Chapter 978 Faelyn's Concern

"Father, you should know how dangerous the Demon Gathering Arrays can be if they fall into the wrong hands, right? Have you a.s.signed any experts to protect the Demon Gathering Arrays from getting misused or stolen?" Leon inquired.

"Of course, I have, Son," Heinrich confirmed with a solemn nod. He was not that thoughtless.

"However, I've only a.s.signed two Transcendents to protect each Demon Gathering Array. If there's any problem with the Demon Gather Array, at least one of them will report the issue back to me."

"But you haven't checked on them ever since their deployment, have you? Father?" Leon asked.

"Yeah, and that bothers me," Heinrich nodded concernedly.

"I've been too busy managing various affairs in the empire that I didn't spare the extra thought to check on the management of these Demon Gathering Arrays. If there's a situation in which the Transcendents cannot report back to me, I will remain unaware of the situation."

"The Transcendents are only at the Preliminary Accession stage. Thus, if the devil wors.h.i.+ppers have anyone stronger than… No, they definitely have experts stronger than Preliminary Accession-stage Transcendents."

Heinrich recalled the unknown murder of the Geyser Kingdom's envoys.

"In that case, we can a.s.sume that some of the Demon Gathering Arrays deployed to Durham and Valaran had already been compromised along with the Transcendents a.s.signed to protect them," Leon stated seriously.

"Do you remember the precise number of Demon Gathering Arrays and which cities they were deployed to, Father? I will go ahead and check them out first while you organize the Transcendents to strengthen their protection, Father."

"Of course, I remember. I had it recorded down on a map," Heinrich sighed.

Heinrich pulled open a drawer before taking out the map marked with black dots and extending it out to his son with his hand.

However, Leon did not accept the map in case his father needed it later. He simply scanned it and imprinted a copy in his memory and Archive.

"Keep for putting you through this trouble, Son. We wouldn't be having this problem if I didn't ask Amelia and Ignis to replicate the Demon Gathering Array and distribute them to Durham and Valaran."

"Perhaps, you overlooked it for this reason," Heinrich added.

However, Leon denied such credit.

"Don't worry about it, Father. You had good intentions. If anyone's at fault, it's the ones taking advantage of your kindness and having ill intentions on the Demon Gathering Arrays," Leon replied.

"Besides, I believe it's more productive to deal with the problems at hand rather than worrying about who's at fault. On that note, you have a big job to do, Father," Leon stated shortly after.

Heinrich was immediately taken aback.

"What big job do I have apart from gathering Transcendents to reinforce Durham and Valaran?" Heinrich wondered.

"Have you already forgotten, Father?" Leon asked.

"Since we know the devil wors.h.i.+ppers use lies to preach about their Sun G.o.d Church, you need to educate the people with facts instead. As long as our people know the truth or are even aware of it at the very least, they will doubt what the devil wors.h.i.+ppers preach."

"Furthermore, we already found the ident.i.ty of the devil wors.h.i.+pper preaching in the North Reclamation Camp, Deacon Artemise. She doesn't seem to be local nor a person from Durham or Valaran."

"According to the people's description, she doesn't seem to be someone from the Ishaan Kingdom either. She is most like from the Geyser Kingdom. You need to a.s.sign high-level Transcendents to observe her, Father."

"It would be best if they are at least comparable to Rank 2 Transcendents for insurance," Leon added.

"Observe the devil wors.h.i.+pper?" Heinrich furrowed his brows.

"You mean we should continue to watch her preach her religion to our people, son? Wouldn't it be better if we just capture her for interrogation to find out the rest of the devil wors.h.i.+ppers in our empire?"

"No, if she's a devil wors.h.i.+pper with great control over the power of wrath, normal interrogation and torture methods might not work. Observing her might actually be better," Heinrich suddenly thought.

"Yeah, it's difficult for us to gauge what kind of mentality the true devil wors.h.i.+ppers must have to control the power of wrath with their anger," Leon mentioned.

"At the very least, we can conclude that they aren't people with a normal state of mind. Although I am confident in my torture methods, I don't possess absolute certainty. Thus, it's not worth risking the loss of our only lead."

Against something Leon had yet to grasp fully, there would naturally be unknown variables. As such, he couldn't guarantee that he could torture answers out of the devil wors.h.i.+pper.

"So observing this devil wors.h.i.+pper is our best outcome, huh?" Heinrich uttered.

"Yes, Father. At least, I think so," Leon nodded before proceeding to explain, "There are two pros to this option."

"One, we find out when the devil wors.h.i.+pper comes in contact with the other devil wors.h.i.+ppers hidden in the empire. Of course, the prerequisite for this is that our experts don't get caught monitoring her."

"Second, we can check whether our anti-spread method is effective or not once we educate the ma.s.s. I'm sure even you don't know all the details about the sun and Cataclysm, so I will transmit the knowledge to you now, Father," Leon stated.

Shortly after, Leon used the Spirit Transmission Art on his father.

Heinrich quickly learned about Empyrean Allheaven Wrath, True Divinity Soul Fragment Awakening, the Celestial Realms, the Wrath Law, and the truth behind the Cataclysm.

However, Heinrich was afraid that he would forget.

"Go, go. I need to write this all down," Heinrich quickly said as he pulled out a spare paper from the drawer to jog everything down.

Leon nodded with a slight smile.

Shortly after, Leon picked his first destination in mind and opened the Dark Pa.s.sage. Faelyn silently bowed to Heinrich before stepping into the black portal with Leon.

Nevertheless, Faelyn had this helpless and concerned look on her face. She couldn't contribute to the conversation at all.

At the same time, Faelyn seriously contemplated what she could do to be useful to Leon.

Faelyn didn't want to be left behind by Leon and the others.
