Don't call me evil god

Chapter 618 Now it’s four bad news

The discussion on establishing an action corps came to a temporary halt and the conflict of interests was eased.

At the lunch that followed, the nobles let Pete and the other two deeply experience what it means to be a true top face-changing artist.

Previously in the throne room, they had argued over the matter of the Action Corps and tried every possible means to obstruct it. They were no different from the merchants in the trade zone who were quarreling over a few copper coins.

Now, one by one, they became as elegant as possible, skillfully following the court etiquette, tasting the appetizers, salads, seafood soup, fried cod, steak, desserts and various drinks carefully prepared by the chef, as well as the coffee and black tea after the meal.

While drinking, he continued to talk enthusiastically with Pete and the others.

Even Lancelot, who was relatively the least sociable among the three, received invitations from a total of 12 nobles during one lunch time, welcoming Lancelot to visit their manors when he was free.

When they learned that Lancelot was still single and had no one he liked, four nobles immediately suggested that they had a girl of similar age to Lancelot in their family, and if the conditions were right, Lancelot could consider trying to get along with her.

After the lunch, Lancelot was stunned by the enthusiasm of the nobles!

This is the power center of the Reyak Kingdom and the most prosperous capital!
Those who could participate in this luncheon had to at least possess the title of Viscount. Most of them were Earls and Marquisates appointed by His Majesty Kenreddin himself, all of them emerging manor nobles.

People like barons, who have the lowest and most ordinary titles, are not even qualified to participate.

Any one of them, if placed in Ceylon, would at least be at the level of Viscount Tostin, and there are only a few of them in the entire Ceylon.

However, these people tried to please Lancelot and praised him with all their might.

"…So we are so popular in the capital? Are the nobles in the capital so friendly?"

After lunch and the entire audience ceremony, when they were finally able to leave the palace, Lancelot touched his big head, his eyes full of surprise.

Petr glanced at Lancelot, who clearly didn't understand the situation yet.

"enthusiasm?"

"That was just a performance they put on for you. If necessary, they can act more realistically, or even just pack up their own daughter and send her to your bed!"

"Today's audience is just the beginning. We will definitely become more popular in the capital and receive better treatment."

“But that’s when the real competition and contest takes place.”

"Ah? Contest? Contest with whom?" Lancelot was still confused.

Pete sighed helplessly:
"It's not clear to explain it to you in just a few words."

"Let's go. I've already sent a message to Reina and the others. Let's go back to the Blue Rose Inn and meet with them to discuss what we should do next."

……

at dusk.

There was a gentle knock on the door of the luxurious mystery suite.

As soon as Pete opened the door, a warm, soft beauty fell into his arms.

"My dear, I miss you so much!"

Reina stood on tiptoe happily and kissed Pete on the face.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for just over two days, for a couple who had just confirmed their relationship and were in love, they definitely didn't want to be separated from each other.

Miranda blushed and led Gail away.

The two of them will not participate in the subsequent discussion and will stay overnight at Miranda's parents' house.

As soon as Brandon came in, he looked at Lancelot and Pete with wide eyes, as if he was looking for something in them.

Lancelot was a little confused: "What's the problem?"

Brandon nodded heavily: "Nonsense! Of course!" "Where is the badge representing your noble status?"

"What title did the king confer on you? Baron? Viscount? He didn't confer you the title of Earl all at once, did he?"

Pete rolled his eyes. "What earl? You think too much."

"I've asked you to meet here for a serious matter, and it's probably going to be very troublesome!"

"Now there is one good news and three bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Brandon was stunned and exclaimed, "Three bad news?!"

"Damn it! You didn't beat up His Majesty during the audience! Do we still have time to leave the capital?"

Pete raised his middle finger to Brandon and said unhappily:

"The first piece of bad news is that before the audience with the king, His Majesty Kenreddin arranged for a spy to meet us in advance. He needs our cooperation in acting out a scene because he suspects that there are hidden believers of the evil god operating in secret near the capital. And it is very likely that, like Stone Castle, they are... or have already infiltrated the upper echelons of the kingdom."

"He wants to use this opportunity to find and catch those guys hiding in the dark."

During lunch, Pete took the opportunity to have a close conversation with the king to confirm this.

He could tell this to his companions, but they had to be companions who would ensure that the secret would not be leaked.

Therefore, Pete did not announce the matter directly to the Temple of Truth.

Brandon and Dolan, who had little presence after coming in, both sucked in a breath of the cold air of the Winter Capital with a hiss.

Their first reaction was to think of the tragic situation in the stone fort.

What if this happened in the royal capital?
Tens of thousands of dwarves died in Stonehold alone;

Dwarves are naturally much stronger than humans!
How many people will die in Wangdu?
Don't even think about it!
"The second bad news," Pete continued, "I'm sorry, but I've already prayed to the Lord and confirmed that the story of the cultists hiding in the capital is true! And... one of them is an old acquaintance of ours."

"The Church of the Supreme Truth."

"The guidance the Lord gave me is that among the evil hidden in the capital, there are traces of the Church of the Supreme Truth, and there are 'a lot' of them!"

Several people's scalps were numb.

They now inexplicably have a feeling that the members of this evil god church are simply model workers among the cultists!

No matter where, as long as there are cultists ready to move or secretly plot, they will most likely show up.

They are always there when the Hui people are eliminating cultists!
An organization that believes in evil gods that has existed for who knows how many years. No one knows how much they have cultivated and laid out on the continent of Plantis over such a long period of time!
Giving his companions some time to absorb the shock of the information, Pete continued to release explosive information:
"The third bad news is that our actions in the capital are likely to encounter many obstacles, because this matter involves the interests of the new nobles. I am afraid that not only will they not support us, but they will also secretly obstruct us."

Just as he was about to explain his speculation, Pete suddenly paused, his eyes wandering for a moment.

Because he received a new instant messenger message.

After reading it, Pete's face turned helpless:

"Noven is here!"

"Bron just sent me the latest clue he got."

"Now... it's four pieces of bad news."
