CHAPTER 339: CHAPTER 207: THE SUN AND SHADOWS_4

Kadela surely can’t stand Rowena taking the "treasure" that belonged to him.

"You tricked him?"

Lindong blinked, seeing this as akin to walking into a trap. She didn’t expect that even a believer of the God of Trickery could be deceived by Ethan. "You truly are a professional con artist!"

"Don’t make it sound so unpleasant!"

"It’s not unpleasant, it’s not unpleasant." Lindong beamed, "I just like your kind who aren’t too honest!"

Because she wasn’t honest either.

She had flipped through more than half of the forbidden books in the Mage Tower.

She finally found the best partner in sneaking around.

"I didn’t trick him; sincerity is the ultimate weapon."

Ethan said seriously.

He wouldn’t be arrogant enough to think that casually fabricating some lies would deceive a believer of the God of Trickery. Therefore, he changed his strategy, and everything he said on the witness stand was the truth.

Rowena indeed disappeared on the day of the chaos, but it was because she was lurking in the city district. Unfortunately, Prince Freeman couldn’t break through the encirclement in the end, and his Knight Order gave up resisting.

If anyone could truly deceive Kadela, it would have to be himself.

It all depended on whether he viewed Rowena as a genuinely harmless "little creature."

Next was Rowena.

It was clear that in Kadela’s mind, she had become the true mastermind.

Isn’t it said that peers are like enemies? Perhaps Kadela initially gained everything using these methods, so he would use the most malicious way to speculate about others.

According to the Crystal Ball’s clue, Ethan found Rowena, who was engrossed in a book.

"You’re here."

Rowena heard the sound behind her, looked back, and said, "I wasn’t the one who started it. I spoke kindly to him, and he told me to get out, so I had to offer him some magic bread."

But then...

This elderly Great Mage seemed to have some tooth issues, fainting after just "one bite."

Ethan and others discovered the "weapon."

An oversized magic bread was casually thrown beside the "corpse;" with Rowena’s recent training, she was advancing further on the path of a physical magician, and her arm strength had increased significantly.

The huge welt on the "corpse’s" head silently testified to Rowena’s misdeeds.

For the Great Mages who were accustomed to magical duels, this definitely was an unexpected blow. Before Rowena, no wizard would have ever used magic bread to whack someone.

Especially since this Great Mage seemed very old and feared sudden ambushes.

Ethan silently tried to make up for the Great Mage who was knocked down by Rowena in one round; it wasn’t really his fault, but Rowena’s methods were a bit underhanded.

"I investigated several Pure-blood Clan leaders, and they have no connection to the scholar’s death."

Rowena reported her investigative findings.

Along the way, she had done a lot of good deeds, seeing these Pure-blood Clan’s Great Mages becoming irritable due to lack of sleep, she gifted them a baby’s slumber.

"About this matter..."

Ethan said, "There’s no need to investigate anymore, the real culprit has been found."

"Who is it?"

"Kadela."

"Kadela!?"

Rowena shot up from her chair abruptly, and the blue flame in the magic lamp flickered wildly.

"This is rather complicated to explain; he should be arriving at the Mage Tower shortly."

"And then?"

"And then you will deal with him."

Both parties fell into silence simultaneously.

Rowena glanced at Ethan, then looked at the "corpse" on the ground and the magic bread beside it.

She had to confirm once again, "You’re saying, I deal with Kadela."

Fighting the God of Trickery, seriously?
