"You, you mean... you discovered an unstable space-time rift? In Indhal?!" After hearing Yang Qiu''s purpose, the fat official''s jaw almost dropped to the coffee table.


    "It''s not certain at the moment, but the possibility is very high." Yang Qiu seriously said to Jill, "Mr. Gumen, you remember that our undead friends just fought with the Church of the Fiery Sun in the wasteland outside the suburbs last month."


    "I remember, I remember." The fat official shivered and took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket to wipe his sweat. S~ea??h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "I passed by that area not long ago and detected faint traces of spatial fluctuations." Yang Qiu was still very serious. "You know, I am not a space-based spellcaster, and I could not capture the traces of space-time rifts more clearly, so I just searched around there and returned empty-handed."


    "Last week, the city hall established a labor station to collect the city''s homeless people and assign them to the Environmental Sanitation Bureau to be responsible for garbage collection in the city." After a pause, Yang Qiu said in a horrified tone, "Just yesterday, when I passed by the labor station, I felt a hint of... the breath of the void."


    The fat official''s hand trembled and the handkerchief fell onto his thigh.


    "But, why didn''t our night watchmen find anything?" the fat official said, trying to remain calm.


    "Perhaps it''s because the cracks had not been completely formed yet, and the aura it revealed was too weak. If I had not sensed the abnormal spatial fluctuations before, I would have thought it was just a momentary illusion." Yang Qiu said solemnly, "The aura of the void cannot appear out of thin air. Combined with my previous experience near the wasteland, I suspect... there were one or more unstable space-time cracks that were trying to invade Indhal."


    The fat official Gu Men took a deep breath...


    The void invasion was one of the three terrifying shadows weighing over the continent!


    The invasion of void demons, caused by the appearance of unstable space-time rifts connected to the void, was a secondary disaster second only to the revival of the ancient gods!


    "I was planning to verify my guess. To avoid misunderstanding, I came here to report to the church." Yang Qiu nodded slightly. "Of course, it would be best if your church could investigate with me. After all, dealing with space-time rifts is not my strong point. Your Excellency the Bishop will be in charge of this matter."


    It would definitely cause a commotion if a dark magician like him was seen running around the city, especially now that his identity was semi-public.


    The official didn''t dare to make a decision on his own about such a serious matter, so he stood up quickly and said, "Please wait a moment, let me report this to Bishop Gene."


    Less than twenty minutes after the fat official made the call, Bishop Gene quickly appeared in front of Yang Qiu - considering the efficiency of church operations in this world, this was a very standard and decisive action.


    "Words are not enough. Bishop Gene, please come with me to check out the situation." Yang Qiu, who was getting impatient, didn''t have the mood to wait for the bishop to stand there in doubt, confusion, and shock, so he just pulled him away.


    The labor station set up by the City Hall to shelter and house the homeless was located in the bar district. There were not many bars on this street now, but there were quite a few new shops, all of which were affordable two-copper shops and high-end ten-copper shops - even the newly opened delicatessen sold at a standard of two to ten coppers. A plate of grilled tofu, fried potatoes, grilled vegetables, mixed cucumbers and other side dishes only cost two copper coins. It had now become the most popular delicatessen market after Mary Street Market.


    Bishop Lee Gene''s face changed as he walked through the main street that had been filled with all kinds of aromas since noon and arrived near the labor station.


    In this regard, Yang Qiu expressed calmness...


    Isn''t it just that after the carriage came nearby, it quietly "leaked" a trace of the breath of the void that only people with extremely high perception could detect? It''s a routine operation!


    On the weekends of Earth time, Exile Town is still filled with the smell of emptiness!


    Under the witness of Bishop Gene, Yang Qiu solemnly summoned the person in charge of the labor station for questioning, and talked with the workers entering and leaving the labor station, checking the workers'' activities.


    Next, Yang Qiu took Bishop Gene to visit several garbage disposal stations that the city hall had just planned - including the centralized incineration landfill site outside the city.


    The types of domestic waste produced by residents of Indhal were quite simple, consisting of very little kitchen waste, a relatively large amount of coal ash, and some broken pots and bowls that could not be used any more, and nothing else - the canned Earth foods sold in the delicatessen in the bar area would be reused by residents after the bottles and cans were used up, and not many people were willing to throw them away directly.


    Bishop Gene, who was pulled out of the city, was not surprised to sense the vague abnormal spatial fluctuations. Sweat flowed down his forehead and his expression became tense.


    This was also a routine operation - it''s true that Yang Qiu was not a space-based spellcaster, but he accidentally "bound" the space-time rift that the ancient god anchored him to! Creating some unstable space-time fluctuations was not a big deal!


    If a high-level spellcaster came, he might be able to see through Yang Qiu''s trick on the spot...but all the spellcasters ran away because of his arrival!


    Very convenient!


    Having shocked the top leaders of the local church with solid "evidence", Yang Qiu could now start his performance with confidence...


    Of course, it would not work to directly drag Bishop Gene to Viscount Darcy''s coal mine and say that there was an unstable space-time rift there. This would be too obvious - Yang Qiu considered himself a meticulous person, so he was willing to do the whole show.


