A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

"I've passed on the information. The scroll has also located you and me. They can find you if they want. The magic effect will last for at least three months! There's no way to dispel it in advance."

Tsk. This wasn't the first time Thomas had heard this, but even after hearing it many times, it still made his teeth ache.

His actions had already alarmed the Gwalan family and that prince, so-and-so. Now they would surely try to deal with him.

“Something must be done,” Thomas said to himself.

Get rid of the body later... maybe use it... and prepare to face the real challenge.

At this time, what he wants is to strike first.

Chapter 234 Trap 2

"And this!" Thomas pointed at the one-eyed wolf.

The magician shrugged, then took out some more powder and sprinkled it on the one-eyed wolf.

This time the herbal flavor is stronger.

"What the hell is this eyepatch?" Thomas asked.

"A magical item, directly attached with a variety of clairvoyance spells. Wearing it, your eyes can see things that others cannot see."

"Where did it come from?"

"It was given by the prince... as a token of our alliance. It was to be divided equally among the four of us, but I paid a large price to purchase its ownership."

Thomas picked up the eye patch and put it on his head under the magician's envious gaze.

The eyes can still see, but the world has been stripped of color and turned into a grayscale image.

He looked around and then saw a wonderful aura in himself.

The sword is glowing? And the arm too?

"I see..." Thomas murmured softly.

It turns out this thing can identify magical items.

Unfortunately, it is too conspicuous. If you wear it on your face in broad daylight, people will think you are a one-eyed person.

You can wear it at night or when you go out with a mask and makeup on.

But regardless, it's a very useful item.

There was a knock on the door. "Can you come in?" It was Eva's voice.

"Come in," Thomas replied.

Eva pushed the door open and came in.

"How's the situation outside?"

"The Gvalan family has indeed taken action," Eva said. "They have indeed sent an envoy to the Grand Duke to lodge a complaint."

"So, how did the Grand Duke react?"

"The Grand Duke sent one of his men to handle the matter. But he was rather perfunctory and inactive. He simply sent someone to explore the area surrounding the trading post before returning. The Gwalan family is, after all, a nouveau riche, and the nobles in the city are jealous and resentful of them. It's common for them to work without putting in any effort. However, they have issued a bounty on the mercenary team."

This was a complete perfunctory act. After all, those mercenaries knew exactly what they had done and would have taken their money and left long ago. There was no reason for them to stay.

Thomas nodded; he had expected that.

"Besides reporting to the police, are there any other actions?"

"There's been some unusual activity at home... probably mobilizing personnel. But I can't see the specific details."

After all, Eva was the illegitimate daughter of the Grand Duke of Kiev. Asking her to gather information among the common people might not be appropriate. However, asking her to inquire about the less confidential information at the court of the Grand Duke of Novgorod would be much more effective.

As expected, we have to take action in the end.

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

If they ignored the Fox Wolf's request, the matter would end there.

Thomas had no intention of eradicating the entire clan. After all, from what he knew so far, neither the prince nor the Gwalan family were easy to deal with.

He has access to the advancement potion! He must have no shortage of elite warriors under his command.

But... now they are forcing us to fight, and we have no choice but to fight back.

"Come on!" he whispered to himself. A surge of anger slowly built up in his chest. "Do you really think... I'm weak?"

"That scroll positioning magic..." Thomas turned to the magician. "Is it really as you said?"

"Your Excellency, you can fully rely on my expertise in this regard," the magician replied.

……

Night outside Novgorod.

The first snow has slowly stopped.

The snow was not very heavy. It looked like snowflakes all over the sky, but in reality the accumulated snow was not very thick, the thickest part only barely covered the ankles.

It does not affect people's travel.

But the temperature showed no sign of warming up, and all the locals knew a second round of heavy snow could fall at any moment.

Now is not the time to travel far.

At this time, the avenue outside the city was evenly covered with a layer of white snowflakes.

But there were not many tire tracks left.

The sound of horse hooves came from far away.

The horse's hooves stepped heavily into the snow, leaving a deep hoof print.

A group of figures on horseback appeared, all wearing black cloaks that concealed their figures in the night, wearing helmets, and leaning forward on their horses' backs to gallop.

