Chapter 3405 A Rock And A Hard Place
When the Ecclesiastic Order was broken up, all the different factions acted independently of each other.
Therefore, it didn’t matter whether the North Pavilion existed or not.
But now that everyone was going to band together and take on Levi, the situation was different.
By providing Levi with information, the North Pavilion acted as if they were his eyes.
Therefore, they had to be eliminated to stop the flow of information to Levi.
Doing so would give Gloria more room to maneuver.
She could control the situation by occasionally using Floyd to relay information about the order.
Therefore, the North Pavilion had to be disposed of.
Meanwhile, the North Pavilion had learned that the other major factions had agreed to the reunification.
Standing in front of the Three Sages, Doran asked, “What should we do now? If we don’t participate in the reunification, we would be labeled as traitors. I’m afraid everyone, including the Holy Guild, would attack us because of that. However, if we were to agree to it, we would have to fight Mr. Garrison. Aren’t we then trapped between a rock and a hard place?”
Doran and his companions felt lost due to the impossible predicament they were in. Even the Three Sages shared their sentiments.
Suddenly, a long whistle rang out.
When they heard the sound, the Three Sages broke into smiles.
It turned out to be the three elders of the South Pavilion, who were on the best terms with them.
The Three Sages asked, “My dear friends, how have you been?”
“Don’t even get me started. The two disciples that we have painstakingly groomed have been slaughtered. On top of that, our divine tool, the Tear of Grace, has also been lost.” The three of them sighed.
“Erm…” The Three Sages were stunned.
Doran interrupted immediately, “Elders, actually—”
Before he could explain to them that it had nothing to do with Levi, the Three Sages stopped him.
“Dear old friends, we deeply sympathize with what you have gone through,” the Three Sages remarked.
They were cognizant that Doran was going to tell the elders that Levi was innocent.
You can tell anyone that, but not those from the Ecclesiastic Order, especially the ones who are victims and hate Levi to the core. They will never believe that Levi is innocent.
“My dear friends, please share with us the reason for your visit.”
“I’m sure you have heard about the reunification of the Ecclesiastic Order. We’re here because of that,” the three elders explained.
The Three Sages were stunned by what they heard, as they were surprised that the other factions of the Ecclesiastic Order had yet to treat them as traitors.
This is good news!
Since they were members of the Ecclesiastic Order, they naturally didn’t want to be ostracized.
“Now that we are uniting all the factions, the North Pavilion should set a good example too!” the elders suggested.
Upon reunification of the Ecclesiastic Order, don’t we have to kill Levi together with them?
The members of the North Pavilion were in a dilemma.
When the three elders of the South Pavilion saw the awkward expressions of their hosts, they added with a smile. “Actually, all you need to do is to agree to the reunification. There’s no need for you to do anything else. If you do not want to fight, then so be it. After all, our priority is to unite the order and not send everyone into battle.”
Given that their goal was to keep the North Pavilion on their side, they were willing to make concessions based on the latter’s concerns.
“In that case, we support the reunification of the Ecclesiastic Order,” the Three Sages agreed at once.
“By the way, the Holy Guild will emerge from seclusion tomorrow. Hence, every faction will need to send representatives to greet them and participate in the ceremony. The three of you together with another representative of the North Pavilion will be required to attend,” the three elders explained.
“Don’t worry, we will be there!”
“All right, now that we have notified you, we’ll be going on to notify the others.”
