Guild Boss's Ambition

He blamed all his anger on the sun in the sky.

It was at this time that the devil brought him a letter.

The writer is more like a prophet than a devil.

The letter predicted Miss Orange's death, and used sharp and paranoid words to describe the lizardwoman's personal suicidal intention as a sin against the belief in the God of Light, causing the monster boy Lisa to completely hate the God of Light, and hatred then gave rise to the idea of ​​revenge. This letter from the devil captured the boy's mentality and made a suggestion to him.

The man who wrote the prophecy letter called himself Demon King Leia. He asked Lisa to help him summon monsters and then revive the lust of the seven deadly sins.

Later, the petrified lizard received several similar letters, which contained the details of the entire plan.

The plan is mainly divided into three parts.

The first part is to assist the Demon King Leia in completely taking over the body of Saint Agatha.

The second part is the forced sacrifice ritual of the monster that took place tonight.

The third part is to capture the Temple of Life and Death that I stand on and seize one of the three magical weapons of the Seven Deadly Sins of Lust.

……

……

"What should I say? This monster's memory is full of doubts!"

After reading the petrified lizard's memory, I asked Barsalom with a suspicious look on my face, "Looking at your heavily guarded attitude, this dilapidated temple could it really be the location where the magic weapon Crazy Love Ring is stored?"

Barsalom avoided my question and said solemnly, "Bai Ye, you just said that the petrified lizard's memory is full of doubts. What does that mean? From the perspective of Demon King Leia, the petrified lizard's survival should be an accident. He has no reason to know in advance that I can track this sacrifice ceremony."

Hearing this, Lvliu also nodded in agreement, and calmly analyzed, "That's right. If I hadn't investigated, even if we had accidentally discovered the monsters' communication code from the newspaper earlier, we would at most only regard it as an ordinary illegal monster gathering, and definitely not as a conspiracy of the Demon King."

Barsalom kicked the petrified lizard twice with his toes and said, "If it weren't for your Red Moon Magic, Miss Baiye, the soul of this guy would have been sucked out by the Demon King, not to mention reading his memory. Unless Demon King Leia has a spell to predict the future, we are more inclined to believe that the survival of the petrified lizard is his mistake."

Mistake?

The Deceitful Demon's Mistake?

I turned my head to look at Lvliu, whose brain seemed to be more useful, and asked, "What about you? Do you agree with Bishop Barsalom? Can deploying a large number of troops to guard this Temple of Life and Death really achieve the best results?"

"Yes, my conclusion is roughly the same as that of the Bishop."

The exorcist Green Willow glanced at Barsalom and continued, "But I also have doubts about the petrified lizard's memory. Before coming to the Temple of Life and Death, I had already sent people to the residence in his memory to investigate and search for evidence. Calculating the time, the people I sent out should be back to report to me soon..."

After hearing what the exorcist said, Barthalom was the first to get angry and scold: "You did a lot of things behind my back!"

Lvliu looked away guiltily, then waved her fingers vigorously, changing the subject and shouting, "Look! The collaborators I entrusted have returned! Both of you are safe and sound, how great!"

44. The Saint's Whereabouts (White Night)

(white night)

"Look! The collaborators I entrusted have returned! Both of you are safe and sound, how great!"

Following the direction of Basalom's finger, I saw two familiar idiots. The one walking in front was a flashy half-dragon wearing an ice-blue robe, and the one walking behind was a kappa named Xiaoxixi Wild Deer.

It turns out that after dismissing Xiaolan and the others, Luliu immediately went to the neighboring Tree of Life to recruit more people, and picked up these two big bastards.

"Oh! What a coincidence, beautiful Miss Bai Ye!"

As soon as he saw me, the lustful kappa waved to me vigorously and refreshingly.

I forced a smile as a greeting to them.

"Does seeing us upset you so much? Witch!"

As usual, the half-dragon Xuanxun came looking for trouble as soon as he came on the scene. Even though I didn't say anything this time, and even forced out a social smile, this difficult guy was still unwilling to live in peace with me. He acted entirely based on his intuition and personal preferences, and had no idea of ​​the importance of being tactful.

