Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cult Expert
"Doesn't there be a chance at all?"
Hearing Charles' words be so categorical, Jem Watts asked a little unwillingly.
Shaking his head, Charles replied very dryly: "It's true, although my strength is not the top in the world, but it can be regarded as a rare powerhouse, and it can be said to be first-class in any country." When facing Orsaga, even if he had just come and was not familiar with this world, the power in his body was at least hundreds of times that of mine......
And after that shortly after, he was completely disconnected from me, and I could still feel him getting stronger before he was disconnected, or should I say he was recovering? ”
After a moment of silence, Jem Watts said, "You have to find a way, don't you? You and I are not waiting to be killed......
Charles didn't refute anything, but sighed helplessly: "Having said that, there is no chance now. The spells he has placed on us have not yet been lifted, and we don't even have the right to resist now.
In fact, until now, we didn't even know what his purpose was, he didn't pay much attention to us, he didn't care about us at all, he just used us as tools to deal with trivial matters. ”
Looking at his accomplice who was saying frustrating words, Jem Watts involuntarily smashed his mouth, feeling the taste of wine in his mouth slightly bitter, and also feeling a little depressed: "That's why I feel uneasy, I don't know what he's trying to do, but it can't be a good thing, once the result is revealed, it may be a fatal moment." ”
"Alas......"
After another period of silence, Jem Wads, who felt that the meeting between the two was about to turn into a grievance meeting, calmed down, put down the wine glass in his hand, and returned to his usual appearance again, and said to Charles: "Actually, you came just in time, I may have something big happening here soon, and I need someone to help." ”
Charles asked, a little confused, "What can make you feel like you don't have enough manpower?"
Facing the other party's gaze, Jem Watts smiled a little awkwardly and said, "There is credible news that the people of the Crooked Spirit Society are hiding in the royal capital ......."
Hearing the first half of the sentence, the familiar cult organization, Charles, who was still a cult leader not long ago, immediately understood that this matter was not simple, and his expression became solemn, and he silently put down the wine glass in his hand, wanting to swallow the wine in his mouth.
"They want to secretly hold a ritual to summon demons......"
"Poof!!"
As soon as he heard such bad news, the red wine in Charles's mouth immediately diverged and burst out of his nostrils!
It's like a nosebleed that can't be stopped, and expensive clothes are immediately dyed.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jem Watts reluctantly handed over a mouth towel to wipe the other party's mouth.
“...... That's what happened, and I'm very distressed now, and I think that the Duchy of Marton may have to die in my hands. ”
"Hiss~"
It's a possibility, and it's probably not small.
Charles wanted to say the above sentence, but in the end, he only thought about it in his heart, and did not really say it to hit Jem Wads.
Wiping his mouth and hands, Charles asked with some pain, "In that case, don't you have any clues about their hiding place?"
He had just changed his identity, and he didn't want to become an exiled nobleman directly.
The meaning of the words is that he wants to directly clean up the people of the Crooked Spirit Society as soon as possible.
Jem spread his hands and said helplessly: "I want to too, but the key is that even the people of the Crooked Spirit Society are preparing to carry out the summoning ceremony in the royal capital, and the news is that the people of the church are all revealed to me, and the more specific information seems to be not very clear to them, so there are not necessarily powerful people in the royal capital who are covering up for the Crooked Spirit Society, and they are not ordinary magnates."
It's hard for even the royal family to find what those people are hiding.
Because you can never figure out how many dens a powerful family that has been inherited for hundreds of years has accumulated over time!
If there was enough time, it would have been fine, but if there was not enough time, the demons would have been summoned by the time they searched one by one, and by then it would have been too late, so I received a promise from the church to help me after paying some conditions. ”
Charles frowned slightly: "Church, they are not easy to get along with, but they do ...... professional when dealing with cults."
"No way, no matter how difficult it is to get along with it, it is better than the arrival of demons, even if the church overthrows the royal family in the future, when it hangs me, at least it will leave me a whole corpse for the sake of the royal family, and it is estimated that only scum will be left if it is replaced by demons. ”
"Makes sense. ”
After hearing this, Charles immediately felt that it made sense, and he couldn't refute the other party at all.
So he asked, "...... In that case, how do you want me to help you?"
