Zhu Meng submitted a request to Shao Zheng quickly.
Everything would be a lot easier with Shao Zheng on their side. He could approve any requests right away with just a quick notice.
Normally, it would take at least a meeting to get some approval, since they were requesting the use of some undercover Field Enforcers.
They would have wasted a lot of time if they had to wait until the Councilmen were done with a meeting. Time was of the essence when it came to dealing with the Black Vatican. Any trails leading to the Black Vatican would be gone far too quickly!
“Mo Fan, you have a green light to proceed with your plan. The Field Enforcers will aid you,” Zhu Meng called back.
“Great, but you should come over as soon as possible too. I heard the Field Enforcers are proud and arrogant,” Mo Fan requested.
“Not a problem!”
——
Mo Fan stood guard outside the church to prevent anyone from destroying the evidence.
At dusk, he saw a dark red sports car heading his way along the abandoned road. It was approaching him like a scorching meteorite.
Mo Fan was startled. He was not sure who the person was.
The person was unlikely to be a thrill-seeker with a wealthy background. The road was in very bad condition. It was the last place for a race.
The magic-imbued sports car was still approaching Mo Fan. The material of its exterior was different from the normal vehicles he saw in cities.
Dried branches, fallen leaves, and stones were swept off to the sides as the car’s bullet-shaped front went right at Mo Fan, before sliding to a stop in front of the church after a dazzling drift maneuver.
The car’s door rose automatically. Mo Fan frowned. He didn’t understand the meaning behind the showy entry.

An attractive woman with curly hair came out of the car. Mo Fan caught a glimpse of a colorful sight the moment she reached her legs out.
“It’s you!” Mo Fan was surprised. He stared at the woman he had met not long ago.
The woman smiled. She passed the name card between her fingers to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan saw a golden flame burst out of the card before he took it. The flame rose into the air and took the shape of the Enforcement Union’s logo!
Mo Fan thought she was Salan’s henchman, who had come to destroy the church. He did not expect her to be a member of the Enforcement Union.
“I’m Winnie, a Field Enforcer of the Enforcement Union. I believe we met at the cafe along the sandy white beach. The truth is, I was approaching you on purpose back then.” Winnie combed back her hair.
She was the woman who had been enjoying a sunbath in front of Mo Fan, the same woman with two legal husbands. She had driven all the way here in her dark red sports car.
“What a surprise, I thought there were only Chinese in the Enforcement Union,” Mo Fan remarked.
The Field Enforcers were an important asset of the Enforcement Union. Their roles were equivalent to the Royal Guards in China. Some might even refer to them as the Holy Court Mages of China.
The Field Enforcers were the elite of the Enforcement Union, as they mainly pursued dangerous criminals who had fled to foreign countries.
Many Field Enforcers were working undercover. They would only reveal their identities if required by a mission.
“My grandfather is Chinese. We’ll discuss it next time. I was assigned to Banlo City and the Aorus Sacred Institute a long time ago. I’ve been collecting information on Salan’s whereabouts with the help of someone called Wolf Chief. I didn’t expect you to find her first,” Winnie admitted to him.

“Is someone else coming too? We won’t be able to take out all the remnants if it’s only you,” Mo Fan looked back down the road to see if a fleet of sports cars was following her.
“I’m more of a lone wolf. I communicate with the Councilman directly. The rest of the Field Enforcers are on their way.” Winnie studied the inside of the church carefully as they walked inside.
“Then I guess you can take care of the evidence here. I must leave for the Tenth Mound right away,” Mo Fan told her.
He had yet to receive any updates from Zhao Manyan and Mu Bai. He was a little worried they might fall into a trap, knowing how cunning Blue Bat was.
“That’s fine, but aren’t we supposed to work with you?” Winnie asked him.
“One of Salan’s disciples, Blue Bat, is at the Tenth Mound. We have to seal off their escape routes if we want to catch her and all of her men,” Mo Fan replied.
“The Tenth Mound is located deep inside the Andes Mountains. If they are determined to run away, we won’t be able to seal off the whole area, even if we sent the whole Enforcement Union here. You should focus on the important clues we currently have. It’s better to exchange information and see if we can track down the high-rank members of the Black Vatican. From what I’ve learned, Blue Bat isn’t the only person in charge of the operation here,” Winnie said.
Winnie knew who Blue Bat was. She also knew the Evil Herbalist’s whereabouts.
Mo Fan fell into deep thought. It was true that heading to the Tenth Mound now was not going to make a difference.
He was currently in Banlo City, a long distance from the Tenth Mound. It would take him half a day just to reach the Tenth Mound, without a Teleportation Portal to shorten the trip.
He could only hope Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan were able to handle Blue Bat on their own!
Mo Fan gave up on the thought of heading to the Tenth Mound. He gave the files he had found in the church to Winnie.
“Is this everything?” Winnie asked. She felt there should be a lot more evidence in the church.
“Yeah, the old man has destroyed some of them… Aren’t we going to exchange information? Where’s yours?” Mo Fan said.
Winnie rolled her eyes at Mo Fan, feeling he was being overly cautious. She flipped her hand and took out a seemingly ordinary book from her Space Bracelet.
“This is the information I have gathered,” Winnie told him. They each handed the information they had found to one another.
The list Mo Fan had obtained in the church was quite long, and he had only skimmed through it.
Ferreting out the members of the Black Vatican who had infiltrated different industries and companies was like looking for vermin in a huge orchard. It was difficult to track them down without their names, occupation, and who their superiors or subordinates were.
The information Winnie was browsing through included the remnants in Mo Fan’s homeland and some members of the Black Vatican in South America.
The remnants were mostly spies, with important roles in government.
The members in South America were most likely involved in the operation that was meant to take out the Aorus Sacred Institute.
There were roughly a thousand names on the list. Most of them were unexposed members of the Black Vatican.
Winnie flipped through the pages quickly.
“Did you take photos of these files as backup?” Winnie asked. She was taking pictures of the files with her phone so she would not lose such an important clue.
“No, I was guarding the church here.. I didn’t have the time,” Mo Fan answered.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

Wet world wonderland.
A young girl of 16 years dies by drowning, and is reincarnated as a living Puddle of Water.Through many fantastical fun filled and wacky adventures our Protagonist will lead a better life than her last.Thank you for your time. Something I want to add, is that this story is written in first person, and I plan to carry on with it for a LONG time.-(Maybe thousands of chapters in size, until the story literally runs out of any potential to keep going.) So yes, there's still a lot of mystery and build up I have planned for future adventures. Wet World Wonderland is a story primarily concerned with the depth and complexity of its world and characters. So forgive me if something seems off, or isn't made immediately clear. I would love to talk, but try and consider that I might have something planned.(Not that you can't still criticize, of course. If you've got an opinion on something, I'd love to hear it.) If you plan on rating WWW, please read until chapter 20. WWW isn't the kind of story you can start judging from the first five chapters. Although, I admit I'm not so sure if 20 chapters in is good enough to judge it either, but I would still advise reading to at least that point. Also, if you have a problem with something in the story, please PM me, and I would love to talk about it. As of 1/19/2021 I have just added WWW's (Wet World Wonderland's) New Cover-Art. I know it's a bit weird, and probably sudden. And with all things considered, it may never make sense. But canonically with lore and info that has, or will be revealed in coming chapters, you might be able to put something together. Anyways, I hope you like it. Also, new symbol, at the top left of the image, hope you all like that too.As of 5/16/2022 the revised cover art for WWW has been uploaded, same as before with the first cover art. I hope you like it. Cover Art Credit goes to Itreallyisyaboi. They're on Instragram.

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
