Don't call me evil god

Chapter 592 Acting
The female spy who called herself "Index Finger" Evelyn was quite capable. She had no intention of explaining anything to Pete and the others and went straight to the point.

"Time is limited. The court ceremonial officer will arrive here in about an hour, so let's make it short."

"His Majesty the King hopes that you will cooperate with him in a play... Don't interrupt, just listen to me first."

Evelyn noticed that Pete was about to ask, so she emphasized immediately.

Pete had to suppress his doubts temporarily.

"His Majesty has seen the contributions that Mr. Chinar and Ms. Warren have made to the Kingdom of Reyak, and he values ​​you very much."

"It is reasonable that you two should at least be awarded the title of Viscount."

Pete felt warm in his heart.

Just the words "His Majesty values ​​you very much" greatly encouraged him.

I am no longer an unknown person, no longer a country bumpkin from the border, but a person who will be valued and remembered by the king!
"However, His Majesty needs you to firmly refuse the reward he promised you when he met you. This is very important."

"Um?!"

Pete almost didn't react.

He thought he had heard wrongly.

But Evelin said very seriously that they had not heard it wrong, and she had not said it wrong.

"You can decide on your own reasons for rejection. If you feel you are not ready yet or you plan to travel around the mainland for a while, you can use any excuse as long as it is appropriate."

"His Majesty will sincerely invite you to stay in the capital for a while. You will need to agree to this with reluctance."

"Next, His Majesty will find a suitable time to personally go to the inn where you are staying temporarily, using the excuse of persuading you."

"The hotel has been prepared for you. The Blue Rose Inn in the Starosh Mage District has three empty rooms waiting for you to check in."

"Please pay attention. Once the court officials arrive, the news that you have been personally brought to the capital by Archmage Alcandas will be released."

"Please consider your words and actions carefully. There are many eyes in the dark of the capital silently watching you. We are having a conversation now. Do not bring it up anywhere else except here and in the room of the Blue Rose Hotel."

"That's all I need your cooperation on. Is there anything you don't understand?"

Pete opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Don't understand something?

That's too much!
There was nothing he didn't understand!
Pete had been in a state of near-bewilderment since Evelyn showed up.

It was agreed that the king would accept rewards and honors when he came here?

But the result was that he was asked to actively reject the king's offer of enthronement and put on a show!

Pete tried hard to process what he had heard.

Then I realized the most critical issue

"Acting? Who are we doing this for?!"

Since it is a performance, there must be an audience.

Evelin's eyes revealed a look of approval: "Not bad, you are worthy of being someone His Majesty values. Please try to maintain this sensitivity in the capital. This is very important."

"Your Majesty believes in you, so MI6 is willing to believe in you too."

"I am about to tell you some top-secret information. You are strictly prohibited from revealing it to others."

"Your Majesty has received a warning from the dragon. He suspects that there is a dangerous force hiding in the dark within the kingdom that is plotting something, and they may have already infiltrated the kingdom's top leadership."

"He hopes to use this opportunity of inviting you to allow MI6 to conduct a secret investigation."

"Your Majesty will tell you more details about this matter at the appropriate time. Please be patient."

Pete heard Lancelot's hissing sound next to him.

This was probably the aftereffect of the stress from the battle to defend the Stone Fort.

It was so dangerous that even the king couldn't directly screen out the dangerous forces. Not to mention Lancelot, even Pete had a strong sense of déjà vu. It sounded very similar to the situation of the Supreme Truth Church in Stone Castle!
Secretly planning to make a big news;
Infiltrate the upper echelons of power silently;

Once the situation breaks out, it will probably be a devastating disaster!
Pete was a little nervous.

Ever since believing in the god of knowledge, Nowen, the peaceful and tranquil life I once had is completely gone.

Pete felt like he was living in dire straits every day.

Either there are monsters here or there are evil gods being summoned over there.

They seemed to be sucked into a huge whirlpool, and it was difficult to escape once they were in it.

“Why did you ask us to act out this scene?”

It was Miranda who asked the question.

"Because a powerful dragon recommended you to His Majesty the King."

"He believes that you are the most suitable candidates destined by fate. When you enter the palace, the evil lurking in the dark will definitely react."

"Moreover, based on your past experience, you have disrupted the cultists' plots many times, which proves that you are capable enough."

Pete smacked his lips.

He suddenly realized why King Kenreddin had named him and Miranda.

If it was a dragon, or in other words, Bahamut who made the recommendation, then it would make sense.

When they were in Green Harbor, the elusive Bahamut appeared in front of Pete for the second time because of Miranda Warren.

Bahamut once said that Miranda Warren had a destiny of her own.

The appearance of the God of Knowledge disrupted the predetermined future and made her fate unknown.

Even Miranda herself didn't know about these things.

Now it seems that they have changed a lot of things in this time.

But some things that are destined to happen will not stagnate because of Miranda's absence, and may even become more confusing.

As for Lancelot, he was specifically recommended.

He must have his own reasons.

This trip to the capital city seems glamorous on the surface, but in the darkness where the sun doesn't shine, a turbulent undercurrent is surging.

……

"Index Finger" Evelyn glanced at the time displayed on the grandfather clock.

"I will leave here in five minutes. No one except His Majesty, the Archmage, and the three of you will know that I have been here."

"Please keep this secret. This represents the trust that His Majesty the King has in you."

"If you have any more questions, hurry up."

Pete hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask:
"We have several companions who have lived and died together and are absolutely trustworthy. Even they cannot reveal these things, right?"

Evelyn pondered for a moment.

He shook his head slowly and said:
"I'm sorry, this is a serious matter. I can't make a judgment on this matter."

"When the time is right, please ask His Majesty in person and let him make the decision."

"Before that, please pretend to be ignorant as much as possible. You should pretend to be a hero who has made great contributions to the kingdom and is about to be rewarded."
