Chapter 82 The Copycat

While Duanmuhuai and others were fighting on the front line, General Pastor was not idle.

As he said before, the Chapter is responsible for the assault and defeat of the enemy's center, while the rest is handed over to the army to recover. Without the leader, relying solely on those stragglers hiding in the ruins, they are naturally no match for the army. At present, most of Mordheim has been recovered, and the complete recovery of the city is just around the corner.

But General Pastor's complexion was not very good, because of the letter in his hand.

This is the reply sent by General Pastor when he arrived with the reinforcements after reporting to the First Prince. In the letter, the eldest prince first of all praised General Pastor greatly, asking him to make persistent efforts to completely recover the entire Mordheim. Then he said that in order to avoid further disasters, he asked General Pastor to confiscate all the dimensional stones in Mordheim and transport them to Altdorf for storage.

In the past, General Pastor didn't think there was anything wrong with this order, but now...he always felt something was wrong.

The Dimensional Stone is of great importance, and Mordheim is far away from Altdorf. According to insurance, this should be sealed up on the spot.

Why ship back to Altdorf?

Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor also stated in the letter that this matter was of great importance, and there was even a feeling that he would rather give up Mordheim than transport the Dimensional Stone back to Altdorf. The hidden meaning in it really made General Pastor feel somewhat uneasy.

As for the dimensional stone itself, General Pastor has seen it before. It is indeed a stone with mysterious power, but he does not have a good impression of this stone. After all, since coming to Mordheim, Pastor The general saw that these dimension stones were basically used in those evil rituals.

For example, the defilement ceremony of Chaos believers in the temple, such as the portal that the believers of the God of Desire tried to open, and now the tyrannical believers... Huh?

Thinking of this, General Pastor suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shuddered.

Could it be that, as I thought, His Majesty the Emperor has surrendered to the God of Deceit? Isn't he planning to use these dimension stones to hold some sacrilegious ceremony in Altdorf? !

In the past, General Pastor would not have dared to have such rebellious thoughts, but now, his thoughts have changed.

In particular, in the previous report, General Pastor pointed out to His Majesty the Emperor that the Archbishop of the Sigma Church is a follower of the God of Deceit, and hoped that the Emperor would take great precautions. But in this reply, the emperor didn't mention a single word about this evil god believer.

Not only that, but as the general who stayed behind, General Pastor also knew something about the internal affairs of the empire, and knew that the emperor's position was actually not secure. Although he is indeed the First Prince, and logically speaking, it is indeed his turn to inherit the throne, but this First Prince was too impatient, which caused many people to be dissatisfied with him. Like the previous War of the Three Emperors, it looked fierce on the surface, but in fact it was the three princes and their supporters who were fighting each other, and almost all the other lords remained neutral.

Not to mention, in Altdorf, there are not a few people like General Pastor who suspect that the eldest prince is involved in killing the emperor.

After all, the courtiers of the empire are all loyal to the emperor. Your emperor died suddenly, or was he assassinated during the Great Expedition?

It's unbelievable to think about this kind of thing.

Moreover, the first prince's speed was too fast, almost as soon as the news arrived, he immediately stated that "a country cannot live without a king" and ascended the throne, giving the impression that the first prince had been waiting for the news.

Therefore, in the city of Altdorf, although many high-ranking officials seem to support the First Prince, they either obediently obey his orders or find excuses to delay. It can be said that the eldest prince, the emperor, is not at all secure.

So will he have any unsuitable thoughts because of this?

General Pastor knew this very well, because he was one of them. In fact, if the emperor had no one available, he would not have been sent here from Altdorf.

Therefore, after learning that Duanmu Huai and others had successfully eliminated the believers of the God of Desire, he immediately sent someone to invite Duanmu Huai and others to discuss countermeasures.

"He wants the dimension stone?"

"Yes."

Faced with Duanmuhuai's question, General Pastor nodded bitterly. Now he finally understands that he may actually be a part of the situation. Now in this city, the God of Desire, the God of Tyranny, the God of Plague and the Rat Man are all vying for the Dimensional Stone, and they represent one side.

But the question is, do they represent the empire, or the god of deceit?

"this……………"

Hearing this, the fighting nuns and witch hunters also frowned. They were in favor of sealing up the dimension stone in the monastery, but why did the emperor want the dimension stone?

"Do you have a report on the quantity? We have seized a lot of dimensional stones."

