Chapter 428: Mermaid, Kiss and the Moon

"Although this matter has ended, I do not believe that the failure of the Crimson Cult was due to inadequate preparation," Shard suddenly said.

"What was it due to, then?"

The witch, continuing with her meal, asked.

"They chose the wrong time. Had it not been during Daknis's stay at Coldwater Port, had it not been after the Godfall event at Tobesk, the Church and the Academy surely would not have committed such tremendous forces to deal with them," Shard answered, his dinner knife separating the fish flesh from its skeleton on the plate.

The witch pondered for a moment:

"But regardless, this time, just like in Tobesk, it is the Church, the face of righteousness, that has triumphed... And that God Summoner, she now has the qualifications to become a legendary figure in stories centuries from now... She might even be printed on Roder Cards."

More than worrying about his reputation, Shard looked forward to the possibility of becoming one of the faces on the Roder Cards.