I ignored Xuanxun, who had a sour face, and as the person who entrusted the task, I took the initiative to meet them and began to discuss the results of the reconnaissance. In this regrettable duo, Xiao Xixi, who was more cunning and flexible, obviously took the leading position. He spoke eloquently and gesticulated about what he had seen and heard.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Green Willow. For safety reasons, it took us quite some time to officially sneak into the petrified lizard's residence. It is indeed a mixed-use commercial residence, but the shop on the ground floor has been abandoned for a long time. Judging from the traces at the scene, it has not been open for business for nearly five or six months."

"In other words, it has been out of business since the Wrath of Nature?" asked Green Willow.

Xiao Xixi nodded and confirmed this statement: "We asked the residents who live in the area and came to the same conclusion. As for the woman named Miss Orange that you mentioned, Mr. Lvliu, she did die in nature. The cause of death was homicide, killed by the high elves in the wrath of nature."

At this point, Barthalom immediately realized the seriousness of the incident: "You must have been killed by the high elves?"

Xiao Xixi touched his bald head and said hesitantly, "Well, how should I explain it? We have investigated the location of Miss Orange's grave, and we did not find any signs of death on her body as Mr. Lvliu said. She was killed by a knife cutting her throat, not by taking drugs or drowning. There are obvious scars on her cervical vertebrae."

"We were tricked."

After hearing Xiao Xixi's report, Lvliu and Basalom looked at each other.

The petrified lizard memories we just investigated were edited and fabricated.

I reminded them with a sarcastic tone, "If I were the Demon King Leia, I wouldn't have to tell this petrified lizard my plan. In Leia's original plan, he would die in the square and become one of the fertilizers to summon the Demon King of Lust. In other words, his original third step would not necessarily be to attack the Temple of Life and Death."

At this time, Barsalom frowned and said, "But this Temple of Life and Death is indeed where the Ring of Madness is kept. If Leia wants to revive Lust, then he must first obtain the Ring of Madness. Otherwise, even if he prepares a large number of soul sacrifices, his plan to revive the Seven Deadly Sins will ultimately fail."

"Or - Demon King Leia didn't know where the magic weapons were originally stored."

Lvliu held her head in regret and said, "Our current actions are in fact telling him the correct location of the magic weapon. Knowing the location, he can use more tricks. In addition, he is the devil who is best at deceiving. If we give him more time to rehearse and plan, I have a feeling that this magic weapon will fall into his hands sooner or later."

I asked, "Why not move the magic weapon?"

Barsalom explained, "To move the magic weapon, we must first unseal it. Once the magic weapon is unsealed, the surrounding creatures will be corroded by the miasma. To completely suppress the unsealed miasma, we need 300 white mages. If we want to gather enough white mages, I estimate that it will still take at least one or two days."

I asked playfully, "Is it really okay to tell us this?"

The little Xixi River boy who was also present echoed, "Yes, is this really a good idea?"

Bishop Barsalom said frankly with a serious face, "What? Aren't you good people? Suspicious of people, trust people you employ, that's the way this cardinal always acts. Moreover, Demon King Leia is the common enemy of the human race. At this juncture, there is no need for you to betray the light and cooperate with the devil, right?"

I secretly sighed for the naivety of the cardinal, brought the topic back on track, and asked, "The Demon King's plan is linked one by one. According to the petrified lizard's memory, kidnapping the saint and sacrificing the soul are the first and second steps. The whole plan is closely linked. Even if Leia doesn't know the location of the mad love ring, he will have the third, fourth, and fifth steps..."

"The third step?" Barthalom asked, "Besides reviving Lust, does Leia have any other goals?"

"Battle power." I proposed a hypothesis: "If Leia has the ability to capture the Temple of Life and Death, he will undoubtedly launch an offensive decisively. But from my observation, Leia, the demon king who is staying in the Saint, may not have enough battle power to capture this temple. After all, he himself should not have expected that the whereabouts of the magic weapon would be exposed so quickly."

