The other three were quite certain that when this guy was infiltrating the Church of Resurrection, he didn't need to act at all; he was just being himself.

"You did something else?"

Dekan wasn't too surprised, simply because the man's name was Clay.

"Of course, I seized from the Holy Capital evidence of the Holy Emperor's years of condoning the nobles' blood sacrifices of many innocent civilians."

Clay pointed to the file folder, his eyes turning incredibly sharp.

"And irrefutable evidence that the Holy Church in the South has long been corrupted by unknown evil deities!"

The other three were stunned after hearing what Clay said, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"What did you say……?"

"Excuse me, could you please say that again?"

"What on earth are you talking about?!"

The three of them seemed to have become deaf and mute, staring blankly at Clay.

This is a lot of information.

It wasn't until Clay repeated the story and explained it in more detail that they finally understood the truth.

The Holy City has a huge problem!!!

If this film world focuses on Clay, the story we see will likely be completely different from the perspectives of the other three!

After reviewing the extremely important evidence that Clay had risked his life to bring back, Morion handed it to Dekan and Chloeux for their inspection.

Finally, Morion breathed a sigh of relief and carefully sealed it away.

"The evidence is irrefutable."

After reaching a conclusion, all three of them couldn't help but stare at Clay.

You truly deserve to be called Sheen's disciple; you're quite the paparazzi!

The trio thought they had done something impressive enough in the northern part of the Holy Kingdom, but they didn't expect that Clay was still a cut above.

If the Holy Capital were to learn that this information had fallen into the hands of the Kran Territory, they would likely launch a carpet-bombing campaign against it without hesitation!

"Did you manage to shake off the pursuers from the Holy Capital on your way here?"

Dekan quickly asked.

"Don't worry, I'm a professional intelligence agent for the kingdom. I've already taken care of all the hounds of the Holy Capital, the hunters and spies along the way."

Clay said with a cold laugh.

He is undoubtedly the highest-ranking intelligence agent of the Kingdom Federation.

"So that's why you've only just arrived in Krantes?"

Dekan roughly understood that the reason Clay arrived a month and a half later than the three of them was to perfectly counterattack and eliminate those tails, leaving no hidden dangers.

But the problem came again.

It was only a month and a half ago that Klay had already reached the border of the Kran territory, which is why they started mission objective 2.

That means Clay spent a lot of time inside and outside the border.

Are you currently overwhelmed by the refugee issue?

Clay asked.

"Yes."

Dekanda.

"Do you think these refugees are all from other war-torn towns and villages that have struggled to survive, and they've come to the Kran territory?"

"uh-huh?"

"Indeed, the large number of refugees you initially investigated were almost all coming from other northern border territories, but now, there are still a large number of refugees appearing, and they are actually from the Holy Capital!"

After Clay finished speaking...

The other three were stunned once again.

It seems that Clay has uncovered another crucial piece of intelligence.

The three men from Crantes did indeed investigate the origins of the refugees from Crantes.

They were all other homeless residents from the north.

But the truly staggering number of refugees who subsequently flooded in, and who were still in the border cities of Ukraine, were mainly from the Holy City?!

"Why would they have to flee from the Holy City to the northern border territory?"

Chloeux was very puzzled.

Even if the Holy Emperor is indifferent and the oppressive policies of the Holy Capital are unbearable, surely people would not brave this deadly cold and flee to the northern border, which was originally a battlefield?

Logically speaking, this should be the real hell.

Upon hearing Chloeux's question, Clay's fists cracked, and finally, as if a surge of anger within him could no longer be contained, he gritted his teeth and pounded his chest, saying:

"You have no idea what the Holy Capital has become. News is completely blocked; the real Holy Capital is practically a ghost town!!!"

"Those corpses and spirits scattered everywhere, even though I can't see them, I can feel the eerie horror of blood flowing for miles down the street!"

"There must be a terrifying existence lurking in the Holy City. If I take one wrong step, I may be trapped here forever."

At this point, Clay clenched his fist, looked at the three of them, and said, word by word:

"We must persuade Lunn to raise an army and attack the Holy Capital. Kill the Holy Emperor! This is the true solution to this Shadow World!"

338 A Journey to the Holy Land of Dekan

Snowflakes were falling heavily in the night sky.

The white, fluffy material blocked the already dim moon and sparse starlight.

The entire city of Crantes seemed to be asleep.

It was the early hours of the morning when the gates of the lord's manor were finally pushed open.

Len looked slightly tired; he had returned alone.

For a powerhouse of his caliber, even going without sleep for days wouldn't make him feel tired at all.

His fatigue was more a manifestation of mental exhaustion.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

As soon as Lenn entered the lord's manor, he noticed Chloix waiting there.

Although Chloeux is the head of internal affairs, it is no longer Chloeux's working hours.

"Lord Lenn, Delois wishes to see you."

Chloeux took Lenn's rain-soaked coat and, after confirming that no one else was around, spoke softly.

"Ugh."

Len sighed.

"If he's trying to say something similar to what Morps said, then he shouldn't even try."

He didn't want to argue with Deloitte.

Lenn knew very well that, given Deloitte's personality and way of doing things, he would surely advise him in the same way Morps did.

However, Chloeux shook his head:

"No, it's related to the Holy City. Please come with me."

"..."

Lenn's calm expression changed noticeably; his emotions seemed to have become extremely complex in that instant.

Chloeux was certain that Lenn must have known something all along.

Chloeux didn't say much, just nodded in acknowledgment, and quickly walked upstairs to the second floor.

Lenn followed without saying a word.

……

Soon, they arrived at the office of the head of internal affairs on the second floor.

Inside the room, besides the familiar Delois siblings and Morpheus, there was a dark-haired man on the sofa.

Lenn had a feeling that since returning from Delois, there seemed to be more and more people and non-people in his family.

However, when Lenn's gaze fell on the dark-haired man, he seemed to understand many things in an instant.

Even though Lunn hadn't had much interaction with Ray before, he knew that this guy was the ruthless person who assassinated the Holy Emperor.

Chloeux closed the door, re-enchanted the room with soundproofing magic, nodded to Dekan, and stood beside Lenn.

Dekan picked up a thick stack of document bags and stood up from the sofa.

“Len, please take a look at these first.”

He walked up to Lenn and handed him the top-secret document that Clay had brought back from the Holy Capital.

"..."

Lunn took the file bag.

But Lenn didn't speak, nor did he open the file folder.

Seeing Lenn's performance, Dekan did not urge him on.

After a long silence, Dekan sighed helplessly and asked:

"Len, have you already guessed what's inside?"

Dekan knew that the reason Lenn hadn't opened it was—

Once it's opened, there's no turning back for Len.

Lenn may have already begun to question the Holy City.
