There is no problem with the magic cards I made

He didn't know how the Holy Rite Church judged the seriousness of the two incidents of "the missing high priest" and "the destruction of the bridge".

Only a priest from Dekan was sent to investigate. Is this case being taken too lightly?

Of course, after all, Dekan knows the story background of the Shadow World, and he can be sure that changes will happen in the future.

The Blessed Sacrament Church did not know this key spoiler information.

"Can you please take me to see the damaged bridge?"

"Come with me."

At Dekan's request, the mayor took Dekan to a cliff not far from the town to watch.

Even before he reached the edge of the cliff, Dekan could feel the strong visual impact of looking down the 100-meter cliff.

He took a closer look at the damaged bridge.

Although the broken bridge looks like it was destroyed from the middle.

But if you analyze it, you will find that the break does not look like it was caused by physical attacks.

Instead, someone standing on one side of the bridge used powerful magic to completely destroy the central part of the bridge, and then gradually collapsed.

It seems like someone wants to prevent people in the small town from quickly establishing connections with the city-state.

Dekan seemed not to be satisfied with watching from a distance, and took a few more steps towards the cliff until he stepped on the edge of the cliff.

"be careful!"

The mayor is not worried about Dekan, but simply does not want anything to happen to the priest in the town.

But Durkan just wanted to confirm his favorite high-altitude terrain.

He looked down the cliff. In addition to steep natural rock walls and sparse plants, there were only thin and narrow paths on both sides of the cliff, and the center was occupied by a rapid stream.

If you accidentally fall down, you may not die, but you don’t know where you will be swept away by the river.

Dekan stepped back from the edge of the cliff, looking thoughtful.

He found the existence of this rapid to be an obstruction and banned the terrain.

It would be best if there were rocks or even thorns under the cliff.

"Can this bridge be repaired?"

Dekan asked, looking at the mayor.

"The knights we sent to the city-state also notified the engineering contractor who was repairing the bridge, but the engineering contractor looked at the other end of the bridge and said that he seemed to want to come here to inspect the situation. They should be in town today at the latest."

While the mayor was talking, there seemed to be some movement in the forest on the other side.

Then, Dekan and the mayor looked around and saw a large group of carriages appearing on the other side of the cliff.

Except for a few guards, the rest were engineers and workers, looking like a professional engineering team.

They had brought the manpower and various materials and seemed ready to start work at any time.

Next, the two leaders rode a small flying dragon across the cliff to the town.

"By the way, why don't I get this kind of treatment?"

"Oh, is it possible that the church will equip you with a flying dragon just because of this special situation?"

The mayor made no secret of his disdain for Durkan.

The flying dragon of the Chamber of Commerce is obviously worth a lot of money.

If it doesn't have a special purpose, I'm afraid it won't be used easily.

The two people who landed from the flying dragon were a middle-aged man and an ordinary-looking guard.

The middle-aged man should be the engineer who is coming to this end of the bridge to observe carefully.

Moreover, he will also give a quotation based on the situation, sign a contract with the mayor, and collect a deposit.

When the mayor saw the engineer, a rare smile appeared on his face.

Then he looked at Dekan and asked:

"Mr. Priest, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to avoid it?"

Dekan frowned under the mask. He had given in again and again.

If Cornelia were here, he really wanted to tie the mayor to the church and make him confess.

"The bridge is related to my investigation mission. The engineer's analysis of the bridge is likely to help me deduce the truth, so please let me continue to accompany you."

Durkan replied.

"Then let's go together."

The mayor snorted softly in an undetectable voice, and then said perfunctorily.

"Mr. Priest, if there is anything I can do to help you, please feel free to ask."

On the contrary, the engineer's attitude towards Dekan was very friendly and respectful.

Even though the priest's appearance is a bit... weird, since the mayor didn't question anything, it's obvious that this is a genuine priest.

