Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 199

Translator: Yang_Wenli

The law enforcers were astonishingly efficient in making their search. In only a dozen or so minutes, they’ve already found the entrance to the basement.

Soon, the dark basement was illuminated by over ten illumination spells. The teleportation formation the Holy Church established without permission was found by the law enforcers.

“These are the runes used to set up a teleportation formation. The core beneath the ground is still operational. Men! Eliminate these runes! Bring the core back to the council!”

The captain of the law enforcers commanded the others. As for the templars that followed them down to the basement, they were completely speechless with the proof before their faces.

They could only watch as Norland’s law enforcers started to demolish the basement with no concern for what might be there.

At this moment, Thousand Faces stealthily took out the ‘magic camera’ Joshua gave her.

She pressed the shutter on the upper left corner nonstop and took pictures of the entire basement.

This included the templars standing beside the teleportation formation and the law enforcers ‘violently demolishing’ the teleportation formation. Everything has been recorded by the dark elf as ‘photographs.’

‘Try to take the pictures of the whole teleportation formation. Don’t forget to include the Ecclesiastical Templars in the pictures too.’

As the dark elf pressed the camera’s shutters nonstop, a message popped up before her eyes. It was a message from Joshua.

This time around, the dark elf was not going to crash into a window from the sudden pop-up message from the magic network. She had already gotten used to the magic network. Her typing speed had also increased tremendously.

‘Why aren’t you planning to sell these photos... to the Holy Church? In order to lessen the negative influences from this incident, they will pay a huge price for them.’

The dark elf sent her reply.

As the leader of Norland’s largest information dealer network, she knew very well how to gain the greatest amount of benefits from those information. Take the scandals from nobles for example, they were akin to molten gold to the information dealers.

Should one possess enough courage, an information dealer could use those scandals to threaten the nobles. But, as the information dealers would generally not have proof of their scandals, they would generally be killed by the nobles.

But now, the dark elf had the ‘magic camera.’ With this, things were completely different!

Iron-clad proof was in her hands in the form of photos. The molten gold has instantly transformed into cool gold bars.

She believed that if those photos were to spread in Norland or posted onto the Mage Forum, the Holy Church’s prestige in Norland would fall to their lowest point.

To construct a teleportation formation in the territory of another country without their approval was a hostile act akin to invasion.

‘You’re too young, too naive. Don’t always think about earning money. A competent reporter not only needs to run fast, they would, at times, also need to get hold of a major piece of news.’

Joshua’s reply appeared in the dark elf’s line of sight. She was currently lingering behind the team of law enforcers. She planned to take a picture with both the law enforcers and the templars.

When she saw the message Joshua sent her, she truly felt the urge to tell him her true age. But, in the end, she didn’t bother doing something as meaningless as that.

The dark elf stopped wasting time with the conversation. The law enforcers had erased the majority of the teleportation formation’s runes. One of the law enforcers activated a magic that started to control the bricks on the ground.

The entire basement started trembling. The floor was immediately lifted from the ground. The core of the teleportation formation, the source of its magic, appeared.

“Bring back this core originium crystal to the council!” The captain of the law enforcers gave the order.

Thousand Faces took a picture of the core with the magic camera. With this, no more valuable information remained in the chapel’s basement.

But soon, her sharp reporter’s senses started acting. She... felt the aura of an inquisitor.

A sole inquisitor remained in the chapel!

Without the law enforcers or the templars noticing, the dark elf ran out the basement and started to walk further into the chapel.

“Lord Shackles, you... didn’t leave?”

When the dark elf pushed open the door to a room, someone from the room voiced a question.

Before the dark elf could even open the door completely, she heard the sound of a sword unsheathing.

She didn’t give that inquisitor the opportunity to strike and kicked in the door abruptly. The inquisitor wanted to thrust his sword toward the doorway. But, what welcomed him were four impactful arrows.

The fours arrows pierced through his hands and legs and fixed him onto the wall. He tried to struggle free but a sharp dagger arrived on his neck.

“It’s you... damned traitor!” He recognized Thousand Faces.

“I also remember you... you’re the one who’s most afraid of death. Seeing that you’ve worked under me before, answer a couple of my questions and I’ll spare you.”

The dark elf’s ice-cold voice sounded by his ears. The dagger on his neck had cut through his flesh. If it moved a couple centimeters further, it will sever his vocal cords.

“Traitor, you can give up on that thought! Your torture is useless toward me!” He shouted. He seemed to want to make the people around notice him with his shout.

Unfortunately, the templars of the church were all together with Norland’s Law Enforcers. The nuns were also hidden away for their own protection. As such, there was not a single sould in the vicinity at all.

“Torture? This is no torture...”

The dark elf suddenly recalled that her identity was no longer Norland’s number one information dealer since a couple days ago. Joshua had given her a legitimate occupation... an occupation called ‘reporter.’

Because of that, her style of conduct had changed. As her profession had changed, what she does would naturally have to change its name too.

“This is... an interview! Right, an interview...”

The dark elf repeated the phrase Joshua mentioned to her when he was describing to her what her new occupation entails. Then, she turned her vision back to that pitiful inquisitor.

“Please answer the following questions. Go ahead and tell me how you’re feeling right now.”

Even though the dark elf’s words sounded very polite, her dagger started to inch further and further into the inquisitor’s neck.

This inquisitor received the great honor of being the first person in the world to be interviewed by a reporter. Regretfully, his treatment was extremely bad.

The inquisitor opened his mouth. He seemed to be hesitant. But soon, his expressions started distorting. His limbs suddenly started to soften. It was like gel that has been melted by flame.

The dark elf immediately took a step back. He... or perhaps it, was still alive. It emitted a strange roar at the dark elf. Once the roar stopped, the sound of a camera’s shutter echoed nonstop. The next moment, an arrow pierced through its head.

“Truly... lamentable.”

The dark elf glanced at the distorted inquisitor on the floor. She felt a slight shiver in her heart. After she took a photo of the corpse, she left the chapel.
