Chapter 204

Negri stayed hidden for a few days. During the day, other than the maid Luntz who came to deliver his daily necessities, no one else would come to his room, since there was a washroom in the room.

During the day, it was the time for people to go about their daily activities. Quite a few people could be seen on the streets, so it could be seen that this town was quite populated.

Every night, everyone would hide inside their houses, even if there were any lights that came on, they would quickly go out.

As he continued to gather information, Negri also gained a basic understanding of this world.

This area surrounded by a river was called Lohr, the largest city in the area, with a population of over 10,000.

Whenever night fell, monsters would be born in certain dark corners of the city. From the information he gathered, he found that the blood of evil in some people's bodies was the cause of these monsters' appearance.

At night, the moon would always appear in the sky, so moonlight was viewed as evil. Only during the moonless Spirit Cleansing Day would the night be relatively safe, at which time people would come out of their houses to hold a banquet.

At night, a few 'owls' would come out to hunt these monsters. It was said that they were hunters of the Sun Shadow church, although they were Clerics, no one was willing to come into contact with them.

During the day, those who collected the corpses were also members of the Sun Shadow church.

For the people here, a family member who mutated into a monster was the greatest scandal of all. The families of these people who carried the blood of evil would become the laughingstock of everyone, their status in the city would also unknowingly fall.

Work, school, marriage, and so on would all be an invisible obstacle. Everyone looked down on families with the blood of evil, and the fact that a family member who had mutated into a monster was the greatest stain on their reputation.

For example, the Delphi family from a while ago, due to the appearance of their eldest son's naked body on the streets, the originally arranged marriage of the Delphi family's second daughter was left unsettled, and the second daughter also gained the reputation of being unclean.

It was no wonder why Farnate had locked the young lady Chloe, who was Negri's host, on the second floor, not daring to go out even though her condition had been controlled through bloodletting.

The full name of the body Negri was residing in was Chloe Farnate, the eldest daughter of the Farnate family. Other than her, the only other members of the family were the head of the family, Morey Farnate, the bald middle-aged man, and Chromie Farnate, Chloe's younger brother.

These were the three official members of the Farnate family, other than them, there were only the maid Lunges, the butler Birosius, as well as a few non-permanent gardeners.

Of the entire family, the only ones who knew about Chloe's situation were the head of the family, Farnate, the butler, and the maid.

Her younger brother, Chromie Farnate, had been studying abroad for a long time, only returning on Spirit Cleansing Day every month.

Meanwhile, Spirit Cleansing Day was held on the 9th day of every month. The entire Lohr city worshipped the Sun Shadow church, in other words, the Lord of the Sun — — Eternal Heat.

Every month, the Sun Shadow church would hold a Spirit Cleansing Day to receive the radiance of God, which was also where the name of the Sun Shadow church came from. They compared humanity to the Lighteyes, shadow-like existences, and only by receiving the radiance of light could they receive salvation.

It was also a rare time for Chloe to be free, participating in the banquet to prove that the eldest daughter of the Farnate family was still a normal person.

Today was also Spirit Cleansing Day, or more accurately, the morning of the second day. After a night of revelry, everyone would come together to watch the sunrise and receive the light of dawn.

It was also on this night that no monsters would appear in the entire city. According to the words of the Sun Shadow church, those sinners were afraid of the radiance of God.

Of course, aside from the Sun Shadow church, there were other religions in Lohr, but none of them were mainstream, only a few outsiders believed in them. Some religions that didn't worship a Righteous God would even be forbidden by the Sun Shadow church.

As for which Righteous Gods there were, the Sun Shadow church didn't mention them. Although they wouldn't restrict other people from worshipping other Righteous Gods, they wouldn't even try to spread the word, as the Sun Shadow church would only point out which Evil Gods were worshipped.

Among them, the Soundless cult was an organization that had been specially publicized by the Sun Shadow church. The reason why the sinners in Lohr far surpassed other regions was because of the Soundless cult.

"Wear the ring tonight, do not show any abnormalities, for Chromie" The door was unlocked. Farnate opened the door, said the second sentence he had spoken to Negri in a while, then put a small box on the table and left.

On the other side, Lunches also entered the room with a formal attire, helping Negri put on the ocean-blue formal attire.

The streets of the city finally became a bit more lively. There was only a single night like this every month, the rest of the time people would be holed up in their rooms, listening to the howls of various monsters, so there were quite a few people who would go crazy at night.

Negri sat on a horse carriage, next to him was Chromie, who had just returned home in the afternoon. He seemed to be very close to his sister.

Negri was wearing a ring on his finger, a silver ring with a small emerald embedded on it, with a line of text engraved on the inside of the ring.

The text wasn't written in the current common language, but Negri was able to recognize it.

"May the moon be with you!" Negri recalled the line of prayer. Compared to the Sun Shadow church's worship of the sun, it seemed completely out of place.

After putting the ring on, Negri could feel some sort of power seeping out from the ring and seeping into her body, causing this body to undergo some sort of change, as if it had become more natural.

Sure enough, the Farnate family is related to the worship of the moon, that's why they have this kind of ring. Negri recalled. Society as a whole currently views the moon as an object of misfortune, and the moon does indeed bring about misfortune.

The pantheon has changed, and so have the species. Negri narrowed his eyes and thought to himself. Tonight was a good chance for him to hand this body over to Lanshan. Being confined to this body, he wouldn't be able to obtain any more information.

Rashly starting a conflict with the Farnate family or taking Crowley's body to cultivate a viral body wasn't a good idea. Firstly, the Sun Shadow church would easily notice something amiss, secondly, it would also cut off the clues that the will of the world had specifically given him, and thirdly, Negri didn't want Lanshan to lose her [Origin] so quickly.

From what the owls said, the Sun Shadow church does indeed wield supernatural powers, a church with a so-called 'God'. Negri's gaze moved a bit, he indeed needed to find a suitable opportunity.

In his current state, if the Sun Shadow church discovered him, there was a real chance that he would be screwed.
