87 New God (2/2)

Gresham shook his head as he said, ”how could we possibly believe any of this, we've been trying to contact a god since before I was born. Hell even longer than that before the organization even became known as the purifiers. Yet, some guy just shows up and suddenly we found a god we can plead for help too”.

”I agree it is quite suspicious, but I guess you are gonna have to decide on whether this is legitimate or not. If you think that man can't be trusted I want you to kill him. We don't need any unforeseen problems popping up because he was just a rat for the magi”.

Gresham's eyes got wider when he realized what Cornel said.

”Are you telling me that guy who first made contact with the god is here in Delmar City?”

”Yes, that is why I will be giving you some magical equipment to inspect him and a few things to guard against charming magic, you need to go now to not be late”.

Gresham wasn't pleased that Cornel was telling him to go now because of his invested interest in Desmond.

”Can't you get someone else to do it instead I kind of want to personally see that guy I brought in die”.

Cornel had a dissatisfied look on his face after listening to what Gresham said.

”Put your petty vendetta aside this is far more important than some random person you met on the street. I don't have a lot of people I can trust to do this on hand at the moment so you're going to suck it up and go there now. If this is real then our long-awaited revolution against the magi can finally begin. There's practically no chance of us communing with a god tonight anyway so it's not like you're missing anything special”.

Gresham debated over going, but caved in and decided to go to the meeting.

”If I'm going can I get a drop of a healing potion for my tooth it's killing me”.

”No, you can't you think those things grow on trees. If we were wealthy enough to spare a healing potion for every broken tooth or stubbed toe one of our members has then. We could have launched an assault on the magi decades ago. Now get you to butt moving its almost dark so people are starting to come in for the ritual sacrifice”.

Gresham grimaced over everything, but got up and left as he was told.
