Mage Manual-Chapter 586 - 475 The Root of All Evil_2

"Evaluation: Sin Is Clear"

"Sinner: Anfeier Belladett"

"Anfeier Belladett receives the reward ’Rusted Crow’s Gold Feather.’"

...

"Villain List 6th place: Bird in a Cage"

"Charge: Yvalin Belladett once considered locking Hanna and Ash in the basement to keep them as her playthings, but ultimately failed, watching helplessly as they escaped from Mongfera."

"Evaluation: Uncondemned Sin"

"Sinner: Yvalin Belladett"

"Yvalin Belladett receives the reward ’Ghost Unseen Veil.’"

Upon seeing the listed parties above, Ash and others guessed that the Belladett sisters would definitely make the list, but they never expected the reasons to be so bizarre—Anfeier was on the list for not being able to marry Igula, and Yvalin was listed for failing to turn Ash and Hanna into slaves!

Anfeier might be excused, but Yvalin’s dominion was undoubtedly a violation of human rights! Yvalin had ensnared millions in Mongfera with her control, and the Gospel had not condemned her; yet when she failed to control Ash and Hanna, the Gospel felt her sin was uncondemnable!

"Rusted Crow’s Gold Feather..." Ash was somewhat puzzled, "But when I bathed, I didn’t see any wings on Igula, could it be referring to the feathers of the Void Wings?"

"A Legendary Miracle of the Spirit Faction," said Igula calmly, "Mixing the faction realm with the feathers of the Void Wings, as long as someone successfully absorbs this feather, they can directly obtain the corresponding faction realm—a miracle near Wonder, and extremely harmful to the mage himself. Normal Spirit Mages would never create such feathers."

"But since it’s called the Rusted Crow’s Gold Feather, it suggests that in the world line where you and Anfeier flew together, the Gospel believes you would create such a feather, right?"

The Swindler fell silent for a moment, "Anfeier is the ’container’ for Mongfera’s million people’s spiritual power. Tormented by chaotic spiritual forces, she lacks the focus to study any Magic Faction, doomed never to become a Mage."

"So, Rusted Crow gave her a Gold Feather to help Anfeier become a Mage?" Ash chuckled, "Rusted Crow giving the Gold Feather to the Golden Canary... Sometimes the Gospel isn’t all bad news."

"To me, it’s bad news," the Swindler lowered his eyelids, "I don’t want to become someone who’s kind to others."

"That’s because you haven’t met better people yet," Ash blinked, "There’s always someone who will make you let go of all resentments and reconcile with the past. Trust me, you’ll definitely meet such a person, maybe you already have—after the Weaving Festival ends, if you’re too shy to go to the Belladetts, we can all accompany you."

Facing the Cult Leader’s intense gaze, the Swindler suddenly chuckled and said casually, "I’ll consider it."

"Then it’s agreed!" Ash looked back at the Gospel Book, "What about this Ghost Unseen Veil..."

"A Legendary Miracle of the Necromancy Faction, the most Mysterious inheritance of Hagen Dazs," Harvey explained, "It’s said that Ghost Unseen can make all necromancy ignore oneself. In certain realms of the Necromancy Abyss, Necromancers can act with impunity thanks to this Wonder."

"This reward might help Yvalin escape the death curse," Hanna suddenly said, "Now we all know, the likelihood of the Belladett Family Head living past 40 has to do with their ancestor they want to resurrect. With the Ghost Unseen Veil, the Angel of Death cannot influence them through their bloodline."

"Ah?"

At that moment, Igula let out a strange sound and after a moment said, "Yvalin just sent me the knowledge of the other Dominion Faction as well."

"The Bird in a Cage isn’t usually so generous." Hanna said dispassionately, "You’ll have to properly thank the Golden Canary later."

The "Villain List" was updated with the 5th and 4th places, respectively Mercury and Holy Sanctuary Mage Kaisrael, naturally charged for their failure to capture Ash and the others. As for why their rank was higher than Yvalin’s, it was probably because their abilities were greater, and so their burden of blame.

