Dekan's Scathing Take on Morion
"After I draft the contract, I'll be your agent, Cornelia will be your assistant. I'll introduce you to our CEO then."
I'll take this opportunity to register a legitimate company.
The Happy Church also needs a proper office building as its base.
Only Croix could easily provide the bulk of the initial funding.
Although Dekan and Cornelia have some savings, it may not be enough at the moment.
As challengers in the Shadow World, they also need to save some money for unforeseen circumstances.
"So what do I need to do?"
"I'll provide you with guidance on music arrangement and choreography, and you can also be creative. We'll record your performance using props."
Dekan was planning to discuss with Professor Morgut, who was in charge of the live stream at the Alchemy Academy, about expanding the broadcast reach of his and Cornelia's live stream.
For the next trial run, Dekan hopes to expand the live broadcast to public areas of all the city-states in the Norton Kingdom.
Expanding the broadcast reach comes at a high cost.
However, if they can gain attention, they will definitely make a profit.
The Alchemy Academy also has many investors.
Although Professor Morgut understood the risks of expanding the scope of the two's live stream, he could not resist the temptation of money.
If the revenue is high enough, there will be an opportunity to apply to the King's Union for further expansion of the broadcasting scope.
However, no matter how much the live stream is done, the final share that Dekan and Cornelia receive is unlikely to be excessively large.
After all, they weren't the bosses.
However, if they could use this traffic to promote their own signed artist Flora, the returns would be completely different!
Dekan and Cornelia will try to insert Flora's live stream during the broadcast!
With Flora's strength and Dekan Cornelia's popularity on live stream, she'll likely become an overnight sensation very soon!
The wealth generated from advancing various projects in the real world at that time will be unimaginable!
"Flora, from now on you'll be our Happy Agency's number one idol!"
"Yay!"
"That's great, Flora!"
The three walked back towards the school amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
Although they are no longer the trio of idiots, they have forged a deep friendship.
On their way back to school, Dekan and Flora Cornelia said goodbye beforehand.
Let the two girls go back to school together first.
Dekan, on the other hand, went to the newspaper office alone to place the ad.
He sent a message using a pre-arranged cipher to request a meeting with Aurora.
They Happy Church's mole within the Resurrection Church was finally going to be put to use for the first time.
And so, a perfect day came to an end.
The next day.
On Sunday morning, many people spent their time in the vast park of the Royal Capital.
A handsome young man, resembling a Western doll, and a pure and beautiful woman sat on two benches not far apart by the lake in the park.
Occasionally, families with children playing in the park will pass by.
The park was peaceful, and the shimmering lake reflected the sunlight, creating a dazzling effect for a moment.
Dekan flipped through the book in his hands.
He seemed completely oblivious to the beautiful woman nearby.
Do you know Morion?
Dekan said, as if talking to himself.
"Morion Hanover? He's one of the Resurrection Church's top wanted targets."
Aurora heard Dekan's voice and answered.
But he didn't look at Dekan.
She sat with her hands on her thighs, her posture quite ladylike, admiring the scenery of the lake, as if she were waiting for her date.
"..."
Dekan thought for a moment.
This "highest level" is indeed quite prestigious.
It seems Morion has done quite a few good things for the Resurrection Church.
The wanted poster even has a Monkey D. Dragon vibe.
Is our church also issuing a warrant for his arrest?
Seeing that Dekan didn't speak, Aurora asked softly.
She didn't dare turn her head to observe Dekan's profile.
The more dignified and sacred Dekan appeared in the sun, the clearer the shadow behind Dekan became to her.
That was the darkness she dared not peek into.
"No, he is our missionary. I recently lost contact with him. I'm a little worried about him and wanted to ask if the Resurrection Church has any information about him."
Dekan snapped out of his reverie, turned a page, and continued.
A simple sentence was enough to spark a myriad of thoughts in Aurora's mind.
As expected, the leaders of the Happy Church are no ordinary people!
After Dekan released her, she had wondered what other members the Happy Church might have.
The first person that came to mind was this genius named Morion.
No wonder the Happy Church has such good benefits.
They were treating the Resurrection Church like an ATM.
Indeed, pledging allegiance to the Happy Church is the inevitable trend.
Aurora put aside her own thoughts and replied to Dekan:
"Yes, members of the Resurrection Church encountered him in the Shadow World that ended a few days ago."
"Explain in detail."
"It's a fifth-tier Shadow World themed around a demon lord and a hero. The challengers' goal is to act as supporters to ensure the hero successfully defeats the demon lord. This time, three fifth-tier Resurrection Cultist have successfully run into Morion."
"They found an opportunity to attack Morion, but Morion tricked them into coming to the hero's party. The hero then mistook the three Resurrection Cultists for bandits and fought them off for Morion."
"As a result, Morion swindled the hero's party out of all their money, then used a large portion of it to issue bounties in the city-state, hunting down the three challengers from the Resurrection Church."
"Thus, lacking travel expenses, the hero had no choice but to pursue the three 'mountain bandits,' and in the end, all three Resurrection Cultist died mysteriously in the hero's relentless pursuit."
"Because the hero wasted time and lacked the strength to defeat the Demon King, while Morion made a lot of money in the meantime, he bought a lot of cursed equipment and potions with severe side effects to support the hero, successfully causing the hero and the Demon King to perish together."
"..."
After listening, Dekan remained silent for a long time again.
He couldn't help but feel relieved that Morion wasn't a necromancer.
Otherwise, Morion could exploit this hero for even more profit.
Even if the hero is a native of the Shadow World, harming him like this is still too inhumane.
At least Dekan's moral compass wouldn't allow him to do such a thing.
"So, what are the characteristics of this hero?"
Dekan wondered if the hero had offended Morion.
"This hero seems to always like to write stories, but he always stops halfway through, so the bards don't have a very good opinion of him."
The Resurrection Church also has Observation Program, so it recorded some relevant information.
Dekan nodded.
This hero is guilty, but his crime does not warrant death...
Morion went a bit too far.
Aurora: "By the way, the hero's name is Shen He, and when he gets drunk, he always likes to tear up other people's books."
Dekan: "Good riddance!"
