Chapter 466: Bryson

"Victor was a gambling addict once and had a bad reputation among the local citizens. But after he received the future enlightenment from our Goddess, his personality changed completely. Then onwards, Victor stopped visiting the gambling houses and became a true devotee of Light Church. He also used his newly gained prophecy power to gather unique artifacts and even started his daily training to become a Knight. If I\'m not wrong, his current strength should be around Crystal Knight or Radiant Knight Level. At this moment, he is training in the Holy See." Cardinal Smith responded politely.

\'Oh? It seems he is too cautious.\' Charles smiled lightly with a nod, stealthily activated his [Hand of Wonder] skill, and let the invisible string move towards Cardinal\'s chest area.

Simultaneously, he showed a thoughtful look on his face and asked a different question.

"Do you know anyone named Bryson, Mr. Smith? He should be a powerful Awaken in this world."

Upon hearing those words, Cardinal Smith showed a surprised look and asked.

"How did you know him?" His voice contained curiosity and shock.

\'Did Bryson contact him?\' While he was in deep thoughts, the invisible string moved towards the \'Light Badge\' on his chest area, made a coil around the badge, and was bound entirely with it.

Meanwhile, Charles moved his hands upward, let out a loud yawn, and responded.

"I came in contact with a person who was working under Bryson. But when I tried to get more information from him, he entered the Dreamworld and got killed by a Dream Creature-"

Before Charles could finish his words, Cardinal Smith looked at his face and interrupted his talking.

"Are you talking about the Demon Sorcerer Nash? I indeed heard that he had been working under Royal Family of Aetas but never expect to hear his name again."

"You knew of him?" This time, it was Charles\'s turn to be surprised.

While in surprise, he stealthily moved his fingers, manipulated the invisible string, and stealthily stole the \'Light Badge\' from his robe.

Without perceiving anything odd, Cardinal Smith showed a solemn look on his face and answered.

"Yes, I battled him thirty-two years ago and beat him for killing a Light church member. But before I could finish him off, he used a mysterious technique and disappeared all of a sudden. So, he escaped to the Dream World, huh. No wonder I felt something was off at that time." He paused for a moment and then asked.

"How did you find out Bryson\'s name? I\'m damn sure that Nash would\'ve killed himself before spilling secrets about his boss, though."

"I managed to find out this guy\'s name through some means," Charles replied vaguely.

"Memory erasing spell?" Cardinal Smith chuckled inwardly and spoke while turning his face solemn.

"Hmm, you\'ve indeed asked about a very troublesome person. Bryson… As far as I know, he is the leader of an organization called \'The Deceivers\' and has some mysterious background. In truth, he was the one who tried to steal the sealed \'Nightmare\' 210 years ago and almost succeeded. But someone else intercepted him while he was escaping our pursuit and stole the sealed \'Nightmare\' box from him. That day was the most shameful day for all our elite Light Church members. The same goes for Bryson. I heard that he is still searching for the sealed \'Nightmare\' box but haven\'t gotten a single clue yet."

"Someone else intercepted him? Do you know who it is?" Charles asked in interest.

"No idea. But I suspect that person might be a member of Druid\'s Guild." Cardinal Smith responded in a solemn tone.

"Why are you suspecting Druid\'s Guild?" This time, it was Melody who asked the question.

Her eyes and face were clearly showing that she was significantly startled.

Meanwhile, Cardinal Smith stared into Melody\'s eyes and spoke coldly.

"When Bryson stole the sealed \'Nightmare\' box in the secret chamber, there was another person who infiltrated the Holy See and intercepted Pope Gabriel from chasing after Bryson. That person\'s name is Laura Massey."

Upon hearing those words, Melody\'s face went stiff all of a sudden.

She then turned her face solemnly and heaved a heavy sigh.

"I did suspect that someone from Druid\'s Guild betrayed others and sold the map to gain Light Church\'s trust. But I never imagined this kind of twist. So, you guys got our ancient map from Lady Laura, huh. Is she still alive?" She asked.

Meanwhile, Cardinal Smith shook his head and gave a short reply.

"Pope Gabriel killed her on the spot."

A strange silence appeared in the carriage. Only the wheel creaking noise echoed in everyone\'s ears from time to time.

At that moment, Charles noticed a slight emotional change in Melody\'s face and decided to shift the topic.

"We\'ll talk about it once we finish our job first. Melody, what do you know about Duke Ismael? How powerful is he?"

Upon hearing his words, Melody also calmed down her inner emotions, went silent for a moment to reorganize her thoughts, and then spoke.

"If you want to know about his character, you can think of him as a scheming old fox, Your Highness. He will use every means to provoke you and might even trick you to attack him first-"

Before ending her speech, Charles raised his right hand and interrupted her.

"I don\'t have any plan on playing a political game here. What I want to know is about Duke Ismael\'s strength. Tell me how strong he is and what artifacts do he owns."

Meanwhile, Melody nodded her head and answered.

"He is a unique Awaken who possesses the power to speak with death and also has the power to control shadows. Other than this, I know nothing much about him, Your Highness."

At that moment, Cardinal Smith let out a fake cough and added.

"I once heard from His Holiness that Duke Ismael is blessed by the \'Luck\' itself. The longer you take time to defeat him, the more he will get an advantage during the battle. I advise you to pull him into the pocket dimension and finish him off stealthily. There is a high chance that his main domain might be \'Luck.\'"

\'Main Domain? Like the gods, mortals can also have more than one domain?\' Charles furrowed his brows and chose to search about it later.

In the meantime, Melody looked at Charles and continued.

"He also possesses a unique spear and used it to kill a formidable Demon Sorcerer named \'Harrison Blade\' a century ago. Although I don\'t know much about that artifact\'s name or its abilities, I heard that this spear has the power to freeze oneself for some time, Your Highness."

Cardinal Smith shook his head and corrected her.

"That spear\'s name is called \'Unholy Spear.\' Anyone who got stabbed by this spear would indeed be frozen for a particular amount of time, but it\'s not a mysterious ability. I heard that this ability has something to do with one\'s blood and soul."

"You are indeed knowledgeable," Charles showed a surprised face and then commented.
