Shadow didn't know what Alpha was thinking. He remembered the previous deal with the mysterious man and felt that now seemed like a good opportunity.

"By the way, Alpha, can you compile a copy of the information about the cult and give it to me? This is what she asked me for."

When Alpha heard Shadow's words, she suddenly realized that the previous battle was actually a show, was it actually for the purpose of exchanging information? She felt that she knew the truth, and then decisively agreed to Shadow's request, and was faintly a little excited.

After all, the word "shadow" is like saying, don't worry, there is someone stronger than me behind us.

Bafan Si probably never thought that after she beat up Anying, she would inexplicably become this boy's backer. If she knew that Anying would dare to say something nonsense after waking up, she would definitely hit him harder.

Shadow cheated and successfully obtained the information of the cult. Not only the information of the cult, but Alpha also brought the recent report of Shadow Court. Because she didn't know whether the recent actions of Shadow Court would conflict with Shadow's plan, everything had to be left to Shadow to judge.

Shadow did not reply to Bafansi immediately, but went through the information carefully first. After all, although he was the leader of the Shadow Courtyard, he actually knew nothing about the affairs of the cult.

As for why he knew nothing, but could always guide the Shadow Court to gain the upper hand in dealing with the cult? To be honest, he also thought it was quite magical.

After Shadow read the mission report of Shadow Courtyard, he felt that it was too outrageous, because he remembered every record on it, but the decisions made by him were actually completely different from what he remembered.

For example, one time, the Shadow Courtyard wanted to find a hidden cult stronghold, but they only knew a range but not the specific location, and Shadow gave the answer. Shadow now recalls that he was just looking at the map at the time and felt that there might be something wrong with that place, so he pointed there.

But it just so happened that those guys from the cult were really in that place, and there were many such things. After Shadow read these records, he felt it was incredible. He never expected that he actually had the talent to become a prophet. Every time he said something casually, it would come true in an outrageous way in the end.

"I didn't know I was so strong. But then again, Shadow Court really wasn't just an extra cast hired by Alpha and the others. So, the financial records here are also real? Damn it, they made so much money without telling me, using my knowledge, but didn't give me a cent!"

Shadow's attention was finally attracted by Shadow Court's recent financial income. That string of numbers was so attractive. He didn't expect Shadow Court's annual income to be so high. This made him more aware of the fact that he was a poor man. But the problem was that the leader of Shadow Court was obviously himself, right?

Why is Shadow Court so rich, but he, as the leader, is really a pauper? Shadow couldn't understand. But if he asked the Seven Shadows to ask for money, he felt it was too embarrassing. After all, as the leader of the organization, he actually had to ask his subordinates for money. As a powerful shadow, he really couldn't do such a thing. But he really needed money, how could he repair it!

Shadow's eyes wavered.

Just a little bit.

Probably...

It doesn’t matter, right?

As the leader of the Shadow Courtyard, what's wrong with him borrowing some money from Qiying? It's not like he won't pay it back. He is a powerful shadow master. Isn't it a matter of minutes to make money? Didn't Qiying make the money using his knowledge from his previous life? So this money was originally part of his, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!

He tried to convince himself guiltily.

But in fact, he knew very well that he could not do such things as Qiying, for example, he could not restore some items from his previous life. In fact, he just mentioned it to Qiying casually. For example, chocolate, he just said what kind of food it was, but in fact he had no idea how to make chocolate in this different world, but there was a genius among Qiying who made chocolate according to his description.

This made him realize again.

They are indeed geniuses.

Shadow looked at the report about himself again. Although many of the exaggerated descriptions in it made him feel ashamed, he liked it very much. Hahahaha——

However, he really needs to be more careful in the future. Although he doesn't think that the so-called Diabolos Cult is very strong, he still has expectations for the cult and hopes to meet more interesting opponents.

"Well, it's time to close the deal."

Shadow took out the piece of paper that the mysterious man had given him and wrote down the time and place of the transaction on it. After he finished writing, a line of beautiful handwriting appeared below. This was the reply from the mysterious man.

......

the next day.

A wanted poster appeared on the front page of a newspaper in the Kingdom of Midgar. It said that a group of assassins who called themselves "Shadow Courtyard" had carried out a terrorist attack in the capital last night. The poster included murder, looting, arson, etc.

