"Who's going to meet him?"
"Isabella, you should go. I'm still too inexperienced. Didn't you do a great job with diplomacy? You even said that it was all up to you when we left."
Rorschach wasn't an idiot. Why would he take the blame at this time?
"I, I'm the one who broke his balls. You want me to go meet him? Everyone knows that he'll definitely have his men waiting for me! "
"… You don't want to go, so what's the difference if I go as your companion? Besides, I heard that the guy who broke his balls has a rather twisted sexual orientation. It's safer for you to go. Yep, that's right. He's no longer a threat to you. "
Every time I talked nonsense with Isabella, I never knew how far things would go in the end.
But right now, the most important thing was to meet with the old city lord and confirm the truth of the matter.
With the Seymour dancer's explanation, the situation took a turn for the worse.
It turned out that the perverted old man named Siyas was the previous city lord of Cape Town as well as an elder of the Horn Elephant tribe. However, he was kicked out of power 10 years ago. It was said that the current city lord, Sydeen, was his adopted son.
It was said that back in the day, Sydeen was quite famous for being vicious, but time was unforgiving. In the end, he was kicked out of power by the elders with a reason.
Everyone knew that a featherless phoenix was no better than a chicken. Sydeen's life wasn't easy. The only reason he was still alive was because the current city lord cared about the reputation between him and his adopted son, as well as appeasing the elders.
And so, Sydeen, a former warrior and great warrior, became addicted to alcohol and women, causing trouble all day long … But if he hadn't been so reckless, he probably wouldn't have lived to this day.
Actually, Sydeen still had several decades left in his life. He had no intention of giving up. A snake with a hundred feet wouldn't fall over even after death. He still had some power under his command.
And due to certain reasons, Sydeen learned that his adopted son had become a believer of an Evil God. And so, he thought of various methods to send this information to the new Aishi Gods, such as Xixi, who had just learned about this.
"So amazing. He's pretending to be crazy in order to fight for justice?"
"Ha, don't overthink it. In the eyes of the locals, what's the difference between us and an Evil God? We're just mortal enemies. He just wants to use us to mess things up. "
It was obvious that they were using each other. Isabella did not feel the slightest bit of guilt for "accidentally injuring" the old man.
[If Cape Town is really on the side of the Evil Gods, then it will be difficult to deal with them …]
Lori's worries weren't just for show. The main reason the Game Church had chosen this location to search for a port was because it was the closest and most probable location for a large population gathering.
Once he defeated all the Evil Gods here, and then successfully established a country by unifying the wastelands, the Game Church's territory would probably evolve from a sparsely populated urban-rural area to a remote town located at the border of a warring country … Rorschach didn't know which would be worse, and he didn't want to know.
Meanwhile, the powerful shipbuilding industry here, as well as the high-quality spaceport that was about to be acquired, would become a springboard for further expansion. With the support of the Evil God, a sea of warships, daemons, and Evil God believers would swiftly sweep over everything in the surroundings.
Rorschach, Isabella, and Su Nanna looked at each other. They couldn't make up their minds.
This was originally an ordinary mission with the nature of an outing to relax, but in the blink of an eye, it became a huge problem that concerned their lives. Rorschach decided that if he could return alive, he would go to the Temple of the Goddess of Luck to pray … and no matter what, he would not bring along Isabella, the jinx.
What he didn't notice was that the others were looking at him with subtle gazes. It was probably similar to the way he looked at Isabella.
"I'd better consider the application to carry out the mission with Rorschach."
"Seconded."
[How can you say that about my brother … Actually, the backend clerks really want him. It's really difficult to deal with the huge incident that happened the moment he came out.]
In a channel that Rorschach didn't know about, the other descenders were all whispering to each other.
But actually, everyone knew that this was just a joke to ease the tension. They couldn't take the jinx seriously. After all, Rome wasn't built in a single day. It wasn't just a day or two that the city lord had become a believer of the Evil Gods … If he really did establish a new Evil God Kingdom and opened the Dimensional Door to welcome the Evil Gods' army, that would truly be impossible to deal with.
[Enough of this. I'll communicate with the other New Gods. I'll contact you when the conclusion is out … While ensuring your safety, do your best to collect as much evidence as possible. Actually, evidence isn't that important. Safety is the priority. If it doesn't work, just run away.]
