The lord's carriage was moving on the streets in the center of Tristin City.
There was a commotion ahead, causing the carriage to come to a halt.
Another "actor" had been found by Captain Durrkan.
However, this "actor" was fleeing desperately.
It seemed like they didn't want to be mocked by Captain Durrkan at any cost.
Behind the "actor" was a large group of people with smiles on their faces and knights holding potions and syringes.
The sight of the entire town going mad made the knights escorting the carriage involuntarily twitch at the corners of their eyes.
Was this hellish scene really the Tristin City they were familiar with?
Just yesterday, Tristin City was fine.
How did the atmosphere change overnight?
The carriage stopped and waited for several seconds.
The road ahead not only showed no signs of clearing, but it was also getting increasingly congested.
It seemed that due to the insufficient strength of the patrolling knights, they couldn't catch the "actor."
"What's happening?" A puzzled voice came from inside the carriage.
"There's someone running ahead, blocking the road." The guard knight replied.
Upon hearing this, Dekan lifted the curtain of the carriage, took a look, and then withdrew his hand, letting the curtain fall.
"Take care of him." Dekan's indifferent voice echoed again from inside the carriage.
"Understood, Mr. Dekan."
After the tier six guard knight gave that response, he quickly took out a vial of potion and headed towards the direction of the "actor."
Although using such unsightly methods was unbefitting of a knight, upon careful consideration, it was evident that dealing with terrorists from the Resurgence Church who would threaten the safety of civilians with self-destruction, poison was quite effective.
Even though the things produced by Dekan were dark, there might be no turning back from them once used.
Many knights now really wanted to get their hands on the cards made by Dekan.
Such as the famous "Extremely Poisonous Spike," "Hypnotic Gas," and so on.
Wasn't this more effective than the way of the knights?
Crushing evil was true justice!
Inside the carriage.
"Will we mistakenly apprehend many people today?" Viscount Lampard looked at Dekan with some concern and asked.
"No worries. If they're not Resurgence Church members, I'll clear their names." Dekan responded casually.
"Alright then, I'll leave these people to you." The lord naturally understood Dekan's implication.
The method Dekan mentioned to "clear their names" might be somewhat harsh.
It essentially meant interrogating them all thoroughly.
Those who endured several rounds of painful questioning without confessing, even to the point of death, could be considered not affiliated with the Resurgence Church.
However, Dekan believed that those who were caught today, regardless of whether they were members of the Resurgence Church, were not wronged.
People who ran away at the sight of Captain Durrkan had a certain nature. There was no need for further explanation. Even if they were not Resurgence Church members, those who harbored inexplicable hostility towards Dekan deserved to be arrested and interrogated. Who knows, there might be some pleasant surprises.
This was a great opportunity for Dekan to conduct a comprehensive screening for humanity. One of his ultimate goals was to sell "Captain Durrkans" as an essential anti-terrorism summoning card worldwide, making it a permanent presence in every city.
This way, no one would dare harbor ill will towards Dekan. The world would become incredibly beautiful, filled only with love, peace, and goodwill.
Soon, with the help of the guard knights, the streets were cleared again. After receiving their new points, the crowd hurriedly took the Captain Durrkans to find other "actors."
The carriage set off again towards the Tristin Magic Academy.
For Dekan and the lord, getting as close as possible to the Ice Princess was the best choice of action right now. The Resurgence Church probably had other extremely tough contingency plans.
After all, capturing the Ice Princess was crucial for the Resurgence Church. They likely had prepared Plan B and even Plan C to ensure a one hundred percent success rate.
For now, it could be said that exposing the Resurgence Church members disrupted their rhythm. The encounter that was originally hopeless now became evenly matched.
Dekan and Viscount Lampard's carriage was already on the way to the Tristin Magic Academy.
The broadcast at twelve was only a recording. They had already finished recording well in advance. The reason the event was officially released at noon was that they had to wait for the goods, the Captain Durrkan cards, to be transported from the royal capital.
Dekan's "Captain Durrkan" cards were much more numerous than the "Goblin Gangster" cards. After all, Dekan rarely used "Goblin Gangster." Although Goblin Gangster was wicked, its weaknesses were quite apparent. Its body was fragile and susceptible to AOE attacks, often being killed by enemies before activating its effect.
Of course, the most crucial aspect was that the "Goblin Gangster" didn't align well with Dekan's core deck archetype - pain.
On the other hand, "Captain Durrkan" was a versatile card frequently used by Dekan. Since this card was often sacrificed and consumed, Dekan would create a few as backups for daily practice.
Additionally, once the quantity of this card became too high, its functionality would undergo a qualitative change.
Dekan had always looked forward to the day when he could use thousands of "Captain Durrkan" cards to create a super cool spiritual pollution. Over time, Captain Durrkan's inventory had accumulated into a whole box with thousands of cards.
However, a large number of "Captain Durrkan" cards were stored in Dekan's dormitory, a place no one could enter without his permission as he had the key to his dormitory.
Fortunately, there was someone who could easily open Dekan's door. That person was Dekan's good companion and his most trusted locksmith – Cornelia.
With Dekan's permission, Cornelia opened the door to his dormitory at once and helped him move the inventory of "Captain Durrkan" cards from the workshop to Tristin City.
Cornelia was able to receive the message promptly and rush over all thanks to Viscount Lampard's urgent contact with the Hevenlit Magic Academy last night.
Finally, the principal of the Hevenlit Magic Academy informed Cornelia and Croix to take the goods Dekan needs and ride the early magical airship to Tristin City for a social practice activity.
"I didn't expect to have to call you guys again," Dekan said with a somewhat helpless smile.
Now, the three-person team gathered again, all sitting in this carriage.
This would be their second official team-building activity!
Cornelia: "I, I'm very happy. The principal said it's for pra,practical learning and not,not skipping class!"
Croix: "Me too. Finally, I can travel with you guys."
Dekan: "I would like to thank the both of you for all your troubles!"
Dekan expressed his gratitude in advance, especially to Croix. After all, there were many people waiting for Croix to interrogate.
Dekan wanted to quickly give those mistakenly captured individuals a fair trial.
However, the most important task at the moment was to guard the Ice Princess. She couldn't be allowed to be captured by others.
