A Little get Together

"That's all?" Su MO's tone remain flat.

These villains reason for calling him here are suspicious. Otherwise, if none of them can deal with the protagonist what's the use of finding him, a small Count. After all, these people don't know his demon identity.

Jerol nodded and said "It's not easy to kill people in the capital. Even if we are nobles, in fact, the restriction on nobles in the capital are even greater"

"How many are there?" Su Mo asked.

He doesn't want to listen to his noises anymore. As for why they couldn't solve these protagonist, he didn't need to ask. How can it be so easy to make trouble in the capital. Plus, the protagonist early warning distance is even larger so as long as they are warned there are many ways to save themselves.

It's like Lu Bi, the protagonist with the krypton gold system.p who hid in the magic academy. These protagonist all have gold fingers and as long as they show a little talent then enter the magic academy or some other power, they won't be easy to kill.

"In the beginning, there were only a few of them but more has been coming these days. There are already more then a dozen protagonist in the capital. If things go on like this then their numbers will keep increasing, that's what we're worried about" Jerol said.

Su Mo understands their worries, the protagonist will be much safer and can develop more faster in the capital. There are better places to hide out there but not many protagonist gold finger is suitable for hiding all the time, some are required to move and hiding will limit their development.

In the capital, as long as these protagonist are careful and doesn't give the villain a chance to do scheme against them, they can develop faster. After all, what better place is there then the capital where it's filled with powerful people.

Like the protagonist with the pick up system, if he was here then his development would sky rocket. Several days has past and many protagonist has adapted quite well, there were many people sharing their experiences on the protagonist forum therefore, the number of them coming to the capital with continue to increase.

"We originally though of intercepting them outside the capital, but the capital is big, plus, their warning distance and there larger in numbers then us. They can bypass us if their a little careful so we can't find them. Our subordinate are good but they can't tell the protagonist apart from normal people" Jerol said.

Dealing with the protagonist in the capital is difficult for them. As for why they don't look for protagonist outside, the new moon kingdom is too big so the chances of encountering one is low.

Except for the first protagonist who delivered himself to his doors, Su Mo discovered the other protagonist by his powerful intelligent network organization he built.

The intelligence got from the dark web were a lot but they aren't Omniscient so even if the protagonist were discovered by his forces, it was easy for them to get away wether by their gold fingers or thier identity. In addition, there are many more hidden protagonist that have not surfaces and showed themselves, after all, the new moon kingdom is a big territory with over hundreds of millions of people.

Although the villains in the capital have higher status than him their intelligence network is not comparable to him. On the contrary, if you stay in the capital, you might find an opportunity to kill one or two protagonist.

"Where are they?" Su Mo asked again.

Jerol looked at the tree dukes heirs and they nodded, Jerol looked back and said "There should be three to five in the Holy See, two of them joined the preparatory group of the temple knights. These are harder to deal with since their from the Holy See, killing them is a big risk and plus there very careful"

These protagonist were clever. Not only have they decided to settle in the capital but also join the Holy See. The Holy See a top level force in every kingdom and not even the king can offend them casually.

Even if they send someone to kill the protagonist, once they're found out, the consequences would be very serious.

"Also, there are also several protagonist in the holy moon magic academy. One of them has become a direct disciple of a saint not long ago. If they don't leave the capital it'll be impossible to kill them" Jerol continued.

"There are also two protagonist in the palace guards. Although their status are not high, it is not easy to enter the palace not to mention being the queens guard. We have no way to move without offending the queen"

"There's also another one that dominated the official exam not long ago" Jerol continued.

Soon, they roughly explain the situation of the protagonist in the capital. These protagonist are pretty hard to kill, of course, hard but not impossible. They are preparing to hire powerful assassins to kill them. The problem is that this matter would be blown out of proportion if the matter was found out since it's in the capital.

Time was also a matter of importance. Once the Saint sense's magic energy from the battle, they will definitely involve themselves in the matter and the possibility of escaping is impossible.

"Also, the most difficult protagonist to kill is in the Holy See. I suspect that there is a gold level protagonist amongst them" Jerol said agin.

Gold level protagonist!

