Don't call me evil god

Chapter 482 A world with surging undercurrents

After sharing the approximate location of the tapestry shop, Reina held her breath and continued to listen attentively to the conversation between the two.

The effects of illusion magic are not omnipotent.

All translations are based on the premise that she can hear clearly enough.

The two continued to chatter in Dwarven, completely unaware that there was an eavesdropper in the store.

"Long time no see, how was your experience traveling so far away?"

"Don't mention it, it's terrible!"

"Everything was going smoothly. It was indeed a divine weapon brought by the envoy. The human countess did not even realize that her mind was under our guidance, influence and control."

"In the end, a bunch of lunatics showed up out of nowhere and messed up all our plans!"

"The transformation ritual was interrupted at the final stage!"

"The precious records were completely ruined! The transformation heart was also forced to give up! Years of hard work were almost in vain!"

“I don’t know when I’ll have another opportunity like this!”

Reina felt her heart pounding.

What kind of luck is this?
I originally thought that I would have to find a way to get into the second floor so that I could find the information corresponding to those black-robed dwarves based on the clan cards.

Unexpectedly, I found the real culprit on the third floor.

What the other party was talking about should be something that happened not long ago in Ceylon!

Then the young dwarf who was followed by Lena all the way must be one of the group of black-robed men who caused Ceylon's eternal night!
And he obviously knew more.

Just a few words of casual conversation can reveal a huge amount of information.

For example - according to him, all the dangerous attempts made by the Countess of Ceylon for her deceased husband, and even her final desperate move, might not have been her original intention.

Her mind was controlled by these dwarves? !
This was the first time Reina had heard of such a terrifying ability.

Plus the following string of information.

If we start from the very beginning, more than a decade ago, the Countess's initial attempt was guided and controlled by these dwarves.

That means that they spent more than ten years purposefully, systematically and organizedly planning a conspiracy that covered the entire Ceylon Territory.

Because the final conclusion of this conspiracy, or the part where the fruits were reaped, was interrupted by the seekers of knowledge who intervened halfway and directly overturned the table.

So Reina had no way of knowing what would happen to Ceylon if all their plans came to fruition.

But the eternal night in the sky and the monsters everywhere in the precursor stage alone are already a huge danger and disaster.

And what surprised Reina even more was:

The dwarves in front of us are not even the real leaders. There are so-called "envoys" behind them who are guiding their actions.

This news made Lena's scalp tingle.

It was like a ghost.

Before she believed in the God of Knowledge, the biggest danger she encountered in her ordinary life in Green Harbor was being harassed by a gang in the downtown area, and her father's financial turnover was limited and he was owed a large sum of money.

In Reina's perception, the world at that time seemed very safe!
Although there are evil gods, monsters, and some cultists who are only afraid of chaos in the world.

But there are also the God of Light, professionals, and powerful and righteous Crusaders who protect people.

What about looking back now?

Reina was so embarrassed for her naive self back then.

Her position was too low and she saw too little, so many things were obscured by what others told her or the stories she heard.

This world is clearly not safe at all!
There are huge dangers wherever you go!
The Cult of the Light is often unreliable;

Crusaders often fail to act in a timely manner;

Monsters are everywhere, and you can’t kill them all;

The cultists' plots were more dangerous than the last. They were able to quietly operate and weave for more than a decade in the safe interior of the Kingdom of Reyak, brewing a huge conspiracy that would at least affect the entire earldom. Before the conspiracy finally exploded, no one even noticed any signs.

If it weren't for the guidance of the God of Knowledge, Lena wouldn't dare to imagine how this disaster would end.

Beneath the appearance of safety, there is an extremely fierce undercurrent surging.

……

I wanted to continue listening to the two dwarves' conversation to see if they could reveal more useful information.

Unfortunately, the dwarf dressed as a shop assistant looked at the pocket watch on the table and reminded:
"The time has come, the ceremony will begin soon."

"Hurry up and get in, don't miss it, otherwise you will have to wait another week."

The conversation between the two ended.

Reina noticed that the sinister young dwarf was walking behind the counter of the tapestry shop.

Then there was the sound of something being pulled open.

Then came the sound of heavy footsteps on stone steps.

Finally, there was the sound of something being closed.

"Secret door?" Reina subconsciously guessed, thinking of the secret room in the Bloody Roulette underground casino in Green Harbor.

He turned off the light curtain of the illusion magic, waited until the nearby shadow energy calmed down, and then concentrated again and entered the [Stealth] state.

Reina carefully touched the counter of the tapestry shop.

The dwarf dressed as a shop assistant was fiddling with a few purple gemstones of unknown material in his hands out of boredom.

There was no hidden mechanism as Reina had imagined.

Behind the counter, on the ground, was an ordinary-looking wooden trapdoor.

There wasn't even a lock on it, just a copper handle embedded inside for pulling to open it.

Reina raised an eyebrow.

He did not act rashly. He carefully observed the bored dwarf clerk for a while while stealthily, and took note of his facial features and appearance.

Then he quietly walked away from the counter, returned to the passage leading to the tapestry shop, and left the store.

This clerk's stay here obviously also has the responsibility of guarding the trapdoor.

Although Lena felt that she was confident that she could kill the opponent instantly by slitting his throat with a burst attack belonging to a Tier 3 stealth warrior before the opponent had time to react.

But doing so would really be alerting the enemy.

A guard died inexplicably. As long as those people in black robes are not fools, they will quickly realize that someone has discovered this place.

Reina had already observed it.

Apart from the trapdoor, there was no other visible access to the tapestry shop.

The only way in and out is through the cave passage.

She has enough patience.

According to what the two dwarves revealed in their conversation.

The sinister young dwarf came here to take part in a ritual.

Normally, after attending the ceremony, he would definitely leave.

Since it is a ceremony, there should be more than one participant!
Maybe she can find more clues about the man in black robe!

However... things didn't go as smoothly as Reina imagined.

Even after Pete and the others carefully came over to join her, Reina still didn't see anyone leave the hidden tapestry shop!