After all, no one dares to pretend to be a priest of the Holy Rite Church easily.

Dekan noticed that the moment the guard beside the engineer saw him, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

It seems that he can see that this [Red Mask] is a magic card product that does not belong to this world.

Even if it was just a little bit moving, it was still captured by Dekan.

Durkan was convinced that the escort was a challenger.

The guard could have concealed the emotion in his eyes.

But maybe it was because Dekan's current appearance was so outrageous that the guard didn't stop for a moment.

The engineer quickly completed the assessment of the condition of the bridge and made an offer of 300 holy gold coins to the mayor.

The mayor decisively took out 100 holy gold coins as a deposit.

Just as the engineer was preparing to return to the other end of the bridge with his escort.

"I found that the old church also needs to be repaired. Can you please come and have a look?"

Durkan suddenly asked the engineer.

"No problem, Mr. Priest."

Of course the engineer responded kindly.

So under the leadership of Dekan, the four of them went to the church together.

Under the mask, Dekan's mouth gradually couldn't hide the smile.

The key information has been collected, and it's time to start killing.

This hundred holy gold coins can be said to be a good activity fund, enough for him to go to the city-state to fully advance the mission.

By the way, you can also "borrow" the flying dragon and quickly rush to the city-state to find Cornelia.

The moment everyone walks into the church.

Dekan immediately closed the door and used [Hypnotic Gas], then held his breath, reached under the mask and covered his mouth and nose.

He wanted to knock down the other three people invisibly as soon as possible.

However.

Dekan was surprised to find that the guard also covered his mouth and nose very skillfully!

even……

He also used a [Hypnotic Gas]!

The movements of the two people were surprisingly consistent.

It seems that even the idea of ​​​​committing the crime is the same!

There is no doubt that the [Hypnotic Gas] in the guard's hands is also produced by Dekan.

He had only sold this card in his hometown town!

Although the guard disguised his appearance, Dekan already knew who he was!

Both of them covered their mouths and noses and looked at each other with disdain.

Then the guard showed a relieved expression and shook his head helplessly.

I saw his appearance change.

It seemed that he had taken off his disguise and transformed into a young male.

"It turns out to be you. I didn't expect to meet you here."

The slightly familiar voice didn't surprise Durkan.

Because when Dekan saw the [Hypnotic Gas], he guessed that this guy was Morion.

"Unscrupulous profiteer, you are really lucky that you are still alive."

Dekan said unceremoniously.

"To each other, the unscrupulous card makers of the border town."

The pear-colored young man had his usual casual smile on his face.

He has always been like this, his attitude towards people is at ease.

Everything he did before he tricked people was smooth and decent, and his face was good-looking.

Although Morion's expression was smiling, his eyes never showed much smile.

He has both an inexplicable affinity and a vague sense of danger. Some people will be attracted to him due to this contradiction.

Even now Durkan is wearing a mask.

Morion also recognized that the strange priest in front of him was Dekan.

However, Dekan said nothing at this moment.

Morion seemed to be staring at death.

"Don't be so terrible. Our business is fair and just, but I made a little profit."

Morion felt some evil aura from Dekan, and quickly raised his hands as if to show off.

He knew why Dekan was angry.

It’s nothing more than a problem with that group of [violent bandit goblins].

"Really just a little bit?"

Dekan seemed to find Morion's words a bit funny and asked.

"It's absolutely true. Let me do the math for you..."

As he spoke, Morion took out a small ledger from his pocket and began to write and draw in it.

And he kept talking about: the price difference between the border and the royal capital, market supply and demand, transportation and sales costs, investment risks, etc.

"..."

Dekan said nothing.

But he has gradually clenched his fists.

Because the more he heard, the more something was wrong.

Dekan actually had an illusion——

He felt that Morion was not settling accounts, but as if he was preparing to issue a ticket!

"Wait a minute, if you continue to calculate like this, are you afraid that I will still owe you money?"
