Chapter 152. The Moment Dekan Put on the Mask, He Had No Intention of Acting
As for why Dekan arrived at the town only five days after the High Priest disappeared, it had to do with the town’s terrain.
The town’s terrain was very perilous, and the road to the city-state was cut off by a large, hundred-meter-high cliff.
If one crossed the bridge, it would only take a few hours to get from the town to the city-state.
If one took the long way around, it would pass through a winding mountain road, which would take about two days to reach the city-state.

So after the townspeople discovered High Priest Kevin’s disappearance and the destruction of the bridge, the knights in the town quickly rushed to the city-state.
But it took them a full two days to successfully convey the situation.

And Dekan, dispatched by the church, took another two days to arrive at the town.
After listening to the mayor’s account, Dekan couldn’t help but feel a bit of incongruity.
He didn't know how the Holy Rite Church judged the severity of the two matters, “the High Priest’s disappearance” and “the bridge’s destruction.”
Sending only one priest, Dekan, to investigate, was it taking this incident a bit too lightly?
Ẇ eḃ n̂ ǒ v̊ é l̀ Е n.umä
Of course, since Dekan knew the story background of the Shadow World, he could be sure that something would happen later on.
But the Holy Rite Church did not know this key spoiler.
“Could I trouble you to take me to see the destroyed bridge?”
“Come with me.”

At Dekan’s request, the mayor took Dekan to the cliff not far from the town to have a look.
Even before reaching the edge of the cliff, Dekan could feel the strong visual impact of looking down the hundred-meter cliff.
Еnũ m̈ а̄. іd̊.
He carefully observed the destroyed bridge.
Although the broken bridge looked very much like it had been destroyed from the middle.
But upon analysis, the fracture did not seem to be caused by physical attacks.
Rather, someone standing on one side of the bridge had used powerful magic to destroy the central part of the bridge in one piece, which then gradually collapsed.
It was as if someone wanted to prevent the people in the town from quickly establishing contact with the city-state.
Dekan seemed unsatisfied with observing from a distance and walked a few more steps towards the edge of the cliff, until he was standing on the very edge of the precipice.

“Be careful!”
The mayor wasn't worried about Dekan, but simply didn't want a priest to have an accident in the town.
However, Dekan just wanted to confirm his favorite type of high-altitude terrain.
He looked down from the cliff. Besides the steep natural rock walls and sparse vegetation, there were only narrow paths on both sides below the cliff, with the center being occupied by a rapid stream.
If one accidentally fell, they might not die, but there was no telling where the river would carry them.
Dekan stepped back from the edge of the cliff, looking thoughtful.
Е̃ń ŭm.а̄ . і̌ d̂
He felt that the presence of this rapid stream was a hindrance, as it banned the terrain kill.
It would have been perfect if there were rocks or even ground spikes at the bottom of the cliff.

“Can this bridge be repaired?”
Dekan looked at the mayor and asked.
“The knights we sent to the city-state also notified the contractor for the bridge repair, but the contractor looked from that end of the bridge and said they seemed to need to come over here to inspect the situation. They should arrive in town today at the latest.”
Just as the mayor was speaking, some movement seemed to come from the forest on the opposite bank.
Еn̈ùm̂ а̌ .i d
Then, Dekan and the mayor looked over and saw a large group of horse-drawn carriages appear on the opposite side of the cliff.
Apart from a few guards, the rest were engineers and workers, looking like a professional engineering team.
They brought enough manpower and various materials, seemingly ready to start work at any time.
Next, the two people in the lead crossed the cliff to the town’s side, riding on a small dragon.

“By the way, why don't I get this kind of treatment?”
“Heh, would the church specially provide a dragon for you just because of this special situation?”
Ŵ eb̌ňо ṽ ĕl̈ É n̆ ūmа
The mayor made no secret of his contempt for Dekan.
The merchant guild’s dragon was clearly very valuable.
If it weren’t for a special purpose, they probably wouldn’t use it lightly.
The two people who landed from the dragon were a middle-aged man and a guard with an unremarkable appearance.
The middle-aged man should be the engineer who came to carefully observe this end of the bridge.
And he would also give a price quote 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’s convenient for you to step aside?”
Under the mask, Dekan frowned. He had already tolerated this repeatedly.
If Cornelia were here, he really wanted to tie this mayor up in the church and make him repent.
“The bridge is related to my investigation mission. The engineer’s analysis of the bridge may help me deduce the truth, so please let me continue to accompany you.”

Dekan replied.
“Then let’s go together.”

The mayor snorted with a barely audible sound, then perfunctorily said.
“Mr. Priest, if there is anything I can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
On the contrary, the engineer’s attitude towards Dekan was very friendly and respectful.
Even though this priest’s appearance was a bit… bizarre, since the mayor didn't question anything, it was obvious that this was a genuine priest.
Е n̊ ǔm ā
After all, no one would dare to easily impersonate a priest of the Holy Rite Church.
Dekan discovered that the moment the guard next to the engineer saw him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It seemed he had figured out that this 【Red Center Mask】 was a product of magic cards not from this world.
Even though it was just a slight emotional stir, it was still captured by Dekan.

Dekan was very sure that the guard was a challenger.
The guard could have hidden the emotion in his eyes.

But perhaps because Dekan’s current appearance was too ridiculous, the guard lost his composure for a moment.
The engineer quickly completed his assessment of the bridge’s condition and gave the mayor a quote of 300 Holy Gold Coins.
The mayor was quite decisive and took out 100 Holy Gold Coins as a deposit.
Just as the engineer was preparing to return to the other side of the bridge with the guard.
“I found that the old church also needs repairs. Could I trouble you to go take a look as well?”
Dekan suddenly asked the engineer.

“No problem, Mr. Priest.”
The engineer naturally responded in a friendly manner.
So, under Dekan’s lead, the four of them went to the church together.
Under the mask, the corner of Dekan’s mouth gradually revealed an uncontainable smile.
The key information had been collected. It was time to start the slaughter.
This one hundred Holy Gold Coins could be considered good operating funds, enough for him to proceed with the mission in the city-state with plenty to spare.

He could also “borrow” that dragon along the way to quickly get to the city-state to find Cornelia.
The moment everyone walked into the church.

Dekan immediately closed the door and used 【Sleep Gas】, then held his breath and reached under his mask to cover his mouth and nose.
He wanted to take down the other three invisibly in the first instance.
However.
Dekan was surprised to find that this guard also covered his mouth and nose with abnormal proficiency!
Е̂n̊um а . і̂ d̈
Even…
He also used a 【Sleep Gas】 card!
The two people’s actions were surprisingly identical.
It seemed that even their modus operandi was the same!

Without a doubt, the 【Sleep Gas】 card in the guard’s hand was also a product of Dekan.
He had only sold this card in his small hometown!

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