Chapter 522: Roleplaying as the messenger of [Decay]

Roleplaying as the messenger of 【Decay】

"Still have a chance" wasn't empty words from Cheng Shi.

Before time was reset, he had thought about how to pass this trial, and the chance he mentioned was actually hidden in this method.

Poison had said that the reason she came to the Rosna Empire was because she saw a scroll about the Rosna Empire on the skin of that mummy. And at this moment, it was clear that the gathering held at the Recruitment Square hadn't been held yet, which meant that the person surrounded in the middle might not have appeared in the sight of Cheng Shi and his group.

One must know, that person was holding a dagger, and Poison was very sure that it was the 【Gift of Scars】.

Thinking about it this way, the teleportation array might not be the only clue. Everyone might have missed some key information. That 【Gift of Scars】 might not have returned to Kanna in the form of a teleportation array; it might have been there all along, just not found by Cheng Shi and the others.

But the sea of people is vast, where can the players go to find the lost dagger again?

No need to find it. Cheng Shi never thought about spending great effort to find that dagger and the person holding it; he had a target from the very beginning.

Using the teleportation array to trace the source was the first solution. If this solution didn't work, then use the second solution. And this second solution was also the method to pass this trial.

Since the person holding the dagger hadn't appeared, then force him to appear, or even force 【Him】 to appear!

One must know, a person who dared to gather the masses before the Annihilators attacked the city must have his purpose. He couldn't just be showing off the divine gift in his hand the moment before the country was destroyed and the family was ruined. And combined with the current situation, that person holding the dagger was very likely the leader who wanted to lead the Rosna people to resist the invasion of the Annihilators.

Originally, Cheng Shi thought this person might be the First Prince, but now it seemed it definitely wasn't. This coward didn't have such courage, and most importantly, he died again.

So Cheng Shi prepared to occupy the magpie's nest, gathering the masses one step ahead of that person, and then secretly searching for that "leader" whose behavior was not quite right. If he really possessed the 【Gift of Scars】 and saw someone else using his means to utilize the divine gift's power to disturb the situation, he would definitely not have no reaction.

Of course, this wasn't just a simple roleplay. Behind this roleplay, Cheng Shi had deeper calculations. But whether these calculations could succeed depended on whether this so-called "leader" existed.

As for the biggest problem in this roleplay—how to gather all the citizens of the city...

For a liar who often disguised himself as others, this was simply too simple.

In a country that believed in Gods and was about to perish, what identity had more appeal than a messenger of a God?

As long as he roleplayed as a messenger of 【Decay】 well and made a gesture of salvation, then making all the citizens of the city crawl on the ground would be a piece of cake.

And what Cheng Shi had to do was roleplay as this messenger of 【Decay】 well!

He had even prepared props for this roleplay in advance, and that prop was a black robe stained with the deep aura of 【Decay】!

Cheng Shi didn't have such a robe, but just because he didn't have it didn't mean others didn't.

Remember the 【Decay】 hunter Yu Mu who was hung high in the resentment of Golis? Coincidentally, this Twilight Hunter happened to have a black robe, and it was a hooded robe.

When Cheng Shi recalled the moment the other party took off his hood under Hu Wei's call in the Commoner's Meeting not long ago, he set his sights on this trapped 【Decay】 believer. So when he left the Tribunal before, the request Cheng Shi made to Aflos was to take away this robe of Yu Mu.

And now he had the most suitable disguise to occupy the magpie's nest in his hand, just missing an actor.

As for who this actor was...

It definitely couldn't be Cheng Shi himself.

This move of luring the snake out of the hole was too dangerous. In the face of the unknown, there was no need to turn himself into a target.

And he really took Aflos's advice to heart. In the case of not knowing enough about that 【*Him】, Cheng Shi didn't want to risk getting involved in everything related to 【*Him】 too early. So this time he didn't plan to be the messenger of 【Decay】. There were more suitable candidates on the scene.

