Chapter 71: Chapter 69 Creating Evidence

How could one possibly stop the ceremony that the Sea God Cult was about to hold in Nasir Town?

Irene, sitting in the carriage, fell deep into thought. With the Fischer family’s own power, secretly sabotaging the Sea God Cult’s ceremony seemed next to impossible.

However, the actual evidence was still insufficient. Convincing the Tempest Church’s old priest to immediately raid the Isaac family was out of the question.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, but she couldn’t just let the people of the Sea God Cult continue with that dangerous ceremony.

According to the information leaked by the Sea God Cult, the ceremony would result in heavy casualties among the Nasir citizens, and naturally, the Nasir Fischer family couldn’t possibly remain unscathed. She certainly understood this logic.

“Perhaps, Byrne could have a way.”

She knew that Byrne had read many books and was the smartest one of the three siblings. He was the force behind all the family’s investment affairs.

So Irene returned to the Fischer family and found Byrne practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard. She told him all the information and concerns she had heard.

“I see,” Byrne said, his forehead slightly sweaty, his expression changing after listening to the ceremony that could lead to heavy casualties in Nasir.

He put away his sword and began to ponder the dilemma raised by Irene, then suddenly laughed.

“I think, Irene, you have a small issue with your approach.”

Irene frowned slightly, still unclear about Byrne’s thoughts.

“What do you mean?” she asked.

Byrne chuckled and continued as he gazed towards the Isaac family:

“Do we really have no evidence of the Isaac family’s dealings with the Sea God Cult? In fact, such evidence could grow from the ground overnight, or it could appear out of nowhere in front of the Tempest Priest.”

Irene was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized what Byrne meant.

They had already confirmed there was an issue with the Isaac family, so the next step was simply to lead everyone to believe this.

Plus, as long as they could eliminate the Isaac family in a surprise attack, they could certainly find more connections between them and the Sea God Cult afterward.

So-called evidence, it didn’t matter whether it was real or fake, as long as it could make people believe!

Byrne pondered for a moment, then continued:

“When we create statues and ritual tools, there are many damaged and borrowed items, right? With a little modification, we could fabricate items belonging to the Sea God Cult.”

Irene shook her head, still feeling the creation of fake evidence would be difficult:

“We don’t know what the Sea God Cult’s objects look like. The Nasir Tempest Priest should be clear about that, and it would be very easy to be exposed if we just take anything there.”

Byrne smiled and said, “In reality, I do know what they look like.”

“Because I’ve read many books on mysticism, even banned books, which include knowledge of the Sea God Cult, from a forbidden book purchased at the Alchemy Council auction.”

He thought for a while and then continued:

“I can also use ‘Profound Memory’ to forge writings by Lady Isaac, to create a few letters of her communicating with the Sea God Cult. She had her servant deliver a donation to the orphanage and a letter; I’ve already seen it.”

“Moreover, we do actually have a piece of real evidence in our hands.”

Byrne went to the workshop to retrieve a bottle of dark blue potion, his expression extremely somber and his eyes filled with anger.

“Lady Isaac handed this over to Margaret, and I’ve learned its specific effects through the ‘Drug Verification’.”

He took a deep breath, using his spirituality to activate “Drug Verification.”

As his fingers holding the potion bottle glowed faintly, fragmented phrases appeared in his mind. They quickly rearranged themselves and coalesced into a humanly comprehensible meaning.

It was “knowledge.”

“Deep sea metamorphosis magic potion, its main ingredient is water, followed by the blood of a mysterious creature known as ‘Sea Demon,’ mixed with sea-bottom plants. If an intelligent being consumes it, they will gradually mutate towards the sea tribe, eventually turning into merfolk…”

At this point, Byrne’s hands were trembling, his entire being filled with rage!