The level of the protagonist doesn't represent their strength but their gold finger level and thier luck. If that's so, then there is an opportunity to obtain a gold level gold finger because wether it's limit or growth rate, it exceeds the silver and bronze.

"Of course, this is just a speculation and we haven't confirm it yet" Jerol added.

"So I want to invite the count to join our alliance, once they become stronger we will all suffer" After Jerol's explanation, he revealed his purpose.

"As for the benefits after killing the protagonist, whoever contributes the most will get the better benefit" he quickly added.

"Alliance?" Su Mo asked.

Jerol gave an "Um" and said "the villain alliance are established by several Duke heirs and now a lot of villains have joined. If we can clean up the protagonists in the new moon kingdom, in the future, we will expand our horizon and exterminate the protagonists in the entire world" Jerol said excitedly and looked at Su Mo expectantly.

"Non interested" However, Su Mo said two words. To be honest, he was a little amused by their delusional thoughts. I mean, exterminate Al the protagonist from the world? Did they forget how difficult it is to kill a protagonist after they have forces behind them? Not to mention you'll have to offend all the Holy See's that house a protagonist, and let's not even talk about the gods who will be force to take action if needed.

Hearing Su MO's answer, the expression of the other villains in the room changed. One of them stood up and was about to speak but was stopped by a Duke heir.

Jerol didn't expect Su Mo would refuse. He looked at the Duke heir who nodded to him.

"The count doesn't have to make a decision so quickly. Let's do this, we can add you to the villain group first and we can share any news about the protagonist in the future"

"Alright" this time, Su Mo agreed. After he joined, he got up and left.

…

"A count, at most Bronze level villain is so arrogant, I'm so mad!"

After Su Mo left, the villain who wanted to speak couldn't bear it and shouted.

"There is something wrong with the count. He was too calm since the beginning until the end. Even when he heard the protagonist might have a gold level gold finger, there was no change in his reaction which is not how a normal bronze villain would react" a Duke heir said.

"I agree, plus the things he supposedly invented. Cement, mirrors, soap, porcelain that were years ago makes me think that he might have crossed before us?" Another Duke heir said.

"It shouldn't be possible but it really doesn't make sense. Let first see what'll he do and make plans later" The last Duke hero said.

Afterwards, they began to discuss how to deal with the protagonist in the capital.

…

"There are three days left, and I'm also in the capital. I'll take see if I can find an opportunity to get rid of some protagonist"

"You must not do it before the blessing ceremony, do it afterwards"

"I suggest we set up more ambush around he capital. Aren't you gathering in the capital? Just find a way to kill them outside"

"Easier said then done, their warning distance I larger then ours"

In the chat group called the new moon villain, many villains were chatting. Among these villains, many were preparing to take advantage of the blessing ceremony to participate and meet up with the other villains. After, they will join forces to deal with these protagonist in the capital.

As they talked, Su MO's eyes swept over the messages in the group. The protagonist in the capital aren't difficult to deal with for Su Mo however, he had to wait until the blessing ceremony is over before he makes a move.

For him, the blessing ceremony is more important right now.

Su Mo took out a few documents from his space ring and scan them over quickly. These information are collected by the dark web about various big noble families in the new moon kingdom.

"Saint, no wonder…" Su Mo whispered. In the new moon kingdom none of these noble families are weak. Among several nobles that Su Mo just met, a Saint has appeared in their one of the Duke family.

The Saint should be the greatest support of a Duke family which no wonder that these villain are so bold. A Saint is very strong and is much more stronger than saints soul from a ring after all, one is a soul with little power left while the other has the complete strength of a Saint.

Still even if they have a saint, it is not easy to cause trouble.

Although they are suspicious of Su Mo they probably didn't take him too seriously. Never the less, Su Mo could easily see what these guys are scheming, obviously, it's against those protagonist.

…

"My lord, we are here" Arya's voice sounded as they arrived at the inn.

Su Mo got out of the carriage and looked at the inn while Arya quickly arrange for a maid to make a bath and wash him.

After, just as he was about to rest, he received a magic letter and saw that it was from Melina, she had reached the legend realm. In addition, she had applied to join the magic council and the possibility of entering is high, after all, she's talented and young.

After reading the letter, Su Mo fell asleep.

Early next morning, the people sent by the queen were already waiting outside the inn. Today is the day to visits the Holy See.

