It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 613 The Romantic Spy Lovy Brook

Ah Hu, Lily, and Belle arrived at the city wall almost immediately.

Before them appeared a massive war chariot, and a giant magic cannon mounted on it in sections, with a barrel length exceeding fifteen meters.

“Ancient magical weapon?!” Belle immediately thought of her experience in the City of No Crown.

“No…it hasn’t come to that yet,” Attana, who was always by her side, looked down at the city wall. “It should be a magical technology similar to the main cannon of the Wings of the Sky.”

It's still incredible.

Ship-mounted magic cannons are not something just anyone can wield, and this cannon is even more imposing and luxurious. Although it doesn't have the same enhancements as the ship spirit Fimi, the loud bang just now came from it, causing rocks to fall from the surrounding valley.

Witnessing this scene, especially in the pouring rain, makes one appreciate just how powerful magical techniques can be.

However, Attana was worried about something else.

"Go and fetch Philica and Chloe to the city wall," she instructed the messenger. "Also, use the portal to report the situation to White Harbor and tell them to be on high alert."

The heavy rain seemed endless.

While the valley's terrain is advantageous for defense, it is also situated on a gradient structure with a lower inner slope and a higher outer slope. If the rain were to stop and continue for an unknown period, the entire valley could be submerged once the groundwater rises.

After giving her instructions, she glanced again at the army formation in the rain below the city.

If that's all the enemy intended, then it's actually a relief.

……

Baigang Town.

The rain was so heavy that it obscured the road. Marin stood under the awning and looked back at the assembled team members.

“This should be the signal for us to take action,” he said.

This morning, he was informed that there would be a situation and that they should be prepared.

The unnaturally heavy rain before our eyes is clearly a signal.

At this moment, Rowe, whom he had sent out to scout, returned from the rain. As he entered the room, he took off his cloak and shook off the rainwater, making it look as if he had been scooped out of the water.

"How is it?" Marin asked.

"Most residents gathered in nearby shelters from the rain, and several taverns put up rain barriers at their doors. In the west district, the water was flowing down the street. The situation at the church in the east was unclear, but given its high elevation, it shouldn't be affected much. However, the roads up and down the mountain would probably become very difficult to navigate."

Marin nodded.

"What about the knights in the city?"

“They’re all still on the city wall,” Rowe said, straightening himself up and going to warm himself by the fire in the hall. “They’re all soaked to the bone.”

Marin and the others also arrived at the hall. They were satisfied that Dali had been able to find out such detailed information, and after nodding, they looked at each other.

"So, what's the next step?"

Since they were given information in advance, it's clear they hoped the other side would do something about it.

Marin thought for a moment and said, "The people in town are trapped by the rain, but the knights are still guarding the city walls. It's impossible for them to do anything to the city gates."

He then looked at the crowd.

“We’ll go to the underground waterways and try to block the channels through which the water flows. That way, the whole town will be submerged in water before long.”

Seeing that no one objected, Marin glanced at Rowe again.

"Dali, what are your thoughts?"

“I have no objection, you’re the boss,” Luo Wei waved his hand, “but I suggest we send someone to the tavern to spread the word that the rain was cast by the Fifth Princess to fight the enemy.”

Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

They only realized it afterward.

"Brilliant!" Marin's eyes lit up. "This way, we can blame the disaster on the Fifth Princess. Even if it's to fight the enemy, the people will inevitably complain, and our operation will be safer."

"Just don't forget what you promised," Luo Wei said coldly.

“How could I forget?” Marin tossed him a Sen coin. “This is a personal gift from me. After this is done, I will praise your achievements highly. Since I have made a promise, I will never go back on my word regarding the strength and status I have promised you.”

In fact, everyone had already received their pay as a reward, and Marin even bought Rowe a new staff as an extra gift.

They are quite generous.

Rowe twirled the Sen coin between his fingers and put it in his pocket. Then he sent Minnie to inform the Knights that they should act after dusk.

He then followed the group to the underground waterway to use magic to seal the drainage outlets. After the plan succeeded, the Knights cleared the entire underground waterway that very night, making it as clear as it could possibly be.

