The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 353 - 235: Merlin’s Top Secret Conspiracy!

It had just rained during the day, and tonight the air was exceptionally clear, the silvery moonlight frosting the Magic Association’s glazed windows, dividing the world into stark black and white through the window lattice.

Outside the window lattice, Farol was covered in the thickening twilight, with the city below unseen, only the faint horizon doused in silvery moonlight at the edge of one’s sight, and beyond that the glittering Maria River.

Merlin felt his face was nearly as black as the night sky.

He grimly stared at An Su before him, who was smiling with an unblemished purity, clean as the moonlight before the lattice. If someone unfamiliar with An Su’s nature were present, they might actually believe he was sincere.

This kid was always up to something, his antics so far-fetched they spanned beyond the sky. Today, he had sought Merlin out willingly, surely harboring no good intentions—Merlin had long been psychologically prepared for this, but even then, he hadn’t expected the words from An Su to shock him as they did.

—"Bishop of Chaos, the real Merlin Andre has been body-snatched by you, hasn’t he?"

An Su declared earnestly, his face wearing an innocent smile that seemed to say ’I can see right through you.’

"Otherwise, why would you devise such despicable test papers? Are you aware that with that exam, nearly no saint could pass the ordination test, breaking their Dao hearts and shattering their faith? Given time, the aging issue within the Church will become grave, the transition to younger generations will falter, and at its worst, it will result in the Church having no future!"

The implications of such a thing were indeed terrible, akin in the past world to not a single candidate passing the national civil service exam—a major incident with national repercussions.

An Su spoke with heartfelt grief, his cyan eyes flickering with sadness and pain, Read new adventures at novelbuddy

"I cannot imagine a real Radiant Bishop creating such test papers, only a Bishop of Chaos would plot such detestable and low scheming. Yet I know that this is merely the prologue to your vile conspiracy, just an appetizer."

Did I actually come up with this?

Merlin was speechless.

The kid’s ability to spout nonsense and cast unfounded accusations was getting stronger. Last time, under his name, a set of devilishly difficult test papers had been released, and Merlin had thought that was the limit of An Su’s lies, but it turned out to be just the beginning.

The real entity isn’t Merlin; it’s the Bishop of Chaos...?

Why don’t you say Cersei isn’t the Imperial Princess but the Chaotic Saintess in disguise?

He rolled his eyes at An Su—a world-renowned advantage and convenience of the Pure White Eyes demonstrated right there, not needing to physically roll the eyeballs, just looking was enough.

"You said this is just the appetizer in my vile conspiracy, so what’s my next plan?" Merlin asked, his laughter tinged with sarcasm and disbelief.

He even began to look forward to what kind of fabrications An Su would come up with next.

"As far as I know, your strategy is divided into two fronts, internal and external,"

"For the external front, Bishop of Chaos, you’ve colluded with the three major border families, especially the lord of the Chenxing family, and have mobilized the Church Nation’s army at the border, waiting for your signal to launch a surprise attack, capture several strategic border towns with a blitzkrieg, before advancing through the north mountains into the heartland of the Imperial Capital and striking it."

Merlin listened as if being entertained, finding An Su’s lying skills increasingly remarkable—uttering falsehoods effortlessly, as if they were the absolute truth.

To outsiders, it might really seem like An Su’s father was a traitor to the Church Nation.

"As for the internal front, you have arranged for a terrifying number of witches to infiltrate the Imperial Capital, seducing all beings, corroding the minds and finances of the Church’s saints, wearing them down until their strength fades significantly," An Su pointed out sorrowfully, his tone one of abhorrence and indignation.

The kid was attaching the things he himself had done onto others...

Listening to this, Merlin started to lose his ability to laugh.

"Moreover, in collusion with the Imperial Princess who has long been possessed by the Chaotic Saintess, you’re secretly purging the Church’s administration!"

So there was really an episode about the Chaotic Saintess possessing Cersei!

A slight twitch appeared at the corner of Merlin’s mouth.

"I have heard that to achieve your goals and weaken the Church’s power, you have adopted harsh and despicable means, framing and slandering many saints with a random draw, it’s absolutely terrifying."

...This time it really was his doing.

Merlin was visibly alarmed, wondering how An Su could have known.

—An Su was guessing; he was a good kid who put himself in others’ shoes, thinking that if he were the leader and made a mistake, he would definitely push the blame onto his subordinates.

An Su rattled off a litany of accusations, exposing Merlin’s myriad so-called crimes unabashedly,

Merlin’s expression became subtly complex as An Su’s lies mixed truth with fiction. Though the boy was still spouting tall tales, they were all twisted from recent real events.

The way this kid was talking, he didn’t seem to be lying at all.

Was he for real or not?

The more constipated Merlin’s expression became, the more impassioned and earnest An Su’s words grew,

He looked directly at Merlin, unwaveringly, his cyan eyes gleaming with silvery moonlight, looking holy and solemn. At the climax of his conspiracy theory, he gestured dramatically with his arm,

"With these internal and external strategies at play, Farol will be caught in a dilemma, the Church too busy to cope, and the Imperial Capital will soon be raising the white flag in surrender!"