Su Mo got in the carriage and soon arrived at the center of the capital, under the floating pyramid.

"You're here" The queen was already waiting from him here and smiled. Since yesterday dinner, her mood became more happy which increased her charisma and made her extraordinary more beautiful.

"Let's go" The queen stretch out her hand.

The purpose of stretching out her hand was to ask Su Mo to help her. This is the handrail ceremony for ladies in this world when the board or got out the carriage. It's pretty simple, the lady will offer her hand while the man help her and support the lady.

It would be rude to not grab the others hand, however, the queen has never offer her hand to a noble or anyone before because she is a saint who can't touch the opposite sec. But today, she made an exception, there was also a faint blush on her face.

Her action looks majestic but in fact, her heart was uneasy and a little nervous because she's worried about Su Mo rejecting her.

But she soon, she breathed a sigh of relief as Su Mo reached out his hand and help her into the carriage. The queen's heart felt as sweet as honey. After, he got in his own separate carriage.

The carriages, surrounded by large number of knights, drove towards the church. This is the largest church in the kingdom and the building behind it is where the clergy of the Holy See work.

As for the pyramid in the sky, no ordinary people can enter it.

"So they're right" Su Mo though as several system warning appeared don his villain panel.

There are currently eight protagonist around the church. Of course, not all the Diaghilev protagonist have join the holy see but some may be hiding nearby. After all, even if they come face to face with a villain they'll still be safe unless the villain is courting death.

Soon the carriages approached the church. Not far away, a group of temple knights wearing enchanted armor passed by neatly.

Su Mo looked at them and met a gaze of one temple knights. Su Mo recognized instantly that this knight was a protagonist. On the contrary, the temple knight also recognizes Su Mo and his Prost against Panel already identity Su Mo.

The corners of the temple knight's mouth slightly curved and there were strong provocation in his eyes that seems to say.

"I'm right in front of you, see if you dare to kill me"

Interesting, Su Mo gaze and expression did not change from his provocation, not angry or annoyed. He just found it interesting that the protagonist was this arrogant.

The team of temple knights are just reserve knights, which means their strength is at first order the least and second order the most. This kind of strength is definitely not enough to provoke a count not to mention he is still a villain, yet this guy dared to.

Is he so sure Su Mo can't do anything about it?

Maybe, after all this is the heart of the hoody see. The pyramid is the core temple of the new moon goddess and she can see what's going on in the kingdom so who really dares to cause trouble.

"Stop" Su Mo said lightly as the carriage stoped.

The temple knight didn't panic seeing the carriage stopped but his provocation in his eyes became even stronger, he wasn't to see what Su Mo will do.

If it weren't for the presence of other people, he might even openly provoke Su Mo.

"What's the matter?" As soon as Su Mo stoped the carriage, the queen whose attention was on Su Mo's carriage notice this event, so the queen lifted the curtains and asked.

The temple knight eyes lit up seeing the queen. She's not only temperamental but also the number 1 beauty in the kingdom. Such a woman is too attractive for a transmigrator like him, especially these egoistic protagonist. They probably wrote the queen on a list of things to conquer.

But, he did not realize the seriousness of the problem he just cause.

"Queen, is there something wrong with this temple knight? I think he had just been provoking me?" Su Mo spoke softly.

Hearing his words, the queen's face suddenly turn cold

"Cathy, get the team of templars over here. Dolly, notify the inquisitor" the queen said coldly.

"Yes, your majesty" Cathy and Dolly bowed and took their orders.

Cathy arrived in front of the team of temple knights and took out a token.

"The Holy Maiden has ordered for your presence"

"Yes!" The Captain of the team saluted respectfully and then brought his team to the carriage.

"Why is he with the queen?" At this time, the protagonist was a little panicked after he sense something was wrong. After joining the temple knights of the holy see, it is too difficult for others to attack him as not even a king would not easily attack him.

But, here is the new moon kingdom and the current queen also has another identity, The Virgin of the new moon goddess, A Holy Maiden, and her authority in the Holy See is very high.

Although the currently queen is ready to hand over her position to the new Holy Maiden, she hasn't done it yet therefore, if she wanted to she still has the right to get involve in the matters of the Holy See.
