The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

The illusory bishop suppressed his anger and quickly typed into the bishop's certificate:

[Originally, I only arranged for Fahim to go to the Kingdom of Landil to frame Dekan, but now I've heard that four bishops have arrived in the Kingdom of Landil. Besides you, Fahim, and Dekan, is there another guy who went there on his own? Could he be the mole we've been looking for?]

After sending the message, the Bishop of Illusion seemed a little tired. He stepped down from the pulpit, sat on a bench, and covered his face.

Their original plan was to first fabricate a charge against Bishop Dekan'an, then have the Church of Resurrection and the forces of the northern kingdoms attack indiscriminately, killing anyone who stood in their way.

After executing Dekan under the banner of justice, even if there was a grievance, the northern kingdoms could completely shirk responsibility and say that it was the Church of Resurrection that did it.

If there were no injustice, the northern kingdoms could gain the credit for killing a bishop and then turn around and bite back at the Kingdom of Norton.

but.

Someone is secretly trying to help Dekan.

That is to say, a traitorous bishop also secretly came to the Kingdom of Landil!

The fact that the number of bishops in the Kingdom of Landil reached three was enough to alarm the Kingdom Federation, causing an unexpected change in the situation for the Resurrected Church and the northern kingdoms!

This disrupted the conspiracy of the Church of Resurrection and the Northern Kingdom to some extent.

This was originally part of the action plan.

To prevent internal spies, the Bishop of Deception was extremely careful not to leak the information to other unrelated bishops.

But no matter how much we planned, we didn't anticipate this.

Clay, with a sudden thought, lived up to his motto: "Speak your mind and keep your word."

Bishop False did indeed remember that Clay had made some harsh remarks at the synod of bishops—

"If Dekan dares to leave the Kingdom of Norton, even if it means risking being targeted by the astrologers, I will still go and cut a hole in Dekan's chest!"

that's it.

Clay became the final straw that broke the psychological defenses of the delusional bishop.

Because of Clay's free rein, the Kingdom of Landil has gathered four bishops.

The Kingdom Federation has successfully activated its highest level of alert.

As a result, they were unable to follow the plan at all.

Not long after.

The news of the Mad Bishop has arrived again from the Bishop's Certificate of the False Bishop:

[Isn't Minos the most suspicious one?]

[I did have my suspicions about her, but I didn't want it to be her because she's too important to us. Besides, His Holiness the Pope reviewed her communications with Dekan and found nothing wrong. Although she may seem cynical, she is indeed a person with principles.]

"Illusory Bishop replied."

The Pope had actually returned, but deliberately did not disable Dekan's chat permissions.

Because the Pope is using a sting operation to enforce the law.

However, according to the Pope's observation, during Dekan and Minos's pointless conversations, they would occasionally only share card-making techniques, but never discuss intelligence about the Church of Resurrection and the Federation of Kingdoms.

On the contrary, it makes Minos seem upright and unafraid of any crooked shadow.

The Mad Bishop sent another message:

"Does that mean I could also be the mole?"

The illusory bishop was speechless for a moment.

Regardless of whether you are an inside man or not, this fatal move of yours is almost the same as being an inside man.

Your stupidity doesn't seem feigned.

"Illusory Bishop replied."

He really wants to curse Clay right now.

He even wanted to beat up Clay to vent his anger.

But Clay doesn't seem like the mole.

This guy doesn't have the intelligence level required to be a spy.

The most important thing now is not internal strife, but figuring out how to handle the problem.

Just as the illusory bishop was about to quell the anger in his heart.

He then saw a message from Clay:

Lend me 5000 gold coins first, or I won't listen to your orders.

Upon seeing this message, the Bishop of Illusion finally couldn't help but tremble.

He suppressed his simmering rage and typed:

[Give me your account information.]

After receiving the bank account information from Clay, the Bishop of Delusion summoned his confidant and instructed him to transfer 5000 gold coins to Clay.

Then.

The illusory bishop sat on a long bench, pressing his brow and muttering to himself as if chanting a mantra:

“Clay, after this is all over, I won’t kill anyone, except you…”

203 Dekan begins to play a grand strategy

In the mansion in the heart of the capital city of the Kingdom of Landil.

After sending the bank account information of the black card he bought from the black market that afternoon to the illusory bishop, Dekan began to wait.

Based on all his previous conversations with the Bishop of Illusion, Dekan has figured out the current situation.

He originally thought it was more likely that the Church of Resurrection had gathered multiple bishops to launch a strong attack on Landil.

In the end, the Church of Resurrection never expected to gather so many cardinals in the Kingdom of Landil, which alarmed the Kingdom Federation.

These guys are more inclined to play dirty tricks than open schemes.

That would make things much easier if we resorted to underhanded tactics.

Dekan's favorite thing is to annoy his enemies.

In addition, Dekan heard a key word during the conversation—Fahim.

Fahim is the name of the corrupt bishop.

This guy's reputation is just as bad as Evans's; he's obsessed with human experimentation, and his results are mostly forbidden spells that damage the human body.

They were constantly hunted down by the Sun God Cult, but also killed many of the Sun God Cult's priests and paladins.

One can imagine why Judith mistook Decan for a follower of the corrupt bishops' lineage and acted so irrationally.

"If it's Fahim who's coming, it'll be a tough fight."

Dekan murmured.

Fahim's class is a mage, and his system is similar to Dekan's [Blood Purification], but the restrictions are different.

The destructive power of the two is also completely different.

However, Dekan never considered confronting any bishop directly.

No bishop was one that Decan had a chance to defeat head-on.

We must use strategy to achieve this.

But for Dekan, villains are easy to deal with.

Their desires are exceptionally obvious, as easy to understand as demons.

Dekan has a way of leading anyone with desires to destruction.

I waited a while longer.

Finally, the illusory bishop sent a message:

[5000 gold coins have been transferred.]

"Nice!"

The most exciting thing tonight was undoubtedly using a black card bought from the black market to successfully swindle 5000 gold coins from the False Bishop!

If I have the chance in the future, I must send a banner to the Bishop of Illusion.

Dekan felt he could take advantage of the situation, so he entered the following into the Bishop's Certificate:

"Can you transfer another 5000 gold coins? If you don't, I won't listen to you, and I won't return the 5000."

After typing it in, Dekan thought for a moment and was a little worried that if he sent it, the Church of the Deceitful might change the action plan to kill Clay first.

That means we can no longer use Clay's account to extract information from the illusory bishop.

So Dekan deleted the message he had just entered but not sent.

I sent the message: 【Okay!】

Then they waited for the Bishop of Illusion to reply.

Dekan couldn't yet determine whether Clay would continue his arrogance or become more polite after receiving the money.

Therefore, it's best to speak as little as possible.

The False Bishop quickly sent out instructions—

Fahim is expected to return to the capital tomorrow. Find a safe base so he can prepare without worry. I will have him contact you; you two should meet up then. Please follow his instructions completely. Is that alright?

Dekan felt that the Bishop of Illusion's writings looked eerily calm.

【no problem.】

Adhering to the principle that too much talk leads to mistakes, Dekan replied to the False Bishop.

After that, I received no further messages.

Dekan turned off the light and put away his bishop's badge.

In the moonlight, only the blue pupils of the dark figure and his white teeth when he smiled stood out in the dim room.
