A Necromancer Who Just Wants to Plant Trees

Chapter 1691: 560 The God of Murder’s Holy Artifact!_3

The information about that person is on your left-hand side—

Yes, that one.

The file labeled “Lotus Sword Saint”…

Angela continued to explain:

“The ‘Lotus Sword Saint’ is a somewhat famous character in the north; people have forgotten his real name and often refer to him by this nickname.”

“But actually, this nickname was initially full of taunting undertones.”

“The reason is, this gentleman likes to wear swords, claims to be a master of swordsmanship, but has never shown his swordsmanship skills in front of others.”

“Whenever someone challenges him on this topic, he always manages to defuse the situation with a few words, and afterwards, those challengers end up speaking well of the Lotus Sword Saint.”

“You must understand by now?”

“The ‘Lotus’ in Lotus Sword Saint refers to his eloquent speaking skills that bloom like a lotus.”

“Ever since he debuted, he always speaks of swords, never tasting defeat, all thanks to that eloquent mouth of his.”

“I believe that the Butterfly City Lord’s ascent to power owes much to the Lotus Sword Saint beside her.”

“And in the past half year, Lotus Sword Saint has helped the Butterfly City Lord visit many cities in the north, ultimately leading to the formation of the Seven Cities Federation, headed by Order City.”

“This is a highly potential political and economic alliance in the north.”

“Currently, many more cities wish to join it.”

“The reputation of the Butterfly City Lord has thus reached a peak, but I think the Lotus Sword Saint is the one who needs more attention…”

Matthew flipped through the intelligence reports, nodding from time to time.

“Interesting.”

“Your intelligence work is very thorough.”

Matthew couldn’t help but praise her.

Angela smiled shyly:

“I can’t just take the Alliance’s stipend for nothing…”

With Angela’s help.

Matthew quickly skimmed through the basic information about Order City.

“These are the recent hot issues.”

Angela pushed another scroll towards him:

“Mainly three things—”

First, a group claiming to be from the Dragon Lich Sect has occupied the abandoned underground palace in the north.

Second, several areas in the city have been experiencing varying levels of a super leprosy virus infection.

Third, in the past half month, some supernatural beings have started committing crimes in the city, creating cases of an extremely severe and vile nature; many innocents have already died.

Currently, the Elemental Enforcers of Order City are vigorously chasing these suddenly crazed professionals.

But for some reason,

The usually efficient Elemental Enforcers are making unusually slow progress on this case.

About this issue,

I’ve done some private investigation—

I’ve noticed that these heinous criminals invariably chose public places to commit their crimes, and during the acts, they shout slogans akin to being offspring of the God of Murder.

I suspect an evil organization wants to conduct a certain Ritual in Order City, likely related to the long-fallen God of Murder.

Well.

It could also be just a decoy?

In any case, this issue has caused considerable upheaval, and it seems it won’t settle down anytime soon…”

Hearing this,

Matthew suddenly stopped flipping through the intelligence reports.

He asked Angela:

“You must have your own intelligence channels in the city, right?”

Angela nodded.

Matthew immediately said,

“Send a message out for me.”

“Say that the Holy Artifact of the God of Murder has appeared in Canning of Order City.”

Upon hearing this, Angela asked in surprise,

“Are you… planning to spread false information?”

“But such actions could be discerned by divination spells, right?”

Matthew smiled:

“Who told you this is false information?”

The next second,

a blood-red short knife suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was, undoubtedly, the genuine Holy Artifact of the God of Murder—the ‘Blade of the Ignorant’—

found in a bracelet left by little Ingram!

Clearly,

the group claiming to be offspring of the God of Murder were likely the origin of the Chaos Storm Matthew had foreseen.

Since that was the case,

instead of letting it brew slowly,

it was better to trigger it directly!
