they also have to restrict believers from hiding you far away. Never mess with you, otherwise anyone with a normal mind will connect two things, believing that the church in this city is a hypocrite who is in front of you and behind you. This is much more serious than a third-level bishop doing stupid things."

"As for fear of them taking action in secret, it is even more impossible. Once something happens to you, the church will be the most suspicious. This is not a court trial, and there is no need for any evidence. Once the people think that it is manipulated by the church, they can't explain it clearly and can only bear a dark and despicable reputation. Hehe, things can be done, but bad reputation must not be blamed. Otherwise, if other forces are fueling the fire, a storm may be set off. At that time, it will not only be the district church of the Steam Capital that will be affected. Although those believers are rigid, they are not stupid and cannot do such a thing that is not worth the loss. Not only will they not attack behind the scenes, they will also pray desperately, hoping that you will not encounter danger in an unknown way."

"I understand." The crow nodded vigorously and said seriously, "So what you mean is to suggest that I cooperate with them to turn bad things into good things and achieve a fair and selfless conversation in the church."

"Although I don't want to see the church be blessed in disguise, I still disdain to lie on such things. Yes, no longer prosecuting this matter will only benefit you but not harm you. Is it right, Carson?"

Carson closed his mouth tightly, and he could see through the transparent face armor that he blushed a little, but he finally nodded.

"Okay, the people in our Source and Energy Capital, like you, also like to reason. Since the misunderstanding has been resolved and we are not responsible at all, it is appropriate to cooperate with you to reduce the impact." The crow said with a generous look. "However, although I believe Mr. Nicholas' analysis, I still hope to get your promise. Can you really guarantee that we will not be attacked by the church in the future?"

"I can't guarantee other parishes, but in the Path and Inside the Steam Capital, I can guarantee your safety."
