Chapter 69. Dekan Founds a Church

Cloix’s expression was full of conflict, but in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh helplessly.

This was the first time a teammate had asked him to use his magic without any reservations.

It was very strange.

He, who had been mired in self-loathing since he was a child, was also experiencing the feeling of “heaven has a purpose for me” for the first time.

After the treatment, the woman’s clothes were soaked.

Her face was covered in tears, and tears mixed with sweat kept sliding down her cheeks.

Although her eyes were much emptier, there seemed to be a spark still flickering within them.

It was a signal from her soul, a will to live.

“How about it, want to continue? Next is wind magic. Let you experience the feeling of having all your flesh cut, and of course, it’s 20 times the pain.”

I asked with a smile.

Cloix’s attack magic wouldn’t cause substantial damage or physical destruction; it would all be converted into an equivalent amount of healing.

This was also the reason why Cloix’s healing output as a healer was explosive.

Without considering other functionalities, his healing output was several times higher than that of a priest of the same rank.

But Cloix’s healing was extremely painful.

For example, his fire magic wouldn’t leave burns, but his teammates would have to endure the full pain of being burned by fire.

His wind magic wouldn’t cut a person’s body, but it would allow a person to clearly experience the pain of having their body cut while they were still alive.

This had always been considered one of Cloix’s side effects.

But in my eyes, this was Cloix’s greatest talent!

I even helped Cloix amplify this pain to 20 times.

“Wuwu!”

The woman shook her head frantically.

She didn’t want to suffer that kind of torture for another second.

“Alright, then let’s talk again.”

With my command, Cornelia pulled the towel from the woman’s mouth.

Instantly, she was like a person who had just been rescued from drowning, gasping for air.

I didn’t rush to ask her anything, giving her some time to recover.

Only when I was sure she had caught her breath did I start asking questions.

The scribe, Cloix, at the side was also ready.

“What’s your name?”

“…Urola.”

“Age.”

“…24.”

“Answer quickly. Do you know what time it is? Making us teenagers stay up all night with you, can your conscience be at ease?”

“???”

Are you f*cking doing what a teenager should be doing?

“Your undercover identity in the Royal Capital, your address, your position in the Resurrection Church, your superiors, and all the internal information you know. I advise you not to lie, otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

...

Next was an hour-long interrogation.

Urola became extremely cooperative and confessed a lot of information.

The Resurrection Church had multiple strongholds in the Norton Kingdom, with the largest one located in a border city.

But the location was always changing, and Urola didn’t know where the main stronghold was.

Because the Resurrection Church didn't dare to infiltrate the Norton Royal Capital, which was full of powerful people, they only planted a few intelligence agents in the Royal Capital.

They didn’t know each other’s identities and usually looked no different from ordinary civilians.

Only one superior had a one-on-one, single-line contact with them.

And now their primary goal in the Norton Kingdom was to win me over.

Or if it was determined that I had no intention of joining, they would try every means to get rid of me.

“Interesting. I only occasionally had the thought of getting rid of the Resurrection Church, but they actually targeted me directly. The wicked are truly the first to strike.”

I muttered to myself, holding my chin.

This sentence startled Cloix.

“Dekan, you’re not joking? You really want to eradicate the Resurrection Church?”

“Of course. How else can we solve the problem once and for all?”

Cloix’s mouth was open, but he couldn’t say a word for a long time.

The Resurrection Church was an evil ancient organization that even the Kingdom Federation had a headache dealing with.

As an individual, it was already not easy to avoid being disturbed by them.

And I actually wanted to take them all down from the very beginning!

But soon, Cloix’s expression became serious.

“Dekan, if you’re serious, I will definitely help you. I am already at odds with them! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it’s a deep-seated hatred. It’s just that I’ve always felt that I don’t have this ability…”

But now, there was someone here who could fully utilize his abilities.

“Then it’s decided. Let’s set a small goal: eradicate the Resurrection Church. What about you, Cornelia?”

“Do it!”

Listening to the conversation of these three, Urola’s back began to break out in a cold sweat again. The clothes sticking to her body made her even more uncomfortable.

If these three people were not crazy, they would definitely be the biggest disaster since the establishment of the Resurrection Church.

I suddenly remembered something.

I took out a syringe of potion and walked up to Urola.

Urola’s eyes once again became filled with terror.

Was he really going to kill her to silence her?

“Don’t worry, this is a truth serum. I will ask you the same questions again to confirm the accuracy of the information.”

“Why didn’t you use it earlier?!”

“I just wanted to give you a chance to confess first, to see if you have the potential for development.”

On the one hand, I wasn't sure if the effect of this potion was reliable.

On the other hand, I wanted to test if Urola had truly surrendered to them from the bottom of her heart just now.

After speaking, I injected Urola with the potion made by Mi’e.

Urola didn’t struggle; she had already given up any resistance.

In the following time, I asked the questions from beginning to end again based on the interrogation records previously taken by Cloix.

“Alright, except for understating her age by three years, everything else is true.”

My words brought a trace of color back to Urola’s pale face.

But her eyes held a hint of shame and anger.

“Originally, you only had one choice—to go to the Royal Capital prison.”

“Of course, your end result would probably be being sent to the Kingdom Federation to be interrogated again.”

“Although their interrogation is countless times milder than ours, they definitely wouldn’t be as easy to talk to as us.”

The corner of Urola’s mouth twitched.

She had never seen such an “easy to talk to” person.

“But because of your honesty, you now have another choice.”

“You can also join our church, and then I will let you go directly.”

I continued.

Then I looked at Urola and waited for her to state her position.

Urola seemed to doubt if she had misheard something.

“Your church?”

“Yes, our 【Happy Church】 believes in love and peace, and our goal is to bring smiles to everyone. If you choose to join, you will be our church’s high-level intelligence agent lurking in the Resurrection Church. I will also do my best to cooperate with you and help you climb higher and higher.”
