"My Lord, everything is going according to plan..."

In the middle of the night, Shay, dressed in black, half-crouched outside the window of the church embassy and reported to Albert inside the house.

"Very good, but it is far from enough... We must make the damned dwarves realize the evil of Shadow Heir..."

"what do you mean......"

"It's not enough to just attack the city indiscriminately... You have to do something big... I think it would be a good idea to secretly destroy the transportation center of this city."

"Yes, I will definitely do it."

These days, Shay disguised himself as Shadow Heir and carried out several indiscriminate attacks in the city, targeting people of all races. This has caused a sensation in the city, and almost all residents know Shadow Heir's "bad reputation."

But the dwarves had no way to deal with the elusive Shay.

There was only one target, but the city was so large that it was impossible to defend it.

No one knows who the next target of "Shadow Heir" will be.

For a time, everyone was in danger.

The tension spread further.

"Hmph... Next, let's see whether the real Shadow Heir... or the remnants of the Shadow Heir Cult will be able to show up..."

......

"call out!"

An ice spike grazes the target on the doll.

With a snap, the ice cone hit the ground, and the water contained in it splashed everywhere.

“…How is it? Some progress, right…” Yan asked Wu Yue who was standing beside him.

"Well... much better than the last two days..."

"Hearing you say that...I feel relieved...It seems that it is not as difficult as I thought..."

"This is what they call 'everything is difficult at the beginning'..."

Although the “Ice Cone Technique” used by Sister Yan is still a little short of perfection... um... ice perfection?

But after just a few days of learning, I have already been able to change my previous magic usage habits... It's pretty good...

However, will it work in actual combat?

In response to this, Yan replied:

"In actual combat, I mainly enchant the sword temporarily. Elune has a complete magic conversion system. As long as I inject the corresponding magic, it will automatically convert, amplify, and release... which actually reduces the difficulty of use..."

"Really? That's amazing..."

Now Wu Yue knows why there are so many runes on the Moon Sword Elune...

Yan took out Elune and injected magic into it.

Along with the clear sound of the sword, the blade of Elune's sword lit up with a cold blue light, and then the blade was covered with ice, making it even colder.

He casually swung his sword, and a sword energy filled with ice elemental magic suddenly flew out, instantly splitting the puppet in front of the two into two...

The aftermath continued to rush backwards, cutting off several wooden stakes in succession, and finally slashed at the edge of the guild training ground, leaving a sword mark.

"this......"

This was also the first time that Yan used his sword like this.

"I just injected a little bit of magic... but it's too powerful..."

That's why people always say that a good weapon can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

No wonder Sword Saint Yan Ling could cut a thousand-meter-long abyss with one sword and split the god's head in two.

As if the noise was too loud, a figure suddenly flashed to the training ground.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the guild master, Kurt von Braun.

As soon as Kurt arrived, he saw the sword in Yan's hand.

"This belongs to Yan Ling. Who are you to her?"

......

"so......"

After hearing this, Kurt sighed.

"I'm sorry, I haven't heard that Yan Ling has ever accepted any students... In fact, I haven't heard from her for a long time... I didn't expect that there would be one less powerful person in the world..."

"Senior, are you familiar with the teacher?"

Yan asked.

"No, I'm not familiar with him at all. I'm just a behind-the-scenes worker, not as public as others. On the contrary, the president should have a good relationship with Yan Ling..."

The "President" here...could it be referring to Nina Galannode?

Wu Yue was thinking this, but Kurt turned and looked at him.

"Are you... kid, your name is Wu Yue? Right..."

"Um...yeah..."

"The president told me about you. You left a very impressive impression on me."

Huh? Am I...that famous?

Wu Yue never thought of himself as someone special.

But the letter sent by Nina actually explains a lot.

Wu Yue has attracted the attention of the guild's top leaders since the time he arrived in Tafu Port.

Wu Yue’s figure can be vaguely seen in almost every major event on the continent, and these are mentioned in the reports submitted by various guild branches.

"Young adventurers like you are the future of the guild..."

I don't know who the last sentence was addressed to...

"I'm just here to check on the situation. I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, Kurt disappeared.

"Topics come and go quickly... Is this the way big shots act?"

......

Shortly after Kurt left...

"I am back."

Bai Ye's voice sounded.

"Master, you are back. Just now..."

"I saw it. I came back only after he left..."

"How is the situation, Master?"

"The church has something. They created several perfect crime scenes in the past two days... The effect is outstanding. Now everyone in the city believes that there is a person named 'Shadow Heir' who is committing crimes everywhere in the city... And the details of the church's case have also been leaked by someone..."

"Wouldn't that be terrible?"

"I admit that I was a little optimistic at first. Now it seems that the church is far more skilled in framing others than I thought. If this continues, the city will be in chaos before Karen can come to deal with it."

Bai Ye has been running around the city these two days, secretly investigating every case.

The church really did use any means necessary to achieve its goals, and its victims included almost every race living in Freedham.

Without exception, everyone at the scene imitated his own killing method.

There is no doubt that the imitator is the one who escaped from his hands.

In order to confuse the magic experts, he even left a lot of traces of high-concentration shadow magic at the crime scene...

At the same time, stories about the church's efforts to discredit the Shadow Cult began to spread in the city.

History is ultimately written by the victors. Once the Shadow Cult was destroyed, the church's definition of them was simply...

"Terrorist", "infidel", "thug" are all mild adjectives...

Bai Ye wants to find the guy who pretends to be Yingsi and kill him.

But he also knew he couldn't do that.

Something has already happened, and even if I kill him now, it will not help...

The church has done all the work in order to lure out the suspected Shadow Heir, or someone related to Shadow Heir, and then use the power of the entire city to take him down.

If I take action at this time, I'm afraid I will face the wrath of the entire Freedum...

Overt conspiracy is indeed more terrifying...

But if we don't do something now and let the situation continue to develop, then things will become out of control, and by then even if Karen arrives, it will be too late.

At that time, there will be at least three Saint-level masters standing on Freedum's side...

"What should I do then, Master?"

"We can't wait any longer... We must take action... However... We must use methods similar to those used by the church..."

Bai Ye suddenly remembered a sentence from Beora that was not taken seriously by others.

This game with the church is indeed like a "business war".

Since the other party wants to discredit me, why can't I fight back?

The chess master of the church wants all the people of Freedum to regard Yingsi as "evil", so why can't they follow the guy pretending to be Yingsi and create some black material for the church in turn?
