The Light Chasers

Sending Vivian off to the study to copy the pamphlet, Charlotte rummaged through the cupboards for the black stone and went upstairs to lock herself in her room.

Running her finger across the black screen, the screen lit up and a string of unread messages popped up.

Charlotte read a few private chats first.

[Brother Miracle, did the Inquisitor leave you any relics?]

[Don't think too much, I'm not trying to take his relics to cover his debt, it's just that he owes too much ...]

[Forget it, forget I said it.]

This was the message that the merchant sent to him, and there was a tangle between the lines.

Three thousand gold coins is indeed not a small amount, this death of the Inquisitor, this money has become a bad debt, so one can't help but feel some heartache for this merchant.

[No, except for a stone, he left nothing behind, including ashes].

Charlotte sent him a message back.

A fool inherits a debt.

Merchant: [...]

Charlotte taps on the next private chat, from the Hidden One, with only a short message:

[The Night's Watch will be traveling to the Abyss to find you in the near future.]

The Nightwatchman was one of the initiators of the Red Moon Organization, projected from the Red Moon Organization's existence time, the age was more than a thousand years old, with such a long lifespan, it was most likely a gargoyle.

Charlotte: [May I ask if there's anything I should be aware of when coming into contact with the Night's Watch?]

Hermit: [There's no need to be overly nervous, just be sincere]]

Charlotte's mind quickly came alive, with the strength of the Night's Watch, if he were to ask for his help in solving his immediate trouble, perhaps it could be solved?

However, their level was too high, whether they would agree to solve such a small problem in front of him was still somewhat unknown.

Then Charlotte scanned the Red Moon group chat, over the past day, the group chat messages didn't increase a lot, after the Inquisitor's death incident turned over, the group members weren't very active on a daily basis.

The content of the chat is more formal and high-end, such as 'the northwest of the Pabo plateau beasts lair strange movement, need to manpower to go to investigate,' the southern town of Norto city suffered a beast siege, need to rescue urgently, 'the latest weapon developed by the technician cracked the iron egg call for volunteers＇...

Charlotte, as a small newcomer, was obviously unable to participate in such topics and events.

This point is in line with Charlotte's expectations, after all, the reality may be a party big brother, if all day long in the group bragging, he will profoundly doubt the authenticity of their identity.

After staring at the screen and thinking for a while, Charlotte edited a message and sent it to the group.

Miracle: [Friends, is there any way to bring down Duke Cromwell?

Witch: [Yo, newbie this just joined Red Moon and you want to make something big?

Technician: [The King of the Lance Empire wants to know too.]]

Light Chaser: [@Miracle, do you have a deep grudge against Duke Cromwell?]

Miracle: [I simply can't stand to see him acting like a bully.]]

Technician: [In the black market, the bounty on Cromwell's head is as high as 10,000 gold coins, you can try.]]

Witch: [Try and pass away, there are eight if not ten top assassins who have hung up for the bounty over the years.]]

Charlotte was shocked, 10,000 gold coins can be 100 million copper coins, this is a real heavy bounty, I did not expect this world to see Cromwell is not only a person he is not happy.

[You want to deal with Cromwell?

Charlotte received a private chat from Light Chaser, he was a little surprised that this person would take the initiative to chat privately with him.

From the previous chat, she had revealed very little information, only knowing that her should be a female, as for the race and identity was completely unknown.

However, since the other party took the initiative to chat privately instead of flirting like a technician and a witch in a group, she might be able to provide him with some help.

Charlotte: [Yes, I have a friend who is being hunted down by his order, and the situation is rather bad at the moment, so I would like to ask the other members of the organization if there is a way to get to the root of the problem].

Light Chaser: [This friend you speak of, it wouldn't be yourself, would it?]

Charlotte: ...

This woman is very perceptive.

Light Chaser: [There are countless people in this world who want to bring down Cromwell, whether they are persecuted by him or are after the bounty, but

He's lived in the dukedom for thirty years and is still standing. What do you think you can do to bring him down?"]

Charlotte: [Would you believe me when I say I picked up a copy of Cromwell's criminal record?]

Light Chaser: [I do believe you when you say you picked up a cute loli]]

Charlotte: !!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr? What the hell is this woman's deal? Could this black stone be bugged?

Charlotte stares at the black stone in her hand with a frown on her face.

Light Chaser: [Don't be nervous, counting from the time, Vivian. Bernice should have arrived at the abyss by this time, and you're near the abyss, you're a doctor, suddenly bursting with a sense of justice and wanting to deal with Cromwell, which means that people and things are in your hands right now, it's not hard to deduce].