Lvliu boldly judged and said, "Miss Baiye, what you mean is that we should move the magic weapon now?"

Barthalom asked: "But we don't have enough white mages to suppress the miasma!"

In the end, Green Willow was smarter.

He followed the clues I gave and explained: "If we don't tell anyone, no one will know how many white mages we have. Moreover, it was fifteen years ago that Demon King Leia invaded our church. In these fifteen years, our church has been completely transformed. What he saw was at most what the Saint saw."

Barsalom frowned in doubt: "You want to defraud that Demon King Leia?!"

I smiled happily at this challenge: "Wrong, we are not the ones who are going to lie. It is you, Cardinal Bartholomew! The most deceptive person in the world is definitely not the vicious devil, but the saint who is about to lie. Only when you are trusted all the time, the option of betrayal can produce positive effects."

"How insidious...you witch." Xuan Xun criticized.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We are on the side of justice!" I patted the cardinal on the shoulder and said with a smile.

At this relatively light moment, Xiao Xixi took a step forward, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Lvliu, Mr. Barsalom, according to the agreement, we have completed your commission. As for your remaining affairs, we will not interfere further. So, thank you very much for your care along the way. Goodbye."

Xuanxun stared at me with a bored look on his face and said, "What? Are we leaving like this?"

"That's right, it's over, don't stick around!"

"Is there really no chance for us to play?"

"There really isn't any part for us to appear on stage!"

Xiao Xixi is a shrewd kappa. He chose the right time to retreat bravely, just to cooperate with the reluctant half-dragon boy next to him. The whole scene was dragged out, and it looked like an older brother trying hard to pull his younger brother, who was clamoring to buy toys, out of the goblin machine shop. It was quite funny.

After Yu Xiaoxixi and the others left, my discussions with Barsalom and the others became much simpler.

Barthalom asked, "How do you want to deceive Demon Lord Leia?"

Seeing that I had no intention of speaking, Lvliu took the lead in expressing her own thoughts: "The goal of the plan is to have Leia target the magic weapon that is being transferred. Once the location of the magic weapon is transferred, under stricter confidentiality measures, it will be much more difficult for Leia to find out the whereabouts of the magic weapon in the future. He will never want the location of the magic weapon to be transferred by us."

Barsalom questioned, "Doesn't Leia have a way to detect the location of the magic weapon himself?"

The exorcist said arbitrarily: "Lea is a liar. He will not honestly explain his plan to a chess piece. The fact that the Ring of Madness is hidden in the Temple of Life and Death is just his guess, not something he knows. If he already had a way to detect the location of the magic weapon, he would not have revealed the correct information in the petrified lizard's memory."

Barsalom nodded slightly. "It sounds like this is just one-sided. Can you explain your deception plan in more detail? I want to make it clear in advance that I don't want your plan to require me to take huge risks. I will never use the Mad Demon Ring as a bet for you. You cannot mobilize any of the one hundred white mages and two hundred paladins stationed in the temple."

Mr. Lvliu smiled bitterly and said, "That's a really demanding request."

I smiled and said, "But it's not impossible. As long as you have gold coins, the entire city of Mopolis will serve you."

"No, I have no intention of involving you adventurers in this operation."

Lvliu scratched his messy hair in annoyance, took out the paper and pen from the space ring, found a random place, and began to write a letter while saying: "We in the Church of the God of Light will not send people who have no consciousness to die, and the people who are best at disguising as white mages and paladins will not be messy adventurers like you."

“Messy?” I agreed and laughed, “I like this adjective. It carries a sense of freedom.”

"Do you like freedom?" asked Bartholomew.

"I like power," I replied cheerfully.

While Bishop Barsalom and I were chatting, Mr. Green Willow, with a bitter face, was busy planning everything. His plan was quite good. At least he did not drag me into it and allowed me to act freely, which was very good.

"Well, let's think about remedial measures, shall we?"

Looking at the green willow scratching its head in annoyance, I retreated to the shadow and silently thought about my next step.

