Trash of the Count's Family

TCF2-54

There was a commotion in the area.

“Did she say... The Fire of Purification?”

The group that was on the top of the list for this second test was the Fire of Purification.

Even the Agents of Destruction who caused all sorts of issues and gave the Empire quite the headache were listed under the Fire of Purification.

“That crazy cult organization......!”

It was known as the worst of the cults and an organization full of crazed believers.

“...What kind of place is that?”

“You don’t know the Fire of Purification?”

However, the ‘reason’ for why they were crazed believers was not well-known.

“Yeah, I don’t. What is up with them?”

“Ah, you are from outside the Empire. The believers of that group are to be immediately executed if found.”

“Immediate execution not just for the leaders but even for the regular believers?”

“Yeah.”

Other people who had been listening to their conversation nodded their heads in agreement. People to be immediately executed. The Church of the Fire of Purification was the place you never wanted to be around nor have any association with whatsoever.

“Man, how crazy of a cult are they? What the hell have they done?”

“...I don’t know? I've only heard that it was a crazy place.”

“What?”

“...I guess it is weird. But wouldn't there be a reason for them to be the worst criminal organization?”

An odd air current flowed through the crowd.

However, this current could not grow. In fact, the appearance of the Pope of the most evil organization was slowly increasing the heated atmosphere that had died down a bit.

However, there were people who could not accept this.

“Unbelievable!”

One of the candidates glared at Mary as if he could not believe this at all.

“I couldn't find a single believer no matter how thoroughly I investigated the capital but you caught the Pope and all of the bishops?”

The Fire of Purification was the group that was the hardest capture, the group who was the best hidden.

How did Heni Wishrop find them when nobody even knew the accurate location of their temple?

She was merely a royalty of a perished kingdom!

“Lies!”

One of the candidates raised his voice.

“I'm certain that Candidate 19 has brought fake captives!”

He pointed at Heni Wishrop and looked around at the crowd.

“How could a perished royal, someone who has lost her helpers, capture the Pope and Bishops of a church that the Imperial family has not managed to locate for almost 100 years?! I may be willing to believe it more if she said that they were believers, but this is clearly a lie to get high marks!”

The candidate then glared at Mary.

“!”

He then got shocked.

Heni Wishrop was smiling.

Mary opened her mouth. Her gaze headed past the Chief of Staff and the Emperor to the Huayans patriarch.

“You just need to check if it is a lie or not.”

Her voice was very calm.

“The Pope of the Church of the Fire of Purification.” You just need to see the power that put her on the Imperial Palace's list for immediate execution.”

People's gazes headed up to the sky. The middle-aged woman who they presumed was the pope was still dangling in the air while being held by a skeleton monster. She looked unsightly.

Mary pointed at her.

"Shall we check?”

The citizens of the Empire looked toward the Pope's bound hands and feet.

The Pope had her eyes looking down and was quietly standing there with a dispirited look on her face.

Mary looked at the other candidates.

“That is needed for all of you to accept it, is it not?”

The candidate who got angry flinched after looking into her purple eyes.

Her eyes were so clear.

There were not any signs of anger and annoyance. The way the eyes were firm and his reflection shone so brightly in them made him scared.

- Human, Mary is doing well!

Cale heard Raon’s voice in his mind.

- But will the Huayans patriarch make the Pope use her power?

‘No.’

- I think that he will stop her and prevent her from using her power! Won’t the Huayans patriarch be screwed if the Pope shows everybody how she can defeat dead mana?

‘That’s right.’

The Pope could not purify dead mana like Cale. However, the red smoke or red aura was able to resist dead mana and push it back.

Revealing that here?

‘Pfft.’

The moment the corners of Cale’s lips curled up...

"There is no need for verification.”

The Chief of Staff stepped forward.

Mary immediately responded.

“I want to properly get my results accepted through an accurate verification process.”

The Chief of Staff looked at Mary and smiled as he responded.