The Game Church wouldn't be able to deal with such a situation by themselves. If this place really became the frontline of the Evil God Kingdom, the Game Church definitely wouldn't be the only one to suffer. In fact, the Game Church was still relatively far away, so there was still a way out … The other factions were closer to the Evil God Kingdom, and they had all taken advantage of them in Cape Town. Now, none of them would be able to escape.
But from a certain standpoint, this was yet another opportunity. An opportunity to gather the power of the Aishi New Gods and overthrow the city lord and the Horned Elephant tribe.
Once there was an opportunity to overthrow Sydeen and allow the pro- Aishi political factions to take control of Cape Town, this would be a tremendous benefit. Now that they had the "Evil Gods" as a reason for their actions, it was only natural that the New Gods would join forces to take action.
The old city lord, Siyas, saw the situation clearly, which was why he asked Rorschach and the others for help. It didn't matter how powerful Rorschach and the others were; they only needed to send the message.
The dancer Xixi wasn't simple either. She risked danger to send the message in hopes that the moment Sydeen fell, the threat to her tribe would be easily resolved.
Everyone had their own plans. But when the goal of defeating a common enemy appeared in front of them, the former strangers instantly became friends. And, this alliance of mutual benefits was actually surprisingly solid … at least, before Sydeon's downfall.
Everyone knew this, so there was no need to say it out loud.
And so, Rorschach, who had just returned, put on his disguise again and prepared to go out. A small gray-black bat appeared in the headband on his shoulder.
Although Roxia kept commenting, he had important matters to attend to. Although he really didn't want to go, Roxia's talent talent for honesty was an advantage when it came to finding out the truth. This meant that he couldn't possibly miss this meeting.
Since Rorschach was going to take action, Isabella, his bodyguard, had to follow him no matter what as the number one fighting force.
And it wasn't just the two of them who took action. Su Nanna also disappeared into the shadows. In the empty room, only the dancer Xixi, who didn't know what to do, was left.
After waiting for a while at the location where Xixi had sent the message, Rorschach met the skinny goat horned old man under an abandoned bridge.
But judging from how the old man was trembling while leaning on a walking stick, as if he was going to die at any moment … Rorschach felt rather embarrassed and pitiful when he recalled how the old man had been drinking and enjoying his health not too long ago.
"You can't go easy on me."
"Yep, I'll definitely go easy on you next time, as long as you dare to attack me like that bastard."
"… Then I really have to thank you. Don't worry, even if you're the only woman in the world, I won't have any thoughts about being a rich female pig."
"… Is this a declaration of coming out of the closet? Heavens, no wonder Lori introduced so many girls to you, but you weren't interested. So this is what you're … Do you need me to introduce you to some handsome vampire guys? I have both number zero and number one. "
Rorschach had once again underestimated Isabella's bottom line. The topic of the conversation instantly disappeared. In the end, he had no choice but to give up on the verbal victory.
"Business, business is more important … Old man, are you the old city lord of this city? How old are you? Have you eaten? Are the eggs okay? Do you hate us? Was the Evil God thing true? Are you enemies with the new city lord? "
The series of questions left Siyas unable to react in time, but Rorschach no longer needed an answer.
"Oh my, so the Evil God incident was real. This luck, I really should have believed in the Goddess of Luck … Oh, don't worry, old man, this isn't mind-reading. I don't have such a convenient ability. By the way, you actually don't hate Isabella at all. That's too much. She's so cruel, she'll definitely suffer retribution. Don't worry about revenge. None of us want to help her. "
"Eh, you don't want to take revenge at all? Are you a f * cking saint? Wasn't it? Oh, oh, oh, oh, your balls can't be used anymore, so you don't hate her at all. Are you pretending now?! Ah, ah, ah, ah, you're really a cunning old fox. I admire you. "
Even though he didn't have any mind-reading abilities, he was able to achieve an effect that far exceeded that of a mind-reading ability. However, as he spoke, even the extremely shrewd Siyas' face turned green and purple. His goat horns were even emitting flames. It seemed that he was on the verge of going berserk.
However, Rorschach had already obtained everything he wanted to know.
