Don't call me evil god

In the capital, the preliminary preparations for the performance are also in full swing.

The task of holding back Rune Monger requires a small contribution from Prince Fradin.

He will go to Monger Manor secretly without informing the outside world.

This is a very normal thing.

Prince Fradin likes to sneak out of the palace, which is something everyone knows.

Monger promised that Fradin could enter and exit his manor at will, which is also a fact.

The combination of the two created a perfect opportunity.

Hold back Rune Monger and cut off Monger's opportunity to obtain information from the outside world before the "performance" ends and the public opinion in the capital explodes completely.

Fradin accepted this task without hesitation.

Patting his chest hard, he promised in front of Pete and others:

"Don't worry! Unless I die, I promise to hold him tightly before your action is over, and will not let him leave the manor or contact other people!"

Looking at the prince with blood boiling, Pete said helplessly: "Don't, don't think so, the situation is not that serious yet!"

"We will act with you. If there is any unexpected situation, you must give priority to protecting yourself."

"You know that death is just the beginning of the next great adventure for us, but you can't do it now, you can't die."

Fladin calmed down a little and pursed his lips.

"Okay... I know."

"I hope things here can end quickly. My father promised me that I can go to the border of the kingdom with you to fight monsters and complete the trial to advance to level 4!"

...

On the other side.

After Pete and his team conveyed this plan to King Kenredin through Prince Fradin, the latter acquiesced to Pete and his team's actions and arranged for MI6 to participate.

The spies loyal to the royal family would disguise themselves in different identities in the capital:

Gossipy citizens who believed everything they heard;

Drunk guests in the tavern who boasted casually;

Bards who liked to tell exaggerated stories;

Merchants who came from other places to do business and trade;

Even dusty mercenaries and knowledgeable adventurers.

They would cleverly blend into the crowded squares, markets, taverns and other places in the capital, and spread some unfounded "rumors" in advance without leaving any trace.

Most of the content sounded like conspiracy theories or nonsense, and they were not very credible.

For example, Rune Monger had secretly used all the money invested in the Gilded Club to enjoy himself and indulge in pleasure, and now there was very little left;

Or Monger planned to secretly overthrow the royal family and become the new king of this country. To this end, he secretly recruited and trained a large number of people, and the money in the Gilded Club was used to train this secret army;

Or even more outrageous, Monger mastered an evil magic that gained life by refining gold, and all the gold coins collected by the Gilded Club were used to extend his life, so he could live to 91 years old, and he would live longer in the future. Relying on the huge amount of gold he refined, it was enough for him to live to 500 years old and enjoy himself in the mortal world.

There is no solid evidence for these statements.

Because the goal of the spies is to make enough rumors appear in the capital.

Cooperating with the news of the theft of the Gilded Club, try to exaggerate the "impression" that there may be problems with it.

Leave a trace in most people's minds.

In this way, when the performance is over and the fake "Lune Monger" is taken away, the news will spread, and the impression left in people's minds will be immediately activated, and then quickly turn into panic!

...

The Glorious God Cult has also made preparations in secret.

Harris Eugene himself, like King Kenreddin, will not show up in person.

Dolan's plan is a shady trick that breaks the moral bottom line.

Such a trick can be played by Pete and others, but not by the king and the archbishop.

Because it has the risk of failure after all.

Success is fine.

Once it fails, how to explain it?

Impersonate others and fabricate false evidence.

This is not something that the king and the archbishop can participate in.

As long as they don't show up directly in public, even if the plan fails, they can pretend to be unaware and get rid of the responsibility.

Claim that they are like Rune Monger and don't know that they are being impersonated.

But they have prepared the resources for cooperation in secret.

A complete elite Crusader Corps, with 5 supervisory priests and 1 cardinal who is Harris Eugene's confidant.

Such a luxurious lineup is already on standby in the holy land of the Glorious God Cult.

As long as the panic is formed and the truth of the Gilded Club's scam is completely exposed.

The Crusader has a reason to rush into Monger Manor under the pretext of investigating the cultists.

On the surface, they are going to investigate the cultists.

Secretly, it is to secretly capture the real Rune Monger.

In this way, according to Dolan's plan, when the entire operation of covering up the truth is over, Rune Monger will be directly captured in one fell swoop, turning the originally forged "Monger was taken away for investigation" into reality.

The rest is to find the information of the cultists related to him through interrogation and investigation!

The whole process is closely linked.

Everyone was assigned a role and a part in this performance.

As a person in the play, Rune Monger would be the only "actor" who was kept in the dark and forced to participate!

...

Soon.

As expected in the plan.

Rumors about Starosh spread everywhere.

Various "rumors" about the possible problems of the Gilded Club were all over the city.

Not only the citizens were talking about it.

Many nobles who actually invested a lot of gold coins in the Gilded Club were even more restless and uneasy.

They wanted to try to pay out the earnings in their accounts.

Anyway, as long as they could withdraw the money, they could just deposit it back immediately.

However, the announcement of suspension of payment issued by Rune Monger in advance blocked any possibility of trying to withdraw money.

The more difficult it is to withdraw the money safely, the more suspicious it is.

In the face of gold coins, especially a large amount of gold coins, even if the nobles have a good relationship with Rune Monger, they still have to settle accounts.

You help me make money, I have a good relationship with you, this is normal.

You are eyeing my gold coins, why should I have a good relationship with you?

Do you think I am a fool?

Many nobles began to inquire about the news openly and secretly.

Their actions are still effective.

At least it forced Rune Monger to personally issue a statement.

"Rumors stop at the wise, please rest assured, there is no problem with the Gilded Club, and the redemption will be opened normally after the stolen investment certificates are restored!"

Not long after this statement was issued.

Prince Fradin took Pete and his party to Monger Manor and "entangled" Rune Monger!

...

And!
