A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

What Bai Ye didn't know was that Shay hadn't actually given Maglock away at all.

Naturally, there is no such thing as passing the buck.

Moreover, compared to the "untouchables" of "unidentified" in Albert's eyes, it seems that there is a better person to take the blame now...

"So, Mr. Swan...you must give me a reasonable explanation for this matter. Those are all devout followers of the Holy Light, and they died in a foreign land for no apparent reason. It is unacceptable...I am now very skeptical about the safety of the Free City. We dare not let the Saint Lady stay in such a dangerous place. What do you think?"

In the palace, Albert personally found Swan and began to put pressure on him.

"Bishop Medici, I don't understand what you said. As far as I know, the dead did not enter the city with the church delegation. Why is Lord Medici so sure that they are church members?"

"Moreover, these people were wearing uniforms and hiding their heads and faces. At first glance, it looked like an organized and purposeful action. In addition, the place of death was located under the city wall, and a roll of climbing rope was found on the wall... I wonder how your Excellency can explain this?"

whispering sound......

Albert cursed in his heart. These dwarves may look simple-minded, but they are actually very smart...

"To be honest with you, Master Swan, the deceased were all guards of the church, responsible for secretly protecting the Saint. Since it was a 'secret' protection, it would not be appropriate for them to show up in public from the beginning, right?"

"And the guard who was loyal to the Saint Lady died inexplicably in the dark. This shows how insidious and cunning the opponent was, and how cruel he was. Alas..."

As he spoke, Albert actually squeezed out a few tears for Swan to see.

"So, Lord Swan, you must find the murderer, bring him to justice, and give these poor believers justice. Otherwise, who would dare to come to such a huge 'City of Freedom'?"

"..."

Swan looked coldly at the man in front of him who had an excessive desire to perform.

He was originally going to ask about another case, but now the church got the upper hand. After all, they had more casualties, so they were slightly more reasonable...

"Does Lord Medici mean what your Saint and that Paladin mean as well?"

Swan asked.

"......Of course......When Lady Saint heard the sad news, she fainted from excessive grief, and Lord Menethil was filled with righteous indignation and said he would get to the bottom of the matter......"

In fact, Albert was exaggerating. When Beatrice heard the news, she was not so sad at all, or rather, she was dominated by fear. Isabella did not express anything after hearing it. The Templar Assassins had nothing to do with her, and they were the kind of people she despised the most because she acted uprightly.

Isabella just turned her face towards Albert, her eyes looking through the ribbon, almost giving Albert a heart attack...

Fortunately, it was only a moment, and Isabella didn't say a word. Maybe she knew Albert's little thoughts, or maybe she was still in the dark. Who knows?

"...I understand, Master Medici. We have been investigating this matter and I believe that we will all get a satisfactory result in the end..."

Swan's words were profound.

"In this case, I must immediately provide you with valuable intelligence, hoping to help you solve the case as soon as possible."

"Oh? Please speak."

Swan knew that Albert was about to do something weird, so he pretended to be very interested.

"According to the description of a survivor who escaped from the clutches of the devil, we have locked on a suspect. Since you have not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, it is highly likely that we don't know who this person is. Let me give you a brief introduction."

"This man was the church's mortal enemy a hundred years ago. He was a typical pagan who opposed the church in every way. He committed assassinations, sabotage, theft of secrets, robbery and theft. He was not afraid of anything. Later, he gathered a large number of extremely vicious and dangerous elements and established his own evil sect. He openly opposed the various countries on the mainland. It was a bloody storm at that time."

"Later, with the unremitting efforts of various countries, this group of terrorists was finally wiped out, but the whereabouts of the leader has been unknown, and his life or death is unknown..."

"His name is Tibinio Shadowsire. I have reason to believe that he is the instigator of this incident."

Swan originally thought who Albert was going to put the blame on, Yingsi? It was indeed an unfamiliar name...

Is the church really going to find the real culprit?

Is there really no connection between the two cases?

"Why was Lord Medici able to determine that this was the murderer just by listening to the description?"

"According to the church's records, Shadow Heir has no face, but is just like a human-shaped shadow. He is very good at sleight of hand. He was also blessed by a foreign god and is completely immune to shadow magic. Based on these two points, I can be completely sure that the murderer is this person."

"...I understand. I will send more people to investigate this matter...Please go back, sir..."

"Don't you need the church's help?"

"No need, Master Medici, just take care of yourself..."

"Okay, then I won't disturb Lord Swan from his work. I'll take my leave..."

......

After leaving the palace, Shay had been waiting for a long time.

"How is it, my lord?"

"Humph, this dwarf is very difficult to deal with. I don't think he believes even half of what I just said. It seems that we have to tell him the truth. The real murderer must be the one we designated."

"So, everything went according to plan?"

"Well, if this thing is done, it will be a great achievement for both you and me."

"We will definitely fulfill our mission."

“Remember, Shay, this is your last chance. If you fail, you don’t have to continue as a Templar Assassin.”

"......yes......"

Shay knew very well that when the church got dirty gloves, how proud it was, and how miserable it would be when they were taken off...

This happened to many of our predecessors, who did many unknown things for the church and were eventually pushed out as scapegoats, and countless of them were liquidated afterwards.

So what Albert said was absolutely right, this was his last chance.

In fact, if Shay had chosen to stay in the Kingdom of Faga, his treatment would not have been bad, second only to the No. 1 Maglock of that session.

But people always want to make progress, let alone Shay, who has been suppressed by Maglock for many years and is unwilling to accept the result.

Will he eventually become the second-in-command of the Kingdom of Fajia, a vassal state that has to bow down to the church? Or will he accept the olive branch thrown by the church and become their agent?

The answer is already clear.

So Shay will not regret it. No matter what, he wants to be better than those who once looked down on him. For this, all the sacrifices and dirty tricks are worth it.

To be honest, Shay was also unhappy with Albert's arrogant attitude in front of him, but what could he do?

He is a member of the Pope's family and a blood relative of the Pope. He can receive the best education since birth. With a little effort, he can climb to the position of cardinal. His words are the result of his years of hard work.

Obviously I am the one who works harder...

The stronger one is also oneself...

As for why he didn't reveal Maglock's identity...

Shay didn't want him to take the blame and die easily at Albert's hands.

He would keep this former genius, the young lion of Fajia, under his feet for the rest of his life and would not let him die.

That would only make him happy for a while... What he wanted was to watch Maglock gradually become mediocre and live like a dog all his life.

Maybe a little, just a little.

He, Shay, did not want to bring disaster to the Kingdom of Faga, his former hometown.

This is probably the last bit of conscience that a Fajia person has for his motherland...

As Albert gradually walked away, Shay gently pulled his hood up and walked away from him.

After finishing this job, bright prospects are waiting for me.

Just watch... Maglock.

Who will have the last laugh...