The next day.

Luo Wei braved the heavy rain to arrive at the Adventurers' Guild, just in time to overhear two people at the counter discussing this matter.

"I heard that the Fifth Princess caused this heavy rain, is that true?" Qi Luli asked.

“Well… I think that’s probably unlikely,” Miss Mary, the receptionist, said awkwardly, having already seen Rowe enter.

"Why is it impossible? No matter how you look at it, the Fifth Princess..."

Just as Cirulli was about to continue, she followed Miss Mary's gaze and saw Lovi there, so she immediately swallowed her words.

This person is very likely the Fifth Princess's spy.

“Dali…” Miss Mary smiled, resting her cheek on her hand, “What brings you to the guild today?”

"I'm here to submit my request."

As he spoke, Luo Wei slapped the Divine Punishment Knight's commission form from his pocket onto the counter.

Cirrus glanced at it without showing any emotion. A Divine Punishment Knight Bishop? Although it's stamped with our guild's sealing wax, would our guild have such a request?

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to actually complete it!" Miss Mary couldn't hide her joy and quickly took out the commission registration from under the counter. "Based on your achievements, you will be promoted to E-level. Please wait a moment for the reward; I'll go collect it now."

"What?" Kiruri exclaimed involuntarily.

Rank E?! Isn't that the same rank as her? It took her three months to reach that rank!
Lowe glanced at her, and she quickly turned away.

Anyway, it must have been those people who helped him complete it... Using such tricks only makes people look down on him, Dali... I can't believe I'm in the same guild as someone like that.

Meanwhile, Rowe had already seen the order form lying on her side, which clearly stated: "Drive away the sleep demons around the town."

Ah.

This was a task perfectly suited for female adventurers. A short while later, Mary returned with the reward, which included not only a bulging little bag of money but also several magical items, making Cirrus's eyes widen in surprise.

"Magic Ring", "Wind Summoning Ring", etc... is that a bottle of "Holy Drips"??

It is said that the essence of high-level magic is concentrated in the droplets, which can heal wounds in a very short time. She dreams of having a bottle.

Lovi stuffed the props and money pouch into his pocket right in front of her, and Qiluli immediately looked away, disdainful of being associated with him.

Anyway, there probably wasn't much money in that bag... just a few Forest Coins and a bunch of Wood Coins. She had never seen a quest in the guild that required more than Forest Coins.

Luo Wei felt the heavy weight in his arms.

It seems the Divine Punishment Knight is quite valuable. This price is likely due to extra funding from the Sun God Cult. As for the low-level magical items given to him, it's probably because they realized he was doing infiltration work, saving him the trouble of going to the ruins to farm these junk items.

"What other requests do you have lately?" Luo Wei asked.

“Yes,” Mary said, pulling out her work log as she understood his meaning. “The recent heavy rains seem to have covered a wide area, affecting not only White Harbor and Horse Stable, but also Morningstar County.”

“Miss Mary…!” Kiruri suddenly exclaimed.

She desperately wanted to warn him that he might be a war spy, and how could she just tell him the guild's information like that? But she froze in place.

Both of them looked at her at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Miss Mary asked.

"N-nothing." Only then did Cirrus remember that the other person was also a member of the guild. She made up her mind to tell Mary her guess later, picked up her request form and walked away.

Meanwhile, what did Rowe see outside the guild?

He immediately set off and walked over to Qiluli, asking her, "What did I do to offend you?"

Ciruri looked at him with a puzzled expression, then felt a surge of unease.

"Don't you know what you've done?"

"Can't you give me a chance to explain?" Luo Wei asked as he walked away.

"I don't want to hear your explanation, that's it!"

She left the guild and headed to the side in the rain, leaving Luo Wei standing alone at the entrance, staring blankly in that direction. Then, looking somewhat forlorn, she entered the guild gate.

Marin, who happened to be across the street, overheard their entire conversation.

"Oh, it was her." He lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

He seemed to understand everything instantly, and who he wanted to meet that night.

