Magic Underachiever

Loud music fills every corner of the dimly lit bar. Thieves, killers, and mercenaries who will do anything for money enjoy drinks and women here. They get together to brag to each other and exaggerate their achievements to attract potential employers hidden here.

Colorful lights flashed, and the undressed girls swayed their waists on the stage, throwing the clothes they took off one by one to the whistling crowd below. Duncan, who came up from the underground stronghold, walked to the bar and sat down. After pushing away a dancer who came up to chat with him, he said to the waiter at the bar: "Give me a beer."

The waiter quickly brought the beer, and Duncan said, "Let your boss come to see me. I have a business to ask him for help."

"Okay, Mr. Duncan." The waiter responded in a low voice, then turned and walked backstage.

After a while, a man followed the waiter and walked over. The scar on his face from the corner of his mouth to the base of his ear was particularly glaring. The man took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, walked up to Duncan, poured him a glass of red wine, and then said: "This is the 'Elf Rhyme' that has been sought after by Saroyan celebrities recently. If you take a sip, you can Always remember its taste. It costs ten gold pounds a bottle directly from the winery that sells it, but its taste is definitely worth its price.

This cup is my treat to praise the great God. "

Duncan also whispered: "Praise the great God."

After Duncan took a sip of Elf Rhythm and showed an expression of enjoyment, the scarred man whispered to Duncan: "Mr. Duncan... you have business to ask me for help?"

Duncan pressed the brim of his felt hat and looked around to see that no one was paying attention. Then he said to the scarred man, "You should know Sir Charles."

Hearing this name, the scarred man was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Charles...that is a world-famous explorer. Are you going to cause trouble with him? I advise you not to take any chances with him. An accident to such a public figure would cause a lot of trouble. Moreover, Sir Charles came to Saroyan this time to explore the Death Desert, and he had the support of the Fromink Empire.

Once something happens to him, he will definitely let the 'cockroaches' blow up my place. "

Duncan said: "I'm not looking for you to hurt Charles. In fact, Charles may be an acquaintance of mine, and I want to check his identity.

I needed a professional tracker to track Charles for me, and I also wanted information on Charles from birth to the present. I know you have someone who can take on this kind of task, and I don’t limit the time of the task. This should be considered a relatively easy task..."

Hearing Duncan's description of the mission, the scarred man relaxed. Just tracking and collecting information is not difficult. As for what Duncan would do after getting Charles' whereabouts, habits and information, it was none of his business. Although he has joined the Church of Staring into the Abyss, believing in the Dread Lord does not mean that he has to sacrifice his life.

"No problem... Just leave this matter to me. I know who is suitable for these two tasks." The scarred man agreed, then turned to the waiter and said: "Give this gentleman another beer, it's mine... …”

Charles joined the Church of Staring into the Abyss when he was young, not using his real name. He also stood in an inconspicuous place when attending church gatherings. He had no friends and did not compete for power in the limelight. He just prayed very diligently to the Dread Lord to obtain divine power and study divine arts.

Until he decided to rescue Jessica and betray the Church of Staring into the Abyss, he was a believer with no sense of existence. He was able to participate in the large-scale calling ceremony hosted by the church's senior leaders because he used money to bribe a believer with status in the church.

Then he stared into the abyss and caused a massacre, leading himself to destruction.

After the Supreme Holy See wiped out the Gazing Abyss Church that had just gained a foothold in the mainland, the traitor who turned the whistle became the pain of the Gazing Abyss Church for more than ten years.

Staring into the abyss and returning to the Continent of Order this time, punishing this traitor is one of the things that must be done.

But when the survivors who stared into the abyss fled the Continent of Order under the pursuit of the Holy See, they had no chance to find out who the traitor was. Now that more than ten years have passed, it is very difficult to re-check.

The first step is to find those surviving believers who have not left the continent of Order. The traitors must be among them.

Sir Charles was now a public figure and his appearance was recognized by the original survivors. It's just that the name doesn't match, and the appearance is a little off. After all, there are many people who look alike in the world. In order not to make a mistake and reveal that Staring into the Abyss has returned to Saroyan, Duncan decided not to contact Charles directly, but to find a third party to conduct preliminary investigations.

After drinking the beer, Duncan returned to the underground stronghold through the secret door of the bar, which is also the church of the Saroyan branch of Staring into the Abyss.

On top of the altar is the statue of the Dread Lord Ergos, a red abyssal python. Unlike the God of Light of the Holy See, the God whom the Church of Staring into the Abyss believes in has an accurate image and a name... In the excavation of ancient ruins, deeds about this demon king can also be found.

These are the places where the Abyss-gazing believers feel superior to the Holy See.

On both sides of the statue below stood two nightmares with hellfire burning on their bodies. These are truly high-level creatures from hell. Obtaining them allowed Duncan to receive awards from the federation, and also allowed the Saroyan branch to receive more support from the federation. The president asked Duncan to make finding nightmare-making technology the most important task of the Saroyan branch.

At any cost!

Standing in front of the high-level hell creature nightmares that were born at the tenth level, Duncan couldn't help but be shocked by their beauty and majesty every time he saw them.

After joining the Gazing Abyss, the two nightmares behaved very cooperatively. They also liked the environment full of hell's chaotic atmosphere here, and were keen to spray a little flame to attract the worship of the Gazing Abyss believers. From the growth process, the two nightmares are still newly born juveniles, far from being as cunning and sophisticated as the old guys in hell, and are in a stage that is easy to control.

However, no matter how Duncan begs and pokes, when it comes to the creator, the two nightmares immediately shut up. That is a restriction engraved on their souls, and even hints cannot be made.

It seems that the only way is to find a way from their master, Father Titus.

But Speaker Peters' plan is to wait for Father Titus to come to the door himself. Duncan knew that Peters must have been spying on the method of making nightmares, and he also knew that the cooperation between the Church of Gazing at the Abyss and the Marcellus Council was mutually beneficial. After Speaker Peters got the method of making nightmares, he would definitely not share it with him.

Since the General Assembly has sent helpers, we should take the initiative to avoid the Council's investigation.
