Chapter 69: Fabricating Evidence
How can we stop the ceremony that the Poseidon Cult is about to hold in the town of Nasir?
Irene in the carriage fell into deep thought. With the power of the Fisher family itself, it was almost impossible to secretly sabotage the rituals of the Poseidon Cult.
However, the actual evidence was not sufficient, and it was impossible to convince the old priest of the Storm Church to immediately raid the Isaac family.
It's a dilemma, but we cannot allow the people of the Poseidon Cult to continue holding that dangerous ritual.
According to the information revealed by the Poseidon Cult, the Nasir people will suffer heavy casualties, and the Nasir Fisher family will not be able to remain unscathed. She certainly understands the reason.
"Maybe, Byrne can find a way."
She knew that Byrne had read a lot of books and was the smartest among the three siblings. He was the one who made all the investment decisions for the family.
So Irene returned to the Fisher family, found Byrne practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and told him everything she had heard and her concerns.
"I see."
Byrne's forehead was slightly covered with sweat, and his face changed after listening to the ceremony that might result in heavy casualties for Nasir.
He put away his sword and began to think about the dilemma raised by Irene. After thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed.
"I think, Irene, you actually have a small problem with your thinking."
Irene frowned slightly, still not understanding Byrne's thoughts.
"you mean?"
Byrne laughed, stared in the direction of the Isaac family and continued:
"Do we really have no evidence of any connection between the Isaac family and the Poseidon Cult? In fact, that evidence could have grown out of the ground overnight, or it could have appeared out of thin air in front of the Storm Priest."
Irene was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what Byrne meant.
They have already confirmed the problem with Isaac's family. In this case, the next thing to do is to lead everyone to believe this.
Moreover, as long as we can raid and wipe out the Isaac family, we will definitely be able to find out more about their connection with the Poseidon Cult afterwards.
The so-called evidence does not matter whether it is true or false, it just needs to make people believe it!
Byrne pondered for a moment and continued:
"When we were making the statues and ritual implements, we probably damaged and borrowed a lot of things. With a little improvement, we can make instruments belonging to the Poseidon Cult."
Irene shook her head, still feeling that it would be difficult to fabricate false evidence:
"We don't know the appearance of the Poseidon Cult. Nasir's Storm Priest should know clearly. If we just take something there, it will be easily exposed."
Byrne smiled and said, "I do know what they look like, actually."
"Because I have read many books on the occult, even banned books, including the knowledge related to the Poseidon Cult. That is the content recorded in a banned book that was photographed by the Alchemy Council."
He thought for a while and continued:
"I can also use 'deep memory' to forge the text written by Mrs. Isaac and create several letters between her and the Poseidon Cult. She asked the servant to hand over a donation to the orphanage and a letter. I have already read it."
"And we actually do have one piece of real evidence in our hands."
Byrne went to the workshop and brought back a bottle of dark blue potion. His face was extremely solemn and there was anger in his eyes.
"Mrs. Isaac gave this thing to Margaret, and I learned its specific effects through the effect of 'medicinal property identification'."
He took a deep breath and used his spiritual energy to activate "Medicinal Properties Identification".
The fingers holding the potion bottle glowed slightly, and fragmented words emerged in his mind. They were quickly rearranged and reconstructed into a meaning that humans could understand.
That is "knowledge".
"The Dark Sea Transformation Potion. Its main ingredients are water, followed by the blood of a mysterious being called 'Sea Devil', mixed with seabed plants. If an intelligent lifeform takes it, it will gradually become alienated towards the sea creatures and eventually become a fishman..."
When Byrne said this, his hands were shaking slightly and he was furious!
He could never forgive the Isaac family and the Poseidon Cult!
He actually gave such a dangerous and terrifying thing to Margaret who was pregnant, maliciously hoping that they would become members of the sea tribe.
There have always been a huge number of sea creatures in the ocean. They all belong to the category of mysterious creatures. More than 90% of them believe in the sea god, and a very small number of sea creatures also believe in the storm master like humans.
Due to their identical beliefs, the members of the Poseidon Cult have always had a very good relationship with the sea people, which is also an important reason why they were able to retreat to the islands and have not been wiped out by the Orthodox Church.
Irene stared at the dark blue potion. It was indeed a huge mistake that Mrs. Isaac did not force Margaret to drink it.
That deep blue potion will undoubtedly become the most crucial and the only authentic evidence!
After her thoughts were completely clear, Irene smiled and continued to add her thoughts:
"In addition to sufficient physical evidence, we also need sufficient human evidence. Just leave this matter to me. You don't have to worry too much."
"We must hurry up and gather evidence, because the Storm Priest also needs time to convince the mayor to mobilize the patrol team and ask the Vaner Knights to cooperate."
Of the four major knight families in Nasir Town, the strongest Taylor Knight Family has moved away from the east coast, the second strongest Isaac Knight Family has ties to the Poseidon Cult, and another knight family was destroyed in the war.
The last remaining family name is Vaner. In the family, there is only a pair of knights, a father and a son who are not young. Both of them are of middle-level strength. The whole family is in an awkward situation with no successor.
The blood concentrations of several younger descendants of their family are extremely low, and they all have hidden bloodlines. Even if they take awakening potions to develop their powers, they cannot reach the minimum knight standard and cannot master the inheritance of the knight's bloodline power.
Irene nodded, knowing that time was running out, and immediately said:
"Then let's start preparing immediately and try to convince the Storm Priest. After all, we only have two days left. In addition to forging evidence, we also need to prepare various props for battle."
The side that is better prepared in a battle has a huge advantage, and both of them are aware of this.
Byrne turned to leave, but immediately turned back and said seriously:
"Oh, right, we also need a backup plan. What should we do if the Storm Priest doesn't believe us, or if he believes us but still doesn't agree to a surprise attack on the Isaac family? "
"It is indeed possible..."
Irene was silent for a while, knowing that if that time really came, the entire Nasir would be a dangerous place.
She sighed and finally said:
"Let's get Chris, Darren, and Margaret out of the shelter first, and have Guard Captain Tio take them and important supplies outside of Nasir, back to the cabin I lived in ten years ago."
"If we fail to convince the Storm Priest, we will need to evacuate Nasir as a group. The farther the better. I will also send someone to notify the blacksmith shop, Granny Nada, and John."
When Byrne heard that Allen was not mentioned among the people to be notified by Irene, he was silent for a moment and didn't say anything more.
As for the option of the Fisher family fighting the dangerous ritual on their own, it was no longer within the consideration of the siblings from the beginning.
It was a ritual that would cause thousands of deaths and injuries. The terrifying power it contained was absolutely enormous, and the mere thought of it was chilling.
The next night.
As if the night that could swallow everything had arrived, strong winds blew from the sea. The huge bell hanging on the bell tower at the top of the church was blown by the storm, and the powerful sound echoed throughout Nasir.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Irene, Byrne and some people from the Fisher family walked into the church, and they also tied up a servant from the Isaac family.
The servant, whose eyes were filled with fear, had very consciously confessed to the problem with Mrs. Isaac and volunteered to become a witness to accuse the family.
"Ms. Irene, Mr. Byrne, the reason you came here with so much fanfare is..."
The old priest in the church walked out slowly, put his hands behind his back, stared at everyone in the shadows, frowned, and his eyes were extremely serious.
"What we are about to say is very important. It may even affect the survival of the entire Nasir."
Irene stood in the moonlight very calmly. She took out a dark blue potion and said slowly:
"There is not much time left. Please use the church's special authority after listening to me and immediately eliminate...the heretics."
