Huh? Are they all real?.

Inside the walls, Moen lamented how difficult it was to eradicate the cultists' initial beliefs.

The cult's high priest outside the wall patted the other person on the shoulder reassuringly and said:

"My children, their sacrifice was absolutely worthwhile!"

“I can assure you that the entire Baratheon will be watching their capital.”

"This will make our plans as convenient as possible."

"At that time, our fallen comrades will be redeemed, and we will become true witnesses."

Upon hearing this, the other cult members began reciting their own prayers.

To be honest, the Abyss Cult is the only organization Moen has ever seen whose prayers are so varied and diverse.

Every time I see them praying, I feel like they're in a vegetable market.

Compared to the solemnity of other religious sects, theirs has a strangely comical quality.

But what's the biggest convenience?

All eyes were on the capital, where they found the greatest convenience.

So, are they bait?

The Abyss Cult's sole reason for activity is to summon demons.

Summoning demons generally requires a large amount of extraordinary materials and a great deal of spiritual flesh and blood.

If it were just extraordinary materials, it could be said to be the Abyss Cult's own accumulation.

But this is Baratheon.

When he was in power twenty years ago, he not only purged a large number of the old aristocracy, but also swept away a large number of cult organizations in the country.

Judging from the Empress's attitude after taking over.

How did they manage to make such a commotion right under the Queen's nose?

After a brief assessment, Moen had his answer.

"If the old elk wants to advance to Sequence Two, it needs the heart of a Demon Lord!"

Demons are hard to find in the real world, and demon lords are beings that cannot be summoned under normal circumstances.

These old friends are still so unwilling to give up!

Needless to say, this is definitely the old elk, one of the seven dukes, who is unwilling to accept his fate. After twenty years of ruling in death, he finally has a chance to catch his breath and plans to join forces with the Abyss Cult to summon a demon lord who is powerful enough for him to advance.

On this point, the two sides were in complete agreement.

The Abyss Cult needs the Old Deer to provide cover for the Seventh Prince's abilities. The Old Deer needs the Abyss Cult to bring out a Demon Lord.

But if the capital city is just bait, where is the enemy's real altar located?

Moen already had the answer in his mind, but he needed evidence to ensure that everything was foolproof.

As Moen looked up at the cultists outside the wall, the high priest also delivered the 'evidence':

"Alright, kids, although I loathe those disgusting termites, we now have to rely on their help."

"Cheer up, we must get to Donald Street by the deadline so those parasites can arrange for us to go to Surras and meet up with our companions."

Chapter 13 is such a big event, of course we need to call in people!

So this is the city of Surras.

The capital city was clearly the most important place in the empire. With the cooperation of the Lu family, these cultists successfully set up an ingenious 'bait' without the official attention.

In order to ensure that this bait would be discovered in a reasonable and inevitable way, they even went so far as to recruit a group of transmigrators from who-knows-where to serve as bait.

Moen roughly assessed the situation and realized that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was the one who had been caught off guard.

The plans of the Lu family and the Abyss Cult will likely go very smoothly.

In the capital city, which had probably been relatively peaceful for the past twenty years, cultists have emerged who are planning to summon demons or something.

Just thinking about it, Moen could guess that all eyes would be on the capital.

Even a significant portion of the surrounding defense forces would be diverted to protect the capital.

The city of Surras would be a very suitable target.

The city of Surras is the gateway to the capital of Baratheon.

Before the first Baratheon the Great established his capital, Sulas was a major military stronghold. After the first Baratheon established his capital, Sulas was expanded into the gateway to the imperial capital.

Additionally, Sulas was a gift from the first Emperor to the first Duke of Westeros.

In gratitude for the Westeros family's unwavering support for Baratheon during the founding of the kingdom.

Therefore, House Westeros is known as the sword and shield of Baratheon.

Upon the Queen's accession to the throne, in order to demonstrate loyalty and for amusement, he, the last Duke of Westeros, returned it to Baratheon.

At the time, this caused an unimaginable uproar.

Who could have imagined that the Grand Guild of Westeros would return the strategically important city of Surras to the already precarious Baratheon?

Recalling the people's reactions at the time, Moen felt a sense of satisfaction.

This is so much fun!

In short, according to past practice, if a threat appears outside of Suras, the capital's defense forces will naturally rush to Suras.

vice versa!

