Chapter 152: A Letter
With the death of the Fallen Heavenly Divine Envoy, the monsters that had been berserk before also lost their source of power and became weak again. Not only had they lost the power they had originally received from the Fallen Divine Envoy, but they had even become weaker due to the after-effects of the berserk, and they could hardly even climb up. In the face of these weakened enemies, Patilina had no mercy, and directly swept all the knights in magic armor clean, and all the mending knives that did not die were completed. It didn't take long for the cultists and their evil army to be swept away into the garbage heap without mercy.
Frankly, there's nothing to clean in the cultists' lair. Jenn took Deli to examine it carefully, and in addition to the cultist-specific doctrines and equipment that the gods were talking about for no use, all that was left were skinned corpses, and of course, there were also boxes of treasure and goods, which were probably left behind after the cultists plundered the caravan.
According to the rules, those gold and silver treasures were accepted by Jenn, after all, without his help this time, it would be absolutely impossible for Dai Li to defeat these cultists and their army. Therefore, it was only natural to give these treasures to Jenn, and Jenn naturally accepted them unceremoniously. These treasures are not much, but they can also fill the gap in the dungeon. Anyway, I got it in exchange for my own sweat, so I can take it when I need to. So for these treasures, Jenn directly asked all the magic knights under his command to pack up and take them away.
As for the goods, Jenn was very generous to give them to Dali. This is because the goods, although valuable, are of little use to Jenn. It's all cloth, spices, and some daily necessities. For Jenn, these things don't really mean much. As an opportunist though. Jenn still used this as a reason to exchange a considerable amount of various ores and crystals from Dale. Of course, on the surface, Jenn's reason was to build Starfall Fang's manor, and Deli didn't doubt it, so she nodded happily and agreed.
However, Deli's good mood did not last long, because soon, Jenn searched the room of the cultist leader for a letter. The above explains Delily's plan in great detail. And who she will bring, and even the strength of her and Dobby is listed on it, including the path of action. The composition and number of personnel can be described as the most standard and intimate whistleblower letter. Seeing this letter, Dai Li's face suddenly became quite ugly, although Jenn had already told her that she was definitely a snitch in the family. But at that time, Dai Li still had some hope. Maybe these cultists gathered their information somewhere. After all, she carried the banner of the Pawood family, and with so many people, it was easy to be noticed along the way. But now, the last trace of naΓ―ve thoughts in her heart has also disappeared, and the plan on it was originally drawn up by herself, and the content of it has only been told to a limited number of core figures of the Pawood family, so it is certain that this is definitely a leak. As for who it was, Deli had almost an idea in her heart. But that's not what worries her. Although she is a mage, she is first and foremost a nobleman. For the aristocracy, political struggle is a talent for survival. As long as Deli can return to the Pawood family safely, she has a way to clean up the other party.
But before that, there was something more important for Deli to do.
"Mr. Jenn..............."
Deli looked at Jenn with a gloomy face, and watched the latter squint his eyes and put away the letter with a smile, feeling that he was about to turn into an ice sculpture.
"You......... How are you going to deal with it? β
"I think Miss Dellie knows what I mean."
Hearing Dale's words, Jenn glanced at the girl beside her.
"The evidence of the Pawood family's collusion with the cultists is overwhelming......... Well, what do you think I should do? β
"But, however, it was definitely not the decision of the Pawood family, Mr. Jenn. I can assure you that most of us don't even know about these cultists, it's just ............"
"Then how about I can just behead the evil and not ask the coercion?"
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Dai Li was even more speechless, unable to say half a word. In fact, from Jenn's standpoint, his choice is quite normal. It can even be said that Jenn's promise to only clean up the person who had fornicated with the cultist was already a great shame for Deli. But for Deli, the problem is not that, whether Jenn kills one person or the whole family, as long as he does it, then the Pawood family is finished. Because others must be curious as to why a decorated nobleman would attack the Pawood family. And then, once the collusion between the Pawood family and the cultists is exposed, then the Pawood family's honor will plummet. When the time comes, not only will the Templar Order come to the door, but even the Federation will not let them go.
