The bishop is unfathomable.

Chapter 95 Finding a way to ruin their plans

"A letter from the priest?"

Upon hearing Barney's words, Levi immediately became alert.

To be honest, although he had long anticipated this day, why would the bishops of the Invisible Surge faction send a letter at this time?

"Yes. It's a letter sent by His Excellency the Bishop."

"We haven't opened the letter yet. But according to the messenger, His Excellency the Bishop will arrive in Beltoron within the next week."

He wants to see you.

Li Wei took a deep breath and then continued, "Have you revealed anything about my situation?"

"I did. Afterwards, the messenger seemed to have used some kind of ritual to confirm it, and then said he would report to the bishop."

"I understand. Let's ignore them for now and focus on managing gang affairs."

Li Wei answered calmly, then added, "Oh, right, tie the letter to the falcon's talons."

"Yes."

Half an hour later, Li Wei received the letter from the bishop that Ji had brought back.

Upon receiving the envelope, Li Wei realized that there were traces of ritual on this seemingly ordinary envelope.

No wonder Barney and the others didn't dare open the letter; they were afraid of triggering the ritual on the envelope, right?

So, should I dismantle it or not?

Li Wei began examining the ritualistic traces on the envelope.

He quickly discovered the path of energy flow, which seemed somewhat familiar.

Without thinking too much, Li Wei took a deep breath and opened the envelope.

The ritual array, shimmering with a deep blue light, flickered briefly before falling completely silent.

Nothing happened.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and emptied the letter from the envelope.

The letter paper was permeated with a lingering, faint scent of pine resin.

The contents of the letter are quite intriguing.

"Since you were able to open the envelope and see the letter, it means those ridiculous rumors are false."

"There are no imposters posing as the Faceless Ones. They are just my most capable subordinates."

"However, it seems that the Son of Dust has caused you quite a bit of trouble, otherwise you wouldn't have stayed there."

"Your information is also very useful. The Grail of Canamagos, it would be a waste to leave such a good thing to those madmen, the Sons of the Sands."

"But as far as I know, they took the Holy Grail back themselves a long time ago, thanks to that damned old bald man's tricks."

"The expo that's about to start is very complicated, and it's not something you can get involved in on your own."

"Until your strength is restored, you should just play the role of the forbidden book administrator."

"But since Barris didn't say anything, maybe you really are the so-called chosen one?"

"Those charlatans at the Silent Sanctuary are always like that; they don't speak like human beings."

"Actually, I originally wanted you to return to headquarters immediately, since your unauthorized actions this time were indeed against the rules."

"But considering that the Sons of Dust and their group have ulterior motives, and are even willing to use an instrument like the Holy Grail just to achieve their goal."

"For this, they were even willing to put Agner on the table as a sacrificeable bargaining chip—"

"Tsk tsk, since that's the case, I can't let him have his way."

"We'll discuss the specifics when we meet."

"Caldosa".

After reading the letter, Li Weimo placed it on the table and silently pondered what kind of person this invisible bishop really was.

It's clear from the letter that the ritual array was indeed a probing tactic.

At least when he read the contents of the letter, the bishop never trusted his own identity.

Cautious and suspicious.

Moreover, unlike his own subordinates, since he said that the Faceless One was his capable subordinate, he might know the Faceless One better, which would make it difficult for him to pretend otherwise.

However, one could attribute it to the role one played and the injuries one sustained.

After all, his own strength and the incomplete bishop's mark could be excused by his injury.

But his purpose is what's most important.

This bishop was interested in the Holy Grail, yet he didn't seem to care much about it.

He just didn't want the son of the sandstorm to have an easy life.

Moreover, it's clear that the esoteric sects already knew the whereabouts of the Holy Grail and that it had never been handed over.

In other words, the cult may have planted spies within the legion, or even in this valley town.

As for the rest.

Li Wei couldn't glean any further clues from this letter for the time being.

But the fact that Li Wei has seen this letter means that he has passed the first hurdle.

His identity has been preliminarily confirmed.

The rest depends on whether you can use your persuasive skills to get by.

Felicia then asked, "Whose letter is this? So secretive, requiring your familiar to retrieve it, and even using a ritual to encrypt it?"

"A tantric bishop. Cardoza. Are you familiar with him?"

"Of course I know her," Felicia nodded. "In fact, you've never even heard of her."

"This is the infamous female madwoman known throughout the Northern Continent."

Li Wei: "?"

"A crazy woman?"

Felicia nodded: "That's right, you really don't know? Aren't you supposed to be someone who travels all over the country? You don't even know someone like this?"

Li Wei complained, "It's probably because I've been traveling too far north and too far south, and I've been away from the civilized world for a long time."

"But the bishop of the invisible surge is actually a woman?"

Felicia looked at Levi with some shock: "Didn't you do any basic research before you planned to impersonate the bishop?"

"Although the identities of many esoteric bishops cannot be confirmed or verified."

"But the identities of the bishops in Tantric Buddhism can be found in the newspapers and books published by the Church of Radiant Light."

"You don't even need to spend extra money to buy it; the church newspaper always has a section printing the bishop's picture and name."

Li Wei sighed: "I only read the Imperial Daily and the Royal Society's Proceedings."

Felicia was speechless and could only give Li Wei some basic science education.

Regarding Cardoza, although she was a woman and one of the bishops of Tantric Buddhism.

However, she was not enthusiastic about bloody and tragic sacrifices.

She prefers—mischievous pranks.

For example, you could transform a spoiled brat who enjoys bullying respectable women into a respectable woman, then send her to the bed of the spoiled brat's father and give them a little magic potion to enhance their relationship.

For example, she might detonate a city's sewers and septic tanks, forcing everyone to swim in the sewage while she stands on a high place to take pictures.

For example, she could lead an attack on a small town or city, then enact her own laws and regulations, and drag out all the nobles who were leading the protests to feed the dogs—alive and alive.

There were also raids on nursing homes; bombing schools during holidays; placing an idol of the Lord of Ravens in the Church of Radiant Light; raiding dwarf settlements at night and cutting off all the dwarves' beards, and so on and so forth—

Overall, he's not a good person, but he's not a very bad person either, and he's definitely not a normal person.

At least Li Wei felt that having such a crazy woman as his boss meant he was set for life.

This woman's art style doesn't quite fit the tone of this world.
