Dekan Decided to Bring Him on Board

"..."

Both Dekan and Cornelia were eerily quiet.

Cornelia, in particular, was deeply shocked.

She had originally thought that in the real world, electricity meters couldn't be reversed like in the Shadow World.

I never expected Flora's brother to be so daring!

Dekan also realized he had misjudged the situation.

The Fengchu is actually beside me...

If I had known what Morion had done, I would have found a way to deal with him back home!

At least in the border town, Morion didn't have that powerful elf with him, so they were probably separated.

So Dekan can still take down Morion.

"Although Uncle Hanover has offered a reward, the person must be captured alive..."

Theresia added with some concern.

"To think they'd spare them all, the Earl is truly a kind and honest man!"

Dekan exclaimed in amazement.

He had assumed that official bounties were for those who would risk their lives.

Keeping this rebellious son alive will only make the next internal strife in the territory inevitable.

"De..."

"Can..."

Dekan and Cornelia exchanged glances and nodded.

Happy Church needs a missionary.

Or perhaps a large sum of money is lacking.

The decision was made: either recruit him or cash him out.

"..."

Theresia's expression was very complicated.

She understood now: Dekan and Cornelia had their eyes on Morion.

In truth, she wasn't sure if Dekan Cornelia and Morion would both suffer heavy losses if they collided.

Because she couldn't say for sure which side was better, the Underworld or the netherworld.

Of course, the worst-case scenario would be a three-way alliance.

That would be an unimaginable disaster.

Seeing Theresia's conflicted expression, Dekan smiled helplessly and said:

"Don't worry, Theresia, I won't harm Morion. Our team is in dire need of a businessman; he's an indispensable asset."

"A lack of merchants?"

Theresia's expression worsened.

Which reputable strategy team would specifically recruit this kind of player?

You guys must want to start a side business with him, right?!

Things finally started to go in the direction she feared most.

She bit her lip and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, he shook his head.

"Wait me a moment."

Theresia went into the bedroom, took out a letter, and handed it to Dekan.

"This is a letter Morion sent me when school started. If he really does become your companion, please help him out."

Theresia said with a worried expression.

Dekan nodded and opened the letter.

Cornelia and Flora, who were beside them, also moved closer to watch.

[To my dearest friend Theresia]

[You must have already found that amazing Card Crafter.]

[In my eyes, he was an unimaginable money tree, but unfortunately, we were not meant to be.]

Although he has terrible gambling etiquette, he is a good person, and you, being sincere and kind, will surely become friends with him.

[The Resurrection Church has been increasingly pursuing me lately, forcing me to flee to the Southern Nations.]

[I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Norton Kingdom for a long time. Please take good care of Flora for me.]

[Please note that the Royal Capital Resurrection Cultist; I can confirm this.]

Their identities were perfectly concealed; it would be virtually impossible to find any flaws in them using conventional methods.

[Although the Royal Capital is very safe, Flora is protected by her family's guards outside the school.]

[However, my investigation suggests there is a high probability that there is another extremely distinguished member of the Resurrection Church within the Havenlit Academy.]

[Of course, it's unlikely that the senior member would personally expose his identity to deal with Flora.]

[However, as I continue to amass the wealth of the Resurrection Church within the Shadow World, they might try every means to control Flora and thus restrain me.]

[The Resurrection Church's methods are more likely to be to manipulate certain disillusioned students in order to acquire usable pawns.]

[Whether my father believes it or not, please help me pass on this information about the Resurrection Church to him.]

May you soon revive your family's fortunes.

Dekan put down the letter, his brow furrowed slightly.

"Is this kid an intelligence broker?"

He murmured.

However, upon closer reflection, it's possible that Morion has already bribed some key members of the Resurrection Church.

It's reasonable that he was able to obtain some classified information.

After all, Morion had done something similar before.

Morion was right about several of the information about the Resurrection Church in the letter.

Morion probably didn't expect that Dekan would actually succeed in capturing a Resurrection Cultist was lurking in the Royal Capital.

Therefore, the information that "there are members of the Resurrection Church in the college" is probably quite accurate.

"So if you want to find Morion, the only hope is to go to the Southern Nations, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack."

Theresia said helplessly.

Dekan thought for a moment.

Cornelia's hometown is a small kingdom in the south.

They even made plans to go out and have fun together in the future.

However, it's impossible to skip classes and go abroad right now.

Moreover, even the Resurrection Church, with its vast influence, couldn't capture Morion; it would be even more impossible for the two of them to find Morion's whereabouts.

However, their goal was no longer to capture Morion himself.

As long as I can see Morion, that's enough.

"No... I have a way to find him."

Dekan returned the letter to Theresia, his expression gradually revealing barely suppressed excitement.

There was a very important sentence in Morion's letter--

He continuously "earns" the wealth of the Resurrection Church in the Shadow World.

This suggests that Morion frequently finds entrances to challenge the Shadow World.

Moreover, he can frequently collide with Resurrection Cultist!

Conversely, the Resurrection Cultist might also have a way of clashing with Morion.

To find Morion, we still need to rely on the Resurrection Church.

Fortunately, Dekan had an undercover agent within the Resurrection Church — Aurora!

If I place a lost and found notice in the newspaper today and tell Aurora the meeting place, I can ask her for some information tomorrow.

Her status within the Resurrection Church was neither particularly high nor low.

The Resurrection Church must have tracked Morion in the Royal Capital, Aurora would have some information about Morion.

"Thank you, Theresia!"

"Dekan, you need to think this through. Morion's situation isn't that simple. If you openly get involved with him, you'll also get bogged down in a quagmire!"

Theresia looked at Dekan with some concern.

Although Dekan has already defeated the Resurrection Cultist twice in the Shadow World.

However, in the real world, confronting such a massive organization is far beyond the capabilities of students like them.

"Don't worry, Morion's letter only got one thing wrong."

Dekan smiled smugly.

"We're not just destined to be together, we're also kindred spirits."

They're making money off the Resurrection Church.

Speaking of this, Dekan is no longer sleepy!
