Witch, Fireball and the Evil God of Steam-Chapter 926 - 195: The Most Dangerous Place Is the Safest Place

Early the next morning, the wanted poster for the fake priest "Old Sen" was plastered all over the streets and alleys of the Holy City. Anyone who could provide accurate information about "Old Sen's" whereabouts would receive up to 100 Salvation Contribution Points.

This once again demonstrated the Church's stinginess. Even for someone as heinous as Ethan, who despised the Pope and the entire Church Court, they were unwilling to offer real money as a reward for reporting. However, on the other hand, the Church Court had become adept at using tactics without cost. As soon as the wanted notice was posted, the residents of the Holy City flocked to earn these 100 Salvation Contribution Points. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

For the residents living at the bottom, this amount was already considered astronomical. They didn't know how many days they would need to work tirelessly in the mines or how many empire soldiers they would need to kill on the battlefield to receive the equivalent point reward.

The reasoning for the wanted notice naturally aligned with the Church Court's usual style—engaging in terrorist activities.

In just a few words, "Old Sen" had become the most dangerous person in the Far West recently.

Of course, they couldn't write the real reason on the wanted poster.

Insulting the pope?

Even if this charge could warrant such a dispatch, posting it all over the streets and alleys of the Holy City might make one feel that the pope was not magnanimous enough.

Foreseeing this situation, Ethan did not return to the inn after leaving the confession room. Instead, he took the opportunity when the enraged law enforcement team had gathered their personnel in the Crown of Dawn Cathedral, to slip in through the side door and blend into the church along the courtyard.

"I never thought you would do this."

Two cats and a person hid in one of the changing rooms of the Crown of Dawn Cathedral. Lindong listened to the comings and goings of church staff in the hallway, unable to conceal her excitement in her tone.

Leaving an insulting message about the pope on parchment didn't align with Ethan's usual style. From her understanding, Ethan had a typically defensive and retaliatory character. Ever since they've known each other, Ethan had almost never acted impulsively or engaged in verbal spats. Even when facing infamous figures like Duke Julius or Freeman, he would fully understand the situation before making a decision.

Lindong felt that with Ethan's capabilities, if he had a "confrontational personality," many matters could have been resolved more straightforwardly and violently.

Just like with Pope Carlo, a real terrorist wouldn't leave an insulting message on parchment; instead, he would break into Carlo's room before dawn and create a hole in his chest with wind magic, straight through to the other side.

"There's a reason for what I did."

Ethan whispered, "Haven't you heard the phrase, 'The most dangerous place is the safest place'?"

Damn, he's simply too tactical!

He couldn't help but want to praise himself, "The point of this tactic is not to insult Pope Carlo but to make that law enforcement team feel provoked and humiliated, prompting them to pursue me on a full-scale. In the long time ahead, they will thoroughly search places like inns and residences. They could never imagine that we would make a detour into the Crown of Dawn Cathedral."

This was, after all, the heart of the Life Divine Teachings. Pope Carlo himself, whom he insulted, was currently in the church. Furthermore, the various sect leaders he invited were all gathered here.

"What should we do next?"

Little Dark was also excited, sensing an opportunity for fun in the air.

If Ethan really planned to trigger a fireplace explosion incident at the Crown of Dawn Cathedral, she could be responsible for standing guard outside when the time came.

And she had heard that Pope Carlo monopolized power, so he must have collected many treasures. If the Pope unfortunately perished in the explosion, it would be a shame if these treasures lacked an owner!

She could temporarily manage these treasures for Carlo and return them when Carlo wins his revival match.

"Next, you two need to change back into human form."

The initial infiltration had been successful, but if he stood with a black and a white cat on either side of his shoulders, anyone would notice something was amiss.

Though unsure what Ethan was planning, Lindong and Little Dark complied.

Ethan summoned the yellow Little Potato, asking her to temporarily create a screen with earth elemental magic in the changing room, "You two, put on nun's outfits first."

Having said that, Ethan went to the other side of the partition. Over the days, he had gained some understanding of the Life Divine Teachings. He chose a grayish-blue bishop's robe and had the yellow Little Potato temporarily fashion a scepter symbolizing his identity.

A few minutes later, Lindong and Little Dark opened the partition door, falling into thought as they looked at Ethan seated on the chair.

"Are you sure this will work?"

Lindong was the first to question Ethan's plan.

With their current attire, Ethan's plan seemed to involve the three of them masquerading as clergy members to boldly infiltrate the Crown of Dawn Cathedral. However, in her view, none of the three resembled clergy in appearance or demeanor.

Firstly, their distinguishing features, such as white hair and red eyes—were there truly nuns like this—it would undoubtedly leave a deep impression on others in the Church Court. Encountering such an unfamiliar nun in the cathedral would naturally prompt anyone to question her.
