There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

It only takes a few hours to get from the town to the city-state if you cross the bridge.

If you take a long detour, you will pass through the staggering mountain road, and it will take about two days to reach the city-state.

So after the townspeople discovered that the great priest Kevin was missing and the bridge was destroyed, the knights in the town rushed to the city-state quickly.

But it took two full days to successfully communicate the situation.

It took another two days for Durkan sent by the church to arrive in the town.

After listening to the mayor's narration, Durkan couldn't help but feel a little out of harmony.

He didn't know how the Church of the Sacred Rites judged the seriousness of the "missing high priest" and "the destruction of the bridge".

Sending only a priest from Dekan to investigate, is it a little too light on this incident?

Of course, after all, Durkan knows the story background of Shadow World, and he can be sure that there will be changes in the follow-up.

The Church of the Holy Liturgy was unaware of this critical spoiler.

"Could you please show me the damaged bridge?"

"Come with me."

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

Even before reaching the edge of the cliff, Durkan can feel the strong visual impact of looking down the [-]-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 is not like a physical attack.

Instead, the person standing on one side of the bridge destroyed the central part of the bridge in one piece with powerful magic, and then gradually collapsed.

It's like someone who wants to prevent the people in the small town from quickly establishing contact with the city-state.

Durkan seemed dissatisfied with watching from a distance, and walked a few steps towards the edge of the cliff until he stepped on the edge of the cliff.

"be careful!"

The mayor is not worried about Durkan, but simply does not want the priest to have an accident in the town.

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

He looked down the cliff, except for the steep natural rock walls and sparse plants, there were only thin and narrow trails on both sides of the cliff, and the center was occupied by a rapid current.

If you accidentally fall, you may not die, but you don't know where you will be washed by the river.

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

He felt that the existence of the rapids was in the way, and he killed the terrain to ban.

It would be great if there are rocks or even ground thorns under the cliff.

"Can this bridge be repaired?"

Durkan looked at the mayor and asked.

"The knights we sent to the city-state also notified the engineering company who repaired the bridge, but the engineering company looked at the other side of the bridge and said that it seemed that they would come here to investigate the situation. They should arrive in the town today at the latest."

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

Then, Durkan 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 are engineers and workers, looking like a professional engineering team.

They have brought their manpower and various materials, and they seem to be ready to start work at any time.

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

"By the way, why am I not treated like this?"

"Heh, is it possible that the church will give you 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 valuable.

If it wasn't for a special purpose, I'm afraid it wouldn't be used easily.

The two 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 the side of the bridge to observe carefully.

And he will also give a quotation according to the situation, sign a contract with the mayor, and collect a deposit.

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

Then he looked at Durkan and asked:

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

Durkan frowned under the mask, he had already borne it repeatedly.

If Cornelia was here, he would really like to tie the mayor to 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 with you."

Durkan replied.

"Then let's go together."

The mayor snorted softly, and then said perfunctorily.

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

On the contrary, the engineer's attitude towards Durkan is very friendly and respectful.

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

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

Durkan noticed that the moment the guards around the engineer saw him, there was a trace of surprise in their eyes.

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

Even if it was just a little moved, it was still captured by Durkan.

Durkan was convinced that the guard was a challenger.

The guard could have concealed the emotion in his eyes.

But maybe it's because Durkan's current look is too messy, which caused the guard to not collapse for a moment.

The engineer quickly completed his appraisal of the condition of the bridge and made an offer to the town mayor for 300 holy gold coins.

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 go and have a look?"

Durkan suddenly asked the engineer.

"No problem, Mr. Priest."

The engineer naturally responded kindly.

So under Durkan's leadership, the four of them went to the church together.

Under the mask, the corner of Durkan's mouth gradually couldn't hide his smile.

The key information is almost collected, it's time to slaughter.

The one 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 rush to the city-state to find Cornelia.

The moment when everyone walks into the church.

Durkan immediately closed the door and used [hypnotic gas], then held his breath, put his hand under the mask to cover his mouth and nose.

He wanted to knock down the other three invisibly at the first moment.

however.

Durkan was surprised to find that this guard also covered his mouth and nose very skillfully!

even……

He also used a [Hypnosis Gas]!

The actions of the two were surprisingly consistent.

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

There is no doubt that the [Hypnosis Gas] in the guard's hand is also produced by Durkan.

He only sold this card in his hometown town!

Despite the guard's disguise, Durkan already knew who he was!

153 Durkan's superficial brother

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

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

I saw his appearance change.

It seems that the disguise has been lifted, and it has become a male youth.

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

The slightly familiar voice didn't surprise Durkan.

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

"Unscrupulous profiteer, it is hard enough for you to be alive."

Durkan said bluntly.

"To each other, to each other, wicked card makers in border towns."

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