When the 3rd place was announced, even though everyone had been expecting it, they couldn’t help but hold their breaths.

"Villain List 3rd place: Ghost King"

"Charge: Archibald Harvey, hailing from an Exotic Realm and known as the Corpse Lover, participated in the blasphemous gospel plan with Ash and others, one of the roots of chaos."

"Evaluation: Sin Tower to Heaven"

"Sinner: Archibald Harvey"

"Archibald Harvey receives the reward ’Cursed Ghost King Seven-colored Tail Feather.’"

...

"Villain List 2nd place: Rusted Crow"

"Charge: Igula Bokin, coming from an Exotic Realm and known as the Swindler, participated in the blasphemous gospel plan with Ash and others, one of the roots of chaos."

"Evaluation: Worthy of Death Innumerable Times"

"Sinner: Igula Bokin"

"Igula Bokin has been awarded the ’Cursed Rusted Crow Seven-colored Tail Feather’."

He made the list!

Igula and Harvey had made the list once again!

Ash couldn’t help but take a stealthy glance at Hanna—to be honest, at this point, Igula and Harvey couldn’t care less about having a bit more shit on them, saying they stank for ages would be a compliment. But the problem was if they made the list again, their ranking weight in the Divine Lord’s Sequence would directly surpass Hanna’s!

Now Igula is the first on the Deceit List and second on the Villain List,

Harvey is the first on the Family List and third on the Villain List,

Hanna only ranks first on the Art List and tenth on the Deceit List.

Purple Moth’s priority in acquiring the Divine Lord’s wishes is already lower than the two of them!

However, despite this, the young miss remained calm as she looked at the Gospel Book. Noticing Ash’s gaze, she smiled and took his hand, "It’s almost your turn, don’t be nervous."

With that said by Hanna, Ash couldn’t help but become nervous, feeling apprehensive yet slightly anticipative as he awaited his first listing.

From the moment the title of the list was seen, no one doubted the candidate for first place. Now that Igula and Harvey were on it, could Ash really escape?

Indeed, he could.

"First on the Villain List: Purple Moth"

"Offense: Hanna Doran, head of the Funeral Service Office, controlled Ash and others through a contract to carry out the blasphemous Gospel plan, the root of all evil in the Kingdom of Gospel."

"Assessment: Evil to the core"

"Sinner: Hanna Doran"

"Hanna Doran has received an award..."

Suddenly, the text on the pages began to distort, shadow and light flickering with red.

Ash’s pupils shrunk suddenly; he had seen this happen too many times in the past few days. When an anomaly appeared in the Gospel Book, it meant—

Splurt.

Along with the noise of the blade drawing blood, the image showed Hanna lying in a pool of blood, her eyes blankly staring at the ceiling. Her murderer wore a familiar dark red coat, and when he turned to face the camera, the stranger’s indifferent gaze sent a bone-chilling coldness through the viewers.

"First on the Villain List: Purple Moth"

"Offense: Hanna Doran, head of the Funeral Service Office, controlled Ash and others through a contract to carry out the blasphemous Gospel plan, the root of all evil in the Kingdom of Gospel, but this ranking is invalidated due to interference by Ash Heath."

"Assessment: Evil to the core"

"Sinner: Hanna Doran"

"Award: Voided."

"Principal Villain: Ash Heath."

After a brief silence, cheers almost lifted the roof of the restaurant.

"Hooray, the root of all evil recognized by the Gospel is about to die soon! Her ranking has been invalidated!"

"If the root of all evil is dead, doesn’t that mean all future actions are void?"

"Yeah, what about the Ghost King and Rusted Crow? Why hasn’t Ash Heath killed them?"

"Go Ash, big brother!"

Amidst the revelry and toasts, Hanna looked at Ash and whispered with a smile, "It seems, tonight, I really will have to share a bed with you, you must protect me well."

Her hand was slightly trembling.
