Chapter 106: Huberley thought he was slightly insane

he sunset poured in. It cascaded down like a string of pearls scattered across a tranquil sea, blending with the fierce flames rising from the ground, as if heaven and hell met here.At this moment, th...Chapter 107 Huibilian felt he was a little crazy.

In the grounds of Ictereus Academy, a tranquil woodland path glitters like an emerald jewel. Autumn sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the slate stone pathway. {Write to here I hope readers remember our domain name}

Huberly, who was originally walking down the road to the Artificer's Institute, suddenly stopped. Her amber eyes were full of disbelief, as if she doubted Lanci's sanity.

Her fingers clutched Ranchi's coat tightly, as if afraid he would jump off the cliff.

"How, how could you possibly go and ask the Cardinal of the Resurrection Church!"

Hepburn looked around, pulled Lynch to the edge of the forest path, and whispered.

This school.

not.

There has never been a crazy student in this world who would go to visit the bishop of the Revival Church!!

Moreover, even if we were to concede that point.

"The Search for the Slate Holders" wasn't some death-defying, end-of-term project designed by the Ictereth Academy to kill off students!

Huberli knew that others might be going mad.

But Lance is really crazy, he can talk the talk and walk the walk.

She didn't dare to go, nor did she dare to let Lan Chi go around alone!

"I really think we could go big. With the information blockade between the North and South Continents, when the time comes, we can disguise ourselves, take on new identities, cross the sea to the North Continent, and infiltrate the Annihilation branch of the Resurrection Church."

Lancelyn whispered to Huberlian, explaining things quietly.

"At that time, we'll try to make the most of our strengths and gradually climb higher in the church. Then, we'll have a chance to meet Bishop Asksang."

The more he spoke, the more enthusiastic he became, as if he couldn't wait to start the tasks planned for this project.

"And, Huberlian, think about it! Since our Allied side has the rule of observing the monolith tablets, perhaps there are disciples on the Resurrection Church's side who also have a way to observe the bishop's tablets!"

Hubert was completely dumbfounded, standing there for a long time in stunned silence.

She immediately covered her forehead and shook her head.

Huperliane wasn't sure if she'd gone bad after hanging out with Lanci for too long, or if Lanci's plan was actually feasible. She found herself thinking that this scheme wasn't that much more dangerous than what they had done at the Demon Academy that night!

Between the North and South Continents lies a treacherous Sea of Ethereal Calamity, a catastrophic disaster that engulfed the world after the failure of the Nine Realms Shadow World a thousand years ago. It has yet to naturally subside.

On that stretch of sea, the chaotic storm of magical energy made spells nearly ineffective and communication magic between the North and South Continents impossible. Information could only be brought by regularly scheduled large merchant ships or powerful individuals braving the crossing.

So they went to the northern continent, almost like two newcomers who just appeared out of thin air.

If we could find a way to get more information from a South Continent follower of the Revival Cult, maybe even get their identity, then we could legally infiltrate the Revival Church on the North Continent as a member!

"Ranche, are you sure you really want to choose this topic"

Huperlyan swallowed nervously and asked Lance.

If you promise, I'll choose it.

Lanche nodded, his eyes clear and resolute.

"…"

Huaiberlian bit her lower lip, feeling increasingly uneasy.

What she worried about wasn't that they would be too dangerous after joining the Resurrectionist Church, because Lane was already a danger.

She wasn't worried that they would be misunderstood by the Kingdom Alliance if they joined the Resurrection Church. The Kingdom Alliance already had suspicions about them.

What truly terrified Huberleyan was — based on her experience — that once Lance entered such a forbidden place, he would adapt with incredible speed and grasp things normal people couldn't even fathom, evolving into something terrifying!

Huberlian is very worried that Ranchi's plan to infiltrate will be exposed and he accidentally becomes a high-ranking member of the Revival Church!

By then, the two of them would have become infamous villains across the Northern Continent. When they returned to the Southern Continent, it would be truly impossible to wash away their reputation!

Kieran now stared intently at Lance's eyes.

I think that even if I don't go myself.

He will certainly find an opportunity to run and look for the Bishop of Oblivion.

Hughbert was even less trusting of him being left alone to run wild.

"You're really getting on my nerves! Fine, I'll go with you. So what's the plan"

Huperlyan sighed with a helpless expression and agreed.

She knows Lance definitely has some scheme up his sleeve.

"Hughberry, you understand, right As long as we can catch the Resurrectors here in South Continent, we can impersonate them and get into the Resurrectors' church in North Continent much easier."

Lance asked.

"Well, I think so too, but where do we find the Resurrected"

Hubert nodded solemnly.

It's hard enough to defeat those strange and unpredictable cultists, let alone capture them alive for interrogation.

Even if caught, there are national laws that prohibit private trials of cult members.

Because there have been cases in the past where people who interacted deeply with cult members unknowingly fell into decline themselves.

The kingdom's side requires that captured cult members be handed over directly, also considering the safety of its citizens.

"Huperlian, actually there must be spies from the Resurrection Cult within our very school. That's the only way to guarantee they can snipe us in the Shadow World."

Lan Qi's expression gradually became serious.

It seems they couldn't catch the criminal, which has been bothering him ever since.

After the last Shadow World experience, Lance knew that encountering the followers of the Resurrection Cult who were after Hubert in the Shadow World was no coincidence. Someone must have been watching them from afar, without a trace, within the school itself.

As they were heading towards the building that sealed the void gate, the traitor used communication magic to deliver intel into the hands of many cultists. The cultists began matching up around the same time, increasing their chances of encountering Huberlian's shadow realm and hunting her down within it.

"Do you want to catch that spy and interrogate them"

Hearing this, Huberly also felt a few points of tension.

She never felt any trace of being watched, but as Lynch said, there must be someone in the academy who leaked information to the Resurrection Church.

"Don't even bother trying to catch that thing, my teacher can't even find it."

Lance shook his head helplessly.

Last time, Lance took advantage of Talia's seemingly good mood and brought up the issue of "there might be assassins from the Resurrection Cult targeting him and Huberlian" within the academy.

Although there was a degree of "flimflam Talia into doing the work" to it, Talia surprisingly agreed simply to investigate for him.

Even with Talia's abilities, after secretly observing the surroundings of Lance and Huberrian for a period of time, she found no one monitoring either of them.

Then there is only one answer.

He must be that spy who has perfectly integrated into the students, using the most primitive and yet irrefutable ordinary observation method — observing naturally in daily life, silently paying attention to them.

This would mean that the culprit wouldn't leave any trace, making it nearly impossible to fish for and apprehend them legally.

Once Lance and Huberlian enter the Shadow Realm, information will still leak to the Resurrection Cult.

After hearing Lancy's explanation, Huberlian felt a mixture of anxiety and an indescribable sense of relief in her heart.

When she felt a sense of panic because she couldn't cope with an invisible observer, Lanchi had already made all the preparations and thought out responses for every possible situation.

This feeling of having someone to rely on, she could only experience it when her father was still around.

Next time, I should also go to your teacher's door and thank him/her in person...

"Huberly spoke with great gratitude, but then her voice faltered,"

"However... If I were to upset her, would you mind apologizing on my behalf..."

Although Huberly was curious about how someone could be so skilled at handling a ranch like that, as a student.

But she calmed down and thought, not everyone would be as friendly to demons as Lance.

For this demon, reviled by humans, to brazenly visit Lanchi's teacher would only anger him.