……

……

45. Temporary Arrangement (Raftan)

(Raftan-Fritze)

Somehow, Miss Bai Ye suddenly appeared at the scene of the holy war.

I thought she was coming to see me, but it turned out that I had misunderstood her.

Miss Bai Ye, who should have had nothing to do with me, actually knew Bishop Barsalom and his men. And judging from the way they got along, Miss Bai Ye's importance in this holy war might be even greater than mine. Even though I knew in my heart that Miss Bai Ye possessed talents that neither mortals nor I had, I still felt a little unwilling.

It's like the frustration of having to rely on outsiders to protect your own home.

After greeting me, Miss Bai Ye discussed with Bishop Barsalom and others for a long time alone. During this period, Xuan Xun and Mr. Xiao Xixi also came to the Temple of Life and Death, but unlike Miss Bai Ye, they came and left quickly. The way they played and joked along the way always made people feel that they were here for a picnic instead of handling serious business.

"Good night, Raftan. Please stay with me for the rest of the time."

After discussing with the bishop, Miss Bai Ye came to me with a bright smile. Before I could react, the White Mage Gamera, who I was currently protecting, stepped forward and said, "Wait! Who gave you the power to mobilize the Paladins? If you cannot produce relevant supporting documents, we are sorry that we cannot cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Miss Bai Ye smiled and showed Gamera a steel token. The token could only be issued by the cardinal. Possessing this token was equivalent to having power second only to the cardinal and the saint. This also meant that Miss Bai Ye could now mobilize all the troops in the temple at will.

"Why do you have this token?"

Seeing such an important token fall into the hands of a necromancer, Miss Gamera was immediately filled with disbelief.

But Miss Bai Ye was not the kind of nice person who would always consider other people's feelings. She simply ignored Miss Gamera's questioning reaction, put her hand on my left arm, and led me to the outskirts of the Temple of Life and Death. She said leisurely, "Compared to wasting time here, Raftan, you have a more important task. Time is running out. Let's talk while we walk."

Although I felt a little sorry for Miss Kafla, I still followed Miss Bai Ye and left my original position.

While moving, I asked, "Ms. Bai Ye, what is the current situation?"

Miss Bai Ye led me into a shadowy place and replied, "The first reason I called you here is that I am a necromancer. No matter how law-abiding I am, I am a blasphemous existence to your Temple of Light. I need a witness to supervise my behavior so that the bad consequences that may happen in the future will not befall me."

I understand Miss Bai Ye's situation, but I am still a little confused about her way of dealing with it: "I understand, but why me? In terms of credibility, Miss Bai Ye, you should go find a strange clergyman, right?"

"I picked you specifically for a reason."

Miss Bai Ye stopped in the shadows, picked up a hard stone at random, and carved a magic circle on the ground. She smiled and said, "What I am going to do next does not represent the position of your Church of Light. I hope to have an inspector who can fully understand what cooperation means, rather than a fool who tells me what to do."

Miss Bai Ye's concerns are justified.

In the view of some of our Radiant Cult fanatics, the mere act of enslaving animal corpses is an unforgivable crime.

And since Bishop Barsalom wants to use Bai Ye, he must want to make use of her wisdom and expertise to a certain extent. If she is restricted in all aspects and not allowed to play freely, then there is no point in letting Bai Ye participate in the holy war. To be fair, if he did not trust Bai Ye completely, it would be better to keep her out from the beginning to the end.

Understanding the meaning of my existence, I nodded slightly, looked at her who was drawing the magic circle and asked, "Okay, I understand. So, Miss Bai Ye, what are you going to do now?"

Bai Ye made a gesture to keep quiet and suddenly pulled me closer to his side.

Then there was a flash of light, and when I looked closely, Miss Bai Ye and I had arrived in Dongcheng District.

"Let's go find the lair of Demon King Leia."

"Do you know where it is?!"

"I don't know, that's why it's called searching."

Miss Bai Ye looked at my surprised expression and chuckled, then led me to an alchemy pharmacy that had gone bankrupt. She didn't knock on the door, but just reminded me to be careful and went straight to open the main door of the pharmacy.
