《Netheril’s Glory 》Chapter 124: Activating the Arrangement.
Advertisement
Under Punk's immense pressure, Minister Hutt quickly confessed his deeds. The details weren't thorough in this kind of forced confession, and Hutt also added extra to paint the Vimy family from a victim's perspective. He truly sounded like a sad old man who was forced under the Ti Xiaer Church's tyranny.
Punk, using his common sense and some prophetic spells, knew that minister Hutt was not as "innocent and deceived" as he pretended to be, but it didn't matter to him whether minister Hutt was really deceived or not. Because what concerned him the most was the Ti Xiaer Church's arrangement in Dolez City.
And now, with the confession of this "traitor" Hutt, that problem had been solved.
Generally speaking, Ti Xiaer Church used this powerful nobleman, minister Hutt, to cover up their traces and, the fat nobleman Zweig was used but them to purchase the perfume industry, which then spread the plague, and at the same time, many other small and big nobleman joined them in secret.
It has to be said that this kind of arrangement would have been brilliant if Ti Xiaer did not go crazy later. After all, no matter how clever an arrangement was, if the foundation became unstable, it would fail to play its due role, just like how Ti Xiaer's madness foiled her complete and well-crafted plans and exposed her traces.
Minister Hutt sold all the important strongholds of the Ti Xiaer Church without any hesitation. He thought he would be protected by Punk if he sold out Ti Xiaer Church. But what minister Hutt didn't know was that Punk had never even thought about having any relationship with his self-defeating family, or even if he really managed to win Punk's cooperation, that would only make the destruction of the family more inevitable, Because Punk has decided that after he dealt with the Ti Xiaer Church, he would start walking on the route of plunder.
Ignoring Hutt's request, Punk left the Vimy family mansion and climbed on a high wall. Then he coldly looked at the City Lord's castle in the center of the city.
"It's time to start, Ti Xiaer. And...you Mr. Keith Casser, you have eaten your fill now its time to pay the bill."
Punk thought secretly in his mind. And then, relying on the information from prediction spells, he pinpointed the exact time and activated the arrangement on knight Casser. On this dark night, it was like a huge eye staring at the city lord's castle from the darkness.

At this time, in the city lord's castle, knight Casser just knelt on the right side of Gorat and began another round of persuasion, but the lord who was addicted to sex was full of impatience. The only reason why he came to hear knight Casser's nagging was that he was very annoyed by the knight commander's frequent interruption in his fun. So, he wanted to throw all his rights to the other party directly so that he could have fun peacefully.
Although Punk wasn't aware of it, but the success of his arrangement this time was actually a huge coincidence; after all, for it to take effect, knight Casser had to come face-to-face with Gorat, and although knight Casser often visited the young city lord in the last few days, he never got to meet him personally because of Hutt's interference.
So there was a huge chance Gorat could have escaped this catastrophe, but...today, when Punk planned to use him, this unlucky Gorat came out.
While knight Casser was trying to persuade Gorat, he suddenly felt extreme discomfort and pain in his abdomen. This feeling came so quickly that before he could react, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The blood was not red but a weird gray-red color. Then a bloody smell immediately filled the whole hall.
This was what Punk left behind, a batch of high-concentrated plague viruses mixed with the Qi circulation potion.
Since Bahanger was unwilling to take action against Ti Xiaer, Punk planned to force him to take action. One must know that except for the antidote in Punk's hands, only Ti Xiaer had the treatment for Gorat at this moment. So naturally, Bahanger would have no other choice but to take action if he wanted to cure Gorat and keep his promise.
At the same time, the dwarf warrior, who was still forging the Mythril, violently stopped the falling hammer. Just now, through the battle qi he left on the crown of Gorat, he felt dense magical energy fluctuation that suddenly spread in all directions. These magical fluctuations were exactly the same as the disease on the sick refugees outside, but it was hundreds of times denser.
"How? Isn't it... Damn it"!
"Boom!"
Bahanger, without caring about the mithril that was about to take shape, immediately ran toward the wall of the forging room crazily. Accompanied by a loud roar, Bahanger smashed two thick brick walls in succession and appeared directly in the meeting hall of the city lord's castle.

