I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

```

"There’s nothing strange about these villagers’ houses."

"Another Silver Level guard has been added? Does Baron Tony possess such strength now?"

"...Eye-burning, it’s not even dark yet!"

Lis investigated but found nothing and did not perceive any information from the familiar followers of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.

However, he hadn’t expected that Baron Tony would be at home doing bad things with a maid. He observed critically, watching the round, chubby lord suddenly collapse, and shook his head in disapproval.

What a noob!

Just now, Lis had completed a full inspection of the small town in front of him and did not find any clues.

There was no other choice!

Lis naturally wouldn’t just go back like that, and in a flash, he headed towards Baron Tony’s castle.

It’s better to ask the person directly!

As for finding clues about the All Beast Church, Lis had no mental burden; let alone being a duke by now, even without a title, he would not be concerned with such matters.

...

In the central bedroom of the castle,

The pale yellow curtains were drawn, and the room was somewhat dim,

"Lord Tony..."

A small, soft voice came from the bed, and the delicate little hand patted the mass of flesh that completely covered her. @@novelbin@@

"Lilin, how was it this time?"

The fat Baron Tony struggled to turn over, lying on the thin blanket beside him, his forehead glistening with sweat.

"You were truly amazing, I almost passed out!"

Feeling the ’mountain’ on her finally move away, the maid Lilin gasped for air; though inwardly disdainful, she still spoke in a sugary voice.

"Haha, I’ve lost a lot of weight recently, I feel much lighter!"

Baron Tony slapped his belly proudly, making a slapping sound.

Though he was usually stern with his subordinates and tenants, maintaining the dignity of his lordship, in bed he was willing to speak sweet nothings to the little maid in his arms.

Lilin struggled to get up, her limbs weak but managing to put on her black and white maid’s uniform and walked slowly to the window to draw the curtains.

A cool breeze blew in, somewhat dispersing the stuffiness in the room.

Lilin was quite favored by Baron Tony, but she knew in her heart that she could only rely on her master, so she never threw tantrums or asked for anything more, devotedly serving Baron Tony.

She was about to help her master get dressed, which was the usual time for Baron Tony’s inspection of the vineyard and tenant labor.

"Lilin, you may leave,"

Baron Tony’s indifferent voice came from behind. Lilin trembled, glanced back at the lord on the bed.

Noticing nothing amiss, Lilin left quietly, carefully closing the door after her.

Only after the maid left did Lis’s figure appear in the room.

And there stood Baron Tony, rising slowly from the bed, standing naked before Lis.

Confusion Control System Spell [Human Charm]!

Baron Tony was just an ordinary noble, not even an Extraordinary Professional, so naturally, he had no power to resist Lis’s spell.

Lis, somewhat disgusted, had Baron Tony put on his underwear before asking him:

"Are you Baron Tony?"

"Yes, my lord."

Baron Tony stood in front of Lis, his eyes devoid of light, his tone quite stiff.

After confirming his identity and that there was no switch, Lis nodded and asked:

"Last year, was there a Moon Spirit Leopard in your territory that attacked your land?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Tell me the details."

"Last year, a Moon Spirit Leopard attacked my territory, and my guards were no match for it. I hired a mercenary squad called the Yaya Mercenary Group from Bright City Mercenary Guild,"

"Although I didn’t see the corpse of the Moon Spirit Leopard, after the attack stopped, it must have been dealt with."

Listening to Baron Tony’s account, Lis frowned slightly, then asked:

"Do you know where that Moon Spirit Leopard came from?"

"I do."

Upon hearing Baron Tony’s affirmative reply, Lis’s eyes lit up.

There was definitely a problem!

"Tell me the source of that Moon Spirit Leopard!"

"It was a Magic Beast temporarily guarded by Count Pitry’s men in my territory, for about two months before the incident."

"It was something Count Pitry had me do. At first, I was unaware of what those people were doing until the Moon Spirit Leopard escaped, and only then did I realize they had actually placed a group of dangerous Magic Beasts on my territory."

Even under Lis’s mind control, Count Tony’s face still showed a trace of fear and trepidation.

"After dealing with the Moon Spirit Leopard, those people left my territory."

"After that, no similar incidents occurred, and Count Pitry gave me a large sum of Gold Coins to keep my mouth shut."

So you were able to hire more Silver Level Professionals as your guards? But that doesn’t mean much to me.

As for that Count Pitry...

Lis stroked his chin. There seemed to be a Court Earl named Kob Pitri in Bright City, but Lis had no particular recollection of this person.

If he was the mastermind of this incident, it was very possible that he was related to the All Beast Church.

Lis remembered that during the Blood Sacrifice Chaos, not many nobles were involved, and it now seemed that the remnants of the All Beast Church had not been completely dealt with at the time!
