Dekan stopped his announcement after covering the basic information about the company.
Although it was a good opportunity to promote the Rejoice Church, today's main event was dealing with the Resurgence Church.
Only after resolving the Resurgence Church could Dekan focus on settling scores with the Ice Princess.
With Viscount Lampard's strong support, the development of the Rejoice Group could proceed smoothly. There was no need to seize a little extra advertising time now.
So, Viscount Lampard and Dekan began the crucial interview segment.
"Firstly, to commemorate Mr. Dekan's residency in Tristin City, we will hold a special commemorative event."
While saying this, Viscount Lampard took out a summoning card.
The card's face featured Dekan's famous model card, "Captain Durrkan."
Then, Viscount Lampard summoned it and the chibi Dekan doll that fell to the ground began to wave greetings to the people in front of the screen.
"Wow, this doll looks so sassy."
"It's actually quite cute..."
"Is this the work of a special card maker?"
The audience discussed.
They could see on the screen the effects and detailed evaluation results of the card “Captain Durrkan.”
For those "without hatred towards Dekan," the taunting effect lasted for less than 0.1 seconds, even worse than the taunting effect of a regular tier 1 card.
The taunt could be released when the target just had the urge to clench their fists. It was like taunting in vain.
However, if someone harbored strong resentment towards Dekan, they could be taunted for several seconds and even lose their sanity completely.
Being taunted for 0.1 to 0.5 seconds was within the normal range.
Those taunted for 0.5 seconds might not necessarily hate Dekan; they were just annoyed by Captain Durkann’s expression.
Exceeding 0.5 seconds indicated at least a slight malicious intent towards Dekan.
After being insulted by Dekan, they might be taunted for more than 1 second.
And for 2 seconds or more, it meant that Dekan had thoroughly angered them.
This result was obtained from testing with ordinary prisoners in prison.
In the test, the two prisoners taunted the longest were around 5 seconds.
They were precisely the two Resurgence Church members captured by Dekan.
After confessing all the information honestly last night, they thought Dekan would stop torturing them as agreed.
Unexpectedly, before dawn, they received an indiscriminate beating! What's even more hateful was that the knights who beat them weren't interrogating them; they just wanted to beat them until they lost consciousness!
They hated it! But they had no way to resist!
Later, when they saw Captain Durrkan, they almost went crazy. It also allowed Dekan to obtain valuable experimental data.
"This is a blue rarity tier 1 summoning card crafted by Mr. Dekan."
Viscount Lampard began the explanation of "Captain Durrkan."
Although it seemed like a card that could only achieve its maximum effect when used by Dekan himself, Viscount Lampard urged everyone to think carefully.
"There is a certain group of people who harbor malicious and even hateful intentions towards Mr. Dekan. That group is the Resurgence Church."
"Surely you've heard about the magical airship hijacking incident yesterday. Three elite Resurgence Church members, all tier 5, hijacked the airship, threatening the lives of all passengers abroad, with the intention of taking Mr. Dekan away."
"However, Mr. Dekan not only successfully rescued all the passengers but also took down a formidable Resurgence Church member. The other two hijackers were also captured by Mr. Dekan."
As Lord Lampard spoke, the screen immediately switched to the thrilling replay of "Captain Durrkan" inducing the formally dressed man, who had lost his sanity, to jump off the airship to his death.
Originally, this footage recorded by the magical device in the cabin was not allowed to be made public. However, under Viscount Lampard's manipulation, it became a promotional video for this press conference.
The audience widened their eyes, watching the elite church member explode after being taunted by a tier 1 summoning card, and couldn't help but exclaim.
Although they had heard about the hijacking incident yesterday, they couldn't grasp the specific details. They initially thought the investigation details would take some time to be disclosed. Unexpectedly, the lord directly released the recording now.
The scene switched back to the interview.
"Mr. Dekan, seeing the footage just now, I can't help but be curious. How many Resurgence Church members have you taken care of so far?" Viscount Lampard suddenly asked.
"Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten so far?" Dekan smiled and replied with a counter-question.
"Haha. So, Mr. Dekan, do you think the Resurgence Church bears a high level of hatred towards you?" Viscount Lampard wasn't angered by Dekan's arrogant attitude; instead, his expression became even more excited.
"I'm quite confident about that," Dekan nodded slightly.
"If there’s anyone else who attracts the Resurgence Church's hatred more than me, it's probably my close friend, Mauleon Hanover."
"That being said, the Resurgence Church is really quite pitiful. They can't handle me and they are also being played around by Mauleon. Well, after all, I am Mauleon's exclusive card maker."
To further provoke Mauleon's hatred, Dekan even lied about being Mauleon's exclusive card maker.
"The Resurgence Church would come to deliver us food everytime. I really don't understand the purpose of this organization. They are a group of pitiful creatures who can't rise to prominence." Dekan couldn't help but sneer, shaking his head with disdain.
"Oooh!"
"What an insult!"
Dekan's remarks obviously stirred waves of cheers in the city of Tristin.
Ordinary citizens despised the Resurgence Church!
Although every word from Dekan sounded insanely arrogant, there were not many who dared to openly insult the Resurgence Church like this!
"Damn it..."
Watching the broadcast in the crowd, the Resurgence Church members were seething with hatred, grinding their teeth.
Even though they were watching through the screen, they wanted to castrate "Captain Durrkan" along with Dekan himself. But they still hadn't figured out what the lord and Dekan were up to.
The lord applauded, looking into the camera.
It seemed that they were finally ready to reveal today's most important content.
"Our official celebration event is called 'Mascots of the Tristin City'!"
"Today, Captain Durrkans will appear in every corner of Tristin City, bringing warm smiles and blessings to everyone!"
With the lord's words, many viewers in front of the screens noticed knights summoning "Captain Durrkan."
Tristin City had purchased over a thousand copies of "Captain Durrkan." This large batch of cards had been air-shipped from the capital this morning.
"Next, my dear citizens, you can interact with the mascot 'Captain Durrkan'!"
"Please help them spread smiles to others!"
"By participating in the event, you will have a chance to win a 'Captain Durrkan' as a prize!"
"Of course, if residents notice anyone attempting to attack 'Captain Durrkan” or suspicious individuals actively avoiding 'Captain Durrkan,” please inform nearby knights or law enforcement as soon as possible!"
The lord's voice echoed in every corner of Tristin City.
