This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 620 - 539: Talent is a Big Issue

Looking at the cartloads of gold and silver jewelry, Lette's expression was solemn, but inside, he still felt a bit stirred.

Goodness, asked these guys to go fetch some supplies.

And now they've hit a big one in one go.

After a brief interrogation, Lette was even more pleasantly surprised.

Archbishop Charles, this name he had been hearing quite a lot recently.

After saving the entire village chief, Lette had settled down here.

On one hand, it was to help the villagers rebuild their homes. On the other hand, it was to prevent Dark Corrosion from making a comeback.

In the meantime, he could also monitor the health status of those highlanders who had once suffered from Dark Corrosion.

These, all were crucial information, to collect as much as possible.

Over the past few days, Lette had gathered quite a lot of important intelligence from chatting with the villagers.

Including local customs of this world, distribution of power, the development and current status of the Light God Sect, the power structure within the Divine Sect, and several notable clergy members.

Among them, Archbishop Charles, he truly has a notorious reputation!

This person, even if not literally rotten to the core, is immoral to an extreme degree!

Not to mention other past misdeeds, just say what this bastard has done recently.

Under his instructions!

Those pitiable villagers suffering from Dark Corrosion received no treatment; instead, they were branded as sinners.

According to him, those sinners who suffer from Dark Corrosion got this terrible curse due to their own sins.

God does not save them because they must repay their sins with their suffering.

As if that wasn't enough, this bastard colluded with the noble class to evict these poor sinners from their original villages and homes.

Then, by the Church Court's special confiscation order, he and the nobles divided these lands, treating them as unclaimed territories.

Just by using this method to expel sinners and seize land, Archbishop Charles amassed unimaginable wealth.

Of course, his brazen actions must be connected to the higher-ups in the Church Court.

This load of gold and silver jewelry was his gift to silence other high-ranking members.

It can be foreseen that these items are probably not even half of what he has looted.

Looking at those trembling convoy personnel, Lette suddenly laughed.

"Dake, let them all go."

The Inspection Team Captain was immediately stunned: "Let them go? Let them?

Divine Envoy, why?"

"If we don't let them go, who will inform Archbishop Charles that we have confiscated their caravan's assets?"

Dake was even more puzzled: "Divine Envoy, you... what are you planning to do?"

Lette looked at the cart of gold and silver jewelry with his hands behind his back: "Dake, to take down the snake, you have to figure out how to lure the snake out of its hole.

If we kill these people or detain them here.

Then Charles will lose the trail, and since the stuff here is all acquired illegally, he definitely wouldn't dare to investigate openly.

In the end, this matter would fade away.

Do you want to see that outcome?"

Dake hesitated, but soon a surge of unwillingness spread in his heart.

No! This cannot end like this! He's done so many bad things, yet suffered so little loss.

For him, this might not even count as a loss.

It can't just end like this!"

Lette appreciatively patted his shoulder: "That's the attitude an inspection member should have.

If you were a robber, this would be the result you most want to see.

If you are the Inspection Team Captain, you would want to continue investigating, keep fighting until the truth comes out, and let Charles get the punishment he deserves!

So, we can't just let it end like this.

Let them go back, naturally, Charles wouldn't let it be."

Dake's eyes immediately lit up: "I understand now, Divine Envoy!

If Charles doesn't give up, he will definitely make more moves. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Then we can catch him red-handed and uncover more of his evidence!

Once there's enough evidence, we can bring him down!"

Lette raised a finger: "This is called, playing the long game, catching the big fish!

Go, release them all!"

"Yes, Divine Envoy!"

The Inspection Team Captain was utterly admiring Lette at this moment and immediately turned to get the job done.

"Wait a moment!"

Lette suddenly called him, then showed a well-meaning smile.

"To prevent this Archbishop Charles from not taking the bait, remember to give these convoy managers a ticket.

Write on it that their items are suspected of illegal activity and have been confiscated by the Inspection Team.

Additionally, write that Archbishop Charles is suspected in a major incident of unexplained wealth, and should report to our office immediately to clarify this matter.

Otherwise, face the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Dake chuckled: "Divine Envoy, you are wise. This way, we act with reason and justification. That Archbishop Charles surely won't endure it, he will come to retaliate against us.

By then, we won't be afraid of not catching him by the tail!"

Dake was so excited that he almost left in a run.

After he left, Lette returned to his room alone and took out a self-made Magic Device.

The makeshift contraption was somewhat rough, but at least it could function properly.

As Lette injected Holy Light Power, the Magic Device slowly operated, establishing a connection with the Fairy Tale Subspace.

Compared to communication between worlds, this kind of connection between the world and the Element Subspace is a bit easier.

"Boss, how are things over there?"

Pino the Master of Fairy Tales sounded a bit weary; as the manager of the entire Fairy Tale Subspace, he had too many matters to handle daily.

"Everything is going smoothly on my side, but there really aren't many people I can use at hand."

Lette sighed: "Talents, oh talents, the phrase that talents are the most expensive really is true.

Without capable people, a lot of things have to be done personally, it's tough."

The Liar Demon also lamented: "Boss is right, it's truly exhausting to death!"

"I ask you, how is Alice's Ideal World recovering now? Can it be used yet?"

The Liar Demon pondered for a moment: "Hard to say, for now, it is still unusable.

Boss, you should know about your own Holy Artifact.

Recovery is not that quick.

After all, it's just a Holy Artifact."

Lette frowned: "Nonsense, I could upgrade it to become a Divine Artifact, but then could Alice still handle it?

If such a thing turns into a Divine Artifact, one mishap..."

"Ahem, that's also true...that thing is really dangerous. But boss, this thing wasn't originally meant for cross-world travel anyway.

This counts as an extra feature of an extra feature, it can't be pushed too hard, right?"

Lette rubbed his temples: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

The Liar Demon sighed: "If worse comes to worst, should you try... summoning a few Fairy Spirits to serve first?

Here, every one of them is talented!"
