My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Chapter 44 Finding the Purified Crown

This sound made Su Tu breathe a sigh of relief.

If these guys are too stupid and never find it, he'll still need to take matters into his own hands.

That would likely deepen Jessica's suspicions.

Although it's only one possibility, the probability is quite low.

However, his cautious nature compels him to do things as well as he expects.

Since he expects someone else to find the crown, he must wait until someone else finds it.

Even if this person isn't found, Su Tu will most likely choose to have the reconnaissance team search again.

If two times isn't enough, then three times.

If the third attempt fails, he will have no choice but to leave with his men and find another opportunity to return the crown.

There's no way around it; if it's more than three times, it'll seem like he's being too deliberate.

Searching three times seemed too deliberate, so let's leave it at that.

If he finds it during the final, third search, Jessica will definitely cause him trouble.

Fortunately, the crown was found this time, which gave his plan a good start.

"Next, I need to urge the king to proceed with the baptism ceremony," Su Tu thought to himself.

The princess is currently investigating the eight corpses related to the witch. He is nominally the assistant for this operation and should not be allowed to leave at will.

However, since it concerned the baptism of calamity, it was quite easy for him to leave using this reason.

Lost in thought, he had arrived at the living room of the house, the place where he had previously made his deal with Rhys.

At this point, the crown had already been handed to Jessica.

Looking at the familiar crown in her hand, a look of relief flashed in Su Tu's eyes.

We are now one-third of the way from successfully completing the third phase of the mission.

Next comes the baptism, finding the calamity required by the mission, and obtaining the fan.

Getting the fan back is fine; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should still be in Bot's hands.

When the time comes, the princess can simply retrieve the fan under the guise of an investigation.

As for how to deliver the fan to the designated target, to be honest, he had no clue at the moment.

Judging from the task description, this task does not seem to have any mandatory requirements; the fan must be delivered to the designated person through the avatar's hand.

So, does that mean the mission is complete once the designated person gets the fan?

The process itself isn't really important.

This would make things much simpler for Su Tu.

The only thing that needs to be considered is how to define the person to whom the task is assigned.

Is the mission completed simply by making contact, or is it necessary to bind a specific person to the magical tool?

If he doesn't even know this, then his mission can be declared a failure in advance.

"Forget it, let's find the person first. We'll give him the fan and he'll know."

Su Tu withdrew his gaze from the crown and casually looked at the people who had come with him.

He paused slightly before issuing the order.

"Now that the crown has been found, let's go back."

After the order was given, the faces of the people who came with Su Tu were clearly filled with smiles.

Even the way they looked at Su Tu changed from a little doubt to admiration.

Although he didn't do anything, he just brought people here and arranged for them to search for the crown.

But emotions can be so irrational sometimes.

The joy of finding the crown and completing the mission naturally made them admire Su Tu.

If it weren't Su Tu leading the team this time, but someone else, the mission would most likely not have been completed.

This is what they are thinking at this moment.

Of course, Jessica, who has experienced more, wouldn't have such emotions.

Even so, the look in her eyes when she looked at Su Tu no longer held the suspicion she had shown at the door.

This made Su Tu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

It must be said that the close connection between the original body and the avatar greatly increases the risk of exposure.

But once they cooperate, under his unified command, they can accomplish a great deal.

Even if the number of his avatars increases in the future, no one will be able to stop Su Tu from doing whatever he wants.

However, since there are few avatars available now, it is still necessary to protect the main body and stay away from dangerous vortexes.

Take, for example, the current situation in the reconnaissance team.

Su Tu could clearly sense that the entire camp was busy dealing with the eight corpses.

If it were just an ordinary corpse, it might not be so troublesome.

Ultimately, what truly motivated the Royal Scouts to invest so much manpower and resources was the word "witch."

Su Tu didn't know much about witches and what they represented to the empire.

However, judging from the current situation at the residence and the king's attitude, it is clear that the witch incident is definitely not a good thing.

Even as the second son of the duke, if he were to get caught up in this vortex, he could easily lose his life.

So now that he has found the crown and accomplished his goal, Su Tu has no reason to stay at the base any longer.

Getting away from this dangerous witch's vortex is Su Tu's next goal.

At the very least, the main body should stay away from this vortex.

While he was pondering, his teammates were already ready. Without hesitation, Su Tu led the group back to the Royal Reconnaissance Team's base.

Upon arriving at the base, as expected, the successful discovery of the crown immediately earned praise from the high command of the reconnaissance team.

Almost everyone who participated in this operation received a generous reward, at least 25 gold coins.

Su Tu, who was in charge of the operation, received almost twice the reward as the others.

However, Su Tu didn't seem to care much about these rewards.

He is now burdened with the name of calamity; his family will not give him any money, but they will certainly not let him starve.

Confined to a room, they had no worries about food or drink.

I spend my days either sleeping or spacing out. Aside from feeling a lack of freedom and a sense of oppression, it's actually not too bad.

So money and such are not that important to him.

However, considering that his other avatars might need the money later, he accepted it and kept it safe.

While they were celebrating finding the crown, Su Tu had already returned to his room.

But before he could close the door, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Su Tu, may I come in? There's something I want to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, Su Tu stood still for a moment, then stepped aside and made way for him.

"Come in."

After the person entered the room, Su Tu glanced at both sides of the corridor, found no one, and gently closed the door.

Su Tu walked to his bedside, sat down, picked up the kettle next to him, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Your Highness, is there something you need that brings you here so suddenly?"

He took a sip of water, placed the glass on the table, and looked at the person in front of him.

The person who arrived was Eve, who was sitting opposite Su Tu with a joyful expression on her face.

However, after hearing Su Tu's words, the joyful expression on his face disappeared.

Deep within her clear eyes, a faint trace of sadness could still be seen.

But soon, a warm smile appeared on her face.

"Su Tu, thank you for bringing back the Purification Crown. With the crown, the baptism can proceed as planned."
