Evil God? My servants are players!

Sasha entered the Adventurers' Hall and scanned the surrounding adventurers, selecting her 'prey'.

She then targeted a group of adventurers, the reorganized Razor Squad.

As the strongest adventurer party in Hamlet Town, they should know something.

Sasha squeezed in and got straight to the point:

"Hello, I'm new here. What's going on in this town?"

Seeing that no one was willing to talk to her, Sasha pushed out a few more gold coins.

"Oh, right, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Also, why is the whole city under martial law?"

Sasha looked pained, as these gold coins were the team's meager savings.

For the sake of the gold coins, the Razor Squad didn't neglect Sasha.

The archer in his forties from the Razor Squad picked up a gold coin and put it in his pocket.

"The lord says there's a plague outbreak, but I have a feeling it's the old lord stirring up trouble again."

Another member of the Razor Squad picked up a gold coin.

"Indeed, the old lord has a criminal record. He had dealings with the necromancer sect before and even held a 'ritual'."

The gold coins were quickly divided up by the members of the Razor Shields, who then began to recount Hamlet's past.

"If Lady Veronica hadn't stopped him, Hamlet Town might have been turned into a land of the dead."

"It was because of that incident that Lady Veronica took over Hamlet Town, and everyone's lives improved a little."

"Yes, looking back, the situation is exactly the same as it was back then. First, martial law was declared, and then the dead started wandering around!"

"Unfortunately, it's said that Lady Veronica has been summoned by the church, and this time no one can stop her."

As native Hamlet people, the members of the Razor Shields adventure team knew a great deal about Hamlet.

"You all knew that the Earl of Hamlet was planning something, so why didn't you join in the rebellion?" Sasha asked, puzzled.

In response to Sasha's question, the Razor Squad soldiers said emotionally:

"Resist? Why do you think adventurers were forced into dungeons?"

"We sensed something was wrong when that old bastard sealed off the city. A few of us veteran adventurers rallied together and led everyone in a rebellion."

"We started inciting other adventurers to join us in storming the city gates, trying to escape."

As the 'elderly' warrior of the Razor Adventurers finished speaking, he picked up his glass and took a swig of wine.

Then, the 40-year-old shooter pointed at everyone present and continued:

"As you can see, everyone's gathered here again, drinking their sorrows away."

His tone was filled with despair.

"Damn it! There were rumors about vampires appearing again just two days ago! And they were able to walk away so easily back then!"

The soldier who emptied his glass simply threw it aside.

Although the Razor Squad said a lot, Sasha didn't get any of the information she wanted.

The only slightly useful piece of information was Veronica's existence, but the paladin was now far away and unlikely to be of much help.

Just then, the Razor Squad priest, who hadn't spoken or taken any gold coins, suddenly spoke up.

"Heh heh heh, still taking gold coins? Just wait to die! Even the bishop of the Holy Light Church has been replaced. This time is different from last time!"

This immediately piqued Sasha's interest.

"What did you say? Do you even know what a bishop is?!" Sasha pressed.

Sasha's words resonated deeply with the priest, who freely expressed his emotions: "Of course! The bishop changed not long ago! He became completely different from usual! I suspect that the bishop has been killed by that damned nobleman!"

"The current bishop is just a ghost in his skin! But nobody wants to believe me!"

"Hamlet Town is completely finished. Even the bishop has been replaced by the undead. Heh heh heh."

"The only hope, the Frost Adventurers, is also missing. They've probably been secretly executed, hehehe."

Faced with the pastor's "crazy talk," the other team members neither refuted nor affirmed it.

Everyone fell silent again; the soldier continued drinking in silence, and the archer continued wiping his arrows.

It was as if only in this way could my restless heart be calmed down.

But the previous conversation had made Sasha realize that the adventurers might be a potential target, since everyone was preparing to overthrow the lord's conspiracy.

So Sasha organized her thoughts and began to speak:

"I might know something about this."

"The bishop has indeed been replaced. As far as I know, the last time the Frost Adventurers appeared was at the Church of Holy Light."

"However, I heard that the Frost Adventurers hid in the dungeon and were not caught by the guards."

"This time, the count doesn't seem to have any connection with the undead. He must have found something from the anomalies in the dungeon."

"They're now preparing to use that thing to perform an evil ritual."

"We still have a chance to stop him!"

"How can we stop it? The adventurers and the Adventurers' Guild are completely finished. We have no more bargaining chips left."

The 40-year-old archer placed the cleaned arrowheads on the table and continued:

"All the large organizations are avoiding the topic, as if nothing happened in the town. I guess they were all replaced, just like the bishop."

"That damned old lord! He usually looks like a good-for-nothing, but he turns out so ruthless at times like this. It was the same last time!"

"We can only wait and see what tricks that old lord will pull this time, and see if we can use this opportunity to escape from here."

"I can't stand being in this Hamlet anymore."

The archer's words resonated with everyone, and the members of the Razor Squad all nodded in silent agreement.

Looking at the silent adventurers, Sasha knew that if she couldn't offer something compelling, it would be difficult to persuade them further.

"Everyone, let's secretly organize another rebellion. This ceremony is extraordinary."

"You've all heard about the anomalies in the dungeons, haven't you? That kind of corruption that turns the dead into twisted things."

"As far as I know, the Earl obtained the core of the underground city's mutation and plans to replicate the mutation on the surface!"

"What if that contamination spreads throughout the city? Would you still be confident you could escape? What if everyone turns into twisted beings the moment the ritual succeeds?"

Upon hearing this, the soldier who had been drinking merely glanced at Sasha and said:

"You think you can just say that? Who do you think you are?"

"I am Sasha, the Sasha of the Frost Adventurers, and we have found our team's mage."

As she spoke, Sasha temporarily deactivated the artifact that allowed her to disguise her level, revealing her true level.

"She has broken through the magical barrier and made contact with the outside of the city."

"However, given the extent of the empire's corruption, it's probably too late. We specifically contacted the Church of Holy Light."

"Reinforcements should arrive soon, but we must do everything in our power to delay the lord's evil plans!"

To make her story more convincing, Sasha not only revealed her identity but also told a shocking lie to encourage the disheartened adventurers.

Sasha also exaggerated the dangers of the ritual to increase the adventurers' sense of urgency.

Judging from the adventurers' reactions, Sasha's plan was very successful; she successfully piqued their interest.
