Chapter 370: Volume 7: Spring Thunder Awakens the Hibernating Creatures, Chapter 5: Demons’ Dance of Chaos

Alone in his guest room, Green, with his eyes closed in deep thought, could sense his partner’s displeasure from the sound of footsteps approaching from far away. When the door was pushed open, the combined scent of murderous intent and magic power that hit him was further proof of his judgment. It seemed that his partner was up to something again today, but he didn’t know who the unlucky victim would be this time. His partner almost always brought trouble with each outing, but it was exactly this that had established his notoriety as the Knight Murder King among the knights regiment, as well as ingrained a deep hatred for him among the dark practitioners.

"What’s the matter? Did you encounter another valuable lead?" Glancing indifferently at his companion, Green picked up a shiny cup and took a sip. Water was the best holy item to wash away the dust, both common and indispensable. Green practiced asceticism; only by controlling his inner desires could he truly master himself and walk farther on the path of cultivating the Supreme Bright Path.

"Green, it seems we have indeed come to the right place this time, Caucasus is indeed not simple. All kinds of ghosts and spirits have emerged during this period of time. Just now, I encountered two brash Great Mysterium Devotees flaunting themselves in the city. After a slight contact, I didn’t expect that these two fellows would be quite tricky, and they managed to slip away. However, I’m sure they have not left Ugru yet," Jep’s eyes were always twinkling with bright light, his boundless vitality and enthusiasm were fully visible through those eyes.

"Oh? The Great Mysterium Sect? They’ve reached out their hands here too?!" Green was also surprised, but then he thought, if the Great Mysterium Sect dared to penetrate into Rosenborg, the heartland of the Continent, then Caucasus, being a newly developed land flooded with over a hundred thousand immigrants and still increasing, was an opportunity the Great Mysterium Sect would not miss. Moreover, the identity of the new local lord was unclear; if the Great Mysterium Sect colluded with this new lord, not only would completing their mission be far in the future, but Caucasus might also turn into a bridgehead for the Great Mysterium Sect to invade Nicosia and even the entire Northern Alliance. Knight Green pondered for a while and then stroked the sword sheath by his side: "What are your thoughts?"

"To nip the enemy in the bud, I think we can, on one hand, state our reasons to that lord and request an immediate comprehensive investigation of Ugru to prevent the Great Mysterium Devotee from slipping through the net. At the very least, we should force them out of this land. On the other hand, I think it’s necessary for us to report the situation here to our corps commander and even the Archbishop. If we let the Great Mysterium Sect breed and spread freely here, I’m afraid it won’t be long before this land changes, and the mission given to us will also be unachievable. However, our current strength is too weak to cope with the complicated situation on this land." Despite Jep’s self-confidence, he wasn’t someone who was reckless; he never underestimated his enemies, "Green, we met with the lord together last time. The two friends who were present with him, I also feel there’s something off about them. They were clearly suppressing their own power. If they were just ordinary mages, why would they need to suppress or hide their abilities when seeing us? We just haven’t had the opportunity to interact further to learn anything more valuable."

"So, Jep, do you think there’s anything wrong with this lord?" Green didn’t answer his question but instead asked him one.

After hesitating for a moment, Jep was also uncertain, "Logically, there shouldn’t be any problems. When I shook hands with him, I had already initiated the Spiritual Sense Probe. Even if he had the intention to conceal, he should not be able to escape my detection, but I got nothing. Although he contains considerable magic power, I can assert that it’s elemental magic power, and the fire elemental magic power is especially solid. However, indeed, I haven’t detected any hint of darkness. This feeling, on the contrary, makes me doubt; is he really that clean? My intuition tells me it shouldn’t be the case."

"Intuition? But intuition can’t serve as evidence. We can’t use our intuition as evidence when reporting to the corps commander and the Archbishop. My feeling is the same as yours, my Light Spirit Eye found nothing, like throwing stones into the sea without result, but my intuition disagrees. If it were someone else, perhaps we could take special measures, but we cannot do so with this person; his identity does not allow us to act recklessly. Moreover, he is a mage himself, and those two guys by his side are not to be trifled with. I’m afraid even the corps commander and the Archbishop would find it difficult to make decisions after hearing our report." Green sighed softly, a hint of melancholy showing on his usually tranquil face, "As for your suggestion of asking for his help to investigate the Great Mysterium Sect, I think it’s unworkable. Right now, we can’t even ascertain the lord’s identity. If we rashly make such a request, it will only serve to scare the snake, which is far from wise."

"Then what do you suggest...?" Jep held great respect for his partner. Green’s wisdom was also one of the few counted upon in the entire knights regiment. It was because of his calm insight that Captain Kent had assigned such a difficult task to him.

"First, we should report the current situation here to the corps commander and the Archbishop. No matter from which angle, our Church of Light should not give up on this place. I believe the higher-ups will make a reasonable arrangement. As for our own mission, I think this lord is not one to sit still. With demons dancing around, I want to see what else he can do!" Green’s resolute face showed an unyielding spirit, brightened by the warm sunshine, it looked exceptionally clear.
