Mage Tower, Dormitory 601.

On the simple-looking desk, there are several pieces of draft paper scattered randomly with scrawled writings and scribbles on them. It has obviously been revised, added, deleted and adjusted many times.

Allen sat at the desk and quietly read the contents on the paper.

I saw it said:

"As we all know, changing the deep-rooted prejudices in a person's heart is more difficult than moving mountains.

"Therefore, when I came out of the library, I have been thinking about a question: How should I develop followers of the Dark Temple in the Braden Kingdom where the Light Church is at its peak?

"It would be easy to simply overthrow the Church of Light.

"I just need to find a place without people and practice quietly for decades. With the memory of my predecessor and the "Origin", it is not difficult to return to the peak of the year. After I come back, just like the Church of Light purges heretics,

Kill all the people who believe in the goddess of light, and the problem will be solved.

"But it's of no use to me.

"What I need is devout faith, not a pile of corpses.

"Therefore, I must change the outdated concepts in people's minds and let them understand that darkness does not equal evil, and light does not equal justice.

"The position of black and white only exists on the stage of drama. But in reality, light and darkness are just attributes of power, not signs of distinguishing good from evil.

"Of course, this is a long process.

"Just like in chess, what I need to look for is not a perfect move, but a complete plan.

"My plan is divided into three steps:

“The first step is to tear off the hypocritical mask of the Light Church;

“The second step is to show the positive image of the Dark Temple;

"The third step is to use the power of state power to turn the Dark Temple into orthodoxy.

"To be honest, the first step is actually not easy to complete. Although the Light Church's tax revenue is increasing day by day, history tells us that the people are very fearful creatures. As long as they can have a little food and clothing, they would rather live an ignoble existence than do anything.

Rise up and resist.

"Besides, the followers of the Church of Light are everywhere, and their spies are everywhere. If I make any big move, I will definitely be targeted.

"I spent a lot of time thinking about how to complete the first step of the plan.

"When I noticed Yak Nelga, a brilliant idea finally came to my mind.

"Yak Nelga, who came from a humble background, relied on betrayal and murder to enter the Church of Light. He does things unscrupulously, but he always counts every penny and lacks structure. As for his subordinates or colleagues, as long as they block his way, he will kill them at all costs.

Get rid of them; and for his superiors, he always flatters them in a stupid way.

"Because of this, he is now riddled with crimes and stained with misdeeds.

“I was once very curious as to why the Pope would put a bastard like him in the position of Archbishop of the Kingdom of Braden and delay in removing him.

"But now I think about it, the Pope doesn't want a subordinate who can do something on his own, he just wants a tool that can be handy, just like the kings in ancient times would deliberately use some villains.

"These 'villains' usually help them do things that may affect their reputation; when necessary, they can be asked to take the blame, and they can be easily disposed of by finding any excuse.

"I guess that's what the Pope has in mind.

"Recently, within the Braden Kingdom, there have been many conflicts between the old and new parties. The royal family and the church do not like each other. In addition, the Dark Temple suddenly started to cause trouble. Without the Light Church using some drastic measures, it will be difficult to stabilize the situation.

“It’s a pity that the Pope overestimated Nerga’s IQ and structure.

"In my opinion, a person like Nerga is not suitable to be alone at all. He is only suitable to be a bitch, help his master make money, and do some shady things.

"As the saying goes, playing chess is a battle with mistakes.

"Since my opponent made a wrong move, what I need to do is to seize this flaw, magnify it, magnify it, and magnify it again until it affects the outcome of the entire game.

"I plan to use Nerga as a typical example of the negative image of the Church of Light, and present it to the people of the Kingdom of Braden in a dramatic way.

"Dramatize! Dramatize! Dramatize! Say important things three times!

"Ordinary evil is impossible to attract public interest. In the Braden Kingdom, people do illegal and criminal things every day, but who has the mind to pay attention to the boring interrogation process of those cases?

"For most people, even if they are caught on the jury, they have to find ways to escape, let alone care about a case that is far away.

"Therefore, I had to turn a simple interrogation into a wonderful performance. It had to be unique, artistic and ritualistic, and be able to amaze, shock, and frighten people.

"As for the theme of the script, it can be decided based on the materials I find.

“So the next thing to do is to collect materials.

"The first material is not hard to find.

"Isabella told me that Soren Arande, the magistrate of the Northern Tribunal, did not die in the explosion. On the contrary, he escaped through the teleportation array when the trial house was about to collapse.

"This is very different from what Archbishop Nerga said to the outside world.

"What Nerga declared to the outside world was, 'Thoron Arande colluded with the Black Temple, betrayed his colleagues, and eventually died of injuries.'

"There are many doubts. Nerga obviously lied about this matter.

