After hearing what Ciel said so absolutely, Jim Watts asked a little unwillingly.
Shaking his head, Ciel replied simply: "Indeed, although my strength is not the best in the world, it can be regarded as a rare strong man. It can be said to be the first-class level in any country. In the face of
When Orsaga came, even if he had just arrived and had not yet become familiar with this world, the power in his body was at least hundreds of times that of mine...
And not long after that, the link between him and me was completely disconnected. Before the disconnection, I could still feel that he was getting stronger, or should I say he was recovering? I only knew that the gap between him and me was constantly growing.
enlarge."
After a while of silence, Jim Watts said: "You have to find a way, right? You and I are not people who just sit back and wait for death..."
Ciel did not refute this, but sighed helplessly: "Having said that, there is no chance now. The spell he cast on us has not been lifted yet, and we don't even have the right to resist now.
In fact, until now, we don’t even know what his purpose is, he hasn’t paid much attention to us at all, he doesn’t take us to heart at all, he just treats us as a tool to deal with trivial matters.”
Looking at his accomplice who was making depressing remarks, James Watts couldn't help but smack his mouth. He felt the taste of wine in his mouth was slightly bitter, and he also felt a little downcast: "That's why I feel uneasy.
I don’t know what he is planning, but it can’t be a good thing. Once the result is revealed, it may be a fatal moment.”
"well……"
After another period of silence, Jem Watts, who felt that the meeting between the two was about to turn into a meeting of complaints, calmed down, put down the wine glass in his hand, his expression returned to his normal look, and said to Charles:
"Actually, you came just in time. Something big may happen here soon, and I need help."
Charles asked with some confusion: "What is it? Does it make you feel that there is not enough manpower?" After saying that, he took another sip of red wine.
Jim Watts smiled awkwardly at the other party's gaze and said, "There is credible news that people from the Crooked Spirit Society are hiding in the capital..."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the familiar cult organization, Charles, who was a cult leader not long ago, immediately understood that this matter was not simple, and his expression became serious. He silently put down the wine glass in his hand and wanted to swallow the drink in his mouth.
.
"They want to secretly hold a ritual to summon demons..."
"puff!!"
Upon hearing such bad news, the red wine in Charles's mouth immediately ran away and jumped out of his nostrils!
Just like a nosebleed that couldn't be stopped, the expensive clothes were immediately stained.
"Cough cough cough..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jim Watts helplessly handed over a mouth towel to wipe the other person's mouth.
"...Things are like this. I am very distressed now. I feel that the Principality of Marton may have to perish in my hands."
"Hiss~"
It is indeed possible, and the possibility is quite small.
Ciel wanted to say the above sentence, but in the end he just thought about it in his heart and did not really say it to attack Jim Watts.
Wiping his mouth and hands, Charles asked with some pain: "In that case, don't you have any clues about where they are hiding?"
He had just changed his identity, and he didn't want to become an exiled noble directly.
The meaning behind his words was that he wanted to directly deal with the people of the Wailing Society as soon as possible.
Jim spread his hands and said helplessly: "I think so too, but the key news that the people from the Crooked Spirit Society are preparing to conduct a summoning ceremony in the royal capital was revealed to me by people from the church. The more specific information seems to be even
They don't quite understand, so there may not necessarily be dignitaries in the royal capital who are covering up for the Wailing Spirit Society, and they are not ordinary dignitaries.
Even the royal family would find it difficult to find what those people had hidden.
Because you can never figure out how many dens a powerful family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has over time!
If there was enough time, it would be fine, but if there was not enough time, the demon would have been summoned long ago by the time the searches were over. By then, it would be too late. So, after paying some conditions, I obtained the church's promise to help.
.”
Charles frowned slightly: "Church? They are not easy to get along with, but they are indeed professionals in dealing with cults..."
"There is no other way. No matter how hard we get along, it is better than the coming of the devil. Even if the church overthrows the royal family in the future, when it hangs me, at least for the sake of the royal status, it will leave my whole body and replace it with a devil.
I guess only the dregs are left."
"That makes sense."
After hearing this, Charles immediately felt that it made sense and was completely unable to refute the other party.
So he asked: "...In that case, how do you want me to help you?"
"Just search their hiding place for me. As for the battle, you don't need to go out. In the land of the royal capital, as long as you know the specific location, unless the devil comes on the spot, absolutely no one can escape the siege of the Marton royal family.
