Chapter 345: Chapter 343: The Delicious Wind Goose’s Amazing Adventure_1
"Thank goodness for Xitan Pulan..."
The Delicious Wind Goose let out a deep sigh.
Now that he was locked up in the dungeon, the plan arranged by Annan had to rely on Jiu’er to execute.
The remaining two players were all clergy of the Silver Baron, and just yesterday, they had successfully been employed.
According to what the Monster Teacher said... normally, clergy from different parishes who wanted to enter the Royal Capital would need to have at least five years of excellent assessments before they could submit an application.
But when the Monster Teacher and their group reported in, they faced no obstacles at all and were very straightforwardly transferred to Noah.
——They could even earn a salary of twenty silver coins a month during their trial period!
The other players immediately felt envious.
But the Monster Teacher quickly explained to the players.
It was not that the clergy profession was impressive, or that the Silver Baron showed special treatment to players... to put it accurately, it seemed to be because Big Brother Annan had quite the reputation.
The Silver Baron specifically told the Cardinals in Noah, "Take extra care of those coming from Frostwater Harbor and Roth Fort."
And this was undoubtedly a favor garnered by Annan’s influence.
He had even granted Annan the silver robe, so helping Annan insert a few people was just a matter of convenience — had Annan come to the Royal Capital himself, he could’ve achieved these minor things with the authority the silver robe granted.
But the Silver Baron taking the initiative to speak for Annan was a simple gesture for Him, yet it saved Annan a lot of trouble.
This showed that the Silver Baron truly wanted to be on good terms with Annan. Otherwise, as a True God, He had no need to go to such lengths.
However, even though the Monster Teacher and their group had obtained legal identities and official jobs... it also meant that they couldn’t move around the city at will anymore.
The Silver Baron’s church had been very busy lately.
After the Monster Teacher and their group took an oath of secrecy before the statue of the Silver Baron, they learned of this very important piece of information:
Over a month ago, the Silver Baron Suddenly issued a divine decree to arrest all the Defu followers within the territory of the Kingdom of Noah, totaling 17,648 people.
Their statuses ranged from gardeners, stablemasters, gravekeepers... to the queen, princes, earls, generals, and the royal guards.
When the list was received, not only the bishops but even the Pope was shocked.
The Pope did not know the extent to which the Defu church had infiltrated Noah.
Even if you combined all the clergy belonging to the Silver Baron within the entire Kingdom of Noah, it would not even be close to twenty thousand, would it?
It wasn’t even half of that number...
Whose kingdom was Noah, the Silver Baron’s or Defu’s?
Although there were reasons such as the Silver Baron’s church having very strict recruitment standards while Defu would accept anyone without any screenings — if you believe, I’ll take you. But the rate of spread was still too fast.
And it involved far too many people.
Just the queen and that general alone... if arrested indiscriminately, it might cause massive chaos. If word got out while arresting a few of them, the rest might flee in a group.
And it’s tough to pinpoint the exact locations of such a large list of names.
Therefore, the Silver Baron’s church roughly determined the arrest process.
First, by holding fundraisers, public lectures, and charity activities, they identified the highest-ranking individuals within the targeted group. Next in line are those who are "non-Transcendents" with higher status and currently still in the Royal Capital of Noah.
Following that, the Silver Baron’s church began to gradually increase their control over the subway system.
As for Transcendent believers within the Royal Capital, they can be set aside for the time being. As long as the subway entrances are blocked, they won’t be able to escape... and driving them out of the Royal Capital could also reduce the environmental damage caused during combat.
At present, they are luring those "higher-ranking individuals" to the Silver Baron’s church through various means.
Although it’s unknown why Defu didn’t warn His followers... just to be safe, the Silver Baron’s priests are still maintaining the secrecy of their actions as much as possible.
Their ultimate goal is to isolate the highest-ranking and most dangerous Defu followers.
More specifically, that refers to the wife of Prince Albert, Princess Kafney’s mother. Along with Prince Philip, the eldest son of the Crow family, General Layne, and the Chief Justice, Earl Philip Shelley, these five individuals were involved.
This even touched upon the direct descendants of the royal family, the intelligence agency, the royal guards, and the legal system. It could be said that if the Silver Baron Church had followed normal procedures, they would have been surely discovered by them.
To avoid tipping them off, the Silver Baron Church did not investigate those close to them.
For example, His Majesty the King, Prince Albert himself, and Sir Steward Shelley, the younger brother of Philip Shelley and the Chief of Police. The Silver Baron Church could only confirm that they were not believers of the corrupted husband, but they couldn’t be sure whether they would leak information or not.
When the time was right, the Silver Baron Church would proceed with a forceful arrest.
—— launching a raid to capture all five individuals at once.
This was definitely a major plot twist.
The players speculated that this scenario might lead directly into the main storyline of Annan’s return to the Royal Capital. Therefore, the monster instructor and his companion were too busy with the preliminary tasks to risk making contact with Jiu’er.
As a result, a slightly mentally unstable girl, who had just turned eighteen, was left all alone in the capital of a foreign country.
While they required Jiu’er to take care of herself and simultaneously gather intelligence and infiltrate local organizations, it was probably asking too much of her.
But Delicious Wind Goose had no other choice.
Who knew that once they entered the Royal Capital, only one of them would remain?
"I hope Xitan Pulan can remotely manipulate Jiu’er a bit."
It would be best to instruct her on what she should do first, what to do next, how to speak to people she meets, and how to respond to questions others ask...
It would be ideal to direct her as if it were a first-person RPG.
After all, Delicious Wind Goose had opened up another line of information on his side——
Delicious Wind Goose had dismissed Claus Kass before receiving the "designated information that could be disclosed" from Defu.
While waiting for him to come back with more questions, Delicious Wind Goose was busy with another matter...
He was trying to learn as much as possible.
"Have you memorized it?"
A hoarse voice rang in front of Delicious Wind Goose.
The figure squatting in front of him was a gaunt old man.
The old man was locked in a cell opposite Delicious Wind Goose.
He looked like a skeleton, straining to open his eyes and hunched over... seemingly on his last breath.
Unlike Delicious Wind Goose, who had only his coat, equipment, and cursed objects confiscated.
The old man was only wearing a pair of shorts. Other than that, there were no items in the cell, not even a wooden stick, only half a broken bowl.
At that moment, the old man had smashed the bowl.
Clutching a piece of earth, he drew many patterns on the ground.
Delicious Wind Goose crouched in front of the cell, straining his eyes under the faint sunlight to observe the ground in the cell across from him.
"...I’ve memorized it."
He observed silently for about thirty seconds before respectfully replying.
The old man didn’t say much.
He just continued to draw on the ground, the shards of stone making a grating sound that set one’s teeth on edge: "Next is this ritual... remember, 11 is associated with fire and creation like the eleven-pointed star. And to differentiate the realms of fire and creation within a magic circle, the simplest method is to use the material with which the circle is drawn.
"If one uses materials with heat properties, such as cinnabar, copper, or powdered ruby, then it can directly be considered a cirica of the fire realm. And for neutral materials, like crystal or silver, combined with symbols of the sun, moon, and stars, they can be considered a dominion of creation..."
——All of these were forbidden knowledge about Ritualists.
