My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 66 The Witch, the Church, and the King

After leaving Su Tu's room, Eve pondered the matter of Bote's promotion.

This was the first time her only friend had offered her advice, and she felt it was necessary to consider it carefully.

In terms of ability alone, Bote is indeed, as Su Tu said, capable of being the head of the reconnaissance team.

But if he becomes the person in charge, what will happen to the original person in charge?

Not to mention the appointment of the person in charge, she had no right to interfere; only the king could make that decision.

Even if she wanted to, she would have to get the king's approval before she could appoint Bote as the team leader.

She remained silent the entire way, and even when people bowed to her, she only nodded vaguely.

It wasn't until she returned to her office at the base that she snapped out of her reverie.

"Perhaps I should ask my father for his opinion," Eve thought to herself.

For Eve, when faced with a difficult problem, seeking help from her father was always the right thing to do.

Especially since she was originally planning to return to the palace to discuss the Calamity Squad with her father.

We can just mention it casually later.

Thinking of this, she immediately stood up again after sitting down, and ordered a carriage to be arranged so that she could head to the palace immediately.

For about half an hour, she stood behind the king, gently massaging his shoulders.

"What do you think, Father? Is there anything wrong with my idea?"

Just now, as she stepped into this office, she happened to find her father resting.

She also took advantage of her father's rest time to give a general account of how to create the Calamity Squad to deal with the calamities.

Now that her father was pondering, she simply went behind him and started massaging his shoulders.

She asked this question because her father had been pondering it for a while.

She was also worried that her father would not agree to this idea.

However, while she was feeling uneasy, the king slowly spoke:

"Your idea is indeed good. If the children of the five dukes were to serve as the main members of this team, it would be highly feasible."

He still thought Eve's idea of ​​forming the Calamity Squad was quite reasonable.

Previously, everyone viewed calamities as ominous, and once a calamity occurred, the church would annihilate it with swift and decisive measures.

Aside from a few powerful ones that the church is powerless against, few of the other calamities can survive for long.

However, this situation changed after Su Tu, the second son of the Duke, became a calamity.

He was also the first calamity to survive without possessing great strength.

Of course, this result was achieved through the open and covert struggles of many forces.

After setting a precedent, subsequent dukes' children who became calamities were generally able to survive as long as they did not harm the empire's residents or interests.

Now Eve has come up with the idea of ​​forming a special squad of calamities composed of these calamities with special abilities.

It must be said that this idea was very bold and creative, and even this king, who did not have much affection for calamities, carefully weighed the pros and cons of it.

"Then, Father, does this mean you've granted my request?"

Eve's face lit up with joy, and she subconsciously stopped massaging the king's shoulder.

Feeling his daughter's heartfelt joy, he, as a father, was also somewhat moved.

If she hadn't become a calamity and hadn't had to bear external and internal pressures, perhaps she would often show such a smile.

Lost in thought, a rare hint of doting appeared in the king's deep eyes.

"Yes, I agree!"

The king spoke heartily, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of a smile.

"But don't get too excited yet. You're in charge of this team, so your work will be much busier."

Hearing the king's words, Eve said confidently, "Don't worry, Father, with Su Tu around, I'll be much more relaxed."

She had just mentioned the idea of ​​creating the Calamity Squad, and then she also mentioned that she would be in charge and Su Tu would be the captain.

Since the king did not specify who the captain should be, it means that he has tacitly agreed to her choice.

The king didn't say much on this matter, but simply nodded with a smile.

Now, he is experiencing a rare moment of genuine joy from his daughter, something he hasn't seen in the past six months, and his mood is naturally much better.

Of course, he didn't hide his feelings, so Eve could clearly sense them.

After a moment's hesitation, she felt that now might be the perfect opportunity to propose that Bote take the lead.

"Father, I think Bote is very capable, why not let him be the leader of the first team?"

Her topic changed so quickly that the king was caught off guard and instinctively answered her question.

"He is indeed very capable and experienced, but unfortunately his background is not good enough for the position."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately came to his senses, wiped the smile off his face, and looked at Eve with a puzzled expression.

Why are you suddenly asking this question?

Eve didn't show any embarrassment; instead, she smiled naturally and gently massaged the king's shoulder.

"Father, I just feel that if he becomes the person in charge, it will be of more help to me."

The king did not have too many doubts, but after a moment of contemplation, he slowly spoke.

"Alright, I know what you mean. I'll think about it carefully. If there's nothing else, you should go back to the reconnaissance team and take care of the witch's matter."

The moment the word "witch" was mentioned, Eve's smile vanished.

After she took over the investigation of the eight corpses, there was no progress whatsoever.

No matter what methods were used, Rhys, who was locked in the interrogation room, refused to reveal the origin of the corpse.

They tried every trick in the book, but still couldn't get him to talk.

Their manpower alone could not find any useful clues in the investigation.

Because of this, the whole thing couldn't move forward at all.

Now, besides organizing the reconnaissance team's affairs, she spends all her time worrying about this matter.

"I see."

The king couldn't help but laugh when he heard this helpless voice.

"Alright, you don't need to feel too much pressure. The church knows about the witch, and they will use their own channels to investigate."

Upon hearing this, Eve's expression turned serious, and she couldn't help but ask, "Father..."

But before she could finish speaking, the king waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Alright, I understand what you mean, but the appearance of the witch is not just about us, it's also closely related to the church."

As he said this, a touch of sentimentality appeared in his deep eyes, as if he were recalling something.

"After all, the gradual disappearance of witches from people's sight has a great deal to do with the church."

After saying this, the king realized what he had just said and laughed heartily.

"Alright, you've accomplished your purpose here, now go back."

Eve remained silent, but obediently nodded and left the study.

As the door slowly closed, the king's expression turned solemn.

"Church, oh Church, I hope you can find out the truth about the witch..."
