The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"What did you do to lose so much trust?"

Dekan felt that the data was a bit dangerous.

Their average trust level has dropped to 68; if it falls below 60, mission objective 2 will fail immediately.

Morion sighed:

“I tried to persuade Lenn to change his strategy and stop accepting refugees, otherwise there would be no hope of saving those refugees even with the support of the Chamber of Commerce. I also explained to him from various aspects that it was not feasible to save these refugees without limit. Lenn did not seem angry on the surface, but when I came back, I found that his level of trust had changed.”

He didn't know why any of his words had caused Lenn to lose so much trust.

Although Lenn didn't trust him as much as he trusted Dekan.

However, one should not turn from trust to doubt simply because of a piece of advice.

"Mollion, this isn't your fault. If I were in your shoes, I would have lost trust as well. It's an unavoidable trial and error."

Dekan patted Morion on the shoulder and said:

"Tell me the whole story of your conversation with Len first."

"Ah."

Morion then recounted his entire conversation with Lenn to Decan.

Dekan nodded repeatedly, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

“I think your advice is fine. If I were in your shoes, I would say the same thing... It's not that you said anything wrong.”

"Dekan said in a deep voice."

Since Morion has already gone to conduct the experiment...

Dekan can no longer recklessly squander his trust rating.

From now on, whenever you talk to Len about refugee-related issues, you have to be very careful with every word you say.

Otherwise, their mission might collapse due to their lack of trust in Lenn.

"Persuading Len is unlikely to work; we may have to think of some other methods."

Morion leaned back in his chair and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.

This mission objective is like having a serious illness.

They all worked to ensure the mortality rate was below 10%, which directly led to Lunen ending the war between the Holy Kingdom and the Demon Realm, achieving such a great feat.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out that this mission was actually a real dead end.

If Lenn hadn't done such a foolish thing, or had been willing to listen to them and not accept refugees without limit, the mission could be said to have been successfully accomplished.

The trust level requirement of Kronen directly locks in the condition that "Kran territory must accept refugees".

"Currently, it seems that to break through this restriction and achieve the desired conditions, one either has to exploit the refugees who haven't yet flooded into the Kran territory, or, behind Lenn's back, prevent refugees from entering the Kran territory..."

Dekan analyzed, then paused, and said with a hint of helpless self-deprecation,

"Or... go and get rid of Lenn without anyone noticing? Hehehe..."

Are you kidding me?

Chloeux stared at Dekan in shock.

While the two solutions Dekan mentioned could theoretically solve the problem, they were not perfect.

But the difficulty of carrying it out is far greater than "capturing Irenos"!

However, Chloeux quickly noticed it from Dekan's wry smile—

Dekan did not think either of these approaches was feasible.

He was mocking the absurdity of this eighth-tier shadow world mission.

None of the three of them had initially realized that there was such a trap hidden in mission objective 2.

Now, with the mission progressing to this point, the absurdly high level of difficulty has finally been revealed.

It looks like one of the millions of refugees and Lenn has to die, and Dekan has to choose.

However, neither of these options is feasible.

This is a bottom-line issue.

Even if Dekan were to orchestrate another scheme to achieve either "intercepting refugees" or "eliminating Lenn,"

He couldn't possibly bring himself to do it.

How is harming civilians any different from that of Irenos?

Dekan would rather die than betray his friend.

Even though Lenn was excessively kind, and even kicked over his stove.

But Dekan had to admit that after spending some time with him, he developed a strong liking for Cardinal Len, who was hailed as a flawless saint by the people of the Holy Land.

Lenn's achievements and integrity deserve the respect of the people of the Holy Kingdom.

Dekan sighed helplessly, walked to the sofa in the office, and leaned down.

"Len, it's one thing if you're confused at other times, but why do you have to act like a saint at this crucial moment?"

Dekan now feels that he was both made and broken by Lenn.

If you're afraid to step up when things get tough, you're just a hypocrite.

If you're truly willing to step up in any situation, then you're a true saint.

But here's the problem: at this point in time, Lenn's top henchman has already finished his job.

He possessed unparalleled ninth-tier combat power, unmatched in the Holy Kingdom, yet he couldn't save any more people.

After all, despite being a saint, Lunn was more adept at killing.

Having finally ended the war, looking at these refugees, Lenn wanted to save them, but he probably felt truly powerless.

Decan knew that Lenn was stupid, but he was just that kind of person who was stupid to the point of being foolish.

With differing stances and perspectives, Dekan didn't know how to criticize Lenn.

Talomatti sat on the sofa opposite Dekan. She couldn't understand what the other three were saying, but she could roughly understand the current situation.

It seemed like I couldn't help, so I didn't say anything.

……

"Ah Lei, where are you...?"

Dekan sprawled out on the sofa as if he were naturally collapsing, muttering to himself.

He felt that things had come to this point.

The entire mission chain in the film universe is like a giant machine that jams just as it's about to start operating.

Ultimately, this second mission objective left Dekan with an indelible and unsettling sense of unease—

They should have exceeded expectations and shouldn't have encountered such a cruel predicament.

Even the ninth-tier Shadow World isn't this disgusting.

That means there might be something missing in some unseen corner of this machine.

As long as one of the right gears is in place.

All gears will mesh, and the machine will operate normally.

All the mysteries will be solved.

"Is someone calling me?"

With a creaking sound as the window was opened, a dark figure gently pushed open the second-floor window of the office and nimbly leaped into the room, alerting Talomatti.

However, Talomati noticed that the other three didn't seem to be wary of the intruder, so he lowered his hand, which he had raised to protect Dekan.

The man dressed as a wandering assassin lowered his hood, revealing his black hair. Although he exuded a fierce aura, he posed no threat whatsoever.

"...?"

Dekan turned around in surprise, then rushed over and gave Clay a big hug as if he had seen a savior.

"Uh……"

Clay was blind, but he knew it was Dekan. Instead of shoving Dekan away with his usual fiery temper, he simply shrugged helplessly.

It's also amazing that Clay, whom Dekan had always considered both an enemy and a friend, has now finally become his true friend who would share life and death with him, and his feelings are particularly complicated when they meet again.

There was a bittersweet feeling of finally being able to reunite with my comrades.

Talomatti stood there dumbfounded on the sofa, as if he doubted that he was hallucinating.

When did her brother become so friendly with humans?

It even gave Talomatti the illusion that Deloitte was already a human.

"Clay! Help me out! I don't know if you're a god or a ghost this game, but I can only bet on you getting a godlike streak this time!"

Dekan released Clay, brushed the snow off him, and then looked at him and said.

"Hehe, as long as you are on the side of justice, you can always trust me."

Clay's lips curled into an incredibly confident smile.

He took a file folder from his cloak and placed it on Morion's office.

"This is?"

Morion asked, puzzled, as he opened the file folder.

At this moment, Chloeux also set up a soundproof barrier in the room.

Although we don't know exactly what Clay did this time, anything related to Clay, the Holy Kingdom's most wanted criminal, must be kept hidden.

"Do you know why the Holy Kingdom has issued such a warrant for my arrest? Is it simply because I attempted to assassinate the Holy Emperor that I'm listed as a top-level wanted person?"

Clay asked the other three smugly.

The arrogance in his words was like that of someone with five stars above their head in Los Santos, utterly invincible.

At this moment, Clay looked exactly like a mad bishop.
