Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 400 - 15: Spies of the Church Court

A stone thrown stirred up a thousand waves.

Not only were the knights present shocked, but even the surrounding soldiers were astonished.

"We know about the Devil...but who is the Enchanting Demon Queen?"

However, Bruno’s expression remained unchanged, his thoughts slightly heavy.

Was this red-haired woman a direct descendant of the Enchanting Demon Queen? If last night’s mutant event was really caused by this red-haired woman, then what was the real purpose of the Enchanting Demon Queen?

"What is your name?" Aske asked the speaking Prison Watcher Priest.

"Mark, Duke," the priest responded politely with a nod.

"Excellent logical reasoning, Priest Mark," Aske said with a smile, "Based on your reasoning, your Prison Watchers ought to be spies for the Church Court."

The surrounding soldiers immediately burst into an uproar. What? These people are spies for the enemy? Is their Prison Watcher identity fake?! freёnovelkiss.com

"Heh." Knight Captain Antonio laughed angrily, "Touched a sore spot and started to make wild accusations, have you?"

"The reason is simple," Aske pointed at a device in the distance, "That bloodline detection equipment is made using Church Court’s scientific technology, only the Church could manufacture such high-tech equipment."

"So, those of you who have access to such equipment, must be key figures in the Church Court camp, also known as the enemy of Your Majesty."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Several knights at the front, upon hearing this, couldn’t contain their hostility and immediately drew their swords.

This guy is right. That bulky mass of metal, anyone walking beside it could be identified as either a human or a Transcendent, clearly the miraculous work of Church Court’s technology.

And you still say you aren’t spies for the Church Court?!

I... Antonio was momentarily choked by the questioning and roared out of frustration and embarrassment,

"What a load of crap! Couldn’t we have just bought this device from the Church Court?"

"And why couldn’t we have bought the knowledge and formulas for the Enchanting Demon Bloodline from other Transcendents?" Aske countered.

Antonio: ......

Other Prison Watchers: ......

Damn it, this guy’s tricky! This thought crossed the minds of all Prison Watchers at once.

"We Prison Watchers are a global organization with the resources and networks to purchase equipment from the Church Court," Priest Mark said, "The knowledge and formula for the Enchanting Demon Bloodline would be even more expensive compared to Church Court equipment, where would you get the money for that? And why would someone sell it to you?"

"Prison Watchers." The knights split to both sides, and the Duke of Bavaria stepped forward, "My daughter is also in this Mercenary Group, do you still doubt them?"

The Prison Watchers were collectively speechless. The Duke of Bavaria was well known to them, and if even the Duke’s daughter was a companion of these people, then finance and connections were certainly not a problem.

Speaking of which, how did the Duke’s daughter get involved with the Mercenary Group? Could it be a group of well-backed young elites banding together for some adventure?

Priest Mark gave a covert glance to Knight Captain Antonio: With the Duke of Bavaria stepping forward to back up this Enchanting Demon and her companions, it seemed impossible to deal with them in the short term.

Better to take a gradual approach.

"Well then," Dragon of Imagination Bruno also spoke up, "If you Prison Watchers cannot provide absolute proof that she is the Devil, let’s end this matter here."

"It cannot end here," Antonio said coldly, "Our mission as Prison Watchers is to eradicate all Devils. Even if you interfere and resolve this situation here, as long as the mystery of the town Devil remains unsolved, my colleagues will continue my mission to thoroughly investigate this strange occurrence."

Bruno furrowed his brows, his expression clearly uncomfortable.

It wasn’t that the stubborn, clingy attitude of the other party had angered him, but rather that Bruno knew this was typical behavior for the organization of Purgatory’s Jailer.

They were obsessed with annihilating Devils, nearly to the point of obstinacy—not only targeting natural-born Devils but also certain families of Transcendents with Devil Bloodline, all of whom were on their hit list.

Now that the Magic Tide had just passed and the high-tech equipment was yet to rise. If some more time passed and the corresponding military production lines were restored, the Purgatory’s Jailer Knights dressed in Power Armor and armed with high-frequency vibration swords would swarm in.

Even if it meant nothing to a Demigod, for the Knights and soldiers under his command, it would pose a certain military threat.

Therefore, if possible, it was better not to get tangled with Purgatory’s Jailers.

Utilizing Mind Communication, he discussed the situation on-site with the Emperor and Hedwig in the distance, then the Dragon of Imagination spoke,

"We can allow your troops to conduct an investigation, as the mastermind behind last night’s Devil Mutant poses a certain threat to us too."

"However, you must not interrogate our soldiers at will, nor hinder our normal military operations. Even if your investigation yields results, you cannot arrest anyone arbitrarily; you must first report to me."

This proposal was a concession, so the Purgatory’s Jailers agreed.

Thus, the matter was temporarily put to rest. The Imperial Army progressed, and the Purgatory’s Jailers squad split into two groups.

One group headed to the small town where the Devil Mutant occurred to conduct an investigation, while the other group silently followed the Imperial Army, as if nothing had happened.

It seemed as though they were prepared for a prolonged campaign.

The girls of The Azure Longsword looked at each other, their gazes shifting between Medea and Aske, unsure of what to do. Only to hear the Dragon of Imagination, Bruno, say to the Duke of Bavaria,

"Duke, these two under your command, I wish to speak with them."

"Please feel free," the Duke of Bavaria nodded.

The Dragon of Imagination turned his head, and then both Aske and Medea heard a voice inside their minds:

Follow me.

After a brief explanation to the girls, Aske and Medea followed the Dragon of Imagination, Bruno, away.

Arriving on the other side of the mountain path, they could see the soldiers’ ranks winding like a long dragon on the mountain path, unable to see the end at the front or rear.

Bruno approached a war horse, which seemed to receive a command to kneel halfway, waiting for Bruno to mount, after which it stood up and carried the Demigod forward.

Two Blade Warriors led over two other war horses, signaling for them to mount.

Medea, feeling uneasy, looked at Aske, who patted her shoulder, signaling that she shouldn’t worry.

I’ve got you.

"So, what do you plan to do?" Seeing that the Dragon of Imagination had gone far, Medea couldn’t help but start a Mind Communication and asked Aske.

"Get on his good side first," Aske’s response was succinct.

Get on his good side? Medea paused, whose good side ... the Dragon of Imagination’s?

Wait, she suddenly recalled something:

The purpose of their journey was to find out who was subtly influencing the Emperor Otto’s mind over a long period.

Speaking of influencing minds, couldn’t this Dragon of Imagination, whose prime sequences were "Mind" and "Dream," be the prime suspect?