For example... Qu Yan, who was also a hunter.

When a chameleon put on the clothes of a Twilight Hunter, who could say this chameleon couldn't become a Twilight Hunter?

So Cheng Shi put this black robe on Qu Yan and gave him something else.

"Your mission is to roleplay as a messenger of 【Decay】 and gather all the citizens of the city to come to the Rosna Recruitment Square to worship you.

As for why you do this, you don't need to ask. Just know that it relates to finding that 【Gift of Scars】.

This is a game of faith. Before the game ends, I don't know what the result will be. So whether you can find that dagger depends on how well you disguise yourself.

Of course, don't have too much pressure. I will give you help. Take this; this is the Final Tomb Stone of the land of 【Decay】. Its aura can make you closer to the real 【Decay】, but be careful not to be corroded by it.

Also, you only need to go to the Recruitment Square as I said and stand still. As for the rest, I will let Da Yi handle it.

When the masses come to worship, you still don't need to speak. I will speak for you behind you.

If it goes smoothly, we will see the appearance of that dagger. But if They bypass 【Memory】 and intervene too deeply, then this mission will probably fail.

But don't worry, I won't treat those who can get things done unfairly. Even if the 【Gift of Scars】 is taken away under the intervention of Their will, at least the points that should be added and the trial that should be won won't let you lose for nothing.

Alright, that's all for now. Go your separate ways."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi handed another page to Da Yi. Da Yi's face changed drastically as soon as he took it.

"Grandma... Lord, this is... Dyeing Plague?"

Cheng Shi smiled slightly: "Not bad. If you want the citizens who believe in 【Decay】 to know that His messenger has arrived, you must let them personally perceive the power of 【Decay】. Take it and go around the city. You shouldn't need me to teach you how to spread rumors, right?

Remember one thing: don't poison all my extras. Be quick. When the gathering is complete, remember to throw it out of the city.

We need some time, and just right, let this plague block the Annihilators outside for us."

Da Yi nodded solemnly, but asked suspiciously:

"Lord, why not just kill those Annihilators?"

"?"

Letting you get close to 【War】 isn't letting you rebel to 【War】. How come you are acting more and more like it, friend?

Cheng Shi's eyes twitched, pretending to be mysterious and dealing with it: "It's not that simple. Go."

Da Yi's expression stalled. Not knowing what he thought of, he nodded and left one after another with the hunter.

Cheng Shi saw the two leave, took the early knocked-out Old Jialun and left the Imperial Court, arriving at the Imperial Court wall that could overlook the square.

Old Jialun was frozen awake. As soon as he opened his eyes, he muttered: "L... Lord, I... Ailian, she..."

Cheng Shi sneered and shook his head: "Forget her first. You should pray that I have some gains in this gathering, otherwise she has probably already broken her oath and turned to 【Death】."

Old Jialun trembled all over and closed his mouth. He silently followed Cheng Shi's gaze and looked down, only to see countless figures gathering toward the Rosna Recruitment Square in the wind and snow. Black dots gradually covered the snowy ground, turning the snow-white square into a noisy gathering place.

"Praise 【Decay】! Praise 【Decay】!"

"We are saved, we are saved!"

"I said my Lord wouldn't abandon us. It's our piety that won His gaze!"

"This is His messenger, this is supreme glory. Where is His Majesty? Why didn't His Majesty come out to welcome my Lord's messenger!?"

Old Jialun was shocked. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, looked at the figure in the middle of the square, and muttered helplessly:

"Is that... is that my Lord's messenger?

Lord, is that really the messenger of 【Decay】?"

He couldn't understand why today's Kanna would be so exciting. Just now he encountered three mysterious people who didn't look like mortals and saved him in the wind and snow, and now he welcomed the messenger of this country's patron.

But the royal family of this country was so blasphemous to faith. Then the arrival of this messenger... is it salvation, or divine punishment? ===== CHAPTER 523 =====