    In this way, he dragged Bishop Gene around the city for most of the circle, releasing the spiritual field to sweep around indiscriminately; until the carriage approached the wilderness near Darcy''s coal mine, Yang Qiu secretly disrupted the normal spatial fluctuations and created a wave of heart-pounding spatial shocks.


    The shock wave was so obvious that the night watchman driving the carriage immediately stopped his horse and looked back at the carriage in horror.


    Inside the carriage through the glass windows, Bishop Gene and the dark magician Yang had identical expressions, both stunned and heavy-hearted.


    The two men got off the carriage, and Yang Qiu quietly released the breath of void, which was stronger than that in the city and could even be sensed by the night watchmen.


    As the night watchman showed fear, Bishop Gene''s face began to turn pale...


    "It seems to be nearby." Yang Qiu said solemnly, and looked around again, "Fortunately, there are not many houses around here..." After a pause, he said with great emphasis, "Bishop Gene, this place has a high potential danger. I think it is necessary to close it off as soon as possible."


    Bishop Gene looked extremely pale and nodded reluctantly.


    He did not want to lose his composure, but if the void invasion happened in his diocese. According to the rules of the church, he, the bishop of the diocese, would have to pay with his life!


    The tithe tax was not that easy to get!


    Yang Qiu naturally would not step out at this time, and stood steadily beside him: "Fortunately, we found it early, and the breath of the void was still very faint. Maybe... we can still make it in time."


    Bishop Gene''s face twitched, and after much hesitation, he still did not dare to take the risk. He just stood on the side of the road, took out the bishop''s scepter, prayed quietly for a moment, and borrowed the power of the Lady of Gold Coin to temporarily seal off the surrounding area.


    Next, Yang Qiu would have nothing to do for the time being... Let the Gold Coin Church fight wits and courage with the air, and then let the well-informed nobles know about this matter and that''s it.


    Viscount Darcy, who had just been severely angered by the Frank kid in the morning, was thinking about revenge, but he suddenly heard that there were signs of disaster outbreak near his own coal mine and a large area was sealed off by the church. He immediately felt unwell.


    "How can there be such a ridiculous thing!!"


    The old viscount was so angry that he smashed several exquisite enamel teacups in the study. Only then did he recover and called his butler and two sons to discuss countermeasures.


    The result of the discussion... there was no result.


    The word "disaster" was not just for fun.


    Now the Gold Coin Church had sealed off a large area near the coal mine, and even sent people to notify all hunting teams and teams going out of the city to farms and manors that they must avoid that place. They also specifically requested that Darcy''s coal mine be temporarily suspended to prevent the coal miners from bringing the ominous aura into the city - this was not something that could be covered up by just saying it''s a rumor!


    In desperation, Viscount Darcy could only try to recover the losses as much as possible: "We bought the coal mine from the City Hall 20 years ago. The contract signed at that time was for a hundred years of use rights, but now we don''t want this coal mine anymore. Ford, go notify the City Hall and ask for a return!"


    This unreasonable and unbelievable request made Butler Ford look stunned.


    Butler Ford, who always thought his master was much wiser than Gould''s master, kept sighing on the way to the City Hall...


    Naturally, the city hall refused to return the money.


    The nobles bought their private land from the former great lord Bartles family, and the money was paid to Bartles family. Now they are asking us for money for a coal mine that can no longer be mined. Who do you think is not well-informed?


    Thus, the two sides began a three-day long dispute...


    Finally, Viscount Darcy resorted to the ultimate weapon - he asked his most beautiful granddaughter to go to Charles Rex''s house to beg.


    Charles Rex, the illegitimate son who had never seen the world, was successfully moved by the most beautiful granddaughter of the Darcy family and agreed to buy back the coal mine and the undeveloped land at around 50% of the original price...


    Viscount Darcy, who had recovered some of his blood, shouted that it was a lucky day. Yang Qiu, who had been meditating peacefully in the city lord''s mansion for three days, packed up his things and headed for the forbidden wilderness.


    Three days of the Gold Coin Church''s battle of wits and courage with the air was almost over. It would be embarrassing to continue causing trouble for them... Well, the most important reason was that the workers in the coal mine who were forced to suspend work for three days had no savings, and if they did not resume work, they would have to go to the city to beg.


    Yang Qiu rode his undead horse to the place and saw two more tents with Night Watch badges hanging outside the nameless wilderness. There were also a few miserable Night Watchmen squatting in front of the tents and making a fire to keep warm...


    Feeling a little sympathetic for these night watchmen who had to sleep outdoors in such weather, Yang Qiu put away his undead horse and walked over.


    "Mr. Yang." Captain Clark saw Yang Qiu and saluted with a complicated expression.


    Yang Qiu said with a heavy face: "Captain Clark, have you found anything in the investigation over the past few days?"


    "...Not yet." Captain Clark''s expression became more complicated. He glanced at Yang Qiu dimly and said bitterly, "Bishop Gene is applying for the Holy Land''s approval to use the seal... I hope it will come in time."


    In a small place like Indhal, the diocesan bishop naturally does not have a seal.


    The only chance to obtain the Sealed Object was snatched away by the black magician in front of him. It would be strange if Captain Clark didn''t have complicated feelings.


    Yang Qiu sighed slightly, touched the space ring on his left hand, and took out an exquisite wooden box...


    If you''re acting, you have to do it fully.