Although it is a well-known secret that the nobles had an affair with the cultists, it is different when it is put on the surface. It's like many celebrities in the entertainment industry like to take drugs, but I haven't seen anyone who hasn't been arrested and cleaned up after being discovered.
As a member of the Pawood family, Dai Li knows very well what the mess between the Federation has become, and she can believe that as long as the Pawood family's collusion with the cultists is exposed, then the Federation will definitely show its greedy face and directly roast them and stew them on a plate. At that time, not to mention the Pawood family's position, even their land and property may have to be transferred.
However, the rise and fall of House Pawood has nothing to do with Jenn, who is a decorated nobleman and is protected by the Templar Order. No matter which family took possession of the land, it was impossible to get Starfall Fang back from Jenn, so he didn't have to care about the life or death of the Pawood family.
As for bribing the other party............ Judging from what Deli has seen and heard in these days, it may be quite difficult, in her eyes, Jenn is quite a proud young man, and he also has the strength and wealth to match this pride. The power that can supply a master knight of nearly a hundred people is far from being comparable to that of his own family. Unless the Pawood family was willing to hand over the power in their hands to Jenn, it was hard for Deli to imagine any way to get the decorated nobleman to open up to her family.
However, this is obviously impossible, and if you want the nobles to hand over their power, it is better to let them die.........
For a while, Dailie didn't know what to do.
"Mr. Jenn, I beg you to spare the Pawood family, I can assure you that it was just an accident."
In the end, she could only bow her head and plead helplessly. Hearing Delily's pleading, Jenn narrowed his eyes and paused.
"An accident......... Well......... An unexpected ........."
Looking at Dai Li's expression, Jenn was also moved in his heart. To be honest, it's not a good idea to deal with the Pawood family right now, but he has to be tough, at least not to make the other party think that he is the kind of good guy who listens to whatever he says. Looking at the slender figure of Deli in front of her, it's a pity that she didn't commit it in the hands of herself as a dungeon lord, otherwise Jenn could have directly demanded that she pay her debts. And now, as a knight, at least he is not good at making such a direct request on the surface. Even if Deli would choose to wronged herself for the sake of her family, it would not be a good choice for Jenn -- at least not on the surface.
But if the other person has this idea, then it's a different story. The human heart is a very complex thing, and Jenn happens to be a master of manipulating people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Jenn's heart moved slightly, he already had an idea.
"I can give the Pawood family a chance, Miss Delly."
Hearing this, Dai Li immediately raised her head, her bright eyes mixed with surprise that she couldn't believe. In fact, she already felt that the end of the world was coming, and maybe she had a way to escape, but the Pawood family was afraid that it would be difficult to escape. But now it seems that Jenn actually intends to let the Pawood family go? For a moment, Deli even felt as if she was dreaming, but soon, she immediately reacted.
"Mr. Jenn, what do you mean ............!?"
"A chance, for your sake as I fight, Miss Delly. I can put the honor of killing the cultists into your hands..............."
With that, Jenn held out a finger to Deli. And Deli apparently understood what Jenn meant, obviously, if she was Jenn's companion. Then it was a normal choice for Jenn to leave the investigation of the cultists to her, and if Deli did a good enough job, then the Pawood family would be safe. But on the other hand, if Deli doesn't do well, then Jenn will take action directly, and at that time, the Pawood family will be finished. So the key now is whether or not Deli can complete this task and completely eliminate the power of the cultists who are entrenched within the Pawood family.
"I assure you, Mr. Jenn, I will destroy that traitor!"
After returning to the present world from hell, Deli also relaxed a lot, and soon, she solemnly reassured Jenn. And when he saw Dai Li's appearance, Jenn raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? It seems that you already have a target candidate? β
"Yes, Mr. Jenn."
Hearing Jenn's inquiry, Dai Li nodded solemnly.
"In fact, I already know who the traitor is hiding within the family." (To be continued......)