"Just search for their hiding place for me, as for the battle, you don't need to be on the battlefield yet, in the land of the royal capital, as long as you know the specific location, unless the demon descends on the spot, there is absolutely no one who can escape the encirclement and suppression of the Marton royal family. ”
It's hard to say anything in other places, but in the royal capital, Jem Watts is perfectly capable of taking care of any mortal, whether he is a spellcaster or a great knight, and he really poked Lou Zi, and the church that has taken advantage of it always has to help, right?
Charles was a little embarrassed: "But I don't have manpower, how can I search the entire royal capital for you with just a few people now? ”
In this regard, Jem Watts just waved his hand and said with a serious expression:
"No! You're wrong!
No matter how many people there are, they may not be able to find out the problem at this moment, what I need now is something more professional, and you just have that kind of thing!"
Looking at his serious expression, Charles was a little puzzled; What? Do I own that kind of thing?"
"Of course you have!"
"Charr, as a perennial wanted cult organization, they can exist for so long, naturally they are good at hiding and secretive, it is very unrealistic for ordinary people to find them by conventional methods, but you are different!
You are the famous high priest of the Ten Thousand Secret Society, and you have even been able to find only a few traces of them in the more than ten years that you have been hiding from the church.
It can be seen that in the field of 'how to avoid search as a cultist', you are definitely an expert among experts, and a top person who can publish books!!
So we need you now, give full play to your professional expertise, use the 'cult hiding science' within the scope of the royal capital, screen out the areas that you think are most suitable for hiding, and then go up one by one to search." ”
Seeing Jem Watts boasting so much about himself, Charles immediately wanted to give him a thank-you speech: "I, he ......"
But after thinking about it, the other party is his top boss after all, and this identity will have to bother him to take more care of him in the future, and he is really a professional, and he is definitely an authoritative figure in that field, so he forcibly pressed the fragrance in his mouth, and said calmly: "Okay, after a while, bring me the most detailed map of the royal capital and various related construction reports, and I will help you point them all out." ”
The grandmaster of a faction is undoubtedly revealed, and he is obviously extremely confident.
Although he was bent on whitewashing himself before, he almost forgot that he still had this specialty......
Jem Watts just chuckled and nodded:
"Then I'll trouble you, I'll ask my men to prepare maps and materials first. ”
------------
Sitting in the carriage, he looked at Bishop Safi, who had been a little dignified all the way since he left the residence of Crown Prince Jem Woz of the Duchy of Marton.
As a senior cleric of the Church's heresy hunt, Harriga sensed something unusual.
After hesitating for a while, he cautiously asked, "Lord Bishop, is there something wrong?"
Glancing at the other party, Safi shook his head lightly and sighed:
"Yes, yes, yes, but I can't tell what it is, our Crown Prince Jem Watts, there's something to hide from us......"
The people in the carriage were all his henchmen from his diocese, so it didn't hurt to tell them something directly.
"Originally, I just wanted to use the impending arrival of the devil to probe Jem Watts's tone and see if there was any chance to re-install the power of our church, but our crown prince Jem Watts was so cooperative that it was like giving us a favor.
I haven't even had time to tell him a lot of things about the Crooked Soul Society, and explain the stakes clearly. He actually directly agreed to the request of our church to establish a diocese in the Duchy of Marton.
This is really wrong, it is unbelievable for a greedy nobleman!
You must know that in the beginning, in order to expel our forces and stabilize their royal power, they did not hesitate to ask for help from other principalities, and Jem Watts had no reason to destroy the achievements of his ancestors......"
After hearing this, Harriga also felt that something was wrong, but he had been immersed in the great cause of hunting heretics, and he didn't know much about politics, so after thinking about it to no avail, he replied casually: "Maybe it's because he offended the Principality of Yar ruthlessly, and it doesn't have to be an ally if you want to pull an ally?"
In this regard, Safi directly denied: "Impossible, with the relationship between the royal family and the church, even if the Duchy of Marton wants to attract other forces as allies, it will never be the turn of the church under normal circumstances, so he must have something important to hide from us, and the establishment of the diocese is the bait he gave, a bait that I will bite even if I know that something is wrong in it." ”
After speaking, Safi said to another cleric beside him: "I will pass the news to Art, let him bring all the best talents and holy weapons of the heresy hunt when he comes to the kingdom of Marton, I want to see what tricks Jem Watts wants to play with me, since Jem Watts wants us to help him deal with the Crooked Soul Society, then we will let him see the accumulation of thousands of years of the church......"
