Dekan Made the City Smile

After explaining the company's basic information, Dekan stopped there.

This is a great opportunity to promote Happy Church.

But the main event today is still the entire event for the Resurrection Church.

Only after dealing with the Resurrection Church can Dekan settle accounts with Ice Princess in peace.

With Lord Lampard's strong support, the development of Happy Group can be described as unimpeded.

There's no need to greedily take advantage of the ad time now.

Then Lampard and Dekan began the most crucial part of the interview.

"First of all, to commemorate Mr. Dekan's arrival in Tristin City, we will be holding a special commemorative event."

As Lampard spoke, he took out a Summon Card.

The card features Dekan's model worker card [Captain Dekan].

Lampard then summoned it, and the chibi-style Dekan doll that landed on the ground began to greet the audience in front of the screen.

"This doll looks so smug."

"Actually, she's quite cute..."

"Is this the work of a master Card Crafter?"

The audience was buzzing with discussion.

They can see that the screen also displays Captain Dekan's performance and detailed evaluation results.

[Captain Dekan]'s Taunt lasts for less than 0.1 seconds for those who "have no hatred towards Dekan".

It's even less effective than the Taunt effect of a regular Tier 1 card.

The Taunt might have just begun to stir in the mind of the target when the Taunt dissipates.

It's like Taunt nothing at all.

But.

If someone harbors intense hatred towards Dekan, they will be Taunt for several seconds, and may even lose their temper.

Being Taunt for 0.1 to 0.5 seconds is within the normal range.

The person who was Taunt for 0.5 seconds might not dislike Dekan, but was simply annoyed by Captain Dekan's expression.

Any delay exceeding 0.5 seconds indicates at least slight malice towards Dekan.

After being insulted by Dekan, one might be Taunt for more than a second.

If it lasts more than 2 seconds, it means that Dekan has completely angered her.

These results were obtained from tests conducted on ordinary prisoners in prison.

In the test, the two prisoners who were Taunt for the longest time even reached about 5 seconds.

They were the two Resurrection Cultist captured by Dekan.

After honestly recounting the information last night, they originally thought that Dekan would stop torturing them as agreed.

Before dawn, they were brutally beaten without any explanation!

What's most infuriating is that the knights who beat them up weren't even trying to interrogate them.

I just want to beat them senseless!!

They hate it! But they can't do anything about it!

Later, when they saw Captain Dekan, they nearly went mad.

This also provided Dekan with valuable experimental data.

"This is a blue-quality Tier 1 Summon Card created by Mr. Dekan."

Lord Lampard began his explanation of [Captain Dekan].

"Although it seems like this is a card that can only be used to its fullest potential by Dekan himself."

"However, please think carefully, there is another group of people who also harbor malice, hostility, or even hatred towards Mr. Dekan."

"Those are members of the Resurrection Church."

"As you all have probably heard about yesterday's Magic Airship hijacking, three fifth-tier elite members of the Resurrection Church hijacked the airship and threatened the lives of all the passengers in an attempt to take Mr. Dekan away."

"However, Dekan. Dekan not only successfully rescued all the passengers, but also killed a particularly difficult Resurrection Cultist, and captured the other two hijackers."

As the lord spoke, the scene abruptly switched to a dramatic replay of the moment when Captain Dekan lured the irrational Tuxedo Man in a formal suit to jump off the Magic Airship and fall to his death.

This footage, recorded by a magical device in the cabin, was not originally allowed to be made public.

However, thanks to Lord Lampard's actions, it became part of the promotional footage for this press conference.

The audience stared wide-eyed as an elite cultist capable of self-destruction was toyed with by a Tier 1 Summon Card, and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

They had all heard about yesterday's hostage situation, but they didn't know the specifics.

I originally thought the intelligence gathered would be released some time later.

Unexpectedly, the lord has now released the records directly.

The scene switches back to the interview.

"Mr. Dekan, after seeing what just happened, I can't help but wonder, how many members of the Resurrection Church have you killed so far to achieve such skill?"

Lord Lampard suddenly asked.

Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?

Dekan smiled and asked in return.

"Haha. So, Mr. Dekan, do you think the Resurrection Church harbors a high degree of hatred towards you?"

Lord Lampard was not angered by Dekan's arrogant attitude; instead, his expression became even more invigorated.

"I'm quite confident about that,"

Dekan nodded slightly.

"If there's anyone else who is more hated by the Resurrection Church, it's probably only my dear friend Morion Hanover."

"But the Resurrection Church is truly pathetic. Not only can they not deal with me, but they're also being completely outmaneuvered by Morion. Well, after all, I am Morion's personal Card Crafter."

In order to gain more of Morion's hatred, Dekan even lied and claimed to be Morion's personal Card Crafter.

"The Resurrection Church always comes to deliver food to us. I really don't know the point of this organization's existence. They are a bunch of pathetic bastards who can't even be considered respectable."

Dekan couldn't help but scoff, shaking his head dismissively.

"Whoa!"

"That's easy to scold!"

Dekan's speech clearly drew cheers from the city of Tristin.

Ordinary people deeply resent the Resurrection Church!

Although every word Dekan said was terrifyingly arrogant.

However, there aren't many people who dare to openly criticize the Resurrection Church like this!

"Damn it..."

The Resurrection Cultist, hiding in the crowd and watching the broadcast, gritted their teeth in hatred.

Even through the screen, they wanted to glorify [Captain Dekan] along with Dekan.

However, they still haven't figured out what the lord and Dekan are up to.

The lord smiled, clapped, and looked at the camera.

It seems we're finally ready to reveal today's most important content.

"Our official celebration is called 'The Mascot of Tristin City'!"

"Today, Captain Dekan will appear in every corner of Tristin City with warm smiles, bringing blessings to everyone!"

As soon as the lord finished speaking, many viewers noticed that knights around them had summoned Captain Dekan].

Tristin City purchased thousands of [Captain Dekan] cards from Dekan.

This large batch of [Captain Dekan] is all the stock that was airlifted from the Royal Capital this morning.

"Next, members of the public can interact with the mascot [Captain Dekan]!"

"Please help them spread their smiles to others!"

"Complete the event for a chance to win [Captain Dekan] as a prize!"

"Of course, if any residents discover anyone attempting to attack [Captain Dekan]..."

"Or do everything you can to avoid [Captain Dekan] and any suspicious individuals."

"Please notify the nearest knight or sheriff as soon as possible!"

The lord's voice echoed in every corner of the city of Tristin.