Now, they've seized on this convention and are making a fuss about it.

With the support of the Lu family, their chances of success are extremely high.

But that was before.

After watching the group of cultists leave, Moen knocked on the wall and came out.

Moen, with his hat brim pulled low, walked out in the opposite direction from them.

Moen had no intention of confronting these cultists head-on.

This is neither in line with Moen's principles nor with reality.

It's an action that looks incredibly stupid no matter how you look at it.

Moen's task was simple—call for help!

There's no reason to let so many people in the empire just sit around doing nothing!

-

After watching Elmeran leave, Potter finally had a chance to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

This woman seemed easy to deal with.

But what can you do when someone is in a position of power?

You always have to be careful when dealing with them.

Otherwise, someone might casually say something and then use it against you, and you, a nobody, would be in trouble.

But the interrogation must continue.

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way!

To Porter's surprise, he had only interrogated fewer than ten people in detail.

Potter then found his arm involuntarily tapping the table a few times.

After a moment of stunned silence, Potter immediately realized that this person wanted to see him!

Without time to think, Potter had someone else take his place.

After calming his slightly excited emotions, Potter walked out of the Overwatch House.

Porter did not come out blindly.

Potter knew from the few taps on the table that those were the secret codes used within their Oversight Council.

The first two quick strokes indicate the direction, while the last three strokes, indicating a change in position, indicate the specific location.

This discovery further convinced Potter, who had never doubted Moen's identity, that Moen was a big figure in the dark side of the Empire.

Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with the secret codes of the Overwatch Council?

But Porter never imagined that the Overwatch Council's secret code system was the same one that Mohn used.

I figured it out myself, so how could I not be familiar with it?

Sure enough, following the instructions in the secret code, Potter soon spotted a gentleman wearing an outdated top hat on the street.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't that the adult from last night?

"Sir, you called me here to ask about that lady, right? Don't worry, she's safely home. I handled everything perfectly, and there's absolutely no way you'll have to worry about her anymore!"

Potter was very pleased to hear this.

The first task has been completed very well!

If we keep up this effort, wouldn't we have a good chance of getting promoted?

However, Potter was a little curious as to why this gentleman was either dressed in strange clothes or outdated clothes.

Potter could tell from Moen's outfit that the materials used were of very high quality and meticulous craftsmanship, probably made by a top tailor using the finest fabrics.

Exactly, why does it taste so old-fashioned?

Upon closer inspection, this is clearly a style popular during the reign of the Duke of the Southern Border!

To put it nicely, this is outdated; to put it bluntly, it's definitely implying something.

"Is that girl safe now? That's good. Remember to take good care of her safety from now on."

Ireland's safety certainly cannot be entirely relied upon by Potter, that yellow-headed eagle, but not relying entirely on him is one thing, and whether or not to give him instructions is another matter entirely.

"Don't worry, sir, I understand!"

Porter quickly suppressed any other thoughts and began to seriously consider the present moment.

This is indeed a long-term task. Although it is troublesome, the more troublesome it is, the more it means that this person is willing to promote me!

To Porter's great surprise, after receiving an affirmative answer, this important figure gave him a pleasant surprise:

"Very well, then I should also keep my promise."

"S-lord?"

No, you should at least offer a small token of appreciation?

Are all important people this generous?

Porter instinctively thought of his boss.

I wouldn't say they'd embezzle your performance bonus, but they'd definitely be considered stingy and mean.

In comparison, Potter understood more and more what it meant to be a troublesome brat.

No wonder big shots are big shots; you can see the decisive difference in these small things!

However, Potter didn't have high expectations; he was just pleasantly surprised.

I didn't think Moen would give a very good reward.

After all, he himself felt that he hadn't made any real contributions.

What truly horrified Potter was that this important figure spoke to him so casually:

"Those Abyss Cultists in the capital were just bait. Everything you discovered last night was basically what they wanted you to see."

"Their real purpose is to draw everyone's attention to the capital, thereby increasing their convenience in the city of Suras."

"They plan to summon demons in the city of Suras, and the ritual is probably already prepared."

"Only you know about this right now. Report it to higher authorities, and you'll be rewarded by Silver Owl no matter what."

This is an absolutely unimaginable feat, if only Porter hadn't had no background or impressive qualifications.

Otherwise, based on this alone, Moen was certain he could become the Golden Eagle directly.
