GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

After showing his appreciation for the good work, the commander said sternly, “But we must not rest on our laurels. It is not time to do that.”

“We must catch the last one and use her to teach the world a lesson about the fate of those who persecute our comrades. We must let them know that not even a fate weaver can escape from this sorry fate.”

The person giving the report saluted and said, “Yes, commander.”

The commander was really in a good mood. He said, “I should have come earlier.”

The first team of lamp bearers that came to the town were sent here to mainly investigate what had happened to Sheckel’s team. They brought a lot of protection, but they didn’t expect that Bushwick would really attack them.

The nobles have been afraid of lamp bearers for hundreds of years. It was already incomprehensible that Sheckel was attacked and her team was wiped out. So they sent people to confirm the details and make sure that no one was actually fooling them and setting up Bushwick.

Even if Bushwick did it, they expected him to be afraid of them. They expected him to beg for forgiveness or run away. They didn’t expect that he would wait for them to come and then attack them.

But Bushwick really did so. He attacked the lamp bearers right from the first day they arrived in Ivory Town. This forced the lamp bearers to put an end to their investigation.

The investigation was delayed for a month until the powerful commander came and broke the situation. Without the interference of the Ivory family, the lamp bearers have been able to make a lot of progress in their investigation.

In just one day since Bushwick was captured, a lot of information was acquired, and the investigation made a lot of progress. This put the commander in a good mood.

Even though the nobles are doing the unexpected and have decided to gather their forces to attack the lamp bearers, he was still in a good mood because there was finally progress.

However, the commander’s good mood didn’t last long because the investigation into Sheckel’s death is not the most important reason he was sent here.

He had more important things to accomplish, so he asked about it immediately after his mood settled.

“How is the search for the communication node? Where is it?”

Someone hurriedly replied, “We can confirm that the communication node is not in Ivory Town. But we can’t confirm if it is in the area around Ivory Town, and we can’t confirm why it has been cut off from the network.”

This wasn’t what he wanted to hear. So it made him frown.

His frown couldn’t be seen, though. The helmet he was wearing covered his face, so no one could tell what expression he had on his face.

But they could hear his voice clearly and identify the displeasure in the tone with which he asked his next question.

“Do you have any idea who took it? Is it the group of blood worshipers?”

The person shook his head as they replied, “We can’t tell. We don’t know anything. For all that we know, the communication node might have been destroyed.”

The commander shook his head and said, “Impossible. It would require a god or godling to shatter. I don’t believe that a godling is involved in this small matter.”

Then he said to the person, “Keep looking. It is still out there and it must return to us.”

The person saluted and said, “Yes, commander.”

The commander nodded and said, “Next.”

The next person in the room began their report immediately. They spoke quickly and straight to the point. But the commander was only half listening.

His mind was on the communication node. The communication node is what they call the bloody heart artifact. It is what he was sent to find.

The bloody heart is a high-grade divine artifact. That means it wasn’t created from the corpse of an epic being or legendary being. It was created from the corpse of a true god or godling.

The fact that it is a high-grade artifact makes it very valuable. Many people know its value, so many people have stolen the bloody heart many times in the past.

The most notorious group of people that has stolen the bloody heart and other parts many times in the past is the group of blood worshipers.

This group used to be called the Church of Blood when the god of killing was still alive. But since the death of the god of killing and persecution by the god of justice, their status has been demoted to that of a cult, and they are being actively hunted.

The cultists of blood worshipers believe that they can resurrect the god of killing by gathering his corpse. It is why they have been attacking captains and stealing the communication nodes from them.

But no matter how many times the worshippers of blood stole the pieces of the corpse of the god of killing, they have always been found, and their plan has always been thwarted.

Regardless of who took the communication node and no matter where they went, the lamp bearers have always been able to find them. Unfortunately, that is not the case this time.

This time, the communication node disappeared, and the blood ocean was riled up. Even the god of justice was alarmed.

The blood ocean is the authority of the pathway of killing. Any godling of the pathway of killing who possesses it will be able to become the true god of the pathway.

This great and powerful object became active at the same time that the communication node was stolen. This was a bad omen.

The god of justice decreed that the communication node must be found at all costs, so he was sent to Ivory Town to interfere in the conflict. His job is to end the conflict and let the investigation continue as soon as possible.
