I've Already Become a Demon God, Yet You Want Me to Be a Villain? Part 29

Upon hearing Su Mo's answer, the expressions of the other Villains in the room changed.

One of the Villains nearly stood up and was about to speak, but a Duke's Heir stopped him.

Jerol probably hadn't expected Su Mo to refuse.

He looked at the Duke's Heir who had intervened, and the other party nodded again.

Jerol said, "Count, there's no need to rush into a decision. How about this? We can first add each other to a Villain Group. If we get any information about Protagonists in the future, we'll share it there as well."

"Alright."

This time, Su Mo agreed.

Thus, Su Mo joined a Villain Group. There were quite a few people in it already—several dozen, in fact.

After joining the group, Su Mo stood up and left.

"A mere Count, at most a Bronze-grade Villain, yet he acted so arrogantly... I'm furious."

After Su Mo left, the Villain who had been about to speak earlier finally couldn't hold it in any longer.

"There must be something off about this Count of Inkstone Territory. He was far too calm from beginning to end. Even when he heard that a Protagonist might possess a Gold-grade Golden Finger, he showed no reaction at all. That isn't how a Bronze-grade Villain should react."

One of the Duke's Heirs began to analyze the situation.

"Mm, I also think something's wrong. Things like Cement and Porcelain appeared over a year ago. Could it be that he transmigrated before us?"

Another Duke's Heir said.

"That should be impossible, but it really doesn't make sense... Let's first see whether he makes any moves."

The Duke's Heir with the highest status here also spoke.

Then, they resumed discussing how to deal with the Protagonists in the royal capital.

Arrogant Protagonist! His Smile Gradually Froze!

"Three more days, and I'll reach the royal capital too. Let's use this opportunity to see if we can eliminate some Protagonists."

"We definitely can't make a move before the Goddess's Blessing Ceremony. We'll act after the blessing."

"I suggest we station more people around the royal capital. Aren't all these Protagonists gathering there? We can find a way to intercept and kill some of them outside."

"Difficult. Their warning range is greater than ours."

"..."

In the chat group called "Crescent Villain," quite a few Villains were chatting.

Many of these Villains also planned to use the Goddess's Blessing Ceremony as an excuse to come to the royal capital openly and legitimately to watch the ceremony.

Then, they would join forces with the Villains in the royal capital to deal with the Protagonists there.

After glancing through the group's messages, Su Mo closed the Villain Panel.

The Protagonists in the royal capital were not particularly difficult for Su Mo to deal with.

It was simply that he had to wait until the blessing ceremony was over before making his move.

To him, the most important thing at present was the blessing ceremony.

Su Mo took out a large amount of information from his Space Ring.

He quickly looked through it.

This information had been collected by Nancy's Intelligence Organization and concerned the various Great Noble families of the Crescent Kingdom.

"Holy Domain... no wonder..."

Su Mo murmured.

The noble families of the Crescent Kingdom were not simple either.

Among the nobles Su Mo had just met, one Duke Family had produced a Holy Domain expert!

That Holy Domain expert was currently in the Crescent Royal Capital.

This Holy Domain expert was likely that Duke Family's greatest support.

He was also the support of these Villains.

This was a genuine Holy Domain.

He was far stronger than the Holy Domain in the Silver Ring.

One had only a soul remaining, while the other retained his full strength. Naturally, there was no comparison.

These people were rather cautious.

Even with a Holy Domain expert, they had not used him lightly.

Although they were suspicious of Su Mo, they probably had not taken him too seriously.

As a result, much information had not been hidden from Su Mo.

Su Mo easily saw that these people were likely planning an attack against the Protagonists.

"My lord, we've arrived."

Female Official Aria's voice rang out.

They had arrived at the inn.

Su Mo stepped out of the carriage and checked into the inn.

Aria quickly arranged for the maids to bring water and attend to Su Mo as he washed up.

Just as he was about to rest, Su Mo received another Magic Letter.

Su Mo saw that it was from Meilena.

She had reached the Legendary tier.

Moreover, she had applied to join the Magic Council, and her chances of being accepted were extremely high.

After reading the Magic Letter, Su Mo went to rest.

Early the next morning, the people sent by the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom were already waiting outside the inn.

Today was the agreed time to visit the Crescent Holy See.

Su Mo boarded the carriage, and before long, arrived at the meeting place.

It was at the center of the entire Royal Capital, beneath the Pyramid floating in the sky.

The Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had already arrived as well.

"You're here."

Upon seeing Su Mo, she revealed a radiant smile.

Ever since seeing Su Mo yesterday, her mood had become exceptionally bright.

"Let's go."

After saying that, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom extended her hand.

She was preparing to get into the carriage.

The reason she held out her hand was because she wanted Su Mo to support her.

This was the customary escorting gesture when ladies in the World of Gods boarded a carriage.

There was naturally etiquette involved in such support: one merely offered the back of one's hand for the lady to hold.

One could not grasp the other person's hand, as that would be highly impolite.

Yet the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom had never extended her hand before a nobleman.

She was the Saintess.

She was not even supposed to touch a man's hand.

But today, she made an exception.

There was also a faint flush on her face, almost impossible to notice.

She still appeared dignified and imposing, but in truth, her heart was filled with unease.

Because she was worried... that Su Mo would not respond.

But soon, she let out a sigh of relief, as Su Mo extended his hand and helped her into the carriage.

At once, the Queen of the Crescent Kingdom's heart became as sweet as honey.

The two carriages, surrounded by a large number of knights, headed toward the church.

This was the largest church in the Crescent Kingdom. The connected complex behind it was where the Holy See's clergy worked.