Charlotte:

I can't say it's all right, it's simply not true at all.

What isn't hard to deduce?

Just by virtue of his few words, directly naming Vivian as being with him, this woman's intelligence is simply terrifying!

Light Chaser: [A criminal record that can make Cromwell so nervous and uneasy, I'm sure it's a bit of something, can you describe it briefly?

Charlotte licked his dry lips, he didn't know the identity of the other party so far, but he had a feeling that he was completely seen through.

He even felt that the other party might have already known his true identity, after all, the Inquisitor suddenly found a doctor to be the successor, and the name was the subject of restarting the Red Moon's influence on the magical beasts, this information was very sufficient.

Letting herself quickly calm down, Charlotte revisited the chat records of the two.

From the information so far, the other party should know very well about the case of Vivian's father's murder, indicating that she probably came from the Imperial Capital of the Lance Empire, and her status was not low.

And from her behavior of initiating a private chat, she should have some interest in the matter of bringing down Cromwell, or at least the possibility of not being an enemy was higher.

Charlotte's most urgent thing at the moment was to confirm the value of this manual in Vivian's hand and whether it could bring down Cromwell.

If it couldn't, then they would have to find another way out.

Charlotte: [The booklet I picked up contains detailed records of how Cromwell, at the borders, cheated large amounts of military expenses by creating conflicts with the orc tribes, mass slaughtering border villages, intensifying the intensity of the conflicts, and exaggerating the threat of the orc tribes.

In addition to this, he also withheld food money for disaster relief in the midst of several catastrophes, resulting in a large number of civilians being starved to death.

As well as evidence that he colluded with officials from the Ministry of Finance and embezzled huge amounts of treasury funds].

Light Chaser: [For each of the crimes you mentioned, Cromwell has been impeached, but each time it ended without consequence due to lack of evidence. If the evidence in the pamphlet isn't detailed enough, or doesn't have the power to be able to hammer it to death with a single blow, it will be meaningless].

The magnitude of this Cromwell's power had exceeded Charlotte's expectations.

But the arrogance of the guy who could even screw the Minister of Finance was evident.

Charlotte thought for a while and replied, [I can't tell if the evidence is detailed enough, why don't I send you one or two details of the case and ask you to help check it out].

He knew very well that he was nothing, the pamphlet was useless in his hands, and there was nowhere to ask for proof.

But if the Light Chaser's identity was as he had guessed, perhaps she could truly reach the level of the King of the Lance Empire and directly threaten Cromwell.

Light Chaser: [Good.

The Light Chaser's quick response increased Charlotte's goodwill towards the Red Moon Organization.

The resentment of being snubbed into the group by the Inquisitor also dissipated, and there were even a few more points of gratitude.

The feeling of being taken flying was just too good.

Light Chaser: [But, you're not in love with her, are you? She's only fifteen years old.]

What love or not? Am I a beast? Charlotte glared, this was an insult to his character: [I just adopted a homeless young lady, please don't make any associations].

The Light Chaser's side didn't continue to reply.

Charlotte went downstairs and took the booklet, copied two cases and sent it to the light chaser.

Cell phone ... Ah shucks, Blackstone's presence made communication efficient and safe.

If he had to take the booklet, run across tens of thousands of kilometers to the Imperial Capital, and hand it over to the Light Chaser in person, dodging Cromwell's lapdogs in the process, he probably wouldn't have as much of a sense of justice.

Light Chaser: [Copy that, I need a few days to check it out, I'll be in touch].

Seeing that the Light Chaser was about to end the chat, Charlotte hurriedly pursued, [The big one is not easy to get, so can the little one be done? Karpas is in Karwar, is there any way to get rid of him? Or let him be forced to return to the Lance Empire?

Light Chaser: [Although the Red Moon organization is loose, it has always taken "equal exchange" as a basic principle. I'm quite interested in the Cromwell incident, so there's no need for you to pay the price, but for the other issues, you'll have to come up with something that makes me feel interested.]]

"So that's how it is ..." Charlotte pondered, then replied, [Then I'll give you a chance to ask me questions as well.]]

There was a sudden silence over there.

After waiting for a while, Charlotte didn't receive a reply and had to call it quits.

He admitted that he had gambled, but it was obvious that the other party was not the least bit interested in his shallow insight.

Although the immediate dilemma was not resolved, it was not without gain, at least he was able to confirm the value of the pamphlet through the Light Chasers, and whether or not he was able to bring down Cromwell.

As for the threat from Karpath, for now he could only figure out how to solve it on his own.

First of all, he needed to gather more information related to Carroll, as the abyssal spokesman of Karpath, he was Charlotte's biggest threat at the moment!
