Chapter 143: Weapon Preparation

'Given the existing Curse of the Purple Umbala, it won't be easy for the Inquisitor's punitive force to exterminate the remnant members of the Assembly of Silent Night in the Red Goblin Mountains. The Inquisitor will ask Lord Helia for help.'

Although Vaan wasn't sure what abilities the Assembly of Silent Night had, if their members could take out a Rank 3 Dark Hellhound with just a group tasked to assassinate a True Witch, then they should have quite capable members in their dark organization.

'Lord Helia wouldn't just use her troops; she'll most likely recruit witches and aura users from the city when the Inquisitor intends to attack the mountain. Given my special status, Lord Helia wouldn't let me join even if I wanted to,' Vaan mused.

In that case, Vaan only had one option: use a different identity to join the punitive expedition force to Red Goblin Mountains.
