Chapter 478: Chapter 220 The First tal Witchcraft (Two-in-One ga Chapter)_3
Nehru was speaking to a man, his right side dominated by the massive sea serpent with spiky protrusions.
“Wexman, according to the information passed to from the Federal Navy, the young Great Knight with the talent of an iron Will is the Governor of ister Fishing Port Town in the Dragan Empire. His na is Rein,” said Nehru.
“The best person to deal with this young man is still you,” Nehru said gloomily.
“Nehru, don’t put on a pedestal. Besides, if he isn’t a mber of the Dragan Empire Navy, why are you bothering with this? It’s likely that you’ll never encounter him,” said the man nad Wexman, dismissing the idea.
His slender figure was toying with two Daggers, emitting a crimson light.
The Daggers, like butterflies fluttering through flowers, rapidly danced between his unusually agile slender fingers.
“No, you don’t understand. Guided by a Wizard’s intuition, I feel that if he lives, I will encounter him again soday soon,” Nehru explained, waving his hand and speaking gravely.
“Alright, I really don’t understand all this stuff about Witchery Curses Masters,” Wexman remarked.
“But… why not find soone else for this job?” Wexman pondered. Though he considered the combat abilities of Witchery Curses Masters diocre, he acknowledged their proficiency with prophecies and divinations as more than re fabrications.
“Wexman, it’s only foolproof if you take action. I don’t trust the other mbers of the squad,” Nehru said with a smile, flattering him a little.
“Heh, don’t start with that. You know my rate is high, although we are teammates, I can at most give you a 20% discount,” Wexman continued, nonchalantly flipping his Daggers.
Nehru didn’t mind his response, and smiled, seeing a tendency to agree, “Wexman, if you can kill Rein, I’ll give you the crate of shadow steel ingots I got last ti.”
“A crate of shadow steel ingots is not enough. He’s in the Dragan Empire mainland; I’d have to traverse his heavily guarded mariti area— the risk is not small.”
…
After so bargaining, Nehru’s expression remained poor, but his heart felt more at ease.
Though it was a bit painful, having Wexman agree to take the job nearly guaranteed success.
After all, assassinations are best left to professionals. Wexman, as a shadow assassin, was the best choice among those he knew.

anwhile,
Inside a mansion in ist County City, in a subterranean hall.
“High Priest, the latest news: the Imperial Southern Naval Fleet has defeated the Sea God Sect and most pirate gangs near the waters of ist County,” the monk Lamar respectfully reported to the obese figure seated before him.
“Hmm? Weren’t they engaged in back-and-forth battles with the Imperial Navy before? How co they were suddenly defeated this ti?” The High Priest sounded clearly surprised.
“This… we still don’t know the exact details; we are currently awaiting further intelligence,” said Lamar.
“And what about the Governor of Fishing Port Town, Rein? Did the Sea God Sect manage to kill him amidst the chaos?” the obese High Priest suddenly asked.
“This… from the battle reports sent to ist, we haven’t seen that happen,” Lamar delicately said.
“So, the plan to have the Sea God Sect assassinate him has failed again?” murmured the High Priest.
Lamar’s head hung even lower, not knowing what to say to the High Priest’s remark.
Just then, another monk appeared at the hall entrance, hands holding a letter.
Lamar gestured for him to bring it in.
This sealed letter likely contained the latest news.
He opened the letter quickly, glancing at it, his expression froze, and he stamred slightly, unsure of how to relay the news.
“Just speak up, don’t beat around the bush,” the seated obese High Priest, noticing Lamar’s hesitation, commanded.
“Uh… High Priest, according to the latest intelligence, it seems that Rein captured the deputy leader of the Black Sails Pirates and an envoy of the Sea God Sect, which led the Imperial Southern Naval Fleet to find the hidden bases of the major pirate gangs and the Sea God Sect.”
“What? So, you an to say that not only did nothing happen to him on his trip to Fishing Port Town but he also managed to accumulate more rit by wiping out the Sea God Sect and the pirates?” His narrow eyes twitched slightly in reaction.
Could there be anything more absurd?
They had hoped the Sea God Sect would kill Rein, but now it seed Rein had used the Imperial Navy to overturn the Sea God Sect entirely!
Adding yet another brilliant stroke to his record!
A brief silence fell in the subterranean hall.
“This won’t do, we cannot let Rein continue to grow stronger. At so point, he will inevitably act against us,” the High Priest stated, unable to contain himself any longer. His corpulent body rose from the large chair, pacing back and forth in the hall.
“Lamar, do you have any suggestions?”
The monk Lamar pondered carefully, then cautiously suggested,
“Uh… this… High Priest, the only sure thod I can think of is to lure him into the next Black Fla ritual and use the ritual’s power to eliminate him.”
“That’s a thod that’s certainly guaranteed to kill him.”
