Chapter 800: Chapter 351: Rebuilding the Secret Magic Knight Order (Part 3)

On the contrary, he, having a history with Julie and being a descendant of the Secret Magic Knight Order, is the least likely to be bribed by other forces.

In this situation, once he establishes the Secret Magic Knight Order, it’s hard to say whether he relies on Olivia or Olivia relies on him.

If Olivia and he choose to support different candidates, it would only mean that Olivia’s judgment is flawed.

”Player successfully establishes a faction and possesses the authority to recruit both dungeon natives and other players into their faction.”

”No limit on the number of dungeon natives joining the player’s faction.”

”Current number of players in the faction: 0, maximum number of players allowed: 12.”

”The goal of the player’s faction is: to choose a member within the faction and assist them in obtaining the position of Prime Minister.”

Compared to the Silent Route time, the maximum number of players allowed to join has increased, from 5 to 12.

Based on experiences from the Silent Route, the number of players that different factions can recruit is comparable.

The backdrop of the Steam Phantom Dungeon is Grimland, a large city with millions of residents, and tangled webs of power, far beyond what the Star Jump cruise ship could compare.

Even if the number of factions remains unchanged, calculations show that there would be around 70-80 players entering the dungeon.

If we count the solo players who do not join factions, the number of players entering the dungeon will exceed a hundred.

With so many unlucky individuals squeezed together, Grimland is bound to become bustling soon.

After Olivia granted Wu Chang the freedom to recruit Knight Order members, she continued:

”Recruiting suitable personnel takes time; till then, if you need any help, you can find Julie at Saint George’s Church, she will assist you.”

”If your investigation makes any progress, remember to inform Julie, she will help you wrap things up.”

”Sir Sean, the current Grimland resembles a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. Recklessly shattering the surface balance will lead to unexpected consequences.”

Wu Chang nodded in agreement; it’s undeniably great to have someone to wrap up the matters after stirring up trouble.

As for the worry of having his credit stolen, it’s nonexistent; he only cares about the judgment at the dungeon’s settlement and not how Olivia perceives him.

He turned to Julie and said:

”Archbishop Julie, in the coming days, I might frequently ask for your presence.”

Julie said:

”If you come to find me, it indicates progress in your investigation, which is indeed splendid.”

Olivia put her hood back on and said:

”Due to Prime Minister Ron’s assassination attempt, everything is piled up on me, and the Cabinet Ministers have been urging me to appoint an acting Prime Minister, I only managed to sneak out for a brief moment.”

”Sir Sean, for the time being, I won’t be able to contact you frequently. If you have critical information, you can reach me through Archbishop Julie.”

”Looking forward to your good news.”

As Olivia hurriedly left, a sense of fatigue emerged on Julie’s previously composed and calm face.

”I apologize, the queen is in a very difficult situation right now, unable to interact with you much.”

”You must have also seen on the way here, Grimland is currently in a chaotic mess, with various conflicts and tensions accumulating to a critical point.”

”Accumulated social conflicts need a venting channel. The queen intends to showcase national strength through the World Industrial Exposition, using it as an opportunity to alleviate various conflicts and redistribute interests.”

”But some people wish for the queen to become the outlet for social discontent.”

Wu Chang asked, ”Who are these people?”

Julie replied with a bitter smile: ”Everyone. As royalty, the cost of being high up is becoming the target of all.”

”I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be complaining so much; it’s just that seeing an old friend, coupled with being a bit weary lately, I couldn’t hold it back.”

Wu Chang shrugged and said, ”You’re indeed too tired; you’ve done nothing wrong and yet have apologized to me three times in a short period.”

”Even when trapped in the Moonlight Sanatorium, having to defeat Leman to leave, I never saw you like this.”

Julie sighed, ”At that time, I believed the Peace Church was the root of all chaos, and as long as these tumors were removed, the world would become peaceful, everything would become wonderful.”

”But later I realized that the world isn’t that simple; killing the Evil God doesn’t end people’s suffering.”

”Compared to now, struggling in this unseen quagmire, I’d rather return to the days of fighting the Peaceful Sect.”

Wu Chang stood still, momentarily speechless.

World peace, such an almost unsolvable issue; if it were up to him to solve it, he’d simply plant the Tree of Miracles and start wishing.

If Erin were not around, as an old friend, he’d give Julie a hug, comforting her confused soul.

But now, he can only sigh with Julie.

After all, Julie is an Archbishop, she soon recovers from her low point, suppressing the confusion in her eyes.

She said, ”As the queen mentioned, in Grimland, individual power is weak, so to facilitate your investigation of various cases, I found you a helper.”

Wu Chang curiously asked, ”Helper from the Holy Awakening Sect?”

Julie shook her head and said, ”I found you a helper, the best detective in all Grimland, and even Stilan, Reventon.”

”His personality, although arrogant, solitary, and eccentric, is highly capable, solving many seemingly unsolvable puzzles.”

”More importantly, he’s also a descendant of Secret Magic Knight Order members, eager to restore his ancestors’ glory, making him relatively easy for you to approach.”

Julie took out a business card, on which was written:

Sarr Street, Reventon Detective Agency.

”He investigates various mysteries throughout the year, with unpredictable whereabouts; you might need to visit multiple times to meet him.”

Wu Chang put away the business card, his expression turning somewhat odd.

He tentatively asked:

”The detective you mentioned named Reventon, does he happen to have curly short hair, about 1.8 meters tall, medium build, with a penchant for petty thefts and role play?”

Julie nodded: ”You’ve met him before?”

Wu Chang blinked and said, ”I think I know where to find him.”

After obtaining a special Token from Julie and agreeing on the means of contact, he left Saint George’s Cathedral with Erin.

They boarded the carriage they arrived in, Wu Chang knocked on the carriage and said:

”41 Sarr Street.”
