Chapter 92. Dekan Decided to Recruit Him

“…”

Both Dekan and Cornelia were terrifyingly quiet.

Especially Cornelia; she was greatly shocked.

She had originally thought that in the real world, it was impossible to make the meter run backward like in a Shadow World.

She never expected Flora’s brother to actually dare to do it!

Dekan also felt that he had misjudged him back then.

A hidden genius was right beside me…

If he had known about Morion’s good deeds earlier, he would have found a way to take care of this person back in his hometown!

At least when they were in the border town, Morion didn’t have that super-strong elf by his side. It was very likely they had already separated.

In that case, Dekan could still have taken Morion down.

“Although Uncle Hanover has issued a bounty, he must be brought back alive…”

Teresia added with some concern.

“He even has to be kept alive. The Earl is truly a benevolent and honest man!”

Dekan exclaimed in amazement.

He had thought the official bounty was the kind where life or death didn’t matter.

If this rebellious son was kept around, the next internal conflict in the territory was only a matter of time.

“De…”

“Cor…”

Dekan and Cornelia looked at each other and both nodded.

The Happy Church needed a missionary.

Or a large sum of money.

Either recruit him or cash him in; the decision was made.

“…”

Teresia’s expression was extremely complicated.

She already understood that Dekan and Cornelia had their eyes on Morion.

In fact, she wasn’t sure if a clash between Dekan, Cornelia, and Morion would result in mutual destruction.

Because she couldn’t say for sure who was more skilled in the art of being sinister.

Of course, the worst-case scenario would be the three of them forming an alliance.

That would be a disaster beyond imagination.

Seeing Teresia’s conflicted look, Dekan smiled helplessly and said:

“Don’t worry, Teresia, tell me. I won’t harm Morion. Our team is in need of a merchant, and he is an indispensable talent for us.”

“Need a merchant?”

Teresia’s expression worsened.

What kind of proper dungeoneering team would specifically recruit someone of that profession?

You must be planning to run some side businesses with him, right?!

Things were finally developing in the direction she had feared the most.

She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, she still shook her head.

“Wait for me a moment.”

Teresia went into her bedroom, took out a letter, and handed it to Dekan.

“This is a letter Morion sent me at the beginning of the school year. If he really becomes your companion, please help him out as well.”

Teresia said with a worried expression.

Dekan nodded and opened the letter.

Cornelia and Flora, who were beside him, also leaned in a little closer to read it.

【To my dear friend Teresia,】

【I presume you have already found that miraculous card maker.】

【In my eyes, he is an unimaginable money tree, but alas, I have no fate with him.】

【Although his card-playing etiquette is extremely poor, his character is decent. A sincere and kind person like you will surely become good friends with him.】

…

【Recently, the Resurrection Church’s pursuit of me has become more and more intense, and I have had no choice but to flee to the southern nations.】

【I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to the Norton Kingdom for a long time. Please help me look after Flora.】

【Please note, there are members of the Resurrection Church in the Royal Capital; of this, I am certain.】

【Their identities are perfectly disguised, and it is almost impossible to find their flaws through conventional means.】

【Although the security in the Royal Capital is very good, and there will be guards from the family to protect Flora outside the school.】

【However, my investigation indicates that there is likely a member of the Resurrection Church with an extremely noble status within Heavenlit Academy.】

【Of course, that high-ranking member is unlikely to personally act against Flora and expose their identity.】

【But as I continue to profit from the Resurrection Church’s wealth in Shadow Worlds, they may try every means to control Flora in order to restrain me.】

【The Resurrection Church’s methods are more likely to be bewitching some frustrated students to obtain usable pawns.】

【Whether my father believes it or not, please help me pass on the following information related to the Resurrection Church to him.】

【May you revive your family soon.】

Dekan put down the letter, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Is this kid an information broker?” he murmured.

But on second thought, it was possible that key members of the Resurrection Church had already been bribed by Morion.

It was reasonable that he could obtain some confidential information.

After all, Morion had done such things in the past.

Several pieces of information in the letter regarding the Resurrection Church had been proven correct by Morion.

It was just that Morion probably hadn’t expected Dekan to have actually succeeded in capturing a member of the Resurrection Church lurking in the Royal Capital.

Then the information that “there is a member of the Resurrection Church in the academy” was likely eighty to ninety percent true.

“So, if you want to find Morion, your only hope is to go to the southern nations, but it’s almost like finding a needle in a haystack.”

Teresia said helplessly.

Dekan thought for a moment.

Cornelia’s hometown was a small kingdom in the south.

They had also agreed to go there to play together in the future.

But it was impossible to skip class and go abroad right now.

Moreover, even the Resurrection Church, with its vast influence, couldn’t catch Morion. It was even more impossible for the two of them alone to track down Morion’s whereabouts.

However, their goal was no longer to capture Morion himself.

As long as they could meet Morion, it would be enough.

“No… I have a way to find him.”

Dekan returned the letter to Teresia, his expression gradually unable to contain his excitement.

There was a very important sentence in Morion’s letter—

He was constantly “profiting from” the Resurrection Church’s wealth in Shadow Worlds.

This indicated that Morion frequently found entrances to challenge Shadow Worlds.

And he could encounter members of the Resurrection Church with high frequency!

So, conversely, the Resurrection Church likely also had a method to encounter Morion.

To find Morion, he would still have to rely on the Resurrection Church.

Coincidentally, Dekan had an undercover agent lurking in the Resurrection Church—Urola!

All he had to do today was to post a lost-and-found notice in the newspaper, arrange a meeting point with Urola, and he could ask her for information tomorrow.

Her status in the Resurrection Church was not particularly high, but it wasn’t low either.

The Resurrection Church must have tracked Morion in the Royal Capital before. Urola would more or less have some information about Morion.

“Thank you, Teresia!”

“Dekan, you need to think carefully. Morion’s situation is not that simple. If you get involved with him openly, you will be deeply mired in trouble too!”

Teresia looked at Dekan with some concern.

Although Dekan had defeated members of the Resurrection Church twice in a row in Shadow Worlds.

But to truly confront such a huge organization in the real world was far beyond what students like them could do.

“Don’t worry, there’s only one thing Morion’s letter got wrong.”

Dekan smiled triumphantly,

“Not only do we have a connection, but we are also the same kind of people.”

Making money off the Resurrection Church.

When it came to this, Dekan was wide awake!
