Don't call me evil god

Chapter 661 Brainstorming

Several things that seemed to have nothing to do with each other.

Centered around Rune Monger.

They are connected in series with each other.

A lot of things suddenly made sense.

If the Gilded Club is used as a disguise, the nobles of the royal capital can legitimately obtain a large amount of gold coins from it every year, which is enough to support them in secretly supporting the Church of the Supreme Truth.

Prince Fradin was completely stunned after hearing this.

Pete and Gale's thoughts jumped too fast, and suddenly came to an area that he was completely unaware of, so that Prince Fradin could not keep up with the pace at all.

"Wait wait wait, wait a moment!"

"I know about the Gilded Club. I've joined it and invested 600 gold in it."

"What does this have to do with cultists?!"

Pete thought for a moment.

Prince Fradin is undoubtedly someone who can be trusted.

They can suspect others and point the finger at the kingdom's richest man, Rune Monger. He might be the evil hidden in the kingdom and might be plotting something in secret.

But Prince Fradin was absolutely clean.

In other words, the royal family is absolutely clean and they are the natural allies of the Church of Knowledge.

Fradin is the crown prince, the chosen heir to this kingdom!

The royal family has nothing better to do than to hang out with cultists?
From any perspective, Pete and his colleagues did not believe that the royal family had any motive to get involved with the cultists.

What do the cultists intend to do?
Whatever they intend to do, it will surely bring devastating damage to the kingdom in the process.

This is completely in conflict with the royal family's position.

Words can deceive;

Behavior can be deceiving;

But the benefits will not.

Only with the Kingdom of Reyak can there be a so-called "royal family".

If the kingdom completely collapsed, the royal family would surely be buried with it.

So from the very beginning, Pete and the others were willing to treat His Majesty Kenreddin and his son, Prince Fradin, as their own people.

Any information about the cultists can be shared with them.

The goals of both parties are the same, both intend to wipe out all the cultists who are causing trouble in the kingdom.

"Your Highness, the situation is like this. When we were in the Stone Fortress..."

Pete and Gail chatted back and forth, with a few comments from Rena and Miranda in between, telling Prince Vladimir how they started from Ceylon Territory, discovered clues about the cultists of the Church of the Supreme Truth, followed the clues all the way to the Stone Fort, found their church base in the Stone Fort, and even the causes and consequences of the Stone Fort defense war. This series of events was quickly sorted out for Prince Vladimir.

Fradin's expression became more and more serious as he listened.

He was reckless in battle, but when it came to matters concerning the cultists, he was not reckless at all. Instead, he was cautious.

He could even immediately draw inferences and think of more possible connections:
"There is a direct underground train connection between Starosh and Stone Castle."

"According to what you said, the people of the Church of the Evil God called Supreme Truth emerged from the Deep Region, and then spent more than ten years slowly infiltrating the Stone Fortress in secret."

"Every month, some dwarves take the underground train to the capital, and a small number of them simply settle in Starosh permanently."

"You say, is there a possibility?"

"The cultists will quietly infiltrate the capital through this channel."

Prince Vladin is quite familiar with the situation of the underground train.

"In the capital, the security check of the train is limited to the goods on it, because there are always some restless goblins who like to use the dwarf trains to transport some contraband. The kingdom prohibits the sale, private storage, possession, and use of those things, but the goblins are daring and always try to take advantage of loopholes to smuggle them secretly."

"But the dwarves are responsible for checking the passengers on the train!" "If there is a problem with the stone fort as a whole, it means that this inspection system is probably ineffective. The cultists can enter the capital through this channel without being checked by the Cult of the Light!"

Pete's eyes narrowed.

Another clue was found.

No wonder some cultists were able to sneak into the capital right under the nose of the Glorious God Cult and remain hidden for a long time.

The latter is easy. If Rune Monger covers them, it will be difficult for them to be discovered.

The former now also has a reasonable breakthrough.

Land, water and air transport, all three routes have procedures for checking people;

The only thing that was not inspected by the royal capital was the underground train that ran back and forth between Stone Castle and Starosh!
"So... the whole process sequence is very clear."

"The heretics of the Church of the Supreme Truth first appeared in the Deep Region. They infiltrated the Stone Fortress and made dangerous attempts there, trying to awaken the Stone Spirit Fertility suppressed deep in the Distorted Wetlands. Later, they sent some people to sneak into the Royal Capital."

"They need to continue to place orders from Green Harbor to purchase the corresponding sacrificial materials."

"The funds came from Rune Monger in the capital of Reyak. He transferred benefits to the nobles through the Gilded Club."

"Then the nobles will find a way to transfer the money to the cultists hiding in the royal capital."

"The cultists transported the gold coins to the Stone Fortress... No, that's not right. They don't need to transport them to the Stone Fortress. I understand!"

Pete sorted out the whole process of events, and halfway through, he suddenly understood.

"It's very troublesome to transport the goods to Stone Castle, and it's completely unnecessary. They have to spend the money they get."

"They can directly entrust the goblins to deliver the gold coins to Green Port!"

"That's what the goblins do. They're very good at smuggling and taking advantage of loopholes. What's more, they're transporting perfectly normal gold!"

"As long as we can find a suitable reason, we can easily transport the gold coins to Green Port, place an order for the materials there, and then ship them directly to Stone Castle."

Gale nodded in agreement.

The process he thought of was basically the same as Pete's.

These things have a clear causal relationship with each other, and the process is coherent.

"Well...I have a question."

Listening to everyone's heated discussion, Dolan, who had been frowning and thinking hard in the front, raised his hand hesitantly and spoke in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Dolan? Don't be shy or nervous. You can speak up if you have any ideas. We are now brainstorming."

Seeing this, Pete encouraged.

Dolan sweated slightly.

How could he not be nervous?

This time the matter involves the royal capital, Stone Fort, Green Port, the king, the richest man, the nobles and other camps and forces, which is extremely complicated.

More than a month ago, he was just a small bard providing entertainment for people in the tavern. He had never seen such a grand scene!

"I just... feel like there's something I can't figure out."

Dolan said cautiously.

"Once the identity of the cultists is exposed, they will surely be sent to the stake and executed, right?"

"Lune Monger, and the nobles of the capital."

"Why on earth would they choose to get involved with the cultists and become part of their evil ways?"