There weren't many people, maybe a dozen or so.

But their movements were coordinated and their marching formation was complete and even, which showed that they were obviously not ordinary people.

Behind them, at a slight distance, was another group of riders.

These people were much more disorganized. Although they were also traveling on horseback, there was a sense of disorder among the group.

However, their number is much larger than the first team, with dozens of people.

The leader was little Gwalan.

These dozens of people are almost all elite fighters.

This is the foundation of the Gwalan family.

Soon, the team arrived at an open area outside the city.

The first person stopped his mount and looked at the building in the distance.

It was a relatively independent building...a small villa, so to speak.

He looked up and took off his helmet, revealing the cold face of the red dragon.

"Here?" He stared at this place for several minutes.

Tonight, the stars and the moon are shining brightly, and there is a layer of snow on the ground. The visibility is definitely worse than during the day, but not by much.

"Yes, sir, the fox is here!" the subordinate said. "It's either a man or a corpse."

"What is this place? Who does this villa belong to?"

"It belongs to a small convent..." the servant replied. "But it's rented to a foreign couple."

The monastery walls can be seen further away, but they are too far away to affect the villa.

"One last time to confirm... is the Fox Wolf here?"

"Yes, sir. We used magic to locate her yesterday and confirmed that she was sent here. We located her again two hours ago during the day today. Unless she was sent away within these two hours, she must be here." The subordinate explained in detail.

"Where's the special envoy?"

"Uh... the last time we located it..." The subordinate couldn't explain it clearly.

Ultimately, magic is too expensive. Although positioning spells are very low-level spells and cost little, it's best to avoid them if possible.

Finding the fox wolf is like finding the envoy.

Even if we don't find it, we'll still have time to locate it and contact the envoy next time. The magic mark won't fade for several months.

"I understand. Send the Gwalan family over here and get ready." The Red Dragon sneered. "This could be a trap."

Even if it was a trap, he wasn't afraid, because they had enough people and strong fighting power.

In fact, if someone was lying in ambush, he would be even happier, because the villa could only hold ten people at most.

In this way, all problems can be solved head-on.

Chapter 235 Trap 3

The crowd has gathered.

Everyone dismounted and slowly approached the villa.

They encountered no ranged attacks, nor any other traps, and they easily reached the outside of the villa.

But of course they wouldn't rush in rashly, because if it wasn't an ambush but gunpowder, the situation would be different.

"Send two people to take a look." The Red Dragon pointed to the villa in the distance.

Soon, two people from the Gwalan family walked cautiously to the gate of the villa and pushed it hard.

The door was not locked and was pushed open easily.

From a hundred steps away, you can see four figures sitting in the reception room.

The four people sat very quietly on the sofa in the living room, and did not react at all to the person who pushed the door open.

"Fox-wolf?!" Little Gvaran's expression changed slightly.

Even in the darkness of night, he recognized the familiar figure.

"Wolf's Den Envoy!" he shouted loudly into the villa. "You don't think you can threaten me like this, do you?"

No one answered.

The entire villa was filled with deathly silence.

"Go in and take a look!" Little Gevalan ordered.

The two men who had entered walked around the room and found nothing wrong.

This doesn't seem like an ambush.

The red dragon took the initiative to enter and walked straight towards the four evil wolves.

They were also acquaintances, so he wouldn't make a mistake.

But once they got closer, they realized something was wrong. These four people weren't alive, they were corpses.

A completely dead body.

He did a quick inspection and knew from experience that these bodies had been dead for at least three days, maybe even four or five days!

Even in this relatively cold weather, there are signs of decay.

Others entered the villa and began to search everywhere.

"Report, there is no one here!" Soon, someone came to report.

"Send more people and look around. Be careful of ambushes and traps!" Little Gwalan ordered.

He was a little depressed.

All four wolves were actually dead... I can only say that the special envoy acted really cruelly and quickly!

His men dispersed, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing.

Little Gwalan and the Red Dragon reunited and looked at the four corpses that were already showing signs of decay.

The Red Dragon was not troubled because this situation was within his expectations.

It could even be said that this situation suited him perfectly, because it made it legitimate to swallow up several people's assets.