The Dwarf Warrior's heart was full of remorse. Recently, he had taken serious precautions against all the energy fluctuations close to the city lord's castle, and even during the forging process, he diverted a small part of his attention to check for any magical fluctuations around Gorat, fearing that this useless lord might accidentally become infected with the terrible disease,
But…
Bahanger never expected that the plague would hide in the body of knight Casser, who came to visit him.
After coming to Gorat's side with his fastest speed, Bahanger immediately used his official-level battle qi to dispel the plague, but the outbreak of the plague was too fast, and the concentration was too high, so Gorat, a person who did not have any professional level, was infected on the spot with the terrible plague.
The furious Bahanger swept all the remaining plague viruses out of the castle with a swing of his hammer, but even so, the fact that Gorat was ill was irretrievable.
"Ti… Xia…er… you dare to insult the honor of my Hammer clan, from today onwards, you and I Bahanger-Hammer will be enemies for life."
Seeing Gorat fell to the ground with a perplexed expression, Bahanger's eyes became red, and his beard fluttered in the air furiously.
Gorat was already infected with a plague, which didn't have a cure at this time. And if the antidote was not found in time, he was bound to die. As he was the last member of the Hyde family, once he died under Bahanger's protection, it meant Bahanger, a member of the proud Hammer clan, could not keep his promise.
It also meant that the glory of the Hammer clan was tarnished by Bahanger, and according to the rules of the Hammer clan, he would no longer be eligible to have the surname of "Hammer." And this was totally unacceptable to the old dwarf above all.
As an already stubborn dwarf and now even filled with anger, Bahanger did not consider the so-called hand behind the scenes. In his mind, since Ti Xiaer created the plague, naturally, the plot would be carried by Ti Xiaer herself.
So without properly thinking about it, the dwarf warrior decided to find Ti Xiaer as soon as possible and then force her to hand over the antidote.
"Damn it! Damn it! I can never allow the glory of the hammer clan to be stained by my hand."
Bahamger squeezed the handle of the hammer madly, then looked at the group of frightened officials with his eyes almost gushing flames, and shouted:
"Don't just stare at my face, get lost, and quickly gather all the soldiers and order them to attack Ti Xiaer church."
Feeling the horrifying aura coming from Bahanger, several officials fainted with fright, and the rest only felt distressed. They have been busy squeezing refugees and have not investigated the Ti Xiaer church at all. So they had no clue how to attack or where to attack.
But when they saw Bahanger's red eyes, no one dared to say something. Bahanger's battle qi had already wrapped his hammer layer by layer at this time, and seeing such a scene, the officials feared that if they dared to utter excuses in front of the furious old dwarf, they would directly be mashed into a pulp.
So all the trembling officials remained silent. Bahanger seeing that no one was answering him, and was wasting his time, became even angrier and raised his hammer high. In the next second, a wave of fluctuating yellow-brown battle qi slowly formed on the hammer's head.
"I repeat it, quickly attack the Ti Xiaer Church, do you hear me?"
"God! We're done," an old official said desperately.
Just when all the officials thought they were dead, a slender hand gently stopped Bahanger's hammer.
"Well, Mr. Bahanger, please calm down. Anger will never solve the problem. And these officials don't know anything about the Ti Xiaer Church, so it will be useless even if you kill them."
"It's you, the pretty boy again."
Bahanger retreated his hammer with a violent shake and then roared loudly at Kang Kai's handsome face. His spits splashed around at the speed of bullets.
"I don't want to hear useless excuses. If you can't tell me where to find Ti Xiaer Church, I will fight with you today."
Seeing Bahanger's fire-spewing eyes and the condensing battle qi, Kang Kai knew that the almost irrational dwarf in front of him was not joking, but he did not have any expression of fear. He just sighed lightly and slowly said:
"Although I don't know. But...I think I know someone who knows."

Asturian Warbringer - A LitRPG on Earth
Currently releasing 5 chapters a week Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes. He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought. Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life. Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first. To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in. Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde. But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right? A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path. This is a slow-paced, character-centered story. If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel: Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