The most serious charge was the use of ancient artifacts to cause various damages to the capital. It was claimed that the deep ditch tens of kilometers long behind the capital and the fireworks last night were the effects of ancient artifacts. In the newspaper, two mysterious men with hidden faces and wearing black robes were registered on the front page.

The male one was registered as 'Shadow', and the female one was registered as 'Mysterious Person'. The two were obviously enemies at the time, but the Kingdom of Midgar treated them both as the Shadow Courtyard. This showed the royal family's negative attitude towards the matter.

But this is normal.

After all, those two mysterious men were not people that the Kingdom of Midgar could deal with. Even if they really had borrowed the power of ancient artifacts, the power they displayed last night was not something that the Kingdom of Midgar could contend with.

Bafansi was woken up early in the morning by Princess Alice's visit. She opened the door and let the guest into the living room. Although she was woken up, she was still wearing formal clothes because she had no need for sleep and had given up the habit of wearing pajamas.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness Princess Alexia is safe and sound. This is really cause for celebration."

she said casually.

This time, Alice did not bring only two knights as usual. She also brought Alexia with her. It is not known whether she used any life potion. Alexia seemed to be in good spirits today. Even if she did not use the life potion, she probably used other means.

But it has nothing to do with her.

She was too lazy to use her spiritual sense to scan Alexia's physical condition. Shadow had replied to her late last night and agreed to trade information. She felt that there was no need to study the matter of demon possession any further and she could get the answer directly from Shadow.

Of course, after what happened last night, she probably already figured it out.

"I'm sorry, because the matter is urgent, we can only come here to seek your help." Alice first apologized for disturbing Bafansi so early, and then took out a mysterious box.

"This is?"

Bafansi glanced at the box.

"This is an ancient artifact that we found last night from the cult's base. We would like to ask you to help us analyze the information of this ancient artifact."

"Don't you have scholars who can help you with the research on ancient artifacts?"

Bafansi opened the box and looked at what was inside. She couldn't understand the ancient characters on it at all. Although her magic system had an avatar that could automatically analyze text and language, the problem was that she had not yet learned about the ancient characters of this world.

As for using previous knowledge and experience to analyze? That was too inefficient and a waste of computing power. She didn't even consider doing that. If she really needed to study ancient artifacts, she could just learn the ancient writing of this world first. For her, this was actually very simple.

After all, it was her magic system clone consciousness that was studying so hard, not her.

"That would take too much time."

Alice explained.

"We want to find out the effect of this ancient artifact as quickly as possible."

"I see. Well, this ancient artifact is probably only half. Or is it the control device of another ancient artifact?"

Although he did not understand ancient characters, Bafansi had the ability to see through the essence of things. With a few simple operations, he successfully activated the ancient artifact and realized that it was just a control device.

Alice and the others looked at the activated ancient artifacts in amazement, totally unable to believe that something they had studied for an entire night and still couldn't understand was figured out by the other party in less than a minute. Is this the gap?

"This thing has no special ability when used alone, or the key to this ancient artifact lies in the other half. Didn't you find that half in the cult's base?"

"No."

"Oh? That would be interesting."

Bafansi smiled and put the ancient artifact back into the box.

"This ancient artifact has not been activated for a long time. I don't think I need to explain what this means."

Ah.

This is another conspiracy of the cult.

They deliberately dropped this control device in order to let the Midgard Kingdom's Research Institute help them study how to activate it, in order to get the Midgard Kingdom's power for free.

When Alice heard her words, she understood immediately and her expression was not very good, because the cult's behavior was really disrespectful and did not take them seriously at all.

[Chapter 15: The Response of the Kingdom of Midgar]

"What on earth is Father thinking?!"

Alexia said indignantly.

"You're not allowing the Knights to investigate the Order?"

Did that old man really think that as long as he pretended not to know, those dark forces would really not come to deal with the Kingdom of Midgar? It would be fine if the Shadow Court could not figure out their purpose for the time being, but the cult was obviously coming for their royal bloodline.

I was kidnapped and had my blood drawn.

This old guy actually still wants to keep things quiet.

Absolutely abominable!

"Father has his own difficulties."

Alice sighed.

She could probably guess what the king was thinking.

But she didn't agree in her heart.

Because both the Order and the Court of Shadows are too dangerous.

This time, so many people died in the capital and so many buildings were damaged. It was the worst terrorist attack in the capital's history.

But they could only watch as the people from the Order and Shadow Court came and went freely, and the Knights had no way to stop them.

