Magic Underachiever

Confident Bishop Duncan took a sip of coffee, then picked up a newspaper and started reading. Not long after, a man sat opposite him. Duncan looked up and saw that it was Sir Charles, so he smiled and said, "The coffee here tastes good. During the more than ten years of wandering overseas, I have always missed the coffee of the Order Continent. This time we are back again with an unfinished mission.

Do you, those who hid back then, still have the heart to serve the church and God?"

Sir Charles took off his hat and put it aside. Facing the receptionist, he casually ordered a cup of coffee and said to Duncan, "I don't want to deny anything... but after so many years, it is easy for people to lose faith.

I don't want to have anything to do with my old friends anymore. I just want to make money and make some inventions.

I can donate a large sum of money to you. I just hope that after you get the money, you will never look for me again."

Although Duncan's clothes and appearance were disguised as an ordinary person, Charles could still detect the familiar breath emanating from him. He did not deny that he was once a member of the Church of Staring into the Abyss, but slightly tested Duncan's purpose in looking for him to see how much he knew about his own affairs.

Since many believers did not follow the withdrawal of Gazing at the Abyss from the Continent of Order, Duncan could not be sure that Charles was the traitor. The donation Charles promised to give still made Duncan very excited. Gazing at the Abyss needs a lot of money to return to the Continent of Order. If there is nothing else, Duncan will not bother Charles after getting a large sum of money. Anyway, after so many years, the church does not intend to absorb the remaining personnel, which will increase the risk of re-exposure.

But at the request of Speaker Peters, Duncan must give him a satisfactory explanation.

After the coffee ordered by Charles was delivered, Duncan released a silent magic, and then said to Charles: "I am very satisfied that you did not deny your former beliefs... It was the church that abandoned you, so we returned and did not force you to believe in my God again.

However, you must do one thing for the church, and the church will completely sever all ties with you, no longer contact you, and will not betray you."

Sir Charles heard the threat of Bishop Duncan: If you don't do this, then the church will definitely betray you.

This is Sir Charles' biggest handle. In the ordered continent ruled by the Supreme Church of Faith, any heresy will be punished by the Supreme Church once it is exposed. Even if Sir Charles is now a more influential public figure, as long as he has joined the heresy, he will not be let go by the Supreme Church of Faith.

Charles kept calm in his heart, thinking about how to let Duncan know Jessica's identity. Jessica's ancestor may be greater than the dread demon Ergus, who can make demons and undead bow before him...

But a bishop who believes in Ergus will admit that another god is more honorable than Ergus?

Charles decided to listen to what Duncan wanted him to do first, and learn more about the current situation of Gazing into the Abyss.

"What should I call you, and what do you want me to do for you?"

"Just call me Duncan..." Duncan looked around, and the subordinates who were ambushing everywhere did not give any warning, indicating that Charles did come alone. He said with confidence: "I have an assassination mission for you. We know that you have been in frequent contact with Master Liang of the Black Fire Company recently and often participate in activities organized by the 'College Alliance'.

Your mission is to find an opportunity to kill Master Liang.

After completing this mission, we will no longer have any relationship."

Sir Charles did not expect that Staring into the Abyss would ask him to assassinate Master Liang. What kind of conflict of interest could he have with this evil church?

Sir Charles showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Impossible... You don't know how tight the protection around Master Liang is. This is a suicide assassination.

Change the conditions! Or I will give you money directly. I know you are short of money."

Duncan really needs money. If he has a choice... he will ask for money. But he really can't find someone more suitable than Charles to assassinate Master Liang.

"This is not a matter of money. Young Master Liang must die!" Duncan refused the temptation: "Black Fire Company has the strength to challenge Scarab Company. I certainly know that Young Master Liang must be protected by 13th or even 14th level strongmen, but now is the era of hot weapons. As long as you can grasp his whereabouts, or arrange him to a predetermined location.

One shot from a distance can complete this task. I believe you have a way to make yourself not suspected. After completing this task, you have nothing to do with us. You continue to be your rich man and explorer."

Sir Charles said: "I refuse..."

Duncan forced: "You are not qualified to refuse! If you don't accept this task, then tonight... the church knights of the Azure Cathedral will knock on your door."

Sir Charles replied coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I threaten you again... Will you accept this task or not?"

The conversation fell into a deadlock, and neither of them spoke.

At this time...Jessica had set up a sniper rifle on the roof of the building opposite the cafe. Since the cafe is not a glass wall, Charles and his seats cannot be seen from the window, so Jessica cannot directly observe Duncan.

However, Jessica has learned a lot of magic skills from Cindy these days. The skills of using earth magic can let her see the magic fluctuations behind obstacles, and then distinguish what she sees again through the magic ripples and the strength of magic.

Jessica found the location of Charles's magic energy characteristics, and saw Duncan sitting opposite Charles, as well as those people with high energy characteristics in the cafe.

The light of magic covered Jessica's eyes, and she stared at the scope and completed all preparations. The intuition of shooting made her confident... As long as she fired, this special alchemical bullet enchanted by the ritual could penetrate the wall and hit the target.

And Duncan in the cafe also looked at Charles confidently, waiting for his answer.

Charles did not let Duncan wait too long. He knew that Jessica should have arrived at the location at this time, and aimed the gun at the person in front of him.

So Charles said to Duncan: "Mr. Duncan... I have no interest in the mission you gave me. Not only because Master Liang saved me, but also because I want to be Charles in someone's heart.

You also said that this is the era of hot weapons. Do you really think I came here alone?

There is a powerful gun aimed at your head right now.

Including those people next to you who only drink coffee and don't order anything, they are also your subordinates.

Staring into the abyss is really desolate. The cost of an operation is so pitiful... You should really consider my advice and take the money and stay away from this thing that does not belong to you."