Then there's nothing to worry about. People who have attachments in town are the least likely to betray you, especially since he now knows who the other person is.

"I didn't expect this kid to be such a romantic."

Marin shook his head, smiled, and went to the other side of the street.

Meanwhile, Luo Wei returned to the guild counter.

"What was that just now...?" Mary asked, staring blankly at the scene behind the counter.

“Don’t worry about it,” Rowe poured himself a glass of lemonade, pulled up a chair and sat down at the counter, saying, “Don’t you think there’s something wrong with the Divine Punishment Knight’s request?”

"You mean..."

From Miss Mary's expression, it was clear she had some reservations about the request, which was why she hadn't posted it in the request section. Requests of this caliber were usually entrusted to exceptionally skilled adventurers, who would also investigate the truth as an added bonus.

Luo Wei rinsed his mouth and slowly swallowed the glass of soda.

“It’s true that the Divine Punishment Knight was an apostate and was secretly researching death rituals,” he said, emphasizing each word. “But if that weren’t the case, he might have died in the church before he could escape.”

"You mean... he escaped death and ended up in White Harbor, not because he apostasy?"

“Hmm.” Luo Wei placed the other person’s diary on the counter.

Just as Miss Mary reached out to flip it over, Lowe pressed his hand down on it, the meaning of which was self-evident.

“Um…” Mary withdrew her hand and said worriedly, “I don’t know much, but I heard that the Church of the Sun God has expressed dissatisfaction with the higher-ups because of the war between the Temple of War and the Temple of Gods.”

"As you know, the Temple of the Yellow Sun and the Temple of the War God are allies of the Light Faction. Usually, the Temple of the War God handles these kinds of matters, but this time, some people in the Temple of the War God seem to want the Temple of the Sun God's assistance as well, while the Sun God Cult, as a folk religious organization, was not favored, which led to a disagreement between the two sides."

Lo Wei nodded.

Is this Xiaoguang Saintess's fault?

It's likely that the Sun God Cult wasn't overlooked, but rather that the Yellow Sun faction itself was divided on the matter of assisting the Temple of War in its expedition. That's why Elida and Nege joined forces to attack Senkamanda, hoping to prove themselves through achievements and gain the support of the pro-war faction on the Yellow Sun side.

The internal situation became even more chaotic after Elida withdrew her troops from Senkamanda.

The Sun God Cult may have used some unconventional methods, and judging from their posture, they are clearly aiming to become an independent force. If they want to break away and join the army of the Holy Maiden of Dawn, then they may do something as a stepping stone, since I heard that the Fifth Princess of Lion Garden and the Second Prince are currently at war. The various forces on the continent are probably already aware that the Fifth Princess has a Holy Maiden under her command.

At this time, the military strength here is vastly different, making it a place where it is worthwhile to wage war.

Hehe...and here comes the fish to bite the hook.

Seeing his sudden, sinister smile, Miss Mary instinctively shivered and said in a hesitant, low voice, "Love, um... could it be that this rain..."

“I’m not so sure,” Rowe shook his head and said, “but it seems that this Divine Punishment Knight’s diary also contains some backup plan for dealing with the entire Sun God Cult.”

"What? Then you..."

“Torturous interrogation is probably useless,” Lowe said soberly. “Since it’s something that can deal with the Sun God Cult, it’s probably something even he himself can’t control, otherwise why would he run away?”

Miss Mary nodded in realization and looked at the heavy rain outside the guild.

In this atmosphere, it feels like something very unexpected is about to happen.

……

At this moment, in Lucas's military camp.

A portly man dressed in gold robes and a white gown entered the tent. A pale gold sun pattern was tattooed on the back of his white gown. He looked at the second prince of the Lion Garden, who was holding a military meeting.

Behind the man were several Divine Punishment Knights, also in golden armor and white robes, but they appeared to be of significantly lower status.

Cardinal Archbishop Tulas Horis of the Church of the Sun, holding his belly and raising his head, said:

"How is it, Your Highness, Second Prince—"

Are you satisfied with the timely rain we delivered?