.”
It’s really hard to say anything else in other places, but in the royal capital, Jim Watts is fully capable of dealing with any mortal, whether he is a spell caster or a great knight, and he has really revealed the truth and taken advantage of it.
The church that benefits from it always has to lend a hand, right?
Charles felt a little guilty: "But I don't have the manpower. How can I search the entire royal capital for you with just the few people I have now? It would be better to directly block the city with the army and conduct a blanket search."
In response, Jim Watts just waved his hand and said seriously:
"No! You are wrong!
Even if we have enough manpower, we may not be able to detect the problem at this moment. What I need now is something more professional, and you just have that kind of thing!"
Looking at his serious expression, Ciel was a little confused and said, "What? Do I own that kind of thing??"
"Of course you do!"
"Char, the Crooked Spirit Society is a cult organization that has been wanted all year round. They have been able to exist for so long. Naturally, they are good at hiding and their tracks are mysterious. It is unrealistic for ordinary people to find them by conventional methods. But you are different.
!
You are the famous high priest of the Mysterious Society, and you were able to avoid the church for more than ten years, with only sporadic traces of you being discovered by them.
It can be seen that in the field of 'how to evade detection as a cult member', you are definitely an expert among experts, a top person who can publish books!!
So what we need now is for you to use your professional expertise and use the 'cult hiding science' to select the areas you think are most suitable for hiding within the scope of the royal capital, and then go up one by one to search."
Seeing Jem Watts praising himself so highly, Ciel immediately wanted to give a speech of thanks to him: "I, he m..."
But then I thought about it, after all, the other person is my immediate boss. This status will require him to take more care of him in the future. Moreover, I am really a professional and definitely an authoritative figure in that field, so I forcibly held back the fragrance in my mouth.
, said calmly: "Forget it, give me the most detailed map of the royal capital and various related construction reports later, and I will point them out for you."
The demeanor of a master is clearly revealed, and he is obviously extremely confident.
Although he had previously wanted to clear his name, he almost forgot that he still had this expertise...
In response, Jim Watts just smiled and nodded:
"Then I'll trouble you. I'll ask my men to prepare maps and information first."
----------
Sitting on the carriage, he looked at Bishop Safi, whose face had been somewhat solemn since he left the residence of Crown Prince Jim Watts of the Principality of Marton.
As a senior priest of the church's heresy hunting center, Halliga felt something unusual.
After hesitating for a while, he asked cautiously: "Mr. Bishop, is there something wrong?"
Glancing at the other party, Safi shook her head slightly and sighed:
"There must be something, but I can't tell what it is exactly. Our Crown Prince Jim Watts is hiding something from us..."
The people on the carriage were all his confidantes brought from his own parish, so it didn't hurt to tell them something directly.
"Originally, I just wanted to use the upcoming incident of the devil to test Jem Watts' words and see if there was any chance to re-insert the power of our church, but our Crown Prince Jem Watts
They are too cooperative, as if they are giving us benefits.
I didn’t have time to tell him many things about the Wailing Spirit Society and explain the stakes clearly. He actually directly agreed to our church’s request to establish a diocese in the capital of the Duke of Marton.
This is really wrong, and it is simply unbelievable to the greedy nobles!
You must know that in order to expel our forces and consolidate their royal power, the Marton royal family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to seek help from other principalities. Jim Watts has no reason to destroy the achievements of his ancestors..."
After hearing this, Halliga also felt that something was wrong, but he had been immersed in the great cause of hunting down heretics and didn't know much about politics, so after some unsuccessful thinking, he casually replied: "Maybe it's because he offended the Principality of Yar.
Yes, it’s not necessarily necessary to win over an ally?”
In this regard, Safi directly denied: "It is impossible. Based on the relationship between royal families and churches in various countries, even if the Marton Principality wants to win over other forces as allies, it will never be the church's turn under normal circumstances, so he must have something important.
He kept it secret from us, and the establishment of the diocese was the bait he gave, a bait that even if I knew something was wrong, I would still bite it."
After finishing speaking, Safi said to another cleric beside him: "I will pass the message to Art later and ask him to bring all the best talents and sacred weapons from the Heretic Hunting Institute when he comes to the Kingdom of Marton.
I want to see what tricks Jem Watts wants to play with me. Since Jem Watts wants us to help him deal with the Society of Crooked Souls, then we will let him see the thousands of years of accumulation of the church..."