"As for why he lied, I have a bold guess.

"Logically speaking, the 'Holy Light Array' of the Northern Tribunal can suppress or even imprison all powers, including magic, divine arts, physical strength, etc.

"But in the past two years, Isabella has been able to change her appearance and deceive everyone in the trial, which obviously means that there is a loophole in the 'Holy Light Array'.

“The Dark Temple was able to easily break into the Tribunal, largely because of this loophole.

"And Sauron Arande, after this battle, must know the existence of the vulnerability, and may even know the cause of the vulnerability.

"So, why is there a loophole in the 'Holy Light Array'? Could this be the reason why Nerga chose to lie?

"So, I asked Butler Fred to find more information about the 'Holy Light Array', not only its attributes and functions, but also its construction history, investors, repair process, etc.

"Butler Fred told me that when my father, Earl William, donated 50,000 pounds to the Church of Light, someone proposed that the money be used to strengthen the 'Holy Light Array' in the Tribunal. As for whether the money was of any use.

On the 'Holy Light Array', he had no idea.

"However, as a donor, I am qualified to check the whereabouts of the money, and I do not need to register it.

"I checked quickly. I checked through Howard without alerting Nelga.

"As expected, Archbishop Nerga made false accounts and used the money to please the Pope.

"I have to complain, Archbishop Nelga's skills in making false accounts are really poor. People like me who have only read introductory accounting textbooks can see through it at a glance. I guess the reason why he has not done so for so long

Exposed, probably no one else dares to check his accounts!

“As for Sauron, he was killed by Archbishop Nerga in private, probably because he knew this secret.

"When I went to see Howard one Wednesday, my suspicions were confirmed by the undried blood on the floor tiles of Hagia Sophia.

"Actually, at that time, I used my improved retrospection magic to see Sauron's death process through the blood stains, and even the scene of Nelga disposing of the body later.

"But in order to make the trial more convincing, I took Butler Fred to the mountains to find Sauron's urn. After all, images can be faked, but the real thing doesn't lie.

“That’s it, I prepared the first material for the script.

"...

“As for the second source, it’s a little harder to find.

"As far as I know, the Pope sent an envoy named Clark to the capital of the Kingdom of Braden. Nerga's attitude towards the Pope's envoy was quite respectful.

"But Envoy Clark didn't stay here for long. It seemed that he simply handed over some tasks and then left.

"One of the tasks is to invite Howard to join the Church of Light.

"As for other tasks, I'm not sure.

"However, based on the intelligence collected by the family from all over the country, I discovered that since the departure of Messenger Clark, the frequency of the Sistine Prime Minister entering and exiting Hagia Sophia has doubled, and Alexandria personnel have been frequently mobilized, and ships bound for the Kingdom of Ferrand have

It has become more numerous.

"These abnormal data made me suspicious.

"However, what really made me suspicious was what Teacher Wald said to me unintentionally.

"Mr. Walder once approached the Minister of Maritime Affairs and expressed his wish to stay in the warehouse where the magic cannon is installed for a few days to study the alchemy skills of the magic cannon. However, the Minister of Maritime Affairs told him that the warehouse was recently occupied by an officer from Alexandria.

The officer hoped to have a deeper understanding of the properties of the magic cannon so as to devise new tactics.

"I'm a person who doesn't want to believe in coincidences.

"When all kinds of doubts were added up, I firmly believed that there must be a ghost in Alexandria.

"So, I asked Saint Isabella to pretend to be Major General Hans's new secretary and go to Alexandria to gather information for me.

"The white rose she pinned to her chest has been given the magic of communication by me. As long as the rose is there, we can contact each other anytime, anywhere, exchange information, and flexibly adjust our plans.

"Isabella lived up to her trust and discovered the safe where Major General Hans hid his secrets.

"In order to help her open the safe, I specially designed the spell 'Master Key'. This way, Isabella, who doesn't know magic, can still use magic to open the safe.

"In this way, I successfully obtained the letters between Prime Minister Sistine and Major General Hans.

"Relying on these letters, I can undoubtedly make a big fuss. I can oust the Prime Minister. I can use the Prime Minister to deal with Nerga, and I can see all the ugly things Nerga does.

"To give the simplest example: I guessed that after the secret was leaked, Nerga would definitely kill Prime Minister Sistine to silence him. So, I sent Isabella to act as a passerby of all kinds and lurk around the Prime Minister. The result was as expected.

As expected, the assassination actually happened, twice more.

"...

“And the third piece of material is very interesting.

"It was this interesting material that made me decide to title the script 'The Seven Deadly Sins'.

"Think about it, a Archbishop of the Church of Light committed the seven deadly sins in the "Light Canon". How ironic and dramatic is this?