Duanmuhuai went to the slums before and asked Augis to cut open the large dimensional rock in the center of the crater and bring it back. The dimensional rock was three to four meters high and was very huge. Not only that, but in the process of eliminating the Ratman and Chaos Believers, they also seized a lot of Dimension Stones, plus the fragments of Dimension Stones that the army has found in the city so far, it is not a small number.

"Of course, His Majesty said that they will all be transported to Altdorf and be taken care of by the Academy."

"........."

Hearing this, the battle nuns and witch hunters looked even more gloomy. Everyone has heard of the magic academy in Altdorf, and many wizards in the empire are studying in the magic academy. But this does not mean that they are not dangerous. In fact, as priests, they have no good temper towards wizards.

Especially the witch hunter --- from the name of his position, it can be seen that eight out of ten of his targets are wizards, let this group of lunatics guard the dimension stone?

What's the difference between this and self-stealing?

"That's easy."

However, Duanmuhuai didn't care.

"If they want it, give it to them—just not for real."

"If you don't give it to the real one, then should you give it to the fake one?"

Hearing this, the battle nun asked suspiciously, this time the primordial stone is not an ore, but a stone with magical power, its appearance is green, and it can also emit light, how to fake it?

"It's very simple, just grind some small dimensional stones into powder, apply them on the stones, and send them over."

Duanmuhuai's thoughts were also very simple, he also had deep doubts about the emperor's actions, to be honest, if Duanmuhuai could not enter Altdorf now, he would directly hold the hammer to judge the eldest prince.

Another way is to get all the stolen goods, take the Dimension Stone to Wangcheng, and spy on it secretly. Once that guy intends to use the Dimension Stone to do something, he will jump out directly.

But... Who stipulated that the real dimension stone must be used?

We can get a fake one.

Just like those gold necklaces, they all look the same on the outside, but who knows if it's solid gold or plated?

"This is a good way."

Hearing this, the witch hunter who had been silent all this time nodded his head immediately. As a witch hunter, he is best at dealing with wizards, and he is naturally very familiar with magic.

"As long as we find some broken stones, grind some dimensional stone fragments into powder, and smear them on it, we can indeed fool most wizards."

"No problem, we can help."

At this time, the fighting nuns also nodded. There are indeed many pebble-sized dimensional stone fragments in the dimension stones they are responsible for sealing. To be honest, the fighting nuns also have a headache for these fragments. You say throw it away, there are hidden dangers. But if it is said to be sealed up, it is a bit wasteful. It is better to grind it into powder like this, and then apply it to the stone for camouflage, which is somewhat useful.

By the way, from the beginning to the end, these people felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with their behavior of deceiving the emperor --- it can be seen that the eldest prince, the emperor, really has no sense of existence.

Soon, everyone also made a decision that this matter will be completed by the combat nuns of the monastery. After all, if soldiers are asked to do it, it is inevitable that the secret may be leaked. But the Battle Sisters are different. They are capable enough, and their stand is firm enough, so they don't worry about leaking secrets. Moreover, after the Dimensional Stones were confiscated, they were handed over to the monastery for sealing, which is also a matter of course.

But the only problem is that once the incident is revealed, the Rock Monastery will immediately become the target of public criticism.

But... the discovery of Dong Chuang's incident also showed that the eldest prince really wanted to do something with the Dimensional Stone.

At that time, Duanmuhuai can ask him to sing a song of praise of loyalty.

With that problem solved, there was only one annoyance left for General Pastor.

That is...the believer of the tyrannical god.

According to the prophet's description, the believers of the tyrannical god have used the remains of the paladin to set up a barrier in the barracks. Once fighting inside, no matter who dies, it will increase the strength of the opponent, and finally open the passage to the Demon Realm.

But it's impossible for them to avoid the battle, because the barrier will gradually expand. Could it be that they have to leave Mordheim completely?

"This is not a problem."

Compared to General Pastor's worries, Duanmuhuai seemed very calm.

"I will solve it myself, when the time comes, we will go together and take down those chaotic believers!"

Before the change, Duanmuhuai might have been a bit tricky. But it's different now, he has gravity gloves! Wouldn't it be the same if you didn't use it to fight, just demolish the house?

After all, in the game, one of the ways for players to use gravity gloves is to dismantle buildings, and now, it is finally Duanmu Huai's turn to enjoy this addiction!
