This Holy Knight is So Despicable!-Chapter 15: The Insidious and Vicious Open Conspiracy

"Exhibition hall?"

When the wolf leader Aldoven heard the report from his subordinate, he was completely stunned.

"What exhibition hall?"

"It's said to be organized by the people in that luxurious carriage from yesterday, displaying a large amount of dark relics recently recovered by the Judgement Court.

Originally, the plan was to hold an exhibition in the Holy City during the Holy Presence Ceremony.

To rehearse in advance, they held something here called a... Oh! A premiere! This is the list of exhibits they issued."

The wolf leader glanced at the list and almost passed out.

There are over a dozen exhibits, each one of significant weight. Any single one of them would be considered a Zenith Star level holy relic among the Dark Race.

Now, they're all exhibits, on public display for everyone to see.

"Arrogant! This is just too arrogant!"

The wolf leader slammed the brochure on the table in anger: "What an insult! We..."

"Boss, calm down a bit."

A scrawny man beside him stopped the wolf leader from losing his temper, fiddling with his beard: "Don't forget, one of our brothers was exposed yesterday.

If they know we're around and still openly hold an exhibition here."

"Right! This is blatant provocation! We cannot let it go unanswered."

"But I feel this might be a trap."

The scrawny man squinted slightly: "What if they just want to lure us out and then catch us all at once? Besides, this exhibition might not even be real.

With so many legendary holy relics, they might not have them at all. Maybe, they're just making it up?"

However, the underling who just reported disagreed: "But this time, there's a Black Knight escorting! When has a disciplinary black knight ever escorted a carriage? Isn't it always a prison carriage?!

So, there's still a possibility.

Boss, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are we just going to ignore it?

We, the Werewolf Clan, cannot be cannon fodder forever!"

The wolf leader had calmed down by now, but as the heat of his anger subsided, it was replaced by greed.

"If it's real, even if just one item is genuine! We'd hit the jackpot! If we seize it, the Werewolf Clan could freely rise to power and no longer be overshadowed by those damned bats!"

Seeing that the wolf leader and everyone else felt the same, the scrawny man sighed.

"Then in that case, we might as well go have a look. If there really is something worth the effort, we can plan carefully then."

"Fine! We'll split up and go in! Remember, no matter what happens, don't expose yourselves. We'll discuss further after we gather information!"

"Understood!"

After finalizing the strategy, they were left with boring waiting. Time ticked by slowly as the wolf leader kept scrutinizing that list of exhibits.

Finally, just as he was about to burn a hole in the list with his glare, news came in from outside — the exhibition had opened!

While the werewolves were excited, they still followed the wolf leader's instructions, blending into the crowd and entering in batches.

The wolf leader moved alone, slipping behind a group of merchants and entering the extremely rudimentary exhibition hall.

He approached the first display stand with excitement, then a surge of fury rushed straight to his head!

The Black Gold Tears Sword, revered as the supreme holy relic by the Dark Race, was right there on display, surrounded by a strong protective barrier.

However, it was sheathed in a plain Holy Light Longsword scabbard. Next to it was a placard introducing this exhibit.

[Exhibit: Black Gold Tears Sword

Exhibit Information: The sword of the third generation Dark Race Monarch, forged from Black Gold Crystal Stone from the Demon Mountain and the spine of a Skeleton Dragon Beast King.

The blade carries a lethal curse, where blood drawn means death. Additionally, it absorbs the flesh and spiritual energy of enemies, returning it to its wielder.

The third generation Dark King used this sinful artifact to successfully murder his father, ascend to the throne, and commit numerous atrocities.

It has now been redeemed by the grace of the Holy Light Goddess, feeling deeply guilty and regretful, striving to become a holy artifact that aids the world.

The Holy Light Church, recognizing its sincerity, specially awarded it an Initial Light Glow Sword Scabbard as encouragement.]

The wolf leader almost spat out blood in rage; these Holy Light Church scoundrels were utterly shameless!

Bully the Blood Tears Sword just because it can't speak, spinning lies here!

What does 'deeply regretful of its sins,' 'redeemed by the goddess,' 'dedicated to good deeds' even mean?

And it was awarded a Light Glow Sword Scabbard, as if that's some great honor.

That's nothing but a standard issue piece for Apprentice Priests, just half of one!

There's no need to insult like this! Even a sword has its limits!

The key issue is that while he knew this was the Holy Light Church exaggerating their accomplishments, deliberately belittling in fabrication.

The ordinary pilgrims actually believed it, marveling while praising the greatness of Holy Light and the immense divine power of the Holy Light Goddess.

Many were even moved to tears, feeling gratified that this sinful artifact had found redemption through its efforts.

This is absurd! Absolutely insulting! Infuriating!

With gritted teeth, he moved to the next exhibit, almost dying in anger again.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

The Book of Evil was wrapped in a cover, using the title page of the Holy Light Scripture.

The Desecration of the Mother Goddess Medal was embedded in a larger Primary Holy Flame Emblem.

Gaiertos' Crystal Skull had a cute Apprentice Saint Child's small hat on it.

...

One thing after another, even if it wasn't intricately made, and often very crudely done, it truly angered the Dark Race.

The nature of it was akin to seeing one's boastingly glorified elite troops, only to have the regimental flag taken to steam buns.

Highlighting a minimal attack yet maximum insult factor!

Although the werewolves knew the exhibit descriptions were nonsense! But even absurdity is intolerable!

The styling of the exhibits was deliberately arranged this way, yet it was enough to make one's blood surge!

The surrounding pilgrims frequently gasping in awe, voicing admiration and commendation of satisfaction, made it all the more unbearable!

Standing at a high point in the exhibition hall, the Knight Captain overlooked the entire scene, frequently glancing covertly at Lette beside him.

When he first heard about this plan, it made his scalp tingle. Now, seeing the effect, it made him feel cold all over.

He was convinced that any member of the Dark Race seeing this exhibition would surely attack.

Even if suicidal, they would want to destroy this exhibition.

Intolerable, absolutely intolerable.

Even if it were not about the Dark Race, any normal noble upon seeing their ancestors' proud artifacts treated like this, would be livid and sworn to vengeance.

This was an open strategy! Insidiously vicious, yet outright and clear!

The Knight Captain tried putting himself in their shoes: if the Holy Light Church's holy artifacts and relics were displayed by the Dark Race like this.

He would wish to tear the organizers to shreds! Grind their bones to dust! Killing them a thousand times wouldn't suffice!

Desecration! This is blatant desecration! And the method of desecration was so blatantly crude, making it unforgivable!

No wonder this malicious idea was conceived by Lord Wright with the infamous reputation of the Holy Sin!

Lette clapped the railing, then turned and left.

"Alright, the gauntlet has been thrown. By tonight, these guys will surely attack.

Go back and properly prepare. There's definitely a big fish behind them."
