Don't call me evil god

Chapter 637 Three-line Operation
There is no need to find a way to get on Prince Laflamme's pirate ship.

When His Highness heard that there was finally an opportunity for him to show his skills, he clamored to come and could not be driven away.

With Fradin's support, not only did Pete and his companions have a way to escape from Monger Manor, but the other companions who did not receive an invitation also had a reason to enter the manor.

Normally, they couldn’t get in without an invitation;
Fradin's identity is different.

He is the crown prince.

"I have a very good relationship with Grandpa Rune! It's just an invitation, it's nothing!"

This is what Fradin promised to Lena, Gale, Brandon, and Dolan:
"Grandpa Rune said that I can go there to play whenever I want, and I can bring any friends with me!"

"There's an extremely great monster arena over there, with a lot of monsters imprisoned in it. I heard that Grandpa Rune paid the mercenaries to capture and transport them here with great effort!"

"There are regular fights between gladiators and monsters over there, and the battle scenes are really exciting!"

"Since we are inviting you guys to a banquet, there will definitely be gladiatorial performances!"

As Fradin spoke, he gestured with his hands.

"It doesn't matter if the manor guards don't know you, they all know me!"

"As long as you follow me, I can take you around and have a look around!"

Don't even say it.

Prince Fladin's words suddenly opened up Pete's mind.

Because Pete realized a key problem.

In a place like Starosh, the royal capital, is strength important?

Important, but also unimportant.

Having strength can earn you more favorable treatment, but you cannot easily use this strength that represents violence.

Strength can affect a person's status and identity, but it is not the decisive factor.

For example, Prince Fradin.

If Rune Monger gave Fradin 1000 gold coins, no one would think it was a big deal.

The latter's identity is a prince!
The future heir to the kingdom!

In theory,
The future of this kingdom belongs to him.

What's a mere 1000 gold coins?

This is the difference brought about by different identities and status.

If he abandons the moral bottom line and breaks the ethical limit, Pete realizes that in the royal capital, strength is not the only means to solve problems.

Identity is also a resource that can be utilized!
He can actually use many crooked methods.

For example, they might simply commit suicide, fake a scene of being assassinated, and then leave some pointing clues behind, using dirty tricks of framing others.

They are now heroes of the kingdom.

The kingdom's hero was assassinated. Is this a big enough matter?

It is enough to instantly detonate public opinion and force the framed person into a dilemma.

This is entry-level and does not require much technical knowledge.

There are even more sinister tricks.

First commit suicide and return to the Misty Valley. Now with the [Shaping Core] blessing the resurrection magic, they can directly replace themselves with a new body!
Recreate a body for yourself in the image of Prince Fradin!
Although this method can only change the appearance, the inner soul cannot be modified at the same time, so it will be detected by some magic, divine arts, and devil's spells.

But it's definitely enough to fool ordinary people!
Several ideas for making trouble flashed through Pete's mind. Was his identity not appealing enough?
Would it be enough to replace it with Prince Fradin?
If that's not enough.

Then let's change it to His Majesty Kenreddin!
As long as the conditions are right and at a special moment, this trick will be very useful!
Realizing the key, Pete couldn't help but take a deep breath.

When Stone Castle just "unlocked" the [Shaping Core], the believers quickly figured out the effect of this thing, but they didn't think about it that much;
The most they want is to slightly modify their appearance to make themselves more beautiful, have a better figure or be more muscular;
A few people with weird aesthetic tastes would dress themselves up to the point where they would scare children to tears when they walked on the street, and walk around the city with an "evil god face" that everyone hated. They were soon banned from public places, and "knowledge-seeking believers whose appearance and body shape exceed the aesthetic limit are prohibited from showing their image in public."

At that time, Pete also thought that the purpose of this thing was to make people look better.

Now think about it from a different perspective. Once your mind is opened, the situation will be different!

If used properly, this is not a "shaping" core, it is clearly an "impersonation" core!

Pete felt like he had found the key to untangling the complicated situation in the royal capital!

But he still needs some time and to confirm some things before he can sort out his plan!

……

That day, in the evening.

Pate, Miranda and Lancelot no longer wore the complicated and gorgeous dresses, but changed into simple and plain clothes of their own.

The purpose of their trip was not to attend the banquet, but to politely reject Munger's "goodwill" in person.

The three of them had already come up with the reason in advance.

They say that they did not actually make such a great contribution, and that the achievements that were praised and commended were actually accomplished by them and their companions. This is an achievement of the group, not their own.

So they cannot accept this gold coin, they feel unworthy of it.

Coincidentally, this also fits their "personality" of being hesitant and struggling over whether to accept the commission from the Action Corps!
Kill two birds with one stone.

Prince Fradin didn't have to worry about being discovered when he sneaked out of the palace this time, because he had a legitimate reason:

He's going to Monger Manor!
This is one of the few places near the royal capital where Fradin can move freely without reporting in advance.

Pete and the other two set out first, pretending to be invited to a banquet, and headed straight for Monger Manor, located in the new city of the capital.
Prince Fradin left the Blue Rose Inn early and met Gale, Brandon and Doran not far from the palace.

The three of them are the prince’s new friends this time.

As for Reina, she stepped into [Stealth] and followed behind Prince Fradin, keeping a distance. She would only cooperate with the prince and his entourage and blend in when they entered the manor.

She won't show up unless it's absolutely necessary.

A stalker exposed in the open has almost no deterrent effect, because everyone will be on guard against her;

When the stalker hides in the shadows, she is the sharpest blade.

Reina's goal is different from Pete and Fradin's.

After confirming that Rune Monger is related to the devil and that there is a devil hiding in the dark, Reina, at Raphael's instigation, needs to explore Monger Manor as completely as possible to look for clues related to the devil.

Attack on three fronts, everyone has their own tasks and goals.

This is a battle in which no swords can be seen, but the flashes of swords and sabers are everywhere.

Beneath the surface calm.

The undercurrent is surging!
