Chapter 226 226: No Regrets

At this point, Frankie's tone slightly shifted: "Of course, although it was announced publicly, the Pope has already placed Broca Kahn on a special assassination list.""The special assassination list is a list only accessible to Cardinals and higher-ranking officials, and anyone on it is definitely not an ordinary person."

"I don't know if the Kain you mentioned is this Broca Kahn, but of all the names I've heard with Kain in them, it's the only one."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka understood why Frankie burst into laughter.

Fang Ka also found it somewhat amusing.

Clearly, Broca Kahn's only focus was his quest for alchemical knowledge.

And this curiosity has already surpassed everything else.

If the Bright Church Country had nurtured him as a researcher in the field of alchemy, rather than forcibly training him to become the next Pope, it would have undoubtedly brought untold benefits to the Bright Church Country.

Moreover, Black Alchemy is not the same as Dark Magic; Black Alchemy is merely an alchemy practice not recognized by the public, and has no fundamental conflict with the Bright Church Country.

If things developed this way, they definitely wouldn't have forced Broca Kahn to the point of defecting.

Through Frankie's description, Fang Ka increasingly felt that this Broca Kahn might very well be the Kain who rescued him from the mass grave and adopted him.

Both share a common obsession with the Alchemy Domain.

Kain found him at the mass grave because he was collecting materials at the time.

It is known that every faction wishes to eliminate Necromancers as quickly as possible.

Yet Kain frequently wandered the Eastern and Western Continents for the purpose of gathering materials for alchemical experiments.

No matter how you look at it, the similarities between the two are extremely pronounced.

If that's the case, does it mean that Kain's severe injuries followed by his death were orchestrated by the Bright Church Country?

Judging by Frankie's words, Broca Kahn is undoubtedly the greatest disgrace to the Bright Church Country.

Their top officials would likely never forget.

Especially that Pope, who probably thinks about eliminating Broca Kahn every moment.

Actually, verifying this is simple: investigate whether there were any large-scale actions by the Bright Church Country's top officials during the time Kain got into trouble.

If there were, it would surely be the actions of the Bright Church Country, but unfortunately, Frankie had already defected from the Bright Church long ago, so he obviously wouldn't know of any actions taken by the Bright Church Country during Kain's troubled time.

One wonders if in the future, information about these events might be obtained from the information exchange on the Ten Mother Islands.

After thinking for a bit, Fang Ka continued to ask Frankie: "When you fled from the Bright Church Country into the Chaotic Sea Domain, you must have hurried from the far west to the archipelago over there, right?"

"What was the situation you saw along the way, can you tell me?"

Frankie paused at the question, then nodded: "There's no issue with that, but my defection happened decades ago."

"With so many changes over the years, what I say can only serve as a reference."

"But one thing worth mentioning is that I've been settled on the island in the west until now without any disturbance or threat."

Fang Ka smiled: "That seems normal, right? Both the far west and the far east are battle lines for the Sea Race, with the north adjacent to the Gana Race's territory, and situated at the very edge of the Chaotic Sea Domain..."

"Those who come around here probably don't want trouble, or temporarily don't want trouble, right?"

Frankie chuckled: "Indeed, it seems you are the latter, now beginning to stir up trouble."

Fang Ka raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing, simply looked at Frankie, signaling him to start telling his story.

Seeing this, Frankie ceased his idle chatter and started to recount in detail his experiences after defecting from the Bright Church Country.

After Frankie's narration, Fang Ka couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He hadn't expected that Frankie had a friend who defected with him previously.

Even more unexpectedly, the friend broke into the Magic Array that Kain set up on Kain Island.

Nearly sure that the friend had become one of Kain's unknown experimental subjects.

Fang Ka didn't mention this to Frankie; instead, after asking for more intelligence from Frankie, he nodded to him: "Very well, don't worry, the Bright Church Country likely killed someone important to me, and in the future, I will settle this score."

Frankie narrowed his eyes: "Kain?"

Seeing Fang Ka didn't answer, Frankie chuckled: "Good, I look forward to that day. If possible, could you turn my corpse into an undead, even if I can't witness that day."

"I hope my corpse can."

Fang Ka nodded: "I can promise you that."

He intended to use Frankie's corpse as a reserve for the players, so naturally, it would be for the players' future use.

Upon hearing Fang Ka's response, Frankie nodded contentedly and then licked his lips: "I want to taste a fruit one last time, do you have any?"

Fang Ka stood and walked into the Ancient Castle, coming out with a shape like an apple, golden on the outside.

This was cultivated on the island by Kain before he died; he didn't know the variety, but it was quite tasty.

Fang Ka tossed the fruit to Wangzai Little Buns, who instinctively caught it.

She froze for a moment, wondering if this was a reward from Mage Fang Ka for her?

She was just about to say thank you when Fang Ka continued: "Give this fruit to him to eat."

Wangzai Little Buns froze again, then lowered her head, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

But ultimately said nothing, handing the fruit in her hand reluctantly to Frankie while gripping his neck harder with her other hand.

Frankie grimaced in pain. He hadn't disrespected Fang Ka, had he? Why would she sneak a trick while handing a fruit?

Indeed, undead creatures cannot be reasoned with.

Reaching out to take the fruit, Frankie began eating happily: "Ah, satisfied, it's a variety I've never tasted before. Good, good, no regrets now."

After eating, Frankie licked his lips with some relish and then closed his eyes, his face showing a serene smile.

Seeing Frankie's peaceful readiness for death, Fang Ka gestured to Wangzai Little Buns with his hand and then slowly spoke: "Little Mantou, give him a swift end."

Upon Fang Ka's order, the already-displeased Wangzai Little Buns immediately used her fingers to snap Frankie's neck in an instant.