And now they can't continue the investigation.

This was hard for Alice, who had always been strong-willed, to accept.

But as she watched the city return to its original peaceful state under her father's management, she couldn't tell her father with all her strength that his cowardly idea was wrong, which made her very conflicted.

......

The mysterious strong man and the shadow made a lot of noise that night, but in the end the incident did not cause much waves.

It did not have much impact on life in the surface world.

Ordinary people's lives are still the same as they were before. Things of this level have nothing to do with ordinary people anymore. They can only pray that such things will not happen to them next time.

After all, that kind of power.

It is so powerful that ordinary people don’t even have the courage to resist.

The King of Midgar decided to take the matter coldly.

Whether it was the Shadow Court or the Order of Diabolos, he planned to pretend that he knew nothing.

The kingdom continued to maintain its original order.

As an outsider, Bafansi could understand the king's thoughts. After all, although the Kingdom of Midgar was a powerful country on the surface.

But that is only a powerful country in the superficial world.

You have to know that in a world with extraordinary powers, the gap between the surface world and the inner world is often greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

And now the situation that the Kingdom of Midgar needs to face is that neither the Cult of Diabolos nor the Court of Shadows can be dealt with by the Kingdom of Midgar alone for the time being.

However, these two forces are mysterious forces that come and go without a trace. Even if the Kingdom of Midgard wants to join forces to attack them, it cannot do so. It can be said that it is completely powerless.

While the kingdom was unable to deal with the Cult and the Shadow Court, the people of these two organizations were able to ignore the kingdom's defenses. Just like the night before, they completely treated the capital of Midgard as their own backyard. They came and went as they pleased.

So what can be done?

At least one-third of the strongest knights in the kingdom are members of the Order, and there are even more hidden among the nobles.

If it weren't for the fight between Shadow Court and the Cult.

His Majesty the King could not believe that his country had been infiltrated by the cult to this extent. If the cult was given a little more time, even his palace would be infiltrated by the cult.

Before that, they didn't even know the existence of these two organizations. Just think about how terrible that is.

Alice and Alexia wanted to investigate these two organizations. Could the king not understand? Of course not. But as a king, he had to consider more. He had to consider whether it would attract the attention of the two organizations if he supported this matter as a king.

Although the cult had already begun taking action against the kingdom, even if they did nothing, they would eventually be targeted.

But the problem is that the opponent is too strong.

If they played dumb, they might be able to live longer for now, but if the kingdom took the initiative to attack the Cult or the Court of Shadows, the Kingdom of Midgard might soon become history.

......

"Sister Wang, do we really have to pretend that we know nothing as our father said? But according to that master, the sect will come to take back the control device sooner or later. Do we have to take the initiative to hand over the control device to them?"

Alexia thought that it would be stupid to do so. Her father and sister might have been frightened by the power displayed by the mysterious man and the shadow that night, but Alexia was not. She didn't think there were many strong people like the mysterious man and the shadow. And according to the information revealed by Geno before his death, it seemed that the strongest Knight of the Round Table in the Order was completely incomparable to the strength of those two people.

She also told her father the information she knew and her own guesses, but her father just asked her in return, if Shadow and that mysterious man are so strong, so strong that the highest combat force of the cult can only look up to them, then why are they still secretly tracking the actions of the cult instead of going directly to kill the cult?

Yes, this is the biggest disagreement between Alexia and her father. She believes that there will not be a third existence like the mysterious man and the shadow, but her father insists that the cult must have an equally powerful existence in charge, otherwise there would be no need for the three parties to compete, and the cult should have been killed by the Shadow Courtyard long ago.

But now all the intelligence points to the fact that the shadow and the mysterious man seem to be just sabotaging the cult's actions. The cult seems to have suffered the greatest losses in this incident, but it is the most mysterious force.

As for Marquis Geno, who claimed to be the strongest candidate for the Knights of the Round Table, he was obviously a discarded pawn. What knowledge could he have?

Alexia also said that Marquis Geno was stronger than Alice. Not only the king, but even Alice herself did not believe it. They thought that Alexia had such a wrong perception because she was weak in talent and strength, so

You will see it wrongly.

Anyway, after this exchange.

Alexia was very angry.

But she was calm.

She knew she had no power.

If she wanted to continue investigating this matter, she couldn't fall out with her father and sister, but had to think of a solution.